Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Someone Always Seeks Revenge in Her Dreams Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Someone Always Seeks Revenge in Her Dreams “If it’s true, this situation is going to be difficult to handle.”
The Old Patriarch had just recovered, and he was about to welcome his grandson’s family to the Imperial Capital; he could not be agitated.”
It’s better to leave.”
During this time, he should diligently gather evidence.”
Zhang Yi watched as the car pulled away, then started walking toward the road himself.”
When he reached Yubao Square, he saw Gu Jiansheng busily fiddling with his camera with great enthusiasm.”
Zhang Yi sighed to himself. Except for not liking the Old Patriarch, this child could indeed be considered pure-hearted.”
He wondered how someone as crafty as Ning Wanru could have raised someone like Gu Jiansheng.”
He knew that Gu City’s eldest daughter was no good citizen–stealing someone’s fiance and then injuring that girl. He didn’t understand how that incident hadn’t blown up before it was suppressed.”
It must have been the doing of the Second Lady, he thought.”
When Gu Jiansheng saw Zhang Yi returning, his eyes lit up with delight. He stood up swiftly, “Uncle Zhang, you’re back.”
“Yes, I’m back,” Zhang Yi nodded and asked, “How’s the learning going?”
“Well…” Gu Jiansheng scratched his head sheepishly, then his eyes flickered. “Uncle Zhang, it’s good you’re back. I need to visit my grandmother. She seems to be unwell.”
Without waiting for Zhang Yi to respond, he had already dashed off in a flash.”
Zhang Yi pondered, could Ning Wanru be unwell?”
By the time Gu Jiansheng arrived at North Mountain Villa, Ning Wanru already knew that Gu Qingfeng had followed Qiaoqiao that morning.”
Can’t she wait until she’s feeling more agile before going to meet her grandson’s family?”
Ning Wanru snickered coldly. Was it because she feared that she might die any day and never see them again?”
When Gu Jiansheng arrived, she had just finished a call with Gu Jianhua.”
She instructed him to act according to the situation.”
If that failed, then pretend ignorance.”
But Gu Jianhua’s reaction seemed somewhat different from what she had expected.”
Ning Wanru’s expression turned sour. Whom was she working so hard for? Whom was she busy for?”
He dared to show impatience with her?”
Enjoying everything the Gu Family had to offer meant being prepared to lose it all.”
If it weren’t for her careful and wary approach, could she and Gu Cheng have made it to this day?”
Otherwise, she might have long been forgotten in some corner.”
If he dared to upset her again, she wouldn’t mind destroying everything he had.”
But at this thought, Ning Wanru couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.”
What was wrong with her?”
Why did she feel like ruining her own grandson’s career?”
She surely hadn’t intended that.”
Only then did Ning Wanru feel something was off with herself lately.”
Gazing at the worried Gu Jiansheng, she said, “Jiansheng, accompany Grandma to a place…”
As she spoke, she draped a silk shawl around her shoulders and walked towards the outside of the villa.”
“Grandma, let’s go to Imperial Capital Hospital. They’ve just brought in a new set of equipment from abroad, we…”
“Not to the hospital,” Ning Wanru interrupted Gu Jiansheng impatiently, then had to slow down her voice, “We are going somewhere else.”
She wasn’t a young person who would rush to the hospital at the slightest hunch of something amiss.”
Moreover, she had just had a check-up; there was nothing wrong with her physically.”
But still, something felt off.”
She was constantly having nightmares, always someone seeking revenge in her dreams.”
Her skin was getting drier.”
Although she was in good spirits, her complexion was horribly poor.”
In just over a month, she had aged a decade.”
She knew what she had done; no one was more aware of it than her.”
That’s why she had started overthinking things.”
Additionally, being cunning by nature and prone to overthink during situations, her mind was very sharp.”
That’s why she had noticed that something was amiss.”
