Gu’s father had always treated her well and felt sorry for her, but due to Mrs. Gu’s sharp and mean nature, he couldn’t say much. Nevertheless, Gu Yan always kept his kindness in her heart.
Hearing Gu’s father’s words, Mrs. Gu didn’t care that he was still coughing and immediately screamed, "Why shouldn’t she do it! As long as we can get the money for your surgery, it doesn’t matter if she has to sacrifice her life for it! That’s her duty!"
Gu Yan was already numb to Mrs. Gu’s words; her only concern was for Gu’s father.
"Dad, please rest well, don’t worry about anything. I’ll find a way to get you treated, but this time, once I hand over a million, I’ll sever ties with your family completely. After that, you’ll be the only one I acknowledge."
Gu’s father sighed, "It’s been hard on you, child."
"Why should she deserve any sympathy!" Mrs. Gu glared at her with disdain.
Ignoring her, Gu Yan looked at Gu’s father, "Dad, get more rest. I’ll go find a doctor to see when it would be suitable for your surgery. You don’t have to wait for me. I’ll leave after asking, and when I return with the money, I’ll arrange the operation for you."
"Gu Yan, don’t push yourself."
"I know." She smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Mrs. Gu glared at her back, "What kind of attitude is that! She messed up the medical expenses, where is she going to get that much money? Maybe she’s running away!"
The thought that Gu Yan might run away and abandon them made Mrs. Gu panicked and resentful, cursing Gu Yan in her mind countless times.
Meanwhile, Gu Qin seemed lost in thought.
Gu Yan went straight to the attending physician to discuss the timing of Gu’s father’s surgery.
Gu’s father had just woken up, and the doctor needed to observe him for a day before deciding. Gu Yan left her phone number for the doctor to call her once they decided.
"Thank you very much."
"It’s my duty," the doctor said. "But Miss Gu, is the injury on your face serious?"
Gu Yan shyly pushed her hair forward to cover her swollen cheeks and shook her head, "It’s nothing."
She stood up and said to the doctor, "Please be sure to call me so I can come over and pay the medical expenses in full."
"Then I’ll take my leave. Goodbye."
Gu Yan exited the doctor’s office as the doctor sighed softly, thinking she was a pitiable child.
As soon as she stepped out of the hospital gate, she saw Gu Qin walking straight towards her. Gu Yan mentally rolled her eyes.
Gu Qin stopped in front of her, crossed her arms, and looked at her, immediately asking, "Gu Yan, where are you going to get that much money?"
"We are at least sisters, isn’t it normal to care? Are you asking Tang Yuxiu for it? Are you really together?"
So that’s what she was getting at.
Gu Yan looked at her indifferently, "What does it matter to you whether I’m with him or not?"
Her attitude made Gu Qin furious, and she immediately mocked her, "It’s none of my business. How could Tang Yuxiu be interested in someone like you, lacking both figure and looks?"
After leaving with President Liu yesterday, she got severely scolded, and if it weren’t for him needing urgent care for his injuries, she would have probably faced violence.
As soon as she got back, she immediately looked up everything about Tang Yuxiu, and every detail made her heart race with fear!
She didn’t expect this man to have such a powerful background!
The Tang Group is the leader of Jiang City’s business community, a standout domestically, and has an excellent reputation abroad!
What the eldest son of the Tang Family represents doesn’t even bear contemplating!
How could Gu Yan possibly get involved with such an influential person!
