Chapter 923: Chapter 925: Don’t Leave Me
The sky was turning a pale white as Gu Mingzhu gradually awoke. Opening her eyes, she looked at the yellowing ceiling and smelled the disinfectant of the hospital, feeling somewhat lost.
She turned her head and the moment she saw Jiang Jing by her bedside, her eyes lit up with excitement. She sat up, ignoring the pain in her wrist, and threw herself into Jiang Jing’s embrace, extremely emotional.
"Brother Jing, you finally came to see me."
Gu Mingzhu held Jiang Jing tightly, her heart filled with excitement. She just knew, she knew Jiang Jing wouldn’t abandon her.
"Be careful of your hand," Jiang Jing reminded her stiffly.
"I don’t care."
Gu Mingzhu felt that her hand didn’t hurt at all. She tilted her head up, her pale little face accentuating her big, dark eyes as she said, "Brother Jing, I just knew you wouldn’t leave me. I’ve realized my mistake, and I promise I won’t do anything like this again. Will you forgive me?"
Gu Mingzhu carefully looked at Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and said, "No matter what, you must cherish your life."
"Without you, what’s the point of living?" Gu Mingzhu said softly.
Jiang Jing: "..."
"Are you hungry? I’ll go heat up some porridge for you." Jiang Jing tried to change the topic, wanting to push her back to sit properly. But Gu Mingzhu clung to him, unwilling to let go and said, "Brother Jing, don’t leave me!"
"I won’t go, I’m just getting you some porridge."
Jiang Jing explained.
Gu Mingzhu still didn’t let go, saying, "I’m not hungry, you don’t go."
"Mingzhu." Jiang Jing looked at Gu Mingzhu helplessly, not daring to forcibly push her away. He could only let her be, until Gu Mingzhu fell asleep again, still holding Jiang Jing’s hand tightly.
In the morning, when Fang Yue brought porridge over, Gu Mingzhu was still tightly holding Jiang Jing’s hand. Fang Yue greeted them as warmly as if nothing had happened before, enthusiastically saying, "Xiaojing, I bought porridge today, along with meat buns and fried dough sticks. See which one you like to eat?"
"Oh, and there’s soy milk too," Fang Yue said, waving the soy milk in her hand.
"Soy milk and fried dough sticks, thank you."
Jiang Jing took the soy milk but found that he couldn’t let go of the other hand. Once he did, Gu Mingzhu would hold on tightly again, so Jiang Jing had to hold the fried dough sticks in one hand, eating them, and drinking the hot soy milk afterward.
...
"Elder brother, I’m going to the city today," Xu Nianhua was up early, packing her things.
Xu Nianji paused for a moment and said, "No, Nianhua, you just stay at home." What if the Gu Family bullies Nianhua?
"Elder brother, you’re around. Could the Gu Family really do anything to me?" Xu Nianhua said playfully.
On the side, Xu Nian’an asked, "Little sister, why are you going to the city, to deal with the Gu Family?"
"To settle things with the Gu Family," Xu Nianhua replied. This matter had been dragging on long enough, and she felt the time was right now.
"I’m going too today."
Xu Nian’an’s eyes lit up.
Xu Nianhua countered, "Don’t you have to go to the clinic?"
"If Master knew, he’d definitely agree too." Xu Nian’an said excitedly, hearing that everything brought by the Gu Family had to be returned. Xu Nian’an was happily packing them up.
The little sister is of the Xu Family, not some Gu Family member.
Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying repeatedly reminded them to make sure they made things clear with the Gu Family and to take good care of their little sister.
Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an assured them, "Mom and Dad, don’t worry. We’ll definitely protect our little sister."
