Zhuang Shurong’s cold voice entered her ear with the breeze, making Gu Lingsha’s heart ache, yet she remained upright. She was about to say something when Zhuang Shurong had already walked past her.
“Aunt Zhuang, about Lingtian, I’d like to personally apologize, but I... All these years, I haven’t had it that great either. Aunt Zhuang...”
Before Gu Lingsha could finish, Zhuang Shurong had already walked ahead in huge strides. Clearly, she was not willing to stay for another second.
As she watched Zhuang Shurong’s figure move further away, Gu Lingsha clenched her fists. She was not sure why Zhuang Shurong disliked her so much. She clearly received very different treatment from Xi Xiaye.
Years ago, when she had agreed to marry Mu Yuchen, Zhuang Shurong had come looking for her. She had failed to dish out good advice and had even spilled coffee onto her.
However, she was not the same as she had been years ago anymore. Now, she would get all her justice for all of the grudges. She had to have whatever she should. She, Gu Lingsha, had returned from a blood-soaked rebirth. Was all the strife and struggle not for this?
She indifferently looked at Zhuang Shurong’s figure as she moved further away. Then, the dark storm brewing in Gu Lingsha’s eyes gradually vanished.
No one had ever understood her struggles and pain. Whatever it was, they would have to at least suffer it once, including Mu Yuchen!
Lingtian, Qi Feng, and her child who did not make it, and now Wei Wei...
When she thought about this, she suddenly lowered her head and reached out to caress her flat belly while shutting her eyes painfully.
If it were not for that accident, he would probably be going to school now just like little Wei Wei. He would have been just as cute and as smart.
The corner of her eyes started to tear up. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and pushed the tears in her eyes back with much difficulty. She inhaled a deep breath and returned to her usual beauty and elegance.
After going through the many misfortunes, she was already used to holding back her emotions as she wished. This time for her return, there were too many things she needed to do. Taking revenge was just one of them.
She, Gu Lingsha, had never been a weakling.
‘Mu Yuchen, you looked down on me, Gu Lingsha. One day, I will make you suffer more than I did and lose more people than I did. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be happy. Your brother’s blood is on your hands. What right do you have to happiness?’ Gu Lingsha silently vowed in her heart.
Right now, things had only just begun.
A faint smiled curved on Gu Lingsha’s lips before she sighed. Then, at this moment, Yang Sheng, who had gone over to find out about some things, had returned.
“Miss Gu, I’ve checked and Mr. Ruan is in VIP ward no. 19 on the 15th floor. He hasn’t regained consciousness, and his condition doesn’t look too good.” Yang Sheng told Gu Lingsha everything he found out.
Gu Lingsha nodded in gratitude. “Thanks, Assistant Yang. I’m fine here. I know you’re busy too. You don’t have to care about me. I want to be alone for a while, so you should leave first. If there’s anything, I’ll call you or Lei. You don’t have to accompany me. I’m quite tired too.”
“Miss Gu, I...”
“I’m used to it. It’s fine. Go now. I’ll go back and lie down for a while.”
Without waiting for Yang Sheng to finish, Gu Lingsha had already gotten up and walked into the building. In the end, Yang Sheng could only stand there, stunned. He did not follow after her either.
Gu Lingsha’s figure vanished slowly at the end of the corridor and he frowned. He was about to call Qi Lei, yet just as his hand reached into his pocket, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps from behind him. Just as he thought it sounded familiar, he quickly turned and saw Qi Lei strolling over with both hands in his pockets.
“Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng quickly went up, and then caught his breath before saying softly, “Master Qi, Miss Gu, she...”
“What did you say to her earlier? What did she ask you about?” Qi Lei squinted and looked at the retreating Gu Lingsha before turning to look at Yang Sheng.
“Master Qi, Miss Gu told me to find out which ward Mr. Ruan was in. Right, Miss Gu even asked me if you were really good friends with Chairman Mu and Director Xi.”
As Yang Sheng said this, he could vaguely feel Qi Lei’s expression tense up. His gaze seemed to dim a little, so he did not continue.
Qi Lei did not say anything. He fell silent for a long while, and in the end, turned to leave.
“Master Qi, where are you going?” Yang Sheng quickly followed him.
“Back to the office,” Qi Lei said, and then walked down the stairs.
...
On the staircase on the corner of Ruan Heng’s ward, Su Nan looked in a daze at the exquisitely beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared before her. She could not believe that the person who crashed into her husband’s car and caused Ruan Heng to be severely hurt and be in a coma would be this radiantly beautiful woman before her.
“I’m really sorry, Mrs. Ruan. I hope that Mr. Ruan will regain consciousness soon too. I heard that someone from the police will come over to ask about the incident, but before that, I hope we could peacefully resolve this. Here, this is a little token of sincerity from me.”
Just as Su Nan was looking at her while enduring all the sadness and fury, Gu Lingsha just smiled, appearing oddly humble as she gave Su Nan a $200,000 check.
Su Nan looked up with a dull gaze at Gu Lingsha. She brushed the check that Gu Lingsha handed over away. “I don’t want your money. I want you to return Ruan Heng in one piece to me. Why were you driving while you had a fever? If you don’t know how to drive, then don’t! Return Ruan Heng to me! It’s all because of you! It’s all your fault!”
Su Nan had already broken down these past few days, and she was extremely wan and sallow at this point.
Gu Lingsha frowned as she looked at the check that Su Nan had brushed to the ground. She glanced up at Su Nan. “Mrs. Ruan, both sides were wrong in this. Isn’t it a bit much to just put all the blame on me?”
“It doesn’t help anyone to magnify this issue. If I were you, I’d obediently take the check. If Mr. Ruan doesn’t regain consciousness... I heard that the two of you just had a daughter too. If you won’t think for yourself, at least consider your daughter, won’t you?”
A smile curved across Gu Lingsha’s lips as she smiled faintly at Su Nan.
“He will wake up! He will! Don’t spew nonsense!”
When she heard this, Su Nan suddenly took the check and then tore it to pieces before tossing it onto Gu Lingsha. “You’d better pray that Ruan Heng will be fine, or I won’t be letting go of this so easily!”
“Is that so? I’m afraid you don’t make the decisions here. Mr. Ruan was only severely hurt because he crashed into the railings on the side. It doesn’t really have much to do with me!”
Gu Lingsha’s words had no doubt added fuel to the fire. Su Nan instantly clenched her fists and swung one out without a word!
