CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: HOLDING IT IN

Gu Lingling didn’t expect Zhang Lanzhi to be so strong in battle.

A few words from her left Wang Meili speechless and made Gu Chunhai’s face flush red with embarrassment.

Even Old Mrs. Gu on the side felt aggrieved but dared not speak.

Absolutely amazing, isn’t it?

No wonder she wasn’t appointed the women’s director for nothing.

Gu Lingling was hospitalized just like that, watching Wang Meili nearly die of anger but unable to say a word, it felt incredibly satisfying.

"Are you happy now?"

Wang Meili helped Old Mrs. Gu outside to catch her breath, Gu Chunhai was called outside by Zhang Lanzhi for further re-education, as Gu Juan looked at Gu Lingling lying in bed, she found her increasingly irritating.

"Yes, very happy." Gu Lingling did not deny it, she directly nodded, "Do you have a problem with that? Even if you do, it doesn’t matter."

"Hold it in."

Just as Gu Juan was about to curse, Gu Lingling calmly said two words, almost making Gu Juan explode with anger, "Gu Lingling, you are shameless."

This ward has only four beds, Gu Lingling is in the one by the window, and there’s another person lying on the bed by the door, who looked up at them upon seeing Gu Juan’s demeanor.

"If we’re talking about a thick skin, who can match you?" Gu Lingling looked Gu Juan up and down with a half-smiling expression, "You better remember what I said last time; if not, every time I see you, I’ll hit you."

Even if now Old Mrs. Gu is being led around by Wang Meili, so what?

To ask her to deal with them deceitfully again, she couldn’t do it.

Especially seeing Wang Meili’s fake virtuous and considerate look, it just made her sick.

Today at the village entrance, she finally tore down the facade, venting the bottled-up frustration that had been in her heart since her rebirth.

As for Gu Juan, there’s even less to be said.

Today’s beating was just to give her a lesson, to stop her from talking nonsense.

"Gu Lingling, we’ll see." Gu Juan stomped her feet and ran out.

The look in Gu Lingling’s eyes felt like a knife, stripping away the clothes she was wearing piece by piece.

And those clothes were all once taken from Gu Lingling by her.

They were all made by Grandma Yao for Gu Lingling.

Why?

Why did Gu Lingling have such a skillful grandma, even though before she didn’t care much for her grandma’s family, every year Grandma Yao would invariably make clothes for Gu Lingling.

And Old Mrs. Wang wished she could strip all her things and bring them into the Wang Family.

Finally, her ears quieted down, Gu Lingling lay on the hospital bed, thinking about what just happened.

Was it Yang Yunhai who specifically instructed the doctor to say those things?

Then, Gu Lingling shook her head.

Who is Yang Yunhai?

In a few years, he will be a prominent figure in Capital City, she remembered back then in Overseas Chinese Hotel, when the manager talked about him, they praised that if Yang Yunhai stayed in the military...

How could he possibly do something like that for a little girl like her?

Yang Yunhai was equally puzzled, what was wrong with him today?

The two people who couldn’t figure it out both made the same choice, and that was to stop thinking about it.

Outside the hospital, Gu Chunhai, squatting on the ground, didn’t have such peace in his heart, the words Zhang Lanzhi had said before leaving echoed incessantly in his ears.

"Gu Chunhai, do you know? The thing I regret most now is introducing you to Ruqian, I caused Ruqian’s death."

"I think, if Ruqian could see Lingling like this now, she probably wouldn’t just regret, but more so be disappointed."

"What happens in the future, you should think it over clearly."

"You can’t wrong Ruqian, and still wrong the two children she worked so hard to give birth to."
