Chapter 671 Appearances can be deceiving.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunting secretly glanced at the old man. He was innocent too, okay? As soon as he came back, the old man started asking him all sorts of questions, so he was bound to tell him everything.
It's nothing more than... well, it's just a little exaggerated!
"Why don't you say that our grandpa has a really weird temper? If he hadn't kept asking me questions, I wouldn't have said so much. If he doesn't like something, he'll start a full-blown fight. I'm the one who suffers."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Chu immediately glared at her with a fierce expression, but when he caught a glimpse of Chu Xin watching him out of the corner of his eye, he could only pout in grievance, his voice carrying a hint of old-fashioned coquetry.
"Hey? You talked too much yourself, how can you blame me? You knew I couldn't resist the temptation, yet you still described the scene to me so vividly. I was worried about Old Gu, that's why I was anxious!"
Chu Yunting: ...
Grandpa, you're becoming more and more of a stranger to me.
Chu Xin and Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh at the old man's tone, but they held it in so that things would quiet down quickly.
"Cough cough!"
Struggling to suppress the urge to grin, Chu Xin didn't look at Old Master Chu. "Alright, alright, stop shouting around so late at night. The dogs outside have already barked once. If they keep barking like this, someone will come knocking on the door."
Everyone go to sleep!
Grandpa Chu felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to suffer any loss. "What business is it of anyone else if I scold my own grandson in my own home? Even if they come here, I'm still in the right!"
The stubborn old man is quite difficult to reason with.
Chu Xin didn't give him any chance to make an excuse. She jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Li Xiu with one hand and Chu Yunting with the other, and led them upstairs.
"Yes, yes, you're amazing! You're still going strong, so please keep going. We young people are too weak to miss a night's sleep, so we're going to bed now!"
"well??"
Old Master Chu felt as if his heart was stuffed with cotton, and he watched helplessly as the other three members of the family of four walked away without looking back.
After holding it in for a while, he muttered three words, "You brat!"
What kind of daughter did that damned son raise? She's so annoying all the time, he spoiled her rotten!
After blaming everything on Chu Huaimin, Old Master Chu felt much better, turned around, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
Forget it, forget it. He's so old, he should really learn to behave himself. This brat of his doesn't care about age when she's being sarcastic. If he doesn't know his place, he'll just be asking for trouble.
the next day.
When Gu Beizhan woke up in the hospital, there was no one beside him.
His muddled mind paused for a while before he remembered everything that had happened yesterday, including the ruthlessness of his own father and son. A wave of sadness and sorrow washed over him.
This time, he truly has no son left, and even his father no longer cares for him.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Just as he was feeling miserable, a woman's voice rang out. Startled, Gu Beizhan hurriedly wiped away his tears, and hissed as he touched his swollen face.
The young nurse came in to check on the patient as usual. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a patient with gray hairs at his temples silently shedding tears. Worried, she asked a question, but she didn't expect to frighten him.
She hurried over, took Gu Beizhan's hand, and breathed a sigh of relief after carefully examining it. "Comrade, your face is even worse than yesterday. Your nose is broken, so you can't touch it carelessly. If it doesn't heal properly, it will grow crooked."
Furthermore, you should be prepared that during the recovery period, the bruises and discoloration on your face will fade slowly, and there's a possibility of peeling. You won't be able to show your face in public for a while.
Gu Beizhan felt even more bitter when he thought about how he got this injury. He wanted to turn his face away so the nurse wouldn't see, but the pain intensified as soon as he moved his neck. It felt as if his entire neck and above had been broken and then stitched back together, and he couldn't move his head and neck in a coordinated manner.
He tried to pronounce it, "Uh... ah..."
The nurse glanced silently at the dark bruise around his neck, which was swollen to almost the size of his head, and kindly advised him, "You shouldn't speak right now."
Gu Beizhan swallowed hard, just getting used to the pain, but the nurse's words that would make him even more devastated were yet to come.
"Your entire body is temporarily immobile. You have three broken ribs and numerous bruises and sprains. You need to rest and recuperate for a while."
That means he has completely stopped for the past month or two.
Gu Beizhan couldn't express the sorrow in his heart, and didn't want to awkwardly stare at the nurse, his eyes darting left and right.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking for something, the nurse kindly explained, "Your father is old. He came to pay the fees yesterday and then went home. He requested that this ward be prepared especially for you. Oh, by the way, a caregiver will help you with the toileting issue in a little while. Just wait a bit."
Sigh, judging from his father's words, the patient himself provoked the fight and got beaten up, so he didn't let the hospital report it to the police.
I don't know why this person, who is not young, is still causing trouble like a vagrant wandering the streets. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
After speaking, the nurse took his temperature again before leaving. Gu Beizhan lay motionless, as if in a dream, lifeless.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Beizhan glanced at him sideways but didn't say anything.
The people outside didn't wait for his response and pushed the door open to come in the next moment.
The newcomer had a smile on his face and was carrying something in his hand. Upon seeing him, he greeted him, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Beizhan looked surprised. Although he couldn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Why did he come?
