Chapter 1135 - Divorce? (1)
Ah Yong, who had been standing beside her, saw Gu Lingsha’s gloomy’s expression. He thought about it before deciding to lower his voice and speak up, “Miss Lingsha, go home first. I’m here. The boss probably won’t wake up so soon, and the Madam still needs you to care for her, so you should take care of yourself.”
Gu Lingsha sighed as she took a look at Gu Qiwu on the sickbed, then she nodded at Ah Yong. “I’ll leave Father to you then. When he wakes up, call me right away!”
Gu Lingsha could not care less now. Knowing that Gu Qiwu was alright for now made her relieved, but her mind kept replaying the things that he had said to her earlier. Right then, there was a burning pain at her neck. Earlier, when she had gone to the washroom, she noticed that there were bruises on her neck!
Gu Qiwu had always been a person with strong self-restraint, and Gu Lingsha had never seen him this angry before. You could tell that the incident this time had had quite an impact on him. However, how could her mother, Doris, someone whom she had always thought was elegant and appropriate, have done such a thing?
Gu Lingsha had also seen the way Gu Qiwu doted on Doris. She could tell that Gu Qiwu truly loved Doris. If Doris really did it, how could he not have felt bitterly disappointed and angry?
Now that she thought about it, if it were true, she probably would not have been able to bear it too!
She still did not quite want to believe it! She had always admired Gu Qiwu and Doris’s relationship. How could she believe such a thing so easily?
Thus, she was impatient to ask Doris about whether it was all true for herself!
Doris’s ward was in Hospital T too. In fact, Doris was being grounded by Gu Qiwu right now.
When Gu Lingsha went over, she could see the four bodyguards that stood guard outside the ward, watching it carefully. Gu Qiwu had ordered them not to let Doris step out of the room at all!
However, when Gu Lingsha went over, the bodyguards obviously let her through. As she pushed the door open, what greeted her sight was the empty bed. She looked around, then noticed Doris who was by the window and watching the sunset outside.
Gu Lingsha stopped and watched her silently for a while, before she called out softly, “Mother—”
Upon hearing Gu Lingsha’s voice, Doris, who was enjoying the scenery outside, looked back and then lowered her gaze. “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to see anyone right now?” Her cold voice showed no hints of warmth at all.
Gu Lingsha struggled for a bit before she said, “Mother, you haven’t recovered. Why did you get down from the bed? Let me help you back to bed to rest.”
Doris did not answer.
Stunned, Gu Lingsha walked over and stopped by Doris’s side. When she looked at her mother’s exquisite yet indifferent face, she sighed. “Mother, Father got drunk and was sent to the hospital because of gastrointestinal bleeding. Right now, he’s in a ward under observation. He said that you…Was what he said all real?” Gu Lingsha found it hard to ask.
Upon hearing that Gu Qiwu was hospitalized, Doris paused and asked, “What? What did he say about me?”
“Mother, she said that the child you had…wasn’t his. Mother, did you cheat on Father?” Gu Lingsha asked softly.
When she heard that, Doris smiled calmly, and then reached out to caress her flat belly, a while after she sneered and said, “What did you think?”
“Mother, I don’t believe it! I don’t believe that you’d betray Father! Father’s so good to you. You wouldn’t do something like that, right?” Gu Lingsha frantically pulled at Doris’s loose sleeve as she said in a rush.
“Good to me? Betray?”
When Doris heard these words, it was as if she heard a joke. She laughed. “He had two children with Mu Zi behind my back. Is that what you call being good to me? Betray? Isn’t what he did a betrayal to me? I’m just giving him a taste of his own medicine! I told him that I’m never weak. When Gu Qiwu married me, he should understand that one day, the person who’d control him would be me! And not him controlling me!” she sneered and turned to look at the miserable Gu Lingsha.
“Do you think he’s such a good person? He’s good to me on the outside, but he’s still vigilant against me in secret. To me, he’s just a hypocritical person. Why is he allowed to betray me with such gusto? If Qi Feng did that to you too, could you accept it? Shasha, don’t act impulsively. Men can’t be trusted. Do you think that Qi Feng will always be good to you just because he is now? Learn from my mistakes. Women should always have a hold on something!” Doris turned to look at Gu Lingsha. Her eyes were as sharp as knives as they flickered with a cold light, one that was cold and penetrating.
“Qi Qiming could not get rid of Wang Qin because she was a smart woman! She knew how to manage authority. Otherwise, Wang Qin wouldn’t have stood tall in the Qi family with the way Qi Qiming treated her. Shasha, you’ve gone through quite a bit of hardship too. You’ve been wondering about these relationships. Do you still not get it?
“Once Gu Qiwu acknowledges Mu Lingshi, you won’t be the only heiress in the Gu family.” Doris forced a laughed and averted her gaze apathetically before looking out of the window. The warmth of the setting sun could not chase away the coldness that she emitted.
“You’re my daughter. No matter what, I wouldn’t hurt you, but you’re always disagreeing with me. You missed out on Mu Yuchen, and now you’re caught up with someone like Qi Feng. How could you beat Qi Feng? I’m just worried that when the time comes, you were just paving the way for him.”
“Mother, whatever happens, Ah Feng is someone who’s been through a lot with me, and we’re married now. We even have a daughter, Weiwei. Ah Feng wouldn’t do that to me. I trust him! You’re too paranoid. Father and Mu Zi’s incident was many years ago. In fact, Mu Zi’s dead! So what if Mu Lingshi’s still around? As long as Father doesn’t give the green light, she’s nothing! Father loves you so much, yet you did such a thing. He must be bitterly disappointed. Otherwise, take advantage of the guilt that Father feels so that he will treat you and us even better! Mother, from the way I see it, you’re the confused one! In fact, your actions have made me incredibly disappointed! How could you betray Father?”
