Disorder in marriage

For the next while, Jiang Jin stood between the two outside the operating room, where they stood facing each other, neither of them speaking.

As soon as Gu Yunmo was wheeled out, the old lady hurriedly stood up, trembling. "Doctor, how is my grandson?"

"The wound has been stitched up. Fortunately, no internal organs were damaged. Now we just need to wait for the anesthesia to wear off."

"Okay, thank you!"

Yan Zhi didn't listen to their conversation; her gaze remained fixed on Gu Yunmo's serene face.

Gu Yunmo finally opened his eyes at dawn.

Grandma Gu rushed forward, crying, and gently massaged his arms and legs, inch by inch, asking, "Is anything bothering you?"

"Grandma, I'm fine."

Grandma Gu clutched her handkerchief, wiping away her tears. "You scared me to death! Knowing you have so many enemies, why didn't you bring bodyguards with you!"

Gu Yunmo parted his thin lips slightly, "I'll remember to bring it next time."

Yan Zhi didn't disturb them. Gu Yunmo turned to her only after he finished talking with the old lady, asking, "Are you alright?"

Yan Zhi shook her head.

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Gu Yunmo didn't ask any further questions.

Grandma Gu gave Yan Zhi a warning look, but ultimately didn't mention the unpleasant incident at the operating room door.

"I just discussed it with Xiaozhi. It's not a good way for the two of you to continue living like this. I've already asked Old Man Qin to go to the Zhou family and bring Niannian back."

She had barely finished speaking when Gu Yunmo frowned and interrupted, "Grandma!"

Grandma Gu remained unfazed. "If you had focused on your family, none of this would have happened. Xiaozhi, what do you say?"

Yan Zhi had no right to refuse. Gu Yunmo had just been rescued, and she couldn't very well have a heated argument with the old lady at his bedside.

"Grandma decides."

"Alright, I'll let Niannian live with you in a few days. That's settled then."

She made the decision without any room for discussion.

Yan Zhi even suspected that she had come to the hospital specifically because of Niannian's matter.

Moreover, after saying that, she left with her driver, completely disregarding Yan Zhi and Gu Yunmo's opinions.

The old lady wiped away her tears and suppressed her sorrow the moment she got into the car.

There was another person sitting in the back seat of the car. He hadn't slept all night either. He had dark circles under his eyes and was leaning forward, constantly looking out the window.

"Yunmo has been saved, and Yanzhi is taking care of him. Thank you for letting me know that Yunmo had an accident."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes guiltily, "You don't need to be so polite."

Grandma Gu looked at him: "But what do you mean by giving me those photos? I remember you also liked Yan Zhi, didn't you?"

Ling Xiao didn't hide his feelings, saying, "I like her, so I think when you see those photos, you'll approve of their divorce."

Grandma Gu scoffed and slowly adjusted her shawl.

"I don't like Yan Zhi, and I don't support this marriage. But my grandson likes her, and whether or not we get a divorce is his decision. As long as Yan Zhi is still our Gu family's daughter-in-law, I have to be prepared for her to become the mistress of the Gu family in the future."

Ling Xiao immediately couldn't sit still. "But Yan Zhi and Gu Yunmo aren't a good match! Gu Yunmo can't let go of Yan Fei! And Xiao Zhi won't tolerate any infidelity!"

Grandma Gu said calmly, "They were doing well before Yan Zhi's child had that accident. In the end, it still comes down to the child."

Ling Xiao heard her say, "I've already found them a child. With this child, their little family will gradually get better."

He lowered his head, his eyes fixed on some unknown place.

"You should let it go as soon as possible. I thank you this time, but if you dare to interfere in our family affairs again, I won't be polite."

The driver drove around the hospital twice before finally dropping Ling Xiao off on the side of the road.

After he got out of the car, his mind was filled with Grandma Gu's words.

Children, family matters.

See? He knew it. Once Yan Zhi knew the truth, he would distance himself from her again.

How could he accept that?

When he reached the roadside, he was blinded by the glaring sunlight and couldn't look directly at it. He could only pick up his phone and hesitate before calling Brother Long.

"What happened last night...wasn't it discovered?"

"Don't worry, even if they find out, my dad can handle it. So, is Gu Yunmo dead yet?"

"without."

Brother Long said regretfully, "What a pity, such a good opportunity yesterday."

Ling Xiao opened his mouth, his blood freezing cold. "I agree to what you said before."

"About me sleeping with Yan Zhi?"

Ling Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed as crazy thoughts constantly challenged his reason.

"I have only one request: help me destroy Gu Yunmo and Yan Zhi."

......

In the ward, Jiang Jin told Gu Yunmo everything that had happened at the operating room door.

They couldn't hide it no matter what they wanted to. Gu Yunmo had a keen intuition and could tell at a glance that they were all holding something back after waking up.

After listening, he asked Yan Zhi, "Does your face still hurt?"

"It's nothing."

Gu Yunmo couldn't say anything to the old lady. "If you don't want to go back to the old house in the future, you don't have to go."

I'll just get bullied if I go.

Since the relationship has already reached this point, there's no need to go through the formalities anymore.

"Um."

Yan Zhi tucked the blanket around him. "You should get some rest."

"Are you leaving?"

Yan Zhi glanced awkwardly at Jiang Jin, who immediately found an excuse to leave.

"I'm not leaving, don't worry."

Gu Yunmo wanted to talk to her, "Do you want to recite it?"

Yan Zhi calmly and seriously considered the matter, "Mian An is gone, Niannian is probably God's compensation to me."

Moreover, her situation was so similar to Niannian's. She was a superfluous existence in the Yan family, and Niannian was also regarded as a superfluous existence by the Zhou family.

Of course she could refuse, but she dared not think about how many adoptive parents the Zhou family would find for her, and whether those people could truly treat Nian Nian as their own daughter.

So after thinking it over, she felt at ease only raising the child herself.

"Gu Yunmo, will you treat her like your own daughter?"

Gu Yunmo said, "Yes."

Yan Zhi smiled faintly, "Then let's give it a try."

Gu Yunmo raised his hand and hooked his little finger around hers. "Our daughter is coming."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhi's emotions surged and became complex, as if she had finally seen the light after a long period of hardship.

"Um."

Gu Yunmo was to stay in the hospital for half a month, and Yan Zhi stayed with him at the hospital until the third day before going home.

I picked up some changes of clothes and went to the old house to see Niannian, who had just been brought to the capital.

She seemed to know that she had been sent here by her parents, and she acted both uneasy and sensible.

Yan Zhi thought back to when her parents passed away and she was given to her uncle and Wei Dinglian to raise; she was filled with fear.

She greeted Niannian first, "You'll be living with me from now on. Also, Uncle Yunmo is in the hospital; do you want to go see him?"

Niannian nodded and whispered, "Yes."

Yan Zhi held her little hand and drove a rather inconspicuous car from Gu Yunmo's garage to the hospital.

As she pushed open the ward door, a sweet "President Gu" immediately caught her attention, leaving her stunned and staring at her with a puzzled look.

Ji Shanmei sat on the edge of the bed, twisting her upper body to lean closer to Gu Yunmo.

"Mr. Gu, I heard you were injured, so I rushed back to see you. Are you still in pain?"
