Disorder in marriage

As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Nian Nian, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.

His heart jumped into his throat, and he didn't even realize how guilty and anxious he looked at Niannian.

Yan Zhi and Gu Yunmo stood around the bed. "Niannian?"

Niannian opened her round eyes and looked at everyone.

She opened her mouth and made an unclear sound, and it took Yan Zhi a long time to understand what she was saying.

"Who...are you?"

Yan Zhi looked at her in disbelief, "You don't recognize me?"

Nian Nian, lying on the bed, was being stared at by everyone. Perhaps feeling the pressure, she suddenly burst into tears.

"I want to go home! I want to go home! I want my mom and dad!"

Gu Yunmo pressed down on her wildly waving hand, almost breaking the IV tube.

He got up and pressed the call button by the bedside.

Soon, the doctor came in to check on her condition.

Niannian shrank back in fear, "I don't want to! I don't want a shot! Shots hurt! I don't want a shot!"

The doctor patiently coaxed her, "Sweetie, I'm just here to take your temperature."

Niannian asked, "Wh-what is body temperature?"

The ward suddenly fell silent. Logically speaking, Niannian was a smart child before she got sick, and at almost six years old, she should have known these common sense things.

At this moment, she behaved like a child with intellectual disabilities who had not received any education or guidance.

However, before they were mentally prepared to accept this, an even more astonishing scene unfolded next.

All that could be seen was a wet patch on Niannian's lower body, and it seemed to be spreading.

The white sheets were instantly soaked, but she seemed oblivious, her eyes glazed over as she bit her fingers.

Seeing this, Yan Zhi's heart twisted in pain. She didn't let the doctor examine Niannian anymore, but calmly said, "You can all go out now."

Everyone knew she was going to change Niannian's pants, so Gu Yunmo, not wanting to get involved, went out first.

Inside the ward, Yan Zhi opened the wardrobe, smiled, and asked Niannian.

"How about Auntie gets you some nicer pants? Which one do you like?"

This approach works on Niannian. If you directly ask her if she wants to change her pants, she will definitely refuse.

But if you give her the choice, she will become very interested.

Yan Zhi showed her two pairs of pants, and Niannian happily pointed to a pink pair.

"I want to wear this!"

Yan Zhi feigned surprise and said, "You think the same thing as me! I also think this one looks great!"

Niannian clapped her hands happily.

Yan Zhi patiently asked again, "Do you want to put it on yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

Niannian pointed at herself, repeating, "Myself! Myself!"

"good!"

Yan Zhi turned around, covered her eyes, and deliberately provoked her competitive spirit, "Will I be able to put it on or not? I'm so curious, will I already be dressed when I turn around?"

"Okay!"

Yan Zhi turned around, and sure enough, Niannian had already put her pants on.

Yan Zhi was very supportive and immediately clapped her hands in praise, "How did you do so well?"

Niannian proudly said, "My mother taught me!"

"Wow~ Can you teach me after you get off the bus~"

"Okay!" Niannian nodded seriously. She sat on the bed and folded the pants she had taken off. "Aunt Xiaozhi, my pants are wet."

Yan Zhi was surprised that Niannian could still recognize her as Aunt Xiao Zhi.

"Leave it to Aunt Xiaozhi, she'll wash it clean for you."

"Um!"

......

After Niannian woke up, Gu Yunmo also had a private talk with her.

Sometimes she speaks unclearly, and sometimes her memory is confused.

One minute she calls him Uncle Gu Yunmo, the next she calls him Dad.

The doctor's initial diagnosis was that Nian Nian suffered brain damage. Although her fever had subsided, the damage was irreversible.

That same evening, Niannian's parents rushed over from Shenzhen.

In fact, they knew about Niannian's accident from the very first day, but they didn't expect her condition to be so serious, so they didn't come over immediately.

But now, seeing Niannian with her own eyes, and seeing her daughter whom she had raised for five years suddenly become dull and stupid, even having difficulty speaking, Mrs. Zhou completely broke down.

"How could this happen! What did you do to my Nian Nian?!"

She was pregnant, and when she cried, no one could help but worry about her.

Yan Zhi lowered her head and admitted her mistake, accepting the beating and scolding, because it was indeed her oversight.

"sorry."

"What's the use of saying sorry! Will saying sorry turn my daughter back to normal?!"

Yan Zhi raised her head. "From now on, I will try my best to find a way to help Niannian. I'm really sorry, I never expected things to turn out this way."

Mrs. Zhou was helped to sit down. She almost had a miscarriage and it took her a long time to catch her breath.

"Even if Niannian isn't your biological daughter, you can't just ignore her like this!"

Yan Zhi said, "We absolutely did not ignore her!"

"Why would she leave alone out of the blue? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll kill myself right here!"

A reasonable explanation... Yan Zhi also wanted to know a reasonable explanation.

She didn't understand why Niannian had to leave secretly.

If you want to go back to Shenzhen, you can just tell her directly.

"My wife and I have been doing our best to take care of her during this time. If she has any complaints about us, we will definitely change them as soon as we find out."

Gu Yunmo interrupted her thoughts. He stood next to Yan Zhi and hadn't said a word since then. Although he didn't make a sound, his presence was very strong.

"We will take full responsibility for Niannian's matter. Whether you want to take the child away or leave her, I will respect your decision."

Mrs. Zhou was heartbroken and pregnant, so she couldn't be polite to Gu Yunmo at the moment.

"Are you trying to send the child back to us? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?!"

Gu Yunmo retorted, "What responsibility do we have? Niannian is not our biological child, and we haven't gone through any adoption procedures."

"What's more, her parents didn't value her at all, but now that something's happened, they're starting to say how much they love her?"

The Zhou couple felt ashamed upon hearing this, as they knew they were not qualified parents either.

In the Zhou family, aside from having more children to please Old Master Zhou, they have no real power.

In fact, to Old Master Zhou, he and his wife were nothing more than dispensable figures in the Zhou family.

That's why Mrs. Zhou's purpose in this trip was not to bring the person back to Shenzhen.

They came to say their final goodbyes to Niannian.

As long as Gu Yunmo says he'll take responsibility, Nian Nian will have a life of luxury for the rest of her life. Even if things get tough, they won't be too bad. If she goes back to Shenzhen, she'll have to share everything with others, she won't get a whole cake, and she won't have any toys that are truly her own.

But now Gu Yunmo can give it all to her, right?

Mrs. Zhou was relieved.

"Since things have come to this, I now demand that Yan Zhi quit her job and stay home full-time to take care of my daughter. Otherwise, I will sue you for attempted murder!"
