Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

Xia Jinting: "You don't need to lie to me anymore, I know that I am seriously ill and will die soon. After I leave, don't miss me too much..."

Gu Que couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Xia Jinting's words.

Gu Que: "Who said you were seriously ill?"

Xia Jinting: "I heard what the doctor said to you. I know that there is not much time left. I am not afraid of death, but I am reluctant to part with you."

Xia Jinting didn't care about the three sevens and twenty ones, and said all the tiresome and crooked things that he hadn't said before.

Gu Que raised his forehead, and finally knew the reason for Xia Jinting's abnormality. He smiled and said: "The doctor is not talking about you, but my adoptive mother." In one sentence, Xia Jinting's voice was instantly silenced.

After Tan Min's accident, Gu Que took care of Tan's mother.

She is suffering from lung disease, which is terminally ill and cannot be cured, and is now living in the hospital.

Gu Que hired someone to take care of her, and this time he brought Xia Jinting to the neighboring city to visit Tan's mother.

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Xia Jinting buried his head in the quilt like an ostrich, no matter how coaxed by Gu Que, he refused to raise his head.

So embarrassing.

Some words, Xia Jinting thought that if he didn’t say anything, he would have no chance to say it, so he took the initiative to say it, and when he learned the truth, he remembered his own performance just now...

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Gu Que looked at the person who was wrapping himself in a ball with the quilt, pulled him out, and embraced him: "I just realized that you are so reluctant to part with me."

Xia Jinting: "..."

Gu Que: "I understand your heart."

Xia Jinting: "..."

Gu Que: "I like it too..."

Xia Jinting: "...shut up!"

---------------

Early the next morning, Xia Jinting followed Gu Que to the hospital to visit Tan's mother.

This is a private hospital similar to a sanatorium. It covers a large area, and the environment in the hospital is excellent, surrounded by trees.

The nurse on duty led the two to the ward: "Mrs. Tan just woke up, you can go in."

The single ward is clean and tidy, and the white walls make the ward look very deserted.

Gu Que placed the bouquet he brought on the bedside, and called softly, "Mother, I'm here to see you."

The woman on the hospital bed with her eyes slightly closed opened her eyes as if she had sensed something. The moment she saw Gu Que, she was surprised: "Why are you here? How is Erlang?"

The Erlang in Tan's mother's mouth is Tan Min.When Tan Min was mentioned, there was a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Gu Que: "He..." Thinking of Tan Min's recent situation, Gu Que was momentarily at a loss for words, and suddenly didn't know what to say.Tan Min is Tan's mother's own flesh and blood, Gu Que looked at the woman with a sick face, but could not say the phrase "go to jail".

Mother Tan closed her eyes: "I know even if you don't tell me, he made a mistake and was arrested, right?"

Gu Que: "How...how did you know?"

Tan's mother: "Before he had an accident, he asked the nurse to bring me a message, saying that he was sorry for me, and asked me to take good care of my body..."

Gu Que suddenly didn't know what to say.

He is grateful for Tan's mother's kindness in nurturing him. If the Tan family hadn't adopted him back then, he would have lived on the street and starved to death.

So the last thing he wanted was for him to fight Brother Tan Min.

Unfortunately, Tan Min stood on the opposite side of him.

Mother Tan looked at Gu Que with flickering eyes, and stretched out her thin arms: "Da Lang, listen to me, Er Lang is innocent, please let him go."

Hearing this familiar title, Gu Que felt sad for a while.

In the past, Mother Tan always called them Dalang and Erlang. As Dalang, Gu Que always felt that he had the responsibility to take care of the younger brother, but in the end he became like this.

Unlike Gu Que's sadness, Xia Jinting has no feelings for Tan's mother. His calmness and reason allow him to observe everything in front of him more objectively.

Tan's mother's request seemed absurd to Xia Jinting.

She opened her mouth and said that the youngest son was innocent, but let the eldest son be wronged.

Why!

Xia Jinting quietly squeezed Gu Que's hand to express comfort.

Gu Que lowered his eyes: "Mother, it's not that I don't let him go, but he doesn't let go of himself. If he didn't do those things, he wouldn't be where he is today."

Tan's mother was anxious: "I beg you, young people will inevitably make mistakes, you give him another chance."

Gu Que: "The law is ruthless, and no favoritism is allowed."

Tan's mother: "Gu Que, he is my only son, you can't do this, you are the Gu family, if you move the Gu family out, the police will definitely listen to you!"

Gu Que frowned: "Mother, I can't do this!"

Mother Tan looked at Gu Que with cold eyes: "You don't even listen to my words."

Gu Que was silent.

Xia Jinting couldn't listen anymore, he felt sorry for Gu Que's situation: "Mrs. Tan, your biological son pointed a gun at Gu Que's head, and almost missed the gun."

Mother Tan's expression changed drastically: "What, what?!"

Xia Jinting: "He has repeatedly entrapped Gu Que and leaked commercial secrets, all of which are good things he did!"

Gu Que: "Stop talking..."

No one had ever told Mother Tan about these things. She looked at Gu Que with a guilty face, but kept begging for mercy in her mouth.

After all, there is still a difference between closeness and distance, Xia Jinting sighed and stopped talking.

Tan's mother's attitude towards Gu Que is not like a mother towards a child, but rather like a servant towards a young master. She speaks cautiously and always secretly looks at Gu Que's face.

The three of them talked for a while, and Mother Tan became tired.

Gu Que waited for her to rest, and asked the nurse about Tan's mother's condition.

The nurse didn't recognize Gu Que, and said with a smile, "You are the Mr. Tan that patients always talk about. She misses you very much and always talks about you."

Gu Que shook his head: "My surname is Gu."

The nurse was stunned: "Mr. Gu, I haven't heard her mention it before. This old lady, she never leaves her son with three words on weekdays, saying that her son will be promising in Haicheng..."

Gu Que was silent.

The two walked out of the hospital gate, Xia Jinting asked Gu Que: "What are you going to do?"

Mother Tan's pleading words are still in his ears, Xia Jinting is afraid that Gu Que will soften his heart.

Gu Que didn't answer, he was very confused.

Tan's mother has been kind to him in nurturing him, and he has never refused her request, but Tan Min's crime is indeed unforgivable.

Gu Que: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Xia Jinting: "Let them meet their mother and son, and then deal with Tan Min according to the law. There will be a price to pay for everything, and it doesn't matter whoever intercedes..."

Under Xia Jinting's comfort, Gu Que felt a little better.

He led Xia Jinting back to the neighborhood where he lived in childhood, looking for traces of the old days.

Gu Que suffered from a serious illness when he was young and had a high fever. When he woke up, he saw the Tan family who adopted him.

Gu Que knew that he was an adopted son, so he tried his best to be well-behaved and sensible, and knew how to help at a young age.

The children in the same neighborhood are all skin monkeys, but Gu Que's clothes are clean every day.He has always known that he is just an adopted son and has no willful capital.

Tan Min was very clingy and naughty to Gu Que when he was young, and when he made a mistake, he always blamed it on Gu Que.

"I remember one time, he climbed a tree and fell all over in the mud. He insisted that I provoked him." Gu Que pointed to the old tree in front of the old house.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Xia Jinting asked enthusiastically.

"Of course both of them were punished." Gu Que sat casually on the mound of soil in front of the door, raised his hand to pick up a light yellow fallen flower: "For you."

Xia Jinting also sat down beside him, playing with Xiaohua in his hands, listening to Gu Que tell those interesting things about the past, it was like seeing it with his own eyes.

Today, in the streets and alleys of the old residence, there are not many old people left.

Gu Que and Xia Jinting's clothes were too eye-catching, and they sat there, attracting many people to look at them furtively.

An old man with a basket on his shoulders passed by them, his cloudy eyes kept staring at Gu Que.

She obviously went far away, but she went back again: "I'm confused, you...are you the boss of the Tan family?"

Gu Que was startled, and after a closer look, he recognized the person: "Are you Aunt Dong?"

Aunt Dong was a well-known beauty when she was young. She was a good cook of tofu, and her voice was as clear as an oriole. Gu Que often went to her shop to buy tofu.

Time has passed, and the old Tan family has turned into Gu Sanye, who everyone respects, and Aunt Dong, who sold tofu back then, is also very old.

Aunt Dong was pleasantly surprised: "It's really you? When you were picked up by the Gu family, you were still a child. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Seeing Gu Que sitting in front of the Tan family's old house, Aunt Dong was surprised and said, "You've gone back home, what are you doing here?"

Gu Que: "I'm here to visit my adoptive mother."

Aunt Dong: "You actually made a special trip to visit the Tan family?"

Seeing that Aunt Dong's attitude was different, Gu Que didn't understand, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Dong: "Back when the Tan family kidnapped you, you didn't resent them at all?"

Gu Que was stunned.

He tried his best to digest every word Aunt Dong said, what does it mean "the Tan family abducted him"?

Gu Que: "As far as I know, I was adopted by the Tan family?"

Aunt Dong: "That's what they lied to you. Back then, the Tan family couldn't have a child, so they made up their minds to abduct other children's children. When you were brought back, you were seriously ill. After waking up Forgot all about the previous things, to avoid your suspicion, the Tan family simply lied to you that you were adopted, but in fact they were the ones who abducted you."

Both Gu Que and Xia Jinting were stunned by this inside story.

Aunt Dong: "It's probably because you were unlucky. Not long after you were brought back, the couple became pregnant, and that's how Tan Erlang was born. I was also thinking about how the Gu family didn't deal with the Tan family after you were taken back. It turns out that the Gu family was also kept in the dark, treating the Tan family as a lifesaver."

Gu Que: "Aunt Dong, you can't talk nonsense about this."

Aunt Dong's eyes widened: "I'm not talking nonsense, you were brought back that day with a persistent high fever, and I helped you cook the medicine!"

Gu Que was speechless. All these years, he had always regarded the Tan family as his savior, but he did not expect that the Tan family was the culprit who abducted him.

In vain he still mistakenly regards the wicked as a benefactor, and has been grateful for so many years.

Xia Jinting looked at Gu Que's gloomy face, and hugged him: "It's okay, don't be sad..."

Gu Que put his chin against Xia Jinting's shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.
