Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1234: I’d Do Anything for You (9)

Worried that she might suffer severe mental anguish affecting her health, after all, the one involved was her closest friend, Ou Yanan placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

From the other side of the guest room door, there was a knock, thump thump, thump thump.

Ou Yanan turned around, put down the teapot, and walked over to open the door.

After the door opened, an elderly man walked into the room.

Gu Nuan stood up from the sofa and softly called, "Grandpa Zhong—"

Upon hearing her voice, the suddenly visiting old Mr. Zhong appeared somewhat surprised, "You know me?"

"I’ve heard Qiaohui talk about her grandfather, and your name is already well-known in the circle," Gu Nuan said.

Old Mr. Zhong, evidently not expecting this answer, nodded appreciatively, "Qiaohui said you’re no ordinary person, and it seems she was right." In other words, even with the reason Gu Nuan gave earlier, the fact that she could recognize him at first sight was indeed not something an average person could do. The remarkable ability of Gu Jinrong was apparent.

Gu Nuan invited the old man to sit.

The old man did not sit down, his face full of worry.

Through the news, Gu Nuan knew that Zhong Qiaohui was not aware, but what had happened to her and what kind of shock she had experienced could not be learned from the media. The Zhong Family, in their efforts to protect this granddaughter, definitely would not disclose such privacy.

"Qiaohui, she—" the old man said with difficulty, glancing at Ou Yanan beside her, "And this person is—"

"Dr. Ou," said Gu Nuan.

"Oh, Qiaohui mentioned him, a highly skilled doctor by your side."

The old man clearly misunderstood, thinking he was Tang Sili. Ou Yanan was about to explain, but Gu Nuan already shook her head and said to the old man, "Only the person who ties the bell can untie it. Doctors are of no use at this time."

Old Mr. Zhong’s eyes sparkled. It seems this woman is very clever, just like the legends say, full of great wisdom. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Yes, you’re right, I shouldn’t have come here to find you, I should go find Zhang San." As he spoke, the old man put on his little hat.

Gu Nuan escorted him to the door, saying forcefully, "If there’s anything I can help with, don’t hesitate to let me know."

The Zhong family may not lack much, their family wealth is not necessarily much less than that of the Xiao family. However, the old man was clearly moved by Gu Nuan’s words, saying, "Very well, Qiaohui having a friend like you is indeed a blessing in her life. Of course, Zhang San is also—"

Mentioning Zhang San constantly, it seems that in old Mr. Zhong’s heart, the potential grandson-in-law was actually Zhang Sanfeng. But given the current situation, no matter how capable the old man is, he cannot make choices for his own descendants.

Zhong Qiaohui was not actually in the hospital; she was taken directly back to the Zhong family by the police. Although she was supposed to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family after the wedding was completed today, under these circumstances, it is unlikely that the Zhang family would accept her.

What everyone probably most wants to know is how Zhang Yingxi encountered danger and perished, and the only one who knows the truth is Zhong Qiaohui, for she was the last person with Zhang Yingxi at the final moment.

For this reason, upon knowing she was back, Zhang’s mother came running, staying at her door shouting, "How did my son die? Tell me. Who killed him, tell me, tell me! Did he say anything to you!"

The Zhong family feared it would further distress their daughter and urged Zhang’s mother to leave.

But Zhang’s mother certainly wouldn’t leave, yelling at the door, "Why hasn’t she spoken a single word since coming back! Is she worthy of my son?! My son is dead!"

Yes, he was dead, dead—Zhong Qiaohui lay on the bed, her eyes moving like those of a dead fish. Besides her, it seemed no one knew how he died. And to mention, if it weren’t for her saying she wanted to watch the stars, he wouldn’t have died, would he?

He said he would do anything for her.

As a result, he really died for her.

A tear rolled down her cheek, and seeing this, Zhong’s mother hurriedly bent down to comfort her.

Zhong Qiaohui murmured, two words: It’s over—

Now it’s all over, she can no longer give her heart to that cripple.

The wind rattled the windows as Gu Nuan rose to close them. Earlier, she coaxed Ou Yanan to rest first. Thinking it was late, Ou Yanan, seeing she was indeed going to bed, went back to the adjacent guest room.

But her mind was in chaos, unprecedented chaos, how could she sleep like this? As long as she thought of Zhong Qiaohui’s current mood, she was at a loss.

A figure jumped into the hotel guest room balcony, grabbing her hand before she could shut the window.

Gu Nuan, startled, after determining whose hand it was, helplessly pulled a corner of her mouth. In fact, she had seen him at the wedding. Kids have sharp eyes, but it doesn’t mean she’s a clueless mother.

Xiao Yebai wrapped her in his large hand, feeling her hand slightly cold, he said, "I’ve never seen you like this. Aren’t you about to cry?"
