Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 469: Has Someone Abused Her?

The next day at dawn, Gu Zheng had already gotten out of bed earlier, looking at the woman beside him who had been with him for many years, he found that he had no warmth for her left in his heart.

When he first met Li Yulan, she was just a student with two braids hanging on her chest. Her pure face wasn’t as stunning as Ning Yue’s mother, but inexplicably aroused a protective instinct in others.

When they first got together, he knew Li Yulan’s sincerity towards him was only a fraction, but what did that matter?

She wanted money, he wanted her—they both got what they wanted, and it didn’t cause conflict.

As time passed, he couldn’t help but develop a few more feelings for this woman.

People say women are made of water and easily moved emotionally; he originally thought Li Yulan was like the other women he had met, until today he realized he was wrong.

Even after having a pair of children for him, Li Yulan’s feelings for him remained as scant as when they first met—just those two parts!

It seems you can’t let a woman live a good life, because given long enough, she will forget who she is!

Li Yulan’s breathing was even and showed no awareness of Gu Zheng staring at her with chilling coldness in his eyes.

After getting dressed, Gu Zheng went downstairs, had breakfast, and drove directly to the hospital.

He had thought through the matter Li Jing spoke about the last time—the nursing home. Instead of having caretakers look after Gu Wanwan in the hospital every day, it might be better to send her to a nursing home—perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope.

Currently, it’s during a turbulent time, and he no longer has much energy to deal with the conflict between Gu Wanwan and the Ye Family.

Having Gu Wanwan go to the nursing home would also save the Ye Family from causing trouble at the hospital and home.

All the way to the hospital ward, the caretaker was feeding porridge to the smiling Gu Wanwan.

These past few days, there has been some slight improvement in Gu Wanwan’s condition, but this improvement merely means she’s not yelling.

"Chairman Gu."

The caretaker heard the sound, turned around and called to Gu Zheng before continuing to feed porridge to Gu Wanwan.

These days, Gu Wanwan seldom eats properly, each time requiring a lot of effort.

Now, she finally settled down to eat something, and the caretaker didn’t dare delay even for a second, fearing that Gu Wanwan might refuse to eat again.

"You go, I’ll do it." Gu Zheng walked to the bedside, took the bowl and spoon from the caretaker, and sat down beside Gu Wanwan’s bed.

Strangely, the moment she saw Gu Zheng, the giggling Gu Wanwan suddenly quieted down, although her drooling continued.

Her eyes just fixed on Gu Zheng, and she didn’t refuse the spoon he offered—obediently, she ate a mouthful of thick, steaming lean meat porridge with preserved egg.

The caretaker secretly admired this, then sensibly withdrew, leaving the space to the father and daughter.

Gradually, the bowl reached its bottom, and Gu Zheng looked at Gu Wanwan, reaching out to wipe the food stains around her mouth: "Wanwan, are you full?"

Gu Wanwan neither nodded nor shook her head, her clear eyes simply looking at him, appearing much prettier than right after the surgery.

Gu Zheng sighed lightly and placed the bowl aside.

As he grabbed a banana, peeled it, and prepared to bring it to Gu Wanwan’s mouth, she suddenly giggled again: "Brother, banana. Brother, eat banana!"

Only then did Gu Zheng suddenly remember that when Gu Heng was young, his favorite fruit was banana.

Every time, Gu Wanwan would deliberately take the last banana to tease him, and each time it made Gu Heng cry.

At that time, they hadn’t moved to the Gu Family with Li Yulan yet.

Their days were hard; even with his monthly allowance, life was still not optimistic.

After all, back then all his money was transparent on the surface, and even if he wanted to subsidize their household, he could only spare a small portion.

And this money was clearly stretching it to support two kids.

Yet at this moment, although Gu Wanwan was mentally unstable, she hadn’t forgotten her brother.

For some reason, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of Li Yulan.

The remaining mother of these two children had ceased to care about their fate, yet they hadn’t forgotten each other.

"Wanwan, eat." Gu Zheng offered the banana to Gu Wanwan, feeling more warmth of familial affection that had not appeared at home with Li Yulan in a long time: "Your brother isn’t here, so Wanwan should eat."

Gu Wanwan bit into the banana following Gu Zheng’s hand, "Mom, I miss my brother."

Gu Zheng froze, "Wanwan, I’m your father."

Although he knew Gu Wanwan was mad now and didn’t recognize people, Li Jing had said it might be possible to recover, and he hoped this possibility would arrive sooner.

Gu Wanwan looked at Gu Zheng, "You’re my father?"

Gu Zheng nodded, "Wanwan doesn’t recognize father anymore?"

Gu Wanwan stared at him blankly, her once-clear eyes becoming muddied again: "No, you’re not my father, my father won’t come to see me anymore."

Gu Zheng paused, asked her twice, but the answer was merely a repetition of that sentence.

With no choice, Gu Zheng continued with her words: "Why doesn’t your father come to see you?"

Gu Wanwan looked at him: "Because I said the wrong thing, my father won’t come to see me anymore, neither will my mother..."

Gu Zheng’s heart skipped; he suddenly recalled that day when Gu Wanwan stood atop the building, and those words she hadn’t let slip.

"What did you say wrong?" Gu Zheng asked.

Gu Wanwan hesitated, her throat moved: "I told my father...that my brother is someone else’s child with no blood relation with him, my father got angry and ignored me, and my mother blamed me..."

Gu Zheng abruptly stood up from the bed: "What did you say?"

Gu Wanwan seemed scared by his sudden movement and immediately curled up in a corner of the bed: "Don’t hit me, I’m wrong, don’t hit me...I won’t dare anymore..."

Gu Zheng quietly watched her on the bed, lips trembling slightly, reached out and pulled her up from the bed: "Wanwan, is what you just said true?"

Faced with his serious eyes, Gu Wanwan reflexively nodded vigorously: "It’s true, all true, don’t hit me... don’t hit me..."

Gu Zheng threw her onto the bed and strode out of the ward.

Just as he reached the elevator, he encountered Li Jing: "Chairman Gu, you came to see Wanwan!"

Gu Zheng looked at Li Jing, whose appearance was gentle and had clear eyes, but his tone was devoid of previous warmth: "Yes!"

Li Jing paused: "What’s wrong with Chairman Gu? Is Wanwan’s condition worsening?"

Standing motionless, Gu Zheng uttered a sentence that shocked Li Jing: "Wanwan just kept calling out not to hit her. What’s happening? Is someone abusing her?"
