The little maidservant next to her ran out in a hurry, and kept shouting: "Madam, Madam, the young lady is awake!"
"Miss? Who is she talking about?" Gu Niannian was wondering! A beautiful young woman in a dark skirt walked in quickly.
Gu Niannian didn't have time to wonder. The moment she saw the young woman, her voice choked with sobs as she cried out, "Mom, I miss you so much!"
She didn't care whether it was a dream or reality. Before the young woman reached her bedside, she stood up, ignoring the dizziness, and rushed over to hug tightly the mother she had been thinking about day and night.
"This is her mother, the one who fans her on summer nights and warms her hands in winter.
The young woman was stunned for a moment as her daughter held her. Then she helped Gu Niannian back to the bed and sat down. She reached out and touched Gu Niannian's forehead. It didn't feel hot anymore. She let out a long sigh and said, "The fever should be gone!"
She turned around and told her maid Hehua: "Quickly ask Doctor Hu to come and check Nian'er's pulse to see if she is better."
After giving the order, she turned around and saw her daughter staring at her with wide eyes. She remembered what she had called her just now. She gently put her daughter back on the bed and asked, "Nian'er, what did you call mother just now?"
"Mom" Gu Niannian blurted out. She thought she was dreaming and didn't dare to blink, for fear that her mother would disappear the moment she blinked.
Mrs. Gu Bai was even more confused: "What does this mean?"
Gu Niannian: "That's what my mother meant."
Bai Shi didn't ask any further questions, and simply instructed He Ye: "Tell the master that the young lady has woken up."
After He Ye left, Gu Niannian asked, "Father?"
Bai just said "hmm" softly.
Gu Niannian had no impression of his father. He had hardly seen his father in modern times. He had been working outside and rarely came back during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. Later, when he heard that he had started a new family and had a son, his mother divorced him.
She really had no feelings for this so-called father, and she was not very sad. It was just that occasionally she would hear her mother crying secretly at night, and she would feel distressed. She felt sorry for her mother who had to endure and pretend to be happy during the day for her sake. This made her feel a little hatred for her father, which she originally had no feelings for.
Of course, I am more angry with myself. I hate myself for growing so slowly and not being able to do anything. I am still a burden to my mother.
All she could do was study harder and do most of the housework. Despite the hardships, the mother and daughter lived happily. After entering high school, the school was about 10 kilometers away, making it impossible to go back every day. Add to that the heavy workload and the added pressure, and she had no choice but to live on campus.
Her mother was hit by a car on the way to buy groceries. She was no longer breathing when she was sent to the hospital. After receiving the call, Gu Niannian rushed back desperately, but she could only see a cold corpse.
It turns out that people can no longer cry when they are most sad. Her heart was very sad and she felt torn apart.
The person who came with her was her head teacher, who had just graduated three years ago. Because he came from a prestigious school and had strong teaching ability, he became the head teacher of the school's key class in just two years. He was just asked to comfort people. Faced with such a scene, he really didn't know what to say. Of course, no matter what he said now, it would seem pale.
He could only help run errands and pay the bills. After completing all the formalities, he returned to the ward.
All I saw was Gu Niannian standing blankly beside the bed, staring at her mother on the bed without blinking.
She would be alone from now on. She felt so bad. How could it become like this? Her tears fell drop by drop on the floor tiles.
Gu Mansion
"Madam, is Nian'er awake? Has the doctor come to see him?"
Gu Bole, who was over thirty but still looked like a handsome gentleman, came in wearing a long silk gown and asked
"I went to call the doctor, he should be on his way now," Bai replied.
"This is her cheap dad. To be honest, she would rather not have such a father." Gu Niannian looked up and down at her so-called father, searching her mind for memories of the man in front of her.
"This face is really useful for flirting with guys." Thinking of this, Gu Niannian really couldn't feel any good impression of him.
Seeing that her daughter looked a little pale again, Mrs. Bai thought she was feeling unwell and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell again?"
Before Gu Niannian could answer
At this time, He Hua ran over hurriedly, holding up her skirt and said, "Madam, Doctor Hu is here."
A man in his fifties with a goatee was following behind, carrying a medicine box. He gasped and said, "You can run too fast, girl! My old bones are almost falling apart from running!"
When Mrs. Bai heard that Doctor Hu had arrived, she quickly lowered the bed curtains and said anxiously, "Doctor Hu, please forgive us, we are also very worried. Come and take a look! How is Nian'er?"
Doctor Hu was a doctor often invited by the Gu family. He knew Bai's character and was so anxious because of Miss Gu's illness. Besides, doctors have a kind heart, so he walked to the bedside in three steps and asked Bai to make way for him.
Doctor Hu sat on the stool beside the bed and said, "Stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse."
Gu Niannian obediently stretched her hand out from behind the bed curtain, but her eyes were still looking at Bai through the curtain.
Doctor Hu looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Is everything alright? He clearly had heart problems before, but now his pulse is perfectly normal, just like a normal person. How strange!"
Seeing the doctor's puzzled expression, Mrs. Bai thought her daughter was in trouble and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, doctor? How is Nian'er?"
Doctor Hu stroked his goatee and said earnestly, "Master, Madam, don't worry. Miss Gu's illness has been cured. It's a miracle."
"I'll prescribe some more heart-nourishing medicine. Take it daily and you'll be fine." Doctor Hu said as he took out a pen and paper from the medicine box and wrote down the prescription. Bai took the paper and handed it to Hehua.
Hehua took the prescription, took out the silver and handed it to the lady. Bai then handed the money to Doctor Hu, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I miss your kindness."
Doctor Hu declined for a moment but then accepted it. After sending Doctor Hu away, Bai Shi couldn't suppress her excitement and walked up to her husband: "Master, did you hear that? Nian'er is well again and will no longer be in danger of death."
"I heard it. I'm not deaf. I can pick a better one this time," Gu Bole said impatiently.
The Gu family is a wealthy family in the Jiangnan area. They are not the best, but they are better than the worst and somewhere in between.
Although Gu Bole was a playboy and brought many beautiful concubines into his house, he had one good point: he was quite capable in business. Before he married Bai, his family was a farming family that made a living by working in the fields for the gang leader's family.
Bai Qiu is the only daughter of the Bai family. Gu Bole won the favor of Bai Qiu with his good looks and sweet talk. The Bai family has only one daughter and she has only one request, which is that she must marry into the Bai family, which is the so-called marriage into the wife's family. As long as he agrees, the Bai family will be his in the future.
Gu Bole went back to discuss it with his parents. The Gu family had more than one son, and they also had a younger son. If the eldest son could enjoy such good fortune, they could also benefit from it, so they agreed. It was a sure win, and he would be a fool not to agree.
After marrying into the Bai family, he was also hardworking and diligent, starting from learning to read and write to gradually getting involved in the business, and he did it quite well. Later, when Gu Niannian and her twin brother Gu Rujun were born, they still had the surname Bai. However, two years later, Bai Qiu's parents passed away one after another, and the industry was gradually managed by Gu Bole alone.
His indifference towards Bai Shi gradually became apparent, and beautiful concubines were brought into the mansion one after another. The excuse was that Bai Shi's Bai Qiu was injured after giving birth to twins, and for the sake of Bai Shi, they found someone to give birth to more children for the Bai family. When these words came out, coupled with Gu Bole's usual love for his wife, everyone praised Gu Bole for his magnanimity and being a model husband!
Bai Qiu herself had given birth to twins but had never gotten pregnant. She also thought that she had injured her body. In addition, when the twins were three years old, the doctor diagnosed her with heart disease and said that she would not live past the age of twenty. She was her parents' only daughter, and she did not want to end her family line with her, so she believed Gu Bole's sweet words. When Gu Bole suggested that her parents and brothers who were not well fed and clothed outside could reunite at home, she nodded for some unknown reason.
In fact, she had no choice but to nod. Now the Bai family was basically in his hands. From a farmer to a wealthy merchant, it was the result of Gu Bole's careful planning.
This directly led to the Bai family changing their surname to the Gu family, and Bai Rujun and Bai Niannian also changed their surnames to Gu Rujun and Gu Niannian.
