The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

The other party only wanted him to go. Ah Zhong looked at Gu Cheng on the bed, his eyes darkened, and after considering it for a moment, he made a decision. He told the others to watch over Gu Cheng while he went out.

No sooner had Ah Zhong left than Yun Huan arrived at Gu Cheng's hospital room.

The bodyguards at the door blocked her from entering. Ah Zhong had specifically instructed them before he left not to let anyone in, in case anyone harmed Gu Cheng.

"Are you blind? You even dare to block me! I am Gu Yunhuan. Do I need your permission to come see my father? You are all ignorant fools." After saying that, she pulled them away.

When the two bodyguards saw that it really was Gu Yunhuan, the second daughter of the Gu family, they couldn't very well stop her from coming in. The key point was that they had no right to stop their daughter from visiting her father. Besides, Ah Zhong wasn't there either, so they had no right to object. They were sent by Ming Kun, so in a way, they were the outsiders.

After Yun Huan entered, she patted her chest. Thank goodness, they almost wouldn't let her in. After the initial panic, she felt a surge of joy. She immediately spotted Gu Cheng on the hospital bed, his head covered, probably asleep. She had to act quickly.

She walked to the bedside and turned off all the medical equipment. She was just about to decide whether to do as Gao Yao suggested and stab Gu Jia twice to eliminate any future trouble. But no matter how bad he was, he was still her father, and her hand trembled slightly as she held the knife. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. Startled, Yun Huan quickly put away the knife and hurriedly went out, afraid of being discovered.

On the other side, Ah Zhong went to the location Gao Yao had given him, but didn't see anyone. After thinking about it, he wondered if he had been tricked, so he immediately called Yun Le.

When Yunle answered the phone, she said she was fine and at work. Ah Zhong then realized he'd been tricked! Oh no! Gu Cheng was in danger; he had to go back immediately.

When Gu Cheng returned home, she was stunned when she pulled back his blanket...

Yun Shu was still waiting for Xiao Qiu to come out of the operating room.

After the operating room lights went out, all the other nurses left, except for Mingyuan, who remained inside. Xu Ruo knew something was wrong and rushed in.

"Mingyuan, how is Xiaoqiu?" Xu Ruo looked at Mingyuan's dejected expression and knew that Xiaoqiu was probably in grave danger.

"Brother, if my parents weren't so terrible... I'm just an ordinary family's... daughter, would my life be better... Heh..."

Mingyuan didn't speak, his eyes reddening, because he knew better than anyone that Xiaoqiu was dying!

"It's alright, get well soon, your sister-in-law and I will definitely take good care of you!"

"If only you weren't my brother... I always thought about finding a man like you, but the men I've found... cough cough... one after another are worse than the last... I have only myself to blame, maybe death will bring me relief... If there is an afterlife, I don't want to meet you again..." Xiao Qiu said intermittently.

Because this wonderful man is actually her brother! She can neither love him nor rely on him. She seems to see the scene of her first meeting with Mingyuan. He sits in a luxury car, with a cold and aloof demeanor, but that's what makes him so attractive. When she later discovers that he is her brother, she cries for days. All the boyfriends she dates afterward are tall and handsome, but good-looking men are rarely good men. They either cheat her out of money or take advantage of her. What's worse is Gao Yao. She ignored Mingyuan's advice and insisted on being with him, but this is how she ended up.

“Are you crazy? You’re perfectly fine. What’s with all this talk about the next life? Look, your sister-in-law is here too. We all care about you! Once you get better, we’ll all treat you well!” Mingyuan said, choking back tears.

Xu Ruo held Xiao Qiu's hand and said, "When you get better, we'll move into my house together. You're not envious of my family's wealth, are you? I've always lived the life of a pampered young lady. As long as you get better, you can be like me too. As for wanting a good man, that's easy. We'll organize a city-wide matchmaking event, and you can choose whatever you want..." Xu Ruo was also feeling bad.

I usually find this woman annoying, but she's never actually done anything to harm the couple, and if it weren't for her, Ashu might have been killed. Besides, she's a pitiful woman. With her upbringing, her mother, and her constant struggle to survive, refusing help from others, I always thought she had a carefree life. I never imagined she had such a difficult life.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for what I did before!" She sincerely apologized because she used to dislike Xu Ruo, and the two of them would always bicker whenever they met. She also often found fault with Xu Ruo and never treated her as her sister-in-law.

"It's okay, I don't mind at all. You just focus on recovering. From now on, we'll be a real family, and I won't mind Mingyuan being with you..."

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Xiao Qiu's face. "It's too late...too late...If I had turned back earlier, this wouldn't have happened...Brother, thank you for acknowledging me and for helping me so much...Mom...don't tell her...about my...death. I still have...a little money in my account. Give it all to her, as a way of repaying her for raising me. And...if she ever becomes unable to move...please send her to a nursing home. Although...she wasn't a good mother, I don't want...her to die on the streets with no one to bury her..."

“You…” Only now did Mingyuan realize that Xiaoqiu was very kind-hearted, able to forgive even someone like his mother, and even concerned about her being alone and helpless in her old age.

"I promise you, I will arrange everything for her!" she solemnly promised.

"That's good, then I have no more worries... no more worries..." The voice grew softer and softer until the eyes slowly closed.

“Xiao Qiu… wake up… wake up…” Mingyuan cried out.

Even the usually composed Mingyuan's eyes reddened at this moment, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. As a doctor, he had witnessed countless partings and deaths, and thought his heart was numb. But to encounter Xiaoqiu, his sister! So young and gone like this, how could he not be heartbroken!

Xu Ruo was also saddened. She never expected Xiao Qiu to end up like this. She used to find Xiao Qiu's glamorous and exquisite appearance annoying, but it wasn't until she passed away that she truly understood this woman. She knew how much Xiao Qiu longed for family and just wanted to live an ordinary life and have a home. It was just that Xiao Qiu's life was too unfortunate.

As for Mingyuan, Xu Ruo looked at him, heartbroken, and had never seen him so emotional. But this time, she wouldn't be jealous. If Xiao Qiu were still alive, she wouldn't treat her the way she used to. If she cared for her and helped her more, maybe Xiao Qiu wouldn't have given up on herself and been so badly deceived by that scumbag Gao Yao.

"Mingyuan, Xiaoqiu is gone..." she said, then hugged the heartbroken man.

Mingyuan was heartbroken for a long time. He pulled the cloth up to cover Xiaoqiu's face and called for someone to take her to the morgue together. Xu Ruo stayed outside with Yun Shu and the others because she was pregnant.
