On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

After Gu Heting finished his conversation with the guests, he called out to the figure who had already reached the door, "Miss Xu, are you leaving?"

Xu Yuan's pretty face flushed, her head buzzed, she quickly took a deep breath and turned around, smiling as usual, "Brother Gu, I have an urgent matter at the lab, I have to go first."

"last night…"

"Nothing happened last night, nothing's between us, you must have misunderstood," Xu Yuan tried to explain, but the more she explained, the more confused she became.

Gu Heting couldn't help but chuckle, gazing at her with eyes as bright as stars. "I meant thank you for taking care of me last night. I heard from my assistant that you took care of me for half an hour."

"Oh! Right." Xu Yuan's face flushed bright red. Sigh! The other person didn't remember at all, so why was she making such a fuss about explaining? It seemed like she was only making things worse.

"I'll visit your lab when I have time, and maybe we can even have a meal together."

"Of course, I'll definitely treat you next time." Xu Yuan was truly relieved that the matter from last night was over.

“Okay, I’ll call a car for you and have someone take you home,” Gu Heting said.

"No need, I can take a taxi myself."

Gu Heting summoned the hotel manager and instructed him to call a car for her to leave, with the hotel covering the fare.

Watching that slender figure leave, Gu Heting's long fingers lightly brushed across his sensual lips. Was he really drunk last night?

No, he's just easily swayed by emotions, so he wasn't so drunk that he forgot everything. It just so happened that the kiss happened when he sobered up.

Just then, a waitress rushed over from the direction of the elevator and said urgently to Gu Heting, "Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu, your father has fainted."

Gu Heting was startled and rushed towards the elevator. When he arrived at Gu Taoyang's room, he saw Su Meifen crying her eyes out, and Gu Taoyang clutching his chest, his face covered in cold sweat, looking like he was about to collapse at any moment.

"Dad, Dad! What's wrong?" Gu Heting rushed over.

Gu Taoyang was about to say something when he suddenly closed his eyes and fainted. Su Meifen looked at Gu Heting with tears in her eyes, "Your dad just said his chest hurt, and he's like this after only a few words. I've already called an ambulance. Quickly carry your dad downstairs!"

Gu Heting reached out and carried his father on his back. Su Meifen and the waiter helped carry Gu Taoyang to the sofa in the lobby. Five minutes later, the ambulance arrived.

Gu Taoyang was put into an ambulance, and Su Meifen and Gu Heting got into the ambulance together.

In the emergency room of the hospital, Gu Taoyang was being treated, and Su Meifen soon learned that Shen Yanchuan and Su Chenxi had arrived.

Su Chenxi was also frightened. Looking at the ice-blue door of the emergency room, tears streamed down her face.

Two hours later, the doctor came out with a serious expression and asked, "Are all the family members here?"

"We're all here, we're family members. Doctor, how is my husband doing?"

"The patient is still in a coma and in shock. We just did some tests and found that the patient has severe myocardial damage, which may have been caused by long-term accumulated lesions."

"Doctor, please give us a rescue plan," Gu Heting said.

"Okay, in addition to that, we also found that the patient has some immune-related conditions. We need to investigate further. Please wait outside. Let's see if we can wake your father up."

The emergency room door closed again, and Su Chenxi leaned against Shen Yanchuan. Everyone's mood was extremely heavy.

Half an hour later, Gu Taoyang was wheeled out. He had regained consciousness, but he looked very weak and was wearing a respirator. Looking at his worried family, he forced a smile and comforted them, "Don't worry."

"Stop talking, get some rest!" Su Meifen cried tears of joy.

They were moved to a private ward, and the attending physician called Gu Heting and Shen Yanchuan over to discuss the next treatment plan.

"We've looked into your father's heart condition, and it's treatable. However, he also suffers from an immune disorder. While the medications available can control it, they can cause significant damage to the patient."

A piece of information flashed through Gu Heting's mind. He remembered that Xu Yuan's research this time included studying biological agents and natural drugs to suppress autoimmune responses, which was the same drug as his father's disease.

"Doctor, are there any natural medicines on the market that can suppress the immune response?"

“I’ve heard that some experts are calling for the development of this drug, but there’s no hope of it being on the market yet. If such a drug were available, the harm to patients could be minimized. Your father’s heart disease is the reason that’s preventing us from using the drug.”

Gu Heting nodded. It seemed that the establishment of Xu Yuan's laboratory was very necessary, and the investment and establishment speed needed to be accelerated.

Back in the ward, Gu Heting told Su Meifen the truth. Su Meifen's tears fell silently. She reached out and held her husband's hand. She didn't want anything to happen to him. She hoped to grow old with him.

"The company I've invested in, Xiuming Pharmaceuticals, has already started researching drugs in this area, and I will urge them to speed things up this time."

In the afternoon, Su Chenxi and Xu Yuan talked about her father's condition. Xu Yuan was also very worried and said she would come to visit him after she finished her work.

"Xiaoyuan, my brother said that your experiment might save my dad."

"Yes, we are still in the experimental stage. I was the one who proposed this plan. Don't worry, Chenxi, I will definitely speed up the experimental process and produce research results as soon as possible. I hope it can help your dad."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyuan."

"This is what I should do."

In the afternoon, Gu Heting drove back to the company for a meeting and immediately signed several cooperation agreements and funding for the laboratory, accelerating its establishment.

Gu Heting drove out, pondered for a moment, and then headed towards Xu Yuan's laboratory.

Xu Yuan also just attended the meeting and heard that the funds from the Gu Group's full investment in them have been allocated. The laboratory is also paying close attention, and the research cannot be stopped, because the Gu Group has a requirement to confirm the launch of a drug as soon as possible.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to return to her dormitory, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Gu Heting calling. She quickly answered, "Hello! Brother Gu."

"Ms. Xu, I'm at the entrance of your lab. Would it be convenient for us to meet?"

"Of course, I'll be right there." After saying that, Xu Yuan quickly ran towards the direction of the laboratory door. In the setting sun, a figure stood there waiting for her. Xu Yuan was running so fast that she lost her balance and fell into his arms.

Gu Heting wrapped his long arm around her waist and steadied her. Xu Yuan looked up and said, "Brother Gu."

Gu Heting took her hand and led her to his car.
