Chapter 19
Lin Lanfang sneered. âThis is your upbringing, no manners at all. Even the homeless people on the street are more refined than you!â
Gu Wanâan didnât react in the slightest, painlessly, as if she didnât hear it at all.
On the contrary, Gu Baiping couldnât sit still. She wanted to get up, but just as she moved a little, she was held down by Gu Wanâan. âBe good and sit still. Drink the chicken soup first. Otherwise, it will get cold later.â
As she spoke, she didnât stay idle either. She fed her spoonful after spoonful of chicken soup.
Lin Lanfang was treated like air. She was completely ignored, but she couldnât leave.
Her face was livid.
After drinking the chicken soup, Gu Wanâan wiped the corner of Gu Baipingâs mouth with a towel, and then her gaze fell on Lin Lanfang.
âA check for half a million. The password is my birthday.â Lin Lanfang placed the check on the table.
Gu Baiping was embarrassed. âI donât need it. You should take it back. Thank you for coming to see me today.â
Lin Lanfang rolled her eyes impatiently. âYou havenât improved at all. Youâre just like before, hypocritical and noble.â
Gu Baiping felt humiliated and her body trembled with anger.
Gu Wanâan looked up and slammed the glass of water on the table with a loud bang.
Lin Lanfang and Gu Baiping looked over at once.
Gu Wanâan leaned her back against the wall and looked at Lin Lanfang coldly. She said expressionlessly, âA slip of the hand.â
Lin Lanfang shuddered for a moment before she regained her composure, suppressing the impatience and emotions in her heart.
She took Gu Baipingâs hand and put the check in her palm, smiling hypocritically. âAll these years, itâs all thanks to you that Wanâan could grow up. You have to keep this money.â
Gu Wanâan raised her eyebrows. She finally saw what it meant for someone to turn on a sixpence.
âAnan is obedient and well-behaved. She is also good at taking care of others. I didnât waste my time.â Gu Baiping was surprised and flattered. She shook her head and continued, âIâm willing to take care of Anan. Iâm not selling the child. I really canât take the money! â
âThen just take it as a loan. Write an IOU and pay it back later.â
Gu Baiping hesitated for a long time before nodding.
After writing the IOU, Lin Lanfang turned around and left impatiently as if she was avoiding the plague.
âAnan, your mother still has you in her heart after all. Itâs said that a child is a piece of flesh that falls from the motherâs body. How can she not have feelings for you? She has changed a lot over the years.â Gu Baiping retracted her gaze and turned to Gu Wanâan.
âHm.â
Gu Wanâan hummed nonchalantly.
Shen Ziqing was the piece of flesh that fell from Lin Lanfangâs body. At most, she would be a tumor. A malignant one!
âSigh, Iâm the disappointed one. I canât even go to your wedding with Ziâan.â Thinking of the wedding, Gu Baiping felt extremely regretful.
Gu Wanâanâs heart tightened. She didnât say a word, hiding the low emotions in her eyes.
âIn a couple of days, bring Ziâan over, itâs been a long time since Iâve seen him, and I kinda miss him.â
Gu Wanâanâs scalp tingled as she rambled on, âHeâs been busy recently. He went overseas on a business trip.â
âThen wait for him to come back from his business trip.â
âOkay, weâll talk about it later. Iâm a little busy now. I have to go to my part-time job.â
The words fell, and without waiting for Gu Baiping to say anything, she quickly left the ward.
It was not until she left the hospital that Gu Wanâan tense mind finally relaxed. She held her forehead with her hand as she felt a headache.
Soldiers come, a general stops them. Water floods, the earth stems it. She will take one step at a time.
At six oâclock, the taxi arrived at the Greenfield Bar.
After paying, Gu Wanâan entered the bar.
The rich and exciting nightlife had just begun, and she walked around the brightly lit lobby and went straight to the waitersâ breakroom.
