Chapter 9

Su Shenglang scoffed. He loosened his tie and raised his hand to make a “stop” gesture. The Su brothers immediately stopped. Su Likai held the steel bar and narrowed his eyes.

When Gu Bensheng felt them stop, he thought that his threat had worked. However, in the next second, a steel bar smashed viciously into his calf!

“Ah!” Gu Bensheng’s screams echoed in the underground parking lot.

Gu Bensheng was hospitalized. Before he could walk out of the hospital, he was carried back on a stretcher. His entire body was covered in injuries. The most infuriating thing was that he did not know who did it. He could not find any information! Not only did the other party not leave any evidence behind, but they also made Gu Bensheng suffer such a huge loss. Gu Bensheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Mu Yu was crying in front of Gu Bensheng’s bed. “Hubby, are you feeling better?” Gu Bensheng didn’t open his eyes. If he opened his eyes, he would definitely see the perfunctory look in Mu Yu’s eyes. Mu Yu was still wearing a hospital gown, and she looked very concerned, but she felt very uneasy. She also heard the news that Gu Ning, that illegitimate child, suddenly became the young miss of the Su Family! When Old Madam Su told her about it yesterday, she had a bad premonition. Of course the miscarriage wasn’t caused by Gu Ning, she fell down herself. The Gu Family was in an economic crisis, and Gu Bensheng was about to go bankrupt. He even borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks. Mu Yu didn’t want to be tied to the Gu Family because of the baby in her stomach. She was so young and beautiful, so she could find someone richer than Gu Bensheng, so she couldn’t keep this child. It would be difficult for her to get married again if she had a child, so she had to abort the baby in her stomach. Hence, that was why there was the show of Gu Ning pushing her down.

Initially, Mu Yu thought that Gu Ning was just a weed without a father and a mother, and the Gu family had never treated her well. When Gu Bensheng was drunk, he even told Mu Yu that Gu Ning was a disgrace to him and wanted her to die as soon as possible. Therefore, she using Gu Ning’s hand to help to abort the baby in her stomach had no risks at all. However, she didn’t expect Gu Ning to have a relationship with the Su family, which was one of the legendary four great families! Mu Yu was scared, and she was afraid that what she did would be exposed. She had to think of a way to prevent Gu Ning from telling the truth…

In the VIP ward, Gu Ning opened her eyes again, but there was no one in the ward. She lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes. So her uncles had left, and they didn’t want her anymore? She felt insecure and curled up into a ball, her small face full of loneliness.

At this moment, the door of the ward creaked, and Su Dingpei walked in lightly. Gu Ning’s eyes lit up again.

Old Master Su felt that having too many people crowded in the hospital room would affect the air quality, so everyone went to the living room outside to rest. As a doctor, Su Dingpei felt that Gu Ning should be waking up around this time, so he came in to check. When he saw Gu Ning with her eyes open on the bed looking at him, he smiled and said softly: “Ningning, are you feeling better now? Little Uncle prepared breakfast for you. Do you want to have a bite?”

Gu Ning nodded.

Su Dingpei immediately got someone to bring breakfast in. The Su family members outside were also woken up by the commotion and surrounded them. Old Master Su asked carefully, “What does Ningning want to eat? There are soup dumplings, custard buns, century egg lean meat porridge, and sweet and sour pork ribs.”

The impatient Su Likai barged in and said, “These things are too light. Ningning, do you want beef noodles? Beef noodles are super delicious!”

Old Master Su hit Su Likai’s calf with his walking stick and reprimanded, “Beef noodles? Ningning hasn’t recovered yet, how can she eat beef noodles!” After saying that, he picked up the century egg and lean meat porridge and handed it over. “Ningning, let’s eat porridge first, okay? This porridge has been brewed for more than two hours. It’s very delicious.”

Su Yueming picked up the custard bun at the side and smiled gently. “Ningning can eat the custard bun too. It’s sweet.”

Gu Ning looked around and for some reason, she felt like crying. Was this family? Did she… really have family now? Gu Ning sniffed and said carefully: “Grandpa… I want porridge.”

The old man’s eyes reddened at once, because of Gu Ning calling him ‘Grandpa,’ and because of Gu Ning’s careful attitude. He wiped his eyes and nodded quickly: “Okay, okay, okay, drink porridge, drink porridge.”
