Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 560 It Hurts Here

Lin Qingping lay back on the bed, her mind churning with the sensation of warm liquid flowing into her mouth during her hazy moments.

They had no food or water at that time, and she seemed to understand what she was drinking to keep herself alive.

Gu Juncheng, do you... want me to owe you another lifetime? I thought I had already paid it all back...

More than two months later.

hospital.

In the ward, Gu Juncheng had already packed his things and was ready to be discharged. However, he stood there, carrying his belongings, looking towards the door with a hint of disappointment on his face.

"You've been discharged?" asked a fellow patient's family member.

He turned around and nodded. "Yes."

"Didn't your family come to pick you up?" a fellow patient's family member asked again.

Gu Juncheng: ...

Gu Juncheng's face was stiff. "I won't let them come. It's too much trouble. What am I, a grown man, supposed to do? I can manage myself. They're all busy, some are in school, some are at work..."

He, who was not one for many words, unusually spoke several sentences.

The patient's family member nodded and added, "It would be best if the family could come over when they have some free time, since the injury has just healed and the body is still weak..."

“I’m not weak, how could I be weak…” Gu Juncheng’s face tightened even more. Just then, a loud “Dad!” came from behind him…

Gu Juncheng's tense face visibly relaxed, and his eyes shone with light.

“Lin…” He turned around quickly, but when he saw Zhiyuan and Gu Youlian at the door, the light in his eyes faded again, and the name he hadn’t called out was swallowed back.

Zhiyuan walked up to him and took the things from his hands, but after looking him up and down, he asked, "Dad, why do you seem unhappy to see me?"

Gu Juncheng patted his head and gave him a push, "Aren't you in school? What are you doing here?"

"I've come to pick you up!" Zhiyuan had a look on his face that said, "I took a day off to pick you up, why are you like this?"

"Why would I need you to pick me up? I have hands and feet, can't I go back by myself?" Gu Juncheng frowned.

Zhiyuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Gu Youlian quickly said, "Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking. It's just that you didn't see the person you wanted to see. We're not the ones you were looking for, so we should be the ones to pick you up."

Gu Juncheng's face grew even colder. "Who do I want to pick her up? If she comes, who will take care of Zhangzhu? She can stay with Zhangzhu; why would I need her to pick her up?"

“We didn’t say who you were thinking of…” Zhiyuan muttered to himself.

"you……"

"Alright, alright, stop talking, or you'll get a beating!" Gu Youlian quickly pulled Zhiyuan away. "Let's go back, let's go back!"

To be honest, Gu Juncheng was seriously injured this time.

In Gu Youlian's words, it was just like Nezha, his bones and muscles were rebuilt.

He stayed in the hospital for more than two months, undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. It's only because he has a good constitution that he recovered so quickly and is now finally able to walk again.

A lot has happened in the past two months.

Lin Qingping's mother and younger brother, along with the group of debt collectors, have all been arrested and are expected to go to trial soon.

During this time, Lin Qingping recovered and was discharged from the hospital earlier than Gu Juncheng. Her mother and younger brother insisted on seeing her, but she did not go. Later, she insisted on seeing her second sister, using filial piety and family ties to blackmail her. Knowing that her second sister had married into a high-class family in the capital, she wanted her second sister to find a way to get them out.

How could my second sister still be so confused?

Moreover, the second sister also learned that her mother and brother had initially tried to take advantage of her when they first came to the capital, because she was more "obedient" than Lin Qingping. However, since the second sister's residence was not accessible to them, and she was always picked up and dropped off by Yunqi when she went out, they had no opportunity to do so.
