Chapter 1011: Chapter 8: Shock and Grief

Le Zhengpeng was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances with Dr. Cui.

This is practically a heaven and earth shift!

The doctor’s words contained two meanings...Cui Ruoya was pregnant, but now the child is gone!

Dr. Cui frowned, "How could this happen?"

Whose child could Cui Ruoya be carrying? Naturally, it was Le Zhengsheng’s!

Le Zhengpeng was furious, at his age, he’d been eagerly anticipating having a grandson for the past two years. News finally arrived, only for it to turn out that the little grandson was gone just like that!

"You!"

Le Zhengpeng’s face darkened, pointing at Gu Xiaoning, "Tell me, what happened between you and Ruoya? Why are you here? Her child is gone, does it have something to do with you? Huh? Speak!"

Gu Xiaoning was forced to retreat repeatedly under his questioning, "Uncle, I didn’t do it on purpose..."

"Not on purpose?" Upon hearing this, Le Zhengpeng was immediately enraged, "So, the child’s death is indeed related to you, isn’t it?"

"Uncle, at the time she was pulling at me, refusing to let go...I wanted to break free, so then..."

Gu Xiaoning didn’t know how to explain. Now she was at a loss for words.

"So, it’s you, it was you who killed my little grandson!" Le Zhengpeng, overwhelmed with anger, raised his arm and slapped Gu Xiaoning hard on the face.

With a crisp ’slap’, Gu Xiaoning’s body swayed, covering her cheek, unable to react for a while.

"Mr. Lezheng!" Dr. Cui hurriedly stepped forward, "Please calm down!"

Le Zhengpeng pointed at Gu Xiaoning, shaking with rage.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? I’ve never regretted anything in my life until the day I agreed to let you marry Asheng! A girl as lowly as you, I shouldn’t have agreed at all! Truly, you’re despicable to the core! Since you came into our Asheng’s life, nothing good has happened!"

"Uncle..."

Gu Xiaoning bit her lip, her palms clenched tightly.

"What are you looking at?"

Le Zhengpeng knitted his brows, "Dare to glare at me? Gu Xiaoning, this matter isn’t over! You caused my little grandson’s death, do you think I’ll just let you off?"

"Uh..."

A nurse came out from inside, "Excuse me, where are the relatives? We need to take care of some procedures..."

"I am..."

"I am."

Le Zhengpeng pointed at Gu Xiaoning, "Just you wait, I won’t let this go! Gu Xiaoning, you’re not only of poor character now, you’re a murderer!"

"Nurse, I will take care of the procedures!"

"Mr. Lezheng, I’ll handle it..."

"I’ll do it! Ruoya suffered such grievances, it’s the Lezheng family’s failure!"

Gu Xiaoning’s mind buzzed, chaotic yet seemingly empty.

Although it wasn’t intentional, she indeed made a mistake!

Gu Xiaoning stood desolately in the corridor, her thin frame resembling a sheet of paper.

In her pocket, her phone rang.

Earlier she hadn’t paid attention, only now did she take it out.

There were two missed calls and a text message.

The calls were from Le Zhengsheng, the message also sent by him. "The person who kicked us out said it was Le Zhengpeng’s decision... This is the Lezheng family’s property, they won’t let us live there anymore. Also, Xiao Zheng’s matters, they won’t help anymore either—"

Gu Xiaoning froze, naturally understanding, this is what Le Zhengpeng meant by... he won’t let her off!

He couldn’t ask for her life, so targeting her family was the best way.

Ling Yu couldn’t understand, "Le Zhengsheng knows about this, doesn’t he?"

"Don’t bring him up!" Aunt Gu fumed, "Our Ningning, how did she end up meeting him! Already not smart, since being with Le Zhengsheng, hasn’t done a single smart thing! Gu Xiaoning, wise up, you’re not dreaming anymore at your age!"

"Aunty..."

Gu Xiaoning reached out and opened the message...

Ningning, I’m about to board the plane, you’re...not coming? Am I really that unforgivable?

"Asheng..." Gu Xiaoning suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Asheng might not know yet that she harmed his child, right?

Standing there dazed for a long time, Gu Xiaoning finally responded.

On the plane, Le Zhengsheng was still looking at his phone.

Ling Yu frowned, "Don’t be upset, you need to find a place to settle down first."

He leaned down to pick up the luggage, "Come on, let’s get in the car first."

"Oh, okay."

Unexpectedly, Ling Yu directly brought Aunt Gu and Gu Xiaozheng back to the Ling Family.

Gu Xiaoning quickly shook her head, "Young Master Ling, this won’t do..."

"Not do?" Ling Yu smiled, "Then where do you think Aunt and Xiao Zheng should go? Do you have another place to stay?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning fell silent.

"Let’s do this for now, we’ll talk about future matters later on."

In the chaos, only settling down at Lingyun Manor was possible.

The whole day had been a constant struggle.

The flight attendant came over, "Sir, please turn off your phone... The plane is about to take off."

"... Okay."

Le Zhengsheng sighed, preparing to turn off his phone.

The message came in — it was Ningning!

"Just one last look!" Le Zhengsheng pleaded with the flight attendant, "Just wait a moment..."

Excitedly, he opened the message, hoping.

The screen showed... "I’m sorry."

Le Zhengsheng’s smile vanished instantly, was this really Gu Xiaoning’s sentiment?

"Sir, can you turn off your phone now?"

Defeated, Le Zhengsheng leaned back in his seat, "...Got it."

The phone was off, yet he seemed as though he had lost all power.

Indeed, he had guessed it right. Gu Xiaoning wouldn’t forgive him! He had made too many mistakes, who could forgive such a foolish husband? Two years, and yet he remained utterly oblivious to his wife’s affairs... Accusing her, misunderstanding her! Even after she returned, he continued pestering her!

Yes, he wanted reconciliation.

But, he always upheld himself with a... Gu Xiaoning, you owe me attitude!

If he were Gu Xiaoning, would he forgive such a jerk of himself?

Le Zhengsheng thought carefully, feeling chilled. For he knew, the answer was... no.

——

These days, Gu Xiaoning had been in a daze, constantly feeling something would happen.

While chopping, she mistakenly cut herself.

"Ah..."

Gu Xiaoning exclaimed, cutting her finger.

A hand reached over beside her, she looked up, finding it was Ling Yu.

Ling Yu frowned, "What are you thinking? Why so careless? Luckily, it’s not deep..."

He went to get a band-aid for her, meanwhile, Gu Xiaoning’s phone rang.

"Hello?" Gu Xiaoning answered urgently, "Mom!"

From the phone, Aunt Gu’s voice sounded anxious, "Ningning, something’s happened, can you come to get us now?"

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning was startled; the thing she’d been worried about all along finally happened.

"Okay, I’ll be right there!"

Gu Xiaoning hung up hurriedly, utterly flustered, turning, and accidentally bumped into Ling Yu.

"Young Master Ling, I need to take leave... my mom and brother..."

Seeing her like that, how could Ling Yu let her go alone?

Ling Yu grabbed her, "Let’s go together!"

...

Rushing to Aunt Gu’s place, Gu Xiaoning was stunned.

Her mother and brother sat on the stairway at the entrance, their luggage beside them...

"This is..." Ling Yu frowned, "What happened?"

"Ah..."

Aunt Gu sighed, looking at Gu Xiaoning.
