Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1683 The Grudges Of The Previous Generation

The ward instantly fell silent. The three men stopped breathing and looked at the woman on the bed. She narrowed her eyes and said coquettishly, “Don’t disturb my sleep!”

Qiao Xi slowly woke up. She had been asleep for too long that she was now unaccustomed to the dazzling sunlight. Gu Zheng immediately stood up and quickly closed the curtains. He turned around, then went to the bed to hold her hand. “Xi Xi!”

Ye Qingyuan was stunned for a few seconds before pulling Xia Jingan along. “Ah Zheng, we’ll go out first. Take good care of Xi Xi.”

Xi Xi had just woken up. The couple would definitely express their feelings for each other. The two of them should be sensible and go out, but Xia Jingan stood rooted to the ground.

Just as Ye Qingyuan was about to forcefully pull him out, Qiao Xi suddenly said, “I want to talk to Mr. Xia alone.”

Gu Zheng looked at her meaningfully. Seeing that her eyes were calm, he nodded. “Alright, you guys talk. I’ll wait for you outside.”

After the two men left, Qiao Xi went straight to the point and asked, “What exactly did you want to say that day?”

Xia Jingan took a deep breath and said helplessly, “I think you need to know about the grudges of the previous generation. Back then, my mother, Xia Zishan, fell in love with a man. This person happens to be Aunt Yunqiu’s fiance and the heir of the Situ family.

“Originally, the Xia family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Situ family. Old Madam Xia was prepared to give this marriage to my mother, but after Aunt Yunqiu returned, Mr. Situ fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her. My mother hated her and spent a lot of effort chasing Aunt Yunqiu away. When Mr. Situ found out, he fell out with the Xia family and took Aunt Yunqiu away. He completely cut off all contact with the Xia family.

“Ever since then, Xia Zishan became even crazier. She… She found out that a noble in Y Nation liked Aunt Yunqiu, but at that time, Aunt was already engaged to Mr. Situ. She relied on the fact that she was a little similar to Aunt Yunqiu and pretended to be Aunt to have sex with that noble. She even gave birth to a son.

“She went to Y Nation under Aunt Yunqiu’s name. That noble knew that she was not Aunt Yunqiu, but he still deceived himself and thought that the woman who gave birth to his child was Xia Yunqiu.

“After that, she returned to Li City. That man chased after her and said in public that he and Aunt Yunqiu had a child together. Old Madam Xia handed Aunt Yunqiu to that man and asked him to bring Aunt Yunqiu to Y Nation. This way, the Situ family’s engagement could only belong to Xia Zishan.”

Xia Jingan paused for a moment, and his tone carried a trace of mockery when he said, “But Mr. Situ’s heart was filled with Aunt Yunqiu. Even though Xia Zishan looked a little similar to her, he didn’t have any feelings for her at all. Everything Xia Zishan did was in vain. She ruined Xia Yunqiu’s reputation but also her own.

“Two years later, Aunt Yunqiu escaped from Y Nation, and Mr. Situ’s whereabouts were unknown. At that time, Xia Zishan adopted a child called Xia Chunyu, who was about your age.

“Xia Zishan looked for Mr. Situ everywhere, but there was no trace of him. She missed him so much that she committed suicide by jumping into the river.”

After the last word was said, the ward fell silent.

Qiao Xi was unable to understand why a woman would be unscrupulous for love and even force herself to have children with a man she did not love.

“That noble is Kang Ru. Xia Zishan’s son is Kang Jichuan!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Xi gasped. All the mysteries seemed to have been solved. In order to ruin her mother’s engagement, Xia Zishan set up a big plan. Yin Lianyi took the opportunity to chase her mother out of the Xia family and got Kang Ru to bring her to Y Nation.

She had long guessed that her mother would not like a selfish man like Kang Ru, much less bear him a child. It turned out that all of this was Xia Zishan’s scheme.

Xia Jingan suddenly laughed. “I’m about the same age as Kang Jichuan, but I’m not Kang Ru’s child.”

Qiao Xi had a shocked expression. Xia Zishan was the same age as Kang Jichuan, so how could she have given birth to two children with different fathers at the same time? Either Xia Jingan was not Xia Zishan’s child, or the Xia family had hidden Xia Jingan’s age.

Qiao Xi wanted to ask something else, but she felt that her throat was a little itchy. She could not help but cough a few times. The next second, the door was pushed open and Gu Zheng walked over with a glass of warm water in his hand. “Xi Xi, drink some water first.”

Qiao Xi took the glass and took two sips. When she met Gu Zheng’s eyes, they were red and dark. He even emitted a strong smell of medicine.

She instantly recalled the scene before she fainted. Gu Zheng was clearly injured by a gunshot.

At this moment, Ye Qingyuan said with an unhappy expression, “Mr. Xia, Xi Xi has just woken up and is still very weak. She’ll be fine soon. Come with me.”
