Chapter 104: Did the youngest brother sincerely apologize to me?
The moment Gu Chengyan saw Su Yutang, his dim eyes suddenly lit up.
He instinctively took a step forward, his voice hoarse yet gentle.
"Yutang, you look so beautiful today!"
Su Yutang was slightly taken aback. Judging from his appearance, he probably hadn't left all night.
Gu Huaiye, standing beside him, looked wary and possessive.
"Brother, even if you stay here until the end of time, Tangtang won't even glance back at you. Why make yourself look so pathetic?"
He paused deliberately, then leaned close to Su Yutang's ear, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Gu Chengyan to hear clearly.
"Last night...Tangtang rode on my back all night!"
Having waited all night and whose temper had long been worn down, Gu Chengyan had no energy left to argue with Gu Huaiye in the face of his blatant provocation.
His eyes were red and he stared intently at Su Yutang.
"Tangtang, no matter what, I will always be good to you. I believe that one day you will accept me again."
Su Yutang merely glanced at him coldly, her tone indifferent.
"Perfect timing, you two can come with me to the hospital to visit Aunt Gu. I'm waiting for her to apologize to me in person."
As she spoke, she walked forward without looking back, her high heels clicking on the ground.
Her pert buttocks, accompanied by her supple waist, twisted in a flamboyant and sexy manner.
Gu Huaiye put his arm around Su Yutang's waist, whispering and laughing in her ear, their behavior intimate and affectionate.
Following behind, Gu Chengyan felt as if countless needles were piercing his heart, and jealousy surged wildly within him.
But he could only endure it and follow behind the two of them.
The three arrived at the ward.
Su Yutang's gaze fell directly on Gu Ruyan, who was lying on the hospital bed.
She lay there, but her eyes, as she looked at Su Yutang, were still filled with hatred and malice.
Su Yutang sneered inwardly.
Even though this woman is paralyzed, her eyes still have a vicious look.
Eager to impress Su Yutang, Gu Chengyan rushed to the bedside before Gu Huaiye could speak, his tone more forceful than ever before.
"Mom, you must apologize to Yutang right now! You almost caused her death, and you must sincerely apologize to her! Otherwise, Yutang will not forgive you, and neither will I!"
Gu Ruyan's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice became hoarse and resentful.
"Chengyan...Mom's already in this state, do you still expect me to bow down and apologize to her?"
Su Yutang took a step forward, her tone cold and sharp.
"Aunt Gu, you're in this state not because of me. You almost blew me to bits. I'm only asking you to apologize and not pursuing the matter further; that's already a stroke of good luck for you. If Cheng Yan and Huai Ye hadn't taken turns pleading for you, I would never have let you off so easily!"
Gu Huaiye instructed Liu Ma, who was standing nearby, "Liu Ma, help my mother up."
Not daring to disobey, Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Gu Ruyan up, letting her sit against the headboard. Then she immediately lowered her head and shrank to the side, not daring to watch the confrontation any longer.
Gu Huaiye continued, "Mom, apologize to Tangtang properly, otherwise if Tangtang gets angry, she'll have the police arrest you and throw you in jail. With your current condition, once you're in there, you might never get out again."
Gu Ruyan knew that she had intentionally injured someone and almost caused a death. Without Su Yutang's forgiveness, going to jail would be a certainty.
She's been spoiled her whole life, how could she possibly bear to spend the rest of her life in prison?
Her hands, hidden under the covers, clenched tightly. Forced into a corner, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Su Yutang raised her eyebrows slightly and turned away, pretending to be indifferent.
"Aunt Gu, since you don't want to apologize, then forget it. I'll go to the police station now and follow the proper procedures."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ruyan panicked and, no longer caring about her dignity, hurriedly shouted out in a hoarse voice.
"sorry."
Su Yutang paused, slowly turned around, and spoke in a cold and distant tone.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again louder."
Gu Ruyan gritted her teeth and forced out another sentence: "I'm sorry."
Su Yutang's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Aunt Gu, do you think you can just erase the fact that I almost died at your hands with just three words?"
She paused, took a step forward, and looked directly at Gu Ruyan.
"Then, do as I say."
"Just say: Su Yutang, I sincerely apologize to you. I swear, from now on I will never do anything to hurt you again. If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
She emphasized the last few words.
Gu Ruyan's face instantly drained of color, and her hands, hidden under the covers, trembled violently.
She looked up in despair at her two beloved sons whom she had cherished since childhood.
But neither of them looked at her; the two brothers' attention was completely focused on Su Yutang, their eyes filled with nothing but her.
Gu Ruyan suddenly gave a bitter smile.
She finally understood that no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't overcome Su Yutang's importance in her two sons' hearts.
Fine, I'll endure this humiliation for now.
Gu Ruyan vowed to repay everything she had suffered today tenfold in the future, and would never let this vile woman off so easily.
Having figured this out, Gu Ruyan closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, all that remained in her eyes was a deathly stillness and suppressed resentment.
She repeated Su Yutang's words, word by word, with humiliation.
"I, Gu Ruyan, sincerely apologize to you. I swear I will never hurt you again. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
As soon as she finished speaking, her nails dug deep into her palms, her hatred hidden in her very bones, waiting to be settled one day.
Upon hearing Gu Ruyan's sincere apology, the two Gu brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Using the excuse of needing to speak privately, Su Yutang asked Gu Chengyan, Gu Huaiye, and Aunt Liu to leave the ward and then closed the door behind her.
Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the ward.
She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking calmly at Gu Ruyan, her tone light yet incisive.
"A person's eyes don't lie. You apologize, but in your heart, you still hate me to the core!"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Gu Ruyan stopped pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved and slowly curled a sinister smile onto her face.
"yes!"
Her voice was cold and harsh.
"I, Gu Ruyan, am flexible and adaptable. It's just an apology; it won't cost me anything."
"Su Yutang, no matter how smug you are now, your smile won't last long. There will always be a time when you cry."
"Once I recover, I will repay you tenfold, with interest, for all the humiliation you inflicted on me today!"
Su Yutang smiled gently, her tone calm and composed.
"Aunt Gu, I like it when you're straightforward and say whatever comes to mind."
She paused, her gaze falling on Gu Ruyan's face, and slowly spoke.
"Aunt Gu, to be honest, if you hadn't slapped me twice back then, I wouldn't have made up my mind to deliberately get close to your son to get revenge on you. That He Xun is just a scumbag, not worth my time at all."
"I'm here today to give each other a chance, a chance to turn hostility into friendship."
"I remember it clearly. You slapped me twice. How about this: if you let me return those slaps to you, I'll immediately return Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye to you, and I'll never speak to them again. What do you say?"
