Chapter 1035 - 1038: She Is His Last Sanctuary 2
When his sky was overcast with dark clouds, she could still tell him that he was surrounded by love. She could offer him a sliver of illusion, imagining himself bathed in sunlight, in a haven of purity.
Gu Shaocheng didn’t say, but after a good sleep, he felt much better.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Gu Family will be busy again. He might have to toil for the whole month to prepare for the banquet.
Chenxing couldn’t help but sigh, "Time flies, a whole year has gone by just like that."
This time last year, she was brought back from Liberia by Gu Shaocheng. She lived outside and refused to cohabit with him. Looking back, it was quite amusing. She also suffered an allergic reaction, broke out in rashes all over, hid in her room and didn’t dare to go out. In the end, she still managed to embarrass herself during his banquet.
"Time does fly," Gu Shaocheng laughed, a year ago she couldn’t wait to leave him, and now, after a year, she was pregnant with his child.
"Since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, can we have Mom come over to celebrate with us?" Chenxing blinked, "And Grandma as well."
"Your mom can come, but your grandma can’t."
Chenxing pouted upon hearing this. He never compromised when it came to her grandmother. Her grandmother hadn’t provoked him, and her foster mother was in her current situation because of him... Forget it, let’s not bring that up, "Alright then, I’ll have Luo Xi take Grandma over, let Luo Xi spend the festival with her. I’ll just bring Mom over. But it seems like Luo Xi doesn’t really celebrate Mid-Autumn, sigh..."
Gu Shaocheng ignored her sighs and complaints, and devoured her passionately again until she was left panting and begging for mercy. Finally, they got up leisurely, but the weather outside was still rainy, and moon viewing would likely be just wishful thinking.
Chenxing went to the nursing home herself to pick people up while Gu Shaocheng finished two video meetings in the study. Then, Nan Baihao came over in a huff, already knowing about yesterday’s events. He pushed the door open and roared, "Brother, let me take down that wretch He Yingteng to avenge our aunt!"
Upon hearing his words, Gu Shaocheng’s eyes darkened, "I won’t let her die that easily!"
"Then what should we do? Just give the word, brother, and I’ll skin her alive!" Nan Baihao’s mind bristled with a range of cruel punishments, unable to tolerate how someone could do such appalling things to their own sister. He hadn’t even been able to eat breakfast that morning when he heard about the incident, it was too monstrous to comprehend how there wasn’t a bolt of lightning to strike her dead!
"Find that prescription. Just like how she drugged my mother back then, I want her to taste it herself!" Otherwise, his resentment could not be appeased.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that prescription must have come from Doctor He. But now Doctor He was already dead, so it was a certainty that his father’s death couldn’t be disconnected from Miyai as well. Miyai was already dead, so regarding the plot against his father, who else was involved?
He was determined to root out the person behind it all!
He even had a premonition that this person might be related to the Gu Family. Reflecting carefully, during the time his father encountered trouble, his grandfather’s health was deteriorating rapidly. At that time, his father was the heir his grandfather valued the most. Although the struggle for power within the Gu Family wasn’t particularly clear then, in the five years that followed, with the patriarch increasingly incapacitated and unable to manage the vast family business, several contenders within the Gu Family became sacrificial pawns and stepping stones in the scramble for power.
