"Bro, aren’t you going to interrogate that treacherous He Yingteng?" Hua Hua asked as he walked into the room.
"Interrogate her? She can weave a hundred different narratives for you. Which version would you choose to believe?" Even if she was not his biological mother, over the years hadn’t they had plenty of dealings? Gu Shaocheng knew what kind of person she was even better than her own son!
Hua Hua huffed, "Let’s nab her son then, see if she spills."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaocheng couldn’t help but scoff. "Would she value her son over herself? I expect she values money over her son."
Nan Baihao nodded, "Exactly, that bitch doesn’t tell a single truth. Brother, I’ll personally investigate this and make sure we get to the bottom of whatever happened back then!"
Hua Hua was incensed, "So you’re just going to let her keep living her cushy life?"
Gu Shaocheng paused before saying, "I don’t want any trace of the Xia Family to exist once I’m discharged from the hospital!"
He had never made a move due to a lingering sense of maternal love. Since she wasn’t his mother, there was no need to show her any rcy, especially not the patriarch of the Xia Family.
"I’m not a compassionate person," Gu Shaocheng said, adding a sentence, "No one is allowed to die!"
For all those who had offended him and gotten away with it for so long, he would make sure the rest of their lives were worse than death!
"I get it, bro. Rest up. I’ll take care of everything," Nan Baihao said.
Achoo...
Hua Hua imdiately passed over a tissue. Gu Shaocheng wiped his nose, glanced at the IV drip – still half a bottle left – but he couldn’t wait any longer and pulled it out.
Hua Hua exclaid, "What are you doing, bro?"
Gu Shaocheng untangled his arm from Chenxing, swung his legs off the bed, and tucked her in. "I’m fine."
"Do you need to go to the restroom?" As Hua Hua tried to help him up, Gu Shaocheng brushed her off. "I don’t need it."
"Stop trying to act strong. You’ve been on your knees for three days and only slept one. Even an iron man couldn’t take this. Let help you."
"Really, I don’t need it. Baihao, ready the car."
Nan Baihao blinked in surprise. "What for?"
"I’m going to take my mother’s ashes back and bury her with my father."
He didn’t want his mother to remain all alone in this cherry blossom forest.
As he left the hospital room, he threw out an order, "She’s not allowed to leave the hospital, and don’t tell her where I’ve gone."
Two personal guards bowed in acknowledgnt. "Yes, sir!"
As Hua Hua followed him out and helped him into his thick coat, a car was already waiting for him as he exited the hospital.
...............
A group of them got into the car, destination: the cherry blossom forest.
Little did they expect, upon arriving they found a group of people already gathered in the cherry blossom forest. Gu Shaocheng stepped out of the car with a frosty glare and an arrogant stride, with Hua Hua and Nan Baihao close behind, and a group of personal guards flooded into the cherry blossom forest.
He Yingteng was standing there, crying and offering incense with every mber of the He family gathered to mourn the deceased.
When Hideko saw Gu Shaocheng, she wanted to approach him but, rembering his ferocity, she stopped herself and whispered instead, "Grandpa, Cousin is here."
Before He Tianqi had a chance to respond, Gu Shaocheng’s firm, calm voice echoed out.
"I’m here to take my mother’s ashes to bury her alongside my father."
