The only thing he could do now was to try to spend more time with her at the end of his life, to take her to her favourite places and eat her favourite food, to just make up for her a little.
Having been married to Gu Yaotian for almost thirty years, it could be said that Mrs Gu knew him from the inside out.
As soon as she looked at Gu Yaotian’s expression at the moment, she knew what Gu Yaotian was thinking.
But precisely because she knew, Mrs Gu’s heart was even more uncomfortable and tears were flowing straight out, “Yaotian, you won’t die, you won’t, we will definitely be able to find a suitable kidney, we definitely can!”
Mrs. Gu held onto Gu Yaotian’s hand tightly, not daring to let go.
She was afraid that if she let go, this man would be gone.
Of course Gu Yaotian knew Mrs. Gu’s fear, he patted her back again, “You and I both know about the kidney, the probability of finding one is too low.”
“No.” Mrs. Gu couldn’t accept this fact and directly hugged Gu Yaotian, burying her head on his shoulder and crying unstoppably.
Gu Yaotian smiled gently and patted her back, “Alright, alright, don’t cry, so many people are watching, don’t cry.”
Mrs Gu also knew that being watched was a bit humiliating.
She lifted her head from Gu Yaotian’s shoulder, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped her eyes, stopped crying and then raised a smile, turning back into the usual high and mighty lady, as if the person who had just cried into a child was not her.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this and don’t think about this, the purpose of our visit today is to buy mugwort cakes, let’s go.”
Mrs. Gu forced down the sadness in her heart, gave a hmph, took his arm and walked towards the front.
The two of them arrived at the order machine.
Gu Yaotian coughed twice before speaking, “Ask for a mugwort cake.”
The shop a*sistant looked up at him and said apologetically, “No, sir, the last mugwort cake has just been bought by this young lady.”
She only wanted Rongshu who was sitting in front with her back to them.
Rongshu seemed to feel someone pointing at her and put down her gla*s of water and turned her head.
Seeing Mr and Mrs Gu Yaotian, she froze.
Likewise, Mr and Mrs Gu Yaotian froze.
“It’s you?”
“You guys?”
The three of them spoke in unison.
The shop a*sistant looked at Rong Shu and then at Gu Yaotian and his wife, and only then did she realise that they knew each other.
Since these three knew each other, it was better for her not to speak.
“Why are you here?” Madam Gu asked with a slightly sullen expression as she hugged Gu Yaotian’s arm tightly.
Gu Yaotian did not say anything, but the look in his eyes at Rong Shu was gloomy and cold.
Looking at these two people who had treated her badly, Rong Shu stood up with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, “This is not your Gu family’s territory, why can’t I be here? Don’t you think it’s a bit retarded for Mrs. Gu to ask that?”
“You,” Mrs. Gu’s face turned red with anger.
Gu Yaotian blocked a hand in front of her, gesturing for her to calm down first, and then face Rong Shu herself.
He still did not say anything, but just kept staring at Rong Shu.
Looking at this face of Rong Shu, I don’t know why, it was a bit distracting.
Like, really like!
Both the side of Rongshu’s face and the overall profile of her face were very much like his mother’s.
He had seen it before, but didn’t put it to heart and didn’t care too much about it.
So later on, he had gradually forgotten that Rongshu looked like his mother.
It was not until the last time, when he saw Rongshu’s launch, that it dawned on him that Rongshu, both in terms of the time she was picked up and her resemblance to his mother, could indeed be Mangyi.
But in fact, it was not.
This made him not sure whether to regret or to be glad.
So much so that now, when he saw Rong Shu, he had some indescribable mixed feelings.
Originally, he should have taught this girl a good lesson, but now, he was full of thoughts of teaching her a lesson in his heart, but he could not use them at all.
Not to mention what mood Gu Yaotian was in at the moment, Rong Shu looked at him with a rather subtle look in her heart.
She was used to Gu Yaotian looking at herself with that malicious and calculating look, but she was a little uncomfortable in the face of Gu Yaotian’s current look.
Although Gu Yaotian was looking at her with the same gloomy eyes, there was an additional emotion that she could not say.
That emotion, made her very uncomfortable, a feeling of being tied up.
However, Rong Shu did not show this feeling, she hid it well and calmly stared at Gu Yaotian, while not moving to gaze at him.
She had not seen Gu Yaotian for some time, and only knew that Gu Yaotian had been in hospital for three days.
She knew that Gu Yaotian’s current condition was very serious, so serious that Gu Man’er had come to beg her three times to save him.
Now that she saw how thin Gu Yaotian had become, she fully realised that he was really very sick.
I don’t know why, but seeing such a Gu Yaotian, Rong Shu’s heart felt a bit clogged and sour.
She should have been happy, after all, her enemy was so sick that he was dying.
However, she did not feel any happiness, but rather a feeling of sadness.
Sad.
Rongshu bit her lip.
Was she sad that Gu Yaotian was terminally ill?
Heh, how could that be!
It was absolutely impossible, she was crazy to be sad for her enemy.
Rongshu tightened her palms, took a deep breath and pushed down all these horrible thoughts and ideas in her mind, then glared at the couple across the room with mock impatience and turned to the shop a*sistant and asked, “Hello, have you packed my mugwort cake?”
With these words, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
Gu Yaotian also stopped staring at Rong Shu and just lowered his head, thinking about something.
In fact, the Gu Yaotian of tonight was somewhat surprising to Rong Shu.
In the past, every time she saw Gu Yaotian, she would have a grudge against him, because this person, no matter what, would always grab her and taunt her.
So, she could not avoid arguing back with him.
But today, Gu Yaotian surprisingly didn’t say a word, which naturally made her feel a bit strange.
However, it could also be because he was sick and lacked energy.
As she was thinking, the shop a*sistant suddenly spoke up in response, “Miss, your mugwort cake has been packed.”
“Okay, thanks.” Rongshu smiled at her and extended her hand, ready to take the bag.
But the moment her hand reached out, Madam Gu suddenly saw something and her pupils shrank, then immediately grabbed her hand and yanked it to her heels.
“Ah!” Rongshu was almost yanked to the ground by her.
If she hadn’t reacted in time and held onto the table of the order machine in time to stabilise herself, she would definitely have fallen.
“Madam Gu, what are you doing?” After standing firmly, Rongshu let go of the table, her face darkened as she gazed at the somewhat agitated Madam Gu and questioned loudly.
The guests around were all attracted by her voice and looked over, not understanding what was happening.
Even Gu Yaotian, too, was surprised by his wife’s actions.
But soon, he frowned and lowered his voice and said to Gu Yaotian “What are you doing, let go of her, even if you want to do something to her, it should be in private, not in a public place, isn’t this actively giving people a handle?”
Mrs. Gu ignored his words and just kept staring at Rong Shu’s wrist, looking at the shallow scar, her body trembled with excitement, “Yao Tian, look.”
“What are you looking at, let go of me now or don’t blame me for calling the police.” Rongshu blushed very badly and jerked her own hand outwards with great force.
Mrs. Gu grabbed her wrist very tightly, “Wait, don’t you move, let me see, let me see, okay? Please!”
The word “please” made Rong Shu completely freeze.
Her struggling movements stopped and she looked up at Madam Gu incredulously, “Do you you know what you’re saying?”
