Gu Baisheng kept looking at Hu Hui and Song Shuang.
Song Shuang felt it and glared at her.
Gu Baisheng's lips twitched, and she stopped looking at him immediately.
At the same time, the door was pushed open. A cold and condescending female voice came, "Your daughter is dead. How long do you plan to force my son to take care of you?"
After hearing this,
the three people in the ward froze and then looked at her with different looks.
Lin Fengya had arrived at the ward.
Nobody knew how long she had been listening to their conversation.
They could only see that the servant behind Lin Fengya was carrying a delicate lunch box and following the rich lady obediently.
Lin Fengya was still in her favorite cheongsam with a beautiful cashmere fringed shawl covering her dress.
She stared at Hu Hui in an elegant and distant way.
After seeing Lin Fengya, Hu Hui didn't change her look so much. But Gu Baisheng could tell that there was a coldness in her mother's eyes.
Apparently, they two couldn't get along when they met each other.
Seven years ago, when Song Shuang insisted on marrying Gu Baisheng, the Song Family was cold to Hu Hui.
After Gu Baisheng married Song Shuang, the two families didn't meet each other unless necessary.
The marriage between a normal family and a powerful family always made people feel that the latter was beyond the former's reach.
But Hu Hui never felt so about her daughter and Song Shuang's marriage.
On the contrary, she hated this family from the bottom of her heart.
And she tried not to see Song Shuang either.
The two families looked down upon each other, so it was natural that their meetings were always unpeaceful.
Lin Fengya was so condescending.
Hu Hui treated her as an ornament and didn't bother to even look at her, let alone to butter up her.
Gu Baisheng suddenly felt a bit nervous.
She was worried that they might start a quarrel.
But what you were worried about would definitely happen to you.
Hu Hui was not a pushover. It was impossible for her not to talk back when Lin Fengya poured salt on her wound.
"I've never forced your son to take care of me. He does so because he feels guilty."
Song Shuang didn't refute it.
Gu Baisheng became more curious.
What made Song Shuang feel guilty?
Was she talking about Gu Baisheng getting killed in the earthquake?
It was impossible. Song Shuang had nothing to do with Gu Baisheng's death.
Lin Fengya looked displeased, "Why did you bring it up again? My son has done enough for your daughter!"
"Has done enough?" Hu Hui looked at Lin Fengya's face coldly. She felt it ridiculous, "My daughter wouldn't have died if it hadn't been for him. My daughter's life would be much easier!"
Hu Hui voice was harsh. It seemed that her long-time anger finally burst forth. And she glared at Lin Fengya, "Your son is your baby, so is my daughter to me. How could he..."
"Enough! Shut up!" Lin Fengya was cut to the quick, so she interrupted Hu Hui angrily. She was worried that what Hu Hui was about to say would ruin the reputation of the Song Family.
Hu Hui held back what she planned to say when she realized that Bai Shengsheng was here.
Lin Fengya lifted up her hand to touch her painful temple, and then she told the servant, "Mrs. Fei, put the breakfast down and wait for me outside the hospital."
On hearing it, the servant went into the ward and put the lunch box down.
Lin Fengya felt relieved and talked to Hu Hui, "Let's talk outside."
Gu Baisheng realized that between the two people...
No, it was actually between the two families. The two families were intertwined with each other by a dark secret that Gu Baisheng had no idea of.
Song Shuang felt guilty about Gu Baisheng.
And the guilt made the whole Song Family have no courage to face Hu Hui.
That explained why Hu Hui despised such a rich and powerful family.
And because of the guilt, Song Shuang used his obedience and respect to make up to Hu Hui.
Although Hu Hui appeared to be peaceful with her son-in-law, in fact, she resented or even hated him.
It could be proven by Hu Hui and Lin Fengya's argument.
As Hu Hui's daughter, she knew her mother's personality.
Her mother wouldn't hate someone so much for no reason, especially someone as tactic and reliable as Song Shuang.
She remembered when she was a student, they bumped into Song Shuang when they did their new year shopping. Song Shuang greeted them.
Her mother seemed to like Song Shuang a lot and wished her to marry a boy like him.
But when she got pregnant and really married Song Shuang,
Her mother didn't seem to like the son-in-law so much.
They just maintained the semblance of peace.
She once thought that it was because that she was pregnant with another man's child, and it made her mother feel awkward. And her mother kept a distance from him on purpose.
But now, she knew it was so far from the truth.
She was curious what the secret was. So she wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation when they agreed to talk outside.
She couldn't resist the temptation. After all, it had something to do with her.
But when she was about to sneak out, Song Shuang seemed to find out her intention and said, "Take the breakfast out of the lunch box."
"What?" She quickly caught on and took his breakfast, "Oh."
The lunch box had three layers with Beicheng's specialties in it.
There were a piece of date cake and pickles on the first layer.
Song Shuang liked the pickle. It was the starter of Gu Baisheng's breakfast when she was pregnant. She lost her appetite for breakfast, so Song Shuang would eat some pickle himself to seduce her to try it too.
And day by day, Song Shuang started to like it somehow.
There were two steamed buns and a deep-fried dough stick on the second layer.
There was a bowl of fresh bean juice on the third layer.
Gu Baisheng didn't have breakfast either. When she was taking the food out of the lunch box, she also thought to herself.
The Song Family didn't recognize her as Song Shuang's wife, and they only prepared the breakfast for one person.
They didn't even think about Song Shuang's new wife who had been taking care of him for the whole night.
"This looks yummy. Enjoy your breakfast now! I have to go out."
Gu Baisheng put the breakfast on the little bed table.
Song Shuang glanced at Gu Baisheng and frowned.
Gu Baisheng thought it was a sign of contempt.
Unexpectedly, Song Shuang said, "I saw you buy some plain porridge. Give it to me. I can't eat this one."
"You can't eat that one?" Gu Baisheng tried not to laugh, "We can switch then. You have the plain porridge, and I have the other one."
Her stomach made a sound when she was talking.
Song Shuang glanced at her in contempt and didn't bother to talk to her.
Gu Baisheng put the plain porridge in front of Song Shuang and picked up a steamed bun. When she was about to eat, she suddenly thought of something, so she tore the steamed bun in half, took out the stuffing, and placed it on her own plate. Then she handed the bun skin to him and put half of the pickle into his plate, "Eat something. Or your mother will be so mad at me if she knows that I eat all the food."
"No." Song Shuang replied coldly.
Gu Baisheng ignored him. She put the pickle into her mouth and ate it with the bun. The delicious food made her squint her eyes.
Song Shuang looked down when he saw the way she picked up the pickle.
Outside the ward.
Hu Hui and Lin Fengya looked at each other.
Lin Fengya held one hand with her other hand. She looked a bit embarrassed, "It's been seven years. It's the past. Should a person be punished by his one mistake for his whole life?"
"Shouldn't he?"
Hu Hui glared at Lin Fengya with her sharp eyes, "When my daughter married your son, everyone said that she was lucky and my family was lucky. But do you really think my daughter cares about your money? Do you really think my family cares?"
Lin Fengya looked so pale after hearing it.
Hu Hui gasped and tried hard to control herself, "Your son destroyed my daughter's life. My daughter didn't have a happy day in the past few years. My daughter wouldn't have kept the child if it hadn't been for your son. And she didn't have to marry your son!"
"But even if your daughter hadn't married my son, she would also insist on keeping the child. How happy she would be if she were a single mother?"
"It's hard to be a single mother, but at least my grandson wouldn't die. Don't you forget how he died?"
Hu Hui's words nearly destroyed Lin Fengya. And Lin Fengya couldn't refute her.
Lin Fengya lost her usual composure.
"That kid... I don't want him to die either..."
"So your family owes my family two lives."
Hu Hui stood straight and didn't show any weakness in front of Lin Fengya.
She appeared to be stronger and more assertive than Lin Fengya.
Lin Fengya was shaking, "They were my family members too."
"I don't want to keep talking about it on the premise that your family stops disturbing his marriage life this time."
Lin Fengya was confused and looked at Hu Hui, "His marriage life this time?"
"Your son married Miss Bai. She is another girl from a normal family. But you'd better not play games like last time, or I'll make your and your son's life much harder."
Lin Fengya frowned.
Hu Hui didn't want to waste her time on the conversation, so she turned around and left.
Lin Fengya looked at Hu Hui's back. She rolled her eyes thoughtfully.
What was the relationship between Bai Shengsheng and Hu Hui?
Gu Baisheng didn't know whether Song Shuang kept her busy after dinner intentionally or unintentionally.She didn't find a chance to eavesdrop on Hu Hui and Lin Fengya's conversation.After she got everything done, she saw Hu Hui coming in with one hand on her temple and the other pushing the door."You're back, Auntie Hu."Gu Baisheng welcomed her.Hu Hui nodded.Song Shuang looked at her too, "Don't take what my mother said too seriously."Hu Hui nodded and had no intention to continue the conversation.On the contrary, she looked at Gu Baisheng deeply, "How have you been lately? How's your injury?"Gu Baisheng felt flattered when Hu Hui showed her concern, so she hurried to say, "My injury is fine, and I'm doing well. I didn't manage to visit you in the hospital because I was too busy with my job. Please forgive me."Her excuse of being too busy
Song Shuang was seriously injured, but staying in hospital was always not as comfortable as staying at home.Song Shuang was discharged from the hospital when he was almost recovered.On that day, Hu Hui and Lin Fengya showed up.When Song Shuang said that he would live at Jinshayuan, Lin Fengya was a bit surprised and asked, "Don't you always live at Haoting?"Haoting was the home purchased for Song Shuang and Gu Baisheng's marriage. It had been around eight years since Song Shuang first moved in.After all, Song Shuang got married seven years ago.And he moved in half a year before the wedding.Song Shuang replied carelessly, "It's too far away from the hospital."Lin Fengya knew that it was only his son's excuse.He had been living at Haoting with Gu Baisheng for more than seven years, even though it was far away from Second Hospital.Now Gu Bai
Christmas Eve was three days after Song Shuang getting discharged from the hospital.In order to make it more festive, Gu Baisheng bought some apples and dessert for Hu Hui.Hu Hui made some dumplings for their dinner, but she asked her to go back to Jinshayuan early.Gu Baisheng was asked to go home before the night came.Gu Baisheng thought that Hu Hui was her biological mother.But Xia Juan was the mother of Bai Shengsheng, and she needed to be taken care of too.And Bai Dahai was still in jail.Xia Juan must've felt really lost.It was a tough time for Xia Juan, so she bought some gifts and dessert to visit Xia Juan.Xia Juan just came home from work. She couldn't stop crying when she saw her daughter came to visit with lots of gifts. She rushed to her daughter and held her hand, "You finally come to visit me!"Gu Baisheng patted her back softl
Song Shuang's mind was all over the place.Shortly after he left the restaurant, he was stopped by Bai Qiong who was walking quickly before he arrived at the parking lot, "Song Shuang?"Bai Qiong's voice was beautiful. All the passers-by looked at them due to her sweet voice.Song Shuang didn't bother to pay attention.Although Bai Qiong was Bai Jinhang's younger daughter, her background was totally different from Bai Muwan's.Because Zhuo Wenqing was not Bai Jinhang's wife now.She was merely Bai Jinhang's mistress. Although Bai Jinhang acknowledged the kid, he never officially accepted Zhuo Wenqing.Although Bai Qiong seemed to be brought up and loved by Bai Jinhang, it was uncertain whether Bai Jinhang indeed loved her.He didn't know why his mother promised Zhuo Wenqing to let him meet up with Bai Qiong.His mother cared so much about the social status, and
Gu Baisheng felt sorry for Zhang Kai.She couldn't help gritting her teeth.Zhang Kai took a deep breath and felt wronged.Gu Baisheng was thinking that it was bad if Qu Xiaobo kept torturing Zhang Kai.Especially when she did that a lot because of her, she felt she was guilty.After thinking about it for a while, she asked the owner, "Do you have lamb spines?""Yes, we do.""We'll have a pot of it."Gu Baisheng ordered.The owner asked someone to prepare the dish immediately.Qu Xiaobo was still drinking.Zhang Kai dared not speak after getting slapped.Qu Xiaobo tried to drink down her sorrow. Gu Baisheng asked, "Didn't we agree to have lamb spines at Bai's Restaurant on Christmas Eve last year?"Qu Xiaobo's fingers shook while she was pouring beer.Gu Baisheng smiled, "Bai's Restaurant is too f
Zhang Kai sat aside and looked at Song Shuang's expression. He was afraid that Qu Xiaobo would babble.Qu Xiaobo and he had known Song Shuang and his wife for a decade. Gu Baisheng's death was a hard hit to Song Shuang, and Zhang Kai and Qu Xiaobo were all aware of that.Besides, they were still terrified when thinking about how Song Shuang went to Hancheng and brought back Gu Baisheng's body.Song Shuang acted like normal now, but that was only in front of others.Who knew how he would feel when he was alone?"Alright, Bobo, stop it."Zhang Kai tried to cover Qu Xiaobo's mouth.Yet Qu Xiaobo suddenly bit Zhang Kai's finger since she was drunk.Zhang Kai was hurt by the bite, so he quickly moved his hand away.Song Shuang also took down Qu Xiaobo's arm that was dragging him and gave her to Zhang Kai, "She's drunk. Take her back.""Oh, Ok." Zhang Kai held
Gu Baisheng found vinegar, sugar, and tea from the kitchen. She put them into a small pot and boiled them.After that was done, she also made a cup of honey lemonade.When she finished making the two, she put them on a tray and took them over to Song Shuang.Song Shuang was taking a shower in the second bedroom.Gu Baisheng put them on the cabinet by the bedside and then decided to leave.But when she was heading out, she remembered Song Shuang would have a headache when he drank too much.She thought about it and went to her room to find the mugwort incense warmer she brought from Haoting secretly.When she lit the mugwort stick, she put them in the small copper warmer. She put the warmer into a bag and tied it up. Then she put it on Song Shuang's bedside.She didn't think about it when she put it down.After she put it down, she was going to left.She j
Even though Gu Baisheng tried very hard to resist it.Song Shuang was still stronger than she.She was pressed on the soft mattress. Her clothes were torn off in the dark.The whole process made her terrified and lost.Her insecurity just provoked Song Shuang to control her even more. When he suddenly hurt her,Gu Baisheng remembered her first time.Technically, that was when she was still Gu Baisheng.She started crying dazedly. His kisses were so deep they almost suffocated her. She felt this experience coincided with Gu Baisheng's first time in every way.It was fierce, aggressive, yet also careful.She shouted out of pain, "It hurts... Song Shuang..."Song Shuang comforted her and held her even tighter, "I'm sorry, Shengsheng. I can't control myself."...The next morning when Song Shuang woke up.Gu Baisheng dis
