Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Extending Life Once More

At the joyful wedding banquet, Mr. Gu suddenly collapsed, and the atmosphere immediately turned chaotic.

Zuzi walked through the confused crowd, her gaze falling on Mr. Gu’s old and weary face, her eyes gradually becoming stern.

Was it the Peace Spell she gave to Bao Gucheng that backfired on the old man?

Or was it because the old man defied fate last time, and now he had to repay it?

Everything in the world comes at a price.

No happiness can come out of thin air.

The joyful gathering of the Gu Family’s three generations could not possibly last indefinitely.

Gu Qiusha leaned on the old man’s shoulder, crying uncontrollably, "Dad, Dad, you promised you’d see me and my brother rebuild our families, so the kids would have their own places to belong. You still need to hold your great-granddaughter... You can’t leave like this, you can’t turn my wedding into a memorial day. If that’s the case, I’d rather never get married, boohoo...

Zuzi’s heart moved.

Fine, the Ancestor will help Xiao Bei one more time. Xiao Sha is right; we can’t let the wedding become a day of mourning.

She sighed softly, took out a "candy," placed it in Mr. Gu’s mouth, and lightly tapped her fingers in the air. A dark glow swiftly entered Mr. Gu’s Yin Tang point.

Like a candle being replenished with oil, Mr. Gu slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of light returning to them.

"Silly child, you shouldn’t cry at a wedding..."

The first thing the old man did upon waking up was to worry about his daughter’s wedding, using his rough fingers to wipe away the tears falling from her eyes.

Gu Qiusha cried even harder, "Dad, it’s all my fault for being immature, for making you angry when I was little, and for worrying you now..."

Mr. Gu gave a bitter smile, "Silly child, being parents is like that, giving birth to a child for a hundred years, worrying ninety-nine. That’s also the meaning of being parents, it’s nothing... You will be the same with Zuzi and the others in the future."

The once chaotic guests now silently returned to their seats, resonating with this father-daughter conversation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly instructed the servants to continue serving food and to take good care of the guests.

Still not at ease, he arranged for a car and tried to persuade the old man to go to the hospital for a check-up, to see what the problem really was.

Of course, the old man refused to go.

"I don’t want to go to the hospital. I hate hospitals."

No one could persuade him.

Gu Qiusha had no choice but to seek help from Zuzi again, "Zuzi, please persuade your grandfather, his health can’t be delayed like this, it’s too dangerous."

Zuzi’s "Candy Pills" might be miraculous, but what if the old man suddenly fell ill one day and couldn’t take them in time, or his condition worsened with no effect?

At the very least, in the hospital, he could be rescued.

Unexpectedly,

Zuzi spoke slowly, "Xiao Shan likes to be at home, so let him stay at home."

No soul likes their body to lie on a cold hospital bed when they pass away.

Gu Qiusha was stunned, not expecting Zuzi to go along with the old man’s nonsense.

Mr. Gu felt quite relieved instead, "Zuzi understands me. You all don’t need to fuss. I know that there is a limit to life. This illness has been dragging on for too many years; it’s impossible to continue living indefinitely. Do you want me to live like an old demon? Tonight, being able to see Sha Sha and Xiao Yu get married is the greatest wish of my life. Moreover, my children all have their own places to belong. I’ve fulfilled my duty as a father, and I haven’t lived in vain. Let everything follow fate."

Mr. Bo, sitting beside him, also wiped his tears at those words.

"You’ve accomplished everything, with no regrets in life. As for me, my two good-for-nothing sons still don’t have their places to belong. I can’t close my eyes, I have to hold on until Gucheng gets married!... Speaking of that stinky boy Bao Gucheng, the banquet is almost over, and he still hasn’t come back. What’s he up to? Where are Chen Long and Yin Hu? Tell them to bring that stinky boy over!"

Mr. Bo’s vigorous, booming voice lightened the somber mood at the scene.

Chen Long and Yin Hu soon arrived, very surprised, "Mr. Bo wasn’t at the banquet? We’ve been outside guarding the whole time and didn’t see him go out."
