Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 914: Repaying Kindness

The next morning, Ji Wei came to the hospital as usual. When she pushed open the door to the ward, she unexpectedly saw Zhao Wanqing.

Zhao Wanqing was wearing a business suit, standing by Gu Zhizhou’s bed, reading the contents recorded in her small notebook.

Since Gu Zhizhou fell into a coma after the accident, she would come to visit him every now and then and report to him on the Gu Family’s operations at the British branch, which had become a habit.

Noticing a figure approaching her, Zhao Wanqing abruptly turned her head.

Seeing it was Ji Wei, she smiled slightly, casually closed the notebook, and raised her eyebrows at her, saying, "Has your romantic Mediterranean trip with Mr. Gu ended so soon?"

"We rushed back when we heard dad might wake up," Ji Wei explained.

"Yes, I just returned from a business trip. Since everyone is in London, it’s much easier to get together for a meal."

Zhao Wanqing spoke as she walked to the sofa, put the notebook back in her handbag, and then put on her tan cashmere coat.

"Leaving already?" Ji Wei couldn’t help but ask when she saw this.

She actually wanted to confirm something about Zhao Wanfang with Zhao Wanqing.

"There are matters at the company, I need to head back first. You’ve worked hard taking care of Chairman Gu these days."

Ji Wei had the words on the tip of her tongue but still didn’t ask.

Zhao Wanqing nodded at her and walked out of the ward in high heels. After a couple of steps, as if she remembered something, she suddenly turned back, habitually brushing aside a strand of curled hair.

"By the way, my mom told me she visited you at the hospital yesterday. She said you look a lot like my aunt, equally beautiful and elegant."

Ji Wei was startled, feeling inexplicably a bit sad: "Sorry, when my aunt had a conflict with Gu Moqian’s mother yesterday, I didn’t stop it in time... How is her health?"

Recalling Zhao Wanfang being led away by a nurse, a hint of worry crossed her mind.

"My mom’s health has never been very good, it’s an old problem."

Zhao Wanqing concealed the sharp look in her eyes and tugged at her lips: "You don’t need to feel sorry, I’m used to things like that."

Ji Wei was somewhat moved.

Remembering what Gu Moqian said last night, she thought, have Nan Huiru and others made things difficult for their mother and daughter all these years?

"Actually, there’s something I can’t understand." She gathered courage, raised her head to look Zhao Wanqing straight in the eye, "Since you know Mo Qian’s mother targets you everywhere, why not leave the Gu Family?"

Zhao Wanqing pressed her lips together, turned her head to glance at the still-closed-eyed Gu Zhizhou on the bed, her tone somewhat distant: "It’s to repay a kindness."

Repaying a kindness?

Ji Wei was surprised by this answer.

"Chairman Gu lent a helping hand to our family at the hardest time, helped my mom when she was most helpless. Without this person, I might have been a stillborn then, and my mom might not have survived alone either."

As if recalling some unbearable past, a look of pain surfaced on Zhao Wanqing’s face.

Ji Wei stood there staring at her, speechless for a long time.

So they stayed completely out of gratitude to their lifesaver, not like Nan Huiru suspected, having some shady relationships.

The ward remained quiet for a while, until Zhao Wanqing spoke first: "Since you’re here in Britain, you can take some time to visit my mom. She should be able to tell you more about your mother."

At that moment, Zhao Wanqing’s face returned to the confident and composed look of an intellectual woman, as if the previous sadness never existed.
