Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 500: Never Able to See Through Him (5)

"I’m really happy right now," Xia Yinian wanted to smile at him, but for some reason, she couldn’t.

Perhaps it was because Grandma Gu was still inside, and the situation had not yet been settled, which made her unable to feel good.

"I’m fine, really."

She finally managed a smile, though it was indeed somewhat forced.

"Nian Nian..." Gu Lingqian wanted to say something, but tonight, the atmosphere had been very strange. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Perhaps it should be said, from the moment she returned, the atmosphere has remained strange up until now, and the two could hardly have a conversation.

Silently facing each other, not knowing what to say.

Then, after who knows how long, Gu Beicheng came out.

"How is it?" The Old Master immediately went up to him.

Everyone else, including Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian, all went over.

Gu Beicheng’s face showed no expression, and his voice was very faint: "It’s nothing, she’s asleep now, just let the doctor take care of her."

"What exactly causes the vomiting blood?"

"Her bodily functions started to decline for some unknown reason two days ago, I have already discussed this with the Old Master."

The doctor was also sweating coldly, his fingers trembling with nervousness when facing the Old Master.

"Maybe it’s due to some distressing matter, I observe the Old Madam’s mood is also gloomy, but she is unwilling to speak."

The doctor’s words were clear to the Old Master, but, everything was fine previously, so why the sudden change.

"Is there any way to improve the situation? Wasn’t she getting better before?"

Facing the Old Madam’s illness, the Old Master was completely out of options.

The once haughty and superior ruler of the Gu Family, now, could only pray to the heavens for his wife to get better.

Apart from praying, he could do nothing at all.

"Previously, when the Old Madam was in a good mood, her health was indeed improving, but for some reason, these past two days..."

"Perhaps it’s because there’s been no happy events at home lately."

Gu Beicheng said this calmly, but if one knew him well, they would see the dim lightlessness beneath his composure.

Was his heart, like his eyes, devoid of any luster?

As soon as Gu Beicheng uttered these words, the Old Master’s gaze immediately fell on Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian.

"Advance your engagement party."

His tone wasn’t heavy; in fact, it wasn’t in the tone of an order.

In that moment, it was more of a feeling of helplessness.

Perhaps, he didn’t particularly like Xia Yinian as a granddaughter-in-law, but now, he was at his wit’s end.

"Grandpa, Nian Nian and I..." Gu Lingqian tried to say something, but what could he say at this moment?

Yet, Nian Nian and Uncle had already cleared up their misunderstanding, and since the misunderstanding was no longer there, should they not reconcile as before?

Nian Nian belongs to Uncle... At this time, what does it mean for him to still get engaged to Nian Nian?

"I will discuss the specific date with your Grandma, that’s all for now, it’s getting late, everyone go back and rest."

In the end, the Old Master went into the medical room with the doctor.

Outside, the wind blew, and all was silent.

A while passed, and Gu Beicheng said indifferently: "Go back and rest."

Afterward, he turned to leave.

But Gu Lingqian followed him: "Uncle, is there something else... that needs to be said?"

He intended to ask, if there was something that should be said to Nian Nian.

But Gu Beicheng didn’t even turn his head, his silhouette stiff and cold: "Go back and rest."
