C152 Acting
Jiang Juan's words, "Su Mo and I only have a work-related relationship," were like a pebble, disrupting Gu Qingyou's originally calm heart.
"The doctor is out. . . "
The housekeeper's call pulled Gu Qingyou back from her thoughts that she had been immersed in for a long time.
Director Jiang said softly, "Let's go and see your mother. "
Gu Qingyou nodded.
After Mrs Jiang finished the "surgery," she was transferred from the operating theater to the ICU. She was now lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Of course, Mrs Jiang's disguise was very similar. All kinds of tubes were inserted into her body. It was simply shocking. If she did not know that Mrs Jiang was only acting at this moment, she would not have been able to tell from Mrs Jiang's current state that she was only acting.
"The doctor said that after the anesthesia is over, your mother will wake up. But you can't talk to your mother for too long. . . " Director Jiang looked at his wife who was lying on the bed with a pair of eyes full of love. His voice was mixed with some tiredness.
Since she had secretly reached an agreement with Jiang Juan, Gu Qingyou did not show any signs of seeing through it. She looked at Director Jiang with a caring gaze. "Dad, you also did not sleep for the whole night. Why don't you go home and rest first? I will wait here for mom to wake up. "
"I'm fine. . . " Director Jiang's pained eyes still didn't move away from his wife.
Director Jiang's acting was also very good. This made Gu Qingyou feel even more guilty in her heart. If the two old men did not wish for her and Mu Mu to stay, they would not have put in so much effort.
"Dad, let's go back and rest. . . " Gu Qingyou still tried to persuade him in a soft voice. "Jiang Juan is here too. You don't need to worry about him at all. If Mom wakes up, I will ask the housekeeper to call you. "
"Alright!" Director Jiang sighed lightly. "Father is old, and his body is indeed a little tired. Then you and Jiang Juan will stay here and watch over your mom. But if your mom wakes up, you must call me as soon as possible and tell me. "
"Okay. Dad, you should go back and rest. "
"Okay," Wang Yao said.
Director Jiang stood by the bed and watched for a while before he left.
Gu Qingyou knew Mrs Jiang was very smart and she did not dare to let Mrs Jiang notice that she already knew that she was acting, so she reached out and gently pulled the blanket for Mrs Jiang.
Mrs Jiang's closed eyes trembled slightly.
Gu Qingyou caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye but she continued to remain calm and quietly guard the bedside.
Suddenly, Jiang Juan walked in from outside.
Jiang Juan had put in a lot of effort for his mother's health. He had seriously asked Director Jiang about his mother's condition just now, as if he was cooperating with his mother to put on an act in front of her.
Gu Qingyou only gave Jiang Juan a glance before continuing to look at Mrs Jiang who was lying on the bed.
At this moment, the ward was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it was as if only Mrs Jiang's steady breathing was left.
Jiang Juan was the first to break the silence, but it was obvious that he had opened the conversation to let Mrs Jiang know that he was trying his best to cooperate.
In other words, he wanted her to act for Mrs Jiang to see.
"Have you considered staying?"
Jiang Juan's naturally cold voice was faintly heard.
Gu Qingyou's fingers on her knees moved slightly. "I am already used to living in London, and I have no reason to stay. " Even if it was an act, her heart would still tremble when she heard his question.
"Mom's health has been bad these few years. " Jiang Juan stared at her side profile and said in a low voice. "If you can stay, I believe it will be beneficial to her body. "
Gu Qingyou saw Mrs Jiang's eyelashes tremble again. She closed her eyes and said with a smile as if she was sad, "I know, but I believe you will take good care of mom. "
"If you insist on leaving, I will respect your choice. But you and I could have given the child a healthy family. Why must we make the child the only victim of our relationship?" Jiang Juan's tone was steady, and every word seemed to come out of his mouth.
Gu Qingyou lifted her eyes and looked at Jiang Juan with slight astonishment, but inadvertently fell into Jiang Juan's dark eyes that were getting deeper and deeper.
It seemed that he was only putting on an act in front of her mother at this moment, but his words were deeply shocked in her heart.
You and I could have given the child a healthy family, but why did you insist on making the child the only victim of our relationship?
What he said was repeated in her ears, making her unable to get over it for a long time.
Jiang Juan looked at Gu Qingyou's slightly pale face and continued, "You should consider the child. . . Do you really want me to fight you for custody of the child after this?"
Gu Qingyou sat at the edge of the bed in a daze. Was what he said true? Would he fight with her for custody of the child in the future?
She glared at him, but her eyes were filled with fear.
So even if she had decided to stay until Mrs Jiang performed the surgery three months later, he was still unwilling to give the custody of the child to her?
She asked with her gaze.
Jiang Juan looked at her eyes. What she was thinking in her heart was clear at a glance. However, he did not give her a clear response.
Gu Qingyou's clear eyes were filled with intense emotions. She stared at him more and more.
He just looked at her determined eyes, which were determined to obtain the custody of the child. Something seemed to flash in his dark eyes and he himself did not notice it.
Gu Qingyou waited for a long time. In her heart, she did not believe that he would make things difficult for her like this.
Finally, Jiang Juan shook his head at her.
Seeing that he gave a clear answer, her hanging heart finally relaxed.
She was grateful that he did not make her suffer when it came to the child.
In the end, she was still the Jiang Juan who would not hurt her.
Gu Qingyou used her eyes to express her gratitude to him. Then, she took a light breath and continued to play the trick. "The child is mine. You have no right to fight for the custody of the child with me. "
"You know, with my ability, it will be easy for me to obtain the child's custody. "
"Do you really want to force me like this?"
"If you don't want to think for the child, then you can only go that far. . . Of course, if you are willing to stay with the child, the future will be bright for you and the child. "
"Clear?" Gu Qingyou deliberately used a disdainful tone and said, "You are threatening me now. If I choose to leave, will you make my future unclear?"
"Yes, fighting with me for the custody of the child will be a difficult time for you. In the end, you will not be able to get the custody of the child. This will cause you to live in pain and regret for the rest of your life " Jiang Juan said calmly.
Gu Qingyou lifted her eyelids again and looked at him.
Jiang Juan's deep black eyes gave her a trace of gentleness.
Confirming that he was still acting and his gentle gaze revealed that he would fulfill his promise to her, she did not panic anymore and pretended to be angry, "Jiang Juan, don't go too far!"
"Is that so?" Her words were sarcastic, but Jiang Juan looked at her calmly. "I think you are the one who has gone too far. You have taken away my right to be a father. "
Gu Qingyou was stunned.
At this point, the show could be finished, but what Jiang Juan said made Gu Qingyou really stunned on the edge of the bed. She seemed to have taken away his right to be a father. . .
Jiang Juan coldly turned around and prepared to leave.
Gu Qingyou stared at Jiang Juan's tall and straight back, her heart mourning.
Jiang Juan took a step in front of his long legs and finally said, "Think about it carefully. . . A road from Kang Zhuang, or a road that is dark and sunless, it is up to you to decide. " After saying that, Jiang Juan left the ward without looking back.
Gu Qingyou slightly grabbed her knee.
Although she knew that he was acting, what he said made her feel pain.
He was the father of the child, but she took away his right to be a father.
. . .
Mrs Jiang chose to wake up five hours after the surgery. It was already close to noon.
"Mom. . . "
Gu Qingyou saw Mrs Jiang slowly open her eyes and quickly got up from the chair beside her.
Although Mrs Jiang lied to her, she understood Mrs Jiang's thoughts. She would not blame the old man but she felt even more guilty in her heart. All of this started because of her, so even if she accompanied the old man without sleep or rest, she would not have a single complaint.
Mrs Jiang's breath was hanging by a thread, "Qingyou. . . "
Seeing Mrs Jiang reach out her hand from under the blanket, Gu Qingyou tightly held onto it. "Mom, I am here. . . "
"I thought I was dreaming just now. I thought you would only be by Mom's side in a dream. . . "
Gu Qingyou's nose felt a little sour. "Mom, this is not a dream. I am by your side. Mu Mu is also at home. . . " What right did she have to make Mrs Jiang love her so much?
"Qingyou. . . "
"Hmm?" Gu Qingyou covered her face with Mrs Jiang's hand. "Mom, don't talk too much. You just finished the surgery and the doctor said you can't talk too much. . . "
"Qingyou. . . " Mrs Jiang looked at her weakly. Her voice was slow and hoarse because she was powerless. "Mommy is begging you for one thing, is that okay?"
"Mom, please say. . . "
"I want you to promise me first. "
"Mom, no matter what you want me to do, I promise you. "
"Really?"
"[Really. . . ]"
"Then I want you and Mu Mu to stay in Jiang Family. You and Jiang Juan will have an extended wedding three years ago. "
"Mom. . . " Gu Qingyou's voice was hoarse. Jiang Juan was right. Mrs Jiang actually made such a request to her. "This matter, I. . . "
"Qingyou. . . " Mrs Jiang's eyes gradually became wet.
Gu Qingyou's eyes also turned red. Although they had already discussed it with Jiang Juan, thinking about how they would one day disappoint Mrs Jiang, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Mrs Jiang sobbed and said, "Mommy never begged you. . . Can you promise Mommy?"
Gu Qingyou did not answer immediately because this way it would not arouse Mrs Jiang's suspicion.
"Jiang Juan did not want to get back together with Su Mo. He has been single for the past few years and sometimes he is really lonely. He needs you to be by his side. . . " Mrs Jiang's soft voice barely managed to finish her words.
Gu Qingyou's nose was sour. "Mom. . . "0
"You don't believe what I said? He really doesn't want to get back together with Su Mo. He no longer has Su Mo in his heart. . . "
"I believe what you said, Mom. As long as you are willing to treat your body actively, I promise you. . . I promise you to stay. . . "
