Chapter 49 She couldn't afford his feelings.
"He's been drinking heavily every day for the past three years, and his stomach has been ruined long ago." Gu Lin roughly guessed the condition. "It's probably a perforated stomach. He won't die, but if he doesn't take good care of himself, the probability of it developing into cancer is quite high."
Wen Shu also felt a pang of sadness.
He really doesn't take care of his body.
However, things should gradually get better after he marries Xia Yini.
"As long as they don't die."
Gu Lin: ...
This doesn't sound like human language.
"Wen Shuyi, are you really unaware, or are you pretending?"
Wen Shuyi blinked, frowned, and asked, "What?"
"Sheng Tingwang has been drinking heavily every day for the past three years. Isn't it because you dumped her? How come you're acting like nothing happened?" Gu Lin didn't want to interfere in other people's relationships, but he was genuinely angry with Wen Shuyi. "Since you both have a child, why don't you each take a step back and make up? Stop acting like you're in a melodrama all the time. Aren't you tired of it?"
Wen Shuyi: ...
Is he accusing her?
It was clearly Sheng Tingwang who was getting engaged and marrying someone else, not her who found a better match.
"Dr. Gu, Sheng Tingwang and the Xia family are about to get married. Didn't you know that? He's starting a new life. If I reconcile with him, what will I become? Will I never be respectable? Will I always have to be by his side whenever he needs me? Do you think that's what I want?"
Wen Shuyi's pretty face gleamed with a cold light.
She didn't necessarily want to argue with Gu Lin about the grievances she had suffered in this relationship.
She's just a woman.
What she wanted was a home.
A person who loves her very much, a person who is devoted to her, a haven for her.
Is Sheng Ting being presumptuous?
She couldn't afford his feelings.
They can't afford to play games either.
After taking a deep breath, Wen Shuyi's breathing became calm.
"Back then, he held the truth about my parents' deaths, and he never intended to tell me until Sheng Zongjie was arrested. He hid my younger brother, preventing me from seeing him, and then claimed he hadn't found him. This deception, treating me like a fool, shouldn't I hate and resent him? Is it something that can be dismissed with a laugh?"
"Dr. Gu, you are Sheng Tingwang's friend, so naturally you only see him being hurt and wronged. But the truth is, in the story between him and me, I only lied to him once, while he lied to me at least three times."
"If we're talking about who's pitiful, I'm the most pitiful one. Don't feel sorry for him; I don't owe him anything."
Wen Shu also delivered a speech.
Gu Lin moved his lips, unsure how to continue.
He had heard Sheng Tingwang recount some of the things Xu Chuyin forced Wen Shuyi to do back then.
There's clearly a misunderstanding here, and misunderstandings can be cleared up. Why make it so complicated? "I know there are many things you can't control, but Tingwang's feelings for you are genuine. Can't you see that?"
Wen Shuyi smiled.
It's quite ironic.
"If he were truly in love with me, he should have searched the whole world for me over the past three years, whether to explain himself or to demand an explanation from me. He would have wanted an answer, but he didn't."
"If he truly still had feelings for me, he wouldn't have gone through with the marriage alliance with the Xia family, let alone be engaged to Xia Yini next month. Dr. Gu, you're not young anymore. You can't be so naive as to think a man would give up a perfectly good marriage prospect for a fleeting infatuation, can you?"
Gu Lin: ...
He learned his lesson.
It seems he can't find a reason to refute it.
"Perhaps he has his reasons."
"Everyone has their own troubles. You only see his troubles, but you ignore theirs. Is that appropriate?"
Gu Lin was forced to retreat steadily after being rebuked.
He never thought Wen Shuyi was a quick-witted person.
Now I've seen it for myself.
People really do change.
Whether it's the woman in front of you or the man in the emergency room.
They are all changing.
But in his eyes as an observer, were they pure or impure?
The lights in the emergency room went out.
A nurse wheeled Sheng Tingwang out.
He used anesthesia, and the person is still unconscious.
Gu Lin quickened his pace and went to greet the emergency room doctor, asking, "Dr. Song, how are you? Are you alright?"
"His stomach problem is quite serious. If it's not taken good care of, it could lead to serious complications." Dr. Song removed her mask. "Is this your friend?"
"Childhood friend".
"Then you must give them a good talking to. They're so young. If they're unlucky and really get cancer, then things will be very difficult."
Gu Lin nodded. "I will try to persuade him."
Sheng Tingwang was taken to the ward.
Wen Shu didn't go in either. Instead, he called Xia Yini and told her about Sheng Tingwang's situation.
They sounded quite anxious.
In less than half an hour, he appeared at the hospital.
"Shuyi, what happened to Tingwang? How could he suddenly..."
Wen Shuyi explained casually, "He drank too much and has a stomach hemorrhage. You go and take care of him. I won't stay. I have to go back to take care of the baby."
"Thank you for your hard work, Shuyi."
"No, then I'll be going."
Wen Shuyi said goodbye to Xia Yini and then left the hospital.
Instead of leaving immediately, she lit a cigarette in a sheltered spot by the courtyard gate and slowly smoked it.
She hasn't smoked in years.
I don't know why, but I just want to smoke one today.
It's very pungent.
It choked her so much that tears came to her eyes.
Gu Lin gazed at her slender back from afar, the red light at her fingertips flickering as if it were saying something.
Is it painful?
What era are we living in?
Love openly and honestly.
If you don't love someone, just say so.
Why torture each other?
If one remains silent and the other offers no explanation, allowing misunderstandings to accumulate and escalate, the two people's hearts will drift further and further apart.
For some reason, Gu Lin felt a jumble of emotions.
After returning home.
Wen Shuyi went to the kitchen to cook some stomach-soothing porridge and asked Aunt Wang to deliver it to Sheng Tingwang.
I repeatedly told her not to tell Aunt Wang that she was the one who cooked it.
But Sheng Tingwang recognized the familiar taste as soon as he took the first sip.
"Aunt Wang, did you cook this porridge?"
Aunt Wang had never lied, so when asked this, she actually felt a little guilty. "Did Third Master not like the taste? Should I brew another batch?"
"You didn't make it?"
Aunt Wang panicked and immediately admitted, "It was Xiao Wen who made it. Is it because his cooking skills are not good? If you don't like it, I'll go back and make it for you right away."
"fine."
The man had an unusually good appetite.
I've drunk about 70-80% of the porridge.
Xia Yini was afraid he would overeat, but dared not say more, so she said tactfully, "It seems that Wen Shuyi's cooking skills are better than Aunt Wang's. This porridge is almost gone."
Aunt Wang grinned awkwardly.
Sheng Tingwang remained silent.
After finishing the drink, I lay down to rest.
Zhang Lun walked in, glanced at the man on the hospital bed, and said to Xia Yini, "Miss Xia, Third Master needs to rest now. Why don't you go back? If you stay here, he will have to take care of you and won't be able to rest properly."
Xia Yini didn't want to leave.
But Zhang Lun's point is valid.
She didn't insist any further, saying, "Then I'll come see him another day and let him rest and recover properly."
"I'll take you back, Miss Xia," Zhang Lun gestured for her to leave.
Xia Yini nodded slightly and then left with Zhang Lun.
Aunt Wang packed up her lunchbox and went home.
Wen Shuyi is reading a fairy tale book with Duoduo.
Seeing Aunt Wang come in, I asked, "Aunt Wang, has he drunk his porridge?"
