After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 115 Making a fuss out of a molehill
Upon hearing his agreement, Du Minghua hurriedly said, "Second floor of the inpatient department, first ward."

After hanging up the phone, Du Minghua's expression softened slightly as he walked into the ward: "I've brought the person over for you."

Du Lan was completely exhausted. Last night, she stubbornly stood in the yard and got soaked in the rain for half the night. She didn't want to marry Duan Nanhe, but the elders of the Duan family agreed. Both she and Duan Nanhe looked unhappy at the time.

Duan Nanhe publicly rejected the marriage proposal and left the banquet. She felt much relieved. When she got home, she had a big fight with her parents. She only wanted Gu Xijue, she really only wanted him...

“Oh, husband, maybe we should just let it go,” Mrs. Du said, her face full of disapproval. “Gu Xijue has a wife. If Lanlan continues to get entangled with him, our Du family will become a laughing stock in Haicheng.”

It's hard to tell which of Madam Du's words were true and which were false.

Du Minghua glanced at Du Lan indifferently: "Didn't she say she'd rather die than give up on Gu Xijue?"

After saying that, he left the ward directly. Madam Gu reached out and patted her daughter's hand, who was lying on the hospital bed, and comforted her, "It's good that he came. It's time to put an end to this."

"Mom, I don't want to break up with him. I like him."

Duran cried, tears streaming down his face, and he looked incredibly vulnerable.

Seeing her like this, Madam Du comforted her again: "I know you like him, but he doesn't like you, daughter. Don't hang yourself on one tree. There's a whole forest of options for you to choose from..."

He appeared to be comforting his daughter, but in reality, he was dropping a bombshell on her.

The Du couple are adept at playing the good cop and the bad cop.

"I don't want the forest, I just want my senior brother as my tree!" Duran's eyes were sparkling. Although she still had a fever reducer on her forehead, the doctor wanted to give her an IV, but she didn't because of her lack of cooperation.

"Then you need to figure out how to get this tree." Madam Du looked at her and said, seemingly casually, "Daughter, your father and I also hope you can be happy, you know?"

"I..." Duran opened his mouth, looked at Mrs. Du in front of him, and finally asked, "Mom, what should I do?"

Madam Du's eyes seemed to see right through her, and she said casually, "You should think about it carefully yourself. I don't know either."

"However, if you want to get a man's attention, it's also important to cater to his preferences. After all, he's a man."

She spoke meaningfully, her lips parting and closing, finally...

Something flashed in Du Lan's eyes, but she felt it was inappropriate. She bit her lip and was about to speak again when Madam Du comforted her, "Daughter, you must be patient to get good things."

"But I only have two weeks left before school starts. Even if I try to impress my seniors, it won't last long."

This is where she felt most desperate. She had originally thought that feelings would develop over time, and that by showing her face to him every day, she might develop feelings for him. Duran was very confident in her looks.

Indeed, she was quite beautiful. In fact, Du Lan thought she was prettier than Song Jin'an.

"These two weeks are your final deadline, Lanlan," Madam Du continued. If she still couldn't snag the Gu family, Du Minghua would hand her over to other wealthy young men.

When Gu Xijue arrived at the hospital and came to Dulando's ward, he first saw the worried figures of Du Minghua and his wife.

Seeing him arrive, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Xijue, you've come."

Gu Xijue spoke, glancing at the closed hospital room door: "What's wrong with Miss Du?"

"What happened?"

Du Minghua glanced around the room: "She's still not awake."

He took another long breath and said softly, "Xijue, I'll get straight to the point, Lanlan likes you." Gu Xijue's gaze darkened, and he replied, "I have a family."

These four words were a fatal blow, but Du Minghua was completely unconcerned. Of course, he knew that the man in front of him had a wife and children.

“She likes you, and I’ve made it clear to her that you have a wife and children, so tell her to give up on that idea, or wait for you to get a divorce. Last night, she got anxious and went out into the yard to get caught in the rain, which caused her to develop a fever.”

"She won't cooperate with taking medicine or getting injections or IV drips. You should try to persuade her."

Gu Xijue frowned: "Uncle Du, I am not a doctor."

He found this kind of talk ridiculous; if you're sick, you should see a doctor, not him.

Madam Du also spoke up, her voice gentle and soft, with a hint of apology: "I know this is abrupt, but Lanlan really likes you, and we as parents don't want to push her into a corner."

“Her father and I had tried to forcefully interrupt her feelings for you, but it didn’t work well, and we were quite helpless.”

Mrs. Du acted as if she and her husband only had this one daughter and doted on her.

Gu Xijue frowned deeply. His attitude spoke volumes, and he guessed the couple's intentions: they wanted him to see Du Lan lying in the hospital bed and feel sorry for her...

However, he has never been a man who would feel sorry for strangers.

He also doesn't like being forced to compromise. He compromised in his first marriage, and at that time he thought there would never be a second time.

Without thinking, he remained silent for a moment and then asked, "Uncle Du, what do you want me to do?"

"Go in and talk to her, let her take her medicine and get her injection," Madam Du said first, her tone as gentle as ever.

"Xijue, once you go in, Lanlan's inner conflict might be resolved." After she finished speaking, she added, "Auntie, thank you for coming."

Gu Xijue's expression was not good, but he still decided to push open the door of the ward. He immediately saw Du Lan with his eyes closed. His face was as red as a Fuji apple. He looked very serious, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.

After all, he was also afraid that if this matter was not handled properly, there would be bad consequences.

When Gu Xijue walked to the bedside, Du Lan, who had been keeping her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes and saw him.

There were only the two of them in the room. Du Minghua and his wife were standing outside the door. Gu Xijue looked at her and frowned: "I think I made that clear to you yesterday."

He has always liked intelligent people, but Durant is not, at least not now.

Duran opened his dry throat, his eyes welling up with tears: "I'm sorry..."

"I didn't expect Mom and Dad to still send you."

Gu Xijue bent down and pressed the nurse call button by the bedside. A moment later, the nurse came in.

Then came a flurry of activity: feeding her medicine, giving her injections, and administering IV fluids. The whole process took only ten minutes. Du Lan quietly let the medical staff do as they pleased. Gu Xijue tried to leave halfway through, but was stopped by Xu Ruo's voice and decided to stay put.

After the medical staff left, Duran's eyes revealed undisguised delight.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, Mom and Dad are making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm fine. It's no wonder you made this special trip for me."
