I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

Seeing her serious expression, Gu Jingshen asked, "What's wrong?"

"I heard that she is going to Qingzhou."

Gu Jingshen didn't mention Lin Tingran sending him a message, but only asked her what she planned to do.

"I want to go with her." Jiang Xuxu wanted to make the trip.

Firstly, because Lin's parents had taken good care of her, and secondly, because she wanted more opportunities to find out about her biological parents.

"I'll go with you," Gu Jingshen suggested.

He had barely finished speaking when Lin Tingran called, "Brother Jingshen, can you come with me to Qingzhou? I have news about Mom and Dad."

Gu Jingshen nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lin Tingran acted as if she hadn't seen anything the night before, and the group boarded a flight to Qingzhou as if nothing had happened.

That evening, the three arrived at the scene of the incident and, after asking around, finally found the victim information registration office.

Upon seeing her father, Lin Zongyao's name, listed among the victims, Lin Tingran nearly fainted.

"Ms. Lin, please accept our condolences. Your father's body is still at the funeral home and requires a family member's signature before cremation."

Upon seeing Lin Zongyao's body, Jiang Xuxu and Lin Tingran almost fainted.

Gu Jingshen quickly helped Jiang Xuxu up, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Xuxu looked at Lin Tingran, who was already kneeling silently before her father's body, weeping.

"Dad...how could this happen? I'm so sorry..."

Jiang Xuxu stepped forward to comfort her, but she threw herself into Gu Jingshen's arms and cried bitterly, "Jingshen, I don't have a father anymore..."

Lin's mother, Zhuo Manqing, is seriously injured and is still in the hospital, where she has not yet regained consciousness.

They soon visited Zhuo Manqing at the hospital, and Lin Zongyao was cremated the following afternoon.

The doctor informed them that Zhuo Manqing's condition was not optimistic; if she did not wake up within three days, she might become a vegetable.

For the past three days, Jiang Xuxu and Gu Jingshen have been staying with Lin Tingran.

From the lost and found, they found Lin Zongyao's last words in his memo.

[Jing Shen, if your aunt and I unfortunately perish, please don't despise Ting Ran; please take good care of her no matter what.]

Lin Tingran was crying her eyes out while clutching her broken phone. Jiang Xuxu gave Gu Jingshen a wink, signaling him to go and keep her company.

Gu Jingshen was unwilling, but out of consideration for the care that Lin's parents had given him, he had no choice but to comfort Lin Tingran.

"Listen, everything is still alright, Xuxu and I are here for you."

"She's not doing well right now. You take her to a hotel to rest, and I'll go to the hospital to see Aunt Lin."

He looked tenderly at Jiang Xuxu behind him, then carried Lin Tingran to the car and drove to the hotel.

Jiang Xuxu then took a taxi to the hospital.

The doctor said that Zhuo Manqing could wake up at any time in the next two days, but Lin Tingran was in very poor condition and had a cold.

Staying by Zhuo Manqing's bedside is the best option for Jiang Xuxu, and she also hopes to wait until Zhuo Manqing wakes up.

After two days of trying, Zhuo Manqing showed no signs of waking up. Gu Jingshen also advised her to go back to the hotel to rest, but Jiang Xuxu refused no matter what.

"I'm fine, I'll stay here... and wait for Aunt Lin to wake up for Tingran."

Gu Jingshen couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to wait with her.

Lin Tingran's cold worsened, and she received intravenous fluids for two days while resting at the hotel.

During this time, Lu Chen came to visit her.

The two embraced tightly upon meeting. "Ah Chen, did I do something wrong?"

Lu Chen gently patted her back to comfort her, "You're not wrong, they're the ones who are wrong."

The last time Jiang Xuxu fell ill at Lin Tingran's house, her mother told her to heat up some milk for Jiang Xuxu that night, and that's when she realized something was wrong.

She sneaked into the study in the middle of the night and found the paternity test report between her mother and Jiang Xuxu in the safe.

The blood relationship is as high as 99.99%!

At that moment, Lin Tingran's world collapsed.

She couldn't believe that her parents, who had doted on her since childhood, were actually Jiang Xuxu's biological parents!

Moreover, Jiang Xuxu made that report when she was 16 years old and had just entered high school.

That's why they treated Jiang Xuxu so well, to the point that Lin Tingran sometimes felt envious and jealous.

She originally thought her parents were just happy that she had found a kindred spirit, so that she, as an only child, wouldn't be too lonely.

That evening, Lin Tingran called her parents to test their reaction, but they gave her a perfunctory answer.

Upon learning that they would have to get up early the next day to drive to Qingzhou, Lin Tingran and Lu Chen secretly plotted this traffic accident.

As for the memo instructing Gu Jingshen to take good care of her, that was obviously fake.

The goal was to keep Gu Jingshen by her side.

In the hospital, Jiang Xuxu was applying ointment to Zhuo Manqing's body when Gu Jingshen politely withdrew and took a phone call in the corridor.

"Mr. Gu, the investigation into your car accident has been completed; it was deliberately caused by someone..."

"Okay, gather all the evidence. I'll contact you again if necessary. By the way, could you also investigate the traffic accident on Qingzhou Bridge?"

After explaining the details, Gu Jingshen hung up the phone and went to the ward door.

Jiang Xuxu chatted with Zhuo Manqing while trimming her nails.

They looked like a mother and daughter.

Gu Jingshen picked up his phone and made another call, "Help me investigate the Lin family from twenty years ago..."

Jiang Xuxu was so engrossed in trimming Zhuo Manqing's nails that she accidentally cut her flesh.

Blood seeped from her cold fingertips, and Jiang Xuxu quickly found some iodine swabs to disinfect and wipe them.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Did I hurt you...?"

Just as she was in a flurry of activity, Zhuo Manqing's fingertips twitched.

She captured this scene.

Jiang Xuxu was overjoyed and put down the items in her hands to quickly approach and call out to her.

"Aunt Lin, it's me, Xuxu. Can you hear me?"

She kept speaking close to Zhuo Manqing's ear, hoping to awaken her consciousness.

Finally, five minutes later, she saw Zhuo Manqing slowly open her eyes.

"Xu...Xu..."

"Aunt Lin! You're really awake? That's wonderful! I'll call Tingran right away!"

As Jiang Xuxu spoke, she took out her phone, but before she could dial, Zhuo Manqing reached out and pressed her hand down, saying, "No."

Her voice was extremely soft and weak.

Jiang Xuxu leaned closer and asked, "Auntie, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"No...don't look for...Tingran..."

"Don't look for Tingran? Why? Auntie, Tingran is very worried about you."

Before Jiang Xuxu could finish speaking, Zhuo Manqing fainted again, and no matter how Jiang Xuxu called out to her, there was no response.

He regained his composure in the hospital bed.

Jiang Xuxu even suspected that she had just been hallucinating because she had stayed up all night.

That's when she remembered to call a doctor.

After a thorough examination, the doctor said that she had indeed shown signs of waking up, but her injuries were too severe, and she had fainted again.

"Doctor, when will she wake up again?"

"I don't know. The family should be prepared for the worst at any time. We will do our best."

The doctor left after speaking, and Jiang Xuxu sat back down in her chair, looking lost in thought.

That evening, Lin Tingran came over for a quick look before going back to the hotel to sleep.

Gu Jingshen saw her off.

As soon as they entered the hotel room, Lin Tingran turned around and hugged Gu Jingshen tightly.

"Jing Shen, I'm so scared, I'm afraid Mom will never wake up again."

She started crying as she spoke.

Gu Jingshen pried her hand away, frowning in displeasure: "The doctor said that Auntie might wake up at any time, we should trust her. You should rest well and go to the hospital tomorrow."

Lin Tingran asked Gu Jingshen to stay with her, but he refused.

"I'm worried about Xuxu being alone in the hospital."

But Lin Tingran insisted on making him stay, crying and making a scene to prevent him from leaving, otherwise she would cut her wrists and jump off the building.

Seeing that she was emotional, Gu Jingshen had no choice but to sit down and calm her down.

At the hospital, Jiang Xuxu saw that Gu Jingshen hadn't returned yet, so she had to go to the water dispenser to get hot water herself.

As soon as she entered the hot water room, someone stood behind her.
