Abandoned on a stormy night, I divorced and remarried into a wealthy family.

Inside the Gu family's old mansion, Gu Huizhou stood in Tingzhu Pavilion. The servants outside had urged him to leave twice, but he still hadn't left.

The servants standing at the door dared not urge them any further. All the servants of the Gu family knew that it was here that Master Gu had made his decision.

The Gu family members are always in a bad mood whenever they come here.

They dared not offend this Gu family head who had finally returned to power.

It's no wonder the young master didn't want to come back; Old Madam Gu was just too anxious about his marriage, and she used every trick in the book, from feigning illness to playing the victim.

Today, I'm still using the same old trick of feigning illness.

It wasn't until the old lady's servants went to invite him for the third time that Gu Huizhou finally came out of Tingzhu Pavilion.

Grandma Gu leaned against the headboard of the carved bed, watching Gu Huizhou enter from outside. Smelling the scent of bamboo on him, she dismissed the servants and beckoned him to sit beside the bed, saying, "Why did you go to Tingzhu Garden again?"

Gu Huizhou remained silent, simply sitting upright beside Old Madam Gu's bed.

Grandma Gu straightened up slightly, looking at her grandson who never showed his emotions, and she was also very troubled.

If she weren't afraid that the Gu family bloodline would end in her hands, she wouldn't need to pretend to be sick every few days.

You can't even practice Tai Chi.

My whole body is unbearably itchy.

Grandma Gu held his hand, her face kind and gentle, and asked, "Zhou'er, what made you decide to acquire Dekang?"

Gu Huizhou glanced at the old lady, who was feigning illness but speaking with a strong voice, with a gloomy expression.

Perhaps realizing her mistake, Old Mrs. Gu immediately hummed softly, her voice softening slightly, "I was just asking. It just so happens that I haven't been feeling well lately. We have a best ward reserved for me, so why don't I go in and rest?"

"Anyway, there's no one to keep this lonely old woman company at home!"

Gu Huizhou listened to Old Madam Gu's words without saying a word.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome face expressionless, like a completely cold-blooded animal.

Grandma Gu knew her grandson best; he was cold on the outside but soft on the inside. When she acted, he would stop talking and wouldn't participate in the play, which was incredibly boring.

She remembered that when Gu Huizhou was three or four years old, he was a mischievous boy; he dug all the holes in the garden.

It's all those two's fault; they raised his eldest grandson into an emotionless work machine.

Furthermore, with Gu Huaihua gone, she now places all her hopes on this grandson.

She can't close her eyes in peace until he gets married.

Faced with Gu Huizhou's refusal to take the role, Old Madam Gu didn't mince words, patting his hand and saying, "The acquisition is great! I heard they even have the most advanced ventilators inside, but I wonder who they're for, and whether an old woman like me is even qualified to use one?"

As she spoke, she gestured towards her throat, "Do I need to make a hole here before I can move in?"

Gu Huizhou, who had been keeping a cold face, finally laughed out of exasperation at the old lady. "Alright, your acting is still so bad! Isn't having a top-notch medical team at home enough for you?"

Seeing her grandson smile, Grandma Gu immediately got up from the bedside to get down to business, "Zhou'er, you are the only heir of the Gu family. With the Gu family's current status, I don't care who you marry, nor do I need you to go through marriage to gain benefits."

"You can like anyone, but you absolutely cannot like a married woman."

Gu Huizhou raised an eyebrow, slowly getting up from the edge of the bed, his gaze still coldly fixed on Old Madam Gu. "Do I look like the kind of person who would knowingly become a mistress?"

"What kind of woman can't I, Gu Huizhou, have? Why would I covet another man's wife?"

Grandma Gu looked up at Gu Huizhou and saw that his expression remained unchanged, still indifferent and aloof, as if nothing had happened.

But she was his grandmother, and no one knew him better than her.

He has never shown any interest in unprofitable industries, yet he acquired Dekang, which had been losing money for years, and spent a lot of money to equip it with the most advanced ventilators, which are not even open to the public.

This operation was something his wife really couldn't understand.

If you said it was left for her, she wouldn't even believe it.

The Gu family's medical team is among the best in the country.

Why would you need to specifically buy a sanatorium?

Not only did they buy a sanatorium, but they also gave away the hospital room that the Gu family had reserved for a hundred years.

Gu Huizhou was never a compassionate or worried person.

He knew all along that the person who needed the ward was Song Qintang's biological mother, Lu Pingping, but he still broke the Gu family's old rules and gave her the ward. Even though he had already arranged a ward for her, he still left her a way out by specially buying the Dekang Sanatorium.

As Lu Pingping's second choice.

She's 81, not 18.

Trying to lie to her?!

The people around Gu Huizhou are tight-lipped, but it wouldn't be difficult for her to find out.

If Gu Huizhou is unwilling to admit something, Old Madam Gu knows it, and no one can force him to admit it.

She looked at him: "I heard your car broke down in front of the Wu family's house a couple of days ago?"

Gu Huizhou frowned as he looked at Old Madam Gu. He didn't like being watched all the time when it came to his affairs.

Grandma Gu saw the meaning in Gu Huizhou's eyes and said, "You don't need to look at me like that. I know about this. Although the Wu family is a small family, you are an important person. Even if I didn't inquire, someone would have told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you today."

After saying that, Old Madam Gu frowned, her eyes unusually serious: "Zhou'er, the reason I insisted on calling you here today is to remind you that Song girl is already married and is the rightful Mrs. Wu."

"I know if you still have feelings for her, you can definitely win her back, but you can't do something like this."

"Whether you're using this as an excuse to suppress someone or Haoqi Auto Repair is simply not qualified to cooperate with the Bai family, I hope you'll handle this officially and not ruin someone else's future under any pretext."

"Zhou'er, we members of the Gu family cannot do such a thing."

Gu Huizhou's prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

In the gloomy atmosphere, he pursed his lips tightly.

If he wanted to ruin Wu Haoqi, he had countless ways to do so.

If he wanted to possess Song Qintang, he would still have countless ways to prevent her from marrying.

Even if Song Qintang resists, he has many ways to make her obey.

He could manipulate Song Qintang because of her many weaknesses. She was soft-hearted, and he could even use methods to control her.

But he never bothered to do that.

She made her choice that year, and he wouldn't force her.

He wouldn't actively seek any connection with her.

Gu Huizhou looked at Old Madam Gu, and after a long silence, he finally spoke: "I am currently in charge of Bai's Technology. My evaluation of the cooperation team is none of anyone else's business."

"I always handle business strictly by the book."

Hearing Gu Huizhou's words, Old Mrs. Gu finally felt relieved.

Given Gu Huizhou's cold nature, if he were to offer another explanation, it would basically be the truth.

The Gu family's enduring prosperity is attributed to its strict family precepts, which is why the Gu family has always been able to stand strong.

Relieved, Old Mrs. Gu's expression softened with a smile. She stopped feigning illness and, full of energy, got out of bed and walked to Gu Huizhou, saying, "I'm planning a flower banquet next Saturday to invite people to see the flowers in our garden. Do you have time?"
