As Gu Zheng spoke, he went to pick up Gu Chen.
Neither of them noticed that when Gu Zheng mentioned the child, Xia Ran's gaze fell on the fruit salad scattered on the ground, and she fell silent.
How could Gu En, who had been observing all along, possibly let Gu Zheng actually bring the child over?
What if the child sees Xia Ran and Xia Ran really wakes up?
"Brother Zheng! You can't! You can't bring the child over. You know his condition. What if he gets scared when he sees Xia Ran like this?"
"Besides, you see, Xia Ran is fine now. He has calmed down and will be alright once his friends come to pick him up."
Gu Zheng stopped walking, and everyone's gaze fell on Xia Ran.
Indeed, Xia Ran has calmed down now, and her eyes no longer seem as broken and frantic as they were just now.
No one else dared to speak, only Qin Hao cautiously opened his mouth.
"Xia Ran, your friend is coming that day. Just wait a little longer, he'll be here soon. Don't be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ran gave a soft "hmm," then closed her eyes and looked at the wall, waiting for Da Zhuang.
He didn't seem to remember exactly what had happened. He only knew that his mind was in a mess and his heart was aching, as if someone was stabbing his heart with a knife.
Until he heard Dazhuang's phone call and saw the fruit salad on the ground...
Chapter 159 Xia Ran Leaves the Gu Family
Those fruit salads stung his heart, making him feel even worse.
His child was also a source of pain for him; the child he loved so dearly ended up with someone else's child.
No one will call him "Little Daddy" anymore, no one will cling to him anymore, it will all be over...
it's all over.
Time passed by, seemingly both incredibly slow and incredibly fast.
During this time, Gu Zheng's eyes never left Xia Ran.
Guilt, pain, and a hint of regret filled his heart.
Dazhuang arrived quickly, and Qin Hao, having timed it perfectly, went straight to the door to greet him.
Da Zhuang's name reflects his personality; he is tall and strong, with a large build, and exudes a sunny disposition.
However, his real name is not Dazhuang, but Yuming, a name that doesn't suit his appearance at all.
Dazhuang was his nickname, and Xia Ran found out about it and started calling him Dazhuang.
He rushed over to find Xia Ran as soon as he entered the door.
"Xia Ran".
Dazhuang followed Qin Hao in and was also stunned when he saw Xia Ran's appearance.
"Xia Ran, what's wrong? Don't be afraid." Da Zhuang didn't even have time to look at the others before squatting down in front of Xia Ran.
Xia Ran opened her eyes and looked at Da Zhuang, her gaze slowly beginning to focus.
"It's good that you came early today."
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do. His legs seem to have lost all strength; he can't even stand up, let alone walk.
"What exactly happened?" Dazhuang asked, his face filled with undisguised worry. "Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll help you fight back."
As he spoke, he looked up at Gu Zheng and the others, and it was only then that he noticed Gu Zheng.
Qin Hao briefly described Xia Ran's current mental state at the door, but didn't say anything else.
Upon seeing Gu Zheng, Yu Ming was momentarily stunned, and the words slipped out unconsciously.
"Are you Gu Zheng?"
Xia Ran, who was perfectly fine, grabbed Da Zhuang's hand the moment she heard the name Gu Zheng.
"No, it's not him, Dazhuang, go back, take me with you, I can't walk anymore, please take me with you."
Xia Ran held Da Zhuang's hand, his eyes filled with pleading, and Da Zhuang seemed to be the only piece of driftwood he could grab onto in this great flood.
"I don't want to stay here anymore, Dazhuang, please, take me away from here."
Hearing Xia Ran's words, even though Da Zhuang didn't know what had happened, he knew that the people here must have bullied Xia Ran.
"You just wait! If anything happens to Xia Ran, I won't let you off the hook!"
Xia Ran's strange behavior was so obvious, how could Da Zhuang not notice?
"Xia Ran, don't be afraid, I'll take you away." Da Zhuang approached Xia Ran and picked her up.
The moment Gu Zheng saw Da Zhuang pick up Xia Ran, his face instantly turned cold, but for some reason, he pursed his lips and held back.
"You're Xiaoran's friend, right?" Aunt Gu couldn't help but step forward. "Please take him to the hospital for a check-up right now. Tell us everything, he won't let me near him..."
"No! Don't tell them!" Xia Ran suddenly roared again, her voice trembling noticeably.
Aunt Gu was stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Qin Hao quickly grabbed his mother's hand and said,
"Mom, let them go."
At this point, letting Xia Ran leave is the best option.
Da Zhuang didn't care what Aunt Gu was saying and immediately carried Xia Ran out.
Gu Zheng pursed his lips and followed Qin Hao out. Qin Hao was worried about Gu Zheng, so he had no choice but to follow as well.
“I have a car, I have a hospital, I can get him treated quickly,” Gu Zheng couldn’t help but say.
Dazhuang instinctively stopped, but Xia Ran began to growl again.
"No! Get out of here! I don't want anything! I want to get out of here, I want to get out of here..."
Xia Ran's tears fell. He was clearly a tall man, over 1.7 meters, but now he was curled up in Da Zhuang's arms, giving off a strangely pitiful feeling.
"No need, I'll take him to see it."
Luckily, he had asked the taxi driver to stay behind just in case when he came, and now it's just as well.
Gu Zheng wanted to follow, but Qin Hao grabbed him.
"Enough, Gu Zheng! You're already divorced from him, what are you doing following him? Don't you know that following him will only cause him more pain?"
Qin Hao was also a little angry with Gu Zheng, so he called him by his name instead of calling him "brother".
Gu Zheng, who was about to follow, was startled by these words and finally stopped, but his eyes were fixed on the taxi.
Qin Hao dared not let go of Gu Zheng's hand and could only hold it tightly.
After Xia Ran was put in the taxi by Da Zhuang, she gradually calmed down, but her eyes were still blank. If you had to describe her in one word, it would be "distraught".
Dazhuang is in a very complicated mood. He has no idea what happened, but given Xia Ran's condition, the most important thing to do right now is to take her to the hospital.
"Driver, please go to the hospital quickly, my friend is sick."
"Okay," the driver replied and turned around.
Xia Ran suddenly looked out the window; he thought he had just heard Gu Chen crying.
"Xia Ran, what's wrong?" Da Zhuang asked cautiously, looking at Xia Ran's appearance.
"N-nothing, it's nothing..."
Xia Ran muttered to herself, then sat back down, her eyes returning to a blank state.
Dazhuang was extremely worried watching from the side. He wanted to ask Xia Ran what had happened, but he definitely couldn't ask in Xia Ran's current state.
As the car gradually left the Gu family's house, Xia Ran once again turned her gaze to the window.
He had lived here for a very long time, and he knew everything about it intimately, but today he discovered that it was all a joke…
Gu Zheng watched the taxi drive away, but Xia Ran's image grew deeper and deeper in his mind. This time, a strong sense of regret welled up in his heart.
Yes, he regretted it. Should he not have divorced Xia Ran? His aunt was right. What would he do if something really happened to Xia Ran?
Qin Hao had already let go of his hand, but seeing Gu Zheng still staring at the gate, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Now you're free. You can be with Gu En however you want. You no longer need us to keep it a secret from Xia Ran."
Aunt Gu was helped out by Qin Hao's father, her eyes still red.
Their worst fears came true.
Chapter 160 Gu Chen is in trouble
Xia Ran learned everything, and now she regarded them all as enemies.
The thought of Xia Ran's appearance just now caused Aunt Gu's heart to ache.
"Qin Hao, go out with them and see which hospital they went to. Make sure you know Xiao Ran's condition. You can pay all the fees later."
Qin Hao nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I've already written down the taxi's license plate number. I'll check it later."
Gu Zheng was still looking in the direction of the main gate. Seeing this, Aunt Gu spoke up directly.
"What? You regret it now? Let me tell you, it's no use regretting it now. Xia Ran has nothing to do with you anymore. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you are his enemy now!"
Aunt Gu was really angry, otherwise she wouldn't have said such things to Gu Zheng. After all, he was her nephew whom she had watched grow up, and she loved him more than anyone else.
However, Gu Zheng's actions these days have really made her feel somewhat disheartened.
Gu Zheng didn't react at all to Aunt Gu's words, but Gu En came out from behind leaning on his cane.
“Aunt, please... stop blaming Zheng Ge. He didn't want to either. He doesn't like Xia Ran. Aren't you making things difficult for him by forcing him to be with Xia Ran?”
Gu En's words made Aunt Gu and the others turn around and look over.
Aunt Gu now makes no attempt to hide her dislike for Gu En.
"Gu En, you'd better keep a low profile now. If I find out you're up to something again, don't blame me for not giving Gu Zheng face."
This time, Gu Zheng didn't speak up for Gu En. Instead, he lowered his head, lost in thought.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was ignoring him, Gu En felt a pang of sadness, but he still looked hurt on the surface.
