After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage - Chapter 715:
Chapter 715: Chapter 715: So You’re Here to Take Regret Medicine?
Mr. Lin asked over the phone, “Mr. Gu suddenly came to visit, what brings you here?”
Gu Zhichuan asked, “Did you know Gantang is going to register for marriage?”
“Register? Oh, I know, with Yanqing, right? What’s it to you? Ah, I mean, what is it you need?”
Gu Zhichuan stared ahead at the road, his gaze chilling, “Do you know about Wen Yanqing’s condition?”
“Blind, I know. It’s fine as long as Gantang likes him.”
Gu Zhichuan’s gaze darkened, “It’s not just blindness. As far as I know, he’s been concealing from Gantang that he went for an examination. The doctor said he has a neurological problem, currently of unknown cause, which might affect other functions. Did he tell you or Gantang about this?”
The voice on the other end of the phone stopped.
“Now you know, but I’m not sure if Gantang is aware. Right now, she’s set on registering with Wen Yanqing, but if Wen Yanqing were not ill, it would be one thing. However, given his current condition… Uncle, aren’t you afraid Gantang will be unhappy in the future?”
“What exactly are you getting at by telling me all this so suddenly?” Mr. Lin asked.
Gu Zhichuan gripped the steering wheel, somewhat nervously, “I like Gantang, truly, with all my heart. There’s no one else by my side. I love only her wholeheartedly. Uncle, could you give me another chance?”
“You should be asking Gantang.”
“She’s very responsive to you right now,” Gu Zhichuan threw out an offer: “I want to get back together with her. I can put up the entirety of my shares in Gu Corporation, properties under my name, and my funds as a dowry to marry her.”
“You young man Gu, are you here to take your regret medicine?”
Gu Zhichuan said, “Uncle, you can consider it slowly, but Gantang is thinking of registering now. Don’t you want to call her back, take a look at Wen Yanqing’s condition, and then come to a decision?”
“Without discussing anything else, I don’t need to think about your desire to marry Tangtang. I can give you the answer right now.”
“Uncle, what do you think about me…”
“What the hell are you thinking! Get lost!”
Thinking he could go back after not cherishing her before? Wishful thinking!
Mr. Lin hung up the phone with a snap.
Gu Zhichuan looked at the phone, thinking of calling again, but Mrs. Gu’s call came in urgently.
Gu Zhichuan answered the call with an impatient look.
“I couldn’t reach you for ages, who were you talking to?”
Gu Zhichuan did not reply, “Get on with it.”
“Is that how you speak to your mother? My head is killing me. The specialist you accompanied me to see last time was no good. Find me another doctor who’s more capable.”
Mrs. Gu, while talking, groaned in pain, “I should never have lied to you about my headaches before, now it’s come true. Ouch, it hurts so badly. I’ve run out of the medicine from before. Hurry back and take me to the hospital.”
“I still have things to do.”
“Do you not care about your mother’s life or death? Don’t you, as a son, have any filial piety? Mother really…”
Mrs. Gu started to fade out as she spoke.
“Mum? Mum!”
With no response, Gu Zhichuan’s heart tightened suddenly. He stepped on the gas and rushed towards home.
After Gu Zhichuan left, Lin Gantang finally had some peace.
She stood by the roadside for a while, trying to dispel the anger and resentment towards Gu Zhichuan that had arisen within her.
His chasing after her to the Civil Affairs Bureau somewhat affected her emotions.
She suddenly thought of her past life, and his interferance seemed utterly ridiculous to her.
Once the heart has moved on, there’s no turning back; who would want to get close to someone who has hurt them in the past?
Because of Gu Zhichuan in the past, she even feared marriage.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, some people entered joyfully in pairs, while some left coldly and separately. Lin Gantang knew what marriage could be like within those walls, but because it was with Wen Yanqing, she thought she wouldn’t regret entering again..
