Chapter 2271: Chapter 2073: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing
After losing her parents, she chose to escape, hiding in a war-torn no-man’s land, narrowly escaping death several times before letting go of her hatred and returning.
Even so, she never managed to live like an ordinary person and laugh like Cui Jiangjing.
She hid in a narrow alley, immersing herself in her own world every day. To put it bluntly, whether she returned to Capital City or not didn’t make a difference; she still hadn’t contacted the outside world.
Cui Hao’s complexion was terrible, as white as paper, completely devoid of color. With Huo Xiahe’s support, he barely stood upright, but his spirit was entirely gone.
"Do you still hate me now?"
Cui Jiangjing’s pitch-black eyes, cool and indifferent, no longer smiled, much more mature. After a long while, he lifted his thin lips and said, "You are my father. Whether I want it or not, you gave me life and let me grow up without worries. Everyone in this world can hate you, but I have no right to hate you."
Cui Hao tightly closed his eyes, a wave of sorrow in his chest, with a bitter smile, "Not hating, but still unwilling, right?"
So that’s how it is.
The brat didn’t want to return because he didn’t want to see him. He, as a father, had failed so much. His daughter had jumped to her death, and his son didn’t want to face him anymore...
Sorrow welled up in his heart, his vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before falling down stiffly.
"Dad!"
Cui Jiangjing’s expression changed sharply. He quickly walked over to support the man who was about to fall.
"Mr. Cui, don’t scare me. Can you hear my voice? Say something, sob sob, I’m... I’m scared..."
Huo Xiahe kept calling out Cui Hao’s name beside him.
The noise gave Cui Jiangjing a headache. He raised his head, his usually gentle eyes uncharacteristically angry, and shouted, "Be quiet!"
At this moment, Gu Linxi came over with car keys, calmly saying to the anxious man, "I drove here. Carry him to my car, and I’ll take you to the hospital!"
"Okay."
Cui Jiangjing hated this man but couldn’t sever their blood ties. When this man, who filled him with hatred and unwillingness, collapsed before him, he felt no satisfaction, only guilt and distress.
Gu Linxi drove all the way at top speed, flooring the accelerator. An hour-long journey was cut to half an hour as she ran eighteen red lights to reach the hospital.
Cui Jiangjing was in the back seat giving Cui Hao emergency treatment. As soon as they arrived, Kangfei Hospital’s expert medical staff immediately lifted him onto a gurney and rushed inside.
The emergency room light stayed on for two full hours before turning from red to green. Fortunately, Cui Hao was not in serious danger. It was only due to temporary emotional agitation causing excess brain blood flow that he vomited blood and fainted. The doctors performed brain surgery to remove the blood clot from his skull, and he had been sent to a VIP ward.
Gu Linxi was the first to stand from the chair, patting the silent man’s shoulder beside her. With lowered eyes, she softly said, "Let’s go, go see your dad."
Cui Jiangjing wiped his face with his hand, pressing his lips tightly. His eyes were disoriented and bewildered, "Xixi, hug me."
Gu Linxi paused in place for a few seconds, then suddenly leaned down, extending her arms to embrace his waist, much like a mother hugging a wayward child, softly patting his back to comfort him, "Cui Jiangjing, it’s not your fault."
"Your sister’s situation isn’t your fault either. You just didn’t have time. She never blamed you; her last words to you weren’t to rebuke you. She wanted you to live happily and joyfully rather than in the shadows."
