Chapter 5
Going Home
“She’s dead, aaahhh!” The screams sounded again. Wang Wang did not give up and wanted to frame Gu Teng’s death on Yunbao. “She died in childbirth in order to give birth to a jinx!”
When Old Master Gu heard this, his eyes instantly turned red.
They had already investigated. It was clearly because Wang Wang found out that Gu Teng was pregnant with a girl and did not buy nutritional supplements for Gu Teng during her pregnancy. She did not even have enough normal nutrition. That was why Gu Teng had a difficult labor and her body was injured. She passed away at a young age.
He didn’t expect Wang Wang to still refuse to take responsibility at a time like this. Gu Ji was heartbroken.
Seeing that his father was in a bad state, Gu Lin quickly asked his brothers to bring their father away from this environment.
“You’d better pray that there’s nothing wrong with Yunbao’s body. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
After Gu Lin finished speaking, he took the baseball bat that Gu Jia had left in the room and swung his arm to break all the windows in the house. The cold wind instantly rushed in, causing Wang Wang to tremble involuntarily.
His jacket had already been taken away. He wanted to curl up into a ball so that he would at least be warmer, but because his entire body was fractured, he could only lie on the ground.
Gu Lin even felt that he was being merciful. After all, Yunbao was lying alone in the snow. This was considered letting him off easy.
“Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him die.”
“Yes.”
The surgery lasted for more than four hours before Yunbao was pushed out of the operating theater.
“Her life is no longer in danger.” Gu Peng also walked out. “She only needs to rest well next.”
At this moment, Gu Lin also received an urgent DNA test. It was true that Yunbao was a child of the Gu family.
“Beep… beep… beep…”
The sound of the equipment entered Yunbao’s ears. Her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. What greeted her eyes were a few unfamiliar adults.
“Yunbao! You’re finally awake!” One of the men rushed over excitedly. He was still wearing the doctor’s white coat.
When Yunbao saw the man approaching, she subconsciously moved back, making Gu Peng stop in his tracks.
The girl’s grape-like eyes carefully assessed her surroundings. The chronic malnutrition made her look small. Her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. Her cautious and pitiful appearance made everyone’s hearts ache.
Gu Lin walked forward and squatted in front of the bed so that his gaze was level with Yunbao’s.
“Good Yunbao, don’t be afraid. My name is Gu Lin. I’m your eldest uncle. Do you remember? You called me before.”
Gu Lin controlled his voice and tried to be as gentle as possible, afraid that he would scare the little kid.
“I remember.” After a long time, Yunbao said quietly, “Are you really my uncles?”
Yunbao’s careful manner made the adults’ hearts ache. Previously, they had only heard about Yunbao’s experiences. Now that they saw Yunbao’s appearance, they wished they could cut Wang Wang into a thousand pieces.
“It’s true. Is your mother called Gu Teng? We’re her brothers.” Gu Lin pointed at Old Master Gu, who was sitting at the side. “This is Yunbao’s grandfather.”
Yunbao looked at Old Master Gu timidly, but immediately lowered her gaze after meeting his eyes. Looking at her appearance, no one would believe that she wasn’t abused.
“What’s wrong?”
“Yunbao didn’t push Auntie Hong.” Yunbao was still conflicted about this matter. She lowered her head aggrievedly and grabbed the bedsheet uneasily, worried that her uncles, who she had just met, would think that she was a bad child.
“Your uncles believe you! Yunbao is a good child. Of course you wouldn’t do such a thing!”
Yunbao’s eyes lit up. It was the first time she had shown a child’s expression after being awake for so long, but then she said sadly, “But Daddy doesn’t believe Yunbao…”
“It’s okay. We won’t see him again. Let’s go home!”
Gu Lin reached out and rubbed Yunbao’s head. This time, she did not dodge, but her tears fell uncontrollably. All her grievances surged out like a floodgate.
In the end, she was only a three-year-old child. This was the first time anyone believed her.
Yunbao was still hesitant, as if she had something to say.
Home. Was Yunbao going to have a home? Would they treat her like her father did? Or abandon her again?
