"If I could wake up early, how could I let you suffer so much injustice?"
After he woke up, he heard what Chu Zhaoyang said about what Chu Jiahong and Xiang Yulan had done, and he was almost too angry to beat them up.
Even if he found Gu Nian, he didn't want Gu Nian to be with Chu Zhaoyang anymore.
His daughter risked her life to save Chu Zhaoyang, but was so ruined by his parents.
What father could bear it?
"But when I woke up, I couldn't find you. For the past year, I couldn't walk and couldn't find you in person, so I used all the power I had at hand to find reliable detectives I could find. But there is still no news at all."
"My injury, after a year of recovery, actually won't be as bad as it is now." Gu Licheng said slowly, "It's just that when I thought that you didn't know where I was, you didn't know the truth, and you thought I was a kidnapper. You couldn't hold your head up. I thought that I owed you more than twenty years and could not take good care of you and protect you. After I woke up, I finally regained my identity, but I even lost my wife and daughter. "
"It's only with this kind of mood that I can get back to where I am now."
Listening to what Gu Licheng said about the injury, Gu Nian knew very well that it took him three to five years to recover from an injury, but he recovered to his current condition in one year, and how much pain he had experienced in the process.
"I was able to walk again a week ago. But I can't walk for too long. Now I'm on crutches, but I can manage." Gu Licheng cautiously smiled at the mother and daughter opposite.
"Lanshu, Nian Nian, you...can you give me a chance to compensate you? Let me take care of you and protect you. No one can gossip about you anymore. Let me be filial to my two elders."
Mu Lanshu pursed her lips and said nothing until Gu Licheng stood up on his crutches and walked over cautiously.
He knelt down and slowly reached out is hand, carefully holding Mu Lanshu's hand.
Mu Lanshu lowered her eyes and saw that their hands were no longer young.
His hands gradually began to show signs of spots, and they were not as delicate and elastic as when he was young.
The hand covering the back of his hand was covered with large and small scars. Although the bones were still distinct, it was even more embarrassing than hers.
A tear fell from Mu Lanshu's eyes and hit the back of Gu Licheng's hand.
Gu Licheng's hand trembled obviously, but he held her hand tighter.
"Woo..." A whimper overflowed from Mu Lanshu's mouth.
She raised her other hand and covered her face.
Having raised Gu Nian alone, so many years of grievances suddenly burst out at this moment.
"I'm sorry." Gu Licheng choked, "I'm sorry for being away from you for so long."
The people he felt most sorry for in his life were Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian.
"Lanshu, you are right to blame me. Please give me a chance to make amends and let me take good care of you in the future."
Mu Lanshu took her hand and suddenly hit Gu Licheng hard.
Once again, it was a slap and a fist.
She wanted to vent all the grievances she have felt over the years.
She hit her hard, but Gu Licheng didn't hide.
She hit on the body, it was impossible not to hurt.
But these pains were nothing compared to the grievances suffered by Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian?
Just receiving these beatings would be an advantage for him.
Mu Lanshu was speechless, thrashing, and suddenly burst into tears.
She cried until she broke her voice. No matter how she cried, she couldn't help but cry about her own suffering.
He abandoned his home for the sake of national justice.
She was angry, she hated it.
But what could she say?
What he did was a good thing. Even though she was angry and resentful, she couldn't hate it anymore.
The only way to beat him was to relieve her anger.
After all, this was the man she loved. The man who she was not willing to call the police because she thought he had made a big mistake at first, was Gu Nian's father.
She couldn't do it for her to have no contact with him again.
After more than twenty years of hard work, she finally got him back.
But the unwillingness in her heart also wanted to be vented.
The little guy was frightened and ran to Gu Nian, calling in a low voice: "Mom."
With tears in her eyes, Gu Nian held the little guy on her lap.
She didn't expect that the man from three years ago was her father.
Three years ago, they met but didn't know each other.
Looking at this man covered in wounds now, she had imagined countless times how tall and majestic her father looked.
Looking at him now, he was far from what she had imagined.
But it didn't detract from his tall image.
"Mom." The little guy raised his hand to wipe Gu Nian's tears, and then looked at Mu Lanshu worriedly.
Gu Nian hugged him and whispered, "Let grandma cry. Once she's done crying, she'll be fine."
The little guy didn't quite understand, but he was obedient and said nothing, quietly watching these adults who were behaving strangely.
Mu Lanshu was tired of beating and crying.
Gradually, the sound disappeared.
Gu Licheng looked at her nervously and asked softly: "Lanshu, Gu Nian, can you... give me another chance? I will definitely take good care of you and never let you be wronged again."
"Will you...will leave again?" Mu Lanshu asked crying.
Gu Licheng quickly replied: "I'm not leaving, and I'll never leave again."
Gu Licheng moved his crutch: "Look at me now, where can I go? Moreover, I have been lurking for more than 20 years, which was enough. When I come back this time, I will never leave again."
"Actually, when I woke up, the appointment came down from above. In a few days, I will officially be promoted and become the director of the General Bureau of City B. But because of my physical condition, I have been doing rehabilitation, and I can't go there in a wheelchair and be the director."
"That's why Director Cheng has been acting as director. He will be promoted when I am better." Director Cheng was quite interesting. In order to help him retain the position, he forced himself to hold off on the chance of promotion.
