CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 993: A STARK CONTRAST

"Mingzhu, it’s great that you think this way. Rest assured, Daddy will save you, the doctor will save you." Gu Hai looked at his daughter’s face, truly hoping she would get better.

"Thank you, Daddy. Daddy is so good."

Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Hai with admiration. After Gu Hai left, Gu Mingzhu started reaching out to her old classmates. A few of them came to the hospital to visit her, including a boy who used to have a crush on Gu Mingzhu, Jin Yuanbao.

His name sounds rustic, and he looks as rustic as his name. His family is in the seafood business, rumored to have made quite a bit of money.

The details of Gu Mingzhu’s divorce are unknown to outsiders. Jiang Jing is a silent type, saying nothing. After the divorce, Jiang Jing left, and Gu Mingzhu was vague, only saying it was her fault.

For a while, several people indignantly condemned Jiang Jing, especially Jin Yuanbao, who used to like Gu Mingzhu a lot back then. However, he only dared to have a secret crush on her, not even daring to confess.

There was no way; compared to Gu Mingzhu, he didn’t even have the courage to stand next to her.

As soon as he heard she was sick, Jin Yuanbao eagerly came over, bringing something very tacky—a thousand yuan. Fearing she wouldn’t accept it, he even brought a few classmates to make up the numbers.

"Thank you all for coming to see me," Gu Mingzhu said gratefully, looking at the big red envelope. The polite words came out especially beautifully, and finally, Gu Mingzhu said, "If you really want to help me, could you see if anyone needs to buy fabric? The quality of our family’s fabric is particularly good."

Gu Mingzhu looked at them pleadingly. She was already beautiful, and now, because of her illness, her face was sickly pale, which made her eyes appear particularly large, giving off a frail, pitiful look.

Jin Yuanbao always liked Gu Mingzhu and couldn’t stand to see her like this. He said, "Mingzhu, don’t worry, we are all classmates. I will definitely help you."

The other classmates also chimed in, saying they would help sell the fabric. It’s something they could help with, just a matter of selling more or less.

...

"Mom, does she not want to come?" Gu Mingzhu saw Fang Yue return alone, and deep down, she understood. It seems her sister doesn’t like the Gu Family.

Well, the Xu Family has so many people who love her, and then there’s her partner...

Every time Gu Mingzhu thought of Xu Nianhua’s face with that radiant smile of happiness, a surge of indescribable jealousy rose in her heart.

"Don’t mention it."

Fang Yue thought about being criticized by so many people at the Xu Family, saying she wasn’t fit to be a mom, saying she was blind...

Fang Yue was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. She scolded Xu Nianhua for being unfilial, criticizing Bai Sheng’s daughter, then looking at Gu Mingzhu’s pale face, she consoled her, "Mingzhu, don’t be sad. Mom will definitely help you and won’t let anything happen to you."

"Thank you, Mom." Gu Mingzhu looked at Fang Yue with gratitude, fully reliant on her, a stark contrast to Xu Nianhua. She held Fang Yue’s hand and sighed, "Mom, it’s a pity I can’t always be with you in the future. If anything happens to me, don’t be sad. Don’t hurt yourself because of me. I’ll talk to my sister and make sure she takes good care of you."

Gu Mingzhu’s words, full of concern for Fang Yue, made Fang Yue feel extremely touched. Fang Yue, who was initially indecisive, made up her mind now, saying, "Mingzhu, don’t worry, nothing will happen to you."
