CHAPTER 1428: CHAPTER 1428: DON’T MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OTHERS

The most baffling thing is that she keeps saying all sorts of inexplicable things to Guan Yuqi from time to time, acting all self-important as if that would make others hold her in higher regard.

But speaking of this, the Sun Family mother and daughter can be said to have finally overcome their hardships.

A while ago, her mother seemingly couldn’t bear it any longer. The couple completely fell out, and Sun Yu’s mother packed her things and moved out, staying in her eldest sister’s old house for the time being.

Perhaps it’s karma, or just fate paying back its debts—Sun Gang fell and injured himself on his way home and was taken to the hospital.

When Sun Yu’s mother rushed to the hospital after hearing the news, the doctor informed her that he had suffered a stroke and likely wouldn’t be able to take care of himself moving forward.

After staying by his side in the hospital for over half a month, upon returning home, it was either this going wrong or that going wrong—he found fault with everything.

This time, Sun Yu’s mother completely lost it. She gave him two options: divorce or move into a nursing home. Either way, she wasn’t going to serve him anymore.

The next day, Sun Gang agreed to go to the nursing home but pleaded with Sun Yu’s mother to visit him often.

And so, just a couple of days ago, he was sent off.

Now that no one will be oppressing Sun Yu anymore, who knows if she’ll change her annoying personality.

Guan Yuqi came home and told her parents about her visit to the Gu Family today, along with repeating Stone’s words.

Finally, she also conveyed Gu Qianru’s intentions before sitting down silently.

The Guan parents exchanged a glance, and Father Guan, Guan Anshan, spoke: "Zheng Lei truly is a good kid. Although his family situation is a bit complex, since you like him, your mom and I won’t stand in your way. The reason we previously demanded a house was to ensure you’d have a better life after marriage."

Guan Yuqi snuggled up to Guan Anshan’s arm and playfully said, "I knew Dad was the best."

Sitting nearby, Qiu Xiaochan let out a deliberate cough.

Guan Yuqi dashed over ingratiatingly: "You’re the best mom in the world too!"

Qiu Xiaochan let out a soft "Humph": "Finally, you’ve said something honest. If you were the daughter of the Sun Family next door, you wouldn’t be so lucky."

Guan Anshan quietly reminded, "Let’s refrain from saying those kinds of things—what if the Sun Family overhears? How are we supposed to get along afterward?"

Qiu Xiaochan nodded, "That was my fault; I won’t bring it up again."

Guan Yuqi recounted the teasing remarks Sun Yu made to her downstairs earlier to her parents, adding, "Zheng Lei drove his sister’s car to bring me back."

Guan Anshan remembered something: "Is Zheng Lei’s sister really Director Luo of Beijing Medical Affiliated Hospital?"

Guan Yuqi smiled faintly: "Of course it’s true—how could it be fake?"

Guan Anshan’s smile faded, replaced with a worried expression.

Seeing her father’s expression, Guan Yuqi knew something was on his mind: "Dad, is there something wrong?"

Guan Anshan sighed: "Here’s the thing—didn’t your uncle have a brain tumor diagnosed earlier? They called a couple of days ago, saying they’d heard Director Luo of Beijing Medical Affiliated Hospital is highly skilled at this type of surgery and has had a perfect success rate.

They’ll probably arrive within the next day or so, but here you’ve just visited them, and now we’d go asking for their help—it feels a bit awkward, and I’m worried it might cause trouble for you."

After a moment of silence, Guan Yuqi said, "Dad, I’ll call Zheng Lei. Even if they think poorly of us, we can’t delay my uncle’s treatment."

Qiu Xiaochan patted her husband’s hand at this point: "Relax, dear. Our daughter just mentioned earlier that Stone’s family has very close relationships, even without blood ties—I believe they won’t hold any grudges against Yuqi over something so minor.

Besides, the girl is right—your brother’s illness is urgent. Bringing it up to them early might even allow them to arrange things in advance. Since we’re destined to become family, and they seem genuine, seeking their help now truly isn’t overstepping. Let’s not overthink it."

Guan Yuqi stood up and headed downstairs, preparing to call Zheng Lei.

Guan Anshan’s eyes were full of guilt: "Speak to Stone properly—help where you can, but don’t make things difficult for them."

Stone picked up the call, listened to what she said, and briefly explained the situation to Luo Qiao before handing her the phone: "Hello, Yuqi. When will your uncle arrive in Capital City?"

"My dad said if the train isn’t delayed, he should be here by around 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ll take care of it. Save my phone number; call me directly when he gets here, and I’ll assist with the paperwork."

"Sister, thank you so much."

"We’re about to become one family—there’s no need for thanks. See you tomorrow."

After hanging up, Guan Yuqi felt an indescribable warmth in her heart and went back upstairs in high spirits.

Just as she opened the door, the opposite door swung open too—Sun Yu cast a glare at her: "Why are you so smug?"

Rushing inside to share the update with her parents, Guan Yuqi couldn’t be bothered with her and simply replied, "Mind your own business."
