Gu’s father’s leg had been delaying until Sunday, December 13th. The child had already celebrated their hundredth day, and it was time to remove the plaster from his leg injury as it had been a hundred days. Father and daughter, along with the nanny and the child, went to the hospital. Before leaving, Gu’s father also called his sister, worrying that if something happened and Gu Qing couldn’t cope, she’d be ready to help out! After the plaster was removed and an X-ray taken, the doctor informed Gu’s father that his leg was fully recovered. With Gu’s father now able to walk, things would be much easier to manage. He first took his sister and daughter, had the nanny carry the child, and they all made a detour to the pediatric department. This was because the doctor had previously told him to bring the child for an MRI after their hundredth day to further determine the medical condition. But after the sedative was administered, the child woke up from the roaring noise of the machine! The check-up couldn’t be done, but the child’s head circumference was growing too fast! It was already near 49, close to 50! This gave Gu’s father a sudden feeling of worthlessness! It was painful enough hiring a nanny at a high price! The expense of this hospital visit wasn’t small either! Plus formula costs, and the potential for more expenses in the future... The Gu Family’s business was already neglected due to his leg injury, significantly affecting the revenue! Was he now supposed to save money for the child’s medical treatment?! Outgoings were high, incomings were low. The scales in Gu’s father’s heart started to tip out of balance, and the thought of divorce surfaced in his mind once more. And this time, it lingered for a long time. The child was too young; the doctor’s advice was still to go home and continue observing and come back in six months! So all Gu’s father could do was take everyone back home by taxi. As soon as he entered the home, Gu’s father signaled with his eyes for his sister and daughter to follow him into the bedroom and closed the door to speak. "We can’t check; we can’t operate. What do you say? What should we do now?" Gu’s father sat down on the edge of the bed and asked. Aunt Gu Qing promptly replied, "What can you do? Just endure it!" Gu Qing did not agree with her aunt’s idea! "As if you were faced with such circumstances! It’s easy for you to talk when it’s not your problem!" "Shh! Xiaoqing, what kind of language is that!" Aunt Gu Qing also had a son. Hearing this, she connected it to her own fears and was immediately displeased! "If anything were to happen to my son, I would never let you off the hook!" Gu Qing knew that her words had gone a bit too far, and at this moment, she pouted and lowered her head, not confronting her aunt any further. Seeing this, Gu’s father had to steer the conversation back on track! "Just enduring it definitely won’t work! We have to run to the hospital every few days, there isn’t enough money to sustain this! Besides, the child’s head keeps growing non-stop..." "What do you suggest we do then?!" Aunt Gu Qing took over the conversation. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net She had actually picked up on Gu’s father’s underlying message, but she did not want to be the one to outright say it! If Gu’s father regretted the divorce afterward, who would he blame if not the person who suggested it?! Aunt Gu Qing wasn’t silly enough to take that responsibility for him! But she didn’t say anything, Gu Qing did! "What else can be done! Just divorce! Whoever gave birth to him should support him! He didn’t pop out of a stone!" "What do you think?!" Gu’s father still wanted to hear his sister’s opinion, after all, she usually had a lot of ideas! "If you think it’s going to be a problem sooner or later, then how about you just get a divorce!" Aunt Gu Qing still didn’t put it bluntly, "Anyways, if you can have a son with Cheng Yan, you can have one with someone else too!" No sooner had she finished speaking than Gu Qing rolled her eyes several times in the shadows! Son, son! It’s all about the son all day long! Still thinking about remarrying and having another child? Dream on! Next time she would definitely not agree! The conversation went on until the end, and Gu’s father did not tell his sister and daughter his decision. Seeing that enough had been said, Aunt Gu Qing took her leave and departed first. Once she left, the conversation between father and daughter became much more comfortable. Gu Qing immediately started to complain: "It’s clear my aunt doesn’t want to deal with our family affairs anymore!" Gu’s father nodded his head, saying nothing. Indeed, he also noticed that his sister was just fobbing him off with words, which is why he didn’t continue the conversation. Seeing her father not saying anything, Gu Qing spoke up again! "Dad! Are you going to divorce or not?! If you’re really going to spend all the family’s money on your son’s treatment, what am I supposed to do about going to university?! In your eyes, is that broken son more important or your own daughter?!" "Of course you are more important!" Gu’s father looked up and smiled at his daughter to reassure her. "Then that means you’ve decided to get a divorce, right!" Gu Qing became happy! "...Yes! Didn’t the doctor say today? If this child’s head keeps growing , he might need surgery in six months! After all, he’s my own flesh and blood, I don’t want to treat him, but I can’t delay his treatment, can I?" Seeing her daughter nodding vigorously, Gu’s father finally made up his mind: "...It’s better to get a divorce sooner! I will go to the school to find Zhen Yan tomorrow and ask him where he took his mother. Hurry and bring her back to do the paperwork!" Gu’s father was thinking beautifully! But when he actually found Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan gave him a blow to the head! "You want to divorce my mom?!" Zhen Yan repeated Gu’s father’s words, not sounding surprised at all. Due to the issue with the brother’s delivery service, Gu’s father now felt extremely irritated whenever he saw Zhen Yan! Seeing that the other party understood his intention, he immediately said: "Yes! Where’s your mom?! Hasten her to come back and do the paperwork with me!" "Tch!" Zhen Yan suddenly let out a huge scoff! "You want a divorce just like that? You think you are King and your words are so effective! Who gets the house? Who gets the money earned from the delivery service? Who gets the child? If you can’t lay it out clearly, sheer nonsense is your divorce!" Gu’s father’s face turned the color of pig liver on the spot! It was as if only at this moment the selfish man remembered that Mrs. Zhen now had a son to rely on, and she would no longer let him have his way, let alone leave with nothing! "How do you want to divide things?!" Realizing this, Gu’s father chose to bend to reality. In his mind, he planned to get this marriage over with first! Because even if the division was harsh, it wouldn’t cost more than the surgery for the child! Zhen Yan did not mince his words, and directly said: "The house was bought with money from both sides! Do you want the house or the money?" "I want the house!" Gu’s father certainly knew that housing prices had been rising for the past two years, so he immediately said: "I’ll give you fifty thousand, the house is mine!" "Are you dreaming of some great fortune?! You think I don’t know that housing prices have risen!" But Zhen Yan directly burst his bubble without hesitation! Since his mother was bound to divorce Gu’s father, Zhen Yan had already started sorting through the Gu family’s assets early on and had clearly listed what his mother was entitled to!
