Tang Zui, who was lying in the ward, had not woken up yet.

Gu Mian asked the doctor when Tang Zui would regain consciousness, and the doctor said that the earliest would be tonight. He also warned her that she must keep the ward clean to prevent Tang Zui's wounds from getting infected.

After the doctor left, Gu Mian continued sitting beside Tang Zui, but she was feeling a little agitated. Her cell phone started ringing. It was another call from her family. She rose and went outside the ward to answer the call.

“Mian Mian, what's going on with Tang Zui? Why is your older brother not back yet?” Gu Mian's mother asked anxiously.

“Mum, Tang Zui got badly injured yesterday for the sake of saving me, and he's still unconscious right now. As for the matter concerning my older brother, can we talk about it after Tang Zui wakes up? Let's take this opportunity to allow my older brother to learn a lesson this time. It would be better this way so that he won't get into more trouble in the future.” Gu Mian was feeling very upset right now.

After Gu Mian's mother heard what her daughter said, she stayed silent for a moment and asked, “Then, how is Tang Zui now?”

“He's still unconscious. The doctor said that he would wake up tonight at the earliest.” Gu Mian was truly starting to get worried. She was super anxious.

“Were you being naughty again? You must not do this again in the future. You must stop harming people.”

“I'm naughty? Mum, what are you saying? I didn't do anything wrong. And why are you telling me to stop harming people? Who have I ever harmed?”

Gu Mian was in a bad mood to begin with, and after her mother said this, she became even more upset.

“Alright, alright, you never harmed anyone. Do you want us to visit Tang Zui in the hospital?” Gu Mian's mother asked.

“There's no need for that. Just stop bothering me with anything related to Gu Ling. I'm sure that Tang Zui has arranged everything.” Gu Mian hung up after she finished speaking.

Si Mancheng saw Gu Mian standing outside the ward and asked, “How's Tang Zui? Why aren't you inside?”

“Erm… I was answering a call… I have a question… Do Tang Zui's family members know that he's injured?”

Gu Mian truly felt that Tang Zui's family members should visit him now that he was so badly injured. But as it seemed, none of them had showed up.

“I've sent someone to inform his family members about it. But you know how bad his relations.h.i.+p with his father is. As for the other people in his family, it would be impossible for them to care about whether he's dead or alive. Maybe they hope that he will die.”

Gu Mian furrowed her eyebrows when she heard this. She had witnessed how partial Tang Zui's father was to Tang Ming. But Tang Zui was badly wounded right now, and as his father, Mr. Tang did not even bother to visit him…

Gu Mian entered the ward together with Si Mancheng. As Gu Mian gazed at the man who was lying quietly on his belly, she felt a pang in her heart again. She was actually starting to feel bad for this man…

Gu Mian knew that she might be going crazy. Tang Zui had done so many detestable things to her. But in this moment, as she gazed at the man who seemed like he had been abandoned by the entire world, she pitied him quite a lot.

In the Tang family's home.

Tang Jiyun, Lu Shuzen and Tang Ming were chit-chatting and laughing as they left the Tang family's mansion. Lu Suzhen was in a particularly good mood today, as Elder Tang was finally treating Tang Ming a little better. It seemed that he had accepted Tang Ming as his grandson.

Tang Jiyun was in a joyous mood too. He had received news that Tang Zui was badly wounded and hospitalized, and he felt that Tang Zui had gotten injured at just the right time. They would be able to spend Chinese New Year in peace, as otherwise, that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d would be causing him all kinds of trouble.

Tang Ming also heaved an internal sigh of relief. Only with Old Master Tang's recognition would he be Tang Zui's equal, with a right to fight for their family fortune.

The butler saw that Tang Jiyun was back. Even though he knew that he might get scolded, he pitied the eldest young master very much and asked, “Master, did you visit the eldest young master in the hospital? Young Master Si said that he's quite badly injured this time.”
