“Sigh, I know. Although you said that you don’t care, I know I actually do. Even though Yu divorced you, but he should not remarry too. I’m not on his side this time. Dead or alive, he’s yours.”

Xu Weilai was speechless at Xiao Chun’s words. Had Xiao Chun not pushed the cup further away, she would have splashed the cup of water on her face to wake her up.

Xu Weilai picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea. She suppressed the boiling fire in her heart by downing the whole cup of tea in a gulp. “It’s not what you think.”

Objection to a marriage is non-existent, let alone kidnapping the groom.

“Huh?” Xiao Chun was first startled, then fear clouded her face. She looked left and right to ensure that they were alone in the private room. She moved closer to Xu Weilai and whispered into her ears, “Is there a possibility that you ruthlessly wanted to kill Yu?”

She made the gesture of raising a knife and a knife-slashing motion.

Xu Weilai took a deep breath. Xiao Chun was fortunate that she had finished drinking the cup of tea in her hand. Else, she would really throw the cup of hot tea at her.

She might as well be straightforward with Xiao Chun.

Xu Weilai looked up at Xiao Chun and pondered for a moment. The first thing she told her was, “Chunchun, I was visiting Grandpa Gu at the hospital earlier, wasn’t I? His fingers moved. Doctor said that there might be a possibility that he will regain his consciousness.”

“Really?” Xiao Chun blinked a few times in disbelief. “Grandpa can regain consciousness? That’s great... have you told Yu? Yu will be delighted to know about this. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Lets not eat. Lets go to the hospital. I’ll cheer for Grandpa.”

She was speaking spoke incoherently. Xu Weilai reached out and grabbed her by the hand when she excitedly was about to stand up and prepared to leave.

Xu Weilai looked at her gravely. “Chunchun, listen carefully to what I’m about to tell you. You might not accept nor believe what I’m going to say, but everything I’m going to tell you is true..”

The shock and joy on Xiao Chun’s face faded as she looked at the seriousness in Xu Weilai. She frowned slightly and said softly, “Lil’ Weilai, did something happen to Grandpa again? I’m scared looking at you like this.”

Xu Weilai’s grip around Xiao Chun’s hand tightened. She started telling Xiao Chun what she knew.

The new about Grandpa Gu showing signs of regaining consciousness leaked to the media and was published by one of the press. Discussions about the news intensified when the news was officially published to the public. Reporters flocked the hospital trying to get the latest update on his condition.

These paparazzi were everywhere, trying to dig themselves into breaking news. Even the bodyguards stationed at the hospital earlier were not enough to stop the determinations of these paparazzi, let alone Mrs. Lin to guard Mr. Gu Sr. on her own. She could only call Assistant Lin to send more security details to help.

As for Assistant Lin, he had been in a sort of missing in action state since before Xu Weilai was captured. He mentioned about a business trip, but had never returned from the mentioned business trip since then.

Ten well-built security details arrived in the very afternoon as of Assistant Lin’s arrangement to stay on guard of the door into the wards.

The media were quickly suppressed by Gu Yu, who gave the order for all news publications related to Grandpa Gu to be taken down. He disallowed further news on his grandfather to be publicized because the news would cause disturbance to Grandpa Gu’s peace and his recuperation.

All the news was immediately taken down, for the media feared offending Gu Yu. The top security around the hospital ward also disallowed them to get any news related to Grandpa Gu. The heat gradually subsided soon after.

News of Gu Yu and Zuo Si’s wedding followed immediately since the date of the wedding was approaching really soon. All the media attention was on them since it was a wedding of the century and would be held in an extremely grand setting.

It was until the breaking news that happened in the middle of the night...
