Against the Heavens Evil Cultivator

Chapter 31 Gu Family Status

When Lin Fan and Gu Jiayi were running towards the hall, a woman walked by.The woman was very beautiful, wearing a plain light blue dress, her black hair was coiled behind her head, her complexion was fair, and her figure was upright. She was holding a small bowl in her hand, which was steaming with a faint smell of bitter medicine. out.

"Xiaoyi...Xiaoyi! You're back!" The woman was taken aback when she saw Gu Jiayi, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. After confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Gu Jiayi, she shouted in surprise.

Gu Jiayi frowned, hesitated and didn't speak.

Seeing that Gu Jiayi was unwilling to pay attention to her, the woman's expression changed, but she didn't say much.

Lin Fan frowned, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hi, you are Xiaoyi's sister, right? My name is Lin Fan."

"Sister?!" The woman and Gu Jiayi were taken aback when they heard this, and their small mouths opened enough to swallow an egg.

Lin Fan looked at the two women in surprise, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.As Gu Jiayi's man, he felt that he should make a good impression on his father-in-law, so he took the initiative to greet the woman, but he didn't expect the two of them to have such an expression.

"Then... Xiaofan, hello." The woman was more mature than Gu Jiayi, and after being slightly surprised, she collected her thoughts and said with a smile.

"Lin Fan..." Lin Fan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Jiayi. Gu Jiayi pulled Lin Fan's sleeve, glanced at the woman and said shyly, "This is my mother..."

"I know! Mother...Mother!!" Lin Fan said disapprovingly, then stared at Gu Jiayi with wide eyes. "What did you say? Is she your mother? Not your sister?"

Gu Jiayi glared at Lin Fan. "She's my mother."

Paralyzed!Now it's embarrassing to throw it at grandma's house, and the mother-in-law is so beautiful? !Lin Fan lowered his head and glanced to see if there was a hole of suitable size for him to crawl into.

"Then...uh..." Although Lin Fan could speak eloquently, he didn't know what to say at this time.

"Xiaoyi, come in quickly! Your father has always been thinking about you!" The woman smiled when she saw Lin Fan's embarrassed look, and then said to Gu Jiayi.

Hearing the woman's reminder, Gu Jiayi suddenly remembered about his father, pulled Lin Fan and ran inside.

Seeing this, the woman frowned, sighed and didn't say much, and quickly followed Gu Jiayi in.

When Gu Jiayi pushed open the door, Gu Fangwu was lying on the bed with a haggard look, his face was thin and pale, and his big hands exposed outside the quilt were already as thin as sticks.

"Xiao Ru, didn't I tell you? Just let the servants do the cooking of the medicine, so don't worry about it." Perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Fangwu opened his eyes and said, As he said, he turned his head, and when he saw Lin Fan and Gu Jiayi standing at the door, he was taken aback.

Gu Jiayi trembled, trying not to let her tears fall. From the moment she opened the door and saw Gu Fangwu lying on the bed, her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her hard. Blank, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

Is this really the father?Gu Jiayi asked herself.When she left home when she was young, her father was still healthy and strong, but she never expected that when she saw him again, his father would look like this.

"You...you are Xiaoyi?" Gu Fangwu raised his trembling hand, looked at Gu Jiayi and shouted excitedly.

Looking into Gu Fangwu's eyes and listening to Gu Fangwu's voice, Gu Jiayi cried, and couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

"Father!" Gu Jiayi yelled, ran into the room crying and knelt in front of Gu Fangwu's bed, tightly holding Gu Fangwu's big hand.

"Xiaoyi..." Gu Fangwu trembled, and old tears flowed silently from his deep sunken eyes.

Looking at the father and daughter who were hugging and crying, Lin Fan quietly closed the door, feeling an unreasonable sense of loneliness in his heart.Glancing at the lone goose in the sky, he suddenly felt like that lone goose, and his thoughts flew out all of a sudden, spanning time and space.

Elderly mother, are you all right?

Not only serious women are attractive, but serious men are also attractive.Seeing the sadness on Lin Fan's face, Gu's mother was a little surprised.

"Unconsciously, Xiaoyi has been away from home for six years." Gu's mother said.

Lin Fan was taken aback, looked at Gu's mother in surprise, and secretly blamed himself for his decreased vigilance. When Gu's mother came to him just now, he failed to find Gu's mother. If this was an enemy, he would have died just now.

"Six years? Why?" Lin Fan calmed down and asked suspiciously.

"Didn't Xiaoyi tell you?" Mother Gu asked in surprise.

"No." Lin Fan shook his head.He doesn't want to ask what others don't want to say, just as he doesn't want others to ask him what he doesn't want to say.

"Oh." Mother Gu nodded without saying anything, as if she didn't intend to explain anything to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't care either. He glanced at the medicine in Gu's mother's hand and asked, "How long has father-in-law been taking this medicine?"

Maybe it was because Lin Fan didn't expect that Lin Fan would call Gu Fangwu his father-in-law so cheekily. Gu's mother was slightly surprised, and then sighed. "It's been half a year."

"There is ghost mulberry in this medicine. Although it is a great tonic, long-term use can cause poisoning. You should know about this, right?" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and stared closely at Gu's mother.

Gu's mother was taken aback, and looked at Lin Fan in astonishment. She never thought that Lin Fan would be able to tell the main flavor of the medicine just by smelling it, and even more accurately tell the nature of the medicine.

"I know." Mother Gu nodded.

Lin Fan nodded, quietly watching Mother Gu without asking any more questions.

"Don't you want to know why I gave Fang Wu the medicine even though I knew it was poisonous?" Gu's mother originally thought that Lin Fan would ask her if she knew about it, but she didn't expect that Lin Fan would just look at her like that. No words were asked.

"I know what you will say." Lin Fan shrugged.

"Although this medicine is poisonous, if Fang Wu doesn't take this medicine, he will die faster." Mother Gu was stunned again, then shook her head and said in pain.Who knows the heartache of knowing it's poison but having to feed it to the one you love?Whenever she suppressed her tears and gave Gu Fangwu medicine, her heart was bleeding.

Lin Fan nodded, and looked at Mother Gu sympathetically.That kind of forced smile, but the feeling that the heart is bleeding is indeed not something ordinary people can bear.

"Uh... what's wrong with my father-in-law?" Lin Fan had never met his father-in-law in his last life. He originally wanted to call him old man Gu Fangwu, but after thinking about it, he gave up and called him in front of his wife. Old man, if this happened to him, he would kill the son-in-law immediately.

"I don't know, I don't know how many doctors have been invited over the years, but none of them can tell exactly what the disease is, and give medicine to cure the disease. The only way to prolong Fang Wu's life is with this method. After Mother Gu finished speaking, she shook her head again, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and continued. "At first, Fang Wu was worried that he would not see the child. Anyway, now his wish is finally fulfilled. It's a pity that Pan Xi didn't come back."

"Panxi?" Lin Fan asked in question.

"Panxi is Xiaoyi's older sister and my daughter." After finishing speaking, Gu's mother frowned, and said in a timid voice, "I am Xiaoyi's stepmother."

Lin Fan nodded, and only then did he understand why Gu Jiayi was a little hesitant when he saw Gu's mother just now.

Seeing that Lin Fan did not look down on her, Mother Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Fang Wu and Xiao Yi's biological mother broke off the marriage, and then married me. Panxi is my ex-husband's." Daughter. After I got married, Xiaoyi always thought that it was because of me that Fang Wu and her mother broke off the marriage. She was always dissatisfied with me, so she ran away from home six years ago. Panxi went out to find Xiaoyi. Never came back yet."

On the surface, Gu Jiayi has always been lively and lovely. Lin Fan never asked about Gu Jiayi's life experience, but he never thought that Gu Jiayi would have such a family.Hearing Gu's mother explain the matter clearly, he understood what Gu Jiayi's trance expression outside Fengling City meant.It is a concern, a longing, and a knot that cannot be untied.

"You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" Lin Fan shook his head after looking at the surrounding scenery. The huge courtyard was empty except for the young man who just opened the door, and there was no servant there.

"What?" Gu's mother was still immersed in the past, and couldn't hear what Lin Fan said.

"I said, you must have suffered a lot these years. If my guess is correct, the Gu family should have been quite wealthy in the past. The reason for the current boom is because you raised money to treat your father-in-law. Should you sell the property?" Lin Fan shook his head and sighed.It is said that a husband and wife are in love every day, and when they get married, they keep saying that they want to depend on each other for life and death, but if something really happens, it will not be a catastrophe in the end, and they will fly separately.How many of those sworn vows in the past can be fulfilled?This is a woman who has to be moved and admired.

Gu's mother was stunned, and looked at Lin Fan in shock. She never thought that this young man who was only about 20 years old in front of him would have such sharp eyesight. It took less than an hour to see things so thoroughly.As the number of conversations with Lin Fan increased, she became less and less able to see through Lin Fan. "Fang Wu has been bedridden since a few years ago. There is no one to take care of the family's business, and there is no income. I can only dismiss all the servants. Now the entire Gu family is up and down, only Fang Wu, me and Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai was a beggar saved by Fang Wu back then. He was grateful to Fang Wu, so he never left. You must not tell Fang Wu these things. Every time I go to boil medicine, he tells me to let the servants do it, but he But I don't know that the entire Gu family has no servants."
