Seven years

Chapter 19 The Unbearable Weight
"Hello, are you Mu Shuting's family? This is ** Hospital. The patient is in critical condition. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible." Mu Xue turned the steering wheel, and the phone call just now kept ringing in her ears.

It's been a while since the last nephritis flare-up, and the treatment in foreign countries is almost done, how could it be... Mu Xue panicked in her heart, she had a premonition that the situation this time was different from the past.She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she could only rush to the hospital as fast as she could.

"Where is Mu Shuting's patient now?" Mu Xue got out of the car and went straight to the information desk to ask the staff.

A nurse came over, "Are you Mu Shuting's family member? Come with me here."

"How is my mother?" Mu Xue followed her closely.

"I was rescued just now, and now I'm being sent to the intensive care unit. You can go through the formalities later." The nurse said without changing her expression.

"Okay..." Mu Xue was confused and said vaguely.Soon came to the door of the ward, and a strange woman was sitting on the chair at the door.

"She was the one who brought the patients here," said the nurse.

The woman stood up, "You are finally here! Just now your mother came to my place to buy vegetables. She was fine before, but she suddenly passed out. I called an ambulance immediately."

Mu Xue thanked you again and again, "Thank you so much! I will definitely visit you when I have time!"

While talking, the doctor came out of the ward, closed the door, looked at Mu Xue, took off his mask and said, "Are you the patient's family?"

"Yes, doctor." Mu Xue replied, "How is my mother?"

The doctor adjusted the glasses frame and said with a serious expression: "I haven't woken up yet, so I can't go in for the time being. To be honest, you have to be mentally prepared. The current patient's condition is not very optimistic. I'm not talking about you, how can you let me go in?" A person with kidney failure buys vegetables and cooks?"

"Kidney... Kidney failure?" Mu Xue replied in disbelief, "She was just suffering from nephritis earlier, and it has been cured, how could it be..."

"That's it. I didn't go to the hospital for a reexamination, did I? So I don't know if the condition has relapsed or become serious." The doctor said with no surprise.

"Then what should we do now?" Mu Xue suddenly thought of the last time her mother passed out at the door of the house. Could it be from that time...God, it's all because she didn't pay attention to her mother's condition, which led to this point.

The doctor also found it difficult. "It's a bit difficult now. One of the kidneys is broken, and the other one won't be much better. In addition to finding a suitable kidney, you also need to find a suitable blood type. Your mother has RH negative blood."

"I know..." Mu Xue frowned, "Is it okay to give her my kidney?"

"Does your blood type match?" The doctor stared at her.

Mu Xue shook her head.

"Even if the blood type matches, the body will reject the organ after transplantation. Even if the operation is successful, there will inevitably be other sequelae and complications. Therefore, I advise you to find a suitable healthy kidney as soon as possible."

After Lu Hong helped Gu Yan put away his things, he saw him standing in front of the glass window of the living room with his mobile phone helpless, so he poured two glasses of water, one for himself and one for Gu Yan, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know why she can't get through on the phone, is there something wrong?" Gu Yan took the water glass but didn't drink it.

On the way back from picking him up from the hospital, Lu Hong heard him talk about Mu Xue's company, and said with a disapproving smile, "Don't worry, what could happen? If her boss really stops her project, with Mu Xue's strength, I believe she can also open a brand store of her own, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she even started a studio and a company!”

After listening to Lu Hong's words, Gu Yan thought it was reasonable, and couldn't think of any other possibility besides this for a while, so he could only call after Mu Xue saw the missed call.

"You're almost moldy in the hospital! I'll call Zhang Leran over to have a good meal later, as a celebration of your new life!"

Mu Xue sat on the bench outside the ward with her head down all the time. She had been sitting here waiting for her mother to wake up after completing the procedures. She just sat there for two hours without making a sound.

Until two people stood in front of her.

She guessed it was them when she saw a pair of shiny leather shoes and a pair of elegant white heels.Mu Xue raised her head, and she saw the faces of Li Binghuan and Li Yanzhen.

"Mu Xue..." Li Binghuan squatted down slowly, and held her hand worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Li Yanzhen saw Mu Shuting in a coma in the ward through the window and sighed: "Why is it like this all of a sudden?"

Mu Xue broke free from Li Binghuan's hand, stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and her voice was colder than ever, "It's all right now, it's just as you wanted, what else do you want?"

"Mu Xue, what you said is wrong. No one thought that Auntie would become like this. You can't blame us for everything about my dad!" Ever since Li Yanzhen knew the relationship between Mu Xue and Gu Yan, she had always had a feeling in her heart. There is an invisible knot, and the speech is no longer as friendly as before.

Li Binghuan glanced at his sister and told her not to talk too much, then looked at Mu Xue, his gaze was still gentle, he knew her current mood, and he didn't blame her at all, "Don't worry too much, Auntie will be fine, if there is anything I need Please help, don't be shy."

Mu Xue stood up and made a weird smile, "Don't be fake, your great father told me all the plans he had planned for so many years, and I was just a stepping stone on his road to success. You, You guys, don't appear in front of me again, I don't want to see you again!"

"Mu Xue, I don't care what my father thinks, I am sincere to you!" Li Binghuan wanted to reach out and hold her.

Mu Xue took a step back, leaving him alone. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "You guys are so disgusting!"

Li Yan was so angry that she took her brother's hand and walked out, "Let's go! She treats you like this, don't you give up?!"

Seeing them pulling and dragging away, Mu Xue gradually calmed down, she turned to look at the ward, and found that Mu Shuting lying on the bed seemed to be moving a little bit, she was surprised and happy, and hurriedly called the doctor: "Doctor! Doctors!"

Today, the whole process was arranged by Lu Hong. Apart from Zhang Leran, he also called a few other friends he knew, had dinner and played a game of billiards. He didn't think it was too interesting, so he went to KTV for an afternoon session. Lu Hong knew that Gu Yan was thinking early. Not here, seeing that he didn't say much all the way, he sang a song and stopped singing, so he left early.Zhang Leran had to go back to the company to work overtime, Lu Hong said to Gu Yan, "I'll take you back."

Gu Yan shook his head, "No, I'm going home today, and I haven't seen the old man for a long time. If you don't go along the way, it's troublesome to go around, I can just take a taxi."

Lu Hong had no choice but to give up, "Okay, call me if you need something."

"Mom, you're finally awake!" The daughter's face gradually became clear in Mu Shuting's sight. This was the first sentence she heard after waking up.

"Mom, it's me, Mu Xue." Mu Xue held her mother's hand and was so worried, her nose was sore, but she kept holding back her tears.She knew that at this time, she had to be calm and act as if nothing happened, so that the patient would not panic.

Mu Shuting held her daughter's hand instead, "Mu Xue, are you back?"

"Yeah." Mu Xue bit her lip and nodded, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you stay at home alone."

"What nonsense, you have your own life, how can you stay by my side all the time?" Mu Shuting spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was using all her strength.

Mu Xue put her hands under the quilt, tucked the corner of the quilt and said, "Stop talking, take a good rest, I will be with you during this time."

Mu Shuting only felt tired, and slowly closed her eyes again.

Mu Xue stared at her mother's sleeping face, unable to see what she was thinking.She blinked, came back to her senses, and took out her phone from her pocket. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Gu Yan. She stared at the screen and sighed very softly.

For so many years, she has never done anything for him. She originally thought that there would be a bright future, but something happened that no one expected.She couldn't have given him nothing and let him bear what he shouldn't have to bear.

When Xu Jianping opened the door and saw that it was his son, she was so happy that she helped him get his shoes and bag, and called his wife who was changing the light in the bathroom: "Old man, my son is back!"

"It's just in time to come back, come and help me." Gu Chengliang said.

Xu Jianping said angrily: "He just came back from a business trip, if you don't let him rest for a while, why don't you just change the light, what a big deal!"

"I have presbyopia, so I can't see clearly!"

Gu Yan was used to seeing them making noise at home, so he just laughed, went to the bathroom and said to his father who was standing on the ladder: "Dad, come down and leave it to me."

Gu Yan changed it within 2 minutes, and Gu Chengliang sighed: "It's better to be young!"

Xu Jianping put the cut fruits on the coffee table in the living room, and told them to wash their hands and eat, "Son, where did you go on a business trip this time?"

Gu Yan casually mentioned a city, "Hong Kong, it's too busy these days, either working or sleeping, I didn't bring you anything when I went there."

"Oh, you don't need to bring anything, as long as you don't just focus on work and exhaust your body." Xu Jianping felt that her son had indeed lost weight after a few days, and she couldn't help feeling distressed, "I'll cook what you like for dinner, you have to eat more!"

Gu Yan could only nod his head.

"Okay, you guys are talking, I have to think about what to have for dinner." Xu Jianping got up and went to the kitchen.

Gu Chengliang and his son watched TV for a while, and talked about what they had to talk about, but no one had anything to say.After a while, Gu Yan said, "I'll go see if I can help."

In fact, Gu Yan has no cooking skills at all, and he only knows how to cook simple egg fried rice. Most of the three meals a day are settled in the company cafeteria. Just say: "Mom, can I help you choose vegetables?"

"Okay," Xu Jianping was very happy to hear that, and gave him a bag of cabbage, "I'll give you all these, and wash them one by one."

Xu Jianping stared at his son who was doing the laundry, and after thinking for a long time, he finally asked what he wanted to ask when he first entered the door: "Son, tell mom, is there anyone around you recently?"

This sentence made Gu Yan think of Mu Xue again, he didn't call back all day, he didn't know what he was doing.

Xu Jianping touched her son with her elbow, "I'm asking you something, why are you in a daze? Don't try to hide it from me this time, I've already found out. I asked Lu Hong last time when he came here. Although he didn't say anything, but I understood right away."

"This Lu Hong..." Gu Yan muttered in his heart, and he didn't intend to hide it anymore, so he admitted it.

Xu Jianping was very happy, and hurriedly asked: "Which family is the girl from?"

Gu Yan didn't say anything, just said: "Mom, don't worry, I will bring her to meet your two elders when the time comes."

A mother is not in a hurry about her son getting married. After all, Gu Yan is not yet thirty, so even if she waits a few more years to get married, it is not too late. What Xu Jianping is worried about is that she has never seen any woman beside him in so many years. My son is also handsome and capable. It stands to reason that there should be many girls who like him, but why doesn't he have a girlfriend?Xu Jianping couldn't hide her words, and said what was in her heart: "Can I not be in a hurry? Ever since you brought a girl named Xue to your home when you were in college, I haven't seen you bring someone back... "

"It was because of that incident that I decided not to bring a girl home easily, unless I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her." Gu Yan said with an open heart, "Mom, there is actually a misunderstanding between this, I have never understood why you Do you hate Mu Xue so much?"

"Mu Xue? You mean that girl?" Xu Jianping still remembers the first time she saw this girl at home, "You've seen it, she looks like that, she's so proud! What will happen after this?! Also, it's not a good thing for a girl to grow too beautiful, there are many disputes, so don't worry."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Is it wrong to be beautiful?" Gu Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, "You just have a prejudice against her. That's right, she was a little proud at the time, and she spoke to you a little too aggressively. This is her fault. But she was young and ignorant at that time, and she could understand it, so don't worry about it all the time. "

Xu Jianping suddenly thought of something, she looked at her son suspiciously and asked, "I said... the person next to you right now is Mu Xue again?"

Gu Yan didn't say it directly, he changed the phrase, "If it is?"

Although she guessed it, Xu Jianping was still a little surprised, and her voice was high: "Isn't it you? Son, if this is the case, you will disappoint me! You really waited until now for that Mu Xue?"

Gu Yan smiled knowingly, "But I've waited, haven't I?"

Xu Jianping touched her son's forehead and then her own. She shook her head, "What drug did this girl give you?"

"It's not that I've been drugged, it's really worth it." Gu Yan said seriously, "Mom, she's really nice, you will definitely like her next time you see her."
