Chapter 516 She Needs Time to Accept Your Identity
Chapter 516 She Needs Time to Accept Your Identity
"If I weren't here, would you have kept this a secret from me?" Old Master Gu pounded his cane and said angrily, "Gu Beisheng, can't you just let me worry less? You're the only living bloodline left in the Gu family. If anything were to happen to you, what would the whole Gu family do?"
Gu Beisheng could hear the dissatisfaction with him in Mr. Gu's words.
On the one hand, it is about the marriage with Ji Qinglin, and on the other hand, he was injured and hospitalized tonight.
"Grandpa, this isn't Beisheng's fault." Ji Qinglin stood up and spoke for Gu Beisheng. "He got hurt because he was trying to protect me."
Old Master Gu glanced at Ji Qinglin, sighed, and said, "Of course I know this guy is trying to protect you. But if he hadn't angered you before and ended this marriage hastily, how could this have happened?"
Ji Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then he understood the profound meaning of Mr. Gu's words.
If she was the young lady of the Gu family and had bodyguards everywhere, how could such a thing happen?
"So, all this is the fault of this brat." Old Master Gu glared at Gu Beisheng and said in a deep voice: "You didn't know how to cherish it at the beginning, and now you want to make amends. No wonder Xiao Ji is angry with you."
"Grandpa, I was wrong!" Gu Beisheng didn't argue, and frankly admitted his mistake. "I was confused for a moment, so I made the wrong decision. But at least I'm trying to make amends, right? Look, I even had surgery for Qinglin and ended up in the hospital."
After saying that, he glanced at Ji Qinglin.
Ji Qinglin frowned. Why did she feel that the grandfather and grandson were acting in a double act?
This echo of each other seemed to be telling her that Gu Beisheng had realized his mistake and was trying to make amends, so she should forgive him.
"Xiao Ji, are you okay?" After scolding Gu Beisheng, Old Man Gu turned to Ji Qinglin, his brows furrowed, a worried expression on his face. "Have you seen a doctor?"
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Ji Qinglin shook his head and said awkwardly, "Luckily, Bei Sheng blocked the knife for me this time, otherwise, it would be hard to say."
"Hmph, he deserves it." Old Master Gu sneered, his ire returning to Gu Beisheng. "Besides, as a man, you should stand up for yourself and protect women and children from danger. That's all natural."
The corners of Gu Beisheng's mouth twitched. Isn't this flag a bit too much?
After hearing what Mr. Gu said, he felt that he would be a shield in the future, specifically to block knives and guns for Ji Qinglin, but...
He was quite happy about it.
Afterwards, Mr. Gu confirmed Gu Beisheng's condition again and again. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, he finally put his mind at ease.
Although he cursed at Gu Beisheng at the beginning, he was actually very worried. However, he also understood that Gu Beisheng was injured to protect Ji Qinglin.
Since his grandson's injury was inevitable, he might as well take the opportunity to speak up for his grandson.
"Xiao Ji, you must be very tired, right?" Old Master Gu asked with concern: "Go to the next room and take a nap. I'll have someone watch over this brat."
Ji Qinglin glanced at Gu Beisheng and saw this guy. She shook her head slightly, unwilling to let her leave.
"Okay then, I'll go sleep next door for a while."
"..."
Gu Beisheng was very disappointed and looked at Old Man Gu speechlessly.
"Beisheng, don't rush into anything." Old Master Gu, with the air of a seasoned veteran, said calmly, "From this incident, it's clear that Xiaoji is still interested in you. It's just that she needs time to accept your identity."
