Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Pregnant

Just as Mother Gu saw Old Mrs. Gu heading upstairs directly, she reached out to try to grab her, but unexpectedly, her vision went black, and she fainted.

Gu Fuqiao turned around and saw Father Gu anxiously holding Mother Gu, along with Ouyang Qing by Mother Gu’s side. She raised an eyebrow slightly and thought to herself, What a harmonious family!

Old Mrs. Gu was not in a hurry. She merely glanced at Sister Sun and said, "Go make a call."

"Yes." Sister Sun nodded, walked over to Father Gu, and said, "Young Master, you should let go of the Young Mistress first. I’ll call someone to take her to the hospital." Then she started heading downstairs to make the call.

Father Gu looked up at Old Mrs. Gu, his eyes slightly bloodshot, seeming full of resentment towards her.

"Mom, it’s okay, I’ll take Rong’er to the hospital." After speaking, Father Gu hoisted Mother Gu onto his back and headed downstairs, looking as if he was leaving in a huff.

Old Mrs. Gu saw this and pressed her lips tightly together while gripping her cane. She said nothing and turned around to go upstairs.

Sister Sun politely nodded to Gu Fuqiao and then followed Old Mrs. Gu upstairs.

Gu Fuqiao didn’t want to go with them. To her, Ouyang Qing was part of their family. Besides, without Old Mrs. Gu around, there’s no telling how they might bully her.

So, she followed Old Mrs. Gu upstairs. Once in the room, Old Mrs. Gu looked at her, surprised, "Ah Jiao, why aren’t you with your mom?"

Gu Fuqiao walked up, took Sister Sun’s hand, and helped Old Mrs. Gu sit in a rocking chair, saying quietly, "With my cousin there, there’s nothing for me to worry about."

Hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words, Old Mrs. Gu was silent for a moment before she said, "Ah Jiao, rest assured, Grandma will definitely send Ouyang Qing back. I haven’t been around these years, and this family has turned chaotic!"

Although Old Mrs. Gu’s expression was clear and composed, Gu Fuqiao, having read many novels about household power struggles, could tell that she must have been formidable when she was young.

At least, no matter how arrogant Mother Gu was, in front of Old Mrs. Gu, she could barely say a word strongly.

Gu Fuqiao wasn’t sure what Old Mrs. Gu was planning, but she knew that as long as Old Mrs. Gu was present in the Gu Family, Mother Gu and Ouyang Qing wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble.

After accompanying Old Mrs. Gu for a while, Gu Fuqiao returned to her room, where she closely examined the diary she had unearthed and discovered that it recorded many things.

It turned out that when Gu Fuqiao was little, both of Mother Gu’s parents passed away, and she went back to mourn for a year.

Seeing the time of a year made Gu Fuqiao’s heart tremble.

After all, in modern times... no one takes this long. But thinking of the way Father Gu cherished Mother Gu, his willingness to get mad at his own mother made sense. If Mother Gu made a fuss, how could Father Gu refuse her?

Old Mrs. Gu was a famous painter. At that time, invited by a certain leader, she, along with a few other painters, went to Beijing and painted a picture that still hangs in the Great Hall of the People.

This was also why the Gu Family survived the turbulent times.

And coincidentally, Ouyang Qing’s mother gave birth to her that year. However, due to a difficult birth, they couldn’t save the mother. Later, out of pity for the motherless child, Mother Gu brought the swaddled Ouyang Qing back to be raised in the Gu Family.

Finding these clues, Gu Fuqiao was slightly taken aback.

It seemed that, most likely, Ouyang Qing was indeed Mother Gu’s child, but certainly not Father Gu’s child. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept Ouyang Qing with the Ouyang surname, especially since the Ouyang family was in a bad state, lacking someone like Mother Gu to protect them. They were criticized and had no good days...

"Good thing I didn’t burn this, or I’d never know these things." After speaking, Gu Fuqiao closed the diary, realizing it shouldn’t be kept. After all, the original owner had thoughts about her twisted cousin in it, and if someone saw it, it would be a disaster.

What’s more, isn’t it because the original owner had an affair with someone else that she divorced Yan Zhen Guo?

Thinking of Yan Zhen Guo’s demeanor... if he knew his wife had some messy relationship with her cousin... Gu Fuqiao shivered and immediately took the diary to the kitchen.

At the hospital, Father Gu was anxiously waiting for the doctor’s diagnosis, cold sweat almost breaking out on his forehead. He had never been like this during his academic research—only when Mother Gu had a difficult labor with Gu Fuqiao and today when she fainted.

Finally, the doctor came out of the examination room, and before he could speak, Father Gu rushed over to ask, "Doctor, what’s wrong with my wife?"

"Don’t worry, she’s just pregnant, which led to palpitations and breath shortness, causing her to faint," the doctor said, taking off his mask and smiling at Father Gu.

Pregnant?

Upon hearing this news, Father Gu was initially stunned, then grew happy.

He had been hoping for more children after marrying Mother Gu, but she had not agreed. Now, wasn’t this a gift from heaven? At this age, in his forties, he was going to have another child!

"Just ensure she takes care of herself, eat and drink properly." The doctor finished speaking and left.

In the hospital room, Ouyang Qing, attending to Mother Gu, was very uneasy upon hearing about Mother Gu’s pregnancy. Her eyes moved to Mother Gu’s flat stomach, filled with jealousy.

Gu Fuqiao was a few years older, so it was normal for her to not be favored, but if there’s another little one... Would Mother Gu still love her?

Ouyang Qing really wanted to get rid of the child in Mother Gu’s womb, but considering that she had to leave the Gu Family now, she was also uneasy.

"Qingqing." At that moment, Mother Gu suddenly awoke. Seeing Ouyang Qing at her bedside, a wave of happiness washed over her heart. Thankfully, Old Mrs. Gu hadn’t driven Ouyang Qing away.

Mother Gu was just about to reach out and touch Ouyang Qing’s head when Father Gu came into the room, holding a cup of water, saying, "Rong, I have good news for you, we’re having a child."

Mother Gu’s face did not show joy; she was stunned for a moment, then asked, "I’m pregnant?"

"Yes, aren’t you happy?" Father Gu joyfully sat in a chair beside Mother Gu’s bed.

Mother Gu hesitated for a moment and then said to Father Gu, "Then in consideration of my pregnancy, Mom won’t make Qingqing leave, right?"

Ouyang Qing, who was initially envious of the child in Mother Gu’s womb, was happy upon hearing Mother Gu’s words. As long as she didn’t have to leave the Gu Family, she was content!
