This time, Luo Qinghan finally understood. Gu Tingyun was meticulously precise, but she couldn't fathom why a man like Gu Tingyun had a daughter like Gu Ming.
It was truly difficult to comprehend.
Seeing Luo Qinghan sign all the contracts, Gu Tingyun seemed to have a weight lifted from his shoulders.
"Uncle Gu, it's like this... I heard Gu Ming is recuperating in the hospital. Having just recovered from a serious illness, she needs a lot of money for her convalescence... If you're short on funds, please don't hesitate to ask me." After signing the contracts, Luo Qinghan felt a pang of sympathy.
"No need."
Gu Tingyun shook his head. "Doctor Ming has instructed me to set aside funds to ensure my daughter's recovery."
"That's good then."
"Ms. Luo, I'll come to work in a couple of days. Is that alright?" Gu Tingyun asked.
As for why he would come to work in a couple of days, Luo Qinghan understood perfectly.
He needed to take care of his daughter.
"Of course, Uncle Gu. You can wait until Gu Ming has fully recovered before coming back to work. It's alright," Luo Qinghan said quickly.
"No... there are many matters at the company that require oversight. I don't have that much time."
Gu Tingyun sighed and turned, leaving with a stooped posture.
In recent days, he looked more than ten years older.
Seeing this, Luo Qinghan felt uneasy, but she couldn't change anything.
These matters were clearly related to Lin Xiao. Gu Ming's mistakes required Gu Tingyun, her father, to bear the consequences.
After Gu Tingyun left, she hurriedly dialed Lin Xiao's number.
"Lin Xiao, Gu Tingyun has transferred all of the Gu family's assets to me... Was this your request?" Luo Qinghan asked urgently. "Isn't this going too far for him?"
"I didn't ask for it?" Lin Xiao immediately feigned ignorance. "Didn't my friend's side not have the capacity to manage it, so they handed the company over to you? What's too much?"
"Just keep pretending to be ignorant!"
Luo Qinghan pouted. She was too lazy to press further. It was clear she wouldn't get a genuine answer from Lin Xiao.
The call ended, and Lin Xiao shrugged. "Using money to buy a daughter's life is the most normal thing."
...
Gu Ming had already woken up. She sat on the hospital bed as the nurse beside her held a bowl of medicine and brought it to her lips. "Miss Gu, drink your medicine."
She mechanically turned her head to look at the nurse but didn't open her mouth.
"Miss Gu, these are all arranged by Mr. Gu. They are for your recovery," the young nurse said urgently. It had been so long, and no matter what medicine, Gu Ming just wouldn't take it.
How could this be? Especially now, when Gu Ming had just recovered from a serious illness and needed nourishment the most.
"You leave..."
Gu Ming's voice was extremely hoarse. Just listening to her voice, no one would believe this Gu Ming was the same person as the well-known socialite of Sha City before.
"But..." The young nurse had been paid, and Gu Tingyun had specifically instructed her. She naturally wouldn't dare to leave just like that if told to. She stood there, feeling out of place.
"I said, get lost!" Gu Ming roared loudly.
Startled by her outburst, the young nurse quickly lowered her head, put down the medicine, and prepared to leave, muttering, "What kind of person is she? I'm trying to be kind and feed you medicine, what are you being so arrogant about."
