What was going on?

The doctor took off Gu Yubai's s.h.i.+rt, revealing his bloodied back. His face grew pale, his blood flowed out like a stream. The doctors and nurses were busy trying to control it.

How could this be? Those wounds look like whiplashes. Who dared to hit him? And to this extent!

“It's Gu Shao.” Qin Yue said. If not for this woman Gu Yubai would not have canceled his marriage with the Zhous and his father wouldn't be so angry. In his memory, Gu's father never laid such a heavy hand on Gu Yubai. Even when he shamed the young military officer, he was only punished to carry weights across a five kilometers road and a week of confinement.

But this time, Gu's father used his military belt to discipline him. Then, no one was allowed to take care of him. He suffered during the five-day confinement. Although Gu Shao was over 70 years old, his body was still robust. He could cause a lot of damage with his fist, let alone the whip.

“He was imprisoned for five days, he was released yesterday. He had a fever but insisted on meeting you this afternoon,” Qin Yue said to Lin Meng in a calm but fierce tone.

Gu Laozi loved his grandson very much, but when it came to his principles, he showed no mercy. Gu Yubai had not dared to rebel against him for so many years. Now he said that no one was allowed to take care of him for five days. No one dared to release him and do anything against his order.

The doctor left an hour after the procedure began. Qin Yue and Lin Meng entered the ward one after the other. Gu Yubai was asleep; his pale face looked much better.

Grandpa Gu… was he not always sensitive to his grandson's pain? How could he harm him, that too so harshly? He looked like an amiable, friendly old man. Besides, Gu Yubai was thirty now, corporal punishment was too much. What had happened to provoked Grandpa to that extent?

He suffered such heavy injury and still insisted on meeting her. She had also said harsh things to him. Lin Meng, though a kind person, was, in fact, selfish.

She always thought of her own feelings, caring only about her own people. As for others, she didn't care much. It was like five years ago when she was with Gu Yubai, she never considered his feelings. From the very beginning, she thought she and Gu Yubai were similar kinds of people. Both were pa.s.sionate and ruthless and didn't care about the world.

Before they started dating, he had no fixed girlfriend. There were always a lot of women around him.

She thought that even if they were entangled, there would be no harm done to each other. There was nothing but a relations.h.i.+p between them. She used him to make her lover jealous. To let him know that she was a young beautiful and desirable woman.

She never thought of spending a lifetime with him. She was not his soul mate, just a pa.s.serby. She saw how he treated other women. In her eyes, he was an aimless and ruthless man. He was good to her, and Jun saw them together.

Gu Yubai may not have been a dependable man, but he was a good friend, loyal to his bones.
