Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523: Chapter 550 Near Death

No matter what, I must secure benefits for my child. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be wasting this great opportunity? Moreover, she thought grimly, these past years, even though she was nominally the mistress of the Gu Family, she hadn’t had much power due to her father-in-law, and she really liked the room he was staying in.

Now that the old man was about to go, could she take the chance to handle that room? Just thinking about it made her incredibly happy. She wanted to replace the curtains and bed with ones she liked, and also completely remodel the old man’s study.

The old man’s savings would go towards buying a house for Gu Juntao.

But she never expected her son, Gu Juntao, not to listen and instead turn around to call Gu Junming.

He didn’t want to make it like other families, always wanting to stage some inheritance battle. After getting married and having children, Gu Juntao had changed as a person.

Gu Junming hurriedly drove to pick up Sun Chan, who was in class and got called out. Knowing that her grandfather was not doing well, she panicked and quickly followed Gu Junming to the hospital.

On the way, Gu Junming kept observing Sun Chan’s expression.

Sun Chan smiled at him, "Don’t worry, I’m fine, really."

"I know, I just feel like this pregnancy of yours has been utterly thrilling, with everything happening at once. I’m worried."

"In such terrible circumstances, he’s still living so strongly; don’t you think that’s a good thing?" Sun Chan placed her hand on her belly, having indeed been through a lot.

Yes, with constant turmoil, nearly kidnapped, and even a poisoning attempt! These were unimaginable events, yet they all happened. But every check-up showed extraordinary health, and Sun Chan felt it was a miracle. She believed that once this child was born, he would be incredibly healthy, having faced everything already. What was there to worry about? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Sun Chan looked at Gu Junming, "You’re the one who’s most anxious. I worry about you."

Gu Junming smiled, looking at the road ahead, "I didn’t get many chances to interact with my grandfather, but I knew he was a righteous man, teaching me many lessons in life. He also taught me not to rely on the family and to strive on my own. I admire him. I’ll learn from him."

"Yes, be strong."

Gu Junming nodded, indeed, life isn’t easy, and we must live strongly.

Wang Guihua and others had arrived early. Seeing Gu Junming finally show up, she was very disappointed and glared at her son.

However, Gu Juntao, being a straightforward person, ignored his mother’s reaction. Yang Hongying was the last to arrive, rushing in, and Gu Juntao quickly went to greet her.

She hurriedly asked, "How is it going?"

"Still waiting for news, hoping it’s nothing serious," Gu Juntao replied.

"Why are you only just arriving? You’re the closest after all, yet you were the last to come? Don’t tell me you were sleeping at home?" Wang Guihua said coldly.

"I had to leave the child with a neighbor, causing some delay, and I don’t have the habit of sleeping during the day. Moreover, I have been continuously busy, never idle," Yang Hongying replied calmly.

Wang Guihua’s face changed, feeling that Yang Hongying’s mention of day sleeping and idleness was directed at her. Was this a jab at me?

The daughter-in-law dared speak against her mother-in-law. Instantly furious, she wanted to lash out, but seeing her husband’s cold gaze, she swallowed her anger, leaving her chest aching with frustration.

Back when she and Gu Junming announced their relationship, no one agreed except the old man, who said she was great and stood by her. She was deeply grateful in her heart.

The old man laughed, "You’re sensible, I’m at ease!"

He then had some words for Yang Hongying, who listened with tears in her eyes.

The old man continued, "My savings will be divided into four parts, two parts for my two grandsons, one for Gu Zishan, and the last one for... Liu Weihong."

Wang Guihua’s face turned green, thinking that share would naturally belong to her, only to find it going to Gu Zishan’s ex-wife!

She was about to explode but was tightly held by Gu Zishan beside her, who warned her through his gaze not to speak up.

Furious, but with the old man about to pass, she realized arguing over inheritance would ruin her reputation.

The old man continued, "The house I’m living in was given to me by the organization for my care. After I go, it’s not impossible for you to stay, but like Mr. Yang and Bai Chuan after retirement, you’ll have to return it. I’ve already reported it, so you will need to move out then. Gu Zishan’s rank should afford a good house."

"Dad! How can this be!" Wang Guihua was completely broken down. What was happening? All her plans fell apart, what was the point of marrying if she gained nothing!

Gu Zishan said, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ve long written the application. Our family is small, and I’m always away, with the two sons not living with us, so we don’t need such a big house. We’ll just return it then."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, "Good, let’s not trouble the state." With that, he closed his eyes, murmuring, "Really sorry to the Liu Family, if possible, I’d truly like to apologize personally. It’s all my fault."
