A quiet mountain village, where the sun rises and sets, the pace of life is very slow.
Gu Xiangjin lived in Xia Yuandan's house and hardly considered himself an outsider.
“New Year’s Day, what will our family have for lunch?”
Gu Xiangjin was sitting on the Taishi chair, his slender legs swaying gently on the table. He was holding a teacup in his hand and was drinking tea slowly.
Xia Yuandan was helpless against his rogueness. He weakly corrected him: "Young Master Gu, this is my home."
"Then what is your family having for lunch today?" Gu Xiangjin changed his words very wisely.
Xia Yuandan walked up to him and once again ordered him to be kicked out: "When will you return to Kyoto?"
Gu Xiangjin pointed at him and accused: "Not only did I promise you my life for saving my life, how dare you drive me away!"
Xia Yuandan really wanted to kick him out of the door.
Gu Xiangjin had been staying at his house for two weeks. When he asked him when he was leaving, he would make jokes. When the question was urgent, he would morally kidnap him with a life-saving favor, which made Xia Yuandan even have to rush him.
But he couldn't bear it anymore today: "You are here to affect my life and Kang An's."
"An extra person like me means an extra pair of chopsticks, and I don't have much to eat. Are you going to chase me away every day?"
Gu Xiangjin defended himself eloquently.
Xia Yuandan said solemnly: "Then how long will you stay?"
Gu Xiangjin frowned: "Xia Yuandan, where is your conscience? Did I treat you badly? Do you need to handle things so harshly? Even if we can't be a couple now, we can still be friends! Which friend do you see? Are you so young?"
Xia Yuandan said seriously: "I have no plans to start a family again, so you don't need to waste your time on me."
"You are so ruthless." Gu Xiangjin turned his face away and stopped looking at him. It was obvious that he was having a temper tantrum.
In the past few days, Xia Yuandan had been trying to persuade Gu Xiangjin to give up the idea of staying at his house, but to no avail.
"Gu Xiangjin, go back quickly! Don't you have nothing to do? Your company doesn't care?"
Xia Yuandan doesn't want Gu Xiangjin to come into his life. Now he and Xia Kang'an live in the village, and their life is dull but comfortable.
He didn't want to get involved in upper class society, and he didn't want to experience humiliation and hurt again.
"I have so many people under me. Do I just get paid and not work? Someone is helping me manage the company. You don't have to worry about this."
Gu Xiangjin joked: "Are you afraid that I can't support you?"
Xia Yuandan glanced at him: "You know I'm not interested in you."
Gu Xiangjin's rogue attitude came back: "As long as I'm interested in you."
"Gu Xiangjin!"
Xia Yuandan's angry voice and the phone's ringtone rang at the same time.
Gu Xiangjin picked up the phone and saw that it was his home phone number. He pressed the call button: "I'm on vacation..."
His voice changed suddenly: "What did you say? What happened to Simeng?"
"How could this happen?"
"How is Simeng doing now?"
"...I'll go back now."
Gu Xiangjin stood up from the recliner, his previous teasing expression when facing Xia Yuandan had long faded.
After hanging up the phone, he said anxiously: "On New Year's Day, my sister was seriously injured and I must return to Kyoto now."
Xia Yuandan hurriedly asked: "Is Miss Gu in danger?"
"Still being treated in the ICU, the situation is not optimistic."
Gu Xiangjin returned to the side room to pack his luggage, "I'll go back first, call me if you need anything."
Xia Yuandan sent him to the entrance of the village, and Gu Xiangjin drove away.

Kyoto, City Hospital.
In the rest area at the entrance of the intensive care unit, Mrs. Yun leaned on crutches and looked at the closed door of the operating room with a worried look on her face.
The housekeeper stayed by her side and advised, "Old madam, don't worry too much! Miss Gu has good luck, and she will definitely be able to escape from danger."
"Si Meng is in danger because she saved me. If anything happens to her, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.
Mrs. Yun was very anxious: "Why isn't the operation over yet?"
Yun Ziqiu came over after hearing the news: "Grandma!"
Mrs. Yun held Yun Ziqiu's hand and choked with sobs: "Ziqiu, you're here! Simeng is still in the operating room."
Yun Ziqiu asked hurriedly: "What's going on? I heard from the housekeeper that there was a kidnapping today! Grandma, are you okay?"
"Today I took Simeng to your Grandma Li's house for a visit. I suddenly encountered kidnappers halfway. They wanted to kidnap Simeng and me for ransom. Fortunately, Simeng was smart and she secretly sent a signal to the bodyguard. We were taken to In an abandoned warehouse, one of the kidnappers' mask suddenly fell off, and we saw his face. The kidnapper wanted to kill someone, but Simeng blocked the knife for me. The bodyguards arrived in time to save us, but Simeng was seriously injured. , and is still being treated in the intensive care unit."
Mrs. Yun's eyes were red and she kept wiping her tears: "The knife stabbed Simeng's lower abdomen, which caused a lot of blood. If he hadn't blocked the knife for me, Simeng's life would not have been in danger."
Yun Ziqiu consoled him: "Grandma, I don't blame you for this! No one wants this to happen."
Mrs. Yun sighed and kept looking at the operating room, hoping that Gu Simeng would be safe and sound.
The Gu family also arrived and waited for Gu Simeng to come out of the operating room.
Two hours later, the operating room door opened from the inside.
The doctor came out and was immediately surrounded.
Mother Gu's eyes were red and she asked: "Doctor, how is my Simeng? Where is the injury?"
The doctor said: "He is out of danger, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation."
Gu's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God! It's really God's blessing!"
Mrs. Yun was relieved: "It's just fine as long as Simeng is fine."
Not long after, Gu Simeng was sent to the ward. Seeing that there were too many relatives and friends in the ward, the nurse reminded: "Just leave two relatives and friends. Too many people are not conducive to the patient's recovery."
Gu's mother and Mrs. Yun stayed, while other relatives and friends left one after another.
Mrs. Yun sat on the edge of the bed with a cane, looking at Gu Simeng's pale face, her eyes full of guilt.
"Old madam, don't worry! Simeng is out of danger, you can go back and rest!"
After hearing Mother Gu's persuasion, Mrs. Yun waved her hand: "I will go back when Simeng wakes up. If it weren't for me, Simeng wouldn't be hurt."
"Old lady, don't say that! No one wants what happened today. Fortunately, God bless you!"
Looking at the sick Gu Simeng, Gu's mother choked up and said, "Simeng has suffered! Her illness will definitely affect her wedding date."
Mrs. Yun: "The wedding can be postponed as long as Simeng can be safe and sound."
In the afternoon, Gu Simeng woke up.
The stab wound was in the abdomen, and she lost too much blood and turned pale.
Mrs. Yun held her hand and said with gratitude: "Si Meng, grandma has caused you trouble in this matter!"
"Grandma, don't say that!" Gu Simeng smiled weakly.
Gu's mother felt extremely distressed: "You are so impulsive! Those kidnappers are all desperadoes, and they will be merciless. You should wait for the bodyguards to come over, and you should not confront them head-on."
"Mom, the situation was urgent at that time. I only thought about protecting grandma and had no time to think about other things."
Gu Simeng said sincerely: "As long as grandma is fine! I can recover quickly after being stabbed when I was young."
Mrs. Yun was so grateful that she held Gu Simeng's hand tightly: "Si Meng! You are so kind-hearted. Grandma will always remember your kindness! Without you, I would be the one lying here today. That knife can kill Killed me."
Gu Simeng said: "Grandma, I really regard you as my own grandma."
Mrs. Yun patted her hand and praised, "It is our Yun family's blessing that Ziqiu can marry you."
Gu Simeng smiled shyly.
Gu's mother also laughed: "Old madam, my Simeng is a good boy with a kind heart and a down-to-earth nature. From now on, our Yun and Gu families are of the same mind."
Mrs. Yun nodded with a smile.
The three of them were talking when the door of the ward was knocked.
After getting permission, the director and the attending doctor pushed the door open and entered.
Mrs. Yun asked: "How long will it take for Simeng's injury to recover?"
The director looked at Gu Simeng with the medical records, and the two made eye contact without any trace.
The director followed the pre-colluded argument and said, "The stab wound on Miss Gu's abdomen is not life-threatening, but this stab wound injured the uterus."
"What?" Mother Gu exclaimed, "What will happen if the uterus is injured? Will it affect fertility?"
The director said regretfully: "I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant in the future."
"No! Your diagnosis must be wrong."
Gu's mother felt like she was struck by lightning, and her face instantly turned pale.
Gu Simeng cooperated and pretended to be deeply shocked.
In fact, the kidnapping and injuries were all directed and performed by her, in order to make the Yun family think that her infertility was caused by the injuries she sustained while saving Mrs. Yun, rather than her own fault.
Mrs. Yun, who feels so guilty, will definitely not cancel the engagement.
The director took out the fake diagnosis results and explained them carefully, which made Mrs. Yun feel guilty.
After the director and the doctor left, Mrs. Yun held Gu Simeng's hand and kept saying, "Simeng, don't be sad! There must be a way to cure it."
Gu Simeng cried and said: "The director has already said that if the uterus is damaged, I will not be able to have children in the future."
Gu's mother also cried together: "My Meng'er is so pitiful! She loses the qualifications to be a mother at such a young age."
"Simeng, I will find the best doctor in the world to treat you. Don't worry, grandma will definitely find a way to cure you."
Mrs. Yun left the hospital after comforting Gu Simeng.
On the way back, Mrs. Yun thought a lot. If Gu Simeng was really sterile, could she still have this granddaughter-in-law?
Yun Ziqiu is a single descendant, and the Yun family cannot just die.
Of course Gu Simeng knew Mrs. Yun's concerns, and she had already thought of a way to deal with them.
While she was recuperating in the hospital, the Gu family called in several groups of doctors for consultation, and they all said that there was no chance of recovery from her loss of fertility.
Mrs. Yun learned about this and rushed to the hospital in a hurry.
As soon as she walked to the door of the VIP ward, she saw Gu's mother and several escorts standing anxiously outside the door.
"Si Meng, please open the door!"
"Si Meng, don't scare mom!"
"Hurry up and open the door!"
"Speak carefully if you have something to say! Don't overthink it!"
Gu's mother was anxious, and she said to the bodyguard: "Kick the door open!"
Mrs. Yun quickly asked: "What happened?"
Mother Gu cried: "Simeng locked herself in the ward, and she wouldn't open the door no matter how hard she called. I'm afraid she will do something stupid!"
Mrs. Yun screamed: "Kick the door open quickly!"
"Kick the door quickly!" Gu's mother directed the bodyguards to kick open the door to the ward.
The door was kicked open forcefully, and Gu Simeng was holding a knife to cut his wrists.
Gu's mother screamed: "Ah! Simeng! Put down the knife quickly."
"Don't stop me, just let me die!"
Gu Simeng waved the knife and was about to cut his wrist, but the bodyguard rushed over and snatched the knife away.
Gu Simeng threw herself on her chest and cried loudly: "Why does God do this to me? Why does God let me suffer everything?"
Mrs. Yun was anxious and guilty when she saw that she was seeking death: "Si Meng, you must not do anything stupid! Grandma is sorry for you! It's all because of grandma that you are hurt."
"Grandma!" Gu Simeng threw herself on Mrs. Yun, crying until her heart broke.
"Grandma, I can't be your granddaughter-in-law. I can't give birth to a child, and I can't leave an offspring for the Yun family."
Mrs. Yun immediately comforted her: "There will be a way! Now that medical treatment is so advanced, there must be a way to cure your disease."
"It can't be cured!" Gu Simeng said excitedly: "Let Mr. Yun and Xia Yuandan be together! They already have children. I am a third party. Is it because God wants to punish me for interfering in their relationship? This will deprive me of my qualifications to be a mother."
Mrs. Yun heard the key point in her tone: "Simeng, you...what did you say? Ziqiu and Xia Yuandan have a child?"
The expression on Gu Simeng's face froze, and she quickly moved her eyes away, her expression showing guilt.
Mrs. Yun sensed something was wrong with her mood and held her wrist: "Si Meng, please speak clearly. How could Guiziqiu give birth to a child on Xia Yuan Day? Wasn't the child aborted?"
Gu Simeng seemed to be helpless, she cried and said, "It's Xia Kang'an."
Mrs. Yun was confused: "Xia Kang'an and Zi Qiu have nothing to do with each other."
Gu Simeng closed her eyes in pain: "Xia Kangan is the son of Yun Ziqiu and Xia Yuandan. Xia Yuandan has been lying. He left Kyoto four years ago to get pregnant and returned to the village to give birth to Xia Kangan."
Mrs. Yun suddenly widened her eyes: "You...what you said is true?"
Gu Simeng cried and nodded: "It's true! Xia Kang'an is really Mr. Yun's son."
Mrs. Yun was extremely shocked: "But why doesn't Ziqiu know about this?"
Gu Simeng cried and said: "That day Xia Kangan cried and asked for Xia Yuandan. He called 'Dad' in desperation and said some strange words. I have some doubts about the relationship between him and Mr. Yun." So I sent someone to do DNA. The result..."
"I never told the truth. I was afraid that Yun Shaohui and Xia Yuandan would rekindle their old relationship. Now that I have lost the qualifications to be a mother, what rights do I have to stop them from getting together?"
Gu Simeng cried until she died.
Gu's mother advised: "Si Meng, you must not do anything stupid!"
"Mom, I really can't live anymore! If I can't give birth to a child, I will become a laughing stock in Kyoto's wealthy circles."
Gu Simeng said and threw herself at the window: "I might as well die!"
Gu's mother hugged her waist and cried: "Si Meng, please don't do anything stupid!"
Gu Simeng held on to the window and was about to jump off the building. Gu's mother and escorts grabbed her from left to right to stop her from committing suicide.
Mrs. Yun felt very guilty when she saw this scene.
She felt that it was her fault that caused Gu Simeng to lose her fertility.
"Si Meng, grandma promises you that the young lady of the Yun family will only be you. As for the child...if Xia Kang'an is really Ziqiu's son, grandma will let him be your son."
