Chapter 126: Chapter 126
The still present Guan Heng hurried inside, "Jing!"
Guan Jing was lying on the ground, his hands bound, his complexion flushed, eyes red and brimming with tears, filled with despair.
He opened his mouth, making hoarse sounds from his throat.
"Jing... are you okay?" Guan Heng noticed that the knot tying Guan Jing was a knot their mother often used.
Guan Jing didn’t speak, but his whole body emanated an aura of lifelessness.
Being betrayed by the father he revered most was such a painful experience.
This day was supposed to be his happiest day.
He had finally reached adulthood.
But his biological father gave him a coming-of-age gift he would never forget.
His father drugged him, wanting him to... with his mother...
Guan Jing was expressionless, with tears continuously streaking down his face. In the first half of his life, he lived in luxury; his mother was strict but loved them dearly.
He thought he would never shed so many tears in his lifetime as he did today.
And these tears, they were because of his father...
Father, what irony...
How could he face his mother now? How could he face every relative in the Guan Family?
At this moment, Guan Jing truly wished he could just die!
"Jing, this isn’t your fault..." Guan Heng untied his ropes, whispering, "You did nothing wrong."
The most innocent person in today’s events was Guan Jing.
Guan Jing closed his eyes, facing the wall, hugged himself with a sob, not daring to look at his elder brother.
Why would he do this to me?
Even to the end, Father didn’t offer a single explanation! Am I really so insignificant?
Guan Heng wanted to pat his shoulder, to say something comforting, but ultimately, he pulled his hand back, not saying a word.
He thought Guan Jing probably wanted some peace and quiet now.
From outside, hurried footsteps approached again; Guan Heng turned to see the family doctor.
He stood aside, allowing the doctor to administer an antidote and sedative to Guan Jing.
Guan Jing remained motionless, allowing himself to be handled...
After a long time, the medication took effect, Guan Jing’s complexion gradually returned to normal, and he tiredly fell asleep.
Yet his brows remained tightly furrowed.
Guan Heng sighed as he left Guan Jing’s room.
Downstairs, there were many worried eyes.
They all knew what had happened.
"Big brother... is third brother okay?" a worried young man asked.
Guan Lingxue had six children, five of whom were male.
He was the eldest; the second brother was studying abroad and hadn’t returned, and the fourth and fifth were twin brothers, only twelve this year.
He and the second brother were both abroad previously; the younger ones, fourth and fifth, were close in age and had the best relationship with the third brother.
"He’ll be fine..." Guan Heng patted the twins’ shoulders, "Let your third brother rest first, then you can see him when he wakes up."
He hoped the third brother could get through this ordeal.
The twins nodded, "Okay!"
"I’ll go find your future sister-in-law; stay here with your parents and grandfather." Guan Heng didn’t forget that Yu Man was still in his room.
He wanted to assure Yu Man of their safety.
He was really grateful to Yu Man for her warning today.
"Got it!" the twins said.
Garrett hadn’t expected that coming to the Guan Family with Mu Zhi would allow him to witness such events...
"Old Sir, we won’t disturb you any more today; we’ll visit another day," Garrett said, "We’ll keep today’s events private."
Mu Zhi nodded blankly, "Yes..."
"It’s our lack of hospitality," Old Sir Guan nodded, "I’ll have someone see you out."
"Goodbye, Old Sir." Mu Zhi took Mu Yaoyao’s hand, "Let’s go."
Mu Yaoyao was in a daze.
Today’s events had happened, just like in their past life.
But the outcome was drastically different.
Guan Lingxue wasn’t harmed, but instead captured the traitor...
Mu Yaoyao felt a little lost, absentmindedly letting Mu Zhi lead her away.
Yu Man was waiting in the room for Guan Heng to return.
Finally, the door made a sound.
Guan Heng opened the door.
"How is it? Has it been resolved? Is everything okay?"
Guan Heng nodded, "It’s been resolved."
"Sister, thank you..."
"Just as you said." Hugh Koch drugged Guan Jing, nearly knocked out their mother, and tried to inject her with poison.
He didn’t know how Yu Man accurately knew everything, but since he promised Yu Man not to ask, he wouldn’t ask or reveal it to anyone.
Fortunately, everything was resolved... even capturing the deepest insider.
It seemed to be resolved.
But who would heal the psychological scars of the mother and third brother?
Guan Heng felt deeply saddened.
"Everything will get better." Yu Man comforted.
Guan Heng looked at Yu Man, his gaze with traces of vulnerability, "Sister, can I hug you?"
Yu Man opened her arms, "Go ahead."
Guan Heng gently wrapped his arms around Yu Man’s waist, leaving a little space between them. The source of thɪs content is NovєlFіre.net
He hadn’t forgotten that Yu Man was pregnant.
Yu Man patted his back without saying a word.
"Thank you." Guan Heng didn’t hold her for long, and his gaze gradually restored its usual resolve.
"Mr. Guan, I want to hug you too!" Yu Manman wrapped her arms around Guan Heng’s leg, giving him a smile.
"Mr. Guan, everything will be fine in the future!" Yu Manman said sincerely.
Since Guan Lingxue’s ordeal was over, no matter what the Guan Family faced in the future, they would undoubtedly get through it safely!
"Yes, it will." Guan Heng’s gaze softened as he lifted Yu Manman, "Come on, Manman, I’ll take you all downstairs to eat!"
Because of Hugh Koch, everyone was silent about it, and the originally lively atmosphere was somewhat too quiet.
Yu Manman obediently ate without saying much.
Guan Heng escorted them home.
"I originally planned to formally introduce you to everyone during my third brother’s birthday, but I didn’t expect..."
Guan Heng’s eyes were slightly downcast.
"It’s okay; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Yu Man smiled, got out of the car, and said to Guan Heng, "Have a good sleep tonight, and think about what to do in the future tomorrow."
"Okay, I will." Guan Heng smiled slightly.
Yu Man stepped forward, slightly tiptoed, and left a kiss on his cheek, "Good night, fiancé."
Yu Man smiled, took Manman, and headed home.
Guan Heng touched the lingering sensation on his face, his heart softening.
The first time he saw Yu Man, he liked this bright woman, her presence in red crashing into his world, as if only that color remained in his eyes.
Initially, his interest in her might have been driven by physical attraction at first sight.
But later, he began to admire her talent, every move she made tugging at his heart.
Now, he would forever be loyal to her gentle heart...
[Ding! Congratulations on helping Guan Heng clear the grievances of his brother and mother; you must have gone through immense hardship! Congratulations on completing the task! The future is promising! Reward: Prediction Device!]"
