But, it was a good thing.
“Let’s go,” Emma said.
Gu Qingli gestured for Ziyan to wait and walked out to join Emma.
“You noticed, didn’t you?” Emma laughed.
“Auntie’s exp**ssion was so obvious that I wasn’t the only one that noticed it; Ziyan noticed it too,” Gu Qingli smiled gently. “Although I can’t figure out what Auntie has a misunderstanding about, I can tell that she doesn’t have a good imp**ssion of me.”
“Qingli, I know it isn’t right for the older generation to interfere with the matters of the younger generation. In particular, I don’t think we have the right to question your past. But, I hope you take Yan Er’s feelings into consideration before you do anything. She needs your care at a time like this.”
“Mom, I don’t know what Auntie’s seen or what she’s misunderstood, but Ziyan is my first love. Although we haven’t known each other or been married for long, I can guarantee that I’ve always kept a distance from women and never overstepped my boundaries,” Gu Qingli replied in seriousness.
“If I’ve been in a relationship before or I’ve been entangled with another woman in some way, I have no reason to hide it.”
“All I needed was for you to tell me this.”
After Emma finished listening to Gu Qingli’s response she nodded her head. Gu Qingli had been very patient.
Emma trusted Gu Qingli, but she also trusted Chester, so she was sure that there was a misunderstanding.
“By the way, have you been to this hospital before?”
“Today was my first time,” Gu Qingli replied.
“OK,” Emma replied. “Go back and take care of Yan Er. Nothing is more important than her and your child at the moment.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Gu Qingli was smart. Emma’s questions obviously meant that Chester had seen him at the hospital before, and on top of that, she had seen him there with a woman.
But, it was true that he had never been there before.
Perhaps, Chester had seen someone else or she had remembered incorrectly.
After realizing what was happening, Gu Qingli returned to the hospital room. But, Ziyan immediately questioned him, “What did Mom say?”
“Judging by what your mother said, it seems as though your auntie saw me at the hospital with another woman and is unhappy because of that,” Gu Qingli explained calmly.
“In that case, have you been here before?” Ziyan asked.
Gu Qingli shook his head, “Of course not. You’ve familiarized yourself with my life over the last 4 years, haven’t you?”
“That’s true.”
“But…” Gu Qingli dragged out this word, gesturing that he had some uncertainties, “…I believe what your auntie saw because she has no reason to slander me.”
“Either way, I trust in you, Brother Four. No one understands you better than I do.”
“I’m glad you do. Now, get some rest,” Gu Qingli said as he helped Ziyan lie down. “Everything else aside, I’m worried about you because you’re both pregnant and unwell.”
“Don’t worry, Auntie and Uncle are both highly skilled doctors. I will definitely be OK.”
Gu Qingli nodded his head before he gestured for her to close her eyes.
Afterwards, he decided it was time to meet with Chester. If this misunderstanding continued and Ziyan got hurt in the process, what would he do?
So, after Ziyan fell asleep, Gu Qingli stepped out and headed to Chester’s office…
At that time, Chester was in the middle of looking at some hospital records. When she lifted her head and saw Gu Qingli, she felt a strong dislike towards him.
“Auntie…”
“Don’t call me Auntie, I haven’t acknowledged you yet,” Chester replied. “What do you want?”
Gu Qingli sat down in front of Chester and finally said after a short pause, “I know you don’t particularly like me and you may even have a bias against me. Although I don’t know the reason why you feel this way and why you’re so frustrated around me, I hope I can sit down and chat with you so we can clarify everything.”
“Otherwise, it will be tough for Mom and Ziyan to be stuck in the middle.”
“So, you’re aware of that,” Chester humphed. “In that case, let me ask you a question: have you ever been to this hospital before?”
“This is my first time here.”
“But, I’m sure I’ve seen you come here with a woman to get an abortion,” Chester replied. “It’s not often that I see men like you here. That’s why I remember you.”
After hearing this, Gu Qingli felt a little lost, “In that case, Auntie, do you remember what day that was?”
“It wasn’t that long ago; less than a year.”
Gu Qingli thought for a second and answered innocently, “Ziyan is my first and only girlfriend. I’ve been a professor for many years, living life bet**en work and home and never coming in excessive contact with women. If I had been with a woman, I’m sure Ziyan would have known, since she was watching me for 4 years.”
“So, you’re saying that I made a mistake?” Chester asked with a raised eyebrow.
“If you saw me in the hospital, Auntie, I’m sure the hospital has surveillance cameras and hospital records for you to check.”
“Then, before I check those out, you don’t need to s**k up to me. That will only make me dislike you more.”
“OK,” Gu Qingli nodded his head. “I’ll leave Ziyan in your hands then.”
After speaking, Gu Qingli stood up and left, not giving Chester any chance to hate him more. He then did as he promised. Even when Chester visited Ziyan’s room to run some tests, Gu Qingli did not say a word. This made Chester feel a lot more comfortable around him.
At least, his patience wasn’t bad.
Of course, after Emma discovered that Chester was suspicious of her son-in-law, she knew Chester was bound to give him attitude, so she told Eric about the situation and asked him to do some research into Gu Qingli’s history.
The Roborts Family all had reason to believe Gu Qingli’s innocence, but they had to make Chester believe him too.
At this time, Zichen heard about the situation. So, before Eric got the chance to investigate Gu Qingli’s background, he handed Emma a case study, “Back when I first discovered Ziyan’s interest in Gu Qingli, I already ran a background check on him. You can show this information to Auntie.”
“Qingli is indeed someone that deserves our trust.”
Emma accepted the information and had a read through Gu Qingli’s history. It was so thorough that she even learned about his childhood.
From this information, she finally understood why Ziyan liked Gu Qingli so much. He was a man that had gone through a lot of hardship, yet he still had such a gentle heart. It was no surprise that Ziyan found him attractive.
“Oh, this Auntie. In the past, she didn’t like seeing you argue with Elodie, so she hid from the conflict and stayed at the hospital all day, refusing to take sides. Yet, she can’t help but fight against unfairness.”
“Your Auntie’s always been like that,” Emma laughed.
She then took the information with her to the hospital.
However, Gu Qingli had already received a scolding from Chester.
After all, she had never been nice to him. But, even so, Gu Qingli did not make a single complaint.
Where did he learn this tolerance from?
Soon, Emma arrived at the hospital with Gu Qingli’s case study and handed it to Chester, “Even if you don’t believe what Gu Qingli said, I’m sure you believe in Kaleidoscope and Zichen’s research. If Zichen’s never objected against this relationship, then shouldn’t you question whether you made a mistake?”
Chester took a deep breath and waited a few seconds before she opened up the information. She then looked through everything from beginning to end, “This child went through all this?”
“That’s why you should treat him nicer. With his wealth, he’s actually a very clean and honest person to only have Ziyan.”
Chester sighed and finally nodded her head, “I understand…”
Actually, Gu Qingli’s performance was worthy of brownie points from the start.
He was attentive of Ziyan and he was respectful towards Emma. As for the way he treated Chester…
Even when her attitude was extremely unreasonable, he did not lose his temper once. So, after Chester looked at all the information, her image of Gu Qingli began to change.
“If you’ve realized that you wrongly accused him, you should go and apologize.”
“But, I’m sure I saw him that day.”
“People have similarities. How could you be so sure that the person you saw was Gu Qingli?”
“Forget it, I was wrong this time, OK?”
So, when it came time for her to do her rounds, Chester walked into Ziyan’s room and said to Gu Qingli, “You were right, I misunderstood you.”
Gu Qingli shook his head, gesturing that he didn’t mind. Meanwhile, Ziyan smiled and said, “Auntie, I practically knew where Brother Four was at all times during the four years that I watched over him. So, from the moment that you said he came in contact with another woman, I was the first to not believe you.”
“It’s lucky that you trusted Gu Qingli so much. Otherwise, I would have been a disgusting person that drove a wedge bet**en you.”
“Brother Four wouldn’t think of you like that,” Ziyan said. “By the way, how’s my body doing?”
“That’s right, Auntie, how’s Ziyan’s condition?”
When it came to Ziyan’s condition, Chester immediately turned serious, “Over the last two days, we’ve discovered that your tumor has grown larger. So…”
“So is it malignant?” Gu Qingli asked as he stood up.
“We will keep it under observation for another two days, if it continues to grow, then you will need to prepare yourselves; the child needs to go…”
After hearing this, Ziyan gripped onto the blanket in front of her and her eyes began to turn red, “Auntie, do I have no choice but to have an abortion?”
“What do you think? You can always have another child, but you can’t ignore the well-being of your body. This is not a choice but a notification.”
Gu Qingli took this opportunity to hold onto Ziyan’s hand, “Don’t be afraid. Listen to Auntie, OK?”
Ziyan took a deep breath. She couldn’t bear to let go. After all, it was a life, and most importantly, it was her and Gu Qingli’s child.
“Brother Four…”
“You’re from the Roborts Family, can’t you pull through a small matter like this?” Chester challenged.
“Of course I can,” Ziyan said as she held onto Gu Qingli’s hand. “Auntie, everything’s fine here, you can go back to what you were doing.”
Chester nodded her head. After all, Gu Qingli was by her side, so she assumed he would be able to comfort her.
“Brother Four, can I really not keep this child?”
