Chapter 1246: Chapter 1150: Gu Zhaohan Woke Up

Gu Qichen nodded.

These past few days, Xia Yangyang had been somewhat restless.

She sent Little Five to investigate Uncle Bai’s past records.

They hadn’t turned up any connection between him and Gu Shengyuan.

But that was to be expected.

Uncle Bai had been at Culture Hall for so many years, if there were parts of his past he wanted to conceal, they would have been destroyed long ago.

Xia Yangyang thought to herself, let it be.

After all, even if they discovered a connection between Uncle Bai and Gu Shengyuan, what would it prove?

Besides, it was all in the past.

She had recently heard from Ah Shui that godfather had permanently disbanded Culture Hall.

Her eldest brother had died, her second brother and Phoenix’s whereabouts were unknown, Little Five was autistic, and Ah Shui wasn’t cut out to be a leader.

What’s more, at Phoenix’s wedding, many of the Culture Hall’s Hall Masters, godfather’s brothers and disciples, were either killed or wounded.

Godfather had long since lost the will to lead Culture Hall and had announced his retirement from that world.

Xia Yangyang felt it was for the best.

A life spent fighting and navigating grey areas, though fearsome, had made countless enemies and left little time for peaceful sleep.

Once godfather had disbanded Culture Hall and sorted everything out,

Xia Yangyang wanted to bring him over to live with them.

She had mentioned it to Gu Qichen several times, and he hadn’t objected.

Gu Qichen’s memories of his father had always been lacking.

But Xia Yangyang knew clearly that he cared in his heart.

They were father and son after all, needing time to get along and to adjust to each other.

Xia Yangyang hoped that one day, the two of them would be able to open up and resolve their emotional knots.

After another two days,

Xia Yangyang suddenly received a call from Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu told Xia Yangyang that Gu Zhaohan had woken up.

When Xia Yangyang heard the news, she was so shocked she couldn’t speak for half a minute.

Then she suddenly burst into tearful sobs.

Heaven had finally heard her daily prayers.

Gu Zhaohan had finally woken up.

After regaining her composure, Xia Yangyang immediately called Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen’s reaction was the same as Xia Yangyang’s, his eyes eventually turning red.

That very afternoon, they dropped everything, left Xia Ye in Grandma’s care, and both went to Beijing.

They went straight to the Xi Family upon arrival.

It was said that Gu Mingzhu, as usual, was giving him a sponge bath this morning.

Just as the water reached his neck, Gu Zhaohan faintly uttered: “Mom, I’m hungry.”

Gu Mingzhu said that at the time, she thought this sentence was the sound of heaven.

She had thought she was hallucinating.

Then she held Gu Zhaohan and burst into loud crying.

This drew a lot of people.

The junior maids, not dressed in sterile attire, couldn’t enter the room, and seeing Gu Mingzhu acting like this, they thought Gu Zhaohan had passed away and hurried to report to Xi Jiachen.

Xi Jiachen was in the company holding a shareholders’ meeting when he received the call from home; he almost fainted.

He rushed home frantically.

After returning, he found that his precious son had awakened.

He ended up crying with Gu Mingzhu in his arms.

The family had never seen the master cry like a child before.

It wasn’t until Gu Zhaohan said another sentence: “It’s too noisy, stop crying,” that they stopped.

In the past, the atmosphere in the Xi Family household had always been gloomy and oppressive.

Even though there were many maids, almost no one dared to speak.

The maid who made the mistaken call today had been trembling with fear.

But Xi Jiachen did not fire her; instead, he rewarded all the housemaids and servants, saying he would give everyone a small apartment.
