Many of the people living in the slums were locals, and had long developed feelings for this area, so when Gu Wan suggested for them to move out, many of them shook their heads and rejected Gu Wan's suggestion.
Even though Gu Wan had promised them good benefits, these people still stubbornly did not want to move.
"Madam Gong, it's not that we don't want to live in those big cities, it's just that our ancestors have lived here for generations, and have long taken root here. Even if we want to leave, we don't have the intention to do so."
"That's right, for as long as I can remember, my family has brought me to live here, and we have never left this place. No matter how high your price is, we will not go against the teachings of our ancestors, so it's better if you leave, and rent a house somewhere else."
Gu Wan did not expect this group of people to change their minds so quickly. They had clearly agreed on it before, but now, she did not know why, but they were unwilling to leave this place no matter what.
She frowned unhappily, then tried to persuade them with kind words, "Old man, even if you don't want to live a good life, shouldn't you think for your children and grandchildren? They are still so young, and are at the right age to go to school, yet they have to follow you here and suffer. Are you really that selfish? "
Gu Wan had long heard that although the people here were simple, they were more feudal in comparison. The older generation believed in superstitious ideas, and were unable to take the steps of the new era.
However, although this was the slum area, there weren't many so-called elderly people as far as the eye could see. There were only dirty children who were rolling around who knew where.
They looked at Gu Wan and her group with pure and simple eyes, their big eyes filled with confusion, but more of it was curiosity and yearning towards these outsiders.
Gu Wan clenched her teeth, and wanted to continue persuading them to move out, "Old man, why don't you give me a price? As long as I can move out of this place, I'm willing to pay any price!"
The old man in this house was also angry. No matter what, he was unwilling to leave the old house, and started to quarrel with Gu Wan. "I say, why are you so unreasonable? I already said that I won't move, I won't move! Why are you still bickering with an old man like me? Don't you know what it means to respect the old and cherish the young? "
Gu Wan was at a loss for words. Her chest felt stuffy, and she didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it. Just as she was about to continue explaining to the other party, the moment she opened her mouth, her vision suddenly darkened.
When she came back to her senses, her vision was already completely blurred. She heard a few anxious shouts, but she did not have the strength to answer.
"Madam, what's wrong?!"
"Wan Wan! Wake up! Wan Wan, what happened to you? "
Gong Mohan held the unconscious Gu Wan in his arms. He was no longer as calm as he was before. He screamed Gu Wan's name at the top of his lungs, hoping that she would respond to him with a smile like before. She would tell him that he was just putting on an act and that he was being pranked.
However, Gu Wan fainted just like that. No matter how much Gong Mohan shouted, there was no response at all.
The bodyguard next to him quickly reacted. He ran far away and drove the car over, wanting to take Gu Wan to the hospital.
"Boss, take the madam to the car first. Leave this to our men!"
Gong Mohan suddenly recovered. He quickly picked up Gu Wan and walked quickly into the car, ordering his men to rush to the hospital.
However, now that things had come to this, he no longer had the mood to rent a house. His whole body could not help but tremble, and his heart was filled with fear.
Under the orderly arrangement of the assistant, Gu Wan was quickly sent to the emergency room for treatment. Gong Mohan had been guarding outside, constantly walking around in the corridor.
Gu Wan's physique had always been excellent. The vital essence that had been lost from her previous injuries had all been recovered by him. How could a living person suddenly faint?
Just as Gong Mohan was wavering, the lights in the emergency room finally went off. The female lead, who was the first to be wheeled out, was still unconscious. However, her complexion looked much better than before. Presumably, she would be fine.
"Who is the patient's relative?"
Gong Mohan looked at the doctor who slowly came out of the emergency room and said eagerly, "I, I am her husband!"
The doctor looked up and down at Gong Mohan, sighed inaudibly, and then said coldly, "The patient is temporarily fine. Just don't be too emotional in the future, in case something like this happens again."
Gong Mohan nodded in agreement. "Okay, I will follow the doctor's advice!"
As long as Gu Wan's condition wasn't too serious, everything would be fine.
The doctor did not give Gong Mohan time to relax. Instead, he motioned for him to follow him. "Since you are the patient's family, there are some things I want to talk to you alone. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Gong Mohan was keenly aware of the incongruity in this sentence, but he did not hesitate at all. Instead, he followed the doctor to the office.
"Doctor, what on earth is wrong with my wife?"
The doctor looked at Gong Mohan with a serious face and said slowly, "The patient is probably suffering from stomach cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Relax and cooperate with the treatment. You don't have to worry too much."
Gong Mohan showed a bitter smile in disbelief and repeated, "You must be joking with me, right?"
The doctor had seen many family members show such an expression. He comforted him and said, "Your wife is still young, and it is only the early stage of cancer. Now that medical technology is so advanced, as long as she cooperates with the treatment, you don't have to worry too much."
Gong Mohan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He solemnly thanked the doctor, then turned around and returned to Gu Wan's side, waiting for her to wake up.
No matter how difficult the road ahead was, even if Gu Wan's condition would worsen because of this, it did not matter. He would always be by her side and protect her forever.
Previously, Gu Wan had proposed to develop this area, and Gong Mohan decided to follow her wishes. Therefore, he called his men and entrusted these matters to them. He continued to guard the bed, waiting for Gu Wan to wake up.
Gu Wan soon woke up from her coma. She had a headache and whimpered, "Where am I?"
Gong Mohan looked at Gu Wan, who had just woken up. He was so emotional that he couldn't control himself. He took a deep breath, forced a smile and explained slowly, "This is the hospital. You just fainted."
Only then did Gu Wan remember why she had fainted before. She looked at Gong Mohan with a little embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Gong Mohan shook his head.
He shook his head and comforted Gu Wan with a faint smile. "Do you still feel uncomfortable? If you don't, I'll call the doctor. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to press the call bell placed on the side. Fortunately, Gu Wan reached out and stopped him.
A smile appeared on her pale face, and she said in a weak voice, "I'm fine. You don't have to be so nervous to call the doctor. Doctors are very busy."
Gong Mohan was afraid that Gu Wan would touch the needle in her hand, so he quickly put her raised hand back carefully. He was a little displeased and scolded, "Be careful. Don't move."
Gu Wan smiled helplessly, then asked casually, "What's wrong with me? Why did I suddenly faint?"
Although Gong Mohan had expected it, he still didn't know how to explain it when Gu Wan asked.
Gu Wan keenly sensed that he was hiding something from her, so she struggled to sit up and continued to reach for the call bell. "If you don't tell me, I'll ask the doctor myself!"
"I said, just lie down and don't move!" Gong Mohan looked at the female lead and pretended to be relaxed. "The doctor said that there's a lesion in your stomach, but it's not serious. It's just in the early stages. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, it won't affect you too much."
How could Gu Wan not understand what he meant? Not only was she a little anxious, but she was still so young and had always taken care of her body. How could she possibly have cancer?
"Today isn't April Fool's Day. This joke isn't funny at all."
Gong Mohan took a deep breath. Although he had already expected Gu Wan's reaction after learning about her illness and thought of many ways to deal with it, when he saw the look in Gu Wan's eyes, he finally swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.
If it was possible, how he wished that the person who was sick was him and not Gu Wan. However, fate played a big joke on them like this.
After waiting for a long time for the other party's reply, Gu Wan's forced smile gradually collapsed. She became a little lifeless, but after thinking for a while, she quickly got over it.
She comforted herself that it was just early stage stomach cancer. It wasn't serious. Just like the doctor said, as long as she took good care of herself, there would definitely be no problem living for another few decades.
Gu Wan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I want to stop acting."
Now that she knew about her illness, it was definitely impossible for her to continue acting. Even if her body allowed her to do so, she didn't want to continue to persist with what was left of her life.
Gong Mohan raised his head and asked with a gloomy expression, "Are you sure?"
Gu Wan nodded and answered, "Yes, I'm sure. I want to stop acting and spend the rest of my time by your side."
In fact, she had always wanted to make time to live a simple life with Gong Mohan, but she couldn't let go of her interest in acting. Now it was just an excuse for herself.
She was just an ordinary person. When facing death, she would also be afraid and hesitant.
"Okay, I'll find someone to help you spread the news."
