679 Last words before death
“Gu Nian!” Li Muyan’s listless eyes lit up the moment he saw Gu Nian. He reached out to push himself up on the bed.
The Gu sisters all walked over.
“I want to speak to Gu Nian alone, is that okay?” Li Muyan said weakly.
Gu Xin secretly passed something to Gu Nian. Gu Nian knew what it was the moment she touched it and nodded at li Muyan.
“Niannian, help us persuade Muyan. He will definitely listen to you.” When Madam Xie saw Gu Nian, she looked as if she had seen her Savior.
“I’ll try.” Gu Nian nodded.
Everyone in the room had left, and ah Dong considerately checked the door.
cough, cough, cough, cough, cough. li Muyan coughed a few more times, as if he was about to cough his lungs out.
“Why did you suddenly become like this?” Gu Nian patted his chest. I’ll go get you a glass of water!”
With that, he got up and went to the table.
Gu Xin gave her two jade beads so she agreed to talk to li Muyan alone without hesitation.
In the past few days, when she had come to discuss matters with li Muyan, either Gu Hui had been with her or all four of her sisters had been there.
Li Muyan grabbed Gu Nian’s arm as he stared at her intently. He had never been like this even when they were discussing business.
Gu Nian did not know what to do with his gaze.
that shelf over there, that box embedded with gems, take it over! he said. Li Muyan smiled, and his eyes became bright again.
“Alright, don’t move, I’ll get it for you! However, you should also drink some water first.” Relieved, Gu Nian ran to the table and placed the Jade bead into a glass of warm water. The bead melted when it came in contact with water.
The moment li Muyan had looked at her, she had been at a loss. It was as if her entire mind had been sucked into his eyes, and she had been unable to think.
It was a really strange feeling.
After pouring the water, she walked over and passed it to li Muyan. Then, she went to the shelf to get a small box for li Muyan.
Li Muyan coughed a few more times and took a sip of water. He felt much better and placed the water on the small table at the head of the bed.
Gu Nian carried the box over and placed it by the bed.
“Gu Nian, sit down. I want to talk to you for a while!” Li mu said.
“Did you drink the water?” Gu Nian looked at the glass of water and sat down.
“Drink it.” Li Muyan nodded. Gu Nian, there’s an Indenture contract in this box. The Indenture of the people who work for me are in this box. I know you won’t want it, but when you earn money in the future, you can give the silver to my mother. Also, I’ll ask my mother to keep an eye on the things in my room. You can come and get them whenever you need them. And Yingluo.”
“Stop!” The more Gu Nian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. It sounded like he was saying his last words, so he interrupted li Muyan.
Gu Nian, there’s something I have to tell you now. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to do so in the future! Li Muyan said, a little sad.
“Li Muyan, what nonsense are you talking about? You’re just a little unlucky. Auntie Luo said you’ll be fine after you turn eighteen. There’s still one more year before you can’t hold on any longer?” Gu Nian glared at him.
Li Muyan laughed,”what if I can’t?” If you don’t let me speak my mind, then wouldn’t I die with everlasting regret? “Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough. Gu Nian, please give me a chance and let me finish!”
I can listen to it if you want. Gu Nian picked up a glass of water and handed it to him. have some more water to moisten your throat! Your throat will feel uncomfortable if you say so much.”
