The marriage between the Mu family and the Gu family had been arranged for 17 years. Unexpectedly, the second son of the Gu family suddenly had a car accident five years ago. From then on, his legs could not be left and he could not be talked. In order not to let his beloved granddaughter be wronged, the Mu family directly chose to let their sister marry him instead. But he didn't expect that his little granddaughter, who was not favored by the Mu family, would be doted on after she got married. No matter what kind of event she attended, as long as she was with Second Young Master, she would definitely be with his beautiful wife.
"Aunt, please save my mother. I will definitely pay you back!"
Mu Li knelt in the living room and kowtowed several times. There was already blood on his forehead.
"Save her? Do you think she can still live?" The aunt sneered and glanced at her with disgust. "She has been lying in the hospital for three years and still hasn't died. Can she really make it?"
Before she could speak, her cousin, Mu Yan, interrupted, "That's right! You know it's a waste of money, but you can't return it! Besides, can I lend it to you, and you can't pay it back in this life?"
Without looking at Mu Li, she lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her new nails.
Mu Li's eyes were filled with tears. "I will definitely make money for you in the future!"
"How can you earn money?" The aunt looked at her with contempt and said mercilessly, "You want to earn money? Unless you sell it!"
Mu Li was used to the insults, but when he saw the mother and daughter in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Three years ago, her father died on the spot in a car accident. Her mother passed out and became a vegetable. Even her family, which had grown up, was occupied by her uncle and aunt.
If she had a choice, she would rather die than step into this house.
However, tomorrow was the deadline given by the hospital. If she could not borrow any more money, her mother would die.
Mu Li collapsed on the ground. "Aunt, I beg you, save my mother. I can do anything you want me to do, please..."
The aunt and cousin looked at each other, and their eyes fell on her again. "It's not impossible for you to ask me to pay. If you marry the second young master of the Gu family tomorrow, I will transfer the money to your bank account."
Mu Li was stunned for a moment and pointed to Mu Yan, who was sitting next to him. "But, the person that the Gu family is going to marry tomorrow is Mu Yan!"
"So what if it's me? Don't forget, you're the one who's short of money now!" Mu Yan stood up and opened the photo on her phone to show her. "Your mother looks like she's full of tubes. She must be suffering, right?"
"How could you have my mom..." Before Mu Li could finish his words, something flashed through his mind. Her eyes suddenly widened. "Did you do it?"
Her eyes turned scarlet, and she wished she could bite the mother and daughter into pieces.
"You deliberately asked the doctor to withdraw the medical records in my mom's ward, didn't you?"
Her angry look made the mother and daughter very satisfied.
"You're right." Mu Yan put away her phone. "Whether your mother is dead or alive depends on whether you agree or not."
Mu Li clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his palms. The stinging pain made her regain some of her senses.
After a while, she glared at Mu Yan. "Okay, I promise you!"
Word by word, she said firmly, "If I marry into the Gu family and you don't treat my mother, I won't let you off!"
Her aunt heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"That's more like it. We're a family, so we should help each other. Besides, not everyone in the Gu family can get close to the Gu family. If you marry into the Gu family, you'll be able to enjoy yourself!"
Mu Li lowered his head and burst into tears.
Everyone knew that Second Young Master Gu was disabled, and it was rumored that he was violent and capricious. In short, her life was ruined.
The next day was the wedding.
Early in the morning, Mu Li got in the Mu family's car and went to the wedding.
No matter how aggrieved she was, she had to complete the wedding. Her mother was still in the hospital waiting for her to save her life with money.
At the wedding, the Gu family's parents saw Mu Li walk out, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.
It was obvious that the Mu family was looking down on their son by changing their bride! They would find them to settle the score after the wedding!
Gu Tingchen sat in a wheelchair at the end of the red carpet. There was no sign of relief on his face, just like a wooden carving without any emotion. Only his eyes were dark and deep, making people feel as if they were in an abyss.
Mu Li was surrounded and walked forward with his hands tightly clasped together. He did not know how Second Young Master Gu would treat her, a temporary replacement bride.
The closer she got to him, the more nervous she became. When she finally saw the man's face clearly, she suddenly stopped.
How could it be him!
