Fang Xin knew in her heart that Fang Tong was only comforting her with her confident answers. Otherwise, why would a young girl fall for a man who needs help feeding, drinking, or using the toilet?
Fang Tong had always been a compassionate person. She wished that she could repay the kindness that others have shown her by tenfold, even a hundredfold. If her sister showed compassion towards Gu Nancheng and was willing to take care of him, who would show compassion towards her sister?
"Sister, don't worry about me!"
Fang Tong held her sister's hand. "Don't stay at the hotel anymore. Stay with me at the Gu residence. I will only feel at ease when the two of us are together. I'm also about to graduate. When that day comes, the two of us will rebuild the Fang family business and wait for dad's return!"
Fang Xin nodded earnestly. "That day will come."
Fang Tong helped Fang Xin pack her bags before they checked out of the hotel. They then got into the car and headed to Gu residence.
On their way, Fang Tong called Bai Ping in advance and informed her about Fang Xin. Bai Ping was very happy to accommodate Fang Xin. She even waited for the two of them in the living room.
"You must be Fang Xin..." Bai Ping greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Auntie. Sorry for the trouble," Fang Xin said politely.
"It's no trouble. We're family. You're most welcome here."
Bai ping sized up Fang Xin with a smile. She thought that Fang Tong was already an unrivalled beauty, but her sister was even more beautiful! Fang Xin was a little more feminine than Fang Tong. She looked every bit like a young miss from a prominent family who could take charge of the family.
"I've already asked someone to tidy up the guest room. It's right next to Tong's bedroom. It's convenient if you sisters need to talk."
"Thank you, Mom," Fang Tong thanked her mother-in-law sincerely. What Bai Ping did was indeed thoughtful.
"No need to thank me." Bai Ping smiled as she waved her hand. "Tong, why don't you bring your sister upstairs to unpack? I'll get the helpers to start dinner."
"Will do."
Fang Tong brought her sister upstairs to unpack but Fang Xin suggested that she visit Gu Nancheng first. Fang Tong knew that Fang Xin was just worried about her, so she agreed.
In the master bedroom...
"Sister, this is Gu Nancheng."
Fang Tong introduced her husband to her sister. She did not forget about Gu Nancheng and said, "Nancheng, this is my sister, Fang Xin. She's going to live with us from now on. She's here to visit you today."
Fang Xin looked at the unconscious man in bed. Although he was handsome, he had been in a coma for a long time. His face was thin, making him look thin overall.
"Do you talk to him like this every day?"
"Sister, don't treat him as a patient. Don't think of him as a comatose patient. Just pretend that he's sleeping!" Fang Tong comforted her sister.
Fang Xin smiled bitterly. Was it possible to pretend as such?
"Tong, I really think that..."
"Sister, I know what you want to say! But to me, Gu Nancheng is the best. Although he can't speak, he can listen. I can tell him all my frustrations. Moreover, Grandpa and Mom are very good to me. They care about me and take good care of me. This is something that many married women want but can't get."
Fang Xin was unable to refute Fang Tong's words.
She's right! Back then, she and Qin Jianmin were also a well-matched and enviable couple. But the Qin family members always bullied her. Qin Jianmin even went behind her back, collaborated with outsiders to destroy her family, and hit her.
Such a man was really no better than a comatose patient!
