515 Twists of Fate

"My pleasure," Gu Ning said. She didn't think that she had done Tang Yunfan a big favor, but believed that it was something that she had to do. Tang Yunfan was her biological father after all and nothing was more important than saving her biological father's life.

A dozen minutes later, Yuan Jisong arrived. When he met Quan Mingkai, he greeted Quan Mingkai with great respect. The Tang family was a super powerful family whether in politics or in business in the country. They were as powerful as the four most influential families in the capital, so nobody dared to annoy them.

Although Quan Mingkai was only Tang Yunfan's secretary, he was still a more important figure than the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee from a third-tier city.

"Secretary Yuan, thank you for your help!" Quan Mingkai didn't show any arrogance and was very polite. After all, he was the one who had turned to Yuan Jisong for help. However, to his surprise, Gu Ning had appeared at the accident scene.

"It's my pleasure to help! And actually Girl Gu did most of it," Yuan Jisong told the truth.

It was a serious car accident, and the driver was badly injured, let alone Tang Yunfan who had sat in the back. The rear part of the car had been squeezed out of shape, and half of Tang Yunfan's body was tightly pressed by the car. It was impossible that he was just slightly injured. However, when Tang Yunfan was sent to the hospital, all he had were minor injuries.

Others thought that it must be a miracle but Yuan Jisong believed that it had to be because of Gu Ning's help.

"Secretary Yuan, both you and Miss Gu have helped us a lot! Thank you so much!" Quan Mingkai thanked them again.

Yuan Jisong was very curious about the injured man's identity. Why did Quan Mingkai come to visit him in person? Yuan Jisong didn't know the answer but he understood that the injured man had to be an important figure.

Normally, Tang Yunfan should have woken up after two hours. However, four hours had passed, and he was still unconscious. Everyone was concerned about him but none of them could do anything about it. All they could do now was wait.

Since Quan Mingkai was here, Gu Ning and Gu Man went back home later. Gu Man and Tang Yunfan hadn't accepted each other as family yet, so it was inappropriate for Gu Man to stay there for the night.

Before they left, Gu Ning reminded Quan Mingkai to call her if Tang Yunfan woke up no matter how late it was.

"Mom, don't worry. He'll be fine." Seeing Gu Man so sad, Gu Ning comforted her.

In order to calm Gu Ning's concern, Gu Man forced a smile and said, "Sure, he'll be fine!"

Gu Ning understood that Gu Man was in a terrible mood but she could do nothing about it. Precisely because Gu Man was still in love with him, she felt very hurt when he was in danger.

When they were finally home, it was only 9 pm. Gu Qing and Wang Sufen were sitting in the living room, waiting for Gu Man.

"Man, is Mr. Tang awake?" Once Gu Man was back, Gu Qing asked with concern.

"Not yet," Gu Man replied.

"Man," Gu Qing hesitated, but still asked, "has anything happened between you and Mr. Tang?" She was Gu Man's older sister and she was worried about Gu Man. Of course, if Gu Man wasn't willing to tell her, she wouldn't continue to ask.

Given all the things that had happened, Gu Man decided to tell Gu Qing the truth. "Well, he-he is Ningning's biological father."

"What?" Hearing that, Gu Qing abruptly stood up from the sofa in great shock. "Mr. Tang is Ningning's biological father? Isn't he dead already?" Gu Qing blurted it out without a second thought, and immediately regretted it when she said it aloud.

Tang Yunfan was still unconscious after all, and it wasn't right to say that now.

Wang Sufen was Gu Man's good friend, so she knew about Gu Man's history, and also felt astonished after hearing the news.

"Then why hasn't he found or visited you at all throughout the past 18 years? Why did he suddenly appear now?" Gu Qing was slightly blaming Tang Yunfan.

"He had a car accident back then and lost the memory of the year when we were together, so he never found or visited me. A while ago, he met Ningning, and Ningning got his attention because Ningning closely resembles him. After investigation, he's sure that Ningning is his biological daughter. However, he still failed to get his memory back," Gu Man said and sounded very sad.

Hearing that, Gu Qing stopped blaming Tang Yunfan.

"So what's your plan now?" Gu Qing asked. "Is he still single, or is he married?" If he was married, Gu Man couldn't be together with him anymore, but if he was still single, there was a chance that they could be together again.

"He stayed single the entire time. Although he lost the memory of the year when he was with my mother, he still had a vague image of my mother in his mind, and couldn't accept another woman," Gu Ning said. "Ever since he found out that my mother and I are his family, he has been trying to take responsibility as a husband and father. He came to City F this time precisely for the purpose of meeting my mother face to face. Unexpectedly, he was caught in a car accident again, on his way after leaving the airport."

"Twists of fate!" Wang Sufen said.

Indeed, 18 years ago, a car accident had set them apart and made Gu Man believe that he was already dead. And a car accident stopped them from meeting each other again 18 years later!

"How about you? Are you willing to be together with him again?" Gu Qing asked.

"I-I have no idea." Gu Man didn't have a clear mind now. Although she still loved Tang Yunfan they had been apart for 18 years after all, and it was unavoidable that they felt a little strange towards one another. Besides, he couldn't remember her now, and it was hard to tell what would happen in the future. Everything was unpredictable now.

Since Gu Man hadn't made up her mind yet, Gu Qing stopped asking. However, if Gu Man hesitated, it proved that she was still in love with Tang Yunfan.

Upon thinking that Gu Man had raised her child alone for the past 18 years, Gu Qing's heart ached for her younger sister. She had also believed that Gu Man should marry again, but Gu Man refused to marry again to protect Gu Ning. A stepfather wasn't a biological father after all, and Gu Man was worried that her daughter wouldn't be treated with real care. Nevertheless, things were different now. "Ningning, what do you think?" Gu Qing asked Gu Ning.
