Sheng’er was taken away.
Before she left, she did not even know that her parents were no longer alive. She even thought that it was strange that her grandfather, grandmother, and even her aunt were crying non-stop. Did they encounter something sad?
Even as they were about to leave, Sheng’er was reluctant to part with Baby Chu. She smiled at Baby Chu and said, “Baby Chu, see you in kindergarten tomorrow!” Baby Chu nodded and held her hand. The two little fellows hugged each other again before Baby Chu watched Sheng’er getting into the car and leaving!
It was not until Baby Chu returned to his room that he pestered Chu He and asked, “Mommy, were they Sheng’er’s grandparents?”
“Uh huh.”
“What happened to them? Why are they crying?”
Chu He hesitated for a long time and said bluntly, “Sheng’er’s parents had an accident and passed away.”
“Passed away…” Baby Chu had heard of this term being used, but he could not remember what it meant!
Chu He squatted down and held the boy’s shoulders. She explained, “Passed away means dead. There was an accident, it happened last night! Sheng’er… from now on, she has no parents!”
Baby Chu was extremely shocked when he heard this. He was stunned for a long time before asking curiously, “Really…?”
“Uh huh.”
He asked further, “Then… does Sheng’er know about this?”
“Her grandparents will probably tell her when they get home!”
“…” Baby Chu suddenly fell silent. He clenched his fists and said sadly, “Sheng’er will definitely be very upset when she finds out!”
Actually, Baby Chu did not know Sheng’er’s parents, but he considered it from another perspective, that if he were Sheng’er, it would definitely be like the end of the world if his own parents were gone! Just thinking about it made his heart ache for Sheng’er.
At the thought of Sheng’er’s sadness, Baby Chu felt a little depressed!
Noticing how desolate he looked, Chu He hugged him with some sympathy, “If Sheng’er is sad, you must comfort her and accompany her!”
Baby Chu nodded sensibly and said, “Okay, Baby Chu understands!”
That night, Chu He coaxed Baby Chu to sleep. When he finally closed his eyes, she left the room.bHowever, after Chu He left quietly, Baby Chu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the other side of the bed, where Sheng’er had slept last night.
When he thought about what Chu He had told him tonight, Baby Chu’s heart ached so much that he kept twitching. He only managed to get to sleep late at night after struggling for some time.
…
When Chu He returned to the bedroom, Gu Jinglian was standing on the balcony, talking on the phone. Even though she could not hear his voice through the French window, his expression seemed cold and solemn. There was even a hint of anger in his tone.
She went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of the shower, she saw Gu Jinglian at the balcony, sitting on a chair. The cigarette between his fingers were glowing brightly.
While toweling dry her hair, Chu He walked to the balcony and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? It’s so late. Aren’t you going to bed?”
Gu Jinglian looked up, the coldness in his eyes fading.
He said calmly, “You go ahead.”
“Oh.”
Noticing his grave expression, Chu He guessed that he must have encountered some trouble in his business. However, she never cared about his career and wasn’t proficient in business herself..
