"Nona, it's good that you're staying at my place. Why do you want to leave?"
Holding Jiu Niang's hand, Xu Tianshi frowned deeply, undisguised dissatisfaction on his small face.
Due to some of the care and recuperation that Nona had mentioned, Xu Tianyi's body was slowly recovering. Although heart disease was not something that could be cured overnight, it was a very long process and needed to be slowly recuperated. However, he was much better than before.
"This is your house, how can I stay here forever?"
She shook her head, unable to hide the gratitude in her eyes.
Of course she knew that Xu Tianlong was afraid that she would be beaten up by her mother when she got home, but she was pretty much recovered now. She couldn't stay with him every day, so she still had to go home. Although Gu Yu's family was really a little too harsh on him, but … However, she still had to return. After all, that was her home …
Furthermore, she really didn't understand why Gu Yu would treat her like that.
She wanted to find out for herself.
"Well, why not?" I've already told Father and Mother that when we grow up, I'll marry you! "My home is your home, and so is my parents."
She was deeply afraid that Jiu Niang would not believe her, so Xu Tiangshong even brought out his parents.
Moreover, because of his poor health, his entire family surrounded him. As long as he asked for it, not to mention marrying a woman into the Xu Family, Jiu Niang believed that even if he wanted to commit murder and set fire to the family, the Xu Family would not only not stop him, they would even help to let him off the hook.
She also knew that the Xu family was not bad to her. At the very least … At least it wasn't better than Gu Yu's.
But... However, she was even more clear in her heart that they had a motive for treating her, and that was to cure Xu Tianyi.
Of course, if possible, he would have wished for Xu Tianyun to live for a hundred years, but … But that didn't mean that he wanted to exchange it for something. Healing Xu Tianshong was just a coincidence. Even if it wasn't Xu Tianshong, it was someone else. If he had the ability, she would help.
"I know your parents are good to me, but they are not my parents. I have my own home, so I have to go home."
Slightly shaking her head, a bitter smile flashed across the eyes of Nona.
Actually... She also wanted to continue staying in the Xu family, so she did not have to worry about anything. However, he couldn't do it. He couldn't ask for anything in return. He couldn't do it, and he couldn't either. If he did it, he wouldn't need others to look down on him.
"Alright, let's stop talking. I'm leaving." Take care of yourself! "
With a wave of her hand, Nona unhesitatingly walked out of the Xu Family residence with a small bag on her shoulder and a new set of clothes on her body.
Not only had the Xu Family saved him once, they had even changed him from the top of his head to the bottom of his head. Hearing that he was leaving, the Xu Family had actually offered to give him money, but she had refused.
Although... Although he was really short of money right now, but … But the more it was like this, the more he couldn't take it. He had to do it steadily, or else … Otherwise, no one would be able to help him. As a child, his parents would call him "his father" and "his son's shadow" would be the most important thing.
Although it was said that he had coincidentally saved Xu Tianshong, that was only a matter of time.
"Take good care of yourself, Xu Tianshong. I hope you can be like a normal person next time we meet."
With a wave of her hand, Nona bellowed at Xu Tianyun, who was standing by the door quietly watching her.
Actually...
Heart disease was incurable in this era. Not to mention this era, even in the modern world, heart disease was a high death rate disease.
Fortunately, Xu Tianshong's situation was not so serious that he couldn't move. Even though they weren't happy at the start, at least he knew her well and she really didn't want anything to happen to him. However, there was nothing he could do right now. There were simply too few pills that could be exchanged in the Space. Looks like I have to quickly mature. I don't even know what I will encounter in the future, maybe … Maybe he accidentally lost his life... This time, Gu Yu's family was the best example.
In this era, people like him did not have any background, nor did he have any backers. Nobody would even notice if a few of them died.
"Ah!" Life is not easy. "
With a deep sigh, she looked up at the sky. Nona felt her chest being fiercely suppressed by something. This feeling was rather uncomfortable.
She suddenly realized that life wasn't as simple as she thought. In the past, she had her parents and family members to rely on, and they would always stand behind her no matter what happened.
But now it was different.
He couldn't rely on anyone; he could only rely on himself.
"Gu Yu, are you my mother or not?" "Why kill me?"
When she thought of this, not only did Jiu Niang think of Gu Yu's family.
To be honest, during this period of time, she also felt that Gu Yu's treatment of her was not exactly good, or even cold. It was just that he had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place. He did not know anything and did not dare to act rashly for fear of being discovered that something was amiss.
Although Gu Yu's family was a little cold towards him, it was still a good thing for him. After all, she was cold to him, so he didn't have to be too intimate with her. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about her discovering something different.
However … However, this time, she finally understood that Gu Yu's treatment of her was not only cold and indifferent, but … She really wanted to kill him.
That kind of vicious gaze was not something a mother should have towards her own child. She was practically an enemy! Furthermore, it was a kind of enemy that wouldn't stop until one of them died.
"Forget it, we'll find out eventually. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Thinking of Gu Yu's vicious look, her heart trembled and her legs wouldn't listen to her will. But now she had to go back, and only after going back would she be able to figure out what was going on. "It's a good thing we have space, so we have no choice but to hide."
She shook her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a wry smile.
Fortunately, he had never mentioned the matter of his own space. If that was the case, then even if Gu Yu really wanted to do something to him, he would have a place to hide. Furthermore, he didn't need to worry about Gu Yu finding out.
"Mom, big brother, I'm back."
Standing at the door, although she felt a bit uncomfortable, Jiu Niang still mewled in a well-behaved manner.
She also knew clearly in her heart that Madam Gu disliked her. No matter what she did, she would dislike her.
But no matter what, he was still her daughter. As a junior, he still had to follow the rules. Besides, he really didn't know where else he could go besides coming back. Although he knew that she wouldn't tell him when he came back, but where else could he go other than back?
However, Nona stood at the door for a long time, but did not hear a reply.
After a long while, Jiu Niang couldn't help but sigh. She pushed open the door and walked in, feeling a little worried that she was worth it for Lady Yu to not let her go. But... But during this period of time, her brother had been very good to her. She had been wondering if he would treat her well or if he would believe her …
However, now that Gu Yu didn't answer her, nor did her brother …
Could it be that Big Brother also wanted to kill him like Lady Yu did?
"Mom, big brother, I'm back."
The yard was in a mess, as if it had not been cleaned up in a long time. Although Gu Yu's family was taciturn and ruthless towards him, they still cleaned up their house well, especially when Gu Jinyu was at home. Although the house was in ruins, it could still be considered neat and tidy. However, the current situation …
"Mom, big brother, I'm back."
After walking through the messy yard, Nona carefully opened the half-closed door and was immediately stunned.
In the room, the tables and chairs were scattered all over the place. There were even some tattered clothes that couldn't be worn on the floor …
"Could it be that someone robbed him?"
Right, when Jiu Niang saw this messy scene, her first thought was that her house couldn't have been robbed, right? She didn't have time to think too much and quickly ran in. She looked around and saw that the room was a mess. Everything was taken away, only the things that she couldn't take away were scattered on the floor.
Even the pots and pans were smashed to smithereens.
"Gone?" "Hehe, did you abandon me?"
If Nona was suspicious of her own family being robbed in the beginning, she felt like she was completely drained when she saw her big brother and Gu Yu family's possessions were all gone. It was as if he had moved, leaving nothing behind. There probably wasn't a single bandit in this world who would dare to take away some old clothes. If that was the case … Then there was only one possibility, and that was that Gu Jinyu and Madam Yu had left on their own, while he … And he had been abandoned by them …
"Heh heh, seriously, I never thought that the major would be abandoned so easily."
As she smiled helplessly, a hint of bitterness surfaced on Nona's face. She felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. Her eyes were sore, but she could not cry.
"Nona, nun, you will be the only one left from now on."
Sitting at the door, Xiao Se's courtyard, the wind blew a floor full of random things, blowing away the dust in front of them into one's eyes.
Tears rolled down from Nona's eyes.
Initially, he still had a little hope in his heart. He wanted to come back and ask her clearly, even if … Even if Gu Yu really wanted to die, she still had her brother. She believed that regardless of what happened to Gu Yu, her brother wouldn't abandon her. He was the first person in the world that he saw when he woke up. The first person he saw was his relative.
However … But now he had abandoned himself.
"Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!"
The cold wind howled, rolling up the corners of Jiu Niang's clothes. Snowflakes began to fall from the pitch-black sky.
Nona quietly sat on the doorstep, looking at the sky full of drifting snow. She allowed the snowflakes to fall on her body and face, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.
No matter how cold the winter was, his heart wasn't as cold as it was now.
"Huh?" Wasn't this the Gu Clan's girl? Didn't she say she ran off with someone? "Why are you back?"
"Yes, I know. What a shameless person."
"Hehe, don't even think about it. It's quite pitiful. Madam Gu and her son left in a hurry. That's the only child left."
