Chapter 9: Meet Grandma

Gu Hongxin's voice on the phone was different from usual, and his breathing was a little trembling because of anxiety. The tone of his voice also became loud due to excitement, and he only told Hua Xin'er that he would meet at the door of the Hua Group at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and he had something very important to talk to her.

Is this still the usual Gu Hongxin who is as calm as a stone, no matter what happens, he is not worried, he is not in a hurry, and he is not anxious?

On the other end of the phone, he had no irritability and gaffe that he had never felt before, and he could even imagine his thick eyebrows frowning together, oh my God, her all-powerful brother, what happened?

The next day, Hua Xin'er went to meet him according to his brother's request, and his brother specially emphasized that he should call him by name when they met. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Hua Group, she saw Gu Hongxin standing there waiting for her.

There are people shuttling around to work, and the fact that Hua Xin'er was picked up by the Gu family is kept secret to the outside world, except for the Gu family and the Hua family, the outside world doesn't know that they went to Milan, and they don't know about the baby.

But just before they were about to return to China, the headlines on the front pages reported the inside story of him and Hua Xin'er living together in Milan for ten years.

The report did not mention the doll's parents, nor did it say why they were taken to Milan by the Gu family in the first place. Only the focus is on Hua Xin'er suspected of cohabiting with a man before she was under the age of eighteen, although it is "suspected", but for the public, this is enough to be an explosive news. Compared with the scandals of those celebrities, it has a gossip effect.

When he received a call from Zhang Yun yesterday to force him to leave Hua Xin'er with this news, he could only accept the current situation. But before he could accept it, he had to return Hua Xin'er a reputation for a clear reputation.

He knew that many reporters were secretly following him, and at this point in time today, he deliberately asked Hua Xin'er to meet here, just to show a good show for the reporters.

In order to let Hua Xin'er come smoothly, he specially pretended to be frightened and worried on the phone yesterday, taking advantage of Hua Xin'er's concern for him. It's not that he doesn't dare to tell the truth to Xin'er, but he is afraid that the stupid girl will know the truth and is unwilling to cooperate with him.

Hua Xin'er saw Gu Hongxin rushing forward in a hurry, so there was a scene where Gu Hongxin was forcibly kissed at the beginning and attracted reporters.

She knew in advance that staying in Nanqingcheng was not as free as Milan, but she didn't expect it to be so sinister, and as soon as she came back, she even tired Gu Hongxin. I have to grow up quickly, I can't do this anymore, a woman who needs her brother's protection for everything, she has to do something.

Hua Xin'er wiped away her tears, walked into the bedroom, opened the door of the closet and picked out a long dress with a red doll collar, with a delicate cut at the waist, outlining the curves convex and concave, but without losing the girl's well-behaved and sweet. Although she is not deliberately dressed up, her delicate facial features and Qiushui's eyes are clearly indicating that she is a beauty.

She still remembers that her grandmother used to like red the most, and it shouldn't have changed after so many years. Although grandma still doesn't want to see her, she always has to face it.

Hua Xin'er couldn't believe that the old lady in front of her was a grandmother, although she was still beautiful and noble, she was much thinner than ten years ago. Now my grandmother has a deep forehead, and the skin on her face is so thin that it has wrinkled into an air-dried orange peel. She was still holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she remembered that her grandmother used to not recite Buddha.

A feeling of guilt pressed over, if we didn't let Daddy pick up the kite back then, we would still be a reunited family now.

Hua Xin'er couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her grandmother and cried loudly, while telling the thoughts that had accumulated in her heart over the years.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" didn't seem to say anything else, just holding the word "I'm sorry" and kept saying. It seems that only 'I'm sorry' can express one's guilt and remorse.

Grandma also stretched out her hand to hug Huaxin'er back and forth, and the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other wordlessly. Hua Xin'er cried for a while before she stopped sobbing.

After a while, Hua Xin'er sniffed, and finally suppressed her tears, her beautiful eyes were still shining with tears, and she shouted again: "Grandma, I'm sorry." Still no other language was spoken. Grandma brushed away the tear-soaked hair on her face, and gently pulled them behind her ears, revealing a delicate and pretty goose egg face, and two pairs of black eyes were also red because of the crying she had just had, and they were even clearer and clearer.

"How have you been all these years?"

Grandma's voice was flat, and there was no hint of joy or anger. But is this sentence concerned about her? Hua Xin'er understood it this way, and the sad mood just now also surged with joy, and hurriedly responded to her grandmother's question,

"Grandma, I've had a good life over the years, and my brother has taken good care of me." In front of her grandmother, she still called 'brother' without directly calling her by name.

"That's good, it's not in vain that I trust that kid so much." Grandma's voice was still faint, without any ups and downs.

But this sentence sounded to Hua Xin'er, which proved that grandma cared about her. Blood dissolves in water, in the end, it is her own granddaughter, she understands that grandma just can't accept Daddy Mommy's departure, why not.

Grandma stroked her hair gently: "Silly child." ”

Hua Xin'er couldn't believe that this was her grandmother who hadn't paid attention to her for ten years, but she could be so gentle with her at the moment.

She enjoyed this warm moment very much, and she remembered that when she was a child, her mother often stroked her hair, which was like a lullaby that made her little heart feel very satisfied.

At that time, she didn't know that it was called "security", and when she knew, her mother was not there. Now she never imagined that she would feel this 'sense of security' again in the arms of her grandmother who had been absent for ten years.

Just when she almost fell asleep in her grandmother's arms, her grandmother's voice sounded again: "You haven't seen you when you come back this time, your uncle and aunt, and your two cousins." I specially called them over for dinner today, and the whole family ate together, and you should meet them too. ”

"Before you came back, there lived in this house an old woman of mine. It's inevitable that it will seem deserted, but now that you're back, you can be regarded as having a companion. ”

Hua Xin'er suddenly felt sour in her heart, no matter how beautiful and noble her grandmother was when she was young, as the top decision-maker of the Hua Group, she was supported by thousands of people. It's just a lonely old man, and he also longs for his children to enjoy the joy of family.

Daddy, Mommy and her lived under this roof before, and at that time, grandma had a smile on her face every day. After Daddy and Mommy left, she went to Milan again, didn't her uncle and aunt move back to live? Listening to the meaning of grandma's words just now, my uncle and aunt haven't come back to see grandma for a long time.

"Grandma, don't worry, Xin'er will be by your side in the future, so that you will no longer be lonely." Hua Xin'er took her grandmother's hand and said.

Wang Ma's voice suddenly sounded: "Report to the old lady, the young master and the lady, and the two young ladies have come over."

Hua Xin'er got up and looked up, and sure enough, there were four more people in the room, and they were her uncle and aunt, as well as her two cousins.

When I was a child, the family didn't live with them, and they only saw each other every time they came back to visit their grandmother, and they didn't have too deep feelings, and they haven't seen each other since they went to Milan.

Now that they met suddenly, Hua Xin'er had no sense of family affection, more strangeness and uneasiness.
