Chapter 521: The Pain of Losing a Daughter
Old Man Zong picked a spacious private room, sat down and drank tea alone.
He looked leisurely, but the Bai family was sitting on pins and needles, especially Bai Jiayi, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
Although the old man is old and has gray hair, the majesty of the soldier has long been integrated into the bone marrow, and with just one look, it is full of shocking power.
For a long time, no one spoke.
The old man said quietly, "Don't have anything to say?" ”
"Uncle Zong, on behalf of the Bai family, I apologize to you for today's incident, I shouldn't bother you on this festive day." Bai Chengye's attitude was respectful and his face was full of apologies.
Old Man Zong glanced at him, "Chengye, Uncle asked you a word today, can't you recognize your own daughter?" ”
In a word, Bai Chengye's heart was pinched, and he subconsciously looked at Bai Jiushu.
Bai Jiushu hugged Liyou, and after glancing at Bai Chengye, she lowered her head, her expression was always light.
Bai Chengye stared at Bai Jiushu for a long time and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Zong's question really stumped me, my own daughter should be recognized, but ......
Uncle Zong should know that Shushu fell ill a few years ago, and the doctor had already issued a death notice at that time, and he couldn't save her.
At that time, I felt that there was a place in my heart that had been torn off by life, it hurt, it really hurt, it hurt so much that I couldn't think about anything, and my eyes were gray.
I couldn't sleep the whole night, but during the day I was better enough to talk to my daughter and tell her not to be afraid, Daddy was here.
When it came to the night, when my daughter fell asleep, I couldn't sleep, even if I closed my eyes, my brain was awake, and I was thinking about my daughter......
I had already given up, but Jia Yi gave me hope, saying that she had a friend in Euro who was a brain cancer expert and had developed a drug that could inhibit the spread of cancer cells and even kill them little by little.
At that time, I was like grasping at a life-saving straw, full of hope.
Jiayi's friend mailed her a blue potion called Milkshake.
Shushu drank that thing and woke up quickly, but she was in a very poor mental state.
Jia Yi proposed to send Shushu to Euro for treatment, and I agreed without even thinking about it, I just wanted to save my daughter.
Then, Shushu was sent to Euro, and Shushu's mother and I also went with her to take care of our daughter.
After the child had surgery and his condition stabilized, I returned to China to deal with business matters with peace of mind.
Shushu's mother stayed in Europe for more than a year, and finally the child's condition was completely stabilized, and the doctor determined that there would be no recurrence, so she returned.
Shushu stayed in Euro and studied there while recuperating from her illness.
We only saw our children once in a few months, and it wasn't until Shushu finished her studies and she was completely healthy that the family was reunited not long ago.
I never thought about what was wrong with my daughter, I never thought about it, even if she became a little cold, even if she was no longer as clingy to me as a father as she used to, I didn't think much about it.
I felt that my child was scared by the disease, grew up, and was no longer as clingy as he was when he was a child. I also thought that after all, the child was a few years older, and it was normal for some personality to change.
I thought so until I called my child one day not long ago...... The child said something unbelievable to me and told me to dig a box under the old tree in her grandparents' yard.
I did so and literally dug up a box with my daughter's childhood toys, as well as a letter and a diary.
My daughter started keeping a diary when she found out she was sick, and I can imagine how painful she was at that time.
I locked myself in my study for a long time that day, and I inadvertently recalled many things, and found that my daughter had been different from before since she woke up from drinking that blue potion, but I was so carried away by joy that I ignored them.
I asked someone to look it up about the possibility that my daughter's disease could be cured...... It turned out to be impossible.
I consulted several more doctors abroad and the result was the same, there was no chance of a cure for my daughter.
I began to doubt in my heart, but I tried very hard to restrain this doubtful thoughts, and I was very conflicted and struggling every day.
Sometimes I think, even if the daughter next to me is actually not my daughter, then don't debunk it, at least I can look at the exact same face and tell myself that my daughter has always been by my side.
Thinking like this, he couldn't calm his contradictory and struggling heart.
Later, Chongming mentioned the marriage of the two children and made an appointment to have dinner together.
On the day of the meal, Shushu got into a fight with someone and was sent to the hospital.
Later, after Shushu was discharged from the hospital and went home, she was like a different person, different from her five years ago and when she came back five years later.
The child doesn't say a word, and always avoids my gaze and doesn't look at me.
I would have doubts in my heart if I couldn't help it.
Later, just yesterday, Shushu spoke like a different person, and naturally called Dad.
There was something in her eyes that I wanted to see, the kind of affection that a daughter naturally showed to her father.
For a moment, it seemed like my daughter had come back five years ago.
Then, Jia Yi told me that now this Shushu is fake, that face is plastic surgery, and the real Shushu may have been killed.
The moment I heard this, the thought that crossed my mind was that my daughter was gone five years ago, and I had been deceived and lived in a lie.
I can't control such thoughts.
I couldn't recognize who was my daughter and who wasn't.
I really want to admit that this Shushu today is my daughter, because she is the most affectionate to me, but I can't admit it.
Because I have always had a voice in my heart telling me that in this world, my real daughter does not exist, she died five years ago. ”
Bai Chengye's voice was choked, his eyes were red, he looked up at the ceiling, trying to hold back the overflowing tears, trying to ignore the feeling of heartache.
"Uncle Zong, I don't recognize my daughter, I really can't recognize it."
This sentence is full of endless sadness.
Mei Yulan, who listened quietly, went from shock, stunned, and disbelief at the beginning, to tears later.
She wanted to question her husband, to convince her that everything he said was not true, but she seemed to be choked with something in her throat and couldn't ask aloud.
She wasn't the only one stunned.
There was no one present who was not shocked, except for those who knew the truth.
Bai Jiayi didn't expect Bai Chengye to talk to another Bai Jiushu on the phone, and she didn't expect Bai Chengye to be suspicious.
"Your daughter isn't dead." Zong Qiming suddenly spoke.
Almost subconsciously, all eyes were on him.
