Chapter 285: Let go
Three days later.
The sudden snow covered most of City A, and the world covered in silver had a more mysterious color. Zhong Qing stood by the window with Xiao Gu Yun in her arms, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiao Gu Yun was lying in Zhong Qing's arms obediently, smashing it and smashing it, and her mouth was very cute.
After Zhong Qing gave birth, in addition to Gu Xiu staying by her side almost every day, Zhong Jingtian and Chu Shuzhi also often came to visit.
In the past few days, the whole house of the gifts that Zhong Qing and Gu Yun received was overwhelmed, and many of them were small gifts sent by Zhong Qing and Gu Xiu's friends.
When Zhong Nian brought the food cooked by Chu Shuzhi, he saw the "hills" piled up on the side at a glance, and all kinds of exquisite packaging were dazzling, and some Zhong Qing didn't have time to unpack them.
"Sister, come over for dinner."
Zhong Qing put Gu Yun in the crib, and then sat at the table, watching Zhong Nian take out seven or eight exquisite side dishes like magic, quite helpless.
"Why did I take so much, I can't eat it." Zhong Qing thought that this was done by the nanny at home, she said: "Tell Aunt Zhang not to cook confinement meals for me in the future, the food in the hospital is okay." ”
"I told my mom, but she wouldn't listen and ran to the kitchen every morning as soon as she opened her eyes."
Zhong Nian leaned on the side of the crib, looking at the cute and ridiculous appearance of the little Gu Yun, his heart seemed to be swept by feathers, which was particularly itchy.
Zhong Qing was a little surprised when she heard this: "You mean...... The things in the past few days have been made by Aunt Chu? ”
"Yes, I asked her not to toss it, but she didn't listen, except for cooking, she studied recipes, and found a lot of people to ask what she should eat after giving birth."
Zhong Nian stretched out his hand and poked Xiao Gu Yun, and then said, "I told her that you were going to the confinement center in two days, and she promised to cook for you until that time." ”
Zhong Qing looked at the table full of food, and her heart moved, she picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
It was the first time she felt that the dish tasted good, as if she had never tasted anything so good before.
Under Zhong Qing's teaching, Zhong Nian carefully picked up Gu Yun, and felt the existence of such a small life up close, the feeling was very wonderful, as if it could not be described in words.
"I heard that Gu Xiu has already proposed to you?" Zhong Nian asked casually.
Zhong Qing nodded happily, she was wearing a ring given by Gu Xiu on her hand, and a large diamond was shining on it, both the cut and the design were unique in the world.
Zhong Nian raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought that with his temper, he would announce your marriage to the world." ”
"No, the two of us just picked a day to register, and it's nothing."
"I heard that he transferred all the shares of Y-ing Group to you, which means that he Gu Xiu will work for you for the rest of his life?"
Zhong Nian admired Gu Xiu's dedication and courage, before Gu Xiu made this decision, no one would have thought that he was willing to pay for Zhong Qing, not only to give away the group he had worked so hard to build, but also to work for Zhong Qing for the rest of his life.
Maybe for Gu Xiu, Zhong Qing is everything to him, and with Zhong Qing, he doesn't need any way out.
Zhong Qing did not deny Zhong Nian's words, she touched her nose and took a sip of soup.
After a while, most of the food on the table was eaten, Zhong Qing, who had just said that he had done too much, expressed his gratitude to Chu Shuzhi with practical actions, Zhong Nian was having fun holding Xiao Gu Yun, and when he saw Zhong Qing eating and burping, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhong Qing hadn't seen Zhong Nian smile so happily for a long time, and she grinned and laughed unconsciously.
On the other side, in the cemetery on the outskirts of City A, Gu Xiu walked to Yun Ling's tombstone in the snow, and the photo of her mother before her death was placed on the tombstone, and she smiled so gently.
Wei Lan handed over a broom, and Gu Xiu personally swept away the snow covering Yun Ling's tombstone, he had always done it himself in sweeping the tomb, and only by doing so could he feel that his mother was still by his side.
The snow on the tombstone was wiped away by Gu Xiu with his hands, his movements were incompatible with the silent air around him, a bird's cry sounded not far away, and the entire cemetery was in a state of gloom.
After watching Gu Xiu finish cleaning the cemetery, Wei Lan thoughtfully took a few steps back and stood in a place where Gu Xiu couldn't be heard and waited.
"Mom, I'm coming to see you."
Gu Xiu stood in front of the tombstone and said slowly: "I am married, and Zhong Qing is the girl you have seen before." She's so nice and I love her a lot. ”
"Our son was born three days ago, his name is Gu Yun, he is a boy, he is very cute."
"Mom, it's my son who is unfilial, he didn't take care of you when you were alive, and you suffered a lot of grievances, I know you can't hear any apologies, but...... I still want to tell you that I miss you so much. ”
"If you could see your grandchildren born, you would be happy, wouldn't you?"
Gu Xiu squatted down, his fingers covered the photo on the tombstone, Yun Ling's smile was fixed on it forever, he looked at her with tears in his smile.
Wei Lan, who was not far away, looked at this scene with the same sadness in his heart. No matter what Gu Xiu's life is like now and in the future, Yun Ling's death is always a thorn in his heart, and he will never forget the picture of his mother dying in his arms.
If you talk about hell, it can't compare to that feeling of despair.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Wei Lan turned his head and watched Gu Guosheng slowly walk up the steps with the support of the housekeeper.
Originally, he wanted to stop Gu Guosheng, but when Wei Lan saw his sad eyes, he couldn't bear to be too cruel to this old man who was over half a hundred years old, he hesitated for a while, but moved away and let Gu Guosheng walk over.
Gu Xiu sensed someone approaching, and he didn't look back to know who the person who was coming.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Guosheng didn't speak, the crutches he put down knelt directly in front of Yun Ling's tombstone.
"Ah Ling, I'm sorry for you."
Gu Xiu looked at the tombstone indifferently, completely ignoring Gu Guosheng who was kneeling next to him. It was his nominal blood father, and he was also the man he didn't want to have a relationship with again for the rest of his life.
Gu Guosheng looked at the photos on the tombstone, the scenes of the past seemed to be repeating themselves in front of him, he would never forget the bits and pieces of being with Yun Ling, just as he would always have to bear the guilt of her now.
"Back then, I was selfish, I hurt you and Gu Xiu, and I hurt the people around me, so now my son doesn't want to see me, and my daughter doesn't like me."
"This is all my retribution, my retribution."
In this life, Gu Guosheng has done too many wrong things, and from the moment he abandoned his true love and married Wei Mengjun, his whole life was doomed to be a tragedy.
Gu Xiu stood up and looked at Gu Guosheng, who should have been tall in his memory, but now he was so thin when he knelt on the ground, and he didn't see him for a few days, as if he had lost a lot of weight, what kind of life did he live?
Gu Xiu didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.
He wanted to leave, but Gu Guosheng suddenly stopped him.
"Gu Xiu......"
"Thank you that day for letting me see the child."
Gu Xiu turned his back to Gu Guosheng and did not speak.
"He looks a lot like you when you were a kid." Gu Guosheng seemed to be talking to Gu Xiu, and he also seemed to be talking to himself: "I heard Zhong Qing say that his name is Gu Yun, right?" I prefer his nickname...... It's called a sunny day, right? ”
The housekeeper helped up Gu Guosheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and the latter walked in front of Gu Xiu on crutches, looking at his own son now looking at himself with the eyes of a stranger, Gu Guosheng was sad.
"I know you don't want to know what I say or do now, but you're still my son after all, and even if you don't want to admit it, I'm ......"
Halfway through speaking, Gu Guosheng closed his mouth, he shook his head, and suddenly felt that he was like a fool after talking so much.
Gu Xiu looked at him coldly and didn't say a word. Indifference is his last and only attitude towards Gu Guosheng, just like when he was a child, Gu Guosheng treated him and his mother, fate went round and round, and their father and son may no longer have the possibility of forgiveness.
In the cold snow, Gu Guosheng's heart seemed to be colder than this snowflake, and he looked at Gu Xiu's back as he left, and tears fell.
In the past, Gu Guosheng was proud, he never shed tears because of anything, he used to have a supreme position, but now he is just a father who wants to ask his son for forgiveness.
Gu Xiu's figure gradually faded away, and the housekeeper put his coat on Gu Guosheng's body and said:
"Master, it's cold outside, let's go back."
Gu Guosheng came back to his senses and nodded blankly.
Gu Xiu sat in the car and watched Gu Guosheng slowly walk into the car with the help of the housekeeper, and he didn't let Wei Lan start the car until the car drove out of his sight.
"Second master." Wei Lan, who was driving, suddenly spoke: "Put it down." ”
It's just three words, it's so easy to say, but it's so difficult to do, Gu Xiu is not a saint, he asked himself if he could forgive the people who had hurt him and the people around him without any guilt.
Knowing that it is painful to not be able to let go, how easy is it to let go?
"If my mother survives, I will forgive him." But the most useless thing in the world is "if". Wei Lan knew how much Gu Xiu had bore it, he just wanted Gu Xiu to be better, he didn't want to see him continue to bear the pain of the past.
"Let's go back to the hospital." Gu Xiu said: "There is no need to mention this matter in the future." ”
Wei Lan nodded, stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Since Gu Xiu didn't want to talk about it again, he wouldn't mention it again, it was like being sealed in a secret box that would never be opened, the box was hidden in the depths of memory, as long as he didn't touch it, he wouldn't be hurt again.
