The man was described as withered, extremely thin, and plainly dressed, but he couldn't hide the kindness and purity in her eyes, which had been precipitated over the years.

Gu Mo's eyes were very similar to hers.

Later, it was Hu's mother who told Su Deng that she knew that her father got off work early that day and happened to see Gu Mo's mother and son at the gate, but he didn't turn a blind eye, but instead led people in.

Su Deng could see that his father was very enthusiastic about the woman, and that kind of eager and suppressed gaze was like a person who had been in the dark and cold underground for a long time, and finally returned to the ground again and saw the warm light.

For some reason, she instinctively rejected these images.

So she ignored Gu Mo's shouting at her and ran upstairs quickly.

"This is my daughter and my ex-wife, Su Deng......"

Su Deng slammed the door shut.

My daughter and my ex-wife......

Ex......

Since that day, Su Deng can always see Su Tanmo and the woman going in and out of the villa.

And Gu Shuhui, from the initial restraint and silence to a happy conversation with her father, everything has long deviated from the course that Su Deng thought she had.

That day, Su Deng originally wanted to go downstairs to get the yogurt in the refrigerator, but when he passed by the study, he heard a sound from inside.

She immediately leaned down and leaned gently against the door.

"Tanmo, thank you for everything you have done for me, without you, I don't know where I would be now."

"Do we need to talk about this between us? If you want to thank Gu Mo, he is a good boy. ”

"I'm also surprised that he actually met Su Deng, I was really forced by Yang Tianming and those debt collectors to have no choice, so Gu Mo brought me here."

"Shuhui, it is God's destiny that we met, those things are over, with me by your side in the future, I will take good care of you."

"Have you really decided? Actually, it's just a piece of paper, you can have it or not. ”

"I promised you, how could I break my promise? Can you tell me, what are your concerns? ”

The woman's voice stopped for a while before it sounded again: "Su Deng, that kid, doesn't seem to like me very much, she is you and Mrs. Lu after all......"

"Okay Shuhui, don't mention that woman again, if I could, I'd rather never met her in my life. Moreover, you have to have confidence in yourself, you are so kind and beautiful, she will slowly know what is good about you. ”

Su Deng didn't know how he got back to the room.

It's just that the moment she closed the door, she suddenly couldn't hold back her stomach, and immediately ran to the bathroom and vomited.

Su Deng began to lock himself in his room and went on a hunger strike.

Hu's mother was very worried about her, and always called her out to eat every half hour.

"Miss, how can you do this, people want to eat."

"If you don't eat, you're hungry."

It was Su Tanmo's voice, extremely cold.

"Sir, this ......"

"You go back, she has biscuits in her room, and she won't die of hunger."

At this time, Su Deng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had a sour nose when he heard the words.

She hadn't eaten three meals, and what Su Tanmo didn't know was that the reason why there were always cookies in her room was because Lu Manman often bought them for her.

And when she was six years old, after Lu Manman left, no one remembered her habit of eating biscuits, and put some here and some in her room.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, only that the strong smell of disinfectant water had suddenly appeared in her nose.

It seemed as if someone was talking to her.

"Your child is in a very serious condition, low blood sugar, dehydration, and mild stomach ulcers......"

Gradually, a faint cry sounded beside her.

"Miss, you've slept all day, what should you do if you call me, Miss......"

"Mr. will get the certificate with Mrs. Gu today, and he also opened up Mrs. Lu's flower room for her to use."

"Even the special studio for the young lady was given half to Young Master Gu."

Su Deng stayed in the hospital for a week.

During this period, Su Tanmo never saw her in the future, as if he had forgotten that she had a daughter.

And Mother Hu, who has been taking care of her, seems to have a sense in her heart, and never mentions Su Tanmo and Gu's mother and son in front of her.

Su Deng also tacitly didn't ask.

This week, she ate normally, slept normally, and chatted and walked with her grandmother walking her dog downstairs in the inpatient department from time to time.

Mother Hu always looked at her with worried eyes, and Su Deng would obediently hold her arm and coquettishly say that she wanted to eat fried chestnuts with sugar on Zhengxin Street.

Just when Hu's mother thought that the child was forgetful and that she didn't care so much about the arrival of her new family, everything changed in an instant when she returned to the villa.

Su Deng ran into the hall and saw that Su Tanmo and Gu Shuhui had already eaten lunch at the dining table.

"Daddy." She shouted as usual.

Seeing her come in, Gu Shuhui put down her chopsticks and obviously began to be nervous.

Su Deng changed his previous attitude of rejecting her, and called sweetly, "Auntie is good." ”

Gu Shuhui was flattered and responded.

Su Tanmo wiped his mouth with a napkin and leaned back on the chair, "In this case, if you come, you will be safe, get along with your Aunt Gu and Brother Xiao Mo, and don't make children angry anymore." ”

Su Deng nodded obediently, "I know, Dad." ”

"Sit down and eat."

Su Deng's eyes widened curiously, "Why didn't you see my brother?" ”

"Xiao Mo, he said that the pool next to the back garden is very beautiful, the one with a camphor tree, and he paints there." Gu Shuhui said.

Su Tanmo nodded in agreement, "Xiao Mo is like you, just in contact with painting, with amazing talent, and forgetting to sleep and eat." ”

"That's right." Su Deng raised a smile, "Then I'll go say hello to my brother first and then come to dinner." ”

After that, without waiting for them to answer, Su Deng ran out.

Sure enough, as Gu Shuhui said, a good young man is like Gu Mo, sitting under the camphor tree in a clean white shirt, changing the appearance of a down-and-out beggar when she first saw her.

From afar, the trees are big and small. At this time, it is summer, and there are lotus flowers poking out along the edge of the pond, and the stems and leaves float slightly with the wind, so it is not beautiful.

His hand holding the paintbrush flicked and paused, and the pond on the canvas became clearer and clearer.

I don't know if it was the pond that inspired the depiction, or because the boy's pen had the magic of flowers and trees, so that this deep and quiet scenery was created.

For some reason, Su Deng suddenly remembered a draft she saw on the desk in her study by chance when she was ten years old.

"When the ship returns to the sea,

The water of the waterfall flows upstream,

Jasmine seeds float back from afar,

Gather into the appearance of snow.

The sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

The bullet returned to the chamber.

I untie the red scarf, and forget the sorrow in your eyes,

You're still with me. ”

Su Deng closed his eyes, this was written to her mother, he was obviously still missing, still waiting.

On that rainy day, if only she hadn't brought Gu Mo home, maybe it wouldn't be long before Dad would chase Mom back, and their family would be able to get back together.

But now, the appearance of him and that woman has made this possibility disappear.

Completely gone.
