Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Accident I
Ever since Cai Meina received that letter, her whole mood has been off.
Gong Tao understands why his wife is anxious, but in his view, since the matter has already occurred, there’s no use in getting worked up about it.
Moreover, it’s not like they weren’t mentally prepared for this; it’s just that now they have received some definite news.
"Don’t worry, let’s think about how to talk about it," Gong Tao sighed internally, cursing Gao Yanan fiercely in his heart.
But now, no matter how much they scold Gao Yanan, it won’t change anything, as if they could go back in time, "If you keep this up, Cai Ming will notice something’s wrong."
Of course, Cai Meina knows she can’t let Cai Ming see anything off, and she also knows she has to cover it up a bit, but she really couldn’t help it.
"What do you think I should do?"
"In hindsight, we shouldn’t have let Cai Ming get in touch with her in the first place."
"Hmph, I guess she has wanted to break up with Cai Ming for a while; it’s just that she was too embarrassed after getting those materials."
Cai Meina understands Gao Yanan’s hesitation, it’s all about not wanting to part with so many good study materials, "But she could have waited until after the exams to write to Cai Ming."
"Could Cai Ming really stop her from getting married?" She understands her brother well; no matter how much he can’t let go, if that girl Gao Yanan has made up her mind, her brother would just hold the pain in his heart.
Let it out, let it out, Gong Tao thought, letting his wife express her feelings would be better, otherwise holding it in would not be good in many ways.
But when it’s been one day, two days, three days, and she keeps talking about these things, Gong Tao knows the situation isn’t good, his wife is caught up in it and hasn’t come out.
Watching his wife getting thinner day by day, Gong Tao cursed Gao Yanan’s ancestors for eighteen generations, but that’s not a solution, only calling their daughter, Gong Ruini, would help.
He didn’t call Gong Ruwen not because he didn’t want to disrupt his son’s studies, but because this boy can’t comfort people with his clumsy mouth.
Gong Ruini has no idea that while she’s enthusiastically explaining problems to her classmates every day, her own mother is sunk into such turmoil.
"Grandma, you said my mom isn’t feeling well?" Gong Ruini looked in disbelief towards Hua Miaozhu, stunned by the news she brought.
But that can’t be, when Cai Meina visited her over the weekend, everything was fine, she was eating and sleeping well, how come in such a short time, her health has declined?
If Hua Miaozhu was sent to inform her, the situation must be serious, "Is my little brother unwell?"
Gong Ruini never experienced pregnancy in any past life, but she knows about morning sickness. Could it be that Cai Meina is at that stage now? If that’s the case, it’s very troublesome.
"It’s not your brother, it’s just your mom’s been worrying lately," Hua Miaozhu watched Cai Meina grow thinner day by day; otherwise, Gong Tao wouldn’t have held out.
No way, has she been like this recently? Gong Ruini felt regretful, how come she didn’t realize when her mom visited last time, if only she had noticed.
"Grandma, I’ll get a leave." It’s useless to keep guessing like this; she needs to go see for herself to understand Cai Meina’s current condition and offer proper comfort.
"I’ll go with you." Zhao Xuran saw Grandmother from the window and was surprised. Although she visits often, she never comes to the school, and for her to come to supervise means something important happened.
Zhao Xuran took a leave without realizing he would hear such news, "I’ll notify Gong Ruwen."
Such a significant matter can’t exclude Gong Ruwen, otherwise this guy will get upset and stay angry for a long time.
"Don’t call my brother, it won’t help." Gong Ruini didn’t know why the old man didn’t mean to notify her brother, but since he didn’t suggest it, he probably thought it was useless for her brother to come back, so there was no need to call him.
Oh, don’t call Gong Ruwen, Zhao Xuran stared at Gong Ruini for a while before Hua Miaozhu explained it was Gong Tao’s decision, then Zhao Xuran went to the teacher to request leave.
Along the way, Gong Ruini was worried, constantly thinking about what might be wrong with Cai Meina. Generally speaking, there shouldn’t be major issues, especially with Zhan Jing around,
If it was really an issue with the child, Zhan Jing would have notified them, that’s not a trivial matter.
"Everything will be okay." Zhao Xuran saw the anxiety and concern on Gong Ruini’s face; he reached out and held her hand, "Aunt Cai will be alright."
"Mm, everything will be fine." Gong Ruini nodded repeatedly, it has to be fine, sigh, regretting not preparing more ginseng before, at least she wouldn’t be so panicked now.
"My dad, too, knowing my mom’s situation isn’t good, why didn’t he inform me earlier?" Gong Ruini couldn’t help but get a bit resentful towards Gong Tao.
She knew he didn’t want the siblings to worry, but why not notify them if he has the ability, and now he tells her, what’s the point?
Along the way, Gong Ruini worried a lot, and she did her mental preparation, but when she saw Cai Meina, she was shocked, "Mom, how did this happen to you?"
Looking at the thin Cai Meina before her, Gong Ruini was dumbfounded. She knew her situation wasn’t good, but she didn’t expect it to be this bad.
"Mom." Gong Ruini couldn’t help but rush over and bury herself in Cai Meina’s embrace, to avoid letting her see her tears.
But this hug only made Gong Ruini’s tears fall even more, "Mom, how did you get so thin."
Shouldn’t she be getting plumper? How did her mother become so skinny?
This was with coats and sweaters on; if it were summer, wouldn’t she be all bones except for her belly, "Mom, is it because my brother is misbehaving?"
Hmph, if it really is the little brother, Gong Ruini stated, "Once my brother is born, I’ll give him a good scolding."
"It’s not your brother." Cai Meina said her youngest son shouldn’t bear this burden, "It’s because your mom is troubled."
Cai Meina gave Gong Tao a sideways glance, she had told him not to bother the kids, but this guy insisted on notifying them, he really didn’t know what to think.
"Trouble is good." If what’s troubling Cai Meina isn’t Cai Ming, it’s probably something related to the Gong family or the Cai family. As to why she didn’t suspect Gong Tao, it’s simple: an honest man like him shouldn’t have any wild thoughts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have called his daughter back in the first place.
"Mom, we haven’t talked about personal matters in a long time, let’s have a chat." Gong Ruini hugged Cai Meina’s waist, playing the role of the dutiful daughter.
Talking about personal matters, this wasn’t something she originally wanted to discuss with her daughter, but she’s been holding it in for so long. She can’t even talk about how Gao Yanan is acting in front of Cai Ming, she has to pretend everything is fine, how exhausting!
Grabbing Gong Ruini, she recounted the entire story in Gong Zhuang’s letter.
Gong Ruini was stunned, although she had some idea, she didn’t expect things to be like this. If Cai Ming knew, could he really stay calm?
"What did Uncle say?" Right now, even if Cai Ming wanted to go back, due to school, he couldn’t find the time. But come summer break, Cai Meina knows her brother will definitely rush back.
Worry, worry; if she weren’t pregnant, Cai Meina could accompany him back for a trip, to let him see some truths before he’d fully wake up. But she needs to give birth, and Gong Tao needs to stay by her side.
They can’t let Ruini and the others accompany him back, that would cause a scene, could these kids handle it?
