Chapter 524 - 511:
"Haha..."
Yu Sangwan ran back, and Lu Jinxuan was already leaning against the car door waiting for her, right across from the steps of the surgery building.
"You’re here!"
Yu Sangwan ran over, jumped directly onto him, her straight legs wrapped around his waist. Lu Jinxuan reflexively reached out to support her butt. It felt quite nice... but he still kept a straight face, "Being this forward won’t help, explain, where have you been fooling around?"
"Oh, you’re so annoying!"
Yu Sangwan pouted, "I wasn’t fooling around, I just saw Mrs. Gong."
"Oh?" Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, "What was she here for?"
Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I don’t know! How could I ask that? She was crying so sadly! Maybe a friend’s very sick?"
"Wanwan." Lu Jinxuan said seriously, "This Mrs. Gong, don’t get too close to her."
"Huh?" Yu Sangwan stopped joking when she saw his serious face, "Because she’s your future mother-in-law? Hmph..."
Lu Jinxuan lightly pecked her lips, "You little jealous jar... It’s not like that. This Mrs. Gong is not simple, she’s not Gong Xueyan’s biological mother."
"...What?" Yu Sangwan was shocked, sighed, "But seeing them together, they’re just like biological mother and daughter."
"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan nodded, "None of them are simple characters, your brain’s not enough to handle it, don’t show any flaws in front of her... Before Donghua’s anniversary celebration, we need to be very careful about everything."
"Hmm..." Yu Sangwan dragged out her tone, squinting at him, "Mengmeng, what kind of amazing person are you?"
Lu Jinxuan clearly wasn’t used to this new nickname, and raised an eyebrow.
"Come on." Yu Sangwan snuggled into his embrace, "Tell me, tell me, even if you’re a mafia godfather, I won’t mind you."
Lu Jinxuan naturally knew this, but... he was afraid if she really knew, she’d be scared to tears.
"Can’t tell?" Yu Sangwan puffed her cheeks, "Hmph! Lu Mengmeng, are you keeping little secrets from me?"
Lu Jinxuan laughed, made a gesture, "A bit more advanced than a mafia godfather... I’ll tell you when the time comes. Let’s go home."
Yu Sangwan pouted, tch... still not saying!
"Then... was the doctor arranged by you?" Yu Sangwan didn’t press further, instead, she clung to him with another question.
Lu Jinxuan shook his head, earnestly said, "Probably Yuezhe!"
"Huh? Haha..." Yu Sangwan laughed with her eyes crinkling, stood on tiptoe and gave him a peck on the cheek, "I knew you were the best! I’ll cook something delicious for you when we get home..."
Lu Jinxuan tucked her into the car, fastened the seatbelt, "You don’t have to cook tonight, I’ve already asked Tang Yueze to arrange it, we can eat as soon as we arrive..."
Then he leaned towards her ear and said, "You eat... I’ll eat you."
Yu Sangwan: "..."
This guy, what would happen if he didn’t have his ’meat’ for a day?
...
Yu Sangwan didn’t expect to see Mrs. Gong at Donghua University again.
"Mrs. Gong?" Yu Sangwan came out of school, she finished class earlier today, and had already agreed with Lu Jinxuan to use working overtime at the company as an excuse to go out to sea with him. Last time, she missed his grandfather’s death anniversary.
Yu Sangwan knew in her heart, he was taking her to meet the ’family’.
Mrs. Gong stood at the school gate, as if waiting for someone.
Yu Sangwan politely greeted and was about to leave, "I’m leaving now."
"Wait." Mrs. Gong stopped her, "Yu Sangwan... may I call you Wanwan?"
"Uh..." Yu Sangwan was a bit surprised but agreed, "Of course you can."
After all, Mrs. Gong was a senior, she had no reason to refuse, but she remembered Lu Jinxuan’s words and didn’t want to have too much interaction with her.
Mrs. Gong, however, seemed reluctant to let her go, "Wanwan, do you... have time now? Can we find a place to have tea and talk?"
"..." Yu Sangwan frowned with confusion, shook her head, "Sorry, Mrs. Gong... I have something, I’m in a hurry."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Gong immediately showed a disappointed expression, "Then... just a few minutes to say a few words, is that okay?"
Yu Sangwan still wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Gong quickly held her hand, "Just a few words, very quickly."
In the end, Yu Sangwan still sat with Mrs. Gong on the bench at the school gate.
"Mrs. Gong, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Sangwan felt very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Gong looked at her, that gaze was truly enigmatic.
"Child, you’re... twenty years old?"
"Uh?" Yu Sangwan nodded dully, "Yes, I am."
Mrs. Gong seemed unwilling, closed her eyes briefly, and forced a smile, "Right, last time you only mentioned your father, what about your mother? Is she... is she well?"
Not understanding why Mrs. Gong asked such a question, Yu Sangwan shook her head, looking bewildered, "My mom already passed away!"
"..." Mrs. Gong’s expression suddenly turned rigid as if greatly shocked, "How... how could that be?"
"Is it strange?" Yu Sangwan was perplexed, "My mom passed away before I was born... it was a difficult childbirth."
"Ah?" Mrs. Gong’s expression was very conflicted, "How... how did you know? Did your father tell you?"
For some reason, facing Mrs. Gong, Yu Sangwan felt an indescribable urge to confide... momentarily, she forgot Lu Jinxuan’s advice.
She shook her head, her expression and tone filled with sorrow, "It’s not... my dad doesn’t like me. He never talks to me about these things. He only pays attention to me when he needs money or wants me to do something for him. He even hates me."
"..." Mrs. Gong covered her lips in shock, "How could that be? How could he?"
Yu Sangwan gave a bitter smile, "You don’t believe it? But that’s the reality. Sometimes, I have to doubt... whether he is my biological father."
"Wanwan." Mrs. Gong held her hand, her eyes reddening.
Yu Sangwan noticed, full of doubt, "Mrs. Gong, what’s wrong? You... are you very sad? Because of me?"
"Hmm!" Mrs. Gong nodded while choking up, her gaze filled with affection, "So, you’ve experienced a lot of hardship since you were young?"
"..." Yu Sangwan thought for a moment and sighed, "I didn’t know before because there was nothing to compare it with. I thought life was just like that. But... now that someone is good to me, I think, my past life was indeed hard."
Mrs. Gong took a bitter breath, "Well, have you ever thought about your mom?"
"...Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "How could I not think about her? Everyone else has a mom, but I don’t."
"Do you blame her?" Mrs. Gong asked, unable to control her accelerated heartbeat, gazing at her intently.
Yu Sangwan gently shook her head, "I don’t blame her. How could I dare to blame her? She died in childbirth because of me... I’m afraid she’d blame me!"
"Good child." Mrs. Gong couldn’t help herself, reaching out to hug Yu Sangwan, "You are such a good child, how can you be so kind?"
Yu Sangwan leaned on her shoulder, her body stiffening, "Mrs. Gong?"
"Child." Mrs. Gong seemed not to hear, continuing to ask her, "When do you usually think of your mom?"
Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, silent for a long while, before slowly saying, "...Every day. Thinking of Mom is something I do every day. Since I was little, people around me would say I don’t look like Dad, so I think I probably look a lot like Mom... I often look in the mirror, picturing what Mom looks like... every day, I think.
"Ah!" Mrs. Gong suddenly sobbed, as if running out of breath.
"Mrs. Gong, are you alright?" Yu Sangwan saw her crying and hurriedly took out a tissue to hand to her, "Why are you..."
Mrs. Gong tried hard to control herself, "I’m sorry, I... I’m just heartbroken for you, at such a young age..."
"Hehe." Yu Sangwan smiled and shook her head, resisting the tears welling up from her eyes, "It’s okay! I’m doing well now."
Seeing her smile, Mrs. Gong pursued further, "You said someone treats you well now? Is it... a boyfriend?"
At that moment, Yu Sangwan remembered Lu Jinxuan’s words, regretting saying so much. She immediately stood up, picked up her backpack, "Mrs. Gong, I’m sorry! I’m in a hurry, can’t talk with you anymore, I have to go!"
"..."
Mrs. Gong didn’t have time to say anything, as Yu Sangwan already turned and ran off.
Watching her back, Mrs. Gong finally couldn’t hold back, covering her face, bursting into tears, "Oh, child! Wanwan! Oh... Taotao! Taotao..."
...
Yu Sangwan ran to the subway entrance, Lu Jinxuan’s car was already waiting there. She hurriedly got into the car, "You came so early? Didn’t we agree to wait at home?"
"Who made you so slow?" Lu Jinxuan tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Tsk." Yu Sangwan pouted, "What if you use a sweeter way of saying it?"
Lu Jinxuan glanced at his girlfriend in the rearview mirror. Alright, he had to fulfill his girlfriend’s request. "Uh, I missed you, wanted to see you sooner, so... I left early."
"Hehe." Yu Sangwan laughed, "That’s better, let’s go!"
They drove to the seaside, Tang Yueze already had a yacht prepared. Since it’s a private island, they set the course themselves, the captain was their own.
Thinking about going to pay respects to Lu Jinxuan’s grandfather, Yu Sangwan was still a bit nervous, "Phew! Inhale..."
Lu Jinxuan lied on the deck chair, cast a sidelong glance at her, "No need to be nervous, even if Grandpa doesn’t like you, he can’t jump out and oppose, just let him have a look at you."
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan opened one eye, closed the other, looking charming and cute, "What do you mean ’just let him have a look’? You’re the one who’s ’just there’! I’m so pretty... such a good figure, and very smart too..."
"..." Lu Jinxuan looked at her silently, causing Yu Sangwan to feel guilty, her voice growing softer.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
Yu Sangwan spoke softly, fiddling with her fingers, "I’m being humble..."
"Oh." Lu Jinxuan tilted his head, "Are you sure, it’s humility, not arrogance?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan bounced up, pressing Lu Jinxuan beneath her, "What did you say? Are you rebelling?"
Lu Jinxuan’s eyes dimmed, his good mood lifting the corners of his mouth, "Indeed... nice figure, let’s go inside the cabin, let me verify!"
