Let Yu Yu stay in the Song family compound, where Song Jinshi can play with her.

Gu Qingyan and Xu Zhaozhao had another, more important matter to attend to—seeing Gu Ru off at the airport as he left the country.

He had already sent a text message to Gu Yulin, telling him that he was going to settle abroad and that they might not see each other for several years.

I also asked him if he wanted Yuyu to see him off at the airport.

Gu Ru refused.

Late-stage kidney cancer.

Four words shortened his life to two months, or even less.

Once they boarded that plane, they were separated forever.

Gu Ru is still unable to walk. He underwent another round of chemotherapy a few days ago, and all his hair has fallen out.

When Gu Ru first transmigrated here half a year ago, he was full of vigor and high spirits. Now he is skin and bones, as if he will disappear at any moment.

No amount of money can buy life.

Gu Ru had already gone to the VIP lounge to wait for his flight, and they followed him there.

Normally, you can't enter the VIP lounge without a ticket, but they are not ordinary people.

To their surprise, Gu Ru was accompanied by someone else—Jian Lan.

In the VIP lounge, Jian Lan sat next to Gu Ru, holding a bowl of thin porridge in her hand, and slowly fed him.

He had checked all his belongings in, but he was still carrying the bouquet of carnations he had picked for him in the backyard when he visited him.

A few days later, some of the flowers had already bloomed—they were at their most beautiful.

The heartache in Jian Lan's eyes was almost tangible.

Gu Qingyan's grandfather, Yin Qi's mother... these seem to be two titles that never seem to fit together.

But it's clear there's a story between them.

Xu Zhaozhao put aside her myriad thoughts and walked inside with Gu Qingyan, gradually approaching the two people.

Gu Ru noticed the two immediately and looked over with a deep gaze.

His hands trembled as he picked up the tea the flight attendant had prepared and took a sip, his large gold rings gleaming in the sunlight.

Even a dying man is a wealthy dying man.

Thump.

He put down his teacup and looked at Gu Qingyan. "I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Before Gu Qingyan could respond, Jian Lan stood up first. "Zhao Zhao, can I go to the restroom with you? I don't know the way very well."

It's as if Xu Zhaozhao knows them.

But this was clearly just an excuse to get her out of the way.

Gu Qingyan held her tighter, but Xu Zhaozhao gestured for him to let go, so he loosened his grip.

Coincidentally, she and Jian Lan had not yet settled their score.

"Let's go, Senior Jane."

Xu Zhaozhao walked ahead. She wasn't stupid; she wouldn't go into a confined space and give Jian Lan the opportunity to do something underhanded.

We arrived at a floor-to-ceiling window. The area was spacious and quiet, but flight attendants occasionally passed by.

Where is there a better place?

Xu Zhaozhao was holding a cup of freshly boiled water, and Jian Lan was standing next to her.

She took a sip and looked out the window at the scenery. "Senior Jian, is there something you want to say to me?"

"I heard you're going to have a wedding ceremony."

Jian Lan gripped her bag tightly and forced a slightly bitter smile. "I really envy you."

“Senior Jian, you shouldn’t involve innocent people in your relationship with Gu Ru.”

Xu Zhaozhao stared intently at the faint shadow she cast on the glass: "If it weren't for Gu Ru, I can't think of any other reason why you would target Yu Yu."

"Oh."

Jian Lan smiled indifferently.

A legendary actress, with unparalleled beauty, yet her smile was tinged with bitterness.

"I met him when I was 14 years old, we were childhood sweethearts..."

Jian Lan didn't respond to Xu Zhaozhao's words, but instead told a story to herself.

It's basically a story about how the childhood sweetheart couldn't compete with the one who fell from the sky.

Gu Ru and Jian Lan were childhood sweethearts and even had a marriage agreement. It is expected that they will marry each other, even if Gu Ru does not love her.

Her path in the entertainment industry was arranged by her family. As long as she obeyed, the title of Best Actress would be hers sooner or later.

Time passed year after year.

She changed, growing more and more in love with Gu Ru; but Gu Ru also changed, becoming increasingly frivolous.

Jian Lan deceived himself, saying that he was just playing around and would settle down after marriage, when their marriage was only a year away.

A year later, Jian Lan will win the Best Actress award and marry Gu Ru.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.

Just when she was one step away from winning the Best Actress award, the fact that Gu Ru brought home a girl and had given birth to a boy could no longer be kept secret.

She spent a month in the hospital, and the film was cancelled; her father was also furious and wanted to go to her house in person to demand an explanation.

Gu Ru agreed to annul the engagement, and his father said he didn't even bother to glance at the annulment agreement.

Without her spiritual pillar, she could no longer act with spirit. For five whole years, she was very close to winning the Best Actress award, but she couldn't take it.

However, a piece of information discovered by a private investigator revealed that the girl Gu Ru brought home was an actress.

Her heart started pounding again.

They even imagined a whole melodramatic stand-in novel.

With a glimmer of hope, she took on another role and won the Best Actress award—he liked actors, so she would be the last actress.

She brought the trophy to the Gu family home, a place that felt both strange and familiar. Gu Ru said, "Lanlan, you've always been in my heart."

Much later, she realized that her arrival was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, crushing a mother.

But that day, her steps as she left the Gu family home were unsteady.

She enthusiastically returned to the entertainment industry, but felt that Gu Ru was becoming increasingly distant from her.

The private investigator uncovered another piece of information: Gu Ru hates people in the entertainment industry the most.

She had already achieved great success, but she retired from the entertainment industry for love.

Gu Ru did acknowledge her, but he was the kind of person who would ignore her after he was done with her, only interested in physical intimacy, not emotional connection.

Jian Lan remained obstinate and was forced by her father to marry the eldest son of the Yin family, giving birth to Yin Qi—only in this way could she have the opportunity to see Gu Ru.

She didn't love the Yin family, nor did she love Yin Qi; the little bit of love she had was given to Gu Ru.

But he's a complete scumbag!

The spirited 15-year-old Gu Ru will never return.

"Why...?"

Jian Lan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, her voice calm: "Why does he live such a peaceful life? I also want him to experience what it's like to lose a loved one."

Gu Ru loves only one person, Yu Yu.

Xu Zhaozhao glared at her, her eyes blazing with anger. "Is this your excuse for hurting Yu Yu?!"

"That's only one aspect."

Jian Lan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. "Gu Ru doesn't have long to live, so there's no point in me living."

She laughed, somewhat manicly: "My son wants him dead, so I might as well help him kill him. After all, I'm his mother..."

What mother would be so twisted as to help her son go and harass people?

Xu Zhaozhao strongly suspects that the years she was imprisoned by Jian's father also affected her mental state.

"But now it seems highly unlikely."

Putting aside the fact that Gu Yulin is intelligent and protected by the Gu and Xu families.

"I will accompany Gu Ru abroad today."

Jian Lan's expression had returned to normal. Looking at Xu Zhaozhao, she said, "If Xiao Qi really does something impulsive... Zhaozhao, I'm begging you..."

"Leave me a whole body and send me to the US."

She was unusually calm for a mother, turning away without hesitation.

Gu Qingyan and Gu Ru's conversation was over; it was time to register.

Jian Lan pushed Gu Ru, who was holding flowers, and the two figures gradually disappeared from their sight.

The plane slowly took off.

Xu Zhaozhao was held in Gu Qingyan's arms, but her hands were still a little cold.

This world has gone so mad that she can't understand it anymore.

Gu Qingyan noticed her unusual behavior, took her hand and covered it with his own, "What's wrong, baby?"

Xu Zhaozhao moved her lips, but didn't know where to begin.

Ding ding ding...

The cell phone rang abruptly.

Gu Qingyan took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and put it to his ear to answer the call.

Half a minute later, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go back right away."

Xu Zhaozhao had no idea what had happened.

All she knew was that Gu Qingyan drove incredibly fast, and when she got home, Gu Yulin was already waiting for her.

"Grandpa is really something."

Gu Yulin and Xu Zhaozhao tattled on me, saying, "They wouldn't let me choose another item; they insisted on sending me home."

Xu Zhaozhao chuckled and patted his head.

The moment Gu Qingyan stepped out the door, she received a WeChat message from him.

Little Pig: Something came up at the company, so I might have to work overtime again for the next few days. [Pity][Pity]

Little Pig: Baby, stay home these few days, I'm afraid they'll target you.

Piglet: I'm sorry, baby.
