Shen Nianchu was filled with anger and questioned aloud,
"What's going on? Always feeling guilty? Always regretting? Always keeping an eye on my mom's life? Then why has he never come to acknowledge his daughter? Just because she married the wrong person, he severed the father-daughter relationship and cut off all contact for life? Are there really parents in this world who could be so cruel? How should I understand this? Why don't you tell me? What kind of mentality should I have?"
After a pause, Shen Nianchu suddenly laughed at himself and said,
"Oh, I almost forgot about myself. It's not hard to understand. After all, my father is much the same. He didn't care about me, his daughter, because he was attracted by other women and other people's sons. Not to mention, it was my mother who was determined to be with another man. The old man was angry and didn't want to interact with her. I understand."
"Child...I..."
"dad!"
"grandfather!"
The old man opened his mouth, probably wanting to explain, but he fainted before he could even utter a complete sentence.
…
Lu's Private Hospital.
Shen Nianchu stood in the corridor outside the top-floor VIP ward, leaning against the wall, staring at the floor with lifeless eyes, his face expressionless.
But only Lu Jinzhou could see that she was nervous.
Soon, Lu Xingzhou and several cardiology experts came out.
"The patient had a heart bypass surgery not long ago and hasn't fully recovered yet. He can't stand any stimulation. Otherwise, there's nothing serious. He'll wake up in a few hours. Don't worry."
Lu Jinzhou pulled Shen Nianchu's hand that was hanging by her side and pried open her tightly curled fist. "It's okay, don't worry."
"Who's worried?" Shen Nianchu said stubbornly.
Lu Jinzhou laughed, "Okay, okay, you said you're not worried."
His girl is just being stubborn. If she wasn't really worried, why would she come to the hospital with her?
Shen Nianchu was about to leave, but Eric came out of the ward and called her, "Nianchu, let's talk."
I clearly don’t want to talk, but my feet feel like they’re filled with lead and I can’t move my feet. Maybe I’m still expecting an answer in my heart.
Yu Guohua was not the type to dither, so he stood in the corridor and got straight to the point.
"When your grandfather was young, he was a very strong-willed man. No one ever disobeyed him. But your mother, who had always been a good girl since she was a child, would have thought that if she disobeyed him, it would be a major event in her life.
When your grandfather met Shen Huaifeng for the first time, he felt that he was not a trustworthy person, but your mother didn't listen. The two quarreled for more than a week. Your mother even resorted to hunger strike. In the end, there was a big fight. Your grandfather was determined to break them up, so he threatened that if your mother insisted on being with Shen Huaifeng, he would break off all ties with her.
I originally wanted to scare her, but who would have thought that Wanhua, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, actually agreed. I guess she was hurt by her grandfather's strong opposition, so she left.
Grandpa asked someone to stop her, but she directly pointed the knife at her neck to scare Grandpa. I really don’t know what tricks that scumbag Shen Huaifeng used to coax your mother into being so confused. Grandpa was also sad and let go in a fit of anger.
And just like that, the father and daughter lost contact.
We have tried to persuade them, but they both have the same temper and no one can persuade them.
In the first few years, I have been paying attention to your mother's movements, and so has your grandfather. Although he never said it, your mother and Shen Huaifeng started a business at that time and made a name for themselves in the building materials market. Your grandfather carefully collected all the news about the Shen family. Later, your mother gradually disappeared, and I learned that she became a full-time housewife, so the news naturally became less... The little we occasionally heard about were all taken when she accompanied Shen Huaifeng to dinner parties. She looked pretty good.
When you were about to start middle school, your grandmother fell seriously ill... Her passing was a huge blow to your grandfather, and he gradually stopped paying attention to the outside world until Zhao Ma, who was taking care of your mother, came to visit.
Yu Guohua took a deep breath and continued,
"Your grandfather heard the news of Wanhua's death, and Aunt Zhao also talked about how your life hasn't been very good these past few years... Your grandfather couldn't bear the shock and had a heart attack. He had surgery, but he's old after all, and he was hiding something, so he hasn't recovered well. He's had several surgeries over the past year."
"I saw you were suffering from depression online before, and I was afraid of upsetting Grandpa again, so I delayed the meeting until now..."
Lu Jinzhou's expression turned colder as he spoke slowly, "Knowing that Nian Nian has depression, are you so confident that she can recover on her own? Without even asking?"
Yu Guohua: "Because you are by her side."
"Wanhua mentioned you in her suicide note, saying you were someone she could trust. We've dealt with each other several times in business before, and I trust you. So, I feel safe knowing Nian Nian is by your side. Rather than rushing over to claim her and irritate her, it's better to let her receive treatment quietly."
"But for over a year now, we've all been following her online. We know she's doing well, and we're all relieved. We've been looking for the right opportunity and time to meet her. Last night, when he saw Nian Nian's Weibo post, the old man said he wouldn't wait any longer and flew over overnight..."
She posted a Weibo last night, a photo with Yu Wanhua.
Yu Guohua explained very seriously, but Shen Nianchu didn’t care about what he said at all.
She always felt uneasy in her heart. She felt that Yu Wanhua's misfortune started after she met Chen Huaifeng. Chen Huaifeng was the culprit. She also felt that there were problems between father and daughter. In short, it was difficult to judge.
But what's the point of saying this now? Yu Wanhua can't hear it anyway.
I suffered so much when I was alive, and now I am gone. Is it really meaningful to come to my grave and regret my pain?
Shen Nianchu took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, since we've met before, there's no need to recognize each other. When the old man wakes up, you can take him back."
Yu Guohua knew that the little girl had resentment in her heart.
"Nianchu, Grandpa... is very regretful. He feels deeply sorry for both your mother and you. We came too late, but are you willing to give us a chance to make amends now?"
I don't know when, the man who claimed to be my brother at the cemetery also appeared at the door.
"Sister, Grandpa really does miss you. Over the past year or so, he's watched your works, your variety shows, your interviews, and every video of yours he could find online over and over again in the hospital ward. Even when he was unconscious in bed, he kept calling out Auntie and your name. If you don't believe me, I have the video here."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and started looking for the video he was talking about seriously.
Shen Nianchu: “…”
'Sister' also came out, "I have it here too. Grandpa really misses you. He delayed for over a year because of health reasons, not for anything else. You have to trust him. Look, he always watches your video when he goes for a checkup..."
“…”
Shen Nianchu tugged at the hem of Lu Jinzhou's coat for help: "I know, no need to watch the video."
Lu Jinzhou: "Give Nian Nian some time. It's too sudden. It's late today. I'll take her back to rest first. I'll ask someone to make arrangements. You guys should also go to bed early. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
Everyone else also knew that it was time to give Shen Nianchu some time to recover, so they had to give up for the time being.
