Gu Yi was very good at talking. Su Xiao had just said she would bring it for him to try, but he said he would bring it for the old man to try.
Su Xiao immediately realized that she had spoken inappropriately and smiled gratefully at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi squinted, but still smiled kindly, warmly inviting her to sit down and pouring her tea.
Su Xiao quickly stood up, accepted the gift with both hands, and thanked them.
After a few days apart, Old Master Gu's complexion didn't seem as good as last time.
Su Xiao's thoughts raced, and she made some guesses. She said with concern, "Sir, it's cold in winter. Please wear more clothes and take care of your health. If you feel unwell, it's best to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for treatment as soon as possible. Don't delay."
Grandpa Gu paused slightly in his teacup, his sharp gaze fixed on Su Xiao. Seeing her sincere expression, his gaze softened, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
How long has it been since the younger generation showed him any concern? Ever since his granddaughter was stolen, the house has been in complete chaos.
The daughter-in-law cried every day. Besides searching for the child, the son also had to comfort his wife. Unfortunately, there was still no news of the child. As time went by, the young couple's relationship became more and more strained. Finally, the daughter-in-law took her eldest grandson back to her parents' home. The eldest grandson would only come back to see the old man during the Spring Festival. Since the eldest grandson joined the army five years ago, he has come back even less often.
Sigh, Old Master Gu looked at the sky outside the main room. This house is getting more and more desolate.
Looking at the girl who was about the same age as his granddaughter, Grandpa Gu's heart softened a little.
"I heard you got into university? Which university?"
Su Xiao replied truthfully, "Kyoto Medical College."
"Studying medicine? That's a good idea," Grandpa Gu nodded.
The two chatted casually, and the atmosphere was much better than last time.
Su Xiao also took the opportunity to inquire about Gu Tingjiang's progress in finding the person. "I went to the Jin family with Mr. Gu that day and overheard something. I wonder if Mr. Gu has found the person yet?"
Grandpa Gu's expression turned serious, "There's still no news. After all, too much time has passed; it will probably take some more time."
Su Xiao nodded, thinking about it, and realized it made sense. Without the internet, with rudimentary communication and no paternity testing, finding someone was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Don't worry, as long as we keep searching, we'll definitely find it." Seeing that Old Master Gu was in low spirits, Su Xiao could only offer this words of comfort.
Grandpa Gu remained noncommittal, perhaps having heard such things so many times that he had become numb to them.
"Well, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. I just hope that the child can be adopted by a kind family and not suffer anymore." Old Master Gu has become more accepting of things over the years. Although there are different clues this time, they are still very vague, and it is uncertain whether they can uncover any useful information.
Su Xiao was deeply moved. She had watched many documentaries about child trafficking in modern times. For the families of the victims, losing their children is a devastating blow. Many spend their entire lives searching for them, filled with guilt, some even going insane, and their families breaking apart...
In short, it was terrible.
I overheard Gu Tingjiang and Qin Huifang's conversation a few days ago. To be honest, I have a very bad impression of Qin Huifang. She's a woman who's gone mad for love and has done all sorts of wrong things. Even if she gets her comeuppance, she doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
Because she has caused permanent and irreparable harm to others.
