The person in front of me acted like a heartbroken mother.
But what mother would mistake her own child?
Gu Huaiwei did put powder on her face to cover the red mole at the corner of her eye.
But a real mother would never admit her mistake.
"No." Gu Huaiwei lowered her eyes, and the slight emotional turmoil that had just risen in her heart disappeared. She raised her head again and put on the hypocritical mask she wore to outsiders, warm, polite, and cold. "I just never thought that you would appear in front of me again."
The smile on his face was just the right amount, like he was genuinely happy about the reunion.
The mother in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and touched Gu Huaiwei's soft black hair: "Our family reunion is thanks to the castle owner, and we must repay their kindness."
Dad said in a high-sounding tone: "Let's talk about repaying the favor later. Changge must want to know what happened over the years. We have been missing her for so many years. Now is the time for us to make up for it."
The two of them held Gu Huaiwei's hands affectionately.
Gu Huaiwei wanted to see what these two people were doing, so she cooperated with them.
The housekeeper prepared a big meal at noon.
Mom and Dad picked up some food for Gu Huaiwei.
Soon, the bowl in front of Gu Huaiwei was filled with seafood.
They knew exactly what my sister liked to eat, and they only picked out the dishes that my sister liked.
Gu Huaiwei and her sister have different tastes.
She poked the crab on her plate and asked, "Why don't you ask your sister?"
"Weiwei?" Dad paused as he picked up some food for him. "Is she okay now?"
"She is ill, with an incurable disease."
Mom and Dad were not surprised by this.
The mother didn't even show much sadness. She was in a mood to comfort Gu Huaiwei: "The child has been in poor health since childhood. Later, she got cancer and needed someone to take care of her. We are not by her side."
"When did I say she had cancer?" Gu Huaiwei just said it was an incurable disease.
There are many incurable diseases, not just cancer.
Mom realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends, "We've been asking about you two sisters over the years, and we've heard a little about Weiwei's health."
This statement is also full of loopholes.
Since they knew that Gu Huaiwei had been ill before, why did her father hypocritically ask her how she was doing now?
Gu Huaiwei did not expose them. She picked up a piece of crab meat and chewed it, but it was tasteless.
What is certain is that they don’t know that Gu Huaiwei has taken over the management of her sister’s dimension.
They thought she was Gu Changge.
Among the six shareholders of the paradise, Zhou Paopi knew Gu Huaiwei's true identity and had been helping her to cover up, so the "dad and mom" in front of him were not sent by Zhou Paopi.
After dinner, Mom and Dad began to reminisce about the past.
They took out many old photos.
These photos were taken of them holding the twin sisters in various places in the park.
The family of four looks very sweet.
"Sending you to an orphanage is the thing I regret most in my life." Mom stroked the photo with her fingers. "At that time, your father and I had some business problems. Our family went bankrupt and was being chased by creditors. We really couldn't afford to raise you. If you had stayed with us, you would probably have starved to death. Although the environment in the orphanage was harsh, at least you could live a good life."
"After your mother sent you to the orphanage, she cried every night." Dad said emotionally at the right time.
"For a mother, being separated from her own flesh and blood is a very cruel thing." Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Changge, can you forgive your parents for the decision they made back then?"
They made up so many stories that they almost took them seriously.
Gu Huaiwei played the role of a good girl. She sneered in her heart, her eyes sharpened, but her words became softer: "Forgive me, you said you did this out of helplessness, how could I really be angry with you?"
Dad and Mom looked at each other and became even more enthusiastic towards Gu Huaiwei.
This castle trapped Gu Huaiwei. During the following period, Gu Huaiwei's life was quite comfortable except that she had no way to leave the castle and could not meet the six owners of the castle.
The castle is fully equipped with daily necessities.
Mom and Dad said they wanted to make up for the family love she lacked and treated her very well.
The housekeeper didn't come to deliver the food either.
Every day, her mother went to the castle kitchen and cooked her sister's favorite dishes in different ways.
Her father patiently chatted with her about some little girl topics and asked if she had someone she liked.
Gu Huaiwei cooperated with them and acted like a considerate and obedient daughter.
She wanted to see what tricks they were playing.
In the past few days, Gu Huaiwei also tried to use the sound transmission note to communicate with the semi-finished product.
More than half a month has passed and there is still no response to the semi-finished product.
There are no clocks in the castle.
Gu Huaiwei has experienced the planes of cultivation and magic. The tasks in these planes span a long time, and Gu Huaiwei herself will not age, which makes her insensitive to time now.
Another month passed.
Maybe mom and dad have almost finished playing their affectionate game.
Mom fell ill.
It’s the same disease that Gu Huaiwei had back then, bone cancer.
Dad stayed by Mom's bedside, heartbroken, his heart clenched into a ball, and then his hair turned white dramatically overnight.
Gu Huaiwei stood beside the bed, silent.
She actually had a very happy month.
Gu Huaiwei knew that there was something wrong with them, but they played the role of qualified parents, making up for Gu Huaiwei's childhood without parents.
She had imagined countless times what kind of life she would live if her parents were by her side.
Now, she has the answer.
It's a pity, she cooperated so well and the acting has to end early.
Mom's originally rosy face turned pale. She lay on the bed and weakly waved to Gu Huaiwei: "Changge, come to Mom."
Gu Huaiwei walked over and meekly put her face against the cold hands: "I'm here."
Her long eyelashes covered her eyes, and they couldn't see the emotions in them.
"I'm sorry, Mom wants to stay by your side forever and see you in your wedding dress, but Mom doesn't have time..."
My mother coughed a few times and blood came out from the corner of her lips.
Gu Huaiwei pinched her wrist and felt her pulse.
I'm not pretending to be sick.
In modern medicine, it is a multi-organ disease caused by cancer and there is no cure.
Use the skills learned in the small dimension to judge.
Her life force was cut off and there was no way to save her.
If Gu Huaiwei really didn't know the truth, the little girl who had just been lost and found should have been crying out of breath by now.
It’s not painful to never have something.
The pain is that you just get it, but it disappears in a flash.
Gu Huaiwei just felt regretful.
It's a pity that they died just to make her sad.
Dad grabbed Gu Huaiwei's wrist, his eyes bloodshot: "Changge, we must save Mom!"
