Ling Jianshe's eyes were filled with memories as he slowly recounted what happened back then.
"Seven years ago, our family of four lived a happy life. But one time, my wife was late picking up Shuangshuang from school. By the time she arrived opposite the school, most of the students had left, leaving Shuangshuang standing alone at the school gate."
"My wife had just parked the car and Shuangshuang, perhaps too excited to see her mother, ran out onto the road."
"Just at this moment, a large truck suddenly drove out from the side."
"My wife rushed to save our daughter without hesitation, but..."
Ling Jianshe took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and continued, "Shuangshuang was pushed out onto the road by her mother, and my wife was hit by a truck. She was already dead when she was taken to the hospital."
"Shuangshuang feels that she killed her mother and cannot forgive herself. It's useless even if I tell her that this matter has nothing to do with her."
"Since that incident, Shuangshuang has become very withdrawn. Apart from her brother and me, she has a cold attitude towards everyone."
After hearing this, Mo Laishi finally understood.
No wonder she was so excited when she helped Ling Yunshuang block the beer bottle last night. It turned out that she was recalling that painful experience.
"Then didn't you take her to see a psychiatrist?" Morales asked.
Ling Yunshuang's case is a typical case of post-traumatic stress disorder. That is to say, after witnessing her mother's accident, Ling Yunshuang shifted the blame onto herself and thus shut herself off.
Ling Jianshe sighed and said, "Ah, I've seen it, but it's no use. The psychiatrist said that Shuangshuang is lucky not to have severe depression in her current situation. She's just focusing all her attention on studying and working to isolate herself. Unless she can find someone who can open her heart, Shuangshuang may continue like this."
Upon hearing this, Morais also fell into deep thought.
He did have a way to cure Ling Yunshuang, but because the incident happened so long ago, it had become a stubborn knot in Ling Yunshuang's heart, and it was not an easy task to cure it.
Just when Ling Jianshe and Mo Laishi were silent, Ling Yunshuang came back.
As soon as she entered the living room, she noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Ling Yunshuang asked.
"Oh, nothing. You're back at the right time. Doctor Mo just arrived not long ago. You can chat with Doctor Mo for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready." Ling Jianshe smiled stiffly, then walked into the kitchen.
"You're here?" Ling Yunshuang said as she sat down opposite Mo Laishi.
Mo Laishi rolled his eyes at Ling Yunshuang and said, "I think your way of greeting people is quite unique. I am a guest in your house after all, can't you be a little more friendly?"
Although Mo Laishi sympathized with Ling Yunshuang's situation, he couldn't help but complain when he saw her cold face.
"Then how do you think I should greet you in a friendly and cordial manner?" Ling Yunshuang said.
"At least... forget it, just greet me however you want." Mo Laishi himself said he couldn't go, so he could only drink his tea and no longer pay attention to Ling Yunshuang.
Seeing Mo Laishi's crazy expression, Ling Yunshuang showed a barely perceptible curve at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, Ling Jianshe came out of the kitchen carrying two dishes and said with a smile, "It's almost time to eat."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunshuang also stood up to help.
Soon, the table was filled with eight dishes and a soup, and Ling Jianshe happily took out a bottle of Maotai that he had collected for many years.
"Dad, you just got out of the hospital, you can't drink." Ling Yunshuang said with a frown.
"It's okay to drink a little. It's a rare occasion that Dr. Mo comes to visit us today, so be happy." Ling Jianshe smiled and took out two small glass cups and filled them up.
"Master Ling, you can only drink three cups at most now. Any more will be harmful to your health." Mo Laishi also advised.
"Okay, then I'll only drink three cups. Doctor Mo, don't call me the head of the Ling family anymore. It sounds too distant. Call me Uncle Ling. It's more friendly." Ling Jianshe said after inviting a few people to sit down.
"Okay, Uncle Ling, you can call me Xiao Mo from now on." Seeing that the other party said so, Mo Laishi naturally did not continue to be polite.
Ling Jianshe raised a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Come on, Xiao Mo, it's all thanks to you that I'm able to save my life. You've also helped a lot at the company, so I have to toast you with this first glass of wine."
Mo Laishi also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling, you are here again. I told you not to be so polite."
"Of course I do. Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone such a big favor. Come, let's have one." Ling Jianshe was also a generous person. After clinking glasses with Mo Laishi, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Wait a moment."
Ling Yunshuang suddenly called out to the two of them.
Ling Jianshe and Mo Laishi's hands, which were raising their glasses, froze, not knowing what Ling Yunshuang wanted to do.
Ling Yunshuang walked straight to the wine cabinet, took out a wine glass, and filled it up.
She raised her glass a little awkwardly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you, too."
Ling Jianshe was very surprised by her daughter's abnormal behavior. She hadn't seen her daughter so proactive for a long time.
But he was still very happy. He laughed heartily and said, "Okay, let's drink this together."
After saying that, he was the first to drink it all.
Although Morais was also surprised, he didn't say anything and also finished the wine in his glass.
Ling Yunshuang took a sip. After all, she had to go back to work in the afternoon, so she didn't want to drink too much.
