"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I still want to say sorry. It was only when I was about to lose my daughter that I truly realized how important children are to their parents."
And... please convey my apologies to other families who, like you, have lost their children. I will do my best to make up for my past mistakes. I hope this will help your children return home soon.
Zhou Chunhua was still quite surprised to see Zhang Bo's sincere apology.
but……
"I don't accept your apology, but I will pass it on." With that, she turned and left.
She could never forgive Zhang Bo.
Because... a mistake is a mistake! And a scar will never disappear just because the scab falls off.
As soon as they stepped out of the interrogation room, two men in hats walked out of the next room at the same time.
The moment the door opened, she heard Wu Jing yelling, cursing, crying, and making a scene.
He sounded like he'd gone mad.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but shake her head; it turned out that not all mothers loved their children.
Once in the car, Gu Yao opened his notebook and started reading.
Zhou Chunhua didn't understand either, so she could only sit quietly in the passenger seat and wait with anticipation.
Only after Gu Yao closed his notebook did she ask softly, "So? Was what he gave you useful?"
She observed the subtle expressions on Gu Yao's face, and when she saw that Gu Yao didn't seem happy at all, her heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
In fact, she had experienced countless times when her expectations were dashed.
Logically speaking, they should have gotten used to it by now.
But every time she repeats the same mistake, she feels as if she is going to die.
If there were one word to describe this feeling, she felt it could only be heartbreak.
Indeed, sometimes she could even hear her heart making a sound like glass cracking.
Along with this sound came excruciating pain, as if my internal organs were being torn apart.
"I think it's worth a try."
Upon hearing Gu Yao speak, Zhou Chunhua sat up straight as if waking from a dream.
"W-What do you mean?"
She didn't understand what it meant to say that something is useful or useless, and that it's worth a try.
Gu Yao's lips slowly curved upwards, and two beautiful dimples, like pear blossoms, slowly unfolded.
"It's almost dawn, and I'm starving. Can you buy me breakfast?"
"ah?"
"Breakfast! I'll give it to you slowly while we eat breakfast..."
"Okay! What do you want to eat?" This was the first time she had interrupted Gu Yao.
Gu Yao's smile deepened.
"Many breakfast shops aren't open yet at this hour. Otherwise, I could go to your place myself..."
Before the word "cook" could even be uttered, Zhou Chunhua blurted out, "Okay!"
Throughout the journey, Zhou Chunhua's palms were sweaty with nervousness.
As soon as she entered, she saw the message Julia had left for her on the message board by the door.
[Sister Hua, I'm tragically back at the office working overtime again. Ugh, making money is hard, and life is tough!]
Finally, Juliana drew a huge crying face.
She awkwardly invited Gu Yao inside.
Gu Yao changed into slippers and put his shoes in the shoe cabinet.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but laugh at herself, saying that respect and disrespect can really be seen in small things.
Married to Liao Nanxing for over twenty years, he never puts his shoes back in the shoe cabinet when he changes his shoes before going in or out.
As a result, the doormat and slippers have to be washed twice a day.
She said it countless times, but Liao Nanxing simply didn't take her words seriously.
If I say too much, I'll get scolded.
In a household, there are many unnecessary chores that may seem insignificant, but when countless insignificant chores are added together, they can consume half a day or even more of her time.
"What would you like to eat?" She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.
"Let me see what else we can do in the fridge." Gu Yao stepped past her and opened the fridge first.
How about tomato and egg noodles?
She was almost caught off guard by Gu Yao's sudden question.
"Okay, okay."
"Then crack two eggs."
"Oh! Okay." She quickly took a bowl from the sterilizer and two eggs from the kitchen cabinet, and started beating them in the bowl.
Over at the sink, Gu Yao had already filled the tub with water and started boiling it. Then he began washing the tomatoes and dicing them.
It has to be said that Gu Yao is truly outstanding.
He not only takes good care of himself, but also takes exceptional care of those around him.
Just as she was about to open the freezer to get noodles, Gu Yao reached in first.
"No, didn't you say I'd cook?"
"You cooked it, and your noodles tasted good. I just think the freezer is too cold and not suitable for a lady to cook."
As he spoke, he threw the noodles into the pot.
Zhou Chunhua was truly touched.
Soon, two bowls of tomato and egg noodles were served.
As if sensing her anxiety and reluctance to ask, Gu Yao handed her the chopsticks and said, "Zhou Bo gave me several people's phone numbers, we just need..."
Upon hearing the final words, Zhou Chunhua could no longer contain her excitement.
This was the closest she had felt to Nini in all these years.
"By the way," Gu Yao suddenly said, "Has Liao Nanxing contacted you?"
"No." She shook her head.
Gu Yao frowned slightly.
A moment later, Gu Yao took out his phone and made a call.
She didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, but after Gu Yao gave her the address of Liao Nanxing's villa, he asked, "Have they moved away?"
"Oh? I see! I didn't expect that his low-EQ blockhead would actually come up with such a useless idea. Okay, let's make a sign and put it at his door later."
Zhou Chunhua looked completely bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and laughed, "I really didn't expect that he would move back to that old house in the family compound and then plan to rent out the villa in Yunxijian."
They even had the nerve to let the property management list that building for rent; weren't they ashamed? But I really didn't expect to be so easily ripped off.
She didn't know what was so funny about those words that made Gu Yao laugh so hard, as if he were watching a joke.
She just couldn't bring herself to laugh.
She had originally hoped that by selling that building, she could repay the millions that Gu Yao had lent her.
Now that Liao Nanxing is actually resorting to cost-cutting measures, it seems that getting that building back won't be so easy.
Just as she was frowning in worry, she heard Gu Yao say, "Don't worry, Liao Nanxing will come to find you in three to five days."
Although I don't know where Gu Yao's confidence comes from, every word he says since I met him has come true.
"Don't worry about Liao Nanxing for now. Go catch up on some sleep later, and then take care of Zhou Bo's matter first."
