Half a month before delivery.
Gu Qingcheng saw two pieces of news in the newspaper.
First, her Qianlixiang chain store has grown bigger and stronger, and the persons in charge in each province have basically been determined.
The brand Qianlixiang is already well known to the public.
So far, Gu Qingcheng's entrepreneurship has basically been successful.
There was another piece of news. There was a picture drawn in a corner of the newspaper.
In the painting, there is a small farmyard surrounded by green trees.
White walls and black tiles.
On the grass in the distance, a group of children were laughing and playing in the open space, two older children and eight younger children.
No more, no less, exactly ten.
Smoke rose from the chimney of the house; a loving couple was cooking.
This method...
Gu Qingcheng is too familiar.
As she felt familiar with it, a wave of fear surged into her heart.
Because she clearly saw a long paragraph written in the newspaper, which succinctly summarized it as follows:
The artist of this painting died.
This painting is his last one.
Sacrificed?
Who sacrificed?
Gu Qingcheng couldn't believe it.
Could it be that she was overthinking it?
Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath. At this time, her belly was already very big. She slowly walked into the house. She wanted to call Lu Shiyan.
She asked for proof.
But for some reason, every time she took a step forward, her heart ached a little more.
All those abnormal behaviors of Lu Shiyan at that time kept lingering in her mind and could not be dispelled no matter what.
With every step she took, her heart grew heavier.
The phone was right in the living room at home, but she couldn't get there.
Picking up the phone, Gu Qingcheng finally dialed the number.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..."
It took a long time for the other side to answer the call.
"Hello, wife?" Lu Shiyan's voice was still charming, but it sounded tired.
"What about Nian Nian?" Gu Qingcheng forced himself to calm down and asked this question.
There was silence over there all of a sudden.
It has been silent.
Gu Qingcheng even thought that the person on the other end had hung up the phone.
After an unknown amount of time, she asked him with a trembling voice, "Niannian is missing, right?"
She didn't dare use the word "sacrifice" because it was too scary.
He is still so young.
Lu Shiyan finally responded: "Wife...listen to me..."
He is now very anxious to explain to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng wanted to listen. She really wanted to know what happened to Nian Nian.
But her body was out of her control, and something inside her seemed to be falling downwards.
pain.
It hurts so much.
With a "bang", the phone fell to the ground.
He held his waist and shouted into the house.
"Mom, I, my stomach hurts..."
Mother Lu was embroidering a purse in the house when she suddenly heard her daughter-in-law's voice and hurried out.
The moment she saw Gu Qingcheng’s pale face, she was stunned and quickly pulled Lu’s father out.
"Old Lu, Old Lu, hurry up, Qingcheng is not in good condition!"
Lu Shiyan was also extremely anxious on the other end. He hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed home without even having time to ask for leave.
Gu Qingcheng was sent to the hospital.
This is the dean's daughter-in-law, and all the best doctors in the hospital took the initiative to deliver Gu Qingcheng's baby.
There are eight children at home, taken care of by a nanny. They are too young and it would be a hassle to come over and take care of them.
The three adults only brought Lu Mengmeng with them.
Waiting anxiously outside the operating room.
Gu Qingcheng had a difficult delivery and it took her a day and a night.
She screamed in her heart, this damn system, if it doesn’t come out at this time, is it going to kill her?
It's really like crying to heaven and earth for help, but no one is helping.
When Lu Shiyan arrived, Gu Qingcheng had not been born yet.
"Mom and Dad, what's going on?"
Mother Lu wiped away tears distressedly: "I have been in there for a day and a night, and the doctor said it was a difficult birth."
Lu Shiyan's eyes suddenly turned red and he leaned against the wall numbly, not daring to accept this fact.
"Let me go in and keep her company."
"She'd be scared if she were alone."
"dad!"
Lu Shiyan held his father's hand, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"Son! Wake up! Going in now will not help. You will only bring anxiety to Qingcheng!"
"Then what should I do?" Lu Shiyan tilted his head upwards, as if only in this way would the tears stop flowing out.
"Dad, I can't live without her. I'll go crazy without her!"
Father Lu clenched his fists. He called a doctor and asked him to take Lu Shiyan to change into protective clothing.
Lu Shiyan went in to accompany the birth.
When the man entered, the room was filled with the smell of blood, and Gu Qingcheng's weak face came into view.
He rushed over and held her hand.
"Wife...I'm here...Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
An hour later.
Gu Qingcheng finally gave birth.
A girl.
The only single fetus.
Everyone in the Lu family finally felt relieved.
The moment they came out of the delivery room, before Gu Qingcheng closed her eyes, Lu Shiyan fell down first.
The 1.88-meter-tall man just lay on the ground.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were helpless and rubbed their foreheads.
"We are so lucky to have such a son."
Two people helped Lu Shiyan into the ward and he stayed in the same room with Gu Qingcheng.
The whole family gathered around Gu Qingcheng's bed, saying thank you for her hard work.
Gu Qingcheng's gaze moved around and landed on Lu Mengmeng.
The little guy's eyes had also become a lot redder, and were not as lively as before.
Gu Qingcheng pursed her pale lips and said, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, you all go out. I want to talk to Mengmeng alone."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
The room was quiet again.
The eyes of both mother and daughter were filled with tears.
Lu Mengmeng couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed over and hugged Gu Qingcheng.
"Mom, mom."
Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath and used his other hand to continuously stroke Lu Mengmeng's back.
"Mom is here, Mom is here."
That day, Lu Mengmeng said a few words to Gu Qingcheng.
The first sentence -
"Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm going to participate in the global competition."
Gu Qingcheng agreed.
The second sentence -
"Sooner or later, I will bring my brother back."
Gu Qingcheng also agreed.
