Guo's mother smiled and said, "That's what I thought at the time, but as time goes by and I'm old now, I no longer have the energy to care about love. I just know that this is the city where I've lived my whole life, and I can't leave it now."
Guo Panfu lay in her mother's arms and said, "Mom, you have worked so hard over the years. You have suffered so much and there is no one to talk to. I am your daughter. If you have anything, just tell me. Why do you keep it in your heart?"
"You are my daughter. I don't want to spread any bad energy to you. These are not good things." Guo's mother smiled.
"You were so willing to accept defeat back then. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't accept such a defeat. I must fight for my own honor!"
"I was still with you then. You were so young, and I couldn't bear to see you suffer like that. So, over time, I just thought that as long as you could thrive, that was all that mattered. Money and power are external things that you can't take with you when you die. Compared to your ability to thrive, those are nothing. Besides, even if you have a lot of money, it's meaningless if you don't live a happy life. Although my life as mother and I is not very rich, we are very happy, aren't we?"
Guo Panfu smiled very happily and said, "Yes, when I am with my mother, I feel very happy and at ease. This is the strength that a mother brings to her child. I am very grateful to my mother for educating me with a smile, and making me a person who knows how to work hard and strive for progress. Although I have made some mistakes in the process, I have been able to correct them. In the future, I will go further and further on the right path and will definitely not let my mother down."
Mother Guo touched Guo Panfu's face with relief, and then said, "I'm very happy that you think this way. In fact, you don't need to take the company back for me, but I know you are a strong-willed person. Since you want to take it back, then do it. This company should have belonged to you. If you can improve your abilities and become a better person because of this matter, I will be even happier."
"Now that you have been in the company for such a long time, you should know something. Tell me what the current situation of your father's family is?" Guo's mother wanted to know.
"What else can we do? It's definitely a mess. What good child can they raise? He's just an uneducated and unskilled dandy. He thinks he's something great, but in fact, he's completely useless. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because his family has some money, but one day he'll have to pay the price. All of this is caused by his parents, but judging by the trend, they haven't realized the extent of their son's problems yet."
Guo's mother smiled. She knew it would be like this. When she gave birth to a daughter, Guo Lianqi was not happy at all. She always wanted a son. He disdained daughters. It was a typical idea of favoring boys over girls.
So since he finally had a baby son, he would definitely spoil him to the utmost without hesitation.
"As for those two old guys, I think even though they sleep with the same pillow, they might be starting to have second thoughts. Mrs. Guo is so arrogant every day, thinking she's so great, it feels like she's stepping on Guo Lianqi's head. This feeling has been getting stronger recently. I always feel like that woman seems to be making some moves, so I went to check it out in advance, but the results are not out yet."
"You must be careful there. All three of them are your enemies. Even though one of them is your biological father, he has never shown you genuine care and concern since you were a child. I actually think he's not worthy of being a father."
"I definitely know this. I never considered him to be someone on my side. He was able to do such a heartless thing back then. Ever since I learned the truth, I have never considered him my father again."
"Okay, don't think about these unpleasant things anymore. Go to bed quickly. It's already so late. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
Guo Panfu nodded, then crawled into the bed and hugged her mother.
If it weren't for this conversation between the two of them, she wouldn't have noticed that her mother had actually aged.
Before, she always thought that her mother would never grow old, and if she did, she would not age so quickly. But today she discovered that her mother already had white hair.
I have been working hard during this period and have been so busy that I haven't had the chance to chat with my mother or go out and play with her.
She must travel with her mother when she has the chance. This was something she and her mother had agreed on before, and she must not break her promise.
Guo Panfu closed her eyes and wanted to sleep immediately, but suddenly her mother sat up, and for some reason she was startled.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly sit up? Didn't you want to go to sleep?" Guo Panfu asked in confusion.
"No, I just suddenly remembered something. I think it might be very useful to you, so I'll think about it again, some more details."
Guo Panfu also became excited. Could it be that she had some clues about what happened that year?
"Many people who used to work in the company have already left the city. I don't know where the people who didn't leave have gone, but I still remember one person, Liu Haifeng. He had always been loyal to my father. After Guo Lianqi took over the company, Liu Haifeng had always been with Guo Lianqi. When the incident was finally exposed, he was already angry enough. So even though he was very capable at work, he gave up his high salary and left the company."
"Because of this incident, my parents were also deeply traumatized and devastated. They passed away soon after. Liu Haifeng felt that he had truly let them down, so he went to pay his respects to my parents and never showed up again."
"Then how did mother know?" Guo Panfu asked.
"In fact, I ran into him on the street by chance a while ago, but I didn't talk to him because I felt I shouldn't bother him. After all, so much time has passed, he's probably almost forgotten about it. If he saw me again, it would definitely bring back those unpleasant memories. He's an old man now, and I don't want to bother him."
Mother Guo looked at her daughter and said, "If you go find him and explain the situation to him, I think he would be very willing to help you."
