“Later, some things happened, and Old Wang recognized you, so he entrusted you to my care. Old Wang and I have both been busy lately, so I asked Dongxue to take care of you here. After your father arrives tomorrow, I'm sure he will be able to take care of you,” Gu Xin said.
"Old Wang? Does Miss Gu mean the small town?" Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Shu, I'm just used to calling you that." Gu Xin smiled.
“It’s alright, Miss Gu. I’m happy for Xiaocheng that he has such a good friend like you. By the way, Miss Gu, if this were ten years from now, Xiaocheng should be married and have children by now, right?” Shu Yan smiled and gently shook her head before asking.
"Yes, he'll come to see you when he's done with his work." Gu Xin nodded.
“That’s good. Miss Gu, since you and Xiaocheng are friends, do you know about my family? Has Xiaocheng told you about my parents? I haven’t been home for ten years, are they worried sick?” Shu Yan asked.
“They must have been frantic. But your home is too far away, and no one expected you to be taken to Tongzhou. They couldn’t find you, and your mother missed you so much that she fell seriously ill and passed away. But your father is still looking for you.” Gu Xin said calmly, keeping a close eye on Shu Yan’s expression. If anything seemed off, she would stop immediately.
She planned to explain it slowly, bit by bit.
She won't reveal Zhang Liushi and Zhang Huzi's identities for now. Even when Shu Yan's father arrives, he certainly won't immediately know that his daughter was rescued by this mother and son. The father and daughter will be fine when they meet.
She planned to have Wang Pangzi tell Zhang Liushi and Zhang Huzi about their identities, so that they could grieve enough at once and both sides would feel better.
If she were to speak now, Shu Yan would be in pain for a while, and then she would be in pain again when she saw Fatty Wang. It would be better to let Fatty Wang tell them that they are very close relatives, and she believes that they will not have any rifts because of this.
From an outsider's perspective, Gu Xin's opinion is not so bad.
However, Shu Yan's mother has already passed away. This can be told to Shu Yan in advance so that she can be mentally prepared and will not be suddenly shocked when she sees her father.
"Miss Gu, what did you say?" Shu Yan asked blankly.
Gu Xin didn't speak, but quietly looked at her.
"Miss Gu, is everything you said true?" After a while, Shu Yan asked again.
"Yes, really." Gu Xin nodded.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, your food is ready." The waiter's voice rang out from outside.
"Coming!" Dongxue snapped out of her daze and went to open the door.
Dongxue hadn't expected Shuyan's identity to be so complicated; she was actually the niece of Madam Wang's maternal family. This was truly...
She didn't know what to say.
Dongxue opened the door to let the waiter in, placed the food on the table, and then sent the waiter out.
“Miss Shu, please eat something to fill your stomach first. Perhaps Master Shu will arrive tonight. If you eat something and have the strength, I can bring him to see you when he arrives. If you are not feeling well, I may have to bring him tomorrow,” Gu Xin said.
"Okay," Shu Yan said weakly.
Gu Xin then asked Dongxue to come over and help Shu Yan to the table to eat.
Shu Yan only bumped her head and hadn't eaten anything all day; the rest of her body was fine.
