Chapter 205 My Little Friend Suffered
As he spoke, he picked her up and walked towards the door, heading to his mother's room.
Dan Anwen, holding Gu Ji in her arms, found it inconvenient to knock on the door, so she could only coax softly, "Little one, would you like to knock on the door?"
This moment is like coaxing a three-year-old child, with a mixture of pampering and guidance.
Gu Ji nestled in Dan Anwen's arms, staring blankly at him, clearly not understanding his meaning. Helpless, Dan Anwen could only kick the door with his foot.
When Dan's mother opened the door, she saw Dan Anwen with a slightly furious expression holding Gu Ji, who looked disheveled.
"Did you bully Zhao Zhao?" Dan's mother's first reaction was to look at Dan Anwen and glare at him.
Seeing that Gu Ji in his arms did not react, Dan An could only shake his head at his mother, "She wants to find her mother. Please calm her down first, and I will explain the rest to you."
Seeing Dan Anwen's solemn expression, Dan's mother realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately stepped aside to let the two into the room.
Seeing Gu Ji sitting motionless on the bed, Dan's mother pulled Dan Anwen's clothes and went out.
"What's wrong? Why does Zhao Zhao look so lost?" Mother Dan deliberately lowered her voice, her worried eyes constantly glancing into the room to observe Gu Ji's condition.
Dan Anwen pursed his thin lips slightly, "Gu Bao's mother has passed away."
Upon hearing this, Dan's mother's pupils dilated. She knew who Gu Bao was and what kind of person Gu's mother was.
She had heard from Dan Anwen about how Gu Ji was almost sold, but since Gu Ji didn't want to talk about it, no one in the Dan family mentioned it.
"I understand, you can go now." Mother Dan sighed softly, her eyes showing heartache.
Dan Anwen pursed his thin lips, his voice filled with gratitude, "Then I'll leave the child with you. I'll wait at the door."
Dan's mother didn't say much, and closed the door, cutting off Dan Anwen's view.
Dan Anwen stared at the door for a few moments, then leaned against the wall, waiting for news from his mother.
"Does my little Zhao Zhao miss her mother?" Dan's mother sat down next to Gu Ji and hugged her like she was holding a child.
Gu Ji's nose tingled, her eyes welled up with tears, and she pouted pitifully, "Yes, Zhao Zhao wants her mother..."
"Mommy's here, Mommy's here." Mother Dan gently rocked Gu Ji, who was looking for maternal love, in her arms, trying to give Gu Ji warmth in the manner of coaxing a child.
Gu Ji could no longer hold back his emotions and buried his head deeply in his mother's arms, as if searching for the warmth he felt in his mother's embrace when he was a child.
Dan's mother didn't mention Gu's mother's matter, but instead chatted softly with Gu Ji, "My little Zhao Zhao is so amazing, she's all grown up now and has found her own happiness..."
The mother kept trying to find some heartwarming topics, and although Gu Ji didn't respond, he quietly nestled in her arms.
"Mom..." Gu Ji spoke again, his muffled voice heartbreaking.
It's like a lost child searching for the right direction, looking back at the warmth she felt in her mother's arms when she was a child.
Dan's mother possesses a maternal love that Dan Anwen could never have. A mother is an irreplaceable role, and the gentleness in Dan's mother is the image of Gu Ji's mother in his memory.
Although this gentleness only existed in my childhood.
"I'm here." Mother Dan gently rocked Gu Ji, coaxing her with a tender voice.
Gu Ji raised his eyes, his vision blurred by tears, and his mother's face was not clear, but the feeling emanating from her made Gu Ji feel at ease.
"I want to hear you sing a lullaby." Gu Ji had heard her mother sing a lullaby to her when she was very young.
However, the lullabies in my memory gradually faded away. The next time I heard a lullaby was when Gu's mother sang it to Gu Bao. It was a lullaby that belonged to Gu Bao.
Danmu paused, her eyes slightly moist, and looked down at Gu Ji, who was being incredibly well-behaved in her arms, feeling a surge of tenderness in her heart.
"Okay, Mommy will sing a lullaby for little Zhao Zhao. Little Zhao Zhao, lie down and Mommy will sing for you."
Danmu pulled the blanket over Gu Ji and helped him lie down on the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing Gu Ji's head and gazing at him tenderly.
A lullaby filled with warmth and maternal love plays, "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby, Mommy's hands gently rock you, sleep..."
Gu Ji stared intently at Dan's mother's face, her eyes slightly red and misty with tears. Dan's mother radiated a maternal glow that made Gu Ji linger, reluctant to close her eyes, as if afraid that she would disappear if she did.
Just like how her mother's love for her quietly disappeared during her childhood.
Seeing Gu Ji's worry, Dan's mother lowered her head slightly and said in an incredibly gentle tone, "Don't worry, little Zhao Zhao, Mommy won't disappear. I'll always be with you. You should go to sleep quietly."
Gu Ji's fingers gripped Dan Mu's clothes tightly, his eyes like fragile glass, making one's heart ache.
Hearing her mother's assurance, she didn't let go, but obediently closed her eyes. Seeing this, her mother didn't stop gently rubbing her head and singing a lullaby.
Only when Gu Ji's breathing gradually calmed down did Dan's mother stop singing, pull the thin blanket up for her, and say, "Sleep well, little Zhao Zhao, and be safe and sound."
Gu Ji was unusually peaceful in his sleep, not dreaming, and the fingers that were clutching the hem of Danmu's clothes gradually relaxed.
After Dan's mother had completely fallen asleep, she quietly left the bedroom and immediately saw the silent figure by the door.
When Dan An heard his mother come out, he glanced at the bedroom, but his view was blocked by his mother's figure.
Before he could even ask, Dan's mother whispered, "Zhao Zhao is asleep."
Dan Anwen pursed his thin lips slightly, his usual composed demeanor vanishing, replaced by worry about Gu Ji.
"Mom, thank you." Dan Anwen lowered her eyes slightly.
Dan's mother patted his shoulder, "No need to thank me. Besides, Zhao Zhao is also part of our family. She's my daughter-in-law, so naturally she's my daughter too."
"Hmm." Dan Anwen still wanted to take a look at the bedroom, her eyes constantly glancing inside.
Seeing this, Dan's mother stepped aside and said, "Come in, be gentle."
After Dan Anwen entered the bedroom, Dan's mother closed the door and left, leaving the couple alone.
Looking at the little girl's soft, sleeping face, Dan Anwen felt a slight relaxation of her tension and sat down beside her, watching her quietly.
"My little one has suffered." Dan Anwen leaned down and kissed her forehead.
When Gu Ji woke up, it was already evening. Opening his dry eyes, he immediately saw Dan Anwen by the bedside with his eyes closed.
The man kept a close eye on the girl's every move. He opened his eyes when he heard a rustling sound and met her gaze.
"Little one, you're awake. Do you want some water or food?" Dan Anwen asked, bending down.
She slept all afternoon, so she should be hungry by now.
Gu Ji looked blank, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, shook his head, like a dazed doll.
