Chapter 1044: The original wife died of frustration (XI)
"daughter?"
Gu Qingcheng's reserved, noble, indifferent, and perfect mask of a noble lady suddenly cracked, revealing an expression of confusion, hesitation, and horror.
She looked a bit like a ghost.
It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Whose 17-year-old girl woke up and found that she had a "daughter" who was a few months older than herself? This was no longer a surprise, but a shock.
You are still a baby, but you have to be "responsible" for another baby who is older than you.
Gu Qingcheng said that she didn't want to be responsible and couldn't bear such a big responsibility.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's face full of rejection and fear, as if saying "I'm not, I didn't, it has nothing to do with me", Gu Guohua and Su Ranran both had a headache.
Alas, troubles really come one after another.
The relationship between my daughter and my granddaughter is the most serious and troublesome of all the problems.
Until now, the old couple has not forgotten the scene when the two seventeen-year-old "girls" met on the day their daughter woke up.
It was like thunder and lightning hitting the earth. Oh, no, it was like Mars hitting the Earth.
That day, when "Gu Qing" woke up, all his relatives and friends came one after another.
Wu Nianqing, who is currently in high school, is no exception.
After school, I was picked up by the family driver and taken all the way to this high-end sanatorium located on the outskirts of the city.
Wu Nianqing, who was about to turn eighteen and enter the third year of high school, felt completely unreal.
My mom is awake?
The biological mother who had been lying in bed for seventeen years? Wu Nianqing was both familiar and unfamiliar with her biological mother.
When her biological mother had the accident, she was only five or six months old and has no memory of anything.
Wu Nianqing grew up being taken care of by nannies, grandparents, aunts, grandparents and uncles.
When I was a child, they were my relatives; when I grew up, I started to have various tutors.
In her world, her biological mother is just a "doll" who lies there unable to move, open her eyes, or speak.
Especially this doll is not good-looking.
Yes, people who have been in a coma for years, no matter how well they are taken care of, will be as thin as skin and bones, and there will be a strange smell emanating from their bodies.
Especially for children, from their perspective, the woman lying on the hospital bed was really not pretty or kind.
They have been afraid and repulsed of each other since childhood and have never had the experience of living together, so there is no question of any feelings.
Gradually, mother became a symbol.
Wu Nianqing knew that she had a mother, but this mother could not bathe her, feed her, tell her stories, or play games with her.
From kindergarten to high school, mothers are not allowed to participate in any parent-child activities held by the school.
...If she was forced to have feelings for such a being, she really couldn't do it.
Compared with her vegetative mother, Wu Nianqing is more dependent on the aunt and tutor at home.
Among Wu Nianqing's many tutors, the one who appealed to her the most was Jian Xin'ai, a female teacher nicknamed Qiuqiu.
When Jian Xin'ai first came to the Wu family, she was a sophomore, and Wu Nianqing was a fifteen-year-old third-year junior high school student.
The two are less than five years apart in age. Although there is a slight generation gap, coincidentally, they are fans of several common idols.
As star-chasing girls, they have a lot in common.
Moreover, Jian Xin'ai is really an excellent tutor. With her help, Wu Nianqing, who had mediocre grades in junior high school, performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the third-ranked high school in the provincial capital.
According to the college entrance examination admission rate of this high school, as long as there are no major problems, Wu Nianqing will have one foot into college.
If you continue to work hard, getting into a second-tier or first-tier university is not a dream.
Therefore, Jian Xin'ai is definitely a good teacher and friend to Wu Nianqing.
As time went by, Jian Xin'ai and Wu Siqian developed an ambiguous relationship, and the clever Wu Nianqing was the first to discover it.
She became the matchmaker between her biological father and "Sister Qiuqiu".
It was no longer a divine assist, but an extremely proactive approach to locking down the two players.
As for the biological mother lying in the nursing home, Wu Nianqing had long forgotten about her.
"...You can't blame me. She and I are really not familiar with each other!"
After receiving a call from his father, Wu Nianqing's mind was in a mess on the way to the nursing home.
She thought of many things, including her biological father and step-sister.
It was not until she heard her biological mother had woken up that Wu Nianqing suddenly thought of an embarrassing question -
The biological mother who has been in a coma should, perhaps, not know that she has been divorced.
Her husband has become someone else's legal spouse.
Wu Nianqing, the biological daughter, is the matchmaker who is extremely supportive and tries her best to bring her father together.
Although Wu Nianqing didn't think he had done anything wrong, "she" had been in a coma for more than ten years, and her father had been guarding her for more than ten years, which was enough.
As long as “she” doesn’t wake up, will dad be unable to find his own happiness?
As far as she can remember, there has been no "mother" in her world. Wu Nianqing really does not have the anxiety and rejection that children whose parents are divorced have.
Compared to her biological mother, with whom she had never lived, Wu Nianqing felt more sorry for her father.
"Fifteen years is enough!"
"Dad should go find his happiness."
"My stepmother is very nice. Although she is 20 years older than my father, they truly love each other."
"After Dad started dating my stepmother, he became younger and more energetic."
Unlike before, there is a kind of depression lingering around my father, which cannot be dissolved or dissipated, as if he is a body without a soul.
Although he would smile, his smile was always filled with depression, which made people feel sad and pitiful.
How wonderful it is now. Dad will laugh happily and take her and her stepmother to the amusement park.
Wu Nianqing finally understood what a "family of three" meant.
...She is right!
But, but my mother is not wrong.
She didn't want to become a vegetable, nor was it her own fault.
I just took a nap, woke up again, and then—
Wu Nianqing inexplicably had a feeling that she was like a child who was accidentally lost and adopted.
She has no feelings for her biological mother and is only close to and likes her adoptive mother.
But she also felt pity for the mother who lost her child, after all, the mother did not abandon her child on purpose.
In the whole incident, the biological mother, her, and everyone else were not wrong.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Everything is just a trick of fate! Wu Nianqing's mood is contradictory and complicated.
So, when she saw "Gu Qing" for the first time, she had no idea how to react.
Jump up and call her mom? She couldn't do it.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never called anyone "mom".
Even her favorite sister Qiuqiu, after she got married to her biological father, she just called her "stepmother sister" as a joke.
Just stand there and watch?
Doesn’t it seem appropriate?
After all, that woman is my biological mother.
If I act too indifferent, people will call me an unfilial daughter.
Wu Nianqing was so distressed that he wished he could die on the spot, and Gu Qingcheng also looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"I'm not! I'm not! I've only been a 15-year-old for less than two years, and I haven't even gotten married yet."
In ancient times, girls would reach the age of 15 and could start talking about marriage after that.
But it doesn't mean that a girl can really get married at the age of fifteen.
Especially in wealthy and aristocratic families, families value their daughters and will never let them marry off early.
People can talk about marriage at the age of fifteen, but the marriage needs to go through the process of three matchmakers and six betrothals.
Aristocratic families attach great importance to etiquette, and etiquette in ancient times was very complicated.
The entire process will take at least one or two years.
By the time they officially get married, they are generally 17 or 18 years old.
Just like the identity created by Gu Qingcheng—a daughter of the famous Gu family, who was promised to the son of the Wang family of Langya after she came of age.
The engagement was completed, but the wedding ceremony was not held immediately.
Women can even travel with their parents and relatives.
After having enough fun, we will return to the capital and discuss matters such as the wedding ceremony.
Neither the man nor the entire aristocratic family circle thought there was anything wrong with this.
So, from Gu Qingcheng's perspective, she is just an unmarried girl.
She became a mother before getting married, and her daughter is older than herself——
What kind of horror story is this? The little noble girl of the Gu family, who was born into a noble family and was loved since childhood, said she couldn't accept it!
Even if Gu Qingcheng still remembered her identity in real life, according to her memory, she was just a pretty girl who had just finished the college entrance examination.
How could they get married and have children without even having a romantic relationship? Gu Qingcheng's reaction was even bigger and more intense than Wu Nianqing's! Wu Nianqing: ...
It is one thing that I have no feelings for my biological mother, but it is another thing for her to react as if she has seen a ghost when she sees me.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I understand! Double standards! I may not love you, but as a mother, how can you not love your own child?
Even if there is no emotion, there is still the instinct as a mother, as well as the moral constraints and requirements.
For example, someone like Su Ranran, who was a veteran, was somewhat dissatisfied and tried to reprimand Gu Qingcheng.
"Qingqing, how can you say that?"
"Yes! I know that you have been in a coma for seventeen years and your memory has stopped at the age of nineteen, but the fact is: Nianqing is your daughter, your own flesh and blood that you carried for ten months and gave birth to with great effort!"
As a mother, how can you not love your daughter?
Gu Qingcheng still looked resistant.
However, Su Ranran's words were still heard by Gu Qingcheng.
There was a gleam in her eyes, "My daughter? I gave birth to her?"
In ancient times, mothers were grateful for giving birth to children.
Unlike in modern times, many people have begun to try to break the so-called concept of gratitude.
Parents give birth to children because they want to, not because the children beg to be born.
It is an instinct and a responsibility for parents to love their children.
As for children, they don’t have to bear the shackles of gratitude from a young age.
Children and parents are independent individuals and people with equal human rights, not their parents' possessions or private property.
But in ancient times, parents could decide everything about their children, including life and death.
Even if you give birth to your children but don't raise them, even if you hurt them in every way, children should not be disrespectful or unfilial to their parents.
...Therefore, regardless of whether "Gu Qing" raised and took care of Wu Nianqing, Wu Nianqing must be filial to "Gu Qing".
Wu Nianqing: ...Why? Su Ranran: ...I, that's not what I meant!
She's already a mother, how can she still be so ignorant?
