Tu Qingyu looked up and saw that it was indeed the couple.
Through the front window glass, you can see that both of them are not in good condition.
I was still arguing with her at the school gate a few hours ago. What happened in these few hours?
Dabao: "Master, you may not know yet, but before Xu Yanqing came to you, he did something."
Tu Qingyu: "What's the matter?"
Dabao: "He swallowed up two subsidiaries of Gu's."
Tu Qingyu: "So awesome?"
Dabao: “Yes, it’s that awesome!”
Seeing the car stop, the couple hurried over and knocked on the window.
You couldn't hear any of their voices from inside, you could only see them clapping and talking with their mouths opening and closing.
Xu Yanqing took a quick look, then looked at Tu Qingyu. Seeing that there was no abnormality on her face, he said calmly, "Don't pay attention to it, just drive in."
"yes."
Perhaps she noticed their intention, and Gu's mother immediately walked over to block the car with her hands open, looking like a rogue.
The two sides were deadlocked, and Tu Qingyu had no choice but to open the car window.
Father Gu immediately handed in a stack of papers and said, "Son, take a look. We are really your parents."
"Twenty-one years ago, it was the Gu family's nanny who switched you with her own daughter."
"Mom and Dad know we're sorry for you. Please give us a chance to make amends, okay?"
As he said these words, his eyes became red involuntarily.
If I didn't know their personalities, I would really think that he was a father whose daughter was swapped and who wanted her back.
Xu Yanqing held Tu Qingyu's hand and thought to himself that he would support Tu Qingyu no matter what decision she made.
Anyway, with him around, the Gu family wouldn't dare let her down.
If they are really dishonest, find a way to make them honest.
But when he glanced sideways, he found that the little girl was so calm that it was frightening.
She turned her head, smiled at Xu Yanqing, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Seeing her get out of the car, Gu's mother didn't stop the car. She hurried over and reached out to hug her.
When Tu Qingyu moved aside, her face was filled with hurt.
"That's right. It's my fault. I made you suffer so much outside. It's normal for us to be strangers now. It's okay. As long as you go back with me, I will treat you twice as well. Sooner or later, we can be like..." She choked up several times when she said this, "like an ordinary mother and daughter."
"You don't know how much my heart aches when I think of the suffering you've endured outside, ever since I found out the child was taken away by mistake."
"Child... Mom, Mom..."
Tu Qingyu just stood there and watched her performance quietly, then asked calmly: "You want me to go back?"
"Yes, yes, Qingyu, it was a mistake to bring the wrong child into our family. Your misplaced lives will eventually be..."
"What about the girl who has been raised as a homeboy for twenty-one years?"
"Do you mind her?"
She has changed, everything has changed. When she was first taken home, she was still trying to please Miaoran.
Tu Qingyu raised his eyebrows, "Shouldn't I mind?"
Father Gu looked at her and quickly made a decision in his heart, "After all, she has been raised by us for so many years. We have treated her as you over the years and poured all our love into her.
However, you are the most important thing.
Since you mind, Dad will have her sent out of the Gu family tomorrow."
Tu Qingyu: "What are the criteria for sending the Gu family out?"
Father Gu: "Give her a house and some money. She has grown up and it's time for her to be independent."
"I've learned a lot." Tu Qingyu said with a sarcastic smile, "In more than 20 years, this is the first time I've heard that giving someone a house and some money is called self-reliance."
"When I was in the orphanage, I had no food for two days. I was young at that time, and even if I wanted to leave, I didn't have the conditions to support myself."
"Do you know what tree bark tastes like?"
"It's not too bitter actually. If you find the right tree, it will have a slight sweet aftertaste. But there aren't many trees in the orphanage, and there isn't much edible bark either."
"When I was almost starving to death, the aunt in the courtyard would let me wash some things. I was probably eight years old at that time. I could wash five sets of sheets in one afternoon. Five sets of sheets could be exchanged for one steamed bun. In the middle of winter, the steamed buns were cold and hard. One bite could knock out a tooth."
"But when you're starving, who cares about lost teeth?"
"The steamed bun was swallowed along with my first tooth, mixed with blood."
"That night I started having stomachaches, fever all over my body, and a throbbing pain in my heart."
"No one knows how Tu Qingyu survived that winter."
She was not exaggerating at all. These were all things that her original self had experienced as a child.
The welfare home where she originally lived was really not that good. It didn’t get better until she was eleven years old and a new director came.
She was a woman in her thirties who seemed to come from a well-off family, but she chose to be the director of such a shabby welfare home.
She was gentle and resolute, and she helped dozens of pale, thin, and even disabled children in the welfare home grow up safely.
Even Tu Qingyu today is very fond of this woman.
Mrs. Gu was completely stunned.
Even though they dreamed every day, Tu Qingyu didn't dream about his childhood experiences very often.
They think being bullied and isolated is already difficult enough.
Unexpectedly, what was even more difficult was that she was so hungry that she had to chew on tree bark.
She wanted to continue acting, but looking at the girl's indifferent eyes, all the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
Tu Qingyu was surprised that she still had some conscience, but it was too late. She had suffered all the pain she deserved and had also returned her life to them.
She continued, "Even so, she still grew up tenaciously. She worked hard and made progress. Before you showed up, she also imagined herself as a guardian of the law of fairness and justice.
She would work hard, and with luck, her heart condition wouldn't get worse, until she was thirty, when she'd saved enough money for a down payment on a house, maybe find a partner she loved, and maybe get a cat or a dog.
Anyway, no matter what happened to her, it was better than meeting you, being taken back by you, being targeted and ostracized by your family, and finally dying somewhere unknown."
She kept saying "she" from beginning to end, as if she was telling someone else's story.
But the more she acted like this, the more distressed Xu Yanqing felt.
Just now, he almost couldn't control himself in front of others and wanted to go forward and hug the person.
He tried his best to restrain himself, but he held Tu Qingyu's hand more and more tightly.
Tu Qingyu smiled at him and said, "It's okay."
That smile only made him feel more heartbroken.
Tu Qingyu turned around and said to the stunned couple, "You can let me go back, but you can send the girl back to her mother."
