After thinking for a long time, Yun Duo couldn't help but murmur softly, "I really hope they don't show up, don't disturb us..."
However? Is that even possible?
When Gu Shaoyong received the call from both Gu Ying and Zhou Keming, he was overjoyed, and tears welled up in his eyes without him even realizing it.
It was truly unexpected that he was merely following the king's orders, sending his trading company manager to Xichuan to encourage local farmers to participate in silkworm breeding, establish a raw silk purchasing point, and prepare for the silk factory in advance. The only selfish aspect was that he chose the county town where he had once served as county magistrate, a place that held both his happiest and most painful memories, and also a place that filled him with a sense of guilt.
He never expected that, simply because of his own selfishness and guilt, he would actually find his biological daughter.
At the same time, he also regretted that he should have been more cautious, and that he should have trusted his beloved wife's intuition instead of simply thinking that she was just hallucinating because she was too sad.
Perhaps, he and his wife wouldn't have had to endure all those years of pain and despair, nor the tragedy of being separated from their child.
Fortunately—because of his small selfish desire, because of his small sense of guilt, he found his daughter.
Listening to Kemin's description, his daughter was so smart, smarter than her father and mother combined. How wonderful! He had originally thought that he would be alone with his daughter for the rest of his life.
A tremendous wave of joy washed over him, one after another. He was as happy as a child, and with the brightest, most genuine smile, he ran into the private sanatorium where his wife was recuperating. He burst through the door, made the nurse who was constantly watching over his wife leave, and then carried his wife around in the room several times before carefully putting her down. Holding her hand, he said with deep affection and joy, "Huiyu, I have some good news to tell you."
"Kemin and Ying, we've found our daughter, it's our daughter, she..."
"Smack!"
Before Gu Shaoyong could finish speaking, a resounding slap echoed in the room. The slap was so loud that it was clear to everyone that the person who delivered it had used all their strength.
After that loud and crisp slap, a sobbing sound came from inside the room. The sobbing grew louder and louder, more and more unrestrained, as if it were trying to pour out all the sorrow in its heart.
Gu Shaoyong's face was marked with four finger marks from Zhou Huiyu's slap, but he felt no pain whatsoever. Hearing his beloved wife's hysterical cries, his eyes involuntarily reddened, and he murmured to himself, "Huiyu, I'm sorry, I was wrong, it was all my fault. I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to our daughter..."
Zhou Huiyu covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.
Eight years. A full eight years.
It had been so long, so long that she herself began to believe that she was sick, hallucinating, or suffering from hysteria, just as Shao Yong and the doctors had said... so long that... she was almost ready to give up hope and give up on her life.
Her husband,
Her daughter's father brought news that their child was still alive.
Her daughter...her daughter...
