He is really obsessed with money.
Su Huixian sat back in her seat, a look of obvious sarcasm on her lips, and said sharply, "All of you have avoided talking to me for the past year. You don't care where I went, nor do you care about Yu Fei's situation. Every time we meet, is there anything else you can talk about besides money?"
Zhang Fengying sat across from Su Huixian and fought back without a hint of weakness, "What about you? When you abandoned Chu Mi and walked away, how long had it been since you asked about your daughter's situation?"
Su Huixian was struck by these words. She realized that since she came back, she had not seen her daughter or Sun Linghua. Her face showed an unprecedented anxiety.
"Where is Mi'er? Where did you take my daughter? You are her biological grandparents!" Su Huixian's voice was full of shock and anxiety.
Chu Xinggui spoke indifferently, his tone flat and ruthless: "Sent her to an orphanage."
"What did you say?!" Su Huixian asked in disbelief. She felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by something.
"Your husband went to jail for a crime, and you abandoned your daughter and walked away. With a family like this and a child like this, isn't she an orphan? Where else can she go except to an orphanage? We are both old and don't have the ability to raise a baby."
Chu Xinggui's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Su Huixian's heart.
She stood up angrily, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. She couldn't break down here, she had to go find her daughter, her Mi'er.
"Tell me quickly, which orphanage is this?"
Chu Xinggui is still hesitating!
"That's a..."
"I tell you, if you want to find it, go find it quickly." Zhang Fengying interrupted her husband and told Su Huixian the address.
She rushed out of the room and ran all the way to the door, forgetting even to take her coat. The wind outside was very cold, but she had only one thought in her mind: to find Mi'er. She hailed a taxi and told the driver the location of the orphanage.
On the way to the orphanage, her heart was extremely heavy and her thoughts were in a mess.
She thought of her daughter's birth, so tiny and soft, as if the whole world was in her hands. She remembered that when she left, Mi'er was just a babbling baby, and she didn't get to hear her call "Mom," nor was she able to grow up with her. Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they streamed down her cheeks.
Finally, the taxi stopped at the orphanage's entrance. Su Huixian jumped out and hurried to the door. She couldn't wait to see her daughter, but her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She didn't know how Mi'er had been doing over the past year, whether she was being well taken care of, or whether anyone had bullied her.
My daughter is not yet 2 years old. Her 2nd birthday will be next spring.
Su Huixian couldn't even imagine such a young child being thrown into an orphanage.
She rushed to the office and asked about the situation, "Chu Mi, I'm here to find Chu Mi, I'm here to find my daughter..."
The staff was surprised. "Are you Chu Mi's mother? When the child was sent to us, they said the father was in prison and the mother had died. We took him in because he was so small and dark..."
Su Huixian nodded, her voice choked with sobs: "I did encounter some difficulties at the time, and I temporarily left Jincheng. I didn't expect the child to be sent here. Can I see her?"
The staff member sighed, a hint of sympathy in his tone: "Of course, but the child's situation is a bit special. If conditions permit, I suggest you take her to see a doctor as soon as possible."
Su Huixian's heart tightened, and she asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What's wrong with my daughter?"
The staff member sighed and pointed to his head, "Let me take you to see the child first. You will understand when you see him."
They came to a room full of children their own age, some of whom were living there because their parents had died.
In a crib, Su Huixian saw Chu Mi, who was less than two years old. She sat there with a dull look in her eyes and drool hanging from the corners of her mouth. She was obviously different from the other children.
The staff member pointed at Chu Mi and said, "This is Chu Mi. She's quite special. If you were her mother, you would be able to tell at a glance."
Su Huixian's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something. She took a few steps closer and called out softly, "Mi'er...Mi'er..."
However, the child did not react at all, but just stared at the little duck in his hand and smiled foolishly.
The staff member in charge of caring for these children said impatiently, "Don't yell, she might not understand. This child is a little special. She was already silly and naive when she was brought here. It's really hard for the two of us to take care of ten babies and young children. I hope you can understand."
Tears welled up in Su Huixian's eyes. She picked up the child, her heart filled with endless heartache and guilt: "Mi'er, it's mom. Mom is here to see you. Mom will take you home now, okay?"
The staff member who had brought Su Huixian here earlier reminded her, "Madam, there are some procedures to go through to pick up the child, so please follow them."
Su Huixian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I know, but I have to take the child to see a doctor first. You don't want her to continue like this, do you?"
The staff didn't answer, but Su Huixian already understood what they meant. She hugged the silly Chu Mi and hurriedly left the orphanage and went straight to the hospital.
After a specialist diagnosis, Chu Mi was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The specialist told her that with prompt rehabilitation, the chance of recovery could reach 60%-70%, but it would be a long process requiring patience and perseverance. The child would require multifaceted treatment, including language training, intellectual development, and psychological and behavioral interventions, and would require long-term companionship and care.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Su Huixian. She couldn't accept that her smart and clever daughter had become like this. She recalled Chu Mi's extraordinary performance when she was just born, and her heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
Su Huixian decided to do her best to treat Chu Mi no matter what.
She knew it would be a long and difficult road, but she was willing to give it all for her daughter.
All these changes were caused by Song Yaqing.
Song Yaqing didn't think about going back, hoping that one day she would meet Su Huixian again.
Su Huixian held the child, her face covered with tears.
Song Yaqing had just returned from the hospital and was a little surprised to see someone standing at her door. Thinking back to the past, she really didn't want to bother with him.
However, Song Yaqing was stopped, “Song Yaqing, my daughter is a fool, are you satisfied?”
