Yu Sheng came to Gu Ye's company to give him earrings. As soon as they met, he criticized her clothes and even brought up Shang Yan, making her completely forget about the earrings. If he hadn't asked, she probably wouldn't have remembered them even after dinner.
When she arrived, she had put the earrings in a transparent bag, took them out of her bag, and handed them to Gu Ye.
Gu Ye took it, stared at it for a moment, and then dialed Duan Huaisheng's number.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
"Hello?"
You can clearly tell from the sound that Duan Huaisheng is sleeping.
Gu didn't waste any words with him and said directly, "Qiao Moya left one of her earrings at my house yesterday."
Duan Huaisheng, still half asleep, mumbled, "What earrings?"
I'll send you the photos.
Gu also forwarded the photo that Yu Sheng had sent him to Duan Huaisheng.
After looking at it, Duan Huaisheng said, "These are the earrings I gave to Mo Ya. How did they end up at your house?"
Gu Ye pretended to be very unhappy: "Then I'll need you to ask Qiao Moya for me?"
Even though Duan Huaisheng was still confused, he could tell that Gu Ye's tone was off, so he opened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Ye said with a serious expression, "This earring was left on the stairs in my house, which means that Qiao Moya may have gone up to the second floor."
Duan Huaisheng said in a nonchalant tone, "So what if you went? What's the big deal? Or did you lose something valuable?"
After Gu Ye dialed Duan Huaisheng's number, Yu Sheng didn't look at him, but she kept her ears perked up and listening.
The restaurant was noisy, and she couldn't hear what Duan Huaisheng was saying on the other end of the phone, but she heard everything Gu Ye said.
Noticing Gu Ye looking at her, she looked at him too. Before she could guess what Duan Huaisheng had just said, his expression darkened, and he spoke in an angry voice:
“Duan Huaisheng, listen to me carefully. When you came yesterday, I told you that the second floor is a private space for my husband and me, and it is not open to the public. Qiao Moya ignored my words and went up there without permission. Does she even know what it means to respect people?”
Upon hearing Gu Ye's words, Duan Huaisheng immediately became furious: "Gu Ye, are you out of your mind? What's on the second floor of your house that you're so afraid of people going up there? So what if Mo Ya did go up?"
Gu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Duan Huaisheng hung up the phone.
Seeing that Gu Ye had put down his phone and looked quite angry, Yu Sheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"Duan Huaisheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Qiao Moya going upstairs. He even said I was crazy. Like attracts like. There's no need to return this earring; just throw it away!"
At this point, the waiter served the food.
After he finished serving the food, Gu Ye tossed the earring onto his food cart, saying, "Please throw it in the trash can."
"Yes, sir."
The waiter respectfully replied and pushed the food cart away.
Gu Ye's anger was obviously feigned, but Yu Sheng didn't know that. She comforted Gu Ye, "Don't be angry. This phone call wasn't meaningless. Regardless of whether Qiao Moya knows that we are sleeping in separate rooms, at least Duan Huaisheng doesn't know yet."
"You're right."
Gu cut his steak into small pieces and swapped them with the ones in front of Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng picked up her fork and had just put a piece of steak in her mouth when Gu Ye said, "This Sunday is Li Siyan's birthday. Out of courtesy, I have to go. Can you come with me?"
Yu Sheng felt a little resistant: "Do I really have to go?"
“We are husband and wife now. It would be inappropriate for me to go to such an occasion by myself. We will just show our faces and leave.”
Yu Sheng reluctantly said, "Okay!"
After dinner, Yu Sheng took Gu Ye back to Libu. Seeing that it was still early, and remembering that the Cancer Hospital was nearby, they went there.
After parking the car, she bought a fruit basket at the entrance and carried it to Wang Cuilan's ward. Qiao Weiyang was watching Wang Cuilan eat.
Wang Cuilan looked even more haggard than when she last came. Her face was ashen, like that of a living dead person, and her eyes were lifeless. But when she saw Yu Sheng, she seemed to come alive again as if she had a final burst of energy before death.
Raising his arm, he called out to Yu Sheng, "Sheng Sheng, I was just talking to your dad about you, and here you are! Isn't that a coincidence?"
When Yu Sheng was ten years old, Yu Jing and Qiao Weiyang divorced.
When they first divorced, she still called Qiao Weiyang "Dad".
But ever since Xiao Cheng's car accident, she has never called him "Dad".
When mentioning him, everyone, just like Yu Jing, calls him by his full name.
Hearing Wang Cuilan say "your dad" made her feel uncomfortable.
She glanced at Qiao Weiyang and noticed that he looked much more haggard than she had seen him a few days ago, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Qiao Weiyang's father died early, and his mother raised him single-handedly. He still has a lot of affection for his mother.
Now that the old lady is on her deathbed, every day she lives brings her one day closer to death. How could he not be distressed? This psychological and mental torment is no less than the torment that the illness inflicts on the patient.
After Yu Sheng arrived, Qiao Weiyang went out and asked her to keep the old lady company.
She didn't stay long because she had to go to Fukukawa.
When she came out of the house, she saw Qiao Weiyang squatting on the ground with tears on his face. When he saw her, he touched his face, stood up, looked at her, and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I have something to do."
Yu Sheng finished speaking in a nonchalant tone, then lifted her foot and brushed past him.
After a few steps, she heard him call out—
“Sheng Sheng…”
Yu Sheng stopped and looked at him.
He said, somewhat emotionally, "Thank you for coming to see my mother."
Yu Sheng paused for a moment and said, "I'm not here to see your mother, I'm here to see my grandmother!"
