Chapter 514 Are you still thinking about Shi Nian?
Early in the morning, Huo Yanmo sat in the car and took Sisi to school.
Sisi looked at the seat to the side and felt a little empty inside.
Normally, unless Shi Nian has something to do, he will definitely take her to school, but now...
Seeing Sisi's disappointed look, Huo Yanmo understood what she was thinking.
But he didn't know what to say, so he just patted Sisi's arm gently to comfort her.
Sisi raised her head and glanced at Huo Yanmo.
“Dad,” Sisi called out.
"Mmm." Huo Yanmo reached out and patted Sisi's head.
He knew that Sisi used to call Shi Nian "Auntie Xiao Nian" and him "Uncle Mo," but after the factory incident, Sisi completely changed her way of addressing him.
Shi Nian had been eagerly anticipating Si Si's change of address, because it would mean that Si Si had completely accepted them.
But the price... is rather high.
Moreover, she hadn't even had a chance to hear Sisi call her "Mom."
"Is Dad free to pick me up this afternoon?" Sisi asked.
Huo Yanmo nodded: "Okay, I will come."
Sisi smiled, nodded, and got out of the car.
Huo Yanmo also got off the bus and, like the other parents, took his child to the classroom.
"Mr. Huo?"
"Is Mr. Huo taking his child to school?"
"I didn't expect President Huo to come and drop off the child in person."
Huo Yanmo nodded in response to each one.
"I hope the children have a good time," Huo Yanmo said. "My daughter Sisi has a special situation and may fall behind a little. I hope everyone will take good care of her."
Everyone in City A knew what Sisi's situation was, so they all nodded and smiled.
He escorted her to the classroom door, watched as Sisi sat down in her seat with her little backpack, then waved and turned to leave.
I'm still a little reluctant to part with it.
Huo Yanmo glanced at it again.
Then he noticed that Sisi was still smiling at him.
He smiled and then turned to leave.
Children should have their own independent lives; we can't let go of them.
...
The day passed by in a flurry of activity.
Huo Yanmo continued to handle company affairs.
Lu Yanzhi's sentence has been handed down; the term is not long, and he is currently on medical parole.
He underwent numerous tests and is preparing for his first surgery tomorrow.
He didn't know how he felt about his legs.
Whenever he thinks of those legs, he thinks of her in the firelight.
Covered in blood, his fate unknown.
It will hurt a lot.
"Brother Yanzhi, the surgery is tomorrow. If the surgery is successful this time, the situation will be better," Lu Xinyi said.
Lu Yanzhi nodded, but continued to stare at a single point on one side, seemingly lost in thought.
"Yanzhi, are you still thinking about Shi Nian?" Lu Xinyi asked as she looked at him.
"Hmm." Lu Yanzhi responded, "I remembered that pair of tanzanite jewelry that I polished before."
Earlier, when he was chasing the car, the box fell out, and the tanzanite inside fell into the river.
"I was wondering why Zhou Zhiyu had been so busy by the river these past few days. Did you send him, Brother Yanzhi?" Lu Xinyi continued to ask.
Lu Yanzhi nodded.
Just then—"Knock knock knock".
Someone knocked on the door.
Then Zhou Zhiyu pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Lu, we found it." Zhou Zhiyu was very excited. He placed the box in front of Lu Yanzhi's bed.
He hired countless skilled people and went to great lengths to salvage it.
Although the chances were slim, we were still lucky enough to find them all.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the box in front of him, reached out his hand, but dared not open it.
Lu Xinyi and Zhou Zhiyu exchanged a glance, then quietly left, closing the door behind them.
I don't know how much time has passed.
In the end, Lu Yanzhi reached out and opened the box.
The set of jewelry he personally crafted from tanzanite was neatly displayed here.
The scene seemed to reappear before his eyes: the first time he and she passed by the shop and saw this tanzanite.
She said she hopes her child will have eternal love and that he/she will know that his/her parents will always love him/her.
He also saw, at the charity auction gala, him and her, wearing a mask, bidding again and again, and the deep blackness in her eyes.
And then...
Tears fell drop by drop.
He gripped the set of jewelry tightly, seemingly unable to control himself any longer.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Lu Yanzhi finally managed to control his emotions.
Lu Xinyi and Zhou Zhiyu also came back in.
"I'm going to see Sisi," Lu Yanzhi said.
Lu Xinyi and Zhou Zhiyu exchanged a glance.
"Sisi is in school now," Lu Xinyi said last.
“I know,” Lu Yanzhi said. “I need to see her and give her this…”
Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and put the jewelry into the box.
“Give it to her,” he said.
"Brother, what's wrong...?" Lu Xinyi didn't understand at first.
But Zhou Zhiyu gave her a look.
Lu Xinyi remained silent.
"Let me fulfill this wish before my surgery tomorrow," Lu Yanzhi said. "That way, even if the surgery fails..."
"It won't fail, pshaw!" Lu Xinyi immediately interrupted.
Zhou Zhiyu immediately made the arrangements.
The car sped along and soon arrived at Sisi's elementary school.
It's already afternoon, but school hasn't let out yet.
Sisi's class is a craft class.
She and her friends cut paper together.
The teacher has gone to prepare for dismissal, so only the children are here.
"Hey, Sisi," a boy suddenly called out.
Sisi looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Is something the matter?"
"I heard from my mom that your mom is dying, is that right?" the boy continued to ask.
Sisi instantly felt sad, and she clenched her two small fists together.
“My mom is just injured, she’s not dead,” Sisi said immediately.
"Really?" Another mischievous boy came over and said, "But why did I hear that your dad has no other choice but to pray to Buddha?"
"Yes, it's been so many days, everyone's saying your mother won't make it."
Sisi's eyes reddened.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Sisi shouted, "My mom is fine! My mom is just injured!"
Everyone shook their heads, and then someone said, "By the way, you're not your parents' biological daughter, are you?"
“I saw it on the live stream. When you were being kidnapped, Shi Nian said that it was all just a persona, and she didn’t actually care about you at all.”
Sisi was on the verge of tears.
She was already worried about Shi Nian, and now she was being told this.
"That's not how it is!" Sisi shouted. "My mom was just trying to save me from being captured by bad guys!"
"Really? But you're not her biological daughter after all. My parents said that if she and Huo Yanmo have another child, you'll be an outsider."
“We’re not outsiders!” Sisi cried.
She cried and said, "My mom is so good to me. She said I'm her daughter! She said she'll never give up on me!"
