Chapter 16 Ye Nuan's Thoughts
"How can you live in the dormitory? If you don't want to live in your brother's house nearby, I'll buy you a house and put it in your name, okay?"
Somehow, when facing his daughter, with whom he had just confirmed his blood relationship, Gu Lizhou would unconsciously lower his tone.
"No, no, I just came to S City to study for two years, and I often have to be on duty, so it's more convenient to live in the hospital dormitory." When Ye Nuan said this, the three people present were stunned.
Ye Nuan: Tsk tsk, what’s going on?
No matter what, you shouldn't have said you'd be staying for two years. We don't know how much we'll interact in the future. Having just found your biological parents, shouldn't you have that attitude? Wouldn't it be better to just say the dormitory is convenient?
Gu Mocheng and Gu's father: Uh, what's going on? Is she not going to recognize the Gu family? No, no, no, it must take time to accept this fact.
Father Gu: "Okay, if you want to live in the dormitory first, then you can live there first. When grandpa knows about this, dad will definitely come to pick you up and take you home."
Ye Nuan thought to herself: Go home? Is it okay not to go back to this home? This isn't directed at anyone in the Gu family, it's just that I might not be used to it.
Just like that, Father Gu asked Ye Nuan some more about her experiences since childhood, but Ye Nuan always answered evasively. Father Gu and Gu Mocheng saw that Ye Nuan didn't really want to respond, so they let Ye Nuan go back to the hospital to rest.
During this time, Gu's father handed Ye Nuan a card, but Ye Nuan said she didn't want it, put the card down and said, "I'm going back first." Then she opened the door of the box and ran out.
Lu Ming saw Ye Nuan rushing downstairs, but before he could react, she had already disappeared from the main entrance. He then looked at the father and son coming out of the private room and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing. She may need some time to digest this matter. I gave her a card just now, but she didn't want it. She just threw it down and ran away." Father Gu sighed.
He knew that he and Gu Mocheng had been a bit hasty in this matter, especially in the way Ye Nuan returned to Gu's house, but they were also in a dilemma.
If I tell my family directly, the Gu family will definitely be in chaos. There are four old people, including Old Man Gu, Old Lady Gu, and Mrs. Gu Xia Nuo's parents. Once they start making trouble, it will not stop for a while.
At that time, they will have to take care of the old man's emotions, worry about whether Ye Nuan will accept it, and what will happen between the family and Xixi?
If all these things were piled up together, they would be unable to cope. So they had to deal with them one by one, trying not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Ye Nuan took the subway alone again. Somehow, she didn't want to face this matter.
The Gu family was a wealthy and powerful family that many people envied, with abundant financial resources and top-tier status. Countless people wanted to establish connections with the Gu family, but she was actually the biological daughter of the Gu family?
And the way she knew the truth was not like what was shown on TV. She cried a lot, but her heart had not fluctuated much from yesterday to now. Ye Nuan didn't know what was wrong with her.
After returning to the hospital, since Lu Ming had asked for an afternoon off for her, she went straight back to the dormitory, lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and thought blankly:
She can only remember things after she was 5 years old, but the director of the orphanage said that she has always been a leisurely person and has loved to be alone and daydream since she was a child.
But she is very sensible. Whether it is the staff of the orphanage or the volunteers who go there to do charity work, they all praise her: "This little girl is really sensible."
Maybe before the age of five, Ye Nuan would smile and be happy when receiving other people’s compliments, but after she turned five, when she heard it again, she began to have other thoughts in her heart: Besides being sensible, what else can I do?
Helping others wash dishes is sensible, picking up the broom to sweep the floor is sensible, and all the praise comes from people who have nothing to do with her. No matter how sensible she is, in that poor county, no one will adopt her. In order to feel more present in the orphanage, she can only be sensible in every way.
There is no kindergarten, so I can only play games with other children in the orphanage.
After attending elementary school, Ye Nuan also went to work. Generally, when they are 7 or 8 years old, the chances of being adopted are very slim. They must make some preparations for their adulthood. This awareness is instilled in every child in the orphanage.
After all, the rule was that children could leave the orphanage after turning 16. The so-called "working" was nothing more than picking up scrap to sell, and occasionally washing dishes in a kind-hearted shop to earn money.
It is okay to study while working in elementary and junior high school, but in high school, you have to focus on studying.
It happened that when Ye Nuan was in her second year of high school, the number of children in the orphanage had put a lot of pressure on the director and other staff members. Ye Nuan and several other children of similar age took the initiative to leave, saying that they could already support themselves.
Even though the dean was extremely reluctant, he had to bow to reality in the face of the current situation.
During the winter and summer vacations in high school, when others were lying at home relaxing comfortably or taking expensive tutoring classes to improve themselves, Ye Nuan braved the scorching sun, wearing a doll costume to distribute flyers, and braved the heavy snow to help the supermarket owner count goods in the warehouse.
With the help of the orphanage director, Ye Nuan applied for free accommodation from the school during her second and third year of high school, which at least gave her a place to stay.
Through hard work, Ye Nuan was finally admitted to her ideal school, but the era she lived in was developing too fast. She had to rely on software such as WeChat to get any information, and had to use a computer to complete any homework.
You can go to the electronic reading room with a computer, but everyone must have a mobile phone.
Although Ye Nuan has student loans and scholarships, this is the total amount of her tuition, accommodation and living expenses, and she cannot spend this money indiscriminately.
Therefore, she had to find a part-time job. She had tried working as an administrative assistant in the school supermarket and library, as a food deliveryman, etc.
With her part-time salary, Ye Nuan finally bought the cheapest smartphone, which she has been using ever since.
Those scenes flashed through Ye Nuan's mind. She often wished that someone would come and share her burdens, but for so many years, she had come this far alone.
Her student loan was almost paid off, and she had a stable job with a decent income, but then she was told that her biological father had found her and wanted her to return home.
Ye Nuan felt that she no longer needed a home.
