Chapter 949: Chapter 946: The "Great Uncle" Arrives

"Ningning." Aunt Gu couldn’t bear it, yet had to, "A Sheng is here, I need to take Jiujiu away."

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, her smile suddenly vanished.

"Aiya." Hearing this, Jiujiu hurriedly held Gu Xiaoning tightly, "No, no..."

Aunt Gu felt increasingly heartbroken, "Jiujiu dear, Grandma will bring you back again, then you can play with sister again, okay?"

Calling her mom ’sister’, how ruthless Aunt Gu must be?

Jiujiu was still reluctant, Aunt Gu worried that Le Zhengsheng would come up, so she harshly picked up Jiujiu and went out the room.

"Ah... Jiujiu." Gu Xiaoning gritted her teeth, feeling pain all over!

Chapter 645 A Sheng’s Extra, ’Big Uncle’ Arrives

Aunt Gu carried Jiujiu downstairs, "A Sheng."

Le Zhengsheng took Jiujiu, seeing his daughter wide awake, her little face flushed, how could she look like she just woke up?

"Auntie." Le Zhengsheng curved his lips, "Well, I’m off then."

"Yup." Aunt Gu nodded anxiously, afraid Le Zhengsheng would notice anything.

Only after Le Zhengsheng was out did she breathe a sigh of relief.

’Ring ring,’ the phone rang.

Aunt Gu hurried over to answer it, "Hello..."

The call was from her workplace, a job arranged by Le Zhengsheng, working as a cleaner at a hotel under Lezheng Family.

"Oh, okay, Manager... No problem, I’ll be right there."

Hanging up, Gu Xiaoning happened to come down from upstairs.

Gu Xiaoning still held Jiujiu’s little vest that was left behind earlier.

Seeing her mother anxious, she asked, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

"Ah." Aunt Gu was a bit rushed, "Ningning, there’s soup stewing on the stove to nourish blood, the doctor said you’re severely anemic, too weak, I can’t afford medicine, but can make you some good food."

While speaking, she put on her coat, "Someone at my workplace took leave tonight, Manager asked me to cover, I’m heading over now, eat by yourself. Okay?"

"Oh, alright."

Gu Xiaoning agreed, entering the dining room.

The room was filled with a rich aroma, Gu Xiaoning smelled it, her eyes became teary.

These past two years, she missed this place, missed home, almost driving her crazy!

Behind her, suddenly footsteps.

Not heavy, step by step, so only when the person was close did Gu Xiaoning realize.

Suddenly standing up, turning sharply...

"..." Gu Xiaoning was astonished, looking at the person in front, speechless.

...It was Le Zhengsheng returned unexpectedly.

Le Zhengsheng stared at her blankly, indeed so.

Yes, Aunt Gu was intentionally sent away by him, Liao Jingqing was downstairs with Jiujiu now, he came back specifically to see if Gu Xiaoning was indeed here!

"..." Gu Xiaoning faltered, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

"Hmph." Le Zhengsheng snorted lightly, approached.

Glanced at the ginseng and black chicken soup on the table, smiled, "Nourishing the blood, I see. Auntie is always frugal, with Xiao Zheng not returning, she wouldn’t eat the good stuff, so... made it for you?"

"I..." Gu Xiaoning stammered, nodding, "Yes."

Le Zhengsheng squinted, his gaze cold.

"A mother cooking for her daughter, not unreasonable, I can’t intervene."

He spoke so indifferently, truly aloof.

"But..." Suddenly, Le Zhengsheng changed his tone, "Why are you approaching my daughter?"

"I..." Stammering, Gu Xiaoning was so questioned, frightened her to step back involuntarily.

Le Zhengsheng’s long eyes narrowed, "Jiujiu spent the entire day with you, right? Why? Why are you intentionally approaching my daughter!"

So incisive, aggressively!

"A Sheng." Gu Xiaoning reached to hold him, pleading, "Don’t be like this, Jiujiu is also my daughter, I miss her!"

"Miss?" Le Zhengsheng frowned, his eyes full of pained surprise, "Now you miss her? After being abandoned by a man, after returning so embarrassed, you remember her?"

Le Zhengsheng became increasingly agitated, "Jiujiu has never had a drop of mother’s milk since growing up! When she cried for milk, where were you? When she called for mom at night, where were you? When she wanted mom to brush her hair, braid it, where were you? Ah!"

"Ah..."

Pressed by him, Gu Xiaoning directly fell into the chair.

"Whew!" Le Zhengsheng long sighed, eyes red, "Gu Xiaoning, I thought about forgiving you! When I lay on the operating table, I still thought of forgiving you! When Jiujiu wasn’t even a month old, I hoped you’d return, we’d have her first month celebration together! But, you didn’t come back, when Jiujiu was one, I thought you’d return, but, you still didn’t!"

"Ah..." Gu Xiaoning clutched her heart, the pain was unbearable.

Le Zhengsheng blinked rapidly, trying to force back tears.

"So, Gu Xiaoning, why come back now? This whole year and more, you didn’t even call to ask about Jiujiu! Now, what right do you have to see her? Gu Xiaoning, I don’t forgive you anymore! Never plan to forgive you again in this lifetime! So, please stay away from my Jiujiu! I don’t want a mother like you setting a bad example for her!"

"Ah, ah..." Gu Xiaoning had already broken into sobs.

Her grievances, who would she tell?

"Ah!"

Le Zhengsheng roared low, pointing at Gu Xiaoning, "Listen, I’m not just saying this! Leave Jiujiu, leave my life!"

Finished speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Xiaoning sat in the chair, feeling heartache to the point of numbness.

A long time passed before she slipped off the chair.

"Ah..."

In the empty apartment, Gu Xiaoning cried out in anguish.

Who would help her? Who would save her... She lost A Sheng, it wasn’t regret, she’s just in pain!

...

Fearing Le Zhengsheng would come again to Aunt Gu’s place, Gu Xiaoning moved back to her own residence the next day.

When Aunt Gu got off work, she brought soup to see her.

"Ah." Aunt Gu looked at this shabby apartment, sighing, "Is it really that hard? This house is truly too run-down."

Gu Xiaoning drinking soup, didn’t care much, "Mom, any job recommendations? If I don’t work soon, I’ll starve to death."

"Hmm?" Aunt Gu was shocked, "What nonsense? With mom around, how could you ever..."

"Mom." Gu Xiaoning shook her head, "I know, taking care of Xiao Zheng has been tough enough on you, I’m so grown, how could I still want you to support me? Besides, I have a daughter myself now."

"Ah..."

Mentioning Jiujiu, Aunt Gu sighed, "Don’t blame A Sheng, he’s bitter inside... after all, we’ve wronged him."

"Mmm." Gu Xiaoning nodded, somewhat choked up, "How could I blame him? I won’t."

Aunt Gu thought for a moment, "Then let mom keep an eye out for you, your body can’t be too overworked, don’t just take any job for the money."

"Mmm." Gu Xiaoning’s eyes moistened, suddenly hugging her mother, "Mom, I’m sorry. Having a daughter of my own now, I finally understand, I truly wasn’t good! Whatever mistakes I’ve made, only mom would unconditionally forgive me!"

Aunt Gu was startled, and began to cry too, "You child."

So many words, all choked up.

The past is gone, blame and sighs have no meaning anymore.

...

Guan Chao.

"Redo!"

A shout from the inner room, Liao Jingqing came out holding a stack of documents.

Subordinates were all on edge, "How was it?"

"All, redo." Liao Jingqing was dejected.

Subordinates stuck out their tongues, "What’s wrong with Director lately?"

"Tsk." Liao Jingqing clicked his tongue, looking helpless. How would he know? The boss had been unusually cranky these past couple days, maybe, ’big uncle’ came?
