That night, Mr. Gu and Cen Yanjun were not in a peaceful mood.
Because just now, they learned that Mo Sui had given birth to a daughter.
In other words, they had a granddaughter.
What does that child look like
If Ping An grows up, will she pester them to play games like An An
Cen Yanjun had guessed before that her son went so far to find Mo Sui, it must not be for trivial matters, but she never dreamed that it was for this reason.
Mr. Gu's face darkened: "Like I said, the two of them are simply messing around. This is marriage, not a child's playhouse game. This Mo Sui didn't even tell Yicheng that she was pregnant. It's really outrageous."
Cen Yanjun's heart was also very heavy, and he persuaded: "Think about it from her point of view. At that time, they had already broken up. After breaking up, it was not her style to get back together for the children, and in her opinion, it was not Yicheng's. Style. An actress, at the peak of her career, quietly hid and gave birth to her child, and experienced so many things, she is not easy enough. We are grandparents, they are the parents of the child, and now our hearts No matter how uncomfortable it falls on them, it will be doubled, even a hundred times."
Mr. Gu lowered his head to clean up the chessboard, as if he had to find something to do to make himself feel better.
"I'm not blaming the kid." He said, "I just feel angry and distressed. Young people nowadays are dating differently than we were back then. In our day, if we were dating, we would be unhappy if something happened. Yes, even if I run, I will go to your house to speak clearly. What about them? Nowadays, there are cars, planes, telephones and mobile phones, and the network is still so developed, but why do you say that you won’t contact them if you don’t contact them?”
Cen Yanjun was also very emotional.
Fortunately, after going around for so many years, they can finally be honest with each other.
However, thinking of the child who used to exist, she felt a little sour in her heart.
Old man Gu stood up again and circled the living room with his mobile phone.
What his son meant just now was to suspect that the death of that child was not an accident.
If this is the case, their Gu family will never spare the person who did this cruel thing, and the other party must be punished by law.
Although the child is no longer here, her parents and grandparents must let the truth of the year come to light.
Old man Gu lowered his head and dialed.
Cen Yanjun looked surprised: "Are you really familiar with funeral parlors and crematoria?"
"I'll call Director Pan of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The funeral parlor belongs to the local Civil Affairs Bureau!" Mr. Gu said angrily.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Yicheng rushed to the funeral home in Beicheng City.
The answer given by Director Pan is the same as what the director of the First People's Hospital said yesterday.
They said that after so many years, they really can't remember whether there was such a child at that time. But the bureau and the courtyard are following the rules, so there should be no mistakes.
The thread stops here.
"Xiao Gu, your father called me last night and mentioned this matter. I understand that it is difficult for you to accept all this, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so please forgive me." Director Pan patted him on the shoulder and said.
Walking out of the funeral home, Gu Yicheng's cell phone rang.
It was Ann calling.
The little guy's voice was sweet: "Dad, where have you been?"
Gu Yicheng lowered the phone camera, facing his face, with a gentle smile: "Dad went out to do some errands and will be home soon, does An An miss Dad?"
He opened the car door, got in the car, and prepared to go home early to accompany the children.
However, Xiaotuanzi's fleshy face faced the camera of the phone watch and said softly, "Dad, let's go to work. Mommy is taking An'an out to play!"
"An'an, put the kettle on your back." Mo Sui's gentle voice came.
An An said solemnly: "Dad, see you tonight!"
In the blink of an eye, the video call was hung up.
Gu Yicheng: ...
It sounds like An An doesn't really want him to go home.
His little padded jacket was leaking again.
On the other side, An An put the small kettle on her back and sat on the ground to put on her shoes.
Mo Sui squatted in front of her, helped Xiaotuanzi tie her shoelaces, and hooked the tip of her nose: "Dad is at work, why did you call him again?"
An An tilted her head: "I didn't bother Dad."
Mo Sui smiled and rubbed her hair: "But he should really want to be disturbed by us."
Director He agreed to Mo Sui's vacation, but only for two days.
Mo Sui promised An An that in these two days, she would accompany the child wherever she wanted.
Originally, he wanted to go with Gu Yicheng, but he seemed to be very busy, and when he woke up in the morning, he was gone.
"Before going out to play, An An has to go somewhere with her mother." Mo Sui said.
An An is very patient and cooperates with her mother unconditionally.
She sat on the safety seat, looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, and looked at the co-pilot's position.
"Mom, when can An An sit in that position?"
"Twelve years old, you can take the co-pilot seat when you grow taller and can wear an adult's seat belt."
"Is twelve years old?"
Mo Sui thought about it carefully and told her, "It will be soon."
In the past, she always felt that every day was difficult, and she didn't know when it was the end, but now, she didn't think so.
A family of three is with each other, time will pass in the blink of an eye.
And every day is worth looking forward to.
It was Shenghua Film and Television that Mo Sui took An An to.
Early in the morning, Fu Changming called her directly and asked her to discuss the details of the variety show.
The car stopped at the entrance of Shenghua Film and Television Office Building.
"Miss Mo, I'll help you park the car. Mr. Fu is waiting for you in the office." The young and beautiful female secretary leaned over, tapped on the car window, and said with a smile.
Mo Sui handed over the car keys to the female secretary and took An An out of the car.
The front desk lady went into the elevator to swipe her card and took her to Fu Changming's office on the top floor.
"An'an, sit here and wait for mom, okay?" Mo Sui pointed to the sofa outside the office and asked.
"Okay." Xiaotuanzi climbed onto the sofa, raised his little feet, and observed everything around him curiously.
Is this the company? An An came to the company for the first time to play, but it didn't seem to be fun here.
Mo Sui entered the office.
Fu Changming smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, you are finally here."
He cut to the chase and introduced the variety show mentioned earlier to Mo Sui.
This is a role-playing reality show. The show is recorded and broadcast. The producer hopes that Mo Sui will participate in it and serve as a judge.
"Xiao Mo, I want to discuss something with you." Fu Changming said, "This is a reality show, but it can also be regarded as a talent show. The actors who are selected can get film contracts. There are many actors now, and the only thing missing is An opportunity, I wonder if you are willing to give them this opportunity?"
Fu Changming's meaning was very clear.
Although Mo Sui is a judge, she can't give the judge's opinion according to her own ideas, she has to choose the actors according to the arrangement of the program group.
"That is to say, although I am a judge, the contestants I choose, and even my judgment on their acting skills, must be performed according to the script." Mo Sui's tone became cold.
Fu Changming smiled: "It's an old friend of mine who runs this variety show. I can trust his character. Even if he wants to fill the show crew, it won't be too outrageous."
"Mr. Fu, you should find someone else." Mo Sui said.
The smile on Fu Changming's lips froze slightly.
"You know mine, and you can't speak out of your conscience." Mo Sui finished speaking calmly, and looked at An An outside the office. At this moment, an adult stood beside Xiaotuanzi, chatting with her.
This child is becoming less and less afraid of giving birth.
You know, in the past, she just blinked her eyes when she saw everyone, and she didn't dare to speak loudly.
"That is to say, you want me to help you cancel this show?" Fu Changming leaned forward slightly, with a strong aura.
Mo Sui smiled: "Mr. Fu, don't make things difficult for me."
The atmosphere seemed to be at a sudden stalemate.
The corners of Mo Sui's mouth were raised slightly, revealing a bit of a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, but Mo Sui never shifted his gaze, looking at him quietly.
It is impossible for her to give in, and it is impossible for her to make unconscionable money. This circle is already dirty enough. Although she has no ability to change the status quo, she will not sink with the capital.
I don't know how long it took, but hearty laughter came from the office.
"Xiao Mo, I really didn't misunderstand you." Fu Changming said kindly, stretched out his hand, and pointed at Mo Sui, as if he couldn't help her, "Actually, I have already declined for you long before you refused." That friend of mine."
Mo Sui smiled slightly.
Fu Changming wasn't so free, if it was what he said, he couldn't have asked her to come here.
Now, he is just me finding a way for myself to come down.
"Since this is the case, I will take the child back first." Mo Sui said.
Fu Changming nodded, stood up and made a "please" gesture: "I'll see you off."
At this time, on the sofa outside the office, An An looked up at a beautiful aunt with her little face up.
The other party looked beautiful, wearing a long white dress, with long hair pulled up low and hanging down on his chest.
Seeing An An, she squatted down with a smile and said, "Where did such a cute kid come from?"
An An tilted her head: "My mother brought me here."
The other party smiled: "Who is your mother?"
An An raised her head, just in time to see Mo Sui coming out, and said happily, "That's my mother!"
"Yuge, why are you here?" Fu Changming came over and put his arms around her waist, and introduced to Mo Sui, "This is my wife, Jiang Yuge. She has been living abroad for so many years, and she just returned home yesterday."
Nestling in her husband's arms, Jiang Yuge said with a smile, "Are you Mo Sui? I often hear Chang Ming mentioning you. He said you are the most talented actor he has ever seen."
It was the first time Mo Sui met Fu Changming's wife.
She nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Fu."
"Call me Yuge." Jiang Yuge's voice was pleasant, as soft as a light breeze and drizzle.
Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, but An An interrupted the conversation with a small yawn at the side.
Mo Sui said: "The child is in a hurry to go out to play, let's go first."
An An finally waited until this moment, "Da Da Da" ran to press the elevator.
Mo Sui followed her footsteps, and the mother and daughter left Shenghua Film and Television holding hands.
Looking at their backs, Jiang Yuge said enviously, "It's great that mother and daughter go out to play together."
"It's good to live a two-person world like us." Fu Changming stroked her hair, took her hand back to the office, and said, "Why don't you take a good rest at home? You are not in good health, and the jet lag is not reversed yet. Just running to my side is really not worrying."
Jiang Yuge said softly, "I've had enough rest, just lying down is boring."
Fu Changming shook his head: "I really can't do anything about you, next time you're bored at home, just call me, and I'll be fine when I come back."
Jiang Yuge responded lightly, showing a happy smile.
But when she entered the office, she quietly turned her head and glanced at the direction Mo Sui and An An left.
She really wanted to have a child of her own, but it was a pity that such a day would never come.
…
In the evening, Mo Sui took An An home.
Xiaotuanzi's energy was so high that he didn't seem to know how to write the word "tired". As soon as he got home, he picked up a small puzzle to study.
Seeing that An An was having fun by herself, Mo Sui went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When I lived by myself in the past, I didn't have to think about three meals a day at all. Most of them ordered a salad, and even if I went into the kitchen, I didn't need to open a fire.
But it’s different now. Children can grow taller if they eat well.
"Mom, what are you eating today?" came the little milk's voice.
"Mom, show the little greedy cat what's in the refrigerator." Mo Sui said with a smile.
It's just that when she opened the refrigerator, she was stunned for a moment.
There was nothing in it except a few eggs.
She joined the crew half a month ago and took An An away.
After the child was picked up by Gu Yicheng, he stayed at his grandparents' house for a day, and he returned home yesterday after having a full meal.
Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng have been together on and off for many years, but they have hardly lived together, except for the time when they participated in the show.
She thought that he had a regular schedule and took good care of himself, but it turned out that when she and the child were not at home, Gu Yicheng's three meals were just make do.
"Mom, isn't there anything delicious today?" Xiaotuanzi ran over, looked at the refrigerator, and said in surprise.
Mo Sui came back to his senses and closed the refrigerator: "Let's go shopping, mom is going to cook a big meal today."
"Okay!" An'an nodded her head as positively as a chicken eating rice.
She remembered that her mother made delicious food on the show, it was delicious!
…
Mo Sui had never been to a vegetable market.
But for An An, grocery shopping is a matter of familiarity.
Xiaotuanzi led the way for her mother, going to the vegetable stall for a while, and buying meat and seafood for a while.
The mother and daughter were quickly recognized, and the elders and aunts at the booth were very enthusiastic. Even if the children only bought a carrot, they would still stuff a few more okra.
Mo Sui waved his hands desperately: "No need, no need, I can't finish it."
"Big girl, why are you being so polite! If you can't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator!" The aunt was a bold person, and she stuffed them with an extra handful of green onions while speaking.
Mo Sui was carrying plastic bags one by one, and she really didn't dare to be polite, for fear that if she was not careful, the aunt would stuff another pile into her bag, so she could only thank her.
Coming out of the vegetable market, the mother and daughter were so tired that they took a bunch of vegetables home with great difficulty.
When they got home, Gu Yicheng had already returned.
He hurriedly picked up the plastic bag in Mo Sui's hand, took out the carrots and ten okras in An'an's pocket, and said with a smile, "Why did you buy so many vegetables? You're going back to the set the day after tomorrow, so you can eat so many vegetables again." Not finished."
"Buy a little more, you can still eat it normally." Mo Sui said, "There is nothing in the refrigerator. How have you solved it these days?"
Gu Yicheng was stunned for a moment.
After reacting, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
She is learning to care about him.
For dinner this day, Mo Sui wrapped his arms around him and said that he would show off his skills in front of Xiao Tuanzi.
An An is a loyal little fan of her mother. Her beautiful almond eyes immediately turned into star eyes, and she is looking forward to it.
When Mo Sui went into the kitchen to cook, the battle was particularly loud, and the sound of "bang bang dang dang" was heard again and again.
Gu Yicheng glanced inside several times.
"Dad, are you worried?" An An asked with her head tilted.
Gu Yicheng made a "shh" gesture on Xiaotuanzi's mouth: "If the dinner made by mother is not good, don't tell An An, she will be sad."
An An frowned, and said solemnly: "How can the food made by mother not taste good?"
In her heart, her mother is the best, even cooking is a culinary champion!
Gu Yicheng was amused by An An and pressed her head.
He used to think he was Mo Sui's No. 1 fan, but now that An An is here, he can only bow down.
"An'an, wash your hands and eat." Mo Sui's voice sounded after more than an hour.
For someone who is not good at cooking, cooking is like a war. She can't bear to look at this messy Nakajima.
Gu Yicheng hugged An An, washed her little hands, and the father and daughter came to the dining table together.
There are many dishes on the table.
Steamed prawns, steamed eggs, steamed eggplant, steamed tofu with minced meat, and a plate of steamed cod.
Mo Sui was a little proud, took off his apron and asked An An: "Are you good?"
"It's amazing!" Xiaotuanzi said excitedly.
After finishing speaking, seeing his mother looking at his father, Xiaotuanzi asked again, "Does Dad think it's amazing?"
"Very powerful." In order not to dampen her enthusiasm, Gu Yicheng immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time went to the kitchen to mix a plate of chili sauce.
This night, every dish on their table was eaten clean.
Little fan An'an's taste is not heavy, and the steamed dishes are very delicious to her. She picks up the rice with a small spoon and relishes it.
Gu Yicheng, a big fan, felt that these dishes were too bland, but because Mo Sui cooked the dishes himself, he still tasted them after eating them. Of course, the biggest hero is the dish of chili sauce.
After dinner, the table and chopsticks were cleaned up, and the couple accompanied the children to play on the slide.
Xiaotuanzi climbed up the slide, slid down with a "shoo", sat down on the ground, and looked back at his parents.
It wasn't until Mom and Dad clapped their hands together and said she was great that An An stood up shyly.
"What's so great about that..." She scratched her head.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui looked at each other.
He was too careless to coax the child, so he was discovered.
At 8:30 in the evening, Xiaotuanzi was finally willing to go back to the room to sleep after playing until the last bit of battery power was exhausted.
"Are you asleep?" Gu Yicheng leaned against the door of the master bedroom and asked softly.
Mo Sui nodded, rubbed his sore shoulders, and came out of the room.
Taking children to play for a day is more tiring than filming a night scene.
Gu Yicheng looked at her, and wanted to squeeze her shoulders, but when he raised his hand, he hesitated again.
He had been rejected too many times before, and for a while, he didn't dare to act rashly.
When the two passed by, Mo Sui raised his head and saw his hands frozen in mid-air.
She quickly realized what he was trying to do and couldn't help laughing.
"I'm going to heat the milk, do you want it?"
"Let me help you."
In the quiet living room, the couple stayed together, one holding a cup of warm milk, while the other was packing toys for An An.
They have been awkwardly married for such a long period of time. Although the knot in their hearts has been untied now, it is difficult to return to the original state for a while.
It's like, everyone wants to take a step forward, but they don't have enough courage.
But they all know that everything will gradually get better.
"Are you busy these two days?" Mo Sui broke the silence, coughed lightly, and took a sip from the milk cup, "I didn't see you at home."
Gu Yicheng put An An's Barbie doll into the storage box, and when he heard her words, he paused.
After a while, he said, "I went to the First People's Hospital and the funeral parlor."
They said yes, this time, there can be no concealment.
Mo Sui's hand holding the milk cup tightened unconsciously, and his fingertips turned white from being pinched too hard.
When she raised her head again, she asked softly, "Why?"
Gu Yicheng expressed his thoughts.
The wall clock in the living room was ticking.
After a long time, she found her voice: "Have you found anything?"
Gu Yicheng shook his head: "The doctors in the hospital have faced too many births, old ages, illnesses and deaths, so they have no impression of our children."
"Where's the funeral home?" Mo Sui asked again with a trembling voice.
Gu Yicheng still shook his head, stood up, gently pulled Mo Sui into his arms, and comforted him in a low voice: "Maybe I'm thinking too much."
The steady heartbeat made her gradually calm down.
Her slender hands fell on his black shirt and tightened slightly.
Mo Sui didn't expect that Mo Yaqin knew that she had secretly attended her father's funeral.
Countless thoughts emerged in her mind, almost tangled and knotted, she was in a trance, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Is this really something her mother can do
Suddenly, she said: "Go to the hospital again, I have a picture of the child, let's take the picture and ask the doctors and nurses."
"What if she is really so cruel?" Gu Yicheng asked.
"Even if the truth is cruel, we have to find out the answer." Mo Sui said, "Otherwise, the baby will blame me."
…
Early the next morning, Cen Yanjun and Mr. Gu received a call from Gu Yicheng to pick up An An.
"An'an, play with your grandparents first, and your mother will pick you up in the evening." Mo Sui said.
Cen Yanjun looked at Mo Sui worriedly.
Even though she tried her best to smile in front of the child, the tiredness in her eyes could not deceive anyone.
She and her husband have experienced strong winds and waves, but they couldn't sleep well last night because of their children.
Not to mention Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng, they are the child's parents.
"Will you come at night?" An An tilted her head.
"Yes." Gu Yicheng promised seriously.
Mo Sui rubbed her hair: "I will definitely take An An home, otherwise our little frog, An An, won't be able to sleep."
"The crew called me just now, and the director's uncle said that there will be no scenes for me in the past two days, so I can rest for another two days and take care of my body." She added, "So, mom can stay with An An for a long time."
An'an wanted to say something else.
At this time, Mr. Gu spoke up.
"My gardener is here."
Ann blinked.
Great, it's time to trim branches again!
After the old couple picked up An An, Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng set off to the First People's Hospital of Beicheng City.
Along the way, Mo Sui had mixed feelings.
Back then, when she rushed back from the set, Mo Yaqin had already completed all the formalities.
Knowing that she didn't even see the child's last face, Mo Sui almost collapsed. For several nights, she fell asleep clutching the death certificate and cremation certificate.
But even so, she never doubted her mother.
Because, when Mo Yaqin took care of the child, she was very patient and meticulous, and after the child passed away, she did lose a lot of weight, almost skinny.
But until now, Mo Sui didn't know that Mo Yaqin knew about her going to his father's funeral.
She had the same suspicion as Gu Yicheng.
Is it possible that Mo Yaqin smothered the child to death.
The couple rushed to the hospital.
Like yesterday, they first went to the doctor who issued the death certificate.
The doctor shook his head: "Sorry, I really have no impression."
Mo Sui opened the phone's photo album again, and handed the screen to the doctor: "Look again, look at this child, she is because of quilt syndrome—"
"Sorry." The doctor shook his head again, "I really don't remember."
Gu Yicheng looked at the appearance of their daughter in the photo.
The child was lying on the crib, wearing milky white clothes, sleeping like a little angel.
He lowered his eyes and led Mo Sui out of the consultation room.
"The doctor can't remember." Mo Sui muttered to himself, and suddenly grabbed him, "There is also a nurse, let's go find a nurse."
The dean went on a business trip early in the morning, and Gu Yicheng contacted a friend who worked in the hospital to find out the nurse on duty that day.
Now the nurse has been transferred to the surgery department. Seeing the picture of the child, she frowned and shook her head: "The children all look the same, so I really don't have much impression."
Gu Yicheng's friend, surnamed Liu, is a doctor in this hospital.
Seeing that the couple were so persistent, he comforted him: "The doctor will determine the cause of the child's death. If the child was indeed sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, then there will be no problem with the cause of death. Otherwise, we will report the case."
With his head down, Mo Sui kept flipping through the photo albums on his phone.
The nurse said that children all look the same...
After a long time, Mo Sui found another photo: "What about her? Do you have any impression of her?"
This is a photo of Mo Yaqin.
At that time, when she was going to check into the nursing home, she needed a single-inch photo. Mo Sui took her to take a photo, and then the photo studio sent the bottom photo.
"She came to the hospital for rescue with the child in her arms. Do you remember her?" She stared at the nurse with longing eyes, "Please, take a closer look."
The nurse shook her head helplessly, took Mo Sui's cell phone, and said, "We usually meet a lot of people, if you suddenly take out a photo like this, we really—"
However, before she finished speaking, she froze for a moment: "This person..."
Doctor Liu asked, "What happened to this man?"
Gu Yicheng's and Mo Sui's hearts hung in their throats at the same time.
"I remember her. For a while, she often came to our emergency room. This person was so weird that she would complain to the nurse if she disagreed with her, so I was very impressed with her." The nurse said.
Another nurse came over curiously after hearing what she said.
"It's her?" The other party was surprised.
At this moment, Mo Sui's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his throat.
The truth that I was eager to know, but at the moment when it finally came, I didn't know how to face it.
She tried her best to sort out her emotions, her face pale: "After knowing the news of the child's death, how did she react?"
"The child?" the nurse said, "I didn't see her come over with the child. I still felt strange at that time, and couldn't figure out why she was making a fuss."
Mo Sui shook his body, and pressed his hands on the nurse's desk: "What is she doing?"
"It's been so many years, I don't remember clearly." The nurse apologized.
Seeing that Mo Sui was almost unable to stand still, Gu Yicheng hugged her shoulders tightly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can you find the surveillance camera at that time?"
Dr. Liu said: "The storage time of the current surveillance video will not exceed three months at most. Why don't you try to apply to the relevant public security personnel, maybe there will be a backup, but there is little hope."
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui left the hospital and went to the Public Security Bureau.
Even though the hope was slim, there was a strong premonition in Mo Sui's heart.
Perhaps their child is still alive.
…
At this time, Mo Yaqin was sitting alone in the garden of the nursing home.
"Aunt Mo, it's too hot here. If you stay in the sun all the time, you will suffer from heat stroke." Nurse Huang came over and said with a headache.
Since the last time there was a quarrel, Mo Yaqin has been honest.
I don't know what her son-in-law said, anyway, she looks very normal these days, either watching TV in the suite, or chatting with other old ladies, eating three meals a day, and clearing the plates after eating Well, thank you to the cleaning staff who came to clean up.
It's just that I didn't expect that after a few days of silence, the old lady started again.
Nursing worker Huang knows that the elderly have to be coaxed just like children, but even the biological children of the elderly may not have such awareness, let alone a migrant worker like her.
At this moment, she looked at Mo Yaqin who was sitting under the scorching sun basking in the sun, and let out a long sigh.
No matter how impatient she is, there is nothing she can do. The old lady will complain when she is unhappy. It is her tone of voice that is arranged to take care of such an elderly person.
"Aunt Mo, let's go back to the room." Nurse Huang said.
Mo Yaqin shook her head, her expression dull: "I don't want to go back."
Nurse Huang said with a smile: "Heatstroke is troublesome, if—"
Halfway through speaking, she looked in Mo Yaqin's direction.
Under the shade of the trees in the garden, two children were playing football.
"This is probably the grandson or grandson of an old lady in the yard." Huang nurse explained, "There are often children who come to visit grandma or grandma with their parents, but they can't stay idle in the room, so they go downstairs to play."
Mo Yaqin listened blankly without making a sound.
Nurse Huang really couldn't persuade her to go back, but seeing her sitting quietly, she felt relieved.
"Aunt Mo, I'll get you a parasol."
Nurse Huang turned around and left.
Mo Yaqin had been staring blankly at the two children playing, and suddenly laughed.
The phone rang at this moment, interrupting her smile.
Mo Yaqin didn't wear reading glasses, so she could only squint to look at the phone screen.
Seeing that it was her daughter calling, she happily picked it up.
Mo Sui asked: "What did you do when you went to the hospital? At that time you came alone, where is the child?"
Mo Yaqin didn't seem to understand what she was saying at all: "Sui Sui, this is the first filming, does the director like you?"
On the other end, Mo Sui was silent for a long time: "What are you talking about?"
"Although there are very few roles for this role, there is room for development. As long as you perform well, you will definitely have many opportunities in the future. If you become a heroine in the future, your father will definitely regret it. Regret is useless. Who made him Don't want us mother and daughter? Let's live our own good life, so we don't care about him." Mo Yaqin laughed while talking, always immersed in her own world.
Mo Sui, who was standing outside the Public Security Bureau, held the phone with a dazed expression.
Mo Yaqin's memory faded back to when she was sixteen years old, when she just made her debut and made her first movie.
Although it was only a small role, it impressed the audience deeply, and because of this, she got many opportunities to participate in excellent works.
She returned to the Public Security Bureau.
The police's work efficiency is very high. Not only did they find the backup of the hospital's surveillance four years ago, but they also immediately called up the video of the day the child died.
For as long as seven hours, they played the surveillance video of that day at double speed, with many pairs of eyes fixed on it, but Mo Yaqin was nowhere to be seen, either at the entrance of the hospital or outside the emergency room.
In other words, on that day four years ago, Mo Yaqin did not take their daughter to the hospital.
So what about the black and white and stamped proof
When he raised his head again, Mo Sui's eyes were filled with tears, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Did she use someone else's death certificate and cremation certificate?"
Gu Yicheng couldn't hide his excitement: "Our daughter may still be alive!"
…
On the other side, after An An finished pruning the branches, it was almost dark.
After dinner, she walked around the huge living room, thinking about what else to do.
Grandma has a lot of jigsaw puzzles at home, but she is tired of playing with her chin in her hands, and she doesn't look too emotional.
Cen Yanjun said: "Little girl, what do you want to play? Tell me, I will let the old man play with you."
Old man Gu put on an old face.
It's fine if he wants to play with the little girl, since he is idle anyway.
But why can he only be called "Old Man" even though he has known the child for many days
He suspects now that this big family is all here to anger him.
In comparison, the daughter-in-law, who still seemed the most unreliable, was more polite to him.
The old man sighed.
"What can the old man play with me?" An An asked listlessly.
"The eagle chasing the chick? What time is the old wolf, the old wolf? Throwing the handkerchief?" Cen Yanjun reported several ancient games in one breath.
But these games were played by her son when he was in kindergarten. Her little granddaughter doesn't like them now.
Cen Yanjun also sighed. There are too few toys at home. In the morning, she will ask the driver to take her to buy him a car and come back.
Two old ones, one young one, got into a tangle at the same time.
I don't know how long it took, An An suddenly said: "Ah! There it is!"
"What?" Cen Yanjun asked curiously.
"I want to see the frogs." Xiaotuanzi said seriously.
After playing the little frog game with her mother that day, an idea popped up in her little head—wanting to see a real frog.
This stumped Cen Yanjun, she wondered: "Where do I go to see the frogs? Is there a zoo?"
Ann has been to the zoo.
She snapped her little finger, counted all the small animals she had seen, and finally said seriously: "There are no frogs in the zoo."
Cen Yanjun couldn't laugh or cry: "Little girl, you have to say something that we can meet. For example, buying toys, going to the park, watching cartoons... It's so late now, where can I find you a frog?"
Xiaotuanzi said "ah", then turned to look at the old man.
The old man leaned on the sofa to read the newspaper, pushed his reading glasses, and glanced at An'an.
"Can't you see the frog?" An An's voice was full of disappointment.
Cen Yanjun rubbed her head with a smile: "There is really no way, let's play something else."
An An is not a child who can embarrass others, but she really wants to see the frog, and she wants to take a picture of the little frog with her phone watch and send it to her mother.
She lowered her eyes, raised her head again, and went to look for Mr. Gu.
"Grandpa, do you have a solution?" An An asked.
She remembered that the old man said that he was the smartest person in the whole family.
After a glimmer of hope was rekindled in his heart, Xiaotuanzi blinked and looked at Old Master Gu expectantly.
And the old man thought about it carefully, and put down the newspaper: "There is a way, but you have to promise me a request first, do you agree?"
An An's eyes were shining, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Call me Grandpa." Old Master Gu said.
Cen Yanjun gave him a push: "If you can't do it, don't promise indiscriminately. Are you not afraid that the little girl will be sad?"
It's just that An'an has already answered as soon as she finished speaking.
"grandfather!"
This "Grandpa" was so crisp and sweet that Old Man Gu couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Mo Sui went to the orphanage to adopt An An back home.
This child can make people forget all their troubles.
"Old man, the child has already called you. If you don't take her to see the frog, see if she will still talk to you!" Cen Yanjun glared at him and said angrily.
"Go, who says no?" Mr. Gu stood up and waved at An An, "Grandpa will take you to see the frogs!"
Xiaotuanzi was so excited that he cheered, caught up with his grandfather, and stuffed his little hand into his palm.
It's eight o'clock now, and Cen Yanjun doesn't know where his wife's confidence comes from. She really thinks that she can lead the children to find the frog. Curiosity drives her to carry her bag and go out with them.
Mr. Gu gave the name of a place and asked the driver to take them there.
The Gu family's car was parked at the entrance of a food court in downtown Beicheng.
An An asked childishly, "Grandpa, where is the frog?"
Mr. Gu pointed to a bullfrog hot pot restaurant not far away: "Let's go."
"Okay! Let's go!"
An An followed him, and the grandfather and grandson entered the hot pot restaurant with arrogance.
That night, An An saw the bullfrog.
When entering the bullfrog restaurant, the enthusiastic waiter greeted him. Mr. Gu didn't feel embarrassed to just look at the bullfrog without ordering, so he ordered a Sichuan-flavored bullfrog pot.
Who would have thought that the Sichuan incense pot would be so spicy that the lips of the old couple became red and swollen.
When she got home, Grandpa told her that the bullfrog was not a frog, but a large edible frog.
But even so, Xiaotuanzi was already very satisfied.
Seeing this, Cen Yanjun and Mr. Gu were also satisfied.
At night, Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui came to pick An An home.
Xiaotuanzi heard them tell their grandparents that the child was still alive.
Who is still alive
An An couldn't understand, but her parents and grandparents were very happy, so she was very happy too.
After returning home, the couple coaxed them to sleep peacefully.
Mo Sui couldn't fall asleep, so he tucked in the quilt and went into the study alone.
It was late at night, Gu Yicheng knocked on the door of the study.
The study room was dimly lit, she lowered her eyes and held her mobile phone, very quiet.
Gu Yicheng put hot milk in front of her: "Drink some milk, go to bed early."
Mo Sui handed him the phone: "Look."
Together, they looked at the few photos in Mo Sui's phone.
It's a picture of a child.
A little over one month old baby, white and tender, very cute.
With red eyes, she gently stroked the face of the child in the photo: "She should be very different now, even if she stands in front of me, I may not be able to recognize her."
After a pause, she asked again: "Yicheng, can we really find her?"
It's been four years. During these four years, Mo Sui regretted countless times that he shouldn't be filming, and shouldn't have left his child at home for work.
During the period when the psychological problem was the most serious, the thoughts in her mind were even more strange, almost forcing herself to collapse.
But in any case, she never thought that the child was still alive.
Will God really favor them so much
…
The police officially opened a case to investigate and search for the child.
For several days, the couple had to come to the police station every day to inquire about the progress of the case.
The police checked Mo Yaqin's travel records four years ago, and then started with her relatives and friends, asking if anyone knew what was going on back then, and investigating who among the children who were declared dead that day had not gone through formal procedures.
Mo Yaqin is too cunning, it is not easy for her to feint in the hospital and find a way to get the death certificate and cremation certificate.
But her condition became more and more serious, and now she has become a person without capacity for civil conduct. Her testimony was not accepted and she was not arrested.
Where did the child go
If she really thinks about Mo Sui's career and doesn't have the heart to do it, she may send the child far, far away.
So far away that the mother and daughter may never meet again by chance.
The crowd was vast, and Mo Yaqin, who was the only one who knew the key news, couldn't cooperate with the statement to provide clues, so the police reminded the couple not to get too high hopes.
Finding this child is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
But they couldn't listen to it, the current Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui were eager to find their daughter.
During these days, the couple went to the nursing home many times.
Mo Sui used all means, begging, getting angry and even threatening...
But Mo Yaqin's expression was dull, she had no idea what she was talking about.
It's time to go back to the set.
But Mo Sui didn't care at all, he just wanted to stay at home and wait for the news.
"The police said that she had been to Lingshi in the past few days. Lingshi is my father's hometown, and she may have gone to pay homage to him." Mo Sui said, "On the third day after she returned home, she went to Lingshi. I called and said the child was gone."
The police have started to investigate whether Mo Yaqin left the child in Lingshi.
It may be sent to some childless family, or it may be an orphanage.
There are five orphanages in Keling City, and there are many cities around it. They don't know where Mo Yaqin sent the child, let alone how many months the child was sent away. of.
After all, there were quite a few abandoned babies in the orphanage. Even if someone left the baby at the gate, it was difficult to tell whether the baby was one month, two months, or three months old just from the growth and development of the baby.
The progress of the investigation may be lengthened.
Gu Yicheng helped her pack the suitcase, and said, "You can go to filming with peace of mind, no matter what method you use, the child will definitely find it."
Mo Sui knew that now was not the time to be anxious.
The whole crew is waiting for her, she can't be willful to add burden and loss to others for her own affairs.
She nodded, suddenly remembered about An An, and reminded Gu Yicheng to remember to complete the child's adoption procedures.
And through the conversations between parents these days, Xiaotuanzi realized a problem.
It turned out that the mother had a daughter of her own.
"Mom, is that sister or sister?" An An asked in a low voice.
Mo Sui hugged An An and let her stay in his arms.
"Mom doesn't know when An An was born, and the dean is not very sure, so I don't know whether An An is a sister or a sister." Mo Sui said warmly.
Gu Yicheng also sat beside them, rubbed the little guy's cheek with a smile: "Do you want to be a sister or a sister?"
An An tilted her head, thinking about this question carefully.
Last night, when she was at her grandparents' house, she heard Mrs. Li say that the biological daughter of parents is very important.
Since this is the case, she must take good care of that child.
So An An said seriously: "I want to be a sister and take care of my sister."
Mo Sui felt uncomfortable.
Children who grow up in an orphanage have more delicate and sensitive minds. She wonders if An An, who is only four years old, understands so many truths, but no matter what, she doesn't want her children to be sad.
They are looking for their daughter, but at the same time, An An is also important to them.
"An An is also a baby and doesn't need to take care of anyone." Mo Sui said, "You should be the child being taken care of, you know?"
An An seemed to understand but half understood.
Mo Sui said again: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad are too busy to accompany you these days. But we will deal with our own affairs as soon as possible and stay with An'an, okay?"
"After my mother's filming is over, my father will take the annual leave. Mom and Dad will take An An out to have fun." Gu Yicheng said with a smile, "We will go to a place with mountains and rivers, and An An will definitely have a good time."
An An nodded obediently, and said, "Mom should be happy too."
Mo Sui's nose was sore.
Her mood is indeed very complicated.
On the one hand, she was worried about their daughter, on the other hand, she resented Mo Yaqin's control over her since she was a child, but no matter what, it was her mother.
She never thought that her mother would do things that would hurt herself and her children.
As if being completely denied, the last trace of faith in her heart was about to collapse. She was sure that if the news came earlier, she would not even be able to face it.
Mo Sui hugged the child into his arms: "An'an is so kind, we are not sad."
However, just as she was holding An An tightly, the phone rang suddenly.
It's from the nursing home.
"Miss Mo, I'm sorry. Aunt Mo, Aunt Mo—"
Mo Sui's expression was cold: "What happened to her?"
"In the past two days, Aunt Mo's situation has been getting worse and worse. She said that you were going to be filming, and then said that you were taking an acting class. Last night, it was even more exaggerated. Aunt Mo said that you didn't get 100 points in the test, and she tore up your exam. Exam paper."
Mo Sui rubbed his temples.
"When I woke up this morning, she said she wanted to bask in the sun downstairs. I went to find an umbrella for her as I did a few days ago. But I didn't expect that in just a few minutes, she disappeared."
"It's gone?" Mo Sui's eyes darkened, "How did you take care of it?"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Mo, we are also very busy at work. Basically, a nurse is not only responsible for taking care of one..." nurse Huang explained anxiously.
But Mo Sui didn't listen any more, and hung up the phone irritably.
…
Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng went out to find Mo Yaqin.
At this moment, Mo Sui didn't think about anything else, only thinking that Mo Yaqin's mental state was up and down, maybe one day, she would suddenly recover, and she might be able to tell the whereabouts of the child.
Time was urgent, they did not send An An to the Gu family.
Xiaotuanzi sat in the car, not knowing where they were going, and thought he was going for a ride.
Beicheng is very big, and they have opened more than half of the city.
Mo Yaqin's natal family, Mo Sui's childhood home, her elementary school, junior high school, high school...
But no matter where she was, her whereabouts were never found.
Mo Sui laughed at himself: "How could I think she was in these places? She is different from other mothers. Even if her memory goes back to ten or twenty years ago, she would not think of looking for me."
Gu Yicheng looked at his wife in the passenger seat with distress.
When his mother did such a thing, Mo Sui said nothing on the surface, but the blow he received would definitely not be small.
As the sun went down, nurse Huang called again.
"Miss Mo, Aunt Mo is back! Great, she's finally back!" said nurse Huang.
Mo Sui's face became increasingly ugly.
Once again, she was played around by her own mother.
How long will Mo Yaqin continue to torment her
"We're going to a nursing home," she said.
A family of three went to a nursing home.
When she reached the door of the suite, she took a deep breath, turned her head and said softly to An An, "Don't go in, An An, go to the lobby outside and wait for mom."
Gu Yicheng knew that she was afraid of scaring the child, so he took An An's hand: "Let's go over there to play."
After An An followed Gu Yicheng and turned around, Mo Sui took the key from the nurse, opened the door and entered the room.
In the room, Mo Yaqin sat on the bed.
With her head down, she was knitting a sweater, her expression unhurried.
The bright yellow wool was wrapped around her hands, when she heard the movement, she raised her head and glanced at Mo Sui.
But with just one glance, she lowered her head again and continued to concentrate on weaving.
Mo Sui looked at her and slowly approached her.
Originally, there was anger in her heart.
But at this time, the sun was setting, and the golden light fell on Mo Yaqin's body. She didn't seem anxious, and was very quiet.
Mo Sui suddenly felt that this feeling was both familiar and strange.
As a child, she relied on and trusted her mother with all her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, Mo Yaqin has controlled her.
When he was a child, Mo Sui didn't know how to resist, but when he grew up, it was because he didn't want to resist.
Because Mo Yaqin is also very pitiful.
At that time, she had suffered too much with no academic qualifications and no decent work unit, and she was alone with her daughter to make a living.
Mo Sui didn't want to become her, but he understood her.
But now, Mo Sui felt that he was too ridiculous.
How could she understand Mo Yaqin
Mo Sui walked forward slowly, all kinds of things from the past appeared in front of his eyes, and the sockets of his eyes gradually became moist.
Mom is very paranoid, but no matter what, is that love fake
When I was young, my mother was short of money, but when she went out to eat noodles, she would add a poached egg.
When I grew up, my mother had a stable job and tried to take her to the park to play with bumper cars.
During the confinement period, her mother cooked a rich confinement meal for her, and she was not allowed to dip in cold water. She had to heat the water first, and then wash her hands after cooling...
Mo Sui always thought that Mo Yaqin loved her.
At this moment, she walked up to Mo Yaqin step by step, and asked softly, "Did you really throw away my daughter?"
Mo Yaqin continued knitting without even raising her head.
Mo Sui's face was pale, and one hand firmly held her sweater needle: "Where is she?"
"Who are you?" Mo Yaqin pushed her hand away and stared, "I don't know what you're talking about."
She wanted to push Mo Sui away.
But her strength was not enough, so she roared angrily.
Mo Sui was startled: "You don't know me anymore?"
"Who the hell are you?" Mo Yaqin raised her head suddenly, and said sharply, "Get out of here right away! Don't think we orphans and widows are easy to bully."
Mo Sui subconsciously let go of the hand that was holding her wrist.
Outside the suite, there was a sound of milk.
"Dad, I'm going to protect Mom!"
Xiaotuanzi broke free from Gu Yicheng's hand and rushed in.
She ran to Mo Sui's side, spread out her two little hands, just like her grandma was playing with her when the eagle was catching chicks, tightly protecting her mother.
At this time, Mo Yaqin stood up from the bed.
Mo Sui was afraid that she would hurt the child again, so he subconsciously protected An An.
However, Mo Yaqin smiled.
She took the wool and walked towards An An, showing the most gentle smile in these years.
"Sui Sui, look at the little sweater my mother knitted for you." She unfolded the sweater and compared it in front of An An.
The nurse Huang also heard the previous screams and ran over in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the suite, she hurriedly said, "Aunt Mo, you are confused, this is not your daughter."
"My daughter has round eyes and a little pick at the end of her eyes. Her small nose bridge is very straight, which is different from other children's nose bridge. The mouth is also the same. Even when she is not smiling, she looks like she is smiling. Mo Yaqin frowned, looked at nurse Huang with the eyes of a fool, and touched An An's head lovingly, "Our Sui Sui, we will be big stars when we grow up."
"I don't know why, I brought up our tassels by myself, how could my own daughter not recognize her?"
Nursing worker Huang smiled, coaxing Mo Yaqin as if coaxing a child: "Does this kid look a lot like your daughter when she was a child?"
"It's not that she looks alike, she is my daughter." Mo Yaqin insisted.
"Yes, yes, there is no mother who can't recognize her own child." Nursing worker Huang helped her sit back on the bed, "She is not your daughter, but your daughter's child on the show. But the show was on the air at the time. When we were together, someone said that they have a bit of similarity."
Mo Yaqin couldn't understand, but it didn't stop her from frowning and looking at nurse Huang hostilely.
But at this moment, Mo Sui's mind felt like a "thunder", unable to think.
She stood there blankly, and after a long time, a small thought popped up unconsciously in her heart.
The police said that Mo Yaqin might have dumped her child in the Ling City Orphanage, and she has always followed this line of thought, never considering other possibilities.
Mo Sui turned his head with a "huh" and looked at Gu Yicheng.
Obviously, his thoughts are the same as hers.
This idea was so absurd, they didn't dare to dream about it, they just stared at An An with nervous expressions.
"What does it look like? Do you want to see the picture of my daughter? This is my daughter."
Mo Yaqin stood up, walked slowly to the closet, and looked at nurse Huang warily.
It wasn't until nurse Huang covered her eyes and said she didn't want to look at it that she reached out and took out a long wallet from under her thick clothes.
Immediately afterwards, she took out an old photo that was almost yellowish from her wallet: "Look, we took it at the photo studio on my daughter's fourth birthday."
Nursing worker Huang took a closer look, then looked back at An An, his eyes widened.
