Although Shu Xin didn't quite believe what Shu Mengling said, she was her mother after all, and Shu Mengling's words still gave her a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, my mother really is not dead.
When Shu Xin returned home, Shu Youkang hadn't come back yet, so she went directly upstairs to Cao Guifang's room, "Grandma."
"Xin'er is off work." Cao Guifang glanced at Shu Xin, then continued to stare at the TV screen, "Come, let's watch the opera with grandma."
"Okay." Shu Xin sat down next to Cao Guifang, was silent for a while, and asked, "Grandma, is my mother not dead?"
Cao Guifang's expression while watching TV suddenly froze, and she turned to look at Shu Xin in surprise, "How did you know?"
Cao Guifang's expression and answer were saying that Shu Xin's mother was not dead.
Shu Xin was extremely excited, her eyes sparkling, "Where is my mother?"
Cao Guifang seemed to have just realized what she had said, and quickly changed her words, "Your mother bled to death when she gave birth to you."
"Grandma, if you don't want to tell me, I'll ask dad when he comes back from get off work."
"Don't ask." Cao Guifang was a little anxious, "If you ask, your dad will be sad again."
"Then tell me the truth." Shu Xin looked determined.
Cao Guifang frowned, "Xin'er, we are all doing this for your own good. Don't ask. You are almost twenty years old. Aren't you living quite well without a mother?"
"It has nothing to do with whether her life is good or not. She is my mother. Shouldn't I know about her? Which daughter have you ever seen who doesn't even know whether her own mother is alive or dead?" Shu Xin held Cao Guifang's hand. , "Grandma, I want to know the truth."
Cao Guifang was silent for a moment, "I tell you yes, but you are not allowed to go to her."
Shu Xin was silent for two seconds and nodded.
"You swear." Cao Guifang looked very serious. The woman left nineteen years ago and took away her son's heart. Now his son has finally come out and placed all his love on Shu Xin. If Shu Xin leaves again, What should her son do
Shu Xin was slightly startled, she didn't expect Cao Guifang to make such a request, "Grandma..."
"swear!"
Shu Xin and Cao Guifang looked at each other for a few seconds, "...Okay, I swear, I will never go find her."
Cao Guifang felt relieved and looked towards the window. A look of memories appeared on her weathered face. It took a long time before she spoke, "Your mother is indeed not dead. She left with another man when you were more than two months old. After that, No news, no contact, no one knows where she is?"
Shu Xin didn't expect that what Shu Mengling said was true, and that her mother actually abandoned her husband and son for another man.
For a moment, Shu Xin couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. She was a little sad and a little angry, but most of all, she felt distressed. She felt distressed that Shu Youkang had been abandoned.
Shu Xin thought of the stupid thing he had done some time ago, severing the father-daughter relationship with Shu Youkang because of that scumbag Xiao Ruize. He must have been very sad at that time.
He was abandoned by his wife when he was young, and he was abandoned by his daughter when he was old.
At this moment, Shu Xin wanted to slap herself.
Cao Guifang's voice continued to ring in her ears, "Your father loves your mother deeply. He married Jiang Tingrou because of you. You are too young and a grown man can't take care of you. Your father loves you and is afraid that you will be sad if you know the truth, so he I’ve been hiding this from you, so just pretend you don’t know about it, so as not to prevent your father from worrying about you again.”
"...Okay." Shu Xin swore in her heart that she would honor Shu Youkang well in this life.
