The old man, who had his back to the door, trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. Then he slowly turned around and saw the child standing at the low door. The old man's fingers trembled, and he held on to the sink, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Axiao?" She called out softly, as if she was afraid that everything before her eyes was just a dream, a dream she had had countless times.
Gu Xiao smiled and called out again: "Grandma."
The clothes in the old lady's hand slipped into the pool with a bang, and the water splashed on her. She didn't care about that and walked towards Gu Xiao. Her legs were not in good condition and she had no time to take care of herself in the past year. She was in no mood to go to the hospital for treatment. It was difficult for her to walk now, as if she was dragging one leg. She couldn't walk fast at all. She was afraid that if she walked too slowly, her missed grandson would disappear again. She was almost crying in anxiety.
Gu Xiao quickly stepped forward.
The old lady hugged him and burst into tears. Her voice was heartbreaking. "Where have you been? I haven't heard from you for such a long time. Do you know how worried I am? You are such a worrying child. Do you know how your grandma has been able to survive all this time?"
Gu Xiao's eyes turned red unconsciously, and he reached out and patted her back gently: "I'm back, aren't I? I'm back, aren't I?"
Grandma Gu cried uncontrollably: "I didn't hear from you at all. I really thought you were dead. I've been thinking about dying. I don't have anyone in this world to worry about. I'm not in good health either. Living is really a pain."
Gu Xiao's chest felt choked up: "Grandma, don't say that, I'm fine, right?"
Grandma Gu patted his back again: "You always disobey me, kid. I told you not to go to Master Fu, but you insisted on going. Can you listen to me in the future?"
Gu Xiao couldn't help coughing. Grandma Gu was frightened and quickly helped him sit down: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay, I just had surgery a few days ago and I haven't fully recovered yet."
Grandma Gu burst into tears: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid, did I hurt you?"
Gu Xiao: "No, it doesn't hurt, don't worry."
Grandma Gu reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, but her tears still couldn't stop flowing out.
Gu Xiao comforted her: "I will live well in the future, don't worry."
"Aren't you going to seek revenge on your brother?"
Gu Xiao lowered his eyes, his eyes a little lonely: "Later I found out it wasn't him, it was someone my mother hired to spread the news."
Grandma Gu's heart ached. This might make the child even more uncomfortable. It was understandable that Young Master Fu released the news, but his mother, for her own benefit, disregarded the life and death of her own child. Is this something a mother could do
"Your mother..."
Gu Xiao shook his grandmother's hand: "I know, she's in jail."
Grandma Gu sighed and didn't know what to say.
She deserved it, since she was her daughter. But she had indeed done a lot of cruel things, and she felt very complicated.
"Mrs. Fu sued her because of the previous incident regarding your father's property. She was no match for the Fu family and ended up getting herself in jail. I heard that the inheritance your father left her was also taken back."
You were so clever and planned so much that you ended up losing your beloved's life.
Gu Xiao chuckled: "She brought this upon herself."
