McDull had already struggled out of Song Zhen's arms and jumped down.
As Song Zhen was pulling out a tissue to wipe the tears of the girl he cherished, McDull suddenly snatched the tissue from the tips of his fingers.
While Song Zhen was slightly stunned, McDull had already climbed up Gu Xinzhou's thigh.
He wiped Gu Xinzhou's tears.
As he did so, he coaxed, "Zhouzhou, the Little Fairy can't cry, oh, if you cry, you won't be pretty anymore~
Fairy's tears are all diamonds, all pearls~
You mustn't waste them like this~"
The naive words were soft and childish, instantly striking everyone's heart.
Gu Yibo looked at McDull, his heart brimming with affection.
But at this moment, what filled his heart even more was hate!
Hate for Zhuang Xiuya!
Hate for himself!
And hate... for that prematurely deceased older brother!
Song Zhen had not expected that the competition for his affection would come from his own son.
His heart was a complex mix of emotions.
He stood up, walked behind Gu Xinzhou, and patted her back.
Then he brought the tea to her lips personally and gently said, "Have some water."
He...
Should indeed show off what he could do!
And besides, his woman, he should protect!
Even if it was his son, he couldn't let him take this part of his role!
Gu Xinzhou reached out to take the cup.
But he did not let go.
Left with no choice, she could only drink a few sips, relying on the strength of his hand.
A trace of satisfaction flashed through Song Zhen's eyes.
He placed the teacup back on the table.
Then he picked up McDull and took him back to his seat.
Gu Xinzhou couldn't help asking, "Grandma, what about the driver who caused the accident?"
Gu Yibo also quickly followed up, "Mom, what about the incident on that road? Were there cameras at that time? What did the police say? Was it a drunk driving case?"
As soon as Lan Baozhen heard this, she was heartbroken!
She started to choke up, "No!
More than twenty years ago, although this place was a town, it was also rural.
Where would there be cameras on a rural road?
China's development changes with each new day, with skyscrapers springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and surveillance cameras are everywhere.
But back then, there was none of that!"
"Then..." Gu Xinzhou's little face filled with despair, "the driver who caused the accident just escaped, free from the law?"
Lan Baozhen fiercely wiped her face, "Your grandfather, when he was here, tried his best to find out.
We all felt that there was something strange about this incident.
But we really couldn't find out who did it!
At that time, the car involved in the accident had its license plate number remembered by a pedestrian, but the car was found burnt in a field.
Who was the driver?
Impossible to find!
The only record was with the vehicle administration office.
But when the police found that person, he said that he had sold the car three years before.
Sold to a second-hand car agency.
When the police went to the agency, it had already donated money and run away.
All our money at the time went to saving Weiwei's life.
Weiwei's dad, although bankrupt, still had capabilities, he took several financial jobs privately, doing accounting for others to make some extra money.
But when Zhouzhou was seven years old, he also left me.
I really had no choice.
With Zhouzhou, we would all die!
I had no choice but to contact Yibo and have the child taken away!
Then, I found several jobs in the town, and life finally got on track.
Yibo was filial too, not only buying me a house but also often coming to visit me.
Moreover, all the money he gave me over the years, I used it to save Weiwei."
Gu Xinzhou's right eye suddenly started twitching incessantly.
A bad feeling arose in her heart.
Very strong.
She looked around at everyone and asked anxiously, "Shall we go see Mom now? Is that okay?"
