Chapter 536 Gu Liancheng Encounters Crisis (7)_1

Jiujiu remained silent, lost in thought.

Eleven held the child and continued to speak, "Your father was very brave today. He protected your mother and injure his hand in the process. He might not be able to hold anything anymore. The wound... it pains me just to look at it. Do you know why your father fought so hard to protect your mother? Because he said he couldn’t bear the thought of his two precious children losing their mother."

Eleven never missed a chance to praise Gu Liancheng.

She believed that no matter what happened between them, they should always let their kids know that whatever happened in the future, no matter who their father and mother ended up with, their parents would always love them.

"Daddy, you’re so amazing!" Gu Mengmeng clung to his face and gave him a kiss, "I love you to death!"

He had done many impressive things in the past, but nothing gave him more satisfaction than today. No reward could match the kiss and praise from his daughter.

"But Daddy, is your hand okay? Does it hurt?"

"It’s okay."

Fang Jiujiu got off the sofa, "I’m going to sleep!"

"I also want to sleep! Jiujiu, wait for me!"

These two children couldn’t be separated now, they had to do everything together- well, mostly it was just Gu Mengmeng’s insistence.

"Jiujiu is being contrary again..." Eleven sighed helplessly. "But he must be grateful to you in his heart. He’s always been like this, never speaking his mind directly. But... you shouldn’t need me to explain his personality to you, right? Wonder who he inherited it from."

"I wasn’t this reserved when I was young."

"Who would believe that."

"You can meet my mother if you have the chance, and ask her to know."

The seriously ill aunt...

"I heard from Mengmeng that your aunt’s illness has been cured?"

"Yes, back then, I thought she couldn’t be saved. Maybe God took pity on me and gave me back my last family member. The doctor said, she will be fine as long as the illness doesn’t relapse. She’s been pretty well these years, living a peaceful life in a small town in the United States."

"Do you only have your mother as your family?"

Eleven had always thought that, even if he dissented with his family, he wouldn’t end up all alone like her. The world probably doesn’t know of the bitterness he went through despite his glamorous exterior.

Who would have guessed...

After witnessing everything today, Eleven came to understand. The only difference between their experiences was that he still had his mother, while she had nothing left.

"No," he shook his head and said, "Aside from my mother, my elder brother was also very good to me and always looked after me."

"Gu Anyi?"

"Yes, my elder brother was the only one from the Gu family who didn’t exclude me. Later when he married his wife, she was gentle, virtuous, and kind, and they treated me well. Gu Xi is very much like her mother."

"Then the death of your brother and sister-in-law... must’ve been quite a blow to you, wasn’t it?" Eleven asked cautiously.

She originally didn’t want to ask, but couldn’t resist the curiosity in her heart.

She also wanted to find out what happened back then that led to their deaths.

"Yes," speaking of this he took a sip of warm water to steady his emotions, "Gu Xi was also devastated. She was only seven years old at that time, and she was in the car during the accident. She was so frightened that she forgot everything that happened that day. It’s better for her to forget, those aren’t pleasant memories. I hope she never remembers them."

So it was a car accident... and Gu Xi was in it?

The car accident must’ve been severe. Gu Xi must have seen her parents lying in a pool of blood which was why she chose to forget.
