She couldn’t go on eating; that alone had already made her mental defences begin to tremble.
If she continued to eat, she didn’t know what she would become, whether she would immediately let go of all her grudges and hatred and acknowledge them on the spot.
Because she knew that she had longed for her mother’s love for too long, and if Madam Gu kept on raiding her mental defences like this, she was afraid that she really wouldn’t last long.
So today’s meeting had to end, it couldn’t go on any longer.
Rongshu put down her mobile phone and stood up with a slightly shaky figure.
Fu Jingting also got up after her, and gently wrapped her in his arms.
From the beginning to the end, he had never moved his chopsticks and eaten the table’s food.
First of all, this table was specially prepared by Mrs. Gu for Rongshu, and he had always known that Rongshu actually longed for motherly love.
So, he also did not want to get involved between Madam Gu and her, and he also wanted to let her feel a bit of motherly love and soothe the last regret in his heart.
The next thing was, he wasn’t hungry!
“Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, my wife has already eaten, and it’s getting late, so we’ll leave first.” Fu Jingting glanced at Gu Yaotian and then at Madam Gu, and offered his farewell.
Rongshu’s kept her head down from start to finish, unable to see her expression, and did not speak.
Gu Yaotian saw a little more clearly than Madam Gu and understood that Rong Shu’s current state was not quite right, so he nodded and agreed, “Good, be safe on the way, and if you can, give us a call or send a message when you arrive to let us know you had a safe journey.”
Fu Jingting did not respond, and it was not clear whether he had agreed or not.
Mrs. Gu didn’t say anything, just a pair of eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at Rong Shu.
Her daughter had only been here for a short while, how could she have to leave.
She hadn’t finished these dishes yet, and she hadn’t hugged her daughter yet.
Without knowing what had occurred to her, Mrs. Gu suddenly put the chopsticks in her hand and took three or two steps to follow Rong Shu.
Rongshu struggled subconsciously.
But Madam Gu’s hold was so tight that she could not break free.
Fu Jingting originally wanted to help her, but Gu Yaotian cast him a look at this moment, praying that he should not do so and let Madam Gu hug Rongshu, just a hug.
Fu Jingting looked at Madam Gu, who was hugging Rongshu and crying uncontrollably, and then at Rongshu, who had struggled twice and then suddenly stopped, standing there in a daze, allowing Madam Gu to hug her, and finally gave up his intention to separate the two.
He could tell that Rongshu also wanted to feel her mother’s embrace, and that the initial struggle was more just uncomfortable.
“Shushu, mommy misses you so much, really misses you.” At that moment, Mrs. Gu spoke, her voice full of choking sobs and missing.
Rongshu’s body trembled, and her heart swelled and tightened.
Mrs. Gu let go of her slightly and cupped her face with both hands, looking at her with teary eyes, “Shu Shu, mommy really loves you so much, you were the child your father and I sought medical help for years and took years of in vitro testing to successfully conceive, you were the one your father and I loved the most, but I’m sorry mommy and daddy lost you and did a lot of things to hurt you, mommy and daddy are really guilty , but mummy and daddy are not begging you to forgive us either, we just want to tell you how much we miss you and how much we love you.”
Although Gu Yaotian didn’t say anything, the way he looked at Rong Shu was so sincere.
The meaning was also clear; what Madam Gu said was exactly what he wanted to express as well.
Rongshu bit her lips to death, her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something, but no sound could come out.
Mrs. Gu touched her slim face, “Shu Shu, are you still coming tomorrow? Mummy wants to take you to the Gu family, to see your room, to see the birthday presents that mummy and daddy have prepared for you these past twenty years, and also to let your grandparents know that you have always been there.”
Rongshu closed her eyes, her voice hoarse as she returned a few words, “Let’s talk about it.”
She didn’t promise, but she didn’t refuse either.
This answer had already made Gu Yaotian and Madam Gu incredibly happy and excited.
No refusal meant there was a possibility of a yes.
So there was no rush, take your time, there was still time.
“Fine, fine, mommy won’t push you, mommy is waiting for your answer.” Mrs Gu wept with joy and nodded her head repeatedly.
Rongshu pulled on Fu Jingting’s opponent, “Let’s go.”
She was afraid that if she didn’t leave, she wouldn’t really be able to hold back.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, nodded again to the couple Gu Yaotian, and led Rong Shu away.
Mrs. Gu followed them reluctantly and saw them off, all the way to the car in the car park, even when the car was far away, she still stood in the same place and kept waving goodbye.
Rongshu saw this scene in the rear-view mirror and could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into tears.
When Fu Jingting heard her crying so sadly, he was also heartbroken, then pulled the car over to a roadside, unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over and took her into his arms, “Don’t cry, I know Gu Yaotian and the others have caused you a big tear in your heart, but it’s not your fault, they are your real parents, their love for you is justified, you can accept it without any psychological burden, because that was originally yours, you don’t have to feel sorry for the Rong family just because you feel like you’ve accepted some of the love from Mr and Mrs Gu Yaotian.”
“I know, but.”
Rongshu buried her head in the man’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
The man wasted no time in patting her back gently, “Don’t worry, no matter what, you still have me, and our child, we will always be there for you.”
These words did calm Rongshu down a little and she closed her eyes in the man’s arms.
She was already in poor health, plus pregnant women were also drowsy by nature, and after a while of quietness, she fell asleep past smelling the mint fragrance of the man’s body.
Fu Jingting waited for a while, felt no movement in his arms, looked down and this time found her asleep, let out a low laugh, then flattened the passenger seat so she could get a good night’s sleep.
After doing so, he took off his jacket and gently draped it over her before starting the car and returning to the First Hospital.
Watching Fu Jingting return with Rong Shu in his arms, Lin Tianchen frowned, “What happened to her?”
“Tired of crying, she fell asleep.” Fu Jingting gently placed Rong Shu back on the hospital bed.
Lin Tian Chen pushed his glasses unhappily, “She’s in this terrible state of health now, and you actually let her cry?”
“Or what?” Fu Jingting covered Rong Shu with the blanket and straightened up her body and glanced at Lin Tian Chen lightly, “Don’t you forget who she is going to meet today, it is common knowledge how much love the Gu Yao Tian couple has for their only daughter, do you think Xiao Ye Zi will not be moved by the Gu Yao Tian couple and cry when she goes there?”
A trace of confusion surfaced in Lin Tian Chen’s eyes, “Sorry, I don’t really understand what parental affection you’re talking about, but all I know is that she can’t cry a lot, it’s not good for her body or the fetus.”
“I know, it’s just that today is a special case, I’ll pay some attention to it in the future.” Fu Jingting sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Rong Shu’s pale eyes, his eyebrows full of tenderness.
At that moment, his mobile phone dinged, a message came in.
Fu Jingting took a look at it, it was a message from Gu Yaotian, asking if they had arrived safely.
Fu Jingting originally didn’t want to reply, but remembering how much Gu Yaotian loved Rong Shu, he finally managed to be patient and replied with the word hmm.
Even though he was indifferent, Gu Yaotian was still very happy to see the response, and his hands trembled as he typed: “Take good care of Shushu.
