45. Chapter 45 Gentle
If this Bai Qiu is not her mother, then...the other Bai Qiu who died in a car accident is her mother? In other words, her mother died a few years ago, and after leaving her hometown, she remarried and had children, and had another family?
…
Zhaozhao covered her chest and squatted down, her heart aching so much. With this truth, she would rather never know where her mother was, never know that she had left her father and their family.
Tears quickly gathered in her eyes. Zhao Zhao opened her eyes wide and blinked hard until there was no trace of moisture in her eyes before she stood up again.
"Boss, the Bai Qiu I'm looking for is probably gone."
"Oh...little girl, don't be too sad. At least it wasn't very painful when I left."
"Do you have her home address? I want to see it."
"Her home address? No, I do know which cemetery she is in. If you are not afraid, you can go look for it."
"OK, thanks."
Zhaozhao walked out with the address of the cemetery again, took a bus to the cemetery at the foot of the mountain, and found Bai Qiu's grave not long after.
The surroundings were cleaned very clean, and flowers were placed in front of the grave. Apparently people often came to pay their respects. She felt much more relaxed. It turned out that her mother was here and there were many people to care about. At least...she was not alone, right?
Zhaozhao squatted down and put down the white chrysanthemum in her hand. The corners of her lips wriggled slightly. She was full of words but didn't know where to start. She just squatted there like this until the sunset.
When she came to her senses, she stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, and the back of her hand was wet...
When did she cry? Even she herself didn't know.
As if telepathically speaking, her aunt called at this moment. As soon as Zhaozhao heard her aunt's voice, which was as familiar as her mother's, tears immediately fell down, and she could only try her best to maintain a normal tone.
"Zhaozhao, where is it?"
"I'm at the cemetery."
"Kid, why are you going to the cemetery today? How unlucky!"
"I just wanted to come and see..."
"You are so old and still act like a child. How can someone go to the cemetery for their birthday!"
Birthday... Zhaozhao was stunned, today was her birthday, and she had no impression at all!
The aunt was still complaining softly over there, but Zhaozhao couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, and surged out, and she sobbed softly.
The aunt was anxious, "Zhaozhao, what's wrong with you?"
"Auntie... I came to see my mother. My mother's grave is here. She, she had a car accident a few years ago."
"What...car accident?"
The aunt paused for a while and then slowly spoke. The voice was far away, as if it came from the horizon.
"Yes, she died in a car accident. I'm at her graveside now." Zhaozhao stopped crying. "You must not tell grandma about this. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the blow if she finds out."
"I understand, what about you... Zhaozhao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'll sit down for a while and then go back." Zhaozhao said in a daze.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Zhaozhao returned home. She hadn't eaten anything all afternoon, but she didn't feel hungry at all. She was just weak. When she opened the door, she couldn't find the keyhole even though she held the key twice.
When I opened the door, there was no light on in the room. Xiao Gejie and Xu Jinteng were not there?
Just as Zhao Zhao was having doubts, everyone in the room suddenly shouted in unison, "Surprise!"
