"Are you gambling again, or are you causing trouble?" Gu Lian's face was expressionless.
"No, no!" Gu Huai denied repeatedly and struggled to move forward, "Sister, I have changed since you lost contact. Lulu and I are married and living a very stable life."
Gu Lian glanced at him, "Then why did you come to me?"
"It's our mother..." The man cried out, tears streaming down his nose, "Our mother has pancreatic cancer, and it's in the late stage."
Gu Lian's eyebrows moved slightly.
She sat quietly, her expression unwavering, as if she didn't care.
Gu Huai broke free from the bodyguard's hand, wiped his tears, and took the opportunity to step forward, "Not only our mother, but also grandma. Grandma is old. She was hospitalized for coronary heart disease some time ago. After she came back, she got sick again. The doctor said
It’s happened in the past few days.”
Speaking of grandma, Gu Lian felt a little shaken.
The whole family was filthy, and the only one with any conscience was the old man.
It's a pity that even if you treat her a little better, you can still hide and hide when big things happen.
"Sister, you can blame me, you can blame our mother, but you can't blame grandma. When you were a child, grandma often bought you food secretly."
"Why did she secretly buy things for me?" Gu Lian turned his head suddenly, his eyes sharp, "That's because you will always take away what belongs to me, and no one in the whole family cares about my life or death!"
Gu Huai was frightened by her look, stopped howling in mourning, crawled forward two steps, and kept kowtowing to Gu Lian.
"Sister! Please, for grandma's sake, go home and take a look."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, called up an audio clip with trembling hands, and handed the cell phone to the table in front of Gu Lian, "This is our mother..."
"Xiao Ni, I'm mom...Mom, I'm sorry for you..."
Gu Lian clenched her hands tightly, stared at the screen of her phone, and slowly moved forward while watching the progress bar.
The audio for a few minutes has no focus at all. It is basically crying, with a hoarse voice, and the sound of vomiting is mixed in the middle.
She raised her head, her fingertips trembling, and her mind was filled with memories.
Her mother's name is Wang Ying, she is an out-and-out rural woman from Lucheng, a typical illiterate person. The Gu family is so poor that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, but they desperately want a boy.
Gu Lian has two older sisters, both of whom were adopted. When she was a child, Wang Ying also loved her because she was the first child to be raised under his knees. The most important thing is that the woman felt that she was her daughter.
He recruited his younger brother.
But as she grew older, Gu Huai's material needs became higher and higher. As the whole family supported this big baby who would carry on the family lineage, she became the main target of exploitation, and all motherly love was gone.
She will never forget in her life, when Gu Huai went gambling at a young age and was forced to come to the house by his creditor to demand the debt. Wang Ying wanted to push her daughter out without saying a word.
In fact, she was really pushed out.
"Sister, listen, our mother really doesn't have time. If you go back, you won't lose anything. In this world, no one can do anything to you. Just seeing you for the last time, our mother misses you.
She said she was sorry to you even while lying on the bed."
Gu Lian gritted his teeth, and the memories flashed through his mind like a movie. In addition to the pain, it was still painful.
Next to him, two bodyguards looked at each other, worried that Gu Lian was really shaken. One of them stepped forward, while the other quietly retreated.
Gu Lian's eyes were straight, his fists were tightly clenched, and his nails were deeply clenched into his palms.
