Wen Jiu quickly stopped talking and said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Even though she said that, she was still very curious...
Lu Jing's grandfather became the richest man ten years ago, and he only has one son and one grandson.
How could Lu Jing be made to behave like a little beggar, running around helplessly in the street when his mother was sick?
Lu Jing looked at Wen Jiu's hesitant expression and guessed what she was curious about.
In fact, it’s okay to ask directly.
It has been ten years, and my mother also hopes that he will let go.
Moreover, he is also willing to share everything about him with Wen Jiu.
He took the initiative to confess: "When I was five years old, my father was demoted by my grandfather because he messed up a large-scale project of Star Fruit."
"He had a tough temper and refused to accept Grandpa's arrangements, so he led our family to cut off the relationship with Grandpa and went out to start a business with a lot of savings."
"Then what?" Wen Jiu listened carefully.
It seems like it’s the same place as it was eight years ago.
Eight years ago, she told him all her joys, sorrows and joys.
Now, she is also listening to his joys and sorrows.
Lu Jing gently pulled the corners of his mouth, his smile a bit bitter.
"When he failed in one line of work, our family became poorer and poorer."
"My mother worked hard with him and got stomach problems, which slowly evolved into stomach cancer, and finally got out of hand..."
When Lu Jing said this, his deep eyes stared straight at Wen Jiu: "So you have to take good care of yourself, and don't ignore it just because your stomach problem is not serious."
When he said this, his throat moved and he stopped what he was going to say.
Wen Jiu touched the warm Chinese medicine bag on her belly and nodded: "I will take good care of myself."
She was still very curious: "Well... when you found out your mother had cancer, didn't you go back to find your grandfather?"
In today's era, although cancer cannot be 100% conquered, it can be easily transformed from malignant to benign and benign.
Moreover, with the advancement of medical technology, cancer patients can live longer without causing them too much pain.
You need money, lots and lots of money.
Drugs that inhibit cell division are very expensive.
But no matter how expensive it is, for Lu Zhaoxiong, it's just a drop in the bucket.
As long as Lu Jing's father goes back and admits his mistake to Lu Zhaoxiong, I believe he will not leave his daughter-in-law alone.
Lu Jing shook his head, his quiet eyes a bit cold: "My father has a tough temper and is unwilling to look back and apologize."
"And I was too young when I left. My father didn't let me contact my grandfather at all. I didn't have any contact information for my grandfather. I could only secretly come to Beicheng alone to beg my grandfather, but someone stole my wallet on the way... and then...
Met you."
There was no pessimism in his voice, it sounded like a straightforward statement.
But Wen Jiu couldn't help but have a sore nose.
She could imagine how helpless a thirteen-year-old child, full of hope of saving his mother, would feel when he traveled all the way to such a big city and ended up penniless and unable to contact his relatives.
She was also extremely lucky that she had not been hurt back then.
She is still an optimistic and kind-hearted little girl who can lend a helping hand when she meets someone who needs help.
If it hadn't been for that time, she might have closed herself off, and even if she saw someone in need of help, she would be too timid to come forward.
It took her a while to stop crying, and then asked: "Then did you find your grandfather later?"
"No. Not long after you gave me the thousand yuan, my father informed me that my mother was dying. I had to give up asking my grandfather for help and hurried back to see my mother."
"After my mother passed away, the money at home was not enough to pay for the funeral. There was just some left over from the thousand yuan you gave me, so I bought a bus ticket and ran to Beicheng again. I was lucky enough to finally meet my grandpa."
"Later, my grandfather held a funeral for my mother and took me back to him."
In fact, at that time, he wanted to go find Wen Jiu immediately.
But Wen Jiu's school is considered an excellent public school. You can't get into it even with money, so you can only get in by taking an exam.
Before, Lu Jing often skipped classes and went home to take care of his mother, so his grades couldn't keep up.
So he spent another two years studying in other schools, and finally got in in the year when Wen Jiu was about to graduate.
This is the past between him and her.
Nothing spectacular.
Just two people stuck in the quagmire one behind the other, reaching out to give each other a hand.
After hearing about his parents, Wen Jiu felt mixed.
She sympathized with Lu Jing and was angry with his father.
What kind of dog man is he who wants to save face and suffer the consequences!
It’s not like I couldn’t save my wife back then!
If he goes back and kowtows to his richest father and admits his mistake, won't he be able to get money to save his wife?!
Yes, men do need to have drive, drive, and backbone.
But if an incompetent man has these qualities, he is an impulsive fool!
Make your family suffer alive!
But Wen Jiu couldn't scold his father directly in front of Lu Jing.
She could only say sadly: "You have suffered a lot."
Lu Jing looked at Wen Jiu with warm and clear eyes.
Yes, he suffered a lot in the past.
But from the moment he met Wen Jiu, his life was not so miserable.
He smiled and said: "If it weren't for the thousand yuan you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to rush back to see my mother for the last time. Thank you."
Wen Jiu also smiled: "How do you thank me? That thousand yuan exchanged for your company for a whole year, if you have to count, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be alone in school,
Maybe I won’t be able to hold on anymore.”
Looking at her warm and soft eyes, Lu Jing suddenly felt the urge... to confess to her now!
Tell her that his feelings for her have slowly changed in the company of those years.
He already liked her very much at that time.
By now, his feelings for her have deteriorated to the point where he can barely control himself.
But just when his impulse was about to escape, Wen Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said loyally: "I think it's worth a thousand dollars to get a life-long friend like you!"
Life...best friends...
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jing held back the urge to confess.
Forget it, forget it.
Let’s lay the groundwork again.
But he wanted to collect interest first.
Now Wenjiu is full of sympathy for him, and she will definitely agree to any request he makes that is not excessive.
So he plucked up the courage to ask: "Senior, can I...can I give you a hug?"
This is what he has wanted to do since eight years ago.
Today I finally had the courage to speak out.
He waited nervously for Wen Jiu's response.
Wen Jiu didn't say anything, she took the initiative to approach him and hugged him.
The warmth of his embrace filled Lu Jing's heart little by little.
Ten years ago, before his mother died, she held his hand and told him: "Take your time in life, and there will be others who will love you."
He felt that Wen Jiu was a gift from his mother.
Let him have some warmth in this cold world.
…
Outside the door, Wen Hua and Yu Xia Zhi, who had returned from dinner, stood blankly at the door, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Especially Wen Hua...his good brother and his daughter? What's going on?
