As soon as they returned to Li's house, the old housekeeper and Song Yunxiao were waiting at the door early.
Their faces were full of smiles, and they seemed to have been waiting for their return.
Everyone came back with a sense of expectation in their hearts, hoping that Bao'er would really know the way home and return to Li's house. When they came back, they would be the first to see Bao'er smiling at them.
Chen Huanhao seemed particularly calm, as if he had already determined that Bao'er would never come back.
Gu Manman stumbled forward and grabbed Song Yunxiao's hand tightly: "Mom, Mom! Is Bao'er back? Has Bao'er returned to Li's house?"
Song Yunxiao was stunned when he heard her words: "No, Manman, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand clearly? Has Bao'er returned to Li's house? Isn't Bao'er with you?
?"
"Also, didn't you come back from looking for Zi Chen? Why did you go so long? A whole month! But I miss you so much. You don't even know how much I miss my good granddaughter!"
After saying that, she looked behind Gu Manman.
At this glance, I could only see Chen Huanhao, Gu Zichen, and Li Zichen, but there was no trace of Bao'er.
She still greeted her with a smile and supported Gu Manman across from her: "Manman, where is my Bao'er? Why didn't Bao'er come back with you? Are you still hiding in the car to give grandma a surprise?"
She walked towards the car not far in front of her, "Bao'er, stop hiding. Grandma has seen you, and grandma is coming to catch you!"
The smile on Song Yunxiao's face and her words deeply stimulated Gu Manman's nerves.
She clenched her fists tightly and shouted at Song Yunxiao opposite: "Mom! Bao'er didn't come back!"
Song Yunxiao paused for a moment, then froze on the spot. She frowned and turned back in confusion.
"Manman, what are you talking about! Why didn't Bao'er come back..."
When she said this, she seemed to have realized something, and her eyes widened: "Could it be that..."
Gu Manman faced Song Yunxiao in front of her and knelt down in front of her with a plop: "Mom, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for you! It's me, I lost Bao'er! I lost Bao'er accidentally!"
Her words were like thunder, hitting Song Yunxiao hard on the head.
Song Yunxiao took a few steps back and couldn't react for a long time. His legs became weak and he fell to the ground the next second.
She hurriedly crawled on the ground, crawling step by step towards Gu Manman in front of her, grabbing her shoulders tightly: "Manman, what did you say? Say it again? You must be lying to me.
Right? How could you, how could you lose Bao'er! That's your daughter!"
"You must be joking with me. Tell me, are you joking with me? How could you lose Bao'er? Bao'er is the treasure of all of us!"
When Gu Manman heard her words, she burst into tears and burst into tears.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't lie to you, and I didn't joke. It was me, I lost everyone's baby! I don't deserve to be a mother! I don't deserve it!"
Li Jinze immediately squatted next to Gu Manman and tried to help her up: "Honey, get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't kneel! You are still sick!"
When Gu Zichen and Li Zichen on the side saw this, they immediately helped Song Yunxiao who was on the ground.
"Grandma, get up quickly, the ground is cold!"
Song Yunxiao was trembling all over. She couldn't imagine how such a lovely granddaughter could be lost so easily.
How could it be lost just because I went out? This is simply impossible!
"Look for it! Bao'er is lost, why don't you look for it!" Song Yunxiao's hands kept flapping.
Gu Manman kept shaking her head: "Looking for it, Mom, we have been searching in that village for a whole month! But there is no trace of Bao'er!"
Chen Huanhao stood between the two of them: "Mom, grandma, don't cry! We will definitely continue to look for Bao'er, but now, you can't be too sad. Besides, without Bao'er, you
And me! I will definitely take up Bao'er's share and honor you well!"
Seeing Chen Huanhao, Song Yunxiao was inexplicably angry. She pointed at Bao'er in front of her with a trembling finger, and then said angrily: "What qualifications do you have? What qualifications do you have to honor us on Bao'er's behalf! Chen Huanhao, you
Who do you think you are, how dare you say such a thing!"
"I'm warning you, Bao'er is just missing, not dead! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Chen Huan seemed to be frightened and hid behind Li Zichen: "Brother Zichen, did I say something wrong? I just want to care about my mother and grandma, and don't want them to be so sad..."
Li Zichen patted her head: "I know, but at this time, you'd better stop talking nonsense."
Song Yunxiao seemed to be unable to bear such a blow. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fainted and fell to the ground.
Li Jinze and Gu Manman shouted: "Mom!"
In the room, Song Yunxiao was lying on the bed and resting. When she slowly opened her eyes, she realized that there were people around her.
"Manman, Ze'er, why are you all here? Where is my precious granddaughter?"
As soon as her words came out, everyone fell silent and did not speak.
Song Yunxiao smiled and burst into tears: "Yes, I had forgotten that my precious granddaughter had been lost. She didn't come back, so I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect that it was actually true...
…”
"Mom, wife, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to find Bao'er."
Li Jinze made a promise, his face full of determination.
Gu Manman coughed violently again, her fist pressed against her lips, and her body was shaking slightly as she coughed.
Li Jinze helped her back to her room to rest, prepared medicine for her, and then stayed by her side.
After taking the medicine, Gu Manman fell asleep quickly.
He just kept sitting next to her, holding her hands tightly with both hands, and putting her hands on his face.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you and Bao'er at home at that time. It was all my fault."
Gu Manman frowned in her sleep, as if she had had a bad dream.
She suddenly raised her hands and kept grabbing them in the air.
"Bao'er! Bao'er! Don't go! My Bao'er, what's wrong with you! Bao'er, mother is here! Bao'er!"
Li Jinze quickly held her hand and coaxed softly: "Honey, I'm here! It's okay, it was just a nightmare, just a nightmare."
There was a lot of sweat on Gu Manman's forehead, and he patiently wiped it off for her one by one. Only then did he realize that her back was all wet with sweat.
Li Jinze hurriedly fetched a basin of water to wipe Gu Manman's body, and put her into warm pajamas.
He was so busy that he was sweating profusely, so he sat down.
