The moment she saw Zhao Wanhua, Gu Yirong's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. Similarly, the moment Zhao Wanhua saw Gu Yirong, her breath froze. How long had it been since they last met? It had been twenty years.
For years!
Time makes people grow old. The two women who were as beautiful as flowers at the time are now a little old and wan, but the man they loved together has long since passed away.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Wanhua's eyes turned sour, and Gu Yirong felt sad in her heart.
After Rong Lanze got married, he couldn't bear the pressure from his family and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career. At that time, the Rong family was not as strong as it is now and was still in the stage of development and expansion. He took the initiative to apply to the board of directors to transfer himself to a branch in Europe, and he returned all year round.
He only visited Taiwan a few times, and his last flight back to Taiwan encountered severe turbulence and unfortunately crashed.
That year, Rong Yuchi was only 12 years old.
Gu Yirong clearly remembered that the weather in Taipei was very gloomy that day, but the rain never fell. Just like Rong Yuchi's tears, he never cried, but she knew that his heart was bleeding.
After the night of his ninth birthday, he no longer regarded her as his mother. Within three years, he lost his father again. There was no child more lonely than him in Taiwan's upper class society.
Every year on the anniversary of Rong Lanze's death, Rong Yuchi would go to pay homage on time no matter how busy or tired he was. Sometimes even Gu Yirong would wonder why he had such deep feelings for Rong Lanze, even though he didn't.
Blood related.
Perhaps, the saying that blood is thicker than water is not entirely true. There is no grace for life, but there is love for nurturing.
It was precisely because of this belief that she persisted for so many years. She lost her daughter, so she loved him completely as her own son. No matter what, she could still hear him when she was dying.
He called himself mother, and she could die in peace. In the next life, she would go to atone for her sins from her daughter.
Zhao Wanhua stared at Gu Yirong, taking in every expression of hers. When she caught a glimpse of Gu Yirong's calm face, as if he was not afraid of death, she suddenly sneered, "Gu Yi, you think you can rest in peace, don't you?
?!After you ruined my life and Lan Ze's, do you think you can still close your eyes and go to heaven in peace?! You are too naive!"
The hand that Gu Yirong placed on the quilt suddenly clenched into a fist. Gu Yi, this is her real name. When she got married, she should have taken her husband's surname. But Rong Lanze would rather die back then. Fortunately, Rong Guo
Sheng cherished her, protected her face, and asked her to add the word "rong" to the suffix of her real name. After all, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Ming matchmaker of the Rong family.
Swallowing down the sourness, Gu Yirong pretended to be calm and looked back at Zhao Wanhua, "Zhao Wanhua, I know you hate me, but don't worry, I will do what you want soon. My days are numbered. In the next life
, I will never compete with you for the same man again!"
Zhao Wanhua continued to sneer, "Next life?! The accounts of this life have not been settled yet, so what about the next life?!"
There was a sudden pain in her stomach, and her heart also started to ache. She looked at Gu Yirong with a pale face, and said coldly, "Gu Yi, speaking of it, your life is really good. I'm so jealous of you. You
With a family background, natural beauty, knowledge and education, the title of Mrs. Rong that everyone envies, and a son to take care of until the end of your life, your life can be described as complete, but... if I tell you now, you have raised me for more than 20 years.
, the son I have loved for more than 20 years was born to me, will you go crazy?!"
"What did you say?!" Gu Yirong's face instantly lost all color, and his other hand grasped the quilt tightly, as if he wanted to tear the fabric into pieces.
Zhao Wanhua seemed to be satisfied with Gu Yirong's reaction, and her heart was filled with a strong sense of joy. Thinking about the doctor's diagnosis just now, she had nothing to fear, so she just told her everything!
"Back then, you used despicable means to force Lan Ze to marry you and used pregnancy as a bet. But did you know that I also had Lan Ze's child! But because you are a high-ranking rich lady, I am the daughter of a robber.
, so your belly is valuable, but the piece of meat in my belly is worthless! I am not willing to accept it. I really am not willing to accept it. It doesn’t matter if I am looked down upon by others, but my child cannot be looked down upon by others in the same way! My pregnancy
, I didn’t even tell Lan Ze, so my child was destined to have no father from birth, and his mother was born out of wedlock. How could I let him become a spurned illegitimate child?! I can’t, but I have no money.
I have no power. I can't do anything. I can only wait. When our bellies gradually grow bigger, when our due dates are closer, and when we are admitted to the same hospital. If you have early labor pains, I will ask the doctor to
I give birth-inducing injections. Don’t think that you are the only one who can bribe the doctor. I can do it too! Although my money is not as much as yours, I understand human greed better than you. That doctor can accept your bribe and he can charge an extra
Why not use my money?! The baby boy who was carried into your delivery room back then was my son, my son Zhao Wanhua!"
Zhao Wanhua spoke heartbreakingly, her tears already overflowing into rivers. She finally spoke out. For more than twenty years, she had been keeping her mouth shut and carefully cherished this secret. She endured the separation of flesh and blood just for the sake of her children.
If he can have a good future, being born in the Rong family and growing up in the Rong family is his best choice! To this day, who in Taiwan doesn’t know Rong Yuchi, the high-ranking president of the Rong family who can turn everything upside down with her hands?
Her son! He is hers! In order to see him one more time, she returned to Taipei from Tainan. In order to have a chance to say a word to him, she married into the Li family. Even if mother and son could not recognize each other, she was still willing!
"Gu Yi, actually you should thank me. If it weren't for my son, would you be able to keep your title as Mrs. Rong?! No matter how much Rong Guosheng pities you and no matter how much he wants to repay you for saving his life, I'm afraid he can't
If you and Lan Ze remain indifferent for the rest of your life, divorce will be a matter of time! But just because you gave birth to a son, the mother is more valuable than the son, so you can keep everything!"
"Shut up!" Gu Yirong suddenly had a severe headache. Zhao Wanhua's words were like needles pricking into her head. She was really in pain and was about to die. But before she died, there was one more thing she wanted.
Ask clearly, "Achi is your son, but what about my daughter? Where is my daughter?!"
