Chapter 36 The Red Scarf

That person looked haggard, extremely thin, and dressed plainly, but she couldn't hide the kindness and purity in her eyes that had accumulated over the years.

Gu Mo's eyes are very similar to hers.

Later, it was Hu's mother who told Su Deng that she knew that her father had left work early that day and happened to see Gu Mo's mother and son at the gate, but he didn't turn a blind eye to it and instead led them in.

Su Deng could see that his father was very warm to that woman, his eager and suppressed gaze was like a person who had been in the dark and cold underground for a long time, finally returned to the ground again and saw the warm light.

For some reason, she instinctively rejected these images.

So she ignored Gu Mo's yelling at her and ran upstairs quickly.

"This is my ex-wife's daughter, Su Deng..."

Su Deng slammed the door shut.

My ex-wife's daughter...

ex-wife...

Since that day, Su Deng can always see Su Tanmo and that woman going in and out of the villa.

As for Gu Shuhui, from her reserved silence at the beginning to her happy conversation with her father, everything has long deviated from the course Su Deng thought she was on.

That day, Su Deng originally wanted to go downstairs to get the yogurt in the refrigerator, but when he passed the study, he heard voices coming from inside.

She immediately bowed and lay down gently by the door.

"Tan Mo, thank you for everything you have done for me. Without you, I don't know where I would be now."

"Do we still need to talk about this? If you want to thank, thank Gu Mo, he is a good boy."

"I'm also surprised that he actually got to know Su Deng. Back then, I was really forced by Yang Tianming and those debt collectors, so Gu Mo brought me here."

"Shuhui, it was fate that we met. Those things are over. With me by your side in the future, I will take good care of you."

"Have you really decided? In fact, it's just a piece of paper. It doesn't matter if you have it or not."

"I promised you, how could I break my promise? Can you tell me what your concerns are?"

The woman's voice stopped for a while, and then she rang again: "That child Su Deng doesn't seem to like me very much. After all, she is you and Mrs. Lu..."

"Okay, Shuhui, don't mention that woman again. If possible, I would rather never meet her in my life. Besides, you have to have confidence in yourself. You are so kind and beautiful, and she will gradually know how good you are."

Su Deng didn't know how he got back to the room.

It's just that the moment she closed the door, she suddenly couldn't restrain her nausea, and immediately ran frantically to the bathroom and vomited.

Su Deng began to lock himself in the room and went on a hunger strike.

Hu's mother was very worried about her and always called her out for dinner every half an hour.

"Miss, how can you do this, people want to eat."

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."

It was Su Tanmo's voice, extremely cold.

"Sir, this..."

"Go back, there are biscuits in her room, she won't die of hunger."

At this moment, Su Deng, who was lying dead on the bed, suddenly had a sore nose when he heard this.

She hadn't eaten three meals, and what Su Tanmo didn't know was that the reason why there were always biscuits in her room was because Lu Manman often bought them for her.

And when she was six years old, after Lu Manman left, no one remembered her habit of eating biscuits, so they put some in her room here and some there.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she only knew that a strong smell of disinfectant suddenly emerged from her nose.

There seemed to be someone talking beside her.

"Your child's condition is very serious, hypoglycemia, dehydration, and mild gastric ulcer..."

Gradually, faint cries sounded beside her.

"Miss, you have been asleep all day, what can you do if you call me, miss..."

"Mr. got the certificate with Mrs. Gu today, and even set up Mrs. Lu's green house for her to use."

"Even half of the studio dedicated to Miss was allocated to Young Master Gu."

Su Deng stayed in the hospital for a week.

During this period, Su Tanmo never saw her in the future, as if he had forgotten that she was a daughter.

And Mother Hu, who had been taking care of her all the time, seemed to have a feeling in her heart, and never mentioned Su Tanmo and Gu's mother and son in front of her.

Su Deng also tacitly didn't ask.

This week, she ate and slept normally, chatting and walking with the grandmother who walked the dog downstairs in the inpatient department from time to time.

Hu's mother always looked at her with worried eyes, and Su Deng would obediently hug her arm, coquettishly saying that she wanted to eat sugar-fried chestnuts from Zhengxin Street.

Just when Hu's mother thought that children were forgetful and that she didn't really care about the arrival of new family members that much, everything changed in an instant when she returned to the villa.

Su Deng ran into the hall and saw that Su Tanmo and Gu Shuhui had already had lunch at the dining table.

"Dad." She called out as usual.

Seeing her come in, Gu Shuhui put down her chopsticks, visibly becoming nervous.

Su Deng changed his previous attitude of rejecting her, and called out sweetly, "Hello, Auntie."

Gu Shuhui responded flattered.

Su Tanmo wiped his mouth with a napkin calmly, and sat back on the chair, "Since this is the case, if you come here, you will be at peace, get along well with you, Aunt Gu, and Brother Xiao Mo, and stop being a child. gone."

Su Deng nodded obediently, "I see, Dad."

"Sit down and eat."

Su Deng's eyes widened curiously, "Why didn't you see my brother?"

"Xiao Mo, he said that the pool next to the back garden is very beautiful, that is, the pool with a camphor tree, where he is painting." Gu Shuhui said.

Su Tanmo nodded in agreement, "Xiao Mo is like you in this respect. He is new to painting, has amazing talent, and forgets to eat and sleep."

"That's it." Su Deng smiled, "Then I'll go say hello to my brother before coming to dinner."

After all, without waiting for their answer, Su Deng ran out.

Sure enough, as Gu Shuhui said, a good young man is like Gu Mo, wearing a clean white shirt and sitting under the camphor tree, changing from the down-and-out beggar she was when she first met her.

Looking from a distance, the tree is big and the man is small.It was summer at this time, and there were lotus flowers poking out their heads gracefully along the edge of the pool, and the stems and leaves fluttered slightly with the wind, so beautiful.

He held the hand of the paintbrush, waved it and paused from time to time, and the pond on the canvas became clearer and sparkling.

I don't know whether it is the pond that stimulates the inspirational tracing, or because the young man's pen has the magical power of blooming flowers and urging trees, which makes this deep and quiet scene.

For some reason, Su Deng suddenly remembered a draft that she accidentally saw on the study desk when she was ten years old.

"When the ship returns to the ocean,
The water of the waterfall flows upstream,

Jasmine seeds float back from afar,

It looks like snow.

The sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

The bullet returned to the chamber.

I untied the red scarf and forgot the sadness in your eyes,

You are still by my side. "

Su Deng closed his eyes, this was written to her mother, he was obviously still missing and waiting.

On that rainy day, if she hadn't brought Gu Mo home, maybe it wouldn't be long before her father would chase her mother back, and their family would be reconciled.

But now, with the appearance of him and that woman, this possibility disappeared.

completely disappeared.
