Mother……

This is an extremely unfamiliar word to Gu Zeyu.

The day he learned about his life experience, he already knew that she was gone.

But in countless midnight dreams, he kept thinking, if his mother had not died of childbirth complications, would someone have protected him at all costs? Would he not have to wander around and suffer?
But the woman who had tried her best to give birth to him had already passed away.

Gu Zeyu slowly raised his fingers and stroked the face of the young and beautiful woman in the photo, imagining her former voice, appearance and smile.

When he looked up at Old Madam Bai again, there was more gratitude and warmth in his eyes.

"Thank you."

He originally thought that Madam Bai would first let him recognize Mr. Bai and his father Bai Yucong.

I didn't expect that Mrs. Bai would put his mother first.

Old Madam Bai noticed the change in Gu Zeyu's attitude, and her heart ached, and her eyes became hot.

"Silly child, what can you say to grandma to say thank you - your mother was a very good person. After she passed away, your father has been alone for so many years and has never forgotten her. Look, there are a lot of photos of your mother in the back, taken when she was pregnant with you and Chongbu."

Old Madam Bai was not in a hurry to let Gu Zeyu recognize other people first, but slowly showed him the photos of her eldest daughter-in-law.

Although these relatives miss the child, the mother of the two children is the one who has paid the most.

Gu Zeyu looked at them one by one.

The woman in the photo gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes filled with a gentle smile, and finally looked into his eyes through time.

She was so beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Gu Zeyu stared at the photo in a daze, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Old Madam Bai naturally knew the pain in his heart. She didn't say much, but handed him a tissue with red eyes.

The departure of the eldest daughter-in-law at that time left a scar in everyone's heart.

If you want Gu Zeyu to go home without any worries, it is important to untie these knots one by one.

The evening time passed slowly.

When the photo album was closed, Gu Zeyu seemed to have experienced all of his missed past along the long river of time.

He had also made some mental preparations to deal with the people from the Bai family who were about to arrive.

Judging by the time, I should be able to see them tomorrow morning.

After making sufficient mental preparations, Gu Zeyu drank a bowl of Gastrodia elata chicken soup cooked by Old Madam Bai herself, and fell asleep exhausted.

In a daze, Gu Zeyu felt someone holding his hand.

The palms are broad and the fingers are long and strong...

Not Mrs. Bai!
Gu Zeyu was startled and suddenly opened his eyes. He subconsciously shook off the hand and counterattacked!

The infusion tube in his hand was pulled off in an instant, and the instruments beside the bed were knocked against each other with a loud clanging sound due to his violent movement.

"Don't be afraid, Zeyu, grandma is here!"

It was not until the familiar voice of Mrs. Bai sounded in his ears and Mrs. Bai held his hand tightly that Gu Zeyu slowly reacted.

His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he looked intently at the two figures standing beside the bed.

Old Madam Bai protected him and looked at her two sons standing in front of her with a reproachful look.

"I told you to slow down and not scare the child, but you didn't listen!"

"I... I didn't know I would scare the child..." The middle-aged man, who was always tall and steady, stood there at a loss. When he saw the remaining vigilance and alertness in Gu Zeyu's eyes, his heart couldn't help but ache, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

His son must have suffered so much and endured so much pain over the years to have such an extreme reaction when someone approached him in his sleep!
Bai Yucong stood there, looking at his son who had been lost and found but looked unrecognizable with sad eyes, choking with sobs.

Bai Yuqi, the second master of the Bai family, also looked at Gu Zeyu silently. Thinking of the information An Yan sent him, he felt sad and angry.

He should have been the noble eldest grandson of the Bai family, but in the end he was harmed like this. He must make sure that the culprit behind the scenes has a miserable death!

While comforting Gu Zeyu, Old Madam Bai introduced Bai Yucong and Bai Yuqi to him.

"Zeyu, this is your father and your second uncle. They were discussing business overseas, and after hearing about you, they rushed back to see you. I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I stopped them from coming. After you got into trouble yesterday, they came right here... Don't be afraid, they are here to take you home."

Madam Bai's gentle voice relieved Gu Zeyu's tension to a great extent, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

Looking at the two strange yet familiar middle-aged men in front of him, Gu Zeyu felt complicated.

He had seen their photos countless times, and even on some occasions, he pretended to pass by them casually.

But today, it was the first time he officially faced them.

Fortunately, on the way here, Bai Yucong and Bai Yuqi had imagined the scene of father and son recognizing each other countless times.

As soon as Mrs. Bai finished speaking, Bai Yucong could no longer contain her excitement. She strode forward and stretched out her hands to Gu Zeyu with trepidation.

"Zeyu, Daddy is sorry for you. I have wronged you for so many years."

For the Patriarch of the Bai family, who holds a high position and never shows his emotions, his attitude at this moment is completely humble, and the hands he stretches out are filled with warmth that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Gu Zeyu looked at the pair of hands stretched out to him, a touch of emotion flashed in the depths of his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but become warm.

But it's too late.

If he was three, five, ten or even twenty years old and could wait for his father to extend his hands to him, he would definitely rush over without hesitation and throw himself into his father's arms.

But now, he is an adult over the age of thirty.

All the hardships he had experienced made it difficult for him to respond to this belated warmth.

The word "Dad" came to his lips, but he turned it over and over again before finally swallowing it back.

Gu Zeyu suppressed the waves in his heart and nodded politely to Bai Yucong.

"...Mr. Bai, nice to meet you."

The sound of "Mr. Bai" was like a huge tree suddenly falling, instantly pressing down Bai Yucong's already slightly humble figure, making him even more dejected.

His son still blames him.

But this is the retribution he deserves.

That year, his wife had a difficult childbirth and his eldest son died.

In the chaos, he lost control of his emotions and was almost defeated by grief, which gave the evildoers an opportunity to take advantage.

It was because of his negligence that the child suffered so much.

No matter what kind of punishment he receives now, it is what he deserves.

Bai Yucong suppressed the bitterness in her heart, withdrew her empty hands in a disguising manner, glanced at the blood on the back of Gu Zeyu's hand, and pressed the pager on the bedside.

"Let me get someone to come and put the needle back in for you."

"Yes, yes, take care of the wound on Zeyu's hand first. Oh, it's all your fault!"

Mrs. Bai then remembered that Gu Zeyu was receiving an IV drip, and she quickly turned around and asked someone to call the doctor. The ward soon became lively late at night. (End of this chapter)
