Coincidentally, the day she passed away was also the day of her husband’s death.
It could be said that although they weren’t born in the same year, the same month, the same day, they both wished to die in the same month, the same day.
When her parents passed away, Gu Manxi was alone and lost all hope.
At that time, Song Chen’s “fiancée”, Cheng Qingyun, returned suddenly. Gu Manxi left Song Chen without a trace of nostalgia. She could not see where her future was. The future was filled with confusion. She had even thought of finding a place where no one was around to quietly die.
However, she discovered that she was pregnant.
There was fresh hope in her, lighting up her bleak future. She had finally found a new direction in her life.
...
Gu Manxi slowly told the story of the past.
Unknowingly, tears had already flowed down her face.
Other than feeling heartache, Song Chen also felt pain. He held Gu Manxi’s hand and did not know how to comfort her.
“In the future, I will protect you and Chuchu,” Song Chen said seriously.
Gu Manxi looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I’m doing quite well now... really.”
Chuchu had grown up healthy. She had found her biological brother and had a bunch of noblemen by her side to help her. Her career was prospering day by day. This was the peaceful day that she had always dreamed of. Even if there were some disturbances, as long as the person she cherished was still by her side, her future would always be bright and radiant.
After her parents passed away, she walked alone, and she yearned for sincere care.
So, later, her biological mother, Tang Chunxiu, came to find her. Although Gu Manxi had a lot of doubts in her heart, she still followed her biological mother to the living hell known as the capital without hesitation, almost beyond redemption.
People who did not know the situation would say that she was stupid and could not recognize the bad guys. However, only Gu Manxi knew that she was a person who lacked love deep down in her bones. She was like a traveler who had been traveling in the desert for a long time. As long as she was given even the slightest bit of water, she was willing to chase after this tiny sliver of hope.
The night was slightly cold. This was the first time Gu Manxi and Song Chen had opened up their hearts.
The long-standing estrangement between the two was slowly melting away.
Song Chen suddenly thought of something. “Manxi, the town you used to live in is now called An Le Town, right?”
“Yes.” Gu Manxi nodded.
Song Chen felt that the name sounded quite familiar. It seemed that before Cheng Qingyun was brought back to the Cheng family, the town she lived in was also called An Le town. When Song Chen was young, he followed his grandfather to this town to inspect the environment. At that time, the Song family had just entered the tourism industry and wanted to find a small town with beautiful scenery to develop into a tourist town.
An Le town was one of the alternative towns. Song Chen was still young and was already learning business from adults.
However, due to financial reasons, he later gave up on this project.
Song Chen faintly sensed the truth was within his reach. As long as he waved his hand, he would be able to clear away the fog.
Song Chen said, “Manxi, when you were young, did you ever hear of a tourist town–”
“Cough cough–”
An untimely cough sounded.
Song Chen looked up and saw Lu Shanhe’s tall and thin figure. Lu Shanhe yawned and said, “Mr. Song, I’m helping Mr. Zhao Yan pass on a message. He wants you to hurry home and stop flirting with his sister here.”
Song Chen stared at him faintly. “You didn’t leave, so why should I leave?”
Lu Shanhe clicked his tongue. “Of course, I’m leaving. Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you? I just called Jiang Cheng, and he’ll pick me up at the door in ten minutes. Song Chen, you’d better leave. What’s the point of staying here? If you still refuse to leave, I think Zhao Yan will pick up his broom and chase you away.”
