Departure

The next day, Gu Qingming packed her bags.

Mrs. Gu grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with worry. She kept instructing, “Ming’er, I’ll get the bodyguards to send you, no, I’ll send you to Grandma’s house personally.”

Gu Qingming immediately refused, “Mom, let the bodyguards send me there.”

Although it would have been good for her mother to go to her grandmother’s house with her, she didn’t want her mother to go to her house and come back red-eyed.

Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said tentatively, “Mom, if you miss Grandma and Grandpa, shall we go together?”

Mrs. Gu’s expression changed again. She shook her head and said, “Then let the bodyguards send you over. After you have settled down, I’ll go over to see you.”

Gu Qingming nodded in disappointment. “Alright.”

She couldn’t help but look disappointed.

She had no idea what was bothering her mother and why her mother was so resistant to going back to her mother’s house.

Her grandmother’s family was obviously very nice. They were good to her mother and even better to her.

Mrs. Gu instructed again, “Daughter, I’ve called your uncle and the others. They’re very happy that you went to their place and even said that they would definitely take good care of you.”

After a slight pause, she said hesitantly, “I told your uncle about your pregnancy.”

The child in Gu Qingming’s stomach had an unknown father. If word got out, it would definitely attract a lot of strange looks.

However, Gu Qingming would be living in the countryside for so long, so this matter definitely couldn’t be hidden. There were so many people in her family. If Gu Qingming, who was pregnant, accidentally hurt herself, it would be too late for regrets.

Therefore, she had to tell her family to take good care of Gu Qingming.

Gu Qingming was indifferent. She smiled. “So be it, Mom.”

Besides, if she wanted to give birth to this child openly, she naturally needed to make preparations in advance.

Mrs. Gu nodded and said earnestly, “Daughter, since you’re determined to give birth to this child, I can only support you. However, you have to remember that after the child is born, you can’t let the child suffer any grievances. Otherwise, you won’t be worthy of being a mother.”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Mom, from the moment I decided to keep the child, I’ve been regarding the child as my life. I definitely won’t mistreat him.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu felt both relief and sadness. She was relieved that her daughter was responsible. But she was sad that the child had already occupied such an important position in his daughter’s heart before she was even born. Even her parents had been pushed aside.

Mrs. Gu’s eyes were a little red. She patted her daughter’s shoulder and nodded. “My precious daughter is finally sensible.”

She turned around and instructed, “Your maternal grandmother, uncle, and cousin are all quite easy to get along with. They dote on you very much, and I’m not worried that you’ll suffer. It’s just that your body is not as healthy as usual. If there are issues, you have to lie in bed and rest, understand?”

Mrs. Gu rambled for a long time, expressing her concern and reluctance to part with her daughter.

She sometimes wished she could go home with her daughter, but she couldn’t bear to leave her husband.

Ever since the couple got married, other than Gu Jianguo going on business trips, they had never been separated.

Gu Qingming listened attentively and remembered.

She knew her mother meant well.

After some time, Mrs. Gu frowned and said worriedly, “I think I’ll go with you.”

Beside him, Gu Jianguo immediately panicked.

“Honey, if you go to your mother’s house with your daughter, what will happen to me?” Gu Jianguo looked at his wife with obvious sorrow and grievance. “Are you really going to abandon me?”

Gu Qingming was speechless. Caught off guard, she could only grimace at her parents’ public display of affection.

But she was used to it.

Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, was embarrassed. She had better stay with her husband.

As for her daughter, she had bodyguards to send her off along the way. When they arrived at Stoneback Village, her family would take care of her. There was nothing for her to worry about.

However, Mrs. Gu blushed and glared at Gu Jianguo angrily. “What’s wrong with you? You have hands and feet. Do you want me to serve you all day?”

Gu Jianguo said aggrievedly, “But without you around, I can’t even eat well.”

“Alright, aren’t you embarrassed to say this in front of your daughter?” Mrs. Gu said angrily.

Gu Qingming shrugged and said, “Mom, I’m already used to it. When you flirt with Dad, you would disregard me completely.”

Mrs. Gu blushed again.

Father Gu was thick-skinned and only smiled.

Immediately, he looked at the time and said, “Honey, it’s time for our daughter to leave. Otherwise, it’ll be too late to get there.”

Mrs. Gu nodded reluctantly. “Alright!”

Then, she instructed, “Your father and I will visit you when we have time!”

After all, she was their only child and had been cherished since she was young. It was also the first time they had been separated for so long. She really couldn’t bear to part with her. But children grew up and couldn’t stay with them forever.

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Dad, Mom, take care at home!”

Mr. and Mrs. Gu watched their daughter’s car leave with reluctance and worry in their eyes.

A moment later, another low-key luxury car drove into the villa.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at each other tacitly.

“Dad, Mom?”

After the sedan was parked, a well-maintained middle-aged and elderly couple quickly got out. However, they had some white hair at their temples. One was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and leaning on a cane, looking very dignified. The other was wearing a purple cheongsam. Although she was a little old, her figure was still very good. She had the temperament and elegance of a cheongsam.

Except when they came down…

“Granddaughter, granddaughter…”

They got out of the car and started looking for their precious granddaughter.

“Dad, Mom, didn’t you go on a trip? Why are you back?” Gu Jianguo asked curiously.

Gu Licheng and his wife looked around but did not see anyone.

Grandma Gu immediately asked, “Where’s my precious granddaughter? Ming’er, Ming’er, my precious granddaughter…”

Gu Licheng looked at Gu Jianguo’s face and immediately revealed anger. He shouted and questioned, “How can I travel in peace after such a big thing happened to my granddaughter? How could you let my granddaughter suffer so much? ”

“Dad, I…” Gu Jianguo was about to explain.

Grandma Gu asked anxiously, “Brat, where did my precious granddaughter go? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my precious granddaughter, I won’t let you off.”

Mrs. Gu immediately comforted her. “Mom, don’t worry. Ming’er is fine.”

“Where is she now?”

“She… she’s gone to her grandmother’s house to recuperate.”
