Chapter 207: From Now On, There's No Mama Anymore

d a lot of money to promote their own artists. Liao Liao will be giving a speech on stage soon, calling for attention to the plight of women and children who have been abducted. It is said that the s...The nurse didn't expect her condition to take such a dramatic turn for the better. She was naturally delighted that the patient had a will to live. 。Okay, I'll buy it for you right away. 。“Although this wasn't within her responsibilities, as a woman and as a mother and daughter herself, she could understand her. Not only did she buy milk, but also eggs, cake, and a small bag of fruit.” 。

Thank you 。Shū Tínglan was deeply moved. She leaned against the headboard, forcing herself to eat a little bit at a time, trying to be strong. 。

"That's right, taking care of your own health is the greatest comfort you can give to your family." 。"The nurse went to attend to other patients and came back to encourage her, waiting to accompany her to sign the paperwork for cremation." 。The nurse was very kind and looked about her age. She stayed by her side the whole time, helping her with her mother's funeral arrangements. 。Shu Tinglan only learned later that the nurse had already finished her shift and had sacrificed her own rest time to stay and keep her company. 。Kindness from strangers is the most touching. 。Shu Tinglan cried while holding his mother's body, and the nurse wept silently beside him. 。"Mom, you rest for a few months first and then come back to my tummy. We made a promise, remember" 。"

This life you've worked hard, next life I'll take care of you, you must find me, don't get lost." 。She talked incessantly for a long time, until the nurse gently patted her shoulder, signaling that it was time. Only then did she let go and allow the staff to push Mom in. 。The whole process was quick, and in the end, all that was left was a handful of ashes, put into a small box. She held it tightly to her chest, but the pain in her heart remained. 。From now on, she's an orphan. Whatever the future holds, good or bad, she'll face it alone. 。After saying goodbye to the nurse, she checked out and drove back to her hotel. 。Knowing that Mom's last wish was to be returned to Qingshan, she plans to take her ashes back to Qingshan for burial. 。When she left Senzhou, there were two people. Now that she was on the road again, it was just her alone. 。She fixed her mother's ashes in the passenger seat, wrapped them tightly with tape, and fastened her seatbelt, pretending her mother was still there. 。From Hu'an City to Qining City, over a thousand kilometers. If she drove straight through, it would take a day and night, but she planned to take her time. She wanted to continue treating it like a trip with her mother, so whenever they came across a beautiful spot, she would pull over, open the window, and imagine her mother sitting in the passenger seat, breathing in the fresh air with her and enjoying the scenery. 。When she came across delicious snacks, she would buy two portions, eating one herself and giving the other to her mother. Of course, the portion for her mother also ended up in her own stomach. 。After traveling for about half a month, stopping and starting along the way, they finally reached Qining. 。Back at Qining, her state of mind was completely different. The four words "things are different, people are different" couldn't describe her current feelings at all. If she had to say it, it would be more like rebirth. 。She found a beautiful place with clear mountains and streams to bury her mother. Then, she went to the gynecology department of the hospital for a physical examination and registration. After leaving the hospital, she went straight to the barbershop and cut her long hair short. She also changed her contact lenses to thick black-rimmed glasses and changed her phone number, canceling all her previous communication methods such as WeChat. 。It's not that I'm intentionally avoiding anyone or deliberately trying to make myself look bad. It's more about starting a completely new way of life, severing ties with the past entirely. 。Shutinglan, come on! she encouraged herself silently. 。After winter comes, the Spring Festival is just around the corner. 。

This year's Spring Festival is special for Zhuo Hong as he has been successfully transferred back to the capital. This marks his first New Year celebration back in Beijing after many years working outside the city. Zhuo Hong's subordinates and colleagues have all flocked to his door to offer their congratulations. 。When the Zhu family arrives at Chinese New Year, it's always the most lively one. This year is even more so than ever before. 。The entrance to the Siheyuan courtyard of the Zhuo family was almost worn out, these days with the promotion of integrity and frugality, the custom of visiting had changed. People wouldn't bring inappropriate gifts anymore. Several officials' wives who frequently interacted with Cheng Zhimin volunteered to host banquets for them. Some brought their own cooks to cook, others brought local specialties from their hometowns. One wife, whose hometown was Xinjiang, even brought a whole sheep, claiming it was raised by her family in her hometown and airlifted to Beijing after being slaughtered just that day, so she specially brought it to show respect to Mr. Zhuo. 。。It's all too fake. These pampered wives of officials are now all jumping on the bandwagon of austerity and thrift, even dressing like peasant women to improve their husbands' image. They're buying bags for a few hundred dollars now, those hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollar bags are gathering dust at the bottom of the closet. It's so hypocritical and boring. 。"Mr. Cheng, you've lost quite a bit of weight recently." 。One of the ladies-in-waiting said 。"Busy with work"

She simply replied that she had once been through life and death, without saying a word. 。> “Where’s Yu An this time Their company's new product is really good, it’s just that I’m not very smart and I don’t know how to use some of the features. I was hoping to see him today and ask him for some tips.” 。When it came to Zhu Yu'an, Cheng Zhimin's face inevitably changed slightly. Given his current coldness towards the Zhu family, he probably wouldn't appear here again in this lifetime. 。The nanny beside them, seeing that the several visionless officials' wives were about to ask, quickly interjected: "What dishes are you all planning to make I'll go prepare..." 。

Successfully diverted their attention. 。Cheng Zhimin sat silently, sipping tea. He recalled the last time he saw his son, the day after his divorce, at the airport. Zhuo Yu'an was waiting at the gate, wearing sunglasses that hid any expression on his face. 。She asked tentatively, "Going abroad"

He acted as if he hadn't heard, getting up to check in, his entire demeanor aloof and cold, treating her like air. After that, she never saw him again. 。At this time, Lu Yaoyao was also sitting among these official wives, but she had always been fearless. She kept her head down playing games. When she heard them mention Zhuo Yu'an, she raised her eyes to glance at Teacher Cheng and then bowed her head back to the game, a hint of mockery on her face. 。Her own son is in so much pain from the divorce that he's vomiting blood, and she knows nothing of it She only cares about her own goals being successful. 。Likewise, Lu Kuo in the main living room was filled with sarcasm and disdain. He listened to the elders' high-flown discussions in the living room, feeling a bit agitated. He simply put on his headphones and bowed his head to play games, not even bothering with the usual pretense he had shown in previous years. 。In the evening, Old Master Zhu left him alone to question him.

“Has Yu’an contacted you”

“No” 。He answered, truthfully saying that after going abroad, Zhuo Yu'an had not contacted anyone else. 。The phone was always unreachable, WeChat messages never replied. He could only find out through his overseas secretary Cui Jie that he was still alive. 。The old man's energy isn't what it used to be, he's starting to show his age. He used to speak slowly and deliberately, but now even slower. He sits there watching Lu Kuo"Help him..." 。"Grandpa, I can't help him." 。You don't know what this marriage meant to him, you destroyed him with your own hands. 。After Lu Kuò finished speaking, he bid farewell and got up to leave. 。The last few chapters have been really heartbreaking. I often find myself crying while writing, and I feel so sorry for Xiao Shushu and for all of you. I'm so sorry that I've made you sad. 。From tomorrow, a new journey begins, and later on, President Zhu will chase his wife to the crematorium... Thank you to those who have always been by my side. 。
