CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 598 BAI FANGLAN COMPLETELY COLLAPSES

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom..." the little girl called out.

Bai Fanglan snapped irritably, "Go by yourself! How old are you? Do you still need me to accompany you to the bathroom?"

"Mom, I feel uncomfortable... I really feel so awful..."

"Shut up!" Bai Fanglan shouted, "I’m busy making dinner for you, why are you whining? Where can you find a useless thing like you!"

She then ignored her, continuing to cook, her mind occupied with thoughts on how to deal with Gu Junming, as it wasn’t long until their departure time. How could she manage it? They were already on guard.

So sneaking into their house wasn’t possible anymore, then what to do?

While she was contemplating, she suddenly noticed the child’s crying outside had stopped. Initially relieved, she assumed the child had fallen asleep, let her sleep then. Finally, no more crying, what was the point! Just a useless thing.

Old Master Bai’s departure was too sudden, so he never got the chance to tell Bai Fanglan that this little girl wouldn’t live for many years, she was very frail and needed careful attention, but he felt troubled not knowing how to tell his daughter. Moreover, Bai Fanglan’s expression was too frightening, so he didn’t want to provoke her and never mentioned it, hoping to find another opportunity.

When Bai Fanglan finished cooking, she went to check on her daughter, only to find the little girl lying under the sofa, having peed everywhere, motionless. Bai Fanglan rushed over, grabbed her collar, and slapped her twice.

"What are you doing! Are you still a girl? How can you pee here? Is this how grandpa educated you!"

Dead silence, the child didn’t cry out in fear or say anything, just hung her head limp.

Bai Fanglan was terrified, instinctively reaching out to feel her nose, then her neck, no reaction, her little body was cold, she was gone.

Bai Fanglan, frightened, threw her aside, dropping her onto the sofa, and the ugly, pitiable, frail little child just died like that.

She didn’t even have a name, had never received any parental affection. Bai Fanglan didn’t know what the girl liked to eat, never bought her a toy, and she just died like that.

Bai Fanglan stood there, staring blankly at the little girl’s corpse, unable to believe it, how could she just die like that?

Suddenly, she went insane, grabbing her daughter and running out, she hadn’t made a sound and it hadn’t been more than ten minutes, it couldn’t be! She hailed a cab and went to the children’s hospital, a doctor checked and told her to give up, saying the child was dead.

Bai Fanglan screamed, "Impossible! She was doing fine just now, she kept saying she was uncomfortable..."

The doctor often saw this little girl, then told her the girl indeed felt awful, her body was too weak, wasn’t healthy at birth, and with delayed treatment, couldn’t have lived for many days.

"Was the elderly gentleman your grandfather? We informed him of this, she wouldn’t live past primary school, advised him to come to terms with it. Though her passing is rather sudden, it’s also considered normal. Try to move on."

Bai Fanglan nearly fainted, her body trembling like a sieve, the child was thus placed in the morgue.

No one prepared a funeral for the child, after Bai Fanglan cremated her, she returned home to lie down, she was very tired but couldn’t sleep, her mind full of thoughts about the child.

Her origins, her birth, and her own experiences, her tears kept falling.

She remembered being a teenager, it was the first time a boy gave her a love letter in class. He was a pale, clean-looking boy, not well off, but a decent person, she dismissively tossed it aside.

She said, "Do you deserve me?"

She was a martyr’s daughter, her grandfather a high official, her future bright and limitless. She would marry a leader, live a pampered life, be chauffeured, have a child, nurture well, her life would be extremely happy.

How had she ended up like this, living in misery, her beauty faded, birthing a bastard only for it to die. Alienated from everyone.

Bai Fanglan covered her face but couldn’t cry, she felt her entire life, was probably just like this.

Suddenly she lifted her head, filled with resentment, wondering why others lived happily while she had such a miserable life?

Gu Junming and others were oblivious to all this, they packed their luggage, and departure time was imminent.

Her belly was quite big now, and fearing she might have an issue, they decided to first let Gu Junming go, then Sun Chan after giving birth. Sun Chan was reluctant to agree, "If I have the baby, then sit the month and take care of the baby, how much time will be wasted? I have no problem going along, I can have the baby over there too. Also, Gu Junmin should know how hard it is to be a mom."

Gui Junming couldn’t bear to be separated from Sun Chan for that long and agreed to let her come along, "Our unit will send a car, drive slowly then, bring blankets to lean back on the seat, and it should be fine. Besides, Han Dong is going south too, he has a car, and his car is the most comfortable, he could carry her a bit."

Sun Chan still wanted to take the train, but everyone vetoed that, trains were crowded, stuffy, with packed carriages, making going to the bathroom difficult, absolutely not viable. Sun Chan thought about it, trains at that time hadn’t increased speed yet, they were slow, congested, suffocating hot, her body couldn’t take it, so she decided against it.

Zhao Jieyun was ultimately uneasy, discussed with her husband, decided to accompany, "Giving birth is like facing death’s door. I retired from my job, I want to take care of Sun Chan for a while, until she’s through the month, then I’ll return."

Yang Dongfeng felt a bit reluctant, but knowing it was necessary didn’t object, so said, "Then go ahead, I’ll take care of things at home."

"Yes, get along well with Gu Zishan, he’s lonely now, not easy."

"Don’t worry, I often visit him, we play chess and hike, it’s great."

Zhao Jieyun sighed, "These couple of years have really seen too many events. All my ambitions are gone."

"True enough. Try to move on." These past two years, they found their youngest daughter, lost their beloved eldest daughter, and both retired from their work, it was rather distressing.

But fortunately now everything is moving in a positive direction, it’s quite good.

The new generation was about to be born, they could have new support and solace.

That night, before Gu Junming and his wife’s departure, everyone gathered at a restaurant to bid them farewell.

Except for the elders of both families, Gu Juntao didn’t come, Yang Hongying came alone, Sister Guihua, Yang Liu and Yang Zhen couple, Wang Hu, and Tian Jian were all busy with their own matters, their wives either pregnant or taking care of children, couldn’t make it. Unfortunately, they had to miss it.
