CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 602: MOTHER AND SON ASSESS PEOPLE
The woman moved slightly, then laughed: "You’re here?"
Gu Junming was startled: "Do you remember me?"
"Of course, you carry a unique military aura. I’ve always remembered it!"
"Really." Gu Junming said: "Do you like soldiers?"
"Yes, I do. My husband, although retired, my son is a soldier." The woman laughed: "I’m very proud."
"Your son... is he well?" Gu Junming hesitated before asking.
The woman nodded: "He’s doing well, even though I can’t see him, I know he lives well by his own efforts. I’m relieved. We haven’t seen each other for over twenty years, but he’s always worked hard."
Gu Junming’s heart tightened: "Why not go find him? Your son would miss you."
"I don’t want him to know I’m like this. He might as well think I’m dead. I’m not a particularly useful person either."
Gu Junming choked: "Your son never thought you had to become a distinguished person, he only hoped you’re well."
The woman was startled, then said: "You know my son?"
Gu Junming didn’t speak, he held the woman’s hand tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Maybe it’s the instinct between mother and son, the woman sensed something wrong even though Gu Junming didn’t speak.
She cautiously said: "Is it you? Are you Gu Junming?"
Gu Junming nodded: "It’s me. The woman I brought last time is your daughter-in-law, she’s pregnant. The child is about to be born."
The woman was overjoyed, she wanted to stand up excitedly but her body leaned forward, falling towards the ground.
Gu Junming quickly held his mother: "Mom!"
"Gu Junming!" The woman couldn’t help but sob: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry!"
She kept apologizing, her tears soaked the collar of Gu Junming’s clothes, it’s been so many years, she could imagine her heartbreak having never seen her son.
Gu Junming choked: "Mom, I’m fine, really fine!"
"What are you doing?" A little girl behind asked in surprise, shocked at the sight of the mother and a man, she ran over.
"This is your brother, Niu Niu." The woman pushed the girl.
The girl looked at Gu Junming in astonishment: "You... you’re from the Gu Family..."
"Yes, I’m from the Gu Family." Gu Junming said seriously.
The girl started crying: "Mom! Brother came looking for us?"
The woman patted the girl’s hair: "Yes, your brother did come."
Gu Junming helped his mother and sister to stand, saying: "Now everything is fine, I’m happy to have found you."
"I’m sorry."
"Mom, don’t say sorry anymore. It’s me who owes you."
Niu Niu let the two of them sit outside by the flower bed and went to check the shop, she thought her mother and brother must have a lot to talk about.
Back then, because of his own safety, their father left Liu Weihong and married Wang Guihua, which made Gu Junming really disdain him.
"I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t return until I was twenty-five."
"I knew you have a steadfast spirit." Liu Weihong sat on one side looking ahead, her eyes saw nothing. She wiped her eyes and sighed: "About past events, I don’t want to say much anymore. Let it go. You’ve done very well, I’m proud of you. As for Wang Guihua and Gu Zishan, I don’t want to see them anymore, we have nothing to do with each other."
"My father really wronged you."
"It’s all past. I have marriage and family now. I’m happy that he stayed with me through thick and thin."
Gu Junming nodded: "I understand. Mom. Your eyes and legs can’t be treated anymore?"
"No, it’s been too many years, missed the best treatment time. But rest assured, I’m healthy in other ways and will live to a hundred years, your sister studies well, she’ll definitely get into a good university."
Gu Junming laughed: "Yes, she seems smart."
"Yes, both you and your sister are smart, your wife is good too." The woman thought about her son having a baby, and she was very happy: "Why didn’t she come?"
"She... her stomach hurt, I’ll bring her next time to see you."
"Alright." The woman laughed: "Bring my eldest grandson too!"
Gu Junming agreed.
He stayed with his mother for a long time, then Niu Niu came to invite Gu Junming for dinner: "My dad will be back in a while."
"Can’t do it." Gu Junming looked at his watch: "I’m leaving tonight."
Both of them were startled, Liu Weihong said: "Are you going on a mission?"
"I’m going to the south for a position, once I have a holiday, I’ll come back to see you, alright?"
Liu Weihong nodded, held his hand and patted it: "That’s good! I knew you were good. Is this a promotion then?"
She didn’t dare to think about meeting her son, who would have thought the heavens treated her so well, giving her another chance to meet him, so she was at peace with the upcoming farewell.
As Gu Junming left, Liu Weihong asked her daughter to prepare some milk for Sun Chan: "Let her drink pure milk, and take care of herself."
Niu Niu handed the milk to Gu Junming: "Brother! Sister-in-law looks so beautiful! Surely my little nephew will be handsome."
Gu Junming smiled and nodded, rubbing her hair.
Gu Junming whispered a few words to his mother and then walked away with great strides.
As he left the park gate, he saw his mother’s current husband. That man was first stunned to see Gu Junming, then smiled and nodded.
"You’re here?"
Gu Junming said: "You’ve been taking care of my mom all along, thank you."
"I’ve always loved her, so I guess I took advantage of the situation. I’m sorry."
"How was it taking advantage at all! Without you at that time, my mother might have died." Gu Junming said: "My mom deserves happiness. Thank you very much." Gu Junming said and saluted the man.
The man was deeply touched, his eyes reddened.
Gu Junming didn’t feel particularly moved, past events were past, no one can constantly dwell on the past.
Both parents have their own lives now, but he instructed Sun Chan to pay more attention to Liu Weihong when possible.
Sun Chan said: "I’ll have my mom send some things over. Clothes, food, and books, isn’t your sister going to take the college entrance exam?"
When Gu Junming left, there wasn’t anyone seeing him off, he had grown used to Sun Chan seeing him off, it wasn’t comfortable this time, but thinking about his child coming in a few months, a sense of happiness welled within him.
Gu Zishan learned of the reunion between Liu Weihong and Gu Junming from a call.
He felt very upset inside, but he didn’t dare to face her.
Although Liu Weihong never talked about her matter, since she has a husband and daughter, naturally she doesn’t want to see him. So the sadness and apology could only be buried inside. Not long after, he fell ill due to it.
