He Zhichu was still sitting in the car. He looked at Gu Nianzhi quietly from a distance and accompanied her.
Amidst the bustling crowd, her lonely figure was particularly eye-catching.
A chubby little boy ran over with a big marshmallow and handed it to Gu Nianzhi. He said in a childish voice, "Sister, don't cry. I'll give you some candy."
Gu Nianzhi looked up with tears streaming down her face. She saw a little boy of about four or five years old looking at her with concern and holding a big marshmallow in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't really like candy, but looking at the big marshmallow, especially the little boy's big, clear eyes like a deer's, made her cold heart gradually warm up.
This world wasn't so cold and heartless, was it?
She was touched by the kindness of this strange child.
"Thank you." Gu Nianzhi reached out to take it and licked it.
The little boy's eyes were curved when he smiled. His chubby little face was like a real red apple that made people want to take a bite.
Gu Nianzhi stood up and looked around. "Where are your parents?"
The little boy screamed, looked back, and shouted, "PaPa, MaMa!"
Not far away, a young couple who were anxiously looking for their child looked over. "Tongtong!"
The two of them ran over like crazy and hugged the child. "Tongtong! Are you okay?! "
The little boy giggled and shook his head. "I'm fine! I gave her some marshmallow and she cried. She was very sad. After eating the marshmallow, she wasn't sad anymore. "
Gu Nianzhi wiped away her tears in embarrassment and said to the frightened couple, "Thank you, Tongtong. He's a good child."
The young couple saw that Gu Nianzhi was shockingly beautiful and her clothes were neat and tidy. Although the style was ordinary, the quality was very good. They could tell at a glance that she was from a good family.
They breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Tongtong is just naughty. He said he wanted to buy a balloon, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The little boy, Tongtong, remembered the balloon he wanted. He pouted and said unhappily, "I want a big balloon that I can sit in and fly in the sky."
"Tong Tong, don't mess around. That kind of balloon is hard to come by. Besides, even if there is one, Mom and Dad can't afford it." Tong Tong's father patiently reasoned with him.
The four or five-year-old child did not understand the social class difference brought about by wealth. He only understood half of it, but he also knew that he could not sit in a balloon and fly to the sky.
He lowered his head, nodded again, and said, "Alright, then I'll buy a few balloons to hold in my hands."
"Tong Tong is such a good boy!" The couple passionately kissed their son and saw Tong Tong giggling again.
The family of three said goodbye to Gu Nianzhi and went to the balloon stall across the street to buy hydrogen balloons.
Gu Nianzhi looked at them enviously and sighed slightly.
He Zhichu quickly got out of the car when he saw the couple. He was worried about Gu Nianzhi.
However, after seeing that there was no conflict, he didn't come over and just stood nearby.
After the family of three left, He Zhichu walked over to Gu Nianzhi and said, "What else do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. "
Gu Nianzhi licked the marshmallow and thought to herself, when you're feeling bitter, eating more sweets really does make up for it.
She had never liked sweets, but she had a soft spot for this marshmallow.
Although the marshmallow was big, it was actually just an empty shell.
She only ate a few bites, and the huge marshmallow shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gu Nianzhi whispered, "… I want to ride in a hot air balloon. Can you do it?"
He Zhichu's shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed. "Of course."
He had heard the little boy's wish just now.
He Zhichu took out his phone and made a few calls. Not long after, a large hot air balloon flew over the square and landed in an open space nearby.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "I'll ask Tong Tong to ride in the hot air balloon with me. Is that okay?"
He Zhichu nodded. "Let's go find him together?"
The couple had just bought a hydrogen balloon for Tong Tong and had been playing with it for a while when they saw the hot air balloon flying in the sky. Tong Tong's attention was immediately attracted.
This was the balloon he wanted to ride in!
So he shouted and rushed towards the hot air balloon with the other children.
The staff in charge of maintaining order in the square pulled a rope and separated the hot air balloon from the crowd.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and found Tong Tong. She said, "Tong Tong, do you want to ride in a hot air balloon? I can ride with you. "
"Really?! That's great! Thank you, sister! "Tong Tong jumped up happily.
Tong Tong's parents also rushed over and were extremely grateful to Gu Nianzhi. They said, "Miss, you're too kind. There's no need …"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "If you're worried about safety, then forget it. I don't have any other intentions. Tong Tong gave me a marshmallow, so I'm returning the favor. "
The couple looked at each other, then looked down at their son's eager little face. They almost agreed.
But they still had a shred of rationality.
Although Gu Nianzhi didn't look like a bad person, she was still a stranger.
They were worried about leaving their son with her to ride in the hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon wasn't very big, and there were a total of three seats inside. One was for the hot air balloon operator, and the other two were for the passengers. It was impossible to fit their family and Gu Nianzhi in.
They were also too embarrassed to ask Gu Nianzhi not to ride in the hot air balloon and only let their family sit in it.
This hot air balloon belonged to someone else. They weren't so shameless as to treat someone else's things as their own.
However, Tong Tong was so envious that he was on the verge of tears.
Seeing this, He Zhichu took out his identification and waved it at the couple. He said, "It's okay. I'll go up with them. If you need anything, you can look for the He family."
When the couple saw that it was someone from the He family, they immediately felt relieved. They smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Tong Tong. You can ride the hot air balloon with Miss and Mr. He!"
Tong Tong immediately became happy. He held Gu Nianzhi's hand and ran towards the hot air balloon.
He Zhichu followed and let the hot air balloon operator get off. He went to operate the hot air balloon to take off. Gu Nianzhi and Tong Tong sat in the hot air balloon as passengers.
He Zhichu was familiar with piloting the hot air balloon, so he quickly ignited it and took off.
Gu Nianzhi protected Tong Tong in front of her and looked at the crowd in the square with him. Then, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds that were getting closer and closer. Her vision was very wide, and her mood gradually improved. Her smile also became more sincere and refreshing.
What she didn't know was that at that moment, someone took out a high-definition long-range SLR camera and took pictures of the three of them on the hot air balloon.
He Zhichu was handsome and elegant, like an orchid tree.
Gu Nianzhi was delicate and beautiful, like the dew of a begonia.
Tong Tong was lively and cute, just like their child.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, completely enjoying the joy of a family of three.
When the photo was placed in front of He Chengjian, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He wished he could photoshop Tong Tong's profile picture into his grandson's. That would be a real family of three!
..
After getting off the hot air balloon, the couple thanked Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu profusely and left with Tong Tong, who had fulfilled his wish.
He Zhichu saw that Gu Nianzhi's mental state was much better, so he suggested, "Do you want to go to the hospital to see Auntie Qin?"
Gu Nianzhi's eyes instantly dimmed. It was as if impurities had suddenly been mixed into the clear crystal, and it carried a kind of coldness and desolation that came before a storm.
He Zhichu regretted his suggestion and was about to change the topic when Gu Nianzhi said firmly, "Go, I have to get an explanation."
Wen Shouyi said that Qin Yaoguang was her biological mother. Gu Nianzhi didn't want to believe it, but she wouldn't jump to conclusions so easily.
As a very capable lawyer, Gu Nianzhi only believed in logic and evidence.
In fact, she had a premonition that Qin Yaoguang was her biological mother the moment she saw her.
But after spending time with her, she wasn't so sure.
It was very simple. Although there was evidence to prove that Qin Yaoguang was indeed her biological mother because Qin Yaoguang was exactly the same as Gu Xiangwen's wife in the other world, Gu Nianzhi didn't think it made sense logically.
Because she couldn't feel any feelings from Qin Yaoguang that a mother should have. Whether it was love or hate, Qin Yaoguang was very indifferent.
Qin Yaoguang's attitude towards her was like the two of them were strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
This was indeed a little abnormal.
Since she had questions, she had to choose to face them.
Gu Nianzhi never avoided questions.
Pretending to be an ostrich wasn't suitable for someone like her who liked to get to the bottom of everything.
He Zhichu couldn't have asked for more when he saw that Gu Nianzhi was willing to go to the hospital.
He knew that Gu Nianzhi had a knot in her heart, and he didn't want Gu Nianzhi to be depressed because of it.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the Qin Corporation's private hospital." He Zhichu got into the car with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the front passenger seat. Only now did she have the energy to look at the street view of the imperial capital.
Along the way, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help sighing. The gap between the rich and the poor was many times greater here than over there.
The Qin Corporation's private hospital was the most high-end and luxurious private hospital in the entire Huaxia Empire. It had its own branch offices all over the country.
Their headquarters used to be in Z City, but they moved to the imperial capital after Qin Yaoguang got engaged to He Chengjian.
As soon as they arrived, they occupied a very good location in the imperial capital. The hospital was built in a grand manner and was full of postmodern colors. One look and it was obvious that they were extremely wealthy.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car and narrowed her eyes at the two large words "Qin Corporation" on the exquisite carved iron door in front of her. She said, "The Qin family is that rich?"
"Of course." He Zhichu also got out of the car and stood behind her. "Decades ago, the imperial government decided to build a special zone in Z City. When the special zone was designated, one-third of the land belonged to the Qin family. How many times has the land price there increased by now? It's already an astronomical figure. "
