Shuxin didn't quite believe Shu Mengling's words, but after all, she was her mother. Shu Mengling's words gave her a glimmer of hope.
Maybe her mother was really not dead.
When Shuxin got home, Shu Youkang hadn't come back yet. She went upstairs to Cao Guifang's room. "Grandma."
"Xin 'er, you're off work." Cao Guifang glanced at Shuxin and continued to stare at the TV screen. "Come and watch the opera with me."
"Okay." Shuxin sat down next to Cao Guifang. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Grandma, is my mother still alive?"
Cao Guifang's expression froze. She turned to look at Shuxin in surprise. "How did you know?"
Cao Guifang's expression and answer were telling her that Shuxin's mother was still alive.
Shuxin was very excited. Her eyes sparkled. "Where is my mother?"
Cao Guifang seemed to realize what she had said and quickly corrected herself. "Your mother died of a hemorrhage when she gave birth to you."
"Grandma, if you don't want to tell me, I'll ask my father when he comes back from work."
"Don't ask." Cao Guifang was a little anxious. "If you ask, your father will be sad again."
"Then tell me the truth." Shu Xin's face was firm.
Cao Guifang frowned. "Xin 'er, we're doing this for your own good. Don't ask. You're almost 20 years old. Aren't you living well without your mother?"
"It has nothing to do with living well. She's my mother. Shouldn't I know about her? Have you ever seen a daughter who doesn't know whether her mother is alive or dead? "Shuxin held Cao Guifang's hand." Grandma, I want to know the truth. "
Cao Guifang was silent for a moment. "I can tell you, but you can't go to her."
Shuxin was silent for two seconds and nodded.
"Swear." Cao Guifang's expression was very serious. Nineteen years ago, that woman left and took away her son's heart. Now, her son finally got over it and put all his love on Shuxin. If Shuxin left again, what would her son do?
Shuxin was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Cao Guifang to make such a request. "Grandma …"
"I swear!"
Shuxin and Cao Guifang looked at each other for a few seconds. "… Alright, I swear I won't look for her."
Cao Guifang was relieved. She looked at the window, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her weathered face. After a long while, she said, "Your mother is indeed not dead. She left with another man when you were two months old. After that, there was no news of her. No one knows where she is."
Shuxin didn't expect that what Shu Mengling said was true. Her mother really abandoned her husband and children for another man.
At that moment, Shuxin didn't know what to feel. She was a little sad, a little angry, but more than that, she felt heartache. Heartache that Shu Youkang was abandoned.
Shuxin thought of the stupid thing she did previously. She actually severed ties with Shu Youkang for that jerk Xiao Ruize. He must have been very sad at that time.
He was abandoned by his wife when he was young, and now he was abandoned by his daughter when he was old.
At this moment, Shu Xin wanted to slap herself.
Cao Guifang's voice continued to ring in her ear. "Your father loved your mother deeply. Back then, he married Jiang Tingrou because of you. You were too young for a man like him to take care of you. Your father loved you and was afraid that you would be sad if you knew the truth, so he kept it from you. Just pretend you don't know about this, lest your father worries about you again. "
