Outside the rehabilitation center's ward, a man with short, silver-white hair sat on the sofa in the corridor. In his arms was a little boy playing Tetris on a game console.
The little boy was wearing a black suit with a red bow tie around his neck. He looked delicate and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, you shouldn't put this here …"
"Then put it here …" The silver-haired man dragged the Tetris on the tablet patiently.
The little boy slapped his hand away mercilessly and said angrily, "No, no … Uncle, why are you so stupid?"
With a creak, Carey opened the door. "Sinian, the gauze removal is done."
"How is it?" Gu Sinian looked up abruptly with concern in his eyes.
"Come and see for yourself."
Before Carey could finish speaking, the little boy in Gu Sinian's arms had already stepped on his knee, jumped to the ground, and rushed into the ward. The poor tablet flew out of Gu Sinian's hands the moment he jumped and hit his head hard.
A heavy groan sounded in the corridor.
Carey couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He covered his mouth and lowered his head.
In this world, the only person who could be so rude to Gu Sinian was Gu Yao.
In the ward, the female patient sat facing the window. The sunlight from the window shone on her face, creating a soft halo.
The little boy ran in and shouted sweetly at the figure, "Mommy …"
She turned around and revealed a brilliant smile with her back to the light. "Nao Nao …"
"Mommy …" Naonnao's eyes widened and he froze on the spot.
"What's wrong?" The female patient looked doubtfully at Nao Nao, who did not dare to approach. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes. She subconsciously touched her face and asked cautiously, "Mommy, am I very, very ugly?"
Naonnao, who was stunned, shook his head desperately. He suddenly came back to his senses and dove into her arms. He exclaimed, "Mommy, you're so beautiful. Mommy, you're the most beautiful Mommy in the world!"
Gu Sinian followed closely behind Naonnao. Looking at his sister who seemed to have gained a new life, his lips curled into a gratified smile. She had suffered too much in the past five years. Now, it was finally over.
Back then, if he hadn't found out that the car had been tampered with in advance and sent people to search the bottom of the valley at the first opportunity and rescued Ye Huanyan from the car, who had been washed downstream by the water from upstream, two lives would have been lost.
However, her face had been burned due to the car explosion. Over the past five years, she had undergone nearly two hundred skin grafts to repair her face. Her face had completely changed, and she looked like a completely different person.
Ye Huanyan was carrying Naonnao. She looked up and saw Gu Sinian come in. She stared at his forehead in confusion and asked, "Brother, what happened to your head?"
Hearing this, Gu Sinian held his forehead and said carelessly, "It's nothing. I just bumped into it. It's your birthday party tomorrow. I've already chosen the clothes for you. Since the wound on your face is healed, do you want to change the theme of the masquerade party?"
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, she smiled faintly. "No need. Let's talk about it next year. We don't have to go through so much trouble."
Ever since she had returned five years ago, the Gu family had been thinking of ways to make up for all the things she had lost over the years. From the small things like food and clothing to the big things like her advanced studies and birthday parties every year, the whole family had worked together to take care of her no matter how big or small the matter was.
Because of her disfigurement, she did not like to go out. During her first birthday party, her mother, Wen Yi, and father, Gu Heng, had planned a masquerade party. It was not only to introduce her identity as the second daughter of the Gu family to everyone, but also to protect her from revealing her true appearance.
After that, her birthday party was held like this every year. All the relatives and friends of the Gu family knew that this second daughter didn't like to show her face. She was doted on by her parents and the masquerade party every year was extremely luxurious.
The venue for this year's birthday party was an uninhabited island in Floren State.
"By the way, Mom and Dad don't know about my successful surgery yet. Brother, don't tell them first. I want to give them a surprise."
Ye Huanyan seemed to have thought of something and a sly look appeared in her eyes.
Gu Sinian raised his eyebrows. "Okay, I'll help you keep it a secret."
The pain of disfigurement wasn't only Ye Huanyan's pain, but also the pain of her biological parents all these years.
It was the first time she saw her daughter with severe burns on her face. If it wasn't for her father comforting her that there was a way to fix it, her mother would have cried until she fainted.
The Four Seasons Villa was one of the ten famous villas in the world. It was also the only private villa among the ten. It was located on a small island in the southern part of the United States. The villa had the island as its boundary and contracted the entire island. It was a private villa that a duke spent 50 years to build in the last century.
Now, it was the Gu family's private territory.
Everyone in the Gu family lived there.
In a small detached bungalow in the West Court of the villa, a sweet-looking girl threw a pink dress on the ground. As if she couldn't vent her anger, she stomped on it twice more.
"Is this the work of that designer? You want me to use this piece of cloth to compare with that ugly freak at the birthday party? Don't you know how much the dress Brother Sinian prepared for her is worth? 10 million US dollars … "
The Maid in a black servant uniform knelt on the ground and trembled. She didn't dare to say a word.
The woman glared at her fiercely. "Tell that designer that there must be cut emeralds and South African diamonds on my dress. The more expensive and gorgeous the better!"
The Maid held the bundle of clothes and trembled as she left the house. She could still hear the sound of the woman smashing things in the house.
"What kind of stupid masquerade party is this? She's ugly, so she thinks she can hide her ugly face and wear expensive clothes. I'm the Second Miss of the Gu family. I'm the real one."
When the Maid went out with the bundle of clothes, she bumped into the Young Master, Gu Sinian, who had just returned from the airport. She was so scared that her hands trembled and the gauzy dress fell to the ground.
Gu Sinian frowned. He picked up the dress and handed it to the Maid. "Linda, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Linda looked back and quickly shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just that Miss Duo doesn't like this dress. I'll tell the designer to change it."
Hearing this, Gu Sinian looked at Linda in confusion. When he saw the bloodstain on her neck, his face suddenly sank. "Did Duo Duo fight with you again?"
"No." The Maid quickly shook her head. She took the dress and wanted to leave.
"It's just a dress. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?" Gu Sinian's face sank again.
At dinner time, the Gu family sat at the long table to eat. Gu Heng sat in the middle. On his left sat his beautiful and gentle wife, Wen Yi. On his right was Gu Sinian. Next to Wen Yi sat Gu Duo. She was attentively picking food for Wen Yi and calling her 'Mommy' affectionately.
