Chapter 18

"Mom, isn't the company busy during this time?" Gu Mingrong asked strangely.

Usually at times like this, Gu Liubai would still stay in the company, and would never leave work so early.

And this is no longer just once or twice occasionally, but since the New Year, they have been going home very early.

Although she was happy that Gu Liubai was at home, she inevitably had some doubts in her heart.

In her eyes, Gu Liubai is a workaholic!

"It's okay." Gu Liubai moved a small stool and sat in the yard peeling broad beans.

This scene reminded Gu Mingrong of that time last year.

At that time, she vaguely felt that her mother was different. Time passed by, how quickly the days passed!

And she is about to face the college entrance examination.

"Mom, what major do you think I'm going to study in college? Do you have any good suggestions?"

After spending so much time together, she trusted Gu Liubai unconditionally.

"Whatever you want to choose, I will support you." Gu Liubai said in a deep voice, paying attention to Mrs. Liang who fell asleep on the recliner from time to time.

Gu Mingrong bent down, touched Gu Liubai's neck, and said coquettishly, "Oh, it's so hard to choose! It's so hard to choose!"

Gu Liubai pursed her lips and snickered, the current Gu Mingrong is the same as she used to be, she is dazzled by the majors in the university, and she doesn't know how to choose.

Later, I was still influenced by the TV series, seeing the young ladies in suits and looking heroic, so I plunged into the financial team.

Thinking about it now, why did I choose this major in the first place?

Thinking deeply, Gu Mingrong, who was hugging her neck, suddenly panicked: "Sister...sister! Grandma is vomiting blood!"

Gu Liubai immediately dropped the broad beans in his hand, carried Mrs. Liang on his back and rushed to the hospital without even noticing that he was still wearing slippers.

Panting and running to the hospital, she realized that Gu Mingrong followed her all the way. After so long, her body was still shaking.

"... Mom... Grandma, she... She... This is... What's wrong?"

Gu Mingrong held back his tears, not letting them fall, feeling an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart.

She was afraid that Mrs. Liang would leave her. Although there would be such a day sooner or later, she didn't want it to be now. Mrs. Liang hadn't witnessed her growth and she hadn't seen her enter the university campus yet.

She can't just leave her like this!
Looking for something in the crowd, she suddenly saw Gu Liubai, as if grabbing the last straw, she threw herself on Gu Liubai.

He choked up and said, "Sister, I have always regarded you as a god, are you a god? Can you save Grandma Liang, I don't want her to leave me! You save her!"

Gu Liubai's heart was not peaceful either, she looked at Gu Mingrong, and stretched out her fingertips to wipe the tears on Gu Mingrong's face.

"Mingrong, I'm not a god, you can't pin your hopes on me, I'm the same as you, I don't want old lady Liang to leave."

Gu Liubai shook his head, watched the doctor push Mrs. Liang into the operating room, took Gu Mingrong's hand, and sat down on the stool beside her.

Two people rely on each other and keep each other warm.

Mrs. Liang said that she was lonely, so why not she and Gu Mingrong.

It is precisely because three lonely people come together that the chemical reaction that occurs is far more indestructible than the bond of family affection.

As time passed, Gu Liubai calmed down. She kept looking at the door of the operating room, hoping that good news would come from inside.

"Boom!"

The operating door was pushed open from the inside, and the doctor came out drenched in sweat.

"Doctor, how is my grandma?!" Gu Mingrong asked anxiously.

The doctor rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face: "The operation was successful, but the old man, after all, is getting old, and every function of the body is deteriorating. Fortunately, you sent it in time, but..."

The doctor hesitated to speak, Gu Liubai let out a long sigh, as if he could guess what the doctor would say next.

"But what?" Gu Mingrong grabbed the doctor's hand, his fingertips turned white, and clasped deeply on the doctor's wrist.

"As long as a person gets old, all kinds of problems will come to him. The old man's body, the disease is nothing, let her take good care of it in the future."

After saying this, he pulled his wrist from Gu Mingrong's hand, turned and left.

"...Sister? The doctor...what does he mean? Grandma, will she die?"

Gu Liubai felt sore in her heart, especially Gu Mingrong, her voice made her feel even more desolate.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." She comforted Gu Mingrong: "It's okay, as long as we take good care of grandma, she will live a long life!"

Gu Mingrong nodded, buried his face in Gu Liubai's arms, his suppressed emotions screamed and screamed on her body.

Gu Liubai stroked her back: "It's good to let it out, but after that, I can't show such an expression in front of Grandma Liang again."

"Ok, I know."

Gu Mingrong hugged Gu Liubai tightly, and buzzed, "Sister, I've made up my mind, I want to study medicine!"

Gu Liubai's hand on her back froze, and he paused for a few seconds to continue stroking.

"Mingrong, I know you're afraid that Grandma Liang will leave, that's why you have such an idea, but I don't want you to gamble your life on this momentary impulse."

The 15-year-old girl in front of her eyes already has the prototype of an adult.

Gu Liubai almost forgot that no matter how old she was, she was still a child who hadn't grown up.

Putting his hand on the top of Gu Mingrong's head, like a mother, stroking gently.

"So, Mingrong, you have to think clearly. Once you make a decision, you can't regret it. Grandma Liang likes to see your smile the most. She definitely doesn't want you to make a hasty decision about your future."

Gu Mingrong suddenly stretched out his hand, covering Gu Liubai's eyes, causing her eyes to be plunged into darkness.

"...Mingrong?"

"Sister, I didn't do it on a whim. Although it is true that I have something to do with Grandma Liang, this is also my choice after careful consideration."

"I can't bear the people around me leaving me, and I hope that a long life will happen to Grandma Liang, but I know this is self-deception. I made this decision because of me... because my heart hurts now. Great, I have experienced the torment in the hearts of family members when their loved ones are sick, sister, you will support me."

Gu Mingrong cried uncontrollably, the reason why she covered Gu Liubai's eyes was because she knew that she must be crying ugly now, and she didn't want to see herself reflected in Gu Liubai's eyes.

Because of Gu Liubai, she likes to see herself strong, not like this, so weak that she seeks a support.

She also understands Gu Liubai's good intentions, because no one can tell what will happen in the future. If one day, Gu Liubai also leaves her, she will definitely be more sad than now.

But also because of being strong, like a towering tree, strong and tall, defying wind and rain!
"As long as it is what you think, I will support it!"
