There are also rumors that Xia Qian, the dark horse of the singing world, died related to Shen Weiyi, but because there was no evidence, the speculation remains mere guesswork.
While Shen Weiyi, once a prominent sensation, was pushed to the brink of public scrutiny, Lin Chu and Qi Ming awaited the arrival of the first snow at the Riverfront Apartment.
She wasn’t concerned, nor did she feel elation; just calm.
Outside, things were chaotic, but the wealthy villa area where she resided remained quiet; upper-class families do not get involved in the entertainment industry’s antics.
New Year should be celebrated in its own manner; even Qi Ming, usually not very active, took fireworks out to play in the yard, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
Perhaps caught up in the spirit, Lin Chu joined her son in playing.
She suddenly recalled New Year many years ago, when it also snowed heavily—despite the arguments, Lu Huai’an accompanied her back to the Lin Family home.
That was the first time Lu Huai’an built a snowman for her, just like in the photograph found in the small building of the old Lu Family mansion.
One ought not dwell too long on the past, or they will find themselves trapped by memories, unable to escape.
Lin Chu suddenly felt melancholy.
The first snow gently arrived with wind, fluttering down from the night sky to the earth.
Around ten o’clock, Lin Chu received a call from Ji Wanxia; it sounded lively on the other end, likely at Mu Jin Huan’s home.
There was nothing much said; just idle chitchat, benefitting Qi Ming, who didn’t expect Little Pea to still remember him. During the video call, she kept calling him ’Brother Lin’; her soft, tender voice melted Lin Chu’s heart.
After the call ended, Lin Chu took her son upstairs to sleep.
Qi Ming bathed and changed clothes on his own; he knew his mother hadn’t been sleeping well lately, so he requested her to tell him a story.
Before closing his eyes, he asked Lin Chu, "Mom, how long until my little sister comes out?"
While tucking the quilt around her son, Lin Chu smiled and replied, "In four more months; then you’ll be an elder brother."
"I’ll be good to my sister, and share all my toys with her." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"What a good boy."
...
Lu Huai’an returned from the hospital late at night, carrying the scent of disinfectant and a hint of blood.
Concerned that the pregnant woman might feel uncomfortable, he washed up in the guest room before getting into bed.
Lin Chu hadn’t slept well, so when the man drew her into his arms, she opened her eyes.
The bedroom was dark since no lights were on.
The light from the fireworks ascending into the night sky cast a unique beauty on the snowy scene.
Having slept poorly for several days, Lin Chu’s eyes felt sore; shortly after closing them again, she asked softly, "Is Gu Shaozhi alright?"
When Wanwan called earlier, she likely didn’t know yet, but there’s a chance she did.
The outwardly gentle Ji Wanxia has a talent for restraint.
Lu Huai’an didn’t dare to hug too tightly, but simply got closer to the soft woman behind him, absorbing her unique scent.
His warm palm naturally settled over her rounded abdomen, and through the sheer nightgown, gently and slowly caressed.
He spoke with a hoarse voice, seemingly worn out, "The wound is only a centimeter away from the heart; if he wakes up in the coming days, he’ll survive."
A centimeter...
Mr. Gu sure has a tenacious fate.
Lin Chu chuckled lightly, "Looks like Shen Weiyi really despises Gu Shaozhi, daring to strike such a blow—offending the Gu Family’s CEO and putting him on the operating table; does she wish to live?"
Just one step away from reaching the brightest spot, yet struck down sharply and pushed to the bottom; from then on, living under strange eyes, unable to rise—it must be truly upsetting.
The greatest punishment isn’t dying.
Death is too easy, too light.
"The doctor was flown in from abroad, Shaozhi won’t meet with an accident."
Lin Chu wasn’t concerned about Gu Shaozhi; she just felt a bit worried about Ji Wanxia seeing the news—even though Wanxia’s actions and words were harsh, if someone remains in your heart, any breeze can make life uneasy.
"He’d better not be left disabled; otherwise, after all the effort to guard the company, it might easily change hands—which would be a pity, yet so bitter."
Lu Huai’an personally visited the hospital to see Gu Shaozhi; his injuries were indeed severe.
During other families’ joyous reunions, Old Sir Gu and Mrs. Gu remained steadfast by the bedside, not daring to sleep even for ten minutes.
As long as Gu Shaozhi pulls through the critical phase, there shouldn’t be major issues.
