Chapter 116 orphans
Although Gu Qingrong said he hated Gu Xueren and was very tangled, he still had to go to the hospital to look after him.
Even though Gu Xueren had every fault, he had raised him. With this, if he did not look after him in front of the hospital bed, the law would also judge him not to fulfill his maintenance obligations.
This day, Gu Qingrong went to the hospital.
I just didn't expect to meet two people.
Someone he doesn't know.
A man and a woman, the man is about 40 or 50 years old, and the woman is a little girl, about 7 or 8 years old.
They were walking out of Gu Xueren's ward when they ran into Gu Qingrong carrying a thermos flask.
"Qingrong?" The man called him, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.
Gu Qingrong frowned and looked at them tightly.
The man looked down at the little girl next to him, and his voice was very gentle. He said, "Heidi, call brother."
The little girl stunned and turned to look at him. Facing the strange Gu Qingrong, she looked hesitant, but she quickly reacted. She ran to him, hugged his thigh, and cried sweetly: "Brother, are you Qingrong's brother?"
Gu Qingrong froze and retreated slightly, but the little girl's hand still spared him.
He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Gu Qingrong didn't like the touch of strangers very much. He bent down, grabbed the little girl's hand and broke her hand slightly.
The man seemed to notice his maladjustment, so he waved his hand and called, "Heidi, my brother has to send something to his father. Shall we come first?"
The little girl listened to his father very much, so she let go, went to the man's side and shouted "Dad".

Gu Qingrong walked into the ward, put the thermos flask on the next table, glanced at Gu Xueren in the hospital bed, and asked: "I have cooked some chicken soup for you, you can drink it later."
Today, Gu Xueren's spirit is much better than that of a few days ago, and his speaking strength is a little greater.
He sat down and asked him, "What did the doctor say today?"
Li Xuewen, who has been taking care of him, said: "The doctor said that his recovery today is very good. Although his legs are still unable to move, he can still walk as long as he cooperates with the reconstruction later."
Gu Qingrong seemed not to hear it and asked Gu Xueren again: "What did the doctor say today?"
Betty was embarrassed and silently shut up.
She began to entertain the man and the little girl standing at the door.
Gu Xueren always knew that Gu Qingrong didn't like Betty and stopped saying anything. He said with strength: "I am recovering well." After a pause, "By the way, Mr. Zhou at the door is your mother's current husband, and the little girl is their child named Zhou Heidi."
Gu Qingrong's eyes tightened, got up and turned to look at each other.
Mr. Zhou was very gentle and smiled and said to him, "Qingrong, can uncle say a few words to you?"

They came out of the hospital and found a KFC restaurant near the hospital to sit down.
The waiter served them fried chicken, hamburger, blueberry egg tart, fried chicken wings and cold drinks.
Zhou Heidi is very enthusiastic about Gu Qingrong. He has been calling his brother and sharing his favorite fried chicken wings with him.
"Brother, do you like fried chicken wings? This is delicious, shall I give you one?" Zhou Heidi said, and gave him all the chicken wings in the carton.
There are only two chicken wings in the carton, but it is also the best place to eat fried chicken.
Gu Qingrong looked a little more relaxed and no longer resisted her as he did when he first met her.
He replied, "I won't eat, you eat." And pushed the wings back.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "You'd better eat it. This is a little token of my sister. In the past, her mother always said in her ear that she had a brother, a very good brother, very handsome, very gentle and very good, so she kept clamoring to come to China to meet her brother."
Gu Qingrong smiled and quietly looked at Zhou Heidi, who was eating happily.
Mr. Zhou is still saying, "She likes eating these things very much, but I don't think it is healthy to eat too much, so I won't let her eat too much. This is her favorite food, so sharing it with her favorite brother is also a little token of my sister."
Gu Qingrong nodded, Gu Zi picked up the chicken wings and put them into his mouth to eat a little.
His behavior aroused Zhou Heidi's joy.
She skipped into his arms, sprinkling charming.
Gu Qingrong's eyebrow eye was soft and gently stroked her little head.
Zhou Heidi looks very much like her mother. He hasn't seen his mother for three or four years, but now he can't see her again. Seeing Zhou Heidi reminds her of her mother.
"Uncle Zhou, how did she get there?" Low eyebrows, Gu Qingrong asked aloud.
Mr Zhou knows who he means by "she".
Four years have passed, and the fourth year of Linlin Chen's death, in retrospect, or speaking, although it has been accepted calmly, it still hurts.
"She returned to China for your birthday. Not long after she returned to France, one morning she felt stuffy in her chest and uncomfortable breathing, so she called 120 emergency calls. I was working in the company at that time, but I was not at home. Heidi was the only one in my family. The ambulance finally arrived, but she had lost her breath and her pupils had turned white and spread to the edge. The doctor rescued her, but she left without being rescued. "
Life is impermanent, and there are too many unexpected events that catch everyone by surprise.
Knowing the exact news of his mother's death, although my heart still hurts and my eyes are ruddy, I can relieve my mood better than when I first learned the news of her death two days ago.
Mr. Zhou continued, "I told your father the news of her death at that time, and asked him to tell you and prepare you. I just didn't expect that he only told you now in the past four years."
After a pause, he said, "You were still young at that time. Maybe your father was worried that you could not bear the blow, so he didn't tell you."
Everyone is excusing Gu Xueren, but he never cared about him.
Gu Xueren never knew why he liked short track speed skating, why he had to compete so hard, why he wanted to enter the national team, and why he wanted to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Because, he just wants to see his mother, really just wants to see her.
Unfortunately, Gu Xueren did not know.
So he kept the news from him that his mother had already died.
Therefore, his obsession, which he has always insisted on, was instantly disintegrated at the moment he got the news.
"Heidi was there? Does she still remember?" Gu Qingrong looked at Zhou Heidi.
"Heidi she..." Mr. Zhou said of these, "She was only four years old and didn't know anything, but she could feel her mother leaving and cried for several days. Now she doesn't seem to remember the past, and I don't dare to say this in front of her."
Gu Qingrong breathed heavily and closed his eyes sadly.
He opened his eyes and asked, "Thank you for telling me this."
Mr Zhou smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, aren't you in France? Why are you here?" Gu Qingrong asked.
"Oh." Mr. Zhou smiled, "I am an overseas Chinese in France or a Chinese national. It's just that I often do business in France and live there. I came back this time because Heidi's grandfather had a birthday, and I came to see you by the way."
Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Heidi with more kindness and smiled and said, "You don't even know that Heidi has been clamoring to see you and wants to give you a big gift."
This is Gu Qingrong's first meeting with Zhou Heidi. It is very cute. Although I haven't seen them, they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, and Heidi looks like his mother. He feels a sense of familiarity.
Gu Qingrong smiled and Gu Zi picked up Zhou Heidi and said, "Oh, did Heidi buy any gift for his brother?"
"Yes!" Zhou Heidi said that he took out a small carton from his pocket and handed it to him. "For my brother."
Gu Qingrong took it and opened it. It was a crystal bracelet.
She said: "This is a bracelet worn by Crystal Princess. It is very beautiful and can bring good luck to my brother!"
"Thank you, Heidi."
Looking at the brother and sister in front of him, Mr Zhou smiled happily and nodded his head.
When the three left KFC, Heidi said he would take his brother to the playground, but his grandfather urged them to go home.
Mr. Zhou picked up Heidi and said, "Heidi, Grandpa called us home. Let's come to play with my brother next time, shall we?"
Although Zhou Heidi was very frustrated, he also made an agreement with his brother Lago, saying that he must go to play next time.
"Well, Qingrong, we should go back." Mr. Zhou said, "I'll bring her to play next time, OK? The Spring Festival is coming, and we can also go out to play during the Spring Festival."
Gu Qingrong nodded and replied, "Hmm."
They left.
Looking at the back of their departure, Gu Qingrong was somewhat disappointed.
After all, it was a family that had nothing to do with him.
His mother is gone, he has nothing to do with the family here, and he has no right to insert them.
He is not qualified to join his mother's family, and he disdains to join his father's new family.
For a while, Gu Qingrong only felt that he was an orphan.
An orphan without any relatives.
