Chapter 686 Abandoned and Picked Up Again
Chapter 686 Abandoned and Picked Up Again
The little guy didn't make a sound at all; he was very well-behaved in Zhou Yi's arms.
Now that Sheng Mingying has left, he nestled in his father's arms, his little face gazing obediently at Zhou Yi, saying, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
He looked into her eyes, and her big eyes were filled with heartache.
Seeing that he wasn't about to cry and was behaving normally, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Aunt Zhou Yi is going now. Yu Yu, play with Daddy~"
After saying that, Zhou Yi took the little guy's hand and kissed it, then quickly followed Sheng Mingying into the old house.
Wenren Chen stood there, holding the little one, watching the departing figure.
At that moment, she felt no sadness at all; all she wanted was to keep him from worrying.
Silly girl.
As soon as Sheng Mingying turned around, she couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Sheng Mingying's smile, Qi Ma turned to look behind her and saw Zhou Yi jogging over. She whispered, "Young Madam is here."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Mingying's smile immediately vanished, replaced by a stiff expression that didn't show at all.
Soon, Zhou Yi ran to Sheng Mingying's side and helped her up: "Mom, don't be angry. You're old, and getting angry is bad for your health. If you're angry, just scold me or hit me. Don't keep it inside."
As Zhou Yi approached, Qi Ma released Sheng Mingying and stepped back.
Sheng Mingying's hand was supported by Zhou Yi. Looking at the girl with a face full of self-blame and worry, she held her hand and said with heartache, "Silly child, you are all alone. You have no father to love you and no mother to care for you. Your grandmother is in the hospital, and there are many things you can't let her know. You are all alone now. You have nowhere to tell if you are wronged."
“You married Xiao Liu, he is your husband and your support, so he has to protect you and can’t let you suffer. If you cry, it means he did something wrong.”
“Mom is not an unreasonable person. He is much older than you and married you in a hurry. He didn’t do many things properly. Mom really didn’t wrong him.”
Sheng Mingying showed Zhou Yi boundless kindness and gentleness, without the slightest favoritism.
There are many reasons why she just started sixth grade, but among these reasons, as she said, it is indeed because her son did not behave well, which is why Zhou Yi cried so sadly.
Looking at those red and swollen eyes from crying, looking so pitiful, Sheng Mingying felt a pang of heartache.
After saying that, Sheng Mingying said to Qi Ma, "Qi Ma, call the doctor over to take a look at Zhou Yi. See how badly he's cried his eyes out. I hope it's not serious."
Aunt Qi bowed her head: "Yes, Madam."
She stopped, picked up her phone, and called the doctor to come over.
Zhou Yi felt a surge of warmth in her heart and her eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Sheng Mingying's loving words. But upon hearing what followed, she quickly said, "Mom, no need, I'm fine. I just shed a few tears. I'm alright, I don't need to see a doctor."
She just cried and shed some tears; she doesn't need to see a doctor and will recover quickly.
She's alright.
Sheng Mingying gripped her icy-cold hand and said, "How could you be alright? Look at your eyes, they're swollen like walnuts. If you don't get them fixed today, you'll suffer tomorrow."
Zhou Yi shook her head: "No, Mom, I just cried for a bit, it will go away quickly."
I cried a lot when I was little, but I never saw a doctor and it would get better quickly.
As she grew up, she cried less.
In the past few months, since Grandma's accident, many things have changed. She has shed more tears, as if she has shed all the tears she has shed in the past ten years.
Sheng Mingying said, "Don't say that. Mom won't listen to you. Mom will listen to the doctor."
After saying that, he rubbed her hands and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"
As he spoke, he looked at Qi's mother again: "Qi's mother."
Aunt Qi hung up the phone and stepped forward: "Madam."
Sheng Mingying said, "Have someone fetch a shawl. Zhou Yi's hands are so cold; she shouldn't catch a cold."
Qi's mother said, "Yes."
She called the maid and asked her to bring a shawl.
Zhou Yi's lips parted slightly, but before she could utter a sound, Sheng Mingying had already given all the instructions.
She was speechless, only looking at Sheng Mingying, tears welling up in her eyes.
Today, she lost a loved one, but it seems she has gained another.
The old lady, who resembled my grandmother, doted on her.
As soon as Sheng Mingying finished giving her instructions, she looked at Zhou Yi and saw that the little girl was so moved that she was about to cry. She quickly said, "Don't cry, don't cry. If you cry any more, your eyes won't be able to take it."
She raised her hand to wipe away Zhou Yi's tears.
It would be better if she didn't wipe her tears; if she did, the tears would roll down and land on her hands.
Sheng Mingying was so distressed that she didn't know what to say.
This child is so pitiful.
She had been raised by her grandmother since childhood, without parents, and had stumbled and struggled her way up. She never imagined that her grandmother would raise her so well.
Sheng Mingying's eyes were a little red as she said, "Let's go, let's go back to Cangyuan. It's raining and windy outside. If we cry, the cold air will get into our bodies and it won't be good."
"Come on, let's go back to Cangyuan with Mom. Let's have a good talk."
Sheng Mingying pulled Zhou Yi along and headed towards Cangyuan, her old legs moving with surprising speed and agility.
Zhou Yi's emotions fluctuated greatly today. She was very sensitive; the smallest things could move her to tears, while the smallest details could make her laugh and feel warm.
Just like now, Sheng Mingying pulled her forward quickly. Her hurried appearance was so adorable, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Wiping away her tears, she helped Sheng Mingying up and said, "Mom, I'm not crying. Slow down and watch your step."
"Don't rush, it's cold outside. You're too cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Sheng Mingying kept pulling Zhou Yi forward. Halfway there, a servant came over with a shawl, which Sheng Mingying put on Zhou Yi, and then led her to continue towards Cang Garden.
Upon arriving at Cangyuan, Sheng Mingying took Zhou Yi to the glass room in the backyard and had the heating turned on to dispel the chill inside. Qi Ma made tea for Zhou Yi to drink to warm her up.
Aunt Qi and the maids busied themselves, and Sheng Mingying took Zhou Yi's hand and said, "It's much warmer in here, not cold anymore."
Sheng Mingying held Zhou Yi's hand the whole time. Her hand was warm, and Zhou Yi's little hand was also warmed by being rubbed in her hand.
Zhou Yi stopped crying, but looked at Sheng Mingying with red eyes. In her eyes were the little puppy that had been abandoned and picked up and held in someone's arms, receiving warmth and full of affection.
Seeing her like this, Sheng Mingying felt extremely distressed.
Especially with her red and swollen eyes, she asked Aunt Qi, "Aunt Qi, has Dr. Zhao arrived yet?"
"Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Looking outside, Aunt Qi said, "It should be..."
"Madam, I'm sorry, something came up at the pharmacy and I was delayed."
Before he could finish speaking, the doctor quickly came in carrying his medical kit.
Sheng Mingying said, "It's nothing, Dr. Zhao. Can you take a look at Zhou Yi? Her eyes are swollen from crying. I hope nothing serious happens."
The doctor rushed over, put down his medical kit, and said, "Okay, madam."
