Chapter 61 Why doesn't Meimei have a mother?
Rong Shu and the others returned to the court.
President Hu apologized to Jiang Huaixu and Qi Yanchao, saying that it was his suggestion that had spoiled everyone's mood.
Jiang Huaixu said, "President Hu, don't take it to heart. This has nothing to do with you."
Song Yan chimed in, "We had just as much fun on our own without them!"
President Hu smiled. Jiang Huaixu was indeed easier to approach and communicate with than Sheng Tingchen.
Of course, that's all there is to it. People in this circle who have reached their level are no pushovers.
After chatting with the group for a few more minutes, General Manager Hu and Deputy General Manager Wu took their leave.
Song Yan couldn't help but worry, "What if that scumbag of a man causes trouble for Xiao Shu?"
Five years ago, she slapped An Qingyue, and Sheng Tingchen then attacked Dongxing. She still remembers that incident vividly.
Rong Shu said nonchalantly, "Let's see if he can blacklist me!"
after that.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu played a few more rounds by themselves.
Sheng Tingze treated us to dinner that evening.
I got home that night.
Pei Yu has just returned.
"Brother, did everything go smoothly today?" Rong Shu asked.
The two chatted as they walked into the house.
The old Sheng family residence.
Sheng Tingchen got out of the car carrying the child and walked into the house.
Old Madam Sheng and Shen Yurong followed behind.
Grandpa Sheng and Sheng Hanzhang were waiting at home.
When the brothers Sheng Jinghui and Sheng Jingrui saw her return at the door, they quickly ran forward and said anxiously, "Sister."
My sister was playing happily with them this afternoon when she suddenly felt unwell. They all wanted to go to the hospital with her, but Grandma told them to wait at home.
Madam Sheng stepped forward to comfort the two brothers, saying, "Your sister is alright now, don't worry."
The group entered the house.
Sheng Hanzhang helped Old Master Sheng, who was leaning on his cane, forward, his eyes filled with heartache, and asked, "Is the child alright?"
Sheng Meijing leaned listlessly in her father's arms. When she saw her grandfather and great-grandfather, she called out softly, "Great-grandfather, grandfather."
Grandpa Sheng looked at his frail great-granddaughter and felt extremely distressed.
"Meimei is fine. I'll take the child back to the room to rest first."
Most likely due to premature birth, the mother was not in good condition when giving birth to Meimei, and she was not breastfed, so Meimei was weak and had poor digestion from a young age.
Even with careful nurturing, children inevitably get sick. Today, due to overeating, indigestion caused gastroenteritis and a fever.
I went to the hospital for an IV drip and injection.
Grandpa Sheng said, "Alright, alright, take the child to rest."
Sheng Tingchen carried the child back to his room.
Put her on the bed and pull the small blanket over her.
Shen Yurong followed him into the house and said, "Go eat and tidy up first. I'll look after the child."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement.
After he finished tidying up and returned to the bedroom, he didn't know what Shen Yurong and Sheng Meijing were talking about. Sheng Meijing was laughing happily, but she didn't have much strength in her laughter.
Sheng Tingchen stepped forward and said, "Mom, go and rest!"
Shen Yurong looked at her son.
Since his son had a daughter, he has become more humane and connected with his family more closely because of the child.
Meimei really loves her great-grandparents, so Sheng Tingchen often brings the children back. Now that Meimei is on summer vacation, she spends most of her time at the old house, making the house even more lively.
"Alright then."
Meimei is sick, and only Sheng Tingchen can take care of her.
Shen Yurong said goodbye to her granddaughter.
Sheng Meijing waved to her grandmother, "Goodnight, Grandma."
Shen Yurong stroked her little head, "Goodnight, baby."
Sheng Tingchen turned off the main light in the room, turned on the bedside lamp, lay down next to Meimei, pulled the blanket up, and Meimei snuggled up to her father, calling out in a coquettish voice, "Daddy."
Sheng Tingchen nodded and kissed his daughter's forehead, then reached for a fairy tale book on the bedside table and asked, "What story do you want to hear today?"
Meimei nestled against her father, listening to him tell a story.
One story is finished.
Meimei suddenly said, "Daddy."
Sheng Tingchen looked at his daughter with tenderness in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meimei looked at her father and asked, "Why doesn't Meimei have a mother?"
Sheng Tingchen stroked his daughter's cheek with his hand, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"My older cousin, younger cousin, and my sister Nannan all have mothers. Today, all the other children who are sick have their mothers with them, but Meimei doesn't have a mother." Meimei said, her eyes suddenly turning red.
The word "mother" was unfamiliar to Meimei until she was three or four years old. Her father and grandparents loved her very much, and it seemed that the existence of her mother had no impact on her.
But as she grew older and started kindergarten, the identity of her mother became stronger in her consciousness.
She would pay attention to the mothers of the children around her. Her older cousin and younger cousin, as well as her older sister Nannan, all had parents. When they called out to their mothers and acted like spoiled children, she started to feel emotional. Why didn't she have a mother?
Today at the hospital, there was a sick child whose parents were with her, but she only has a father and has never had a mother.
When people are sick, their emotions are most likely to fluctuate, and the same is true for children.
Seeing his daughter's red eyes, Sheng Tingchen's heart sank. He had actually anticipated that his daughter would have questions as she grew older.
He stroked his daughter's head and said, "Meimei has a mother."
Sheng Meijing's eyes widened, and she asked, "Where is Mommy? Why isn't she with Meimei?"
"Mommy is far away. Be a good girl and Mommy will come back."
Sheng Meijing immediately asked, "That's because Meimei was naughty before, that's why Mommy doesn't want Meimei anymore."
"no."
"..."
Sheng Tingchen coaxed her and had no choice but to give Meimei the peace lock that Rong Shu had left behind. Meimei gradually calmed down after holding the peace lock in her hand.
So she does have a mother.
Sheng Tingchen comforted her for a while, and Meimei finally fell asleep peacefully with the safety lock in her hand. The man gently patted her back the whole time.
Looking at his daughter's innocent face, the man's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
The next day.
Meimei's fever has completely subsided, but she lacks her usual energy and spirits, so she needs to rest for two more days.
Sheng Tingchen carried Meimei downstairs. Meimei's little face was happy, and she greeted her grandparents cheerfully.
When Shen Yurong went to hug her granddaughter, she noticed the safety lock around her neck and paused for a moment.
Yesterday at the hospital.
She noticed that Meimei kept staring at the family next to her. As the child grew older, she gradually began to develop self-awareness.
She glanced at her son but didn't ask any further questions.
Xishan Villa District.
Rong Shu got up early to go for a run. Sheng Tingze was waiting for her at the door. When he saw her, he raised his hand to greet her.
When the villa area first opened, Sheng Tingze bought one here. It was a purchase he discussed with Pei Yu.
Sheng Tingze now lives here and often eats at Pei Yu's house.
The two finished their run together.
Sheng Tingze naturally went to freeload breakfast.
