Chapter 1165: Don’t Break Your Promise to Star
11th ar
After arranging Jian Mo, Gu Beichen called Cen Lanxi again.
Cen Lanxi was very happy when she heard that Jian Mo took the initiative to live in the manor after Gu Beichen left.
They lived in the manor for a while before, but after Xiaojie and Jian Yao started school, they moved back to Changhuanyuan for convenience...
Although I only came here to stay for a few days, for Cen Lanxi, it seemed that nothing could be happier than this.
"Don't worry, your father and I will take good care of Xiaomo." Cen Lanxi said with a smile.
"Thank you mom!"
When Cen Lanxi heard what Gu Beichen said, her nose felt a little sore and her thoughts turned upside down.
This life was full of twists and turns, but in the end she was able to live in harmony. When she looked back, she realized how much of her family's time she had wasted.
"I am your mother, Xiaomo is my daughter-in-law, and the baby in her belly is my grandson. What can I thank you for?" Cen Lanxi said angrily, "Okay, I'll clean up the house for Xiaomo. Don't go out. Patronizing work.”
"Yes." Gu Beichen responded without saying anything else and hung up the phone.
Looking at the time, Gu Beichen gave a few more instructions to J and Shen Chu...
Naturally, Susan has been with Gu Beichen for a long time. It can be said that he does not need to explain anything to her, she can handle the matters that need to be handled properly.
The plane climbed into the sky with urgency and nervousness...
Gu Beichen tilted his head, looking at the clouds passing by the small window, and his thin lips gradually pursed.
He always felt that Mo'er was obsessed with Xiaoyan and couldn't let go, but now, why was he the same? !
Regardless of whether Xiaoyan is really alive or not, or left that night...
He always felt that as Xiaoyan's father, he always had to give himself an explanation.
Time is spent in flight.
The long journey made the three groups of people at 30,000 feet feel particularly complicated.
After Shi Shaoqin arrived in Monterey, he did not continue taking the private plane, but transferred to a civilian flight from San Francisco to Ottawa.
About half an hour before boarding the plane, Shi Shaoqin called Qingqing.
"Star..."
Just as Shi Shaoqin spoke, he heard Star crying from the other end of the phone.
He frowned suddenly, "What's wrong?"
"Star wouldn't let anyone touch him, and he kept crying, and kept crying!" Qingqing said heartily, "It was fine on the plane. I talked about going home and mentioned Young Master, and he was quite cooperative... But when he got off the plane, it was okay. Later, when I arrived at the hotel, I didn’t see you, and the environment was unfamiliar, so Star was always on alert.”
Qingqing watched Star crying, her eyes filled with the instinctive fear caused by strangers, and felt extremely distressed.
Shi Shaoqin's heart clenched because of Star's crying, "Give Star the phone."
"Okay..." Qingqing responded hurriedly and was about to walk towards Star.
Star's little body stepped back and looked at Qingqing, fear overflowing from his eyes.
Qingqing's nose was sore, and she handed the phone forward, "Star, it's Shitou... Shitou's phone number."
Star glanced at his phone, he had been crying, but his eyes did not let down his guard because Qingqing mentioned 'stone'.
After all, his current situation is different from Jian Mo's back then.
Jian Mo is an adult. Even though she has lost her memory, she has an adult's ability to judge the world.
Star is just a child less than two years old, and his world is very simple...
Fear because of unfamiliarity, resistance because of fear.
Qingqing's eyes were red, "I won't come near you, okay?" She put the phone on the speaker, put it on the ground, and stepped back, "You can take it yourself!"
While Star was crying, he looked at the mobile phone on the ground, looked at it, and then looked at Qingqing who had retreated far away from him.
"Get the phone..." Qingqing tried to keep her voice as soft as possible.
After a while, Star timidly picked up the phone.
"Star..." Shi Shaoqin felt the clarity of the cry coming from the receiver and knew that Star had already taken the phone.
Star didn't respond, just cried.
"I know you're scared right now," Shi Shaoqin's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on his face. It was filled with warmth and made people put down their guard unconsciously. "I also know that you probably don't remember the stone."
Star sniffed and listened to Shi Shaoqin talking on the phone. Inexplicably, he gradually stopped crying...
That's instinctive dependence and trust.
"Shitou will probably see you after dinner," Shi Shaoqin said softly, "Star, can you not cry now, eat with Qingqing first, and then take a nap, we will almost be able to see you. "
There were tears in Star's eyes, and her mouth was always pursed.
Hearing that Shi Shaoqin gave time, although he didn't know how long it would take...
"Okay..." Star responded softly, his nose twitching, feeling particularly aggrieved.
Shi Shaoqin felt so sad that he comforted Star a few more times, and then after Qingqing approached Star, he explained a few more words and hung up the phone.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and in the depths of his eyes, there was an increasingly intense feeling of self-blame and heartache...
Shi Shaoqin stood up and prepared to board the plane.
At the right time, the phone vibrated.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and then he heard the person inside report: "Sir Qin, Gu Beichen will arrive in New York in three hours. According to the itinerary, he will go directly from New York to San Francisco... He should go to Monterey."
Shi Shaoqin was not surprised by Gu Beichen's behavior.
After all, he is a meticulous person.
With suspicion and knowing him, how could he not investigate thoroughly?
But, he didn't expect that he would leave Jian Mo and come alone...
"Stop him as planned." Shi Shaoqin ordered while he boarded the plane.
He went to Ottawa without using his identity information...
Although he couldn't completely deceive Beichen, as long as he delayed time, he could get rid of Beichen.
Although he obviously didn't need to go through so much trouble, there were many ways to dispel Beichen's idea...
But he couldn't bear to see Star cry, and he didn't want to break his promise to Star.
Boarding, taking off...
Time just ran at its own speed.
Knowing clearly that it was useless to be anxious, Shi Shaoqin kept looking at the time.
He was worried, worried that Star would not cry when he woke up.
The little guy cried from Los Angeles to Ottawa, and his voice was obviously hoarse.
When he thought of how pitiful he was and how he felt that he didn't want him, Shi Shaoqin's heart was still tied tightly with a rope...
He hadn't had any feelings for a long time, whether it was family, friendship or love.
To Juexi, it was a natural responsibility. If he had to talk about family affection, he seemed to have no idea how to express it.
But it was different for Star.
I don't know if it was because of Jian Mo, or because he was too eager to pursue the sun during the treatment of Star...
His feelings for Star were different.
In addition, the little guy had never been separated from him, and his dependence on him and his joy were all factors that gradually changed him.
Even though he had lost his memory due to the drugs, Star's dependence on him had never changed every time he woke up...
How could he let go of such feelings? !
"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive in Ottawa..."
The captain's voice interrupted Shi Shaoqin's thoughts. He looked at the time and saw that they would arrive in half an hour.
He tilted his head and looked out the small window.
Shi Shaoqin felt that his heart and urgent breathing slowed down...
...
Gu Beichen stood in the lobby of Ottawa MacDonald-Cartier International Airport, looked at the time, and his eyes fell on the big screen at the airport.
