Chapter 20

At eight o'clock in the morning, the airport.

Gao Ru was wearing a long black one-piece dress, and a pair of sunglasses couldn't hide the excitement on her face. Chen Fu beside her was wearing a casual white sportswear, and his face was pale. His expression was always calm. Occasionally remind the excited Gao Ru to pay attention to her image.

Gao Ru didn't look like a person suffering from cancer at all, because Chen Fu's face was more rosy than ever recently, and she looked like she was a lot younger. She looked here and there, and said this to Chen Fu Speaking of that, I was even more excited than Chen Fu, who was flying for the first time.

The housekeeper and nanny also followed, and they were very friendly to Chen Fu.

When boarding the plane, knowing that there would be no one there, Chen Fu still looked back.

The last time he went to T city, he looked back at his hometown and said goodbye to his hometown. This time, he turned his head and looked out, saying goodbye to the person he loved deeply.

These two cities respectively buried his family and love, but before leaving, the resentment in his heart miraculously disappeared.

Never seen again.

Gao Ru in front was still urging Chen Fu, but Chen Fu agreed and quickened his pace to follow.

The personnel arrived one after another, and the plane took off.

Because Chen Fu had never been on a plane before, Gao Ru happily introduced Chen Fu like a child in the first half hour, and even took Chen Fu to see the scenery outside the plane. She was even happier when Chen Fu cooperated with her occasionally, saying more cheerful.

Chen Fu had no choice but to ask her to be careful not to disturb others.

So Gao Ru lowered her voice and continued.

When she was talking, Chen Fu fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up again, it was Gao Ru who called him.

It turned out that we had reached our destination, but it was still bright outside.

The housekeeper and the nanny went to help them carry their luggage, and Chen Fu took Gao Ru, who was like a child, to hire a taxi, but someone had already come to pick them up.

Gao Ru didn't hide her joy at all. She introduced the scenery to Chen Fu along the way, and the driver who came to pick them up was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

The car drove into a high-end neighborhood.

That neighborhood is full of villas, one after another, each one is different but does not affect the appearance, the car keeps driving until it reaches a very delicate villa.

That villa is not the largest one here, but it is the most exquisite one. Gao Ru and Chen Fu explained that because she lives alone and usually there are not many people serving her, so they chose the house here. It's not so deserted to live alone in such a big house.

Chen Fu stayed happily.

After resting for a few days, Gao Ru found him a tutor to teach him English, but Chen Fu refused, saying that he hadn't adjusted well, and he didn't need a tutor, he could learn by himself.

Gao Ru had no choice but to compensate the tutor for some expenses, and let Chen Fu study on his own.

Chen Fu was actually a quick learner. He bought some English books after he was done with the jet lag, and locked himself in the bedroom to memorize them every day. Although his speech was still not standard after two months, his daily conversations were basically not a problem.

The next step is company management, Gao Ru taught him step by step.

For this, Chen Fu seemed a little careless.

Gao Ru was a little anxious, but she didn't force him too much.

Chen Fu had said from the very beginning that he did not want to inherit the company, and Gao Ru knew it would be useless to force him, so he had to figure it out by himself.

Chen Fu figured it out, Gao Ru had an attack a few weeks later that frightened him.

In fact, stomach cancer patients are always in a state of attack. Gao Ru's attack was because she suddenly vomited blood in front of Chen Fu.

That day, Gao Ru was still holding a bunch of documents and explaining to Chen Fu. As she was talking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she threw down the documents at that time, ran to the bathroom and vomited.

What was spit out was not food, but blood.

Chen Fu, who was worried about her situation, followed in. Seeing the blood, he was stunned.

Maybe it was then that he really realized that Gao Ru's time was really running out.

The butler took Gao Ru to the hospital, and the servants in the villa worked all night. At night when the lights were brightly lit, Chen Fu sat on a chair in the hospital, his hands shaking in panic.

The nanny's face was full of tears, she really felt sorry for the master she had taken care of for more than ten years.

Chen Fu asked him: "How long have you taken care of me...Mom?"

That was the first time Chen Fu admitted that Gao Ru was his mother.

During the few months he lived in the United States, he really didn't say much, and even if he opened his mouth, he would never call Gao Ru's mother. This may be a subconscious avoidance, but Gao Ru is always unavoidably discouraged.

These two words that are most familiar to ordinary people are the most jerky, unfamiliar and difficult to pronounce in Chen Fu's life.

When the nanny heard this, she was a little excited for Gao Ru.

"I've been taking care of your mother for more than ten years," she replied, "Since your mother's company grew too busy to cook for herself, she hired me."

Chen Fu couldn't help but imagine the scene when Gao Ru started a business by herself.

Fortunately, Gao Ru's attack this time was not dangerous.

No, it is actually dangerous.

Chen Fu knew that every time she got sick, her living time would be shortened a little, and every time she shortened a little, Gao Ru would be more haggard.

She is in more pain than before.

So when Gao Ru was able to teach him again, Chen Fu worked harder than ever.

He would read the documents all night. He must study thoroughly what he learned that day, and he would never disappoint Gao Ru the next day. Looking at the joyful light in Gao Ru's eyes, his eyes softened a lot.

Gao Ru was hospitalized soon. Although she didn't want to go to the hospital, the housekeeper and nanny, including Chen Fu, strongly urged her to go to the hospital for treatment, so she was taken away by the doctor.

Sometimes she would take Chen Fu around the company when she was energetic, announce his status as the heir, and introduce him to the company's high-level veterans, asking them to teach Chen Fu on her behalf.

With so much help, Chen Fu learned with twice the result with half the effort.

He understands that once Gao Ru dies, the company will be devoured by a pack of wolves, and he must work hard to make himself stronger and overwhelm those demons and snakes.

This company is Gao Ru's painstaking effort, and he is Gao Ru's son.

He found that the sound of mother was actually not that difficult to say.

Gao Ru was very happy about this for a long time, her eyes were moist, that excited look made Chen Fu feel sour.

However, there was no Gao Ru in the villa, so it suddenly became deserted. The servants at home were not familiar with Chen Fu, and Chen Fu didn't like to talk, so every day in the villa, except for a few servants chatting, the rest was quiet. of.

The auntie nanny complained to Gao Ru a few times when she came to see her, but she never expected Gao Ru to be interested.

It was sunny that day, so Chen Fu pushed Gao Ru out for a walk.

The dew in the park hadn't evaporated completely, and it was a bit humid outside, Gao Ru suddenly said to Chen Fu, "Xiao Fu, after I go, you will be alone."

Chen Fu didn't respond.

The wind blew slowly, picking up Chen Fu's hair, and his eyes blurred for a while.

"Xiao Fu, it's enough for mom to have you, and I don't have any regrets," she turned to look at Chen Fu, "But, I don't want you to be lonely in life. When you grow old, you won't have a loved one." People are there for me, just like me."

"It's windy, let's go back." Chen Fu said.

Gao Ru lowered her head and coughed twice, then smiled briefly: "Okay, go back, go back."

Ever since the question was mentioned that morning, Gao Ru raised it from time to time to observe Chen Fu's expression.

Chen Fu may have faintly felt something, but he still came to the hospital to accompany Gao Ru as usual, familiarized the staff and duties in the company, studied day and night, and there were still a lot of nouns in English waiting for him to be familiar with.

Gao Ru also cooperated with the treatment in the hospital, and never vomited blood again. Because of Chen Fu's company, she laughed all day long, like a child.

After a year like this, Gao Ru's condition has miraculously not deteriorated. Although it has not improved, the doctor said pleasantly that if this continues, she will probably recover slowly, as long as she persists in the treatment.

Gao Ru just smiled when she heard this, and murmured, "I know my own body..."

Chen Fu frowned immediately.

Sure enough, before a week had passed, Gao Ru vomited blood again.

The condition worsened suddenly and seriously. When no one was prepared, there were still small black spots in the blood he spit out, and he was hurriedly pushed for a full-body examination.

The cancer cells have spread, surgery can no longer completely remove the cancer cells, and the stomach cancer is at an advanced stage, even if the stomach is completely removed, it will not be able to save her.

The atmosphere was dignified, but Gao Ru seemed to have expected it a long time ago, her expression was flat, and she didn't express anything.

After taking the medicine, she sent everyone away, leaving only Chen Fu to accompany him.

Chen Fu silently helped her tuck the quilt and sat beside her.

Gao Ru smiled: "I knew this would happen a long time ago."

Chen Fu still didn't speak.

Gao Ru didn't mind either, and continued to ask him, "Xiao Fu, do you like men?"

Chen Fu looked at her slightly surprised, "Yes."

"Do you want to ask me how I know? When I saw you look at that man in China a year ago, I guessed it." Gao Ru took a deep breath, and then exhaled, "Actually, even if you are now If I get married, I probably won't be able to have a grandson, but I still have to say, Xiao Fu, you go to a surrogate, or get a test-tube baby?"

Chen Fu asked her with some difficulty, "Why?"

"Because I don't want you to be like me, ruin your life for someone who doesn't love you, and live alone with your own flesh and blood for a short time until you die."

Chen Fu's originally soft face suddenly became stiff, and his expression was cold: "But I'm not you."

"Don't you love that man?"

Chen Fu froze for a moment.

"...I will forget him, completely, forget him."

Gao Ru looked at him with gentle eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Since then, no one has mentioned anything about the child for a long time.

There was no cold war between the two of them, what should they do? Chen Fu would still visit Gao Ru every day, and Gao Ruan accepted the treatment quietly, without the liveliness he had before.

Because of the side effects of chemotherapy, she became increasingly ugly.

It was another serious attack, and Chen Fu rushed over from the company to visit Gao Ru.

There was not much light in her eyes, and when she entered the disinfection room, she insisted on asking Chen Fu again.

"Are you really unwilling to have a child? Even adoption is fine."

"I don't want you to walk alone in this world for more than [-] years, and you will still die alone in the next few decades. I have seen how difficult the road of homosexuality is, and I have seen it in the United States," she said in her weak voice. There was a hint of bitterness, with a bit of a mother's taste, "Heterosexuals may not necessarily find someone who can accompany them for the rest of their lives, let alone homosexuals. I know that I have abandoned you for more than ten years, and I have no right to ask you to do anything, but This year, if you are by my side, I will also feel sorry for your desertedness, Xiao Fu, you need some popularity."

"Having a child by your side, the unbroken blood relationship is a wonderful experience."

"Just like I'm looking at you right now."

Gao Ru smiled slightly, that smile was very faint, with countless sadness, it was amazing that Chen Fu could feel a little happiness from this smile.

Chemotherapy has taken away too much of her vitality. She is now very tired even lifting her fingers. Her hair is dry and sparse, her body is becoming more and more bloated and obese, and she vomits blood from time to time. There is not much time left.

Chen Fu's trembling hands couldn't help touching her rapidly aging face.

In fact, the two of them had almost no relationship before, maybe the blood relationship was really strong. After getting along for a year, Chen Fu actually began to be reluctant to part with this poor-looking woman.

Gao Ru was still smiling slightly. Before she could get Chen Fu's answer, she was pushed into the radiation room.

She glanced back at Chen Fu.

Chen Fu forced a smile.

Chen Fu couldn't wait for Gao Ru to come out that day, so he was called to the company.

Now Chen Fu is taking care of many problems in the company, Gao Ru basically doesn't care about things, and her physical condition does not allow her to be overworked anymore.

However, Chen Fu did not go smoothly. Some of the company's performance was declining at a predictable speed due to his improper management. Many executives had questioned his ability.

Chen Fu did not have the strength to refute, so he could only remain silent.

Fortunately, the performance is good and bad, and it has not reached the level of the company's bankruptcy.

Chen Fu called an assistant and asked her to start looking for a surrogate mother.

For a moment, the assistant thought he had heard wrongly, and confirmed to Chen Fu several times before he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his hearing, and went to help Chen Fu with a full stomach of questions.

After half a month, I finally found a surrogate mother.

It was a girl who had just graduated and lived in a difficult situation. She was in her early twenties and was in the same grade as Chen Fu. Chen Fu took her to meet Gao Ru first.

There was a feeling of a mother-in-law seeing her daughter-in-law, which surprised the girl.

By the way, he had a physical examination in the hospital, and Chen Fu decided to inseminate quickly.

He said to the haggard Gao Ru, "If you hold on, you will soon be able to hold your grandson."

Gao Ru smiled and said, "Okay."

Ava was the surrogate girl's name, but it was actually just a code name, she didn't want to reveal her real name to Chen Fu.

Ava soon became pregnant, and at one month, Chen Fu brought her to Gao Ru again.

Gao Ru put her ear on her belly, listening to the beating of the little life inside, tiny, weak and imperceptible.

Her brows and eyes are soft, and she can't stop stroking Ava's belly.

"It must be a very beautiful mixed-race baby."

"You have to hold on," Chen Fu said, "In a few months, you will be able to hold your grandson. I have promised you so many requests, and now I only have one request for you. You have to do it. "

Gao Ru was just about to agree with a smile, when her stomach suddenly started to hurt sharply again, and the tip of her nose was covered in cold sweat from the pain.

She rolled in pain on the bed, startling Ava.

Chen Fu was also startled, and then he hurriedly pressed the emergency bell beside the bed, and asked Ava to watch, and he went to call the doctor.

Gao Ru's condition is still deteriorating step by step, but no one can do anything.

The doctor told Chen Fu that from the very beginning, Gao Ru did not have a strong will to survive. Stomach cancer is a disease with a survival rate of only 20.00%. Compared with other cancers, it may have a high survival rate, but in fact it is not. how high.

The 20.00% of people are still people who desperately want to survive, and some people even failed to survive.

A critical illness notice was issued in the hospital.

Chen Fu suddenly realized that he had done something stupid.

He should hang her.

Gao Ru's only wish was that he would be accompanied by someone dear to him and dear to him in the rest of his life. She never thought of being able to hug her grandson with her own hands.

He should hang her, so that she at least has regrets, the will to survive, and the reason to live.

Now that she has a child, she can finally feel relieved about Chen Fu.

When Gao Ru woke up, Chen Fu was sitting beside her, looking at her with red eyes.

Her expression could even be said to be serene, and she still looked at Chen Fu with that kind of gentle eyes, looking at her only relative in the world, her fingers trembling weakly, she didn't care at all.

"I'm so stupid." Chen Fu covered the tears in his eyes with his hands, "I shouldn't have this child at all, so at least you want to live."

"No...Xiao Fu, you know, even if I don't have this child, even if you don't fulfill my wish, I will die soon."

Her voice is so weak that it can be dissipated by the wind, even in a quiet environment, you have to listen carefully to hear it clearly.

After a long time, Chen Fu buried his head heavily beside Gao Ru's bed. The quilts in the hospital were also sterilized, and Chen Fu could smell the smell of sunlight after being exposed to the sun.

He closed his eyes tightly.

Gao Ru went there on a cloudy afternoon after struggling for two months.

When she closed her eyes, Chen Fu took Ava with her. Ava's stomach was already distended, and her clothes were slightly stretched out, but it wasn't too obvious.

The nanny was crying badly, and the silver strands on her head seemed to have increased after Gao Ru's death. It can be seen that she and Gao Ru really have a deep relationship.

Affected by the heavy atmosphere, Ava has been silent all the time.

On the other hand, Chen Fu seemed to be the calmest of them all, but when the white cloth covering Gao Ru's face was lifted off, he stared at Gao Ru's emaciated, yellowed face with serious eyes, Finally, I covered the white cloth with my own hands.

His movements were slow and steady, and when the white cloth completely covered Gao Ru's face, he suddenly called out to Gao Ru's body, "Mom."

In a daze, Ava felt that there was even some sobs in the mother's voice, with feelings that could not be fully expressed, like a big injured child, completing the final farewell to his mother.

It's the last look, it's really the last look, Chen Fu thought.

From then on, he really has no mother, and his mother will say goodbye to him completely, become a pile of ashes, buried deep in the damp, damp and cold ground, and leave him.

The relatives who are connected with him by blood and blood.

When Gao Ru's body was taken away by the nurse, Chen Fu suddenly remembered the big box of toffee that Gao Ru had prepared for him in his childhood.

So sweet, sweet to the heart.

But his mother left him completely.
