Luo Xuan sneered contemptuously, “Don’t tell me you don’t know Shen Chu E! Not even acknowledging your own child, what kind of man are you? Chu E was truly blind to have fallen for a useless person like you!” After throwing out these contemptuous words, he patted his clothes and left, disregarding Yunzhi’s stunned expression.
Unexpectedly, the doctor who was supposed to examine him was not there, reportedly on vacation and not returning for two months.
So, he went to the same hospital he had visited two years ago. He remembered that the doctor who examined them then was a distant relative of Song Yunhua’s, surnamed Zhang.
When he arrived, Aunt Zhang happened to be on duty. Yunzhi glanced at her name tag: Zhang Lan. Having not seen each other for two years, Zhang Lan no longer recognized him and asked professionally, “What seems to be bothering you?”
Yunzhi smiled slightly, “Aunt, don’t you remember me?”
Zhang Lan was somewhat surprised, “Who are you?”
“I’m Yunhua’s husband, Gu Yunzhi!”
“Oh—” Zhang Lan finally remembered, her face immediately filling with a smile, “I recall now! You’re the young man from the Gu family.”
Two years ago, you and Yunhua came here for a checkup…”
Working in such a place, she rarely encountered familiar faces, and her daily work was monotonous with few people to talk to. Seeing Yunzhi, Zhang Lan inexplicably felt more comfortable. She looked at him caringly, “How are things? Still no children? Haven’t you adopted one?”
Yunzhi gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
“Alas!” Zhang Lan sighed, “Yunhua following you is considered a blessing. Anyone else would have divorced long ago. It’s fortunate that your Gu family still treats her this way…”
Yunzhi carefully pondered her words, feeling there was more to them. So he continued along her line of conversation, “Yunhua has always gotten along well with my parents, and they really like her…”
Zhang Lan reflected, “After all, she’s a university professor. Yunhua’s mother entrusted her to you before dying, and it seems she didn’t misjudge…” As she spoke, she became emotional, her eyes nearly welling up with tears.
Yunzhi quickly tried to steer the conversation back, “Aunt, I came today to get another checkup, to see if there’s been any improvement…”
