The love is so deep that Mr. Gu is crazy
Chapter 13 Irreparable Doubt
Since the old man has spoken, Shen Li can't refuse. She thought that this has been done many times in nursing homes, and they are just elderly people who need care.
So he walked forward with a smile and took the wheelchair from Uncle Jin.
"I just need to help digest my food. Grandpa, which way are we going?"
Uncle Jin quickly stepped forward to lead the way: "Young Madam, follow me this way."
Gu Jingcheng looked at Shen Li pushing Gu Zhengrong away, hesitating whether to follow them. He had already taken a step forward, but suddenly stopped.
"Forget it, I guess it's nothing, she should be able to handle it."
Then he went upstairs.
Shen Li followed Uncle Jin all the way through the corridor. Behind the villa was a large green meadow with an agate stone path winding through it.
At the other end of the lawn is a well-tended garden and a retro-designed pavilion. The automatic sprinkler system on the lawn is spraying water to water the lawn.
Shen Li was shocked by the back garden at first sight!
The sanatorium where she worked was the first choice for many dignitaries when they needed treatment. The environment was one of the best in Kyoto, and the gardens were specially designed by famous designers. However, it was far inferior to the backyard of the villa in front of her.
Uncle Jin gave a few brief instructions to the servants in the yard, and soon all the irrigation nozzles stopped working to make it easier for Grandpa Gu to take a walk.
"This environment is better than our nursing home."
Shen Li couldn't help but express his inner feelings.
"If you like, you can live here with Ah Cheng forever, so that I won't be alone as an old man without anyone to talk to."
"I'm glad to be with Grandpa, too."
Shen Li answered the question irrelevantly. Who knows if Gu Zhengrong's leg will be healed one day? She left the next day.
Besides, it is impossible for her to live here for a long time. Her mind is clear.
She didn't dare to make a promise about such an uncertain thing, so it was better for her to say less.
"I hope you don't mind me being old and useless."
"How could that be, Grandpa? It's normal for people to get sick from eating whole grains. I grew up in an orphanage as far as I can remember. You don't know how much I long for a grandfather as kind and amiable as you. I can't wait to get close to you, so how could I dislike you?"
Shen Li spoke of his unfortunate life experience as if it were nothing, with a smile on his face, which made Gu Zhengrong feel uncomfortable.
He patted Shen Li's hand: "You will have a good life from now on. You have a family and a grandfather."
Shen Li's eyes suddenly turned red. Gu Zhengrong's wrinkled hands were so warm. She was obviously just hired by Gu Jingcheng.
Seeing Shen Li remained silent for a while, Gu Zhengrong turned around and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
Only then did he notice that Shen Li's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. When he saw it, she covered her eyes in panic and turned her head away.
"Oh, why are you crying?"
"It's okay, Grandpa. I'm just happy. Thank you for being so kind to me."
The earliest memory in Shen Li's mind was that the director of the orphanage, Long Ping, half-knelt in front of her, handed her a doll, and took out a handful of candy from her bag and put it in her palm.
She thought she would never forget that day, Dean Long’s kind smile and warm embrace.
When she was a child, she was small, pale and thin. There were always some children in school who would bully her, and Dean Long would always protect her.
Dean Long has no children of his own and has devoted all his life's efforts to the orphanage.
Shen Li originally thought that when she grew up and made enough money to buy a big house in Kyoto, she would bring Dean Long to live with her, take care of her, and let her enjoy her old age.
Unfortunately, Long Ping died of overwork and illness before she grew up, and remained forever in Shen Li's life on the night when she took the college entrance examination at the age of 18.
This has become a regret that Shen Li can never make up for.
Gu Zhengrong's eyes were filled with heartache when he heard this. He kept stroking the back of Shen Li's hand, trying to give her some comfort.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I shouldn't say such sad things to you. Look how solemn the atmosphere is." Shen Li sniffed and smiled bitterly.
Gu Zhengrong kept shaking his head and held Shen Li's hand even tighter, "Good boy, you have suffered a lot these years, don't be sad, grandpa will protect you from now on."
Shen Li smiled gratefully, but his eyes were evasive when he looked at Gu Zhengrong.
Gu Zhengrong took out a brocade box from his pocket and stroked it carefully. One could tell at a glance that it was a beloved object.
"This is for you." Gu Zhengrong's tone was a bit like using candy to coax a crying child, gentle and soft.
Shen Li was stunned when he saw the brocade box in Gu Zhengrong's hand.
"Ah, ah? For me? What is this?"
"This is what Cheng's grandmother left for her future granddaughter-in-law."
As Gu Zhengrong explained, he opened the brocade box, revealing an emerald bracelet.
Even though Shen Li was an outsider, he could tell that the jade was very valuable, and he immediately waved his hands in panic.
"No, no, this thing looks very valuable, I can't accept it, Grandpa."
Gu Zhengrong closed the box and kept handing it to Shen Li, "This is not a valuable thing, it's just a token of my deceased grandmother's love. Take it quickly."
Shen Li's whole body was filled with resistance. This thing was worthless in the eyes of Mr. Gu. If she took it, it would be too hot to handle. If it got bumped, she wouldn't be able to pay for it even if she sold herself.
"No, no, no, this is for Gu Jingcheng's wife. What's the big deal if I take it?"
Shen Li spoke without thinking for a moment. He was only focused on rejecting the valuable gift in front of him and did not realize that he had said the wrong thing.
"Huh? Haha, you look so nervous, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Uh... yes, haha, you see I am so anxious that I am confused. What I mean is that this thing is too valuable. How about you keep it for now, Grandpa? I am afraid I might lose it."
Shen Li was embarrassed, but he managed to smooth over the matter.
Gu Zhengrong smiled, opened the brocade box, took Shen Li's hand, and put the bracelet directly on her hand.
During the whole process, Shen Li didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally dropping something.
Shen Li only felt her wrist sink, and the bracelet was firmly on her hand. The emerald green bracelet made her hand look particularly white.
Gu Zhengrong took her hand and looked at it, looking very satisfied: "Look, the size is just right. Yours is a bracelet, and Ah Cheng's is a pair of cufflinks. They make a pair, how nice."
Shen Li looked at the bracelet on his wrist, feeling at a loss for a moment.
"This is a gift from the elders. His grandmother is gone, but I, an old man, have to pass this thing on to her. Otherwise, when I pass away, the old lady will blame me."
Unable to refuse, Shen Li carefully protected the bracelet on her wrist, thinking that she would keep it first and return it to Gu Jingcheng later. If she refused, she was afraid that Gu Jingcheng would become suspicious.
"Then...thank you grandpa, and thank you grandma."
Only then did Gu Zhengrong happily ask Uncle Jin to come over and push him. Originally, she asked Shen Li to accompany him for a walk for this purpose.
Shen Li didn't dare put her hands down at all, and just held them carefully in front of her body, for fear that they would fall off if worn unstable. The wheelchair was also pushed by Uncle Jin, and she just sat beside him and chatted with Gu Zhengrong.
Gu Zhengrong told her many stories about Gu Jingcheng's childhood, and before they knew it, it was dark.
If it hadn't been for the slight wind, Gu Zhengrong would have coughed twice and was urged by Uncle Jin to go back and rest. He was afraid that he would tell Shen Li everything about Gu Jingcheng from childhood to adulthood.
Gu Zhengrong was rarely happy and didn't want to go back.
"Okay, Grandpa, we've been out for a long time. There's a lot of time left. You can tell me slowly later, okay?"
Shen Li's tone was gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
Maybe it's because old people still have the mentality of children, Shen Li's trick is very effective.
The first thing Shen Li did when he returned was to look for Gu Jingcheng.
