Chapter 493 Marriage

Hearing this, Li Shengjing raised his head abruptly.

Gu Qingyi raised her hands to hold his thin face, and explained to him seriously:

"Don't be afraid. Auntie doesn't mean anything malicious. Auntie just wants to take good care of you. This is the agreement between Auntie and your father."

A flash of pain flashed through Li Shengjing's quiet black pupils, and his eyelids slowly drooped.

Gu Qingyi knew that he was thinking of his father Li Shou, Li Shou would not live long no matter the attempted murder, she really couldn't bear to see this boy become an orphan.

"Sheng'er, are you willing?"

Gu Qingyi asked again, and the little boy finally shook his head:

"Auntie, I don't want to."

Gu Qingyi was a little surprised by the child's answer. She could tell that this child was very smart. He was ten years old, so he should have seen that the conditions and future of the Zhan family were the best choice for him, but he still chose to refuse.

"Can you tell me why?"

She stroked his cheek affectionately, wondering why he refused.

Li Shengjing took a step back slightly, left her touch, lowered his head, and replied quietly:

"Auntie, I am Daddy's child and always will be.

I can be a servant in my aunt's house. I can do a lot of things. I can cook, do laundry, cook, and mop the floor.

As long as my aunt can give me a bowl of food to eat and a bed to sleep in, I can live on. "

Gu Qingyi never thought that such stubborn words would come from a ten-year-old boy.

She didn't doubt that he said that he would do a lot of things. Being abandoned by his mother since he was a child, he must have experienced more than ordinary children. She could see that although this child put himself in a humble position now, his self-esteem could not be tolerated. Trampled, he has his pride.

She turned her head to look at Zhan Shiyan opposite, and also saw a hint of satisfaction in Zhan Shiyan's eyes.

During the war, Yan knew what his wife meant, and said lightly:

"Since you have such an idea, we won't force you. In the future, you should study when you should, and follow Uncle Fu when you don't.

My surname is Zhan, you can call me Uncle Zhan or Mr. Zhan from now on. "

"Understood, sir." After Li Shengjing finished speaking, he retreated behind Uncle Fu, his small stature being well concealed by Uncle Fu.

Gu Qingyi originally thought that Li Shengjing would be too young to bear it, but he didn't expect that he would get up early in the morning to help Uncle Fu water the flower garden as he said, and help Aunt Zhou pick vegetables and clean up after school in the afternoon. .

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Fu also felt sorry for the child, and arranged for him a separate servant's room. Although they never explained what they wanted him to do, Li Shengjing would take the initiative to help, but he was very reticent.

Gu Qingyi looked at the little boy who was cleaning the leaves with the gardener in the garden, turned around and said to Zhan Shiyan:

"Aunt Zhou said that she couldn't hear him say ten words a day, and the most she said was thank you. Husband, he is still a child. Is it not good to be introverted like this?"

"Today Li Shou fell into a coma in court and was sent to the hospital. The test results said he was running out of time. After Li Shou woke up, he called me and said he wanted to see Sheng Jing."

"How did the condition deteriorate so quickly?" Gu Qingyi was a little surprised.

"Tomorrow, I will take him to the hospital. Most likely, this will be the last time their father and son will see each other." During the war, Yan gathered the shawl of the man in his arms:

"Don't worry about it. Although Sheng Jing is young, she is a child with strong will and backbone. You are in serious health now, and the night wind is cool. You'd better go inside and don't catch a cold."

"Ah."

On the second day, Gu Qingyi and Zhan Shiyan took Li Shengjing to the hospital. Gu Qingyi went to his father's ward, but his father was still unconscious. With Uncle Cheng and the nurses taking care of him, there was nothing unusual except that he couldn't wake up.

She waited in the ward for two hours before Yan came back during the war. The little boy following him kept his head down, but Gu Qingyi saw the teardrops pattering on the ground.

Sheng Jing was crying.

When Yan arrived at her side during the war, he whispered:

"He sent his dad off for the last time."

When Gu Qingyi heard the news, she felt a fishbone stuck in her throat. For a while, she didn't even know how to comfort the child who lost her father.

On the day of Li Shou's burial, Gu Qingyi didn't go. It was Yan who brought Sheng Jing back to his hometown during the war. After returning, the fatherless child became even more taciturn, but he worked harder in Zhanyuan.

Gu Qingyi was worried that he would be bored if he continued like this, so he took him and Aunt Zhou to the mall that day.

"Sheng Jing, Auntie sees that you come and go with just a few sets of clothes. When you come out today, tell Auntie what style of clothes you like, and Auntie will buy you a few sets to change."

Li Shengjing looked up at the children's clothing store in front of him, and shook his head without thinking:

"Auntie, I have clothes to wear, so I don't need to buy them."

Gu Qingyi knew that he would say this, so she changed the phrase:

"Sheng'er, you are now a member of Zhanyuan. You have been in Zhanyuan for so long. You should know that Zhanyuan is not an ordinary family. Even a gardener's servants at home dress very decently. Although you are a child , can't you think that you are not important to know?"

Li Shengjing's eyes flickered, looking at the good-looking young and gentle woman in front of him, he knew that the aunt didn't dislike that he would lose Zhan Yuan's face because of his poor clothes, but wanted to treat himself well.

He bowed his head and didn't refuse any more.

When Gu Qingyi entered the store, she handed over the selection to Aunt Zhou. Seeing that there was a baby section in the children's clothing store, she went to the baby section for a look.

Although the clothes in the baby area are small, the fabrics are very soft to the touch. Gu Qingyi liked it very much at first glance, and couldn't help but pick and choose a lot.

Gu Qingyi was on the rise, and Li Shengjing's voice came from behind:

"Auntie has a baby?"

Gu Qingyi turned around, a little surprised, this was the first time this child had spoken to herself since entering Zhanyuan, she smiled:

"Yeah, it's only been two months."

Li Shengjing's gaze involuntarily stopped on her flat abdomen:

"That's great, Auntie is going to be a mother."

Although Gu Qingyi felt that his exclamation sounded a little grammatical, she was still very happy that he could speak more:

"Can you help Auntie choose the baby's clothes? Auntie is almost too picky."

"can."

Seeing that the child's attention had finally shifted, Gu Qingyi let go of the worry in her heart.

After Aunt Zhou came, the three of them joined the army of choosing baby clothes. Li Shengjing also chose a lot of rattles, saying that they could entertain the baby when the time came.

After looking at the baby's clothes, Gu Qingyi didn't have enough time to enjoy herself, so she went to the mother-baby section to choose a crib. Seeing the colorful and gentle colors, she felt that she was looking forward to the baby's arrival even more.

While hesitating whether to buy a pink crib or a blue crib, Gu Qingyi suddenly heard an interview video on the large LED screen in the mall:

"The marriage of the Zhan family and the Gong family in the first city is imminent, and the two powerful families will join forces. The business world is bound to undergo a new round of reshuffle."
