Chapter 184 Meeting with old friends
After finishing her prenatal checkup that day, Aunt Li accompanied Gu Zhiyao around and they unknowingly ended up at the Ferris wheel.
Seeing Gu Zhiyao standing still, looking up at the Ferris wheel, Aunt Li couldn't help but laugh and say, "Are you thinking of bringing your baby to ride this in the future? But you'll have to wait until he's a few years old before he can ride it. He's a boy, so he's more daring. Besides, he's President He's son. I guess he should be able to ride it when he's two."
As Aunt Li recounted her story, Gu Zhiyao unconsciously conjured up a beautiful image in her mind, and a look of loving joy appeared in her eyes.
"Zhiyao." Suddenly, a voice called out to her.
Gu Zhiyao turned her head and saw a young man, but she didn't recognize him!
Looking at the gentle and refined stranger, Gu Zhiyao frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt.
The other person had already walked up to her, and was so excited that it took him a long time to speak, "You are Zhiyao, Gu Zhiyao, right?"
"Sir, who are you? Don't come any closer." Before Gu Zhiyao could react, Aunt Li had already shielded her.
Gu Zhiyao waved her hand at Aunt Li and continued to stare at the man in front of her. She felt a sense of familiarity, but she really didn't know who he was and had no recollection of him.
The other person is kind, benevolent, and harmless!
Gu Zhiyao then quickly asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Xiao Lin. Are you Gu Zhiyao?"
Xiao Lin!
Is he Xiao Lin's older brother?
really?
Gu Zhiyao scrutinized the other person again, recalling Xiao Lin from her memories. He was only 10 years old when he left the orphanage. Because of poor nutrition in the orphanage, sometimes they didn't even have enough to eat, and everyone was very thin. Although Xiao Lin was already 1.2 meters tall back then, he was very different from now. Now he is at least 1.8 meters tall, and his whole demeanor is different.
However, Gu Zhiyao still noticed that the outline was somewhat similar.
And since he could call out her name and also said his own name was Xiao Lin, it means he couldn't be wrong.
Yes, he actually recognized her. She's different now than before, especially since she's pregnant...
Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears.
Then, she was pulled directly into a broad embrace.
A warm embrace brings safety.
Gu Zhiyao's tears continued to flow, and she kept murmuring, "Brother Xiaolin, is it really you? I thought I would never see you again in this life. Do you still remember our promise? Every time I come here, I think of our promise from back then. I have never ridden the Ferris wheel. I am waiting for you to come back and ride it with me."
Xiao Lin's body trembled slightly, and his large hand around Gu Zhiyao tightened. "I'm sorry, Zhiyao. I've always wanted to come back and find you, but too many things happened afterward. I... lost my memory."
"You have amnesia?" Gu Zhiyao immediately got out of his arms.
Xiao Lin nodded. "After I arrived in Canada with my adoptive parents, I was suddenly in a car accident and lost my memory when I woke up. It wasn't until half a year ago that I regained my memory and then tried to come back here. I went to the orphanage, and the director told me that you had been recommended to study abroad. I felt disappointed and unknowingly ended up here..."
Xiao Lin's gaze swept over Gu Zhiyao's prominently protruding belly, and he continued, "Weren't you studying abroad? Also, you're married?"
Meeting Xiao Lin's concerned yet puzzled gaze, Gu Zhiyao had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it. Just then, her stomach suddenly moved.
Xiao Lin looked startled upon seeing this. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with the baby?"
Gu Zhiyao shook her head, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous. She gently rubbed her abdomen with her delicate hand and said, "The baby is moving. He's very naughty and keeps moving around inside. He probably can't wait to come out."
Xiao Lin was relieved. He looked around and saw Aunt Li. He then said, "You're pregnant, and standing for so long must be tiring. Why don't we find a place to sit down? Zhiyao, I have a lot to tell you, and I want to know how you've been all these years."
“Okay.” Gu Zhiyao nodded and told Aunt Li, “Auntie, this is the older brother I met at the orphanage. His name is Xiao Lin. We used to be very close. He loved me the most. He was adopted when he was ten years old and then went abroad. He came back to find me this time.”
Aunt Li had been silently observing the situation and couldn't help but feel happy for Gu Zhiyao. She felt a little awkward towards Xiao Lin, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I didn't know you and Zhiyao knew each other. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way."
"It's alright, Aunt Li, thank you for taking care of Zhiyao," Xiao Lin said.
"You're welcome!" In a short time, Aunt Li had already gotten a general idea that Xiao Lin was a very polite, gentle and refined person, and she immediately developed a good impression of him.
Next, they went to a nearby coffee shop. Aunt Li said that they must have a lot to talk about since they had met after so many years, and she didn't want to bother them, so she went outside to wander around by herself. Gu Zhiyao let her have her way, and she and Xiao Lin sat down in a booth.
Xiao Lin looked at Gu Zhiyao thoughtfully for a while before asking directly, "Zhiyao, is your husband good to you? What does he do? How old is he? Also, why did you lie to the headmistress and say you were going abroad to study?"
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Zhiyao roughly explained the situation.
Xiao Lin was shocked for a long time after hearing this. He looked at Gu Zhiyao in disbelief, but he knew that Gu Zhiyao would not talk nonsense. Moreover, he saw the grief that Gu Zhiyao was trying her best to suppress in her eyes.
Then, indignantly, she asked, "What's that man's name?"
"He Yi, the president of the He Group."
"It's him!"
"You know him?"
Xiao Lin nodded and told Gu Zhiyao about his situation over the years.
It turns out that the couple who adopted Xiao Lin later made a fortune in business and opened a large company in Canada, which happened to have a partnership with the He Group's branch there!
I didn't expect such a coincidence.
"Brother Xiao Lin, you mean you later studied molecular biology? You're a biological scientist?"
"I wouldn't call myself a scientist, more like a researcher. I started by doing it myself, but as the team grew, my adoptive father got older and wanted me to take over the company's business. So now I rarely do research myself; I delegate it to people below me."
that's nice!
Who would have thought that the skinny, ordinary boy would transform into an outstanding molecular biologist!
Yes, since he's so skilled in this field, then he must be...
Gu Zhiyao made no attempt to hide her plans.
Xiao Lin was shocked again after hearing this, "You plan to take the child away, are you sure?"
“Zheng Yuanxi can’t have children. They want my children, but Xiao Lin, I don’t want to give any of them to them. These are all my children, my closest relatives, especially this boy. He kicks me every day, and I can feel his presence all the time. These beautiful memories are deeply engraved in my mind. The thought of losing him makes me feel so painful that I can’t breathe. I can’t let him go with other women, I can’t let him recognize other women as his mother. Besides, since he is my child, Zheng Yuanxi will definitely not treat him well!” Gu Zhiyao’s tone was extremely firm.
