Chapter 856: Mom Misses Him

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During the night, Gu Zi tossed and turned restlessly. Su Shen was, after all, her constant companion, treating her well and generously providing for her. It was only right, both emotionally and logically, that she should pay him a visit.

This wasn’t a romantic notion, but rather a testament to her understanding of gratitude and reciprocation.

Yes, that was it. She resolved to journey to the capital to find the older man, determined to see him, alive or dead.

The following day dawned with a gentle sunlight. Gao Ming arrived at the Su residence early in the morning. “Aunt Gu Zi,” he said, “I came because I smelled something delicious. My nose is quite sharp, isn’t it?”

Gu Zi placed a steaming egg custard down and tenderly patted the young boy’s head. Remembering his lack of parental care from a young age, she spoke to him with an especially gentle tone. “Your nose is the sharpest. Go wash your hands quickly, and eat soon. We’re a bit late today.”

Gao Ming nodded, washed his hands, and picked up his bowl of porridge to take a sniff. It smelled wonderful. Aunt Gu Zi’s porridge was always the best. The table was laden with a feast of delicious food: egg custard, soy beef slices, soy lettuce, and pickles. Each dish looked mouth-watering!

Seeing his older brothers almost finished with their meals, he hurriedly began to eat. In his haste, he ended up with food smeared all over his face, rice clinging to his cheeks, and egg custard on his nose. But Gao Ming didn’t waste a single morsel, scooping up everything with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth, even the fallen strands of pickles from the table.

Suddenly, he remembered something. “Oh no, I forgot to mention something. Big Brother, Second Brother, our driver called in sick today. We’ll have to walk to school. Will we be late?”

Su Bing glanced at his wristwatch. “We are a bit late, but we have bicycles. I’ll take you, and Su Li, you can ride on your own.”

Gao Ming’s eyes widened with envy at the sight of Su Bing’s square metal wristwatch. “Big Brother, you actually have a wristwatch. That’s so cool!”

Seeing this, Su Li quickly raised his hand to show off his own wristwatch, a broad smile spreading across his face. “I have one too! This is a gift from our mother for winning a competition!”

Gao Ming looked on wistfully, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. “I’ll go home and ask my grandmother to buy me a wristwatch. I don’t want toys anymore!”
