Chapter 1616: Chapter 1315: My Name Is Yu Dou_2

Especially after what happened at the hospital yesterday, he became even more worried, wanting to call her several times, but in the end, he never dialed.

After hearing she had come, he hurriedly asked Ji Xia to welcome her, but as soon as Ji Xia left, he felt uneasy again, planning to go himself to find her.

Unexpectedly, before he had a chance to open the door, it swung open, and standing at the entrance was Shi Nuan.

He was somewhat surprised but quickly understood.

Shi Nuan had come to the Shi Family, not for anything else, but simply to find him.

Looking at Shi Nuan’s condition, although not very good, it wasn’t too bad either.

This little girl had indeed changed from the girl eleven years ago who only knew how to stand silently in front of her mother’s grave.

She had grown up, become strong, and the one in heaven should be at ease now.

He said, "Tell me, what do you want with me?"

Shi Nuan took a deep breath and paused for a moment before saying, "It’s like this, I want to ask you about some things regarding your cousin Li Guirong and also... my mother, Xu Hua..."

Yu Dou’s eyes trembled. He didn’t speak, just quietly watched Shi Nuan, trying hard not to let the emotions stirring inside show.

After a slight pause, he asked, "Well... go on!"

Shi Nuan said, "I think Mr. Yu, you have also heard that my mother was forced to her death by Li Guirong. Not only that, but the accident that led my mother to be hospitalized was also her doing. Although I’ve heard that it was after Li Guirong entered the Shi Family that you were found by her, I always felt that Mr. Yu, you are not such a passive person, so you must know something about Li Guirong’s actions, right?"

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, you should have stayed in S City for about half a year. It was during that time that you met Yang Jing. I checked afterward, and the time you went to S City happened to be after my mother passed away. You came back once in the middle, just to attend the wedding of Li Guirong and my father. But on the wedding day, you didn’t appear at the wedding either. Instead, I met you at the cemetery... I want to know, Mr. Yu, did you know my mother? Or did you know about Li Guirong and my father early on and felt sorry for my mother? Or to be bolder, did you know about Li Guirong framing or even forcing my mother to her death?"

Yu Dou’s eyes trembled for a moment, then he lowered his head, picked up the tea by his side, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shi Nuan watched him, not in a hurry. She was waiting for him. She believed that at such a time, Yu Dou wouldn’t refuse to tell her!

Sure enough, after drinking two cups of tea in a row, Yu Dou finally spoke, "I indeed knew your mother... but unfortunately, your mother probably didn’t know me!"

Shi Nuan was taken aback, "My mother didn’t know you? This means you knew my mother through Li Guirong? Then you must know about Li Guirong forcing my mother to her death, right?"

"No..." Yu Dou shook his head, "I didn’t know. My knowing your mother had nothing to do with Li Guirong. I only later learned that my cousin destroyed—turned out to be your mother’s marriage!"

Shi Nuan was even more puzzled, "Then how did you know my mother? I don’t understand!"

Yu Dou lowered his brows, chuckled slightly, but that smile appeared very bitter to Shi Nuan.

He said, "Nuannuan, you truly are smart, just like your mother, smart. Of course, you share your mother’s kindness, but compared to her, there’s still a bit of a gap... Your mother was the kindest, most gentle woman I have ever met. In my heart, what does she count as? A savior, a living bodhisattva... There should be better words to describe her, but I cannot think of them. In short, your mother, in my heart, is inviolable!"

Yu Dou looked at Shi Nuan, and said, "Nuannuan, even though you were very young at that time, I believe you should remember that your mother supported many poor students and many difficult families. Luckily, I was one of the poor students she supported!"

...

Yu Dou recalled that he was about twelve years old that year, and that winter was especially cold.

It was the year his parents both passed away successively, leaving only his elderly grandmother to live with him.

His family was from the countryside, and his grandmother usually managed to get by through planting some vegetables and picking up scraps. His father had a bad gambling habit, and his mother, disheartened, asked for a divorce several times and wanted to leave.

If it weren’t for the reluctance to leave him, his mother would have left long ago.

Later, she fell ill from overworking and passed away, and not long after, his father, drunk, accidentally fell into the river, both parents dying within a year.

After they were gone, they left no savings behind for them.
