Chapter 7

Gu Man put away the gift into an end-table by the bed, then handed a cup of water to An Qian .

“Thank you so much,” An Qian took the water and thanked politely .

“Gu Ning, how’s your body?” An Qian asked .

“Oh, I’m fine now, and ready to leave,” Gu Ning replied .

“Really?” An Qian was happy for Gu Ning, “Congratulations!”

“Thanks,” Gu Ning said .

After a while, An Qian walked Gu Ning and her mother out of the hospital .

Gu Man knew An Qian was working in this hospital, she didn’t want to bother An Qian, so she disagreed .

But An Qian insisted, so Gu Man accepted her offer .

While on the way out, An Qian had already called the taxi for them . Gu Man couldn’t thank An Qian enough for what she had done .

As for Gu Ning, she was at ease though, but she still thanked An Qian out of politeness .

When Gu Ning finally left the hospital, she felt super free and comfortable .

After half an hour, the two were home at last .

Gu Ning and her mother lived in an old alley at the old district . It was too old and about to be demolished sooner or later .

Therefore, Gu Ning and her mother wouldn’t stay here for much longer .

This house was the property of Gu Ning’s grandparents . When her grandpa had passed away 10 years ago, her grandma moved to live with her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang .

And the house became the home of Gu Ning and her mother .

But they needed to pay the rent .

Since they were family, Gu Ning and her mother only needed to pay half of the rent .

It was an old area in the old district with old amenities, so the rent wasn’t high .

The house had two floors . Each floor was around 40 square meters . The first floor was living room, kitchen and bathroom, and there were three rooms on the second floor .

In the past, when the Gu family had lived together, Gu Ning’s grandparents had shared a room, her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang, and third uncle, Gu Qinyang, had shared another, while the third room was shared by Gu Qing and Gu Man . It had been extremely crowded .

Then, Gu Qinxiang became rich and bought another house . Gu Qinyang had got a cradle-to-grave job with a house allotted by his company . The Gu family had lived a better life afterwards .

But this old house had been left with some basic furniture, without any household appliances .

Gu Ning was astonished to know that her family was dirt poor .

Tang Aining, in her previous incarnation, had never ever lived such a miserable life .

Luckily, Gu Ning didn’t feel hopeless, but satisfied, because she had the strong deep love from her mother .



She wanted to earn money as soon as possible to let Gu Man live an affluent life .

The first thing Gu Ning wanted to do after she earned money was to buy a big house, then buy some good clothes and expensive skincare products for Gu Man . She wanted her mother to enjoy her life .

Gu Man wasn’t an old woman actually . She was only 39 years old . There were a lot she could do for the rest of her life .

For 18 years, Gu Man had stayed single .


Gu Man was pretty indeed, and had many admirers, but she didn’t want Gu Ning to feel uncomfortable, so she never agreed to marry again .

Since Gu Ning had grown-up now, probably it is time for Gu Man to chase for her own happiness . So Gu Ning made up her mind to find her mother a good man in the future .

As for Gu Ning’s biological father, Gu Man never talked about him . Even their relatives had no idea who he was .

All Gu Ning knew was that Gu Man got pregnant when she was just 19 . Gu Man had been in her second semester as a freshman in her college, then she dropped out of her school and gone home .

At that time, the Gu family were all astonished by the fact . It was beyond their imagination that the most docile girl in their family would have done such a bad thing .

It was a great humiliation to them . They all agreed to have Gu Man abort the baby .

Gu Man was unwilling to abort her child . To keep her baby, Gu Man left her family, and worked outside on her own .

It had been a hard time . Gu Man hadn’t successfully got any job due to her pregnancy, and Gu Qing had taken care of her .

Gu Ning’s grandpa had been alive at that time, and he had always loved Gu Man, his youngest daughter, so he had brought Gu Man home at the end .



During the time when Gu Ning’s grandpa had been alive, Gu Ning had been under the care of her grandpa, while Gu Man had worked hard to earn money .

Since Gu Man had lived in her parents’ house, her income had always been used by the whole household .

Ten years ago, Gu Ning’s grandpa had passed away . Her grandma had moved to live with her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang .

Gu Qinxiang and Gu Qinyang had been unwilling to let Gu Man occupy their parents’ house, so they had persuaded their mother to ask for rent .

“Ningning, have a rest on the bed first . I’ll cook now . And don’t forget to change your clothes . I’ll do the laundry later . ” Gu Man said .

“Mom, you can cook, and let me do the laundry . ” Gu Ning felt sorry for Gu Man, who was skinny and always reminded her of her mother from the last lifetime . She wanted to do something for her .

“No, you’re the patient,” Gu Man disagreed .

“I’m fine now,” Gu Ning argued .

“I said no,” Gu Man pretended that she was mad .

“Fine,” Gu Ning gave up .

Half an hour later, the meal was ready .

Because they lived a poor life, the meal was very simple . They didn’t have meat normally, except today, because Gu Ning had just left the hospital .

During the dinner, Gu Man kept sending the meat into Gu Ning’s bowl, while herself didn’t have a piece at all .



Gu Ning was moved and about to cry . Actually, Gu Man now needed nutrition more than Gu Ning .

“Mom, there’s enough meat . Please have some yourself . It’s hot today, and we better not leave it to the night . It will be smelly . ” Gu Ning immediately gave Gu Man several pieces of meat .

Gu Man surely knew what was on Gu Ning’s mind, but she didn’t reject because she didn’t want to hurt her daughter .

However, she felt sad in her heart .

She blamed herself for being unable to provide her daughter a good life .

After dinner, Gu Man urged Gu Ning to take a rest in her room . Gu Ning didn’t want to lie down, but to hang out on the antique street .

She wanted to try her Jade eyes and win some money .

Gu Ning took out her savings of 500 yuan and her ID card, “Mom, I want to have a walk, and I’ll be back soon . ”

Gu Man was worried, because Gu Ning had just left the hospital, “But, you need a rest now . You just left the hospital . ”

“No worries, mom . I’m fine now . A walk and the sunshine are good for my health as well . ” Gu Ning replied .

“But…” Gu Man was still slightly worried .

“Mom, I’m not a little girl anymore . I’ll take good care of myself . And, I have my phone with me . You can call me if you’re worried,” Gu Ning said to comfort her mother .
