Chapter 457 No one stays in the same place forever.
She never touched shrimp when we used to order them.

Lu Shengsheng snorted: "Who said I hate eating shrimp? I just hate peeling shrimp. Now that someone is peeling shrimp for me, I really enjoy eating it."

Gu Ronghui: "..."

Lu Wenzhou placed the peeled shrimp on her plate, saying, "I'll peel as many as you like."

"Thank you, Brother Wenzhou..." Lu Shengsheng said in a deliberately coquettish tone.

Those present were so disgusted by the cheesy sentimentality that they got goosebumps all over, and Gu Ronghui's face was so gloomy it could drip ink.

Lu Wenzhou knew that she was deliberately calling Gu Ronghui that to provoke her, but he was still very happy and cooperated with her, saying, "Baby, you're welcome."

"You guys eat, I have to go first." Gu Rong couldn't sit down anymore, so she got up and left.

Lin Leyang immediately got up and left with him.

Seeing him leave, Lu Shengsheng was in a great mood and instructed Lu Wenzhou, "I want to eat this too."

Qin Yishen said helplessly, "Little Miss, can't you just calm down? Why did you provoke him?!"

"What did I do?" Lu Shengsheng blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking completely innocent.

Qin Yishen couldn't say anything to her, so he could only give Liang Hanyue a look, asking her to persuade her.

We're all in the same circle, we see each other all the time, it's not good to make things awkward.

Liang Hanyue seemed unable to understand his gaze and teased, "Lu Wenzhou, you just keep spoiling her."

Lu Wenzhou smiled faintly, "If I don't spoil her, who will I spoil? You? I'm afraid Chairman Jin will kill me!"

"How come I never realized you were such a love-obsessed person before?"

"It's not too late to know now." Lu Wenzhou was not ashamed but rather proud.

Liang Hanyue couldn't take it anymore and stopped talking.

Gu Ronghui didn't get into the car, but instead stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette.

When he thought of the scabbed wound on his hand, his heart clenched and a sharp pain swept over him.

"Ah Hui..." Lin Leyang approached, unable to see through the thin mist of the man who once revolved around her. "Are you alright?"

Gu Rong responded with an "Mmm" and then fell silent.

Lin Leyang could sense that his emotions were being influenced by Lu Shengsheng, which was not a good sign.

"Ah Hui, I don't plan to go back this time." She spoke carefully, her clear and bright eyes looking at him with expectation. "You understand what I mean, right?"

In the dim light, Gu Ronghui's body suddenly stiffened. Before he could react, Lin Leyang had already taken the initiative to hug his waist.

"Ah Hui, I regret it."

"If only I hadn't given up on you because of my studies back then."

Gu Rong let her hug him, his throat tightening silently, and he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't push her away, Lin Leyang spoke again, "Ah Hui, let's forget the past and start over."

Lu Shengsheng and Lu Wenzhou came out and saw this tender scene, and their steps suddenly stopped.

Lu Wenzhou looked at her with concern in his eyes.

She didn't react much and quickly got into the car.

The hospital called to say that her mother's condition had changed and she had to rush back to the hospital.

Gu Ronghui also saw Lu Shengsheng, but she didn't expect that Lu Shengsheng would not react at all and would get into the car and leave with Lu Wenzhou.

Feeling heavy-hearted and depressed, I didn't even pay attention to what Lin Leyang was saying.

"Ah Hui, Ah Hui..." Lin Leyang's eyes dimmed when she saw him lost in thought.

Gu Rong snapped out of his daze, reached out and pulled her away, his throat tightening as he forced out a sentence. He said, "Yangyang, no one stays in the same place forever, including me!"

Lin Leyang's face instantly drained of all color, turning ashen white.

hospital.

Lu Shengsheng asked the doctor impatiently, "How is my mother?"

"Her condition began to worsen, and although we changed her medication, the effect was not ideal."

The doctor's expression was grave. "You'd better be prepared. If this condition gets out of control, it could last for just a few days."

Lu Shengsheng's body trembled uncontrollably, and she could barely stand.

Lu Wenzhou quickly caught her, and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Is there no other way?"

The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry, we can consider chemotherapy, but it will be very difficult for the patient, and the results won't be very good."

They're just barely hanging on, taking it one day at a time.

With red eyes, Lu Shengsheng said, "Thank you, doctor."

Lu Wenzhou helped her sit down beside him and comforted her, "It's okay, everything will be alright..."

"I'm fine, I just..." Lu Shengsheng's voice choked, her heart aching unbearably, "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly..."

Lu Wenzhou gently patted her back, unsure of what to say to comfort her.

After an unknown amount of time, he whispered, "Let's go in and check on Auntie."

Lu Shengsheng nodded, stood up, took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked into the ward with feigned ease.

Lu Wenzhou didn't go in, leaving the time for the mother and daughter.

"Mom..." Lu Shengsheng walked to the bedside and sat down, "How are you feeling today?"

"It's alright." Lu's mother was pale and bloodless, but she still forced herself to comfort her. "You're back so soon? Why didn't you play a little longer?"

"There's nothing fun about it." Lu Shengsheng didn't want her to see her red eyes, so she deliberately leaned against her. "Don't you want me to stay with you?"

“What mother wouldn’t want her daughter to spend more time with her?” Lu’s mother sighed. “It’s just that you’re in the prime of your career right now, and you’ve found a boyfriend. You should be living a rich and exciting life every day, but instead you’re spending all your time in the hospital. I’m the one who’s holding you back…”

"Don't talk about being a burden or not." Lu Shengsheng said, holding back her tears. "When I was little, you gave everything to give birth to me and were good to me. Now it's my turn to be with you. Isn't that what I should do?"

Lu's mother gently stroked her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "Sheng Sheng, promise your mother something."

"what?"

"If I become critically ill again, do not attempt resuscitation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Shengsheng suddenly looked up: "Mom..."

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Lu's mother felt a lump in her throat, and, suppressing her grief and reluctance, calmly said, "Being sick is a very difficult thing. We all know this illness is incurable, and dragging it out will only make me suffer more. Sheng Sheng, Mom has worked hard all her life. Now, can I be a little selfish?"

Tears streaming down her face, Lu Shengsheng forced a smile and nodded, "Okay."

Mother Lu patted her head with satisfaction, "Our Sheng Sheng has grown up and can understand her mother now."

Lu Shengsheng lowered her head and let her tears flow freely down her face.

Lu's mother said softly, "Don't be sad. I just went to find your father. We've been separated for too long. I was afraid that if I didn't go to him soon, he would leave with someone else."

Lu Shengsheng shook her head: "No, Daddy won't go with someone else."

Mother Lu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued, "It's just that it will be hard for our Sheng Sheng to live alone and take care of herself from now on."
