Chapter 58 The Eve of Parting
Du Fei's work is on track and the company's business is in full swing. Gu Changan can finally concentrate on preparing for his overseas trip.
One day, Dad and Mom Gu will board a train to travel abroad, to start a beautiful new chapter in their travels.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto the floor of the Gu family villa.
Today is a special day for Gu Fanxing, because Gu Changan, chairman of Gu Group, and his wife are about to embark on a long-awaited overseas trip tomorrow.
Gu Fanxing got up early in the morning. She had to make final preparations for her parents before they went abroad - packing their luggage. This was her unshirkable responsibility as a daughter.
She came to her parents' room and was about to start packing when her confidant Xiao Fangfei suddenly appeared in front of her. The two smiled at each other tacitly and began to help Gu's father and mother pack their luggage.
Gu Fanxing was the first to open the wardrobe, and the neatly arranged rows of clothes came into view.
She gently stroked the finely textured clothes, as if she was having a conversation with them.
"Fei Fei, what do you think of this one? Isn't it suitable for dad to wear at the beach?" Gu Fanxing picked up a light blue casual shirt and shook it at Xiao Fangfei.
Xiao Fangfei smiled and nodded: "It fits very well. Uncle will look very handsome in it." As he spoke, Gu Fanxing carefully folded the shirt and put it into the suitcase.
Mr. Gu didn't have many clothes, so the two of them put them away quickly.
Then, Gu Fanxing began to choose clothes for her mother. She was dazzled by the brightly colored and elegant dresses. She carefully selected them, muttering to herself, "My mother will definitely like this one, and that one is also good..." Xiao Fangfei helped to sort out some small items, putting the skin care products and jewelry that Gu's mother often used into her cosmetic bag one by one.
Gu Fanxing found one of her mother’s favorite scarves in the corner of the closet. It was a gift her father had given her.
She picked up the scarf and stroked it gently, as if she could feel the deep affection between her parents.
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to her childhood, when her parents always took her out to play, and her mother would tie this scarf, which fluttered in the wind, looking particularly beautiful.
As she thought about it, her eyes became moist.
Xiao Fangfei noticed Gu Fanxing's abnormality, walked over and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't be sad, uncle and aunt will be back soon." Gu Fanxing nodded, took a deep breath, but felt emotional in her heart. If possible, she hoped that Gu's father and mother would not come back in a short time, and it would be best if they came back after Jiang Chengjun, Fang Wenwen and his uncle were brought to justice.
They folded the selected clothes one by one, and then put them into the suitcase according to their categories. Every time Gu Fanxing put a piece of clothing in, it seemed as if she was sending a blessing to her parents' journey.
Xiao Fangfei carefully checked to see if there was anything missing, and reminded Gu Fanxing from time to time: "Xingxing, don't forget to put your aunt's sunglasses in, and your uncle's hat."
With their tacit cooperation, the luggage was packed quickly. Looking at the full and neatly organized suitcases, Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei smiled at each other.
Gu Fanxing was looking forward to her parents' journey, but also reluctant to leave. But she thought that this separation was for their safety, so she felt less complicated and deep.
The two of them were busy for a while and finally packed their luggage.
At this time, Gu Ma also prepared a sumptuous dinner. The table was decorated very warmly, and the exquisite tableware shone softly under the light.
Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei sat at the dining table, quietly waiting for Dad Gu to come downstairs.
After a while, Gu Changan came over with a smile. Looking at the table full of dishes, Gu Changan said with emotion: "It's still comfortable at home." His face was filled with a happy smile.
Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. Gu Fanxing picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The familiar taste instantly spread on his tongue. It was his mother's specialty, carrying countless beautiful memories.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her thoughts drifted back to her childhood, the happy times she spent with her parents, and those warm scenes flashed before her eyes like a movie.
She whispered, "Mom and Dad, you'll be gone for a long time, and I'm really going to miss you." Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and there was an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
Xiao Fangfei also echoed: "Yes, uncle and aunt, we will feel very uncomfortable without you." Her eyes revealed reluctance.
She and Gu Fanxing are as close as sisters, and she and the Gu family are like one family. In fact, she is as reluctant to part with Gu's father and mother as Gu Fanxing.
The happy days she had spent with Gu Fanxing's family also emerged in her mind: playing in the garden together, celebrating festivals together, practicing calligraphy with Gu's father, watching TV series with Gu's mother... Every moment was so precious and unforgettable.
Gu Changan laughed: "Silly children, it's not like we won't come back." But there was also a hint of attachment in his eyes. He knew they were reluctant to leave, and so was he.
Gu Fanxing's mother looked at them both gently and said, "You guys, take good care of yourselves and don't let us worry." Her eyes were full of love, as if she wanted to convey all her care to them.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I'm here to accompany Xing'er and make sure she's well fed and happy. You just enjoy your happy trip and don't have to worry about us." Xiao Fangfei made a promise to Gu's father and mother, acting as if nothing would happen with her around.
Gu Fanxing nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, she tried hard to hold them back. She looked at her parents' faces, the familiar outlines, the warm smiles, she wanted to remember every detail.
Xiao Fangfei seemed to have a spiritual connection with Gu Fanxing, and she suddenly felt melancholy. She recalled every moment she had spent with Gu Fanxing in this home, and all those laughter and tears made it difficult for her to let go.
The air was filled with the aroma of food, the smell of home, the smell of mother's careful cooking. Gu Fanxing listened to her parents' familiar voices and looked at their warm smiles, her heart full of attachment and reluctance. She seemed to be able to hear the sound of time passing, and every second brought the separation closer.
Everyone ate very slowly during this farewell meal, and every bite seemed to contain endless emotions. After dinner, Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei helped their parents check their luggage to make sure nothing was left out.
Gu Fanxing hugged her mother tightly and said softly, "Mom, I will really miss you so much." Her voice was a little choked and she couldn't help but let her tears fall.
"My dear daughter, mom will miss you too." Mother Gu patted her back gently, her eyes full of reluctance and love.
Xiao Fangfei stood aside, her nose also sore. She knew that this separation would make them all very sad, but she also believed that when Gu Changan and his wife came back, everything would still be fine.
The Gu family villa was exceptionally quiet at night, with the moonlight shining in the yard, as if covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
Gu Fanxing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his mind filled with memories of his time with his parents.
Although she knew that this separation would make her unable to see her parents for a long time and she would suffer from homesickness, compared with her parents' personal safety, what did this matter? Nothing was more important than her parents' healthy and safe life.
In her previous life, she failed to judge people well and caused her parents to meet with an unexpected accident; in this life, she wanted to change her fate and never let the tragedy happen again.
