Chapter 814: Chapter 540: Because He Felt Sorry for Nanxi, He Acted Impulsively!_2

In that instant, Nanxi felt a heart-wrenching pain that surpassed nearly seven years of time, as if a demon suddenly sprouted in her chest, mercilessly devouring all her memories and hopes!

Dad, you still recognize me, but you never came to find me! Why? Why didn’t you come to find me? Why?

Nanxi turned and hugged Lu Yinchu, her sobs muffled against his chest, her hands tightly clutching the man’s clothes as if to release all the pain and tears of the past seven years!

Lu Yinchu put his arms around her tightly, then looked up, his eyes casting a gloomy sweep over the man in front of him, whose expression was vacant and miserable!

The man appeared to be around fifty, with graying temples and slightly dark skin, his face wore the vicissitudes of life, settling into a melancholic yet resigned composure.

His eyes trembled, brimming with scorching tears, his fingertips also trembled, his lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing!

“I think there’s no need for me to introduce myself, you should know who I am!”

Gu Xuehong’s eyes quivered, then he nodded, “You are Mr. Lu, and also, my daughter’s husband!”

…

Lu Yinchu had once met Gu Xuehong face to face!

It was when Lu Yinchu had just gone to Hong Kong, but since Nanxi had not finished school at the time, he did not meet her!

Gu Xuehong, having heard that a new neighbor had moved in next door, came over to visit as a courtesy!

At that time, Lu Yinchu was sitting on the sofa, and Aunt Zhang served them tea, exchanged a few polite words, and then left!

Lu Yinchu and Gu Xuehong made some small talk, when Gu Xuehong learned that Lu Yinchu came from H City, his expression stiffened, and Lu Yinchu asked, “Mr. Gu, do you know someone in H City?”

Gu Xuehong pursed his lips and said, “Sort of!”

Seeing that Gu Xuehong was reluctant to elaborate, Lu Yinchu did not press further, and his gaze eventually settled on the sunflower that Gu Xuehong had brought over!

Gu Xuehong explained, “Forgive me, it was my first visit and I wasn’t sure what to bring, so I picked this sunflower, planted by my daughter herself. It’s grown well, and it’s her favorite flower!”

Lu Yinchu was surprised, “Your daughter?”

Gu Xuehong smiled, “Yes, my daughter is fourteen this year, in ninth grade, very cute. When there’s a chance, I’ll bring her to visit Mr. Lu!”

Lu Yinchu reached for the sunflower, looking at its lovely petals, he felt inexplicably delighted, he asked Gu Xuehong, “Mr. Gu, what’s your daughter’s name?”

“Nanxi!” Gu Xuehong couldn’t hide the smile on his face, “My daughter is called Nanxi, Gu Nanxi!”

…

Later on, he met the girl named Gu Nanxi, her brightness radiating strikingly from the first glance!

However, Gu Xuehong was probably very busy at that time and had no time to bring Nanxi to visit him!

He was not in a hurry, in fact, he enjoyed silently observing Nanxi!

Really, he enjoyed it very much!

Latterly, Gu Xuehong came to visit again, but Lu Yinchu always found an excuse to refuse, Gu Xuehong had only seen him that one time, how much he remembered his face, Lu Yinchu didn’t know.

Yet he believed that he must have seen him after that, particularly after Nanxi went to H City!

Yes. Gu Xuehong had always been watching Lu Yinchu, or more precisely, watching Nanxi!

So, for nearly seven years, he actually hadn’t abandoned Nanxi, he just never appeared before her!

Was it because he dared not? Or because he could not?

Why?

He couldn’t figure it out!

Really couldn’t figure it out!

He had to admit that, before entering this ward and even before coming to Thailand, he harbored a bit of a vindictive mentality!

Perhaps, after eight years of vicissitudes and suffering, Nanxi still maintained her original simplicity and kindness, which had never changed and was quite rare!

But some things had changed, some things were no longer as they used to be!

The current Gu Xuehong, even in poverty, is still Nanxi’s father, with no change at all. So, why?

Why, would he rather let his daughter wander alone outside, heartbroken, than find her!

If only he had sought her, whether finding the Liang Family on the Mainland or finding him, he definitely wouldn’t have been separated from Nanxi for nearly seven years!

And yet, he found her but didn’t come forward to recognize her?

Somehow… it’s too ridiculous!

Lu Yinchu brought Nanxi, his well-protected and well-lived Nanxi, before him as if declaring ownership, telling him, “Your daughter, you don’t want her anymore, but I do! At least I do!”

…

…

But, at this very moment, watching the murky tears in the middle-aged man’s eyes, his trembling hands, his bewildered expression…

Lu Yinchu suddenly felt a bit regretful!

In fact, he was already feeling regretful!

He could have approached this matter in a more gentle way!

For instance, he could have informed Gu Xuehong in advance that he would be bringing Nanxi.

To give him a mental preparation, instead of the current unguarded, disarrayed state!

…

He thought, maybe Gu Xuehong had his reasons, a hardship he didn’t know of?

He had been too impulsive, impulsive because he felt sorry for Nanxi!

…

On a wooden chair in the hospital, Nanxi sat down with the help of Lu Yinchu, who whispered something in her ear before turning to face Gu Xuehong!

The gazes of the two men met in the air for two seconds, then Lu Yinchu stood up and left!

Gu Xuehong’s thin lips moved slightly, then he sat down next to Nanxi!

Nanxi bowed her head, her face tear-free, but her eyes slightly vacant and very red.

“Why…”

“…”

“Why? Dad!” Nanxi bit her lip, her hands tightly clutching her own clothes, as tears uncontrollably began to fall again, she said, “Why didn’t you come to find me? Didn’t you say, didn’t you say… no matter where I am, you would definitely find me? But why, why didn’t you come to find me?”
