Gu Qingyao asked, “Do you want to know who they are?”
Zhong Bingyuan frowned. Her head still ached a little from thinking about these things, but not as severely as before.
“Older Sister Gu, they’re… my relatives, right?”
Gu Qingyao nodded.
Zhong Bingyuan did not speak.
In her heart, she both longed for her family and was also afraid of them.
After so many years in the countryside, she had clearly seen that girls had very low status. Everyone preferred sons to daughters. Some people had told her that her parents had sold her to human traffickers.
But her older siblings told her that she must have lived pretty well because she had been wearing very nice clothes. She was the child of a rich family.
She vaguely guessed who those two people were. She had been curious, but for some reason, when she heard those last words, she suddenly… did not feel curious anymore.
Zhong Bingyuan raised her head and said, “Older Sister Gu, I don’t want to think too much now. I just want to take my medicine and recuperate peacefully. I will have recovered in a month. Then you can treat me, and I’ll be able to remember my past?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “That’s right. To me, your injury is easy to treat. But you have too many severe injuries, and you need a period of recovery before you reach the optimal period for treatment. That’s why I want to wait a month before treating you.”
Zhong Bingyuan nodded. “All right, I understand. You don’t need to tell me who those people were. I’ll be good and stay here to recuperate. In a month, you will make me better, and I’ll naturally be able to remember everything.”
Gu Qingyao was somewhat surprised by this answer!
If a child went missing and lost her memory, her most pressing questions would surely be about her parents and family, right?
Now, they were right here, and Gu Qingyao was surprised that Zhong Bingyuan did not pursue who they were.
“Yuan Yuan, are you sure?”
Zhong Bingyuan nodded with determination. “Yes. Since it’s best for me not to think of anything now, I’ll just wait out the month obediently. Anyway, I will know everything in a month.”
Gu Qingyao was amazed by this child’s calmness and logical mind.
Gu Qingyao smiled and patted Zhong Bingyuan’s head. “All right, we’ll do it your way. Rest and take your medicine regularly. In a couple of days, I will come and change your dressing.”
“Mhm!”
Gu Qingyao chatted with them for a while, then left with Gu Jinhang.
Meanwhile, Zhou Furong and Sun Huihui were completely stunned when Gu Qingyao carried Zhong Bingyuan away!
That was Zhong Bingyuan?
It was definitely Zhong Bingyuan. Although they had not seen her for four years, that brat had made a deep impression on them. They were definitely right.
Zhou Furong and Sun Huihui returned forlornly to the Mo house.
When they reached the Mo house, they hid in their room.
“Mother, was… was that Zhong Bingyuan? Why… why is she here?”
Zhou Furong was panicking a little. “How would I know? Damn it, wasn’t the little bitch sold? Why did she appear in the capital?”
“Then… is it possible that the human traffickers sold her to someone in the capital?”
“Impossible!”
Zhou Furong said with certainty. “When human traffickers kidnap children, they only sell the children deep in the mountainous regions. How could they sell her in the capital?”
“Then… then why did she appear here? And she’s with Gu Qingyao too!”
Zhou Furong was completely perplexed. She did not know what to do.
