The women present could not help but shed tears, and the men's eyes also reddened.
Qin Zhi hesitated. She gently raised her hand and placed it on Han Li's head. Slowly, she stroked it over and over again. "Don't cry, don't cry. Zhizhi doesn't blame you."
Han Li's crying stopped abruptly. She held Qin Zhi's thin shoulder and looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Zhizhi, you don't blame Mommy?"
Qin Zhi gently nodded. She raised her hand to wipe the tears on Han Li's face, and the tears fell onto her palm. She looked up at Han Li and said seriously, "You're so sad. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
Han Li nodded her head fiercely, tears flowing down his face. "Mommy didn't do it on purpose. How could Mommy not want you? How could I not want Zhizhi? You're Mommy's baby! You're Mommy's most precious. Without you, Nommy's heart will always be in pain, always in pain!"
Han Li thumped her chest and his face turned paler. Gu An was worried and wanted to help her up, but Han Li slapped his hand away.
She only had her daughter in her eyes and heart now!
Qin Zhi sighed softly and grabbed Han Li's hand. She was about to hit herself again. Qin Zhi called out softly, "Mommy."
Everyone's breathing stopped.
Han Li pulled Qin Zhi into her arms. This time, she did not cry. She only hugged her tightly, afraid that all of this was just a dream. She was afraid that it would disappear in the blink of an eye like the countless dreams she had had over the years.
Gu Nian, who was standing next to her, wiped her tears away and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't cry. Look, Zhizhi has acknowledged you. You should be happy!"
The sister-in-law, Lin Wan, laughed and tears fell. "Sister-in-law, get up quickly. The ground is cold. Take care of your health. It'll be fine once Zhizhi is back."
As she spoke, she could not help but start sobbing again.
Gu Nian and Lin Wan hugged each other and started crying. The Gu family had been waiting for this day for far too long.
They were crying tears of joy.
Gu An helped his wife up and also picked up Qin Zhi.
This child's bones were extremely light. He could not help but feel pain in his heart. His baby had actually been reduced to such a state!
From now on, he would never let his baby suffer the slightest grievance!
Han Li grabbed Qin Zhi's small hand and did not want to let go for a moment. She was too afraid of losing her. She was afraid that all of this was not real. Only this small hand that was as thin as a small claw in her palm could give her a little dose of reality.
Qin Zhi looked at Gu An, who was holding her in his arms. He was very good-looking, but he had two tufts of white hair on his temples. Qin Zhi felt inexplicably distressed. She touched the white hair with her free hand and called out softly, "You're my father."
"Yes, I'm Daddy!" Gu An burst into tears. He buried his face in his daughter's arms and held her tightly.
This belated 'Dady' made this man, who was revered by both the political and business circles, cry.
The Gu family took turns introducing themselves in front of Qin Zhi.
Uncle Gu Nian, Aunt Lin Wan, Aunt Gu Hao, Uncle He Zhao, Uncle Han Cheng, and Aunt Tang Xing all rushed to introduce themselves to Qin Zhi. This group of business elites, who were high and mighty in the eyes of others, were all as happy as children at this moment.
Qin Zhi was a little overwhelmed. She could not remember these people's faces for a moment, but she greeted them very politely and greeted them one by one. Her soft and clear voice made every adult's heart warm.
While everyone was overjoyed, they could not help but feel fortunate. They had never expected that Zhizhi, who had led a wandering life in such an environment, would turn out to be such a polite and well-behaved child. This must be the blessing of the Gu family's ancestors!
Qin Zhi glanced at the wall that she had just leaned against from time to time. Gu An thought that her daughter was nervous and hugged her even tighter. "Baby, let's go home. Let's go home to see Grandpa and Grandma. They all miss you. Oh, and also your brothers. They're all waiting for you to come home! You are the little princess of the Gu family! I promise you that I will never let you suffer again!"
"Princess?" Qin Zhi tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Daddy, do you have money?" Qin Zhi asked softly.
"Yes!" Han Li, who was standing beside him, answered firmly.
"Baby, Mommy's money will be yours in the future!" What was money? From now on, no matter what her precious daughter wanted, she would give it to her!
Qin Zhi was a little shocked. She looked down at the buttons on her father's shirt and said softly, "Building 6's Uncle Guan broke his leg. He lent me some rice yesterday, and I haven't returned it yet..."
The Gu family was stunned.
Gu An's tears almost fell. The only daughter of the Gu family actually needed to borrow rice!
He immediately said loudly, "Daddy will pay it back for you. Not only will I pay for the rice, but I will also treat Uncle Guan's leg. What do you think? "
Qin Zhi's eyes lit up.
Gu An was sad, but he could not help but feel gratified. His daughter was so loyal!
He turned around and looked at the people outside, then said loudly to the bodyguards, "Go! They went from house to house to thank the neighbors! Thank you for taking care of my Gu family's daughter. The Gu family is extremely grateful!"
The bodyguards obeyed the order and left.
The crowd could not help but cheer.
"Zhizhi, thank you!"
"Little Lucky Star, you have to live a good life when you go back with mom and dad!"
"Little baby Zhizhi! You must be happy!"
"Zhizhi, we will always wish you well!"
…
Qin Zhi, who was in Gu An's arms, revealed a smile that went from a shallow smile to a deep one. When the smile appeared, everyone in the Gu family could not help but be stunned. This child's smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring, even more dazzling than her mother's when she was young. She was indeed the Gu family's destined treasure to bring prosperity to the family!
"Meow, meow, meow!" A soft meow came from under his feet.
Gu An lowered his head and saw a black cat with shiny fur rubbing against his feet.
Qin Zhi, who was in his arms, immediately struggled and wanted to get down.
Gu An put Qin Zhi down and the cat immediately jumped into her arms.
Qin Zhi stretched out her hand and stroked the cat's back.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaofu!" she comforted it softly.
She looked up at her parents and asked carefully, "Can I bring Xiaofu along?"
Han Li nodded without hesitation. "Of course you can. Zhizhi, see if there's anything else you want to bring."
Even if her daughter wanted to bring a rat home, she would not refuse, let alone a cat!
Qin Zhi looked around the small room and shook her head gently.
Han Li's heart ached. He bent down to pick up his daughter and the cat. Gu An was worried about her body, so he picked them up first. "You don't have to bring anything. Your mother has been preparing for this day since you were a child. She has everything you need!"
