Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ning Qing received a call from Lu Shaoming at night, and he said that he would be returning tomorrow.
The next day, Ning Qing woke up very early, and even Little Young Master Lu, who was sleeping beside her, opened his eyes and was looking around curiously.
Ning Qing picked Little Young Master Lu up. Little Young Master Lu was getting heavier and heavier, and Ning Qing kissed his small, fragrant face. She had a gentle smile on her face as she said, “Little Young Master Lu, could it be that you know that Daddy is coming back today, so you are as excited as Mummy, and you are unable to sleep… Mummy hasn’t seen Daddy for half a month already! I miss him very very much… Little Young Master Lu, do you miss Daddy?”
Little Young Master Lu’s small hand was tugging on Mummy’s s.h.i.+rt, and he was blabbering about.
Ning Qing kissed her son twice and carried him in her arms as she opened the door.
Both Song Yajing and Yue Wanqing were sitting in the living room. Little Young Master Lu was still too young, and both grandmothers were scared that Ning Qing was unable to take care of him, so they both stayed over here.
“Mum, Shaoming is coming home today.”
Song Yajing covered her mouth and smiled as she said, “We got it, we got it. Qingqing, you have repeated this several times already.”
The entire family was laughing.
Yue Wanqing carried Little Young Master Lu in her arms and fed him a little warm water before she said, “Qingqing, what time is Shaoming’s flight? We will go to welcome him when the time comes.”
“Sure.” Ning Qing was smiling brightly with her eyebrows curved up as she said, “Two in the afternoon.”
…
At 2 pm, the entire family pushed the stroller and waited in the main hall of the airport. But 2 pm pa.s.sed by, and there was no sign of Lu Shaoming.
“Qingqing, how is Shaoming still not here? Did the flight get delayed?” Yue Wanqing asked.
Ning Qing had a bad premonition in her heart. Her right eyelid had been twitching for the entire day, and she comforted her mother by saying, “It seems like the flight is probably delayed. Mum, let us wait a little while longer.”
They waited until three, then they waited until four, but Lu Shaoming still did not appear.
Ning Qing’s heart was beating furiously, and she took her phone out to make a call, but all she got in return was the cold tone of the female voice — The number you have dialled is not available.
Ning Qing suddenly recalled something; phones are not allowed to be used on board.
She comforted herself with this fact, and suddenly, a pa.s.serby crashed into her shoulder, and the phone in her hand fell onto the floor and broke into pieces instantly.
“Sorry, Miss. Are you okay?” The pa.s.ser by stooped down and helped her pick her phone up.
At this moment, “Wa! Wa…” The sound of crying came from the stroller. Little Young Master Lu started to cry.
Song Yajing held Little Young Master Lu in her arms to coax him, “Little Young Master Lu, what is wrong? Why did you burst out crying so suddenly? Come, let Mummy hug you.”
Ning Qing took Little Young Master Lu in her arms, and Little Young Master Lu had big fat tears rolling down his cheeks. He was screaming at the top of his lungs.
“Little Young Master Lu, be good. Don’t cry. Daddy will come back very soon….” Ning Qing gently comforted him.
At this moment, “Ning Qing.” There was a wave of noise from behind her. Ning Qing turned around to have a look, and Lu Dinghua held a phone in his hands as he walked over. The butler and secretary followed close behind.
“Dinghua, why did you come here?” Song Yajing walked forward and said, “What is wrong with Shaoming? He said that he would be back at two in the afternoon, but he is still not here.”
Lu Dinghua had a solemn expression on his face as he looked towards Song Yajing, then he channelled his gaze to look at Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, I have just been informed…”
Ning Qing’s mind was in a complete mess, and her bad premonition that she’d felt for these two weeks was written on her face right now. Her face was deathly pale as she took a step backwards.
She did not want to continue listening…
“Ning Qing, I just got news that the private jet that Shaoming was on was involved in an accident when the plane pa.s.sed by Lake Baikal. The plane has crashed.”
Ning Qing’s irises contracted dramatically, and her ears were ringing out loudly. She was unable to clearly hear what was Lu Dinghua saying.
“What?” Song Yajing shook her head in disbelief and said, “Dinghua, you are not joking with us? Where did the plane crash? Did they find Shao Ming?”
With grief in his voice, Lu Dinghua replied, “I have already ordered some people to go over. The plane crashed in the lake; it would be difficult for them to lift the plane out of the lake…”
“Ay, Ning Qing’s mother!” Song Yajing shouted out suddenly. It turns out that when Yue Wanqing heard this piece of news, her two eyes shut, and she fainted immediately.
Song Yajing ran over to help her up.
Ning Qing forgot how to react, and she did not know what she was thinking about. Little Young Master Lu in her embrace was moving around non stop, and Ning Qing lowered her gaze to have a look. Little Young Master Lu was crying so much that he was out of breath.
She felt a hot liquid roll down her face, and it immediately turned cold. She was crying, and the tears filled her entire face.
…
Yue Wanqing was sent to the hospital, and the doctor conducted a series of tests on her. He shook his head and sighed before saying, “Mrs. Lu, your mother’s condition is not too bright right now. Two years ago, she had a kidney transplant. This kind of surgery can prolong the patient’s life by a few years, but your mother’s heart was under stress, and coupled together with the bad reaction of the kidney, her condition is not too good.”
Ning Qing’s small face was pale, and she looked at her mother who was lying on the hospital bed. She asked, “Then what should we do about my mother now?”
