Chapter 297 Let It Die Here Alone

"Never mind, Shengsheng."

Qu Xiaobo's voice sounded from the stairway.

Gu Baisheng looked up and saw Qu Xiaobo walking out of the stairway tiredly.

She seemed to get tired of fighting Zhang Huai, so she shook her head gently to Gu Baisheng and signaled her to follow suit.

Zhang Huai made a snobbish sound.

She signaled the moving company to drive forward.

Qu Xiaobo walked to Gu Baisheng and dragged her to another red brick road by holding her arm.

The car thus managed to get out of this neighborhood proudly.

Zhang Huai appeared to be so smug while sitting inside.

Gu Baisheng was pissed, "Those things belong to you and Zhang Kai! They're part of your memories! How could you just let her take them away so easily?"

Qu Xiaobo looked in the car's direction and smiled carelessly, "He's dead. What's the point of keeping those things?"

Qu Xiaobo's words made sense to Gu Baisheng.

That was true.

Things and memories of Zhang Kai meant nothing if he was dead.

Keeping them would only make Qu Xiaobo sad.

Gu Baisheng looked down.

Qu Xiaobo noticed that she started getting sad, so she smiled and joked, "I'm not sad anymore. Is it your turn now?"

Gu Baisheng looked up at Qu Xiaobo and smiled, "I'm not sad. Something's in my eye."

Qu Xiaobo wiped her eye with her hand smilingly.

They were like sisters, so it was hard for both of them to recover from Zhang Kai's death.

But the alive still needed to live on.

If Qu Xiaobo could remain strong, Gu Baisheng needed to stop reminding her of her trauma.

"Please start packing up."

Gu Baisheng suddenly recalled why she was here.

Hu Hui came over too and said gently, "Yes, pack up your things and go back with me, Bobo."

"Auntie?"

Qu Xiaobo didn't quite get what Hu Hui meant.

Hu Hui smiled, "I'm more experienced in taking care of pregnant young women. You need to be taken care of when you enter the later stage of your pregnancy. I'm quite lonely living by myself. Would you do me a favor and live with me?"

Qu Xiaobo bit her lip and looked up at her floor affectionately.

She and Zhang Kai had been living at this place for years. And she felt a bit emotional when she thought about renting it to other people.

"Bobo..."

Gu Baisheng knew that Qu Xiaobo was sad, so she held her hands kindly and gently.

Qu Xiaobo could feel the warmth and finally made up her mind, "Thank you so much, auntie!"

"Pleasure."

Hu Hui was happy.

She could finally find something to be busy with.

Living alone was very lonely.

"I'll be there later because I need to pack up."

Qu Xiaobo stood up to get ready.

Hu Hui added, "Could you please tell the clerks at the pet shop that we want them to take care of Baibai for a while?"

Gu Baisheng suddenly remembered that pregnant women were supposed to live in a pet-free household, "I'll go with Bobo."

The pet shop was the place where they met Su Yuanyi last time.

The shop was newly redecorated with "Love Pets", the new sign, hanging outside.

It could be seen from afar.

Hu Hui was waiting at Qu Xiaobo's place.

Qu Xiaobo was chatting with Gu Baisheng while they were walking forward, "Thank you so much for taking care of Baibai for so long."

"Auntie Hu likes kittens, but..."

Gu Baisheng didn't have the heart to say it.

Qu Xiaobo was confused, "But what?"

"But she's really bad at keeping pets."

Hu Hui hated it the most when people said so.

Gu Baisheng remembered that her mother enjoyed taking care of plants and pets in her spare time when Gu Baisheng was a child.

At first, everything seemed to be fine.

But all the cats died within three years at most. Some cats even died within one week.

She was very sad every time the pets died.

Hu Hui knew that kids loved pets.

So she would take Gu Baisheng to bury the dead pets.

In a few years' time, the dead pets turned into soil.

In order not to upset her daughter, Hu Hui gave up on keeping pets.

When she took Baibai home this time, Gu Baisheng was a bit worried that she might hear about its death again sometime soon.

Luckily, Baibai was very tough.

It was enjoying its life in Hu Hui's house.

And it spent most of its time sleeping.

Qu Xiaobo couldn't help laughing when Gu Baisheng talked about this, "Previously, Zhang Kai was like that too, but later..."

Later, he died.

Qu Xiaobo looked down because thinking about Zhang Kai made her feel sad again.

Gu Baisheng hurried to change the topic because she realized that Qu Xiaobo started thinking about Zhang Kai again, "Is that one of the clerks?"

Qu Xiaobo looked ahead.

The clerk happened to see them too, so she greeted them by waving at them, "Ms. Bai!"

Yin Xiaochun was watering a plant outside the pet shop.

She saw Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo walking this way from a distance, but she managed to recognize Gu Baisheng by double checking.

She only met Gu Baisheng once when she visited the shop at night.

Even Su Yuanyi didn't show up for a while.

She was a bit confused.

After Gu Baisheng got closer, Yin Xiaochun said smilingly, "Long time no see, Ms. Bai!"

Gu Baisheng noticed the wall had been repainted and nodded, "I was on a business trip, so I didn't have time to come over."

"Well, Mr. Su hasn't been here for a while, either. I'm not sure if he's also on a business trip."

Yin Xiaochun looked down and seemed to miss Su Yuanyi a lot.

Gu Baisheng knew that he was in Gangcheng, so she smiled, "He is."

Yin Xiaochun was a bit surprised, "How do you know that, Ms. Bai?"

"I was on a business trip there before the new year and bumped into him. He's now working at the Department of Forensic Medicine at Gangcheng Hospital."

Yin Xiaochun was a bit concerned, "How long would he stay there?"

"He said it might be three months or half a year?"

Yin Xiaochun nodded and felt relieved.

Luckily, it was not a long time. She could still wait for him if he wouldn't stay in Gangcheng forever.

Qu Xiaobo looked at Yin Xiaochun and found her look strange.

When she followed Yin Xiaochun into the shop, she elbowed her in the arm and asked, "Is Yin Xiaochun into Su Yuanyi?"

Gu Baisheng laughed at her, "How can you know that?"

"She looks strange while talking about Su Yuanyi. I think it's very likely."

"Fine. We can go back after buying some cat food for Baibai."

Gu Baisheng stopped her gossip.

It would be so awkward if she happened to hear their conversation.

Yin Xiaochun had been working at this pet shop for more than three years, so she could handle everything herself here even if the boss was away.

She put a bag of the best cat food and some canned food in a bag and then passed it over to Gu Baisheng gently, "These are my free gifts to Baibai and Candy."

Gu Baisheng understood it when she heard Baibai.

But she couldn't understand why she gave Candy's food to her.

"I think you need to give Candy's food to Su Yuanyi?"

Yin Xiaochun was surprised, "But Mr. Su said that he gave Candy to you."

"What?"

Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo looked at each other in surprise.

Neither of them kept Candy now.

On the other side, Candy was playing with the shelf in a big house.

The nanny looked at its fluffy fur and couldn't help caressing it.

She turned around and talked to Song Shuang, "It's such a lovely cat. It doesn't miss its owner after being sent here for so many days."

"It's natural if its owner is Su Yuanyi."

Song Shuang watched Candy walking to him with its tail up.

He frowned and took a step back.

But Candy enjoyed rubbing against people's pants with its tail up.

It rubbed its soft body against Song Shuang's pants and sat back on the floor happily. It then meowed to him gently.

The nanny's heart melted when she heard the sound.

She tried not to hug the cat and asked Song Shuang, "When will you show Candy to your wife, Mr. Song?"

She thought the cat was a surprise for his wife.

She didn't know that he didn't even plan to take it back home or show it to Gu Baisheng.

"Let it stay here."

"Stay here?"

She didn't get what he meant.

Song Shuang looked around at this well-furnished double-entry house, "I'm not mistreating the cat if I let it live in such a big house with your care."

She nodded, "Of course, you're not."

That was true.

The cat would live such a happy life by living in this spacious house with a nanny taking care of it. If the cat had been a human being, it would have been pretty happy.

What a lucky cat!

It was living lots of people's dream life.

"Let it stay here." Song Shuang looked down at the cat and said slowly, "And die alone."

The nanny was surprised.

What did he mean by dying alone?

Did he mean that the cat was locked here forever?

What did that mean?

The nanny was so confused.

But she noticed that he looked very cold to the cat, so she knew that he didn't like the cat.

He must've kept it for some hidden reasons.
