Chapter 522 Believe in yourself
In the extremely luxurious presidential suite of the Tiandufu high-end hotel, the crystal chandelier emits a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire space with splendor.
The house was full of guests, and laughter echoed in every corner. Alice, a somewhat accomplished painter, was commenting on the priceless art paintings on the wall.
"Mom, this painting has delicate brushstrokes. Even the stamens of the orchid and its character are painted as if they have life. It seems that I still need to keep working hard."
Ailin Ruola held her daughter's shoulders and said supportively, "Baby, mom believes in you. You will definitely surpass yourself."
Rodriguez and his wife Olivia were attracted by the exquisite antiques arranged in a staggered manner. They examined them one by one with magnifying glasses and exclaimed in amazement from time to time.
"My dear, look at this kind of craftsmanship. Our craftsmen's skills are far from enough. We need to conduct field visits and learn this craft."
Olivia looked at her husband, who seemed to be very fond of her, and nodded in agreement with his idea.
Mu Xiaoji, accompanied Mr. Cedric, Andreas, and Mu Huiying, sitting on the comfortable sofa in the living room, leisurely discussing the wedding arrangements of Coleville and Youyou.
Cui Jiani sat next to Mu Huiying, leaning slightly towards her, and whispered in her ear, translating the content of everyone's conversation in a soft and gentle voice.
Mu Huiying smiled and nodded gently to show her understanding. Occasionally, she would say a simple word or two to blend into the lively atmosphere.
Andreas turned his gaze away from the people who were talking and looked at Irene Rola who was sitting next to him, his eyes full of tenderness.
He gently took Irene Ruola's hand and whispered softly, "Dear, go to the suitcase and take out the prosthesis for Mu and let him try it to see if it fits."
Irene Rola smiled and nodded, then stood up gracefully and walked towards the second bedroom with brisk steps.
At the same time, the graceful waitress walked with a perfect smile and graceful steps.
Holding the fragrant tea, he served it to each distinguished guest one by one with skillful and smooth movements, and then retreated quietly.
After a while, Irene Rola came out with a suitcase. She walked quickly towards Mu Xiaoji with enthusiasm, put the suitcase aside, and gently opened it.
In an instant, a prosthetic limb that looked real and lifelike came into view.
Andreas then walked to Mu Xiaoji, slowly squatted down, carefully picked up the prosthesis, and said seriously: "Mu, I will help you put it on. You need to get used to it for a few days.
I sincerely hope to see you, at the wedding of Coleville and Youyou, you can throw away your crutches, walk onto the stage by yourself and give them a wedding speech. "
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, excitement suddenly welled up in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "Can we really stop using crutches?"
Andreas' eyes were firm and his tone was full of encouragement: "Believe in yourself, Mu. Come, I'll help you up and try to take a few steps first."
As he spoke, he skillfully installed the prosthesis for Mu Xiaoji, his technique was so skillful that it seemed as if he had done it countless times.
Andreas was tall and strong, and at this moment he was like a brave and fearless warrior. He helped Mu Xiaoji up effortlessly.
When Mu Xiaoji first stood up, he was obviously not used to it yet. His body was shaky and he almost fell down several times.
Fortunately, Andreas was quick-witted and always held him firmly in his arms.
Mu Xiaoji's face flushed slightly, and he said apologetically: "Andreas, I'm sorry for the trouble."
"It's okay. This is just the beginning. You definitely won't be able to adapt for a while. Don't worry, take your time. Come on, baby!" Andreas comforted.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji's entire center of gravity was almost on Andreas. His right leg seemed to be out of control. He dared not lift it up, let alone control the prosthesis.
At this moment, everyone in the suite was attracted by this scene. They stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on Mu Xiaoji practicing walking with his prosthetic limbs.
Youyou and Alice were filled with excitement. They clenched their fists tightly and shouted loudly, "Come on, Brother Xiaoji!"
"Mr. Mu, well done, keep it up!" Alice encouraged.
Karina crossed her arms, her eyes full of encouragement, and commanded: "Mu, believe in yourself; brother, you can try to let him go."
Andreas and Mu Xiaoji looked at each other, their eyes conveying trust and encouragement. Andreas nodded slightly, then gently let go of his hand.
Mu Xiaoji was seen trying hard to keep himself steady, standing cautiously in the middle of the living room like a child learning to walk for the first time.
He stood there stupidly, his feet seemed to be nailed down. Although he stood firmly, he didn't dare to take the first step.
Seeing this, Karina waved her hands in the air and shouted, "Dear Mu, come to me, believe in yourself, come to me quickly."
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and took the first step. However, as soon as he exerted force with his right leg, he felt that he had no strength and fell forward uncontrollably.
At the critical moment, Andreas reached out to help, and Mu Xiaoji threw himself into Andreas' arms.
Andreas smiled gently and suggested, “How about this, you use a cane first.
Think back to when you were walking with a cane, and slowly let your right leg learn to use the force.
At this moment, the door of the living room creaked and slowly opened again. In an instant, Andreas's suggestion stopped abruptly.
As if drawn by an invisible force, everyone's eyes turned towards the door.
Guan Shan and Yan Kai looked solemn and had the aura of martial arts practitioners, like a sign that said no strangers should approach.
Carefully pushing Jiang Chengyu, who was sleeping soundly in the wheelchair, he followed Jiang Shuo and slowly walked in.
Jiang Chengyu sat quietly in a wheelchair, his beautiful face was like a carefully carved work of art.
The handsome features are smooth and distinct, with a high nose bridge and thick eyelashes under his closed eyes.
Even in deep sleep, he still exudes charming charm, and looks handsome, as if he has just fallen into a sweet dream.
However, the gears of fate turned relentlessly, and he could never wake up from this slumber.
Cedric, who was like a kind father, had a face full of smiles and nervousness, and was concentrating on watching Mu Xiaoji's clumsy appearance as he learned to walk.
With the help of Andreas, Mu Xiaoji took unsteady steps, and every step seemed like he was exploring this new world.
Cedric held out his hands from time to time in a protective gesture, whispering encouragement.
"Yes, lift your legs, step out, step out..."
But when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jiang Chengyu coming in from the door, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, as if blown away by a gust of cold wind.
When he was trying to get up in a panic, he knocked over the teacup in front of him without even realizing it, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Excitedly shouting: "Kate..." That voice was filled with years of friendship and the disbelief of the moment.
And Andreas has always carefully hidden the love hidden deep in his heart in the deepest corner.
But the moment he saw Jiang Chengyu, the waves in his heart surged like a raging sea, unable to be suppressed any longer.
His eyes were instantly attracted by Jiang Chengyu, and he walked forward uncontrollably, kneeling on one knee with a "thump", his movements eagerly and gently.
Mu Xiaoji sat on the ground unsteadily, watching Andreas pinch Jiang Chengyu's neck with his left hand and slowly raise his right hand as if he was touching a lost treasure.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and affection. She gently stroked the corner of his mouth, and murmured with a choked voice: "Dear, you...what's going on?"
As he said this, with a look of heartache on his face, he pressed his forehead against Jiang Chengyu's, as if this could transfer his strength to him and wake him up.
"My dear baby, are you...really...never going to wake up?" His eyes met Jiang Chengyu's heart-moving face again.
Her eyes were red and her voice was shaking unconsciously: "How...how could this happen? Kate, wake up!"
Jiang Shuo stood aside, watching the scene in front of him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his inner turmoil, and said in fluent English:
"Uncle, my little daddy has been asleep for a long time. I'm sorry that I can't do as you wish!"
When Andreas heard Jiang Shuo's words, he looked at him with surprise, as if he had just noticed Jiang Shuo's existence.
Then, he turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoji, his eyes full of doubt, and asked: "Is the little guy Kate's child?"
Mu Xiaoji shook his head slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, and introduced: "He is my son, Kate brought him up, his name is Jiang Shuo."
Karina was standing in one place, just now encouraging Mu Xiaoji's spirit. When her eyes fell on Jiang Chengyu who was sleeping soundly in a wheelchair, her whole body trembled violently as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.
She subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened with disbelief and grief.
Without warning, tears welled up in her eyes, pouring down like a flood that had burst a dam. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and a suppressed sob came from her throat.
At first, she seemed to be nailed to the spot, her feet unable to move at all. After a long time, she finally took a step that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and slowly walked towards Jiang Chengyu.
Every step she took was filled with endless sorrow and attachment. Her eyes were always fixed on Jiang Chengyu's face, never moving away for a moment.
Finally, she walked to Jiang Chengyu's side and hugged Jiang Chengyu's neck tightly from behind, as if she wanted to wake him up with her deep affection.
She cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, and her tears kept dripping on Jiang Chengyu's shoulders, "How could this happen? Kate... Kate, I want you to open your eyes and look at me, I am Karina.
There was something wrong with your health. I called you several times, why didn't you tell me?"
Her voice was tearful, full of pain and questioning, echoing in the silent living room, tugging at everyone's heart.
At the same time, Mu Xiaoji stood aside, his expression sad and solemn. He slowly put his hand into the inner pocket of his suit, his movements slow and heavy, as if the pocket contained the weight of the whole world.
When he took out the suicide note, his hands trembled slightly. He opened his lips slightly and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Karina, this is a letter Kate wrote to you."
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he sensibly approached his father Mu Xiaoji, took the suicide note from him, and then walked towards Karina carefully.
Karina was still immersed in grief. She slowly loosened her arms around Jiang Chengyu's neck, her movements mechanical and slow.
She stared blankly at the letter in Jiang Shuo's hands, her eyes empty and confused, as if she had not yet recovered from the great grief.
After a long time, she slowly raised her hand and wiped the tears that kept flowing down her face, but it seemed like the tears would never stop flowing.
With trembling hands, she took the suicide note and gently stroked the envelope with her fingers, as if she was touching Jiang Chengyu's warmth.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner grief, and then gently opened the page, and saw the clear and glaring words "suicide note", which pierced directly into her heart;
Her heart began to twitch violently again, and a new round of tears blurred her eyes.
