Chapter 373 Madam’s Kindness
At this time, Nan Yu, who was far away in the Huo family's bridal chamber, was busy giving Ren Xingzhou a follow-up consultation.
Ren Xingzhou is young, has good physical fitness and strong recovery ability. All his previous injuries have now mostly healed.
Nan Yu took his pulse and withdrew her hand. "Brother Ren, you are feeling much better now. Are you planning to go back to Nan's?"
Ren Xingzhou glanced at the two little lions sleeping soundly in the crib, and a familiar, unruly smile appeared on his face.
"I don't want to go back yet."
Then he raised his head and looked at Nan Yu seriously, "Xiao Yu, I may have to bother you with these for a while."
There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Nan Yu pursed her lips and asked doubtfully, "Is someone embarrassing you?"
Ren Xingzhou touched the two little lions, with a look of pain in his eyes.
"No one from the Nan family made things difficult for me. I was the one who let Madam down."
His voice became hoarse, "When the madam and the master got married, those lions represented their love. Let me take good care of those lions."
"Madam gave me such an important mission, but now only Xiaoba and these two little lions are left, and the whole mountain is destroyed. I don't know how to face Madam."
Nan Yu looked at the two cute little lions, and then glanced at Ren Xingzhou who was struggling in pain.
"Brother Ren, this is Nan Luzhi and the others' fault. It's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself. I believe my mother won't blame you either."
Ren Xingzhou lowered his empty eyes, his pain evident in words. He smiled bitterly and said, "My wife has just recovered from a serious illness, and I don't want her to feel bad. I want to go and apologize in person after some time."
As if he had made some kind of decision, there was a strange light in his eyes.
Nan Yu saw this and said directly: "Brother Ren, you can stay here. As for the matter of the lion and the burning mountain, I will help you to speak about it. I also have some responsibility in this matter. You don't have to be so miserable."
Ren Xingzhou suddenly looked up at Nan Yu, his eyes flickering with disbelief, and then he looked at the face that looked 80% like his wife when she was young.
He murmured, "Xiaoyu, you really look like my wife when she was young."
Nan Yu's ears twitched slightly when she heard this. She slowly raised her head and asked curiously, "Brother Ren, how did you and my mother know each other?"
Ren Xingzhou looked at her and gradually fell into memories.
"Thirty-eight years ago, Madam was a top ballet dancer at the peak of her career, and the principal dancer of the world's most famous ballet company."
"At that time, my family members died one after another. I couldn't bear the blow and wanted to commit suicide. Then I met my wife who had just finished a performance."
The gentle and beautiful Duan Zhu seemed to appear before his eyes. Like a ray of light, she appeared in front of him and extended a hand of hope to him.
"I still remember the first words the lady said to me. She said my life had just begun and should not end here. Then she gave me a large sum of money and asked me to buy a cemetery to bury my family."
When Nan Yu heard this, all these scenes appeared in front of her eyes.
It was as if I saw the thin and small boy Ren Xingzhou, with no relatives around, and holding a funeral for his family in a very pitiful way.
Ren Xingzhou continued, "After the funeral, I decided to try my best to live on and repay my wife's kindness."
"So I signed up for the army without hesitation and went to the battlefield."
"Until I was seriously injured and almost lost my life. After I recovered, I chose to retire and wanted to repay my wife's kindness."
Nan Yu heard this and continued, "So you went to the zoo to take care of the lions?"
