Just when Yu Minmin was about to say something, she suddenly heard a bang outside .
Yu Minmin immediately frowned .
In an instant, she felt something fall to the ground, and the sound of an explosion reached her . The house rumbled and started swaying immediately . In a split second, dust mixed with heat waves traveled towards her .
A bomb…
Yu Minmin hastily shouted, "Run!"
Yu Minmin's father was still saying, "What's going on…"
Yu Minmin turned around and pulled him with her as she ran out .
However, Yu Minmin's father suddenly remembered something .
"No way . There's still money inside…"
"Dad!"
Yu Minmin shouted but could not stop him .
Because her belly was too big, she could only move forward one step at a time .
On her side were her guards, who had caught up with her a long time ago . They immediately escorted her out of the room .
She shouted to the guards, "Go back and search for my parents . "
"Yes, Ma'am . Quickly go to a safe place . Leave the rest to us . "
Yu Minmin turned back to look . Then, she glanced at her belly and had no choice but to leave .
No sooner than when they stepped out of the room…
They heard a rumbling sound…
Behind them, the house collapsed .
Yu Minmin immediately sprawled onto the ground .
The sounds of gunshots, artillery, and police sirens continued ringing amidst the dust .
Yu Minmin looked up in a daze .
But by then, the house was already in ruins behind them .
In the hospital .
Yu Minmin woke up in a stupor .
Gu Jingming was already in front of her .
She sat up instantly .
"What happened? My parents…"
Gu Jingming looked at her and pressed her hands down .
His eyes gazed at her, but he could not speak .
Yu Minmin's heart immediately sank right to the bottom .
"My parents… they're dead, right?"
She choked with emotion as she said this .
She knew it . She knew it the moment she saw the house collapse…
Gu Jingming lowered his head . He gestured for everyone in the room to go out .
Only then did he clasp her hands and said, "When the rescuers came and cleared the debris, your father was already devoid of any signs of life . It looked like your mother pulled him from behind when he went to look for the safe at home . Both got buried under the debris at the same time . "
Mother…
Yu Minmin immediately bit her lip and let out a whimper .
Gu Jingming swiftly enveloped her into his arms . He knew that no words of comfort would be of use now . He could only say repeatedly, "I'm here . I'm here . You still have our child, our baby . Our entire family is around . "
Yu Minmin once thought that their family never lived a peaceful day because of her father, and in recent days, she felt that it was getting better .
She also once thought that if her mother died one day, it would definitely be because of her father . But she did not expect…
She did not expect that such a day would actually come .
Just then…
"Elder Sister . Let me visit my elder sister . I won't do anything . I just want to see her . "
Yu Chengcheng's voice traveled in from outside .
Yu Minmin quickly let go of Gu Jingming .
"Let him in . I'm fine . "
Gu Jingming glanced at her deeply and then nodded .
"Let him in . "
Yu Chengcheng pushed the door open and looked at Yu Chengcheng .
When he saw that she was already drenched in tears, he immediately felt like crying too .
But the good thing was that he had already become an adult and was sensible .
He walked towards her . "Elder Sister, it's fine . I'm still here . I'm fine… Even if our parents aren't around anymore, you still have me . "
The people who had passed away were important . But no matter how important they were, they still fell short of the people who were alive, right?
Yu Minmin nodded . The two siblings sat together, and Gu Jingming said, "Luckily, Chengcheng wasn't there at the time . "
Yu Chengcheng sighed . "But I wish I were there . If so, I may have been of help . "
Gu Jingming said, "So many personal guards were there, but there still wasn't enough time . The house collapsed too quickly . "
Yu Chengcheng said viciously, "Who exactly was it?!"
Gu Jingming said, "I'll investigate thoroughly . This person targeted Minmin . "
Yu Chengcheng said, "But there are reporters everywhere outside now . It's very chaotic . Brother-in-law, go ahead if you're busy . I'll keep my sister company . "
Gu Jingming was indeed very busy . But how could he not worry about Yu Minmin right now?
He shook his head and continued to hold Yu Minmin's hands .
"Linda will deal with the matter first . I'll stay here and accompany Minmin . I can go out when I'm needed later . "
Only then did Yu Chengcheng properly look at Gu Jingming . The fact that he could still stay by his wife's side showed that he genuinely cared .
His sister found a good brother-in-law .
Indeed, the situation outside was a complete mess .
Yu Minmin switched on the television in the afternoon and saw that they were reporting about her .
'The First Lady's parental home had suddenly encountered an explosion . The bomb had killed both her parents . '
Within a short time, many people discussed as they panicked .
Even the First Lady's house had encountered an explosion .
In that case, wasn't something huge going to happen?
It seemed that C Nation was very unsafe at the moment .
Since there were words of sympathy, pain, and anger, of course, there were words to the contrary as well .
Someone dug out past affairs relating to Yu Minmin's family .
It was all about how Yu Minmin's father gambled in casinos, of how he owed debts, of how he was a regular in casinos, and of how he was hunted down in the past .
Some people said that they did not expect the First Lady's family to be like this . It seemed that they deserved to die .
Others said that perhaps it had nothing to do with the President . Perhaps they died tragically because their family showed off too much . Why did Mr . President marry such a woman back then?
Maybe this woman had implicated him?
For a moment, doubts about the First Lady immediately rose to a peak .
After going back, Gu Jingming first asked Linda, "What happened?"
"We need you to go there . Parliament is in a huge frenzy now . They're very alarmed and may need you there to take charge . "
Gu Jingming nodded silently .
Just then…
"I'll go too . " Yu Minmin's eyes were still red when she walked out from behind .
Gu Jingming immediately said, "Go and rest . "
"No . The matter arose because of me . I should step forward . "
"Of course, it wasn't because of you . I was the reason your family got looped into this . "
"No . We're husband and wife, so your affairs are my affairs . We're a family . Now that the incident occurred in my family and concerned the entire C Nation, I won't hide behind you . "
Since she enjoyed the honor of being the First Lady, she could not refuse to do what the First Lady ought to do .
Perhaps she had not felt this way in the past . But over the past few years, she now understood that every move taken by the Presidential Office affected tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of citizens .
"Don't worry . I know my body . But perhaps everyone will only be kinder towards us if I appear like this . "
Because she was pregnant, they might not be so hard on her either .
"Okay…"
Gu Jingming grasped her hands and walked out with her .
It was also Yu Minmin's first time coming to a place like a parliament .
The head of each department, the heads of the military, and everyone else were gathered around . They decided all the national affairs here .
Yu Minmin drew in a deep breath . She saw a row of people look at her in unison . She nodded her head slightly before walking to the front under everyone's watchful gazes .
"Hello, everyone . I know that a woman like me shouldn't be here . "
