The following day at noon, the gathering originally scheduled at Gù Jiā's home took place without He Wenjie. He had received a last-minute phone call from Europe, inviting him to participate in an oil painting symposium. The oil painting master originally scheduled to attend had been hospitalized for health reasons, and among masters of the same caliber, only He Wenjie, far away in China, was available. Responding to the call from the master's family, he agreed to attend the event. Due to the urgency, He Wenjie had departed very early.
Just as he was in France, spouting nonsense about his views on structuralism to a bunch of foreigners, he received a WeChat message from Gù Jiā: "You guessed it. Xiaoqin had a change of heart at the hospital. They've decided to keep the baby."
"I remember pregnant women have to cut back on sweets, right? Can someone with her temperament stand that? Just imagining her looking miserable over not being able to eat sweets makes me want to laugh."
