Chapter 220: Grandpa Song

In the noisy studio, for the first time, Zhao Manshi saw a ball of fire burning in the eyes of her frail-looking sister.1

It was burning fiercely and unyielding.

It was also at that moment that Zhao Manshi suddenly understood. Under Gu Manxi's seemingly gentle and fragile appearance, there was a firm and unyielding heart beating.

She was born poor, but now she was chasing the sun. 

—— 

At night, in the hotel restaurant.

In order to make time for himself and Gu Manxi to be alone, Song Chen actually brought a kindergarten summer vacation assignment for Gu Chu.

Under Gu Chu's resentful and disdainful gaze, Song Chen happily enjoyed the candlelit dinner in the restaurant with Gu Manxi.

At the dining table, Gu Manxi was looking at a game endorsement contract.

This was the second round of advertisements for the game developed by Cheng Group, inviting Gu Manxi to be the game spokesperson.

Gu Manxi had now signed with Song Chen's entertainment company. Song Chen had specially opened up a personal studio for her and equipped it with an A-list manager, Lisa. Lisa was originally Cao Yuezhi's manager. After Cao Yuezhi left, Lisa chose to stay in Song Group and took the initiative to become Gu Manxi's manager.

Gu Chu had investigated this Lisa in secret. She had a good character and enough strength. She had a lot of resources and connections. With this A-list manager, Gu Manxi would definitely become famous within a few years.

"Manxi, we don't look at work during dinner time." Song Chen felt helpless. My wife is more obsessed with work than I am. What should I do?

Gu Manxi put down the contract and said, "This contract was sent by Lisa. The shooting period is short. I need to familiarize myself with it first."

Song Chen sighed.

He could not help but think back to six years ago, when he and Gu Manxi signed a lover's contract. It seemed that every time he had dinner with Gu Manxi, he would always be the one reading the documents and signing the projects at the dining table. Gu Manxi would only wait by the side and eat quietly. She did not dare to disturb him.

Now, the tables had turned. The person who did not forget about one's career at the dining table was Gu Manxi. He had become the pitiful person who could do nothing but eat. 

But he didn't dare to rush her.

Otherwise, he would be deprived of the right to sleep on the sofa tonight.

It wasn't easy for Gu Manxi to finally finish reading the contract and the requirements of the shoot. Gu Manxi's attention finally returned to dinner. Song Chen asked the waiter to change the steak and said tactfully, "Manxi, actually, I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask for your opinion on."

Gu Manxi: "Go ahead."

Song Chen said, "Next Saturday is my grandfather's 80th birthday. I want to bring Chuchu to attend--"

Gu Manxi suddenly became nervous. "No! Chuchu is still young. She can't go back to your family."

Gu Manxi was a little flustered. Could it be that Song Chen was planning to bring Chuchu back to the Song family and acknowledge her ancestors?

That also meant that she wouldn't be able to accompany Gu Chu often in the future and watch her grow up.

"No, Manxi, don't worry." Song Chen was afraid that his wife would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "I'm just taking Chuchu to the birthday banquet. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Gu Manxi shook her head, her tone full of distrust.

"It's true, I swear. You and I are both Chuchu's guardians. I won't take away your custody, and we'll raise the child together." Song Chen knew the importance of Chuchu in Manxi's heart, his words were sincere. "Grandpa is old and has serious cardiovascular disease. He doesn't have much time left. He's been looking forward to having a great-grandkid. I want Chuchu to meet him and fulfill his wish."

Gu Manxi frowned slightly.

She knew that Grandpa Song was a kind and generous old man.
