3502: A New Addition (118)

A New Addition (118)

As for matters of the heart, she was indifferent. She felt that relationships were dispensable. Even if she were alone, she could lead a good life.1

But ever since she had Baby Chu, he became another burden in her heart.At the same time, she took her responsibility as a mother seriously.

No matter what Baby Chu wanted, she was willing to give it her all. However, it was difficult for her to fulfill his dream. Getting the marriage certificate with Gu Jinglian was just for show. Would she really be able to force herself into a situation and put on a show for the sake of Baby Chu?

Butler Fu saw that she looked like she had something on her mind but stopped short of giving it a voice. He smiled and remarked, "You seem to have something to ask me!"

When Chu He heard this, she mustered her courage and turned around to ask him, "What do you think my attitude towards Gu Jinglian was when I was living in the Gu family residence way back then?"

"…"

Butler Fu was stunned for a long time before he sighed. "I can't judge what happened between you and the old master. However, Chu He, you disguised yourself as Hong He and planted yourself by Old Master's side. At that time, he had already found out your identity. And on the other hand, you were his personal companion. You had countless opportunities to attack the old master."

Chu He was stunned by what she was hearing. After a pause, Butler Fu asked meaningfully, "Unfortunately, you didn't succeed, and Old Master never exposed your identity. Don't you think that's strange?"

"…"

"As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the bigger picture. But as a bystander, I can't say anything! It's just that it's better to let nature take its course when it comes to relationships!"

While Chu He was deep in thought, Butler Fu added, "That's not important! What's important is that Baby Chu and Master are arguing over the birthday venue now. You should go and persuade them and come up with alternatives."

Chu He was flabbergasted.

When she entered the study, she saw Baby Chu sitting on the sofa with his arms across his chest, looking very angry. Gu Jinglian, on the other hand, sat calmly in front of the desk, with the inked calligraphy brush in his hand.

When Baby Chu saw Chu He, his angry face gave way to a crestfallen expression as he opened his arms and rushed towards her, feeling aggrieved. "Mommy! Sob sob sob…"

Gu Jinglian looked up. Seeing that she had returned, he ignored her as if she was air. Chu He lifted Baby Chu into her arms. At this point, the boy started to lament bitterly.

"Isn't it my birthday this Sunday? I told Daddy I wish to hold a birthday party at the Gu residence. This way, we'll be saving money and having fun at the same time! But Daddy wouldn't allow it! What do I do now?"

Chu He's lips twitched. "Saving money?"

"That's right. Daddy said that he'd book a hotel, but I think it's too wasteful!" Baby Chu whispered into her ear, "I heard from Butler Fu that it costs tens of thousands to book a hotel! It's so expensive! I was kind enough to save money for Daddy, but he called me a fool! He even said that the Gu residence is so big, and if my friends lose their way inside and go missing, it would be too troublesome to hunt them down one by one."

Chu He was at a lost for words. There was truth to that logic. The Gu family residence was built on prime and extremely expensive land. But even so, the residence grounds were huge.

The first time she came to the Gu family residence, she got lost in it.

She could imagine how troublesome it would be, if a large group of children came over. If they should go missing and anything should happen to them, it would be troublesome indeed.

Furthermore…

The staff of the Gu family residence were all fierce-looking. Wouldn't they scare these innocent children?

"Why don't we just listen to Daddy and book a hotel for the event?"
