Chapter 29

Gu Chi was kicked badly by Gu Jueyan and Bai Manshu.

He beat her and scolded her: "Did you raise me just for you to play with?"

Gu Chi quickly hid behind the sofa and snorted twice: "What else? I am the one who brings happiness to Zizi, and she brings me joy."

"I'll beat you to death, do you believe it?"

Cancan had already been taken to the second floor by Qi Sen to play with building blocks.

Gu Chi knew that the only person in the family who could protect him was no longer around, so he had to give in when it was time to be brave and not get beaten in vain.

Standing up straight, Gu Chi nodded and said, "Dad, of course I believe it."

**

Upstairs, Qi Sen took off Cancan's giant panda onesie, smiled, and began his daily routine: "Did Cancan have a good time at kindergarten today?"

Cancan nodded first, and then shook her head like a rattle.

"Cancan is unhappy today."

Qi Sen's expression changed instantly, and his tone was stern: "Why? What happened?"

Cancan said aggrievedly: "Daddy came to pick Cancan up so late today. Cancan was not happy at all."

As she spoke, Cancan pointed at Pei Shen, who was sitting beside her and secretly eating her rainbow candy, and said seriously, "Cancan is just like Third Brother when he takes medicine."

Pei Shen: "Hmm?"

"How pitiful!" Cancan sniffed in a pretentious manner.

Pei Shen, who was regarded as a pitiful example by Cancan: ...It was quite sudden.

Cancan scratched his head and chuckled, "Cancan is no longer angry with Daddy. Daddy said he will come to pick Cancan up early every day from now on."

Qi Sen nodded, looked at the time, and asked his aunt to take Cancan to take a bath.

The chaotic noise downstairs continued.

Cancan held her aunt's hand, lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly broke free and ran to Qi Sen.

The almond-shaped eyes that sparkled like stars looked straight at him, and the image of Qi Sen squatting on the ground was vaguely reflected in her eyes.

Cancan pursed her lips and asked softly, "What about mother?"

Qi Sen: “Hmm?”

"It's Big Sister." Cancan thought of what her father and brother had said to her before and corrected the address. "Big Sister, can you come and pick me up?"

Cancan lowered her head, her little hands clenched into fists in helplessness.

"Hao Shuai's mother comes to pick him up every day."

"Little Bell's mother is also like that." Cancan said in a low voice, "Everyone else has a mother, but Cancan doesn't."

Qi Sen looked up helplessly, not knowing how to explain to her.

After a long silence, he forced a smile and said, "Big sister can't come to pick up Cancan right now. She's very busy. When she's not busy, I'll ask for you, okay?"

Cancan nodded happily and followed her aunt to take a bath.

Pei Shen looked at Cancan's back and sighed silently.

"Didn't you contact her? What did you say?"

Qi Sen sat on the sofa.

In the huge living room, Gu Chihuan's cries of pain and Wei Xun's voice could be heard from time to time.

The TV in front of me was playing a TV series starring Wei Xun. She had a good command of dialogue and did all the dubbing herself in the TV series and movies she participated in.

At this moment, a sorrowful voice like the cry of a cuckoo could be heard.

"You were the ones who were aggressive and unreasonable. You crushed my hopes, and now you're blaming me."

"You are the ones who are wrong. It has nothing to do with me."

..

Qi Sen felt a slight pain in his heart as he listened to those lines.

"She's in a bad situation."

Pei Shen was stunned.

Wei Xun's family is ordinary, and his relatives are a group of vampires. His uncle helped his father in his early years, and used this as an excuse to ask for a lot of benefits.

Her parents were both indecisive and did not dare to resist when bullied by relatives.

When he was in high school, his mother died of illness and his father remarried and started a family. Just when he was at the end of his rope, he was accidentally discovered by a scout and entered the entertainment industry.

She also entered the entertainment industry at the age of 18, but her life was not as smooth as Sheng Jing's.

She has a beautiful face and is well connected with the entertainment industry. A greasy and bloated boss takes a fancy to her and says he wants to keep her, but Wei Xun is unwilling and is forced to be put on ice for a year.

The works he filmed when he debuted were a bit popular, but without any subsequent works, his glory was overshadowed by the newcomers who came after him.

A year ago, Wei Xun had just finished watching a movie and was wandering on the street with a lonely look on his face.

His expression was filled with sorrow. Although there were no tears in his eyes, he gave off an endless feeling of despair and sorrow.

A well-known director happened to come out after watching a movie. When he saw Wei Xun, he was like he had found a treasure and insisted on making her the heroine of his next art film.

It was this film she collaborated with Wei Su that pulled her out of a world where no one cared about her.

Wei Xun is hardworking. Although she is not a professional, she is very hardworking. Her subsequent works have amazed the entire entertainment industry, breaking everyone's pessimism. She has stunned the audience at major award ceremonies and quickly squeezed into the ranks of the four major flowers.

These are what Wei Xun said herself in a documentary. It was so heartfelt that most of her fans have seen it. Because of this, many fans hope that she can focus on her career. Only when she becomes strong will she not be bullied by those idiots in the past.

Qi Sen said calmly: "In this life, she values her career more than anything else."

She had experienced being underestimated, being mocked when she was put on ice, being ordered around, watching others rise step by step, and watching her parents live in harmony, but they had no idea what she was thinking.

But I can probably guess a little.

This world always bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Qi Sen shook his head in self-mockery.

His parents had dared to stand in front of him and threaten him directly, and that greasy capitalist had no scruples about hiding her, but it was all because they were not strong enough.

Only when you become strong can you avoid being ignored or ridiculed.

I'm afraid Wei Xun is the same.

So when he asked the people from the film and television company to ask Wei Xun's team if they could come to meet Cancan, the other party refused directly and did not give Qi Sen any chance to retain them.

Wei Xun's team said, "Even though the Gu family explained it clearly this time, keyboard warriors won't let her off. Cancan's words 'mother' have made everyone suspect Wei Xun and Gu Chi of some kind of affair. Even if you explain a thousand or ten thousand times, they'll still say flies don't want eggs without cracks. There must be a reason why Cancan calls Wei Xun 'mother,' right? If Wei Xun continues to be connected to the Gu family and Cancan like this, then all her future efforts may be labeled as support and favors from the Gu family."

"She doesn't like capital. She wants everyone to know that when she stands at major award ceremonies, she has no boss behind her, no one's help, only her own hard work."

"Every award she receives is a reward she deserves."

"She loved Cancan very much, but that crystal ball was the last thing she gave to Cancan."

When Qi Sen heard these words, he was stunned for a long time, staring at the phone screen silently, not knowing what to say.

Wei Xun is not wrong.

Sometimes the world's self-righteousness and prejudice are wrong.

Qi Sen came back to his senses and said calmly: "Don't talk about this anymore. When she is strong enough, Cancan will recognize her one day."

Pei Shen nodded.

Thinking of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "By the way, I might go to training in the middle of next month."

"Training?"

"The people who won the gold and silver medals in the last chemistry competition can be selected for the national chemistry competition team. The teacher mentioned this to me today."

Qi Sen nodded, "That's not bad, I can meet more people there."

Pei Shen smiled and continued reading the downloaded paper.

I can't stop feeling excited and happy.

There, he can meet more people with similar interests and sprint towards more distant goals.

**

Qi Sen glanced downstairs when he returned to his room.

Gu Jueyan and Bai Manshu were sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Gu Chi, covered in dust, stood there with a plate of fruit held high in his hands.

As soon as Gu Jueyan stretched out his hand, Gu Chi hurriedly squatted down and handed the fruit bowl on his head to where his father could reach.

The movable fruit plate that can change its height is quite good, Qi Sen curled his lips.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Pei Shen slipped away from school early.

He patted Qi Sen's shoulder and said proudly, "I'll go pick up our little princess."

During the break, a classmate saw him walking out with his schoolbag and asked curiously, "Is there no one to pick up your little princess?"

Pei Shen shook his head.

"Things are different today."

Gu Chi went late yesterday, and Cancan's pitiful appearance in front of other parents was deeply rooted in people's minds. This morning, the teacher specifically chatted with Gu Chi privately and asked him to go earlier today, saying that many parents felt that Cancan was very pitiful yesterday.

Gu Chi sent this screenshot to the group and added two tear emojis.

Gu Chi: I am sorry for Cancan [tears]

Gu Chi: I will go early today to let everyone know that our Cancan is the happiest child [tears]

Gu Chi didn't know that Pei Shen and Sheng Jing felt heartbroken after seeing what the teacher said.

These days, Cancan calls Sheng Jing every night at 7 o'clock. Her agent, Xiao Li, jokes, "With Cancan, we don't need to listen to the news broadcast to know it's 7 o'clock anymore."

The team assistant smiled and said, "Why is Cancan so punctual?"

Xiao Li hurriedly explained: "Because when Cancan first called Sheng Jing, Sheng Jing was very busy and didn't have time to answer. Later, when she called, Cancan asked when she could answer the phone, and Sheng Jing said 7 o'clock."

"And call me at seven every day from now on?"

Xiao Li laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't stop: "The most amazing thing is, what did she ask her father to be called?"

Sheng Jing reminded calmly: "Gu Chi."

"Yes, yes, Gu Chi. She asked Gu Chi to watch the time. Call on time at 7 o'clock, speak in seconds, and hang up on time at 7:01."

The assistant blinked in confusion, "Why is that? Only one minute a day?"

When Xiao Li thought of the reason, he burst out laughing.

"Because Sheng Jing said there was a time at 7 o'clock. Cancan thought that 7:01 was not 7 o'clock."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole office burst into laughter.

Sheng Jing shook his head helplessly and lay down on his mount somewhat tiredly.

He was not in Guhai City a few days ago and just flew back today after finishing an event. He was busy in the past few days and could only sleep two or three hours a day. He fell asleep in the chair and took a nap.

Xiao Li smiled and turned around, asking with concern, "Aren't you planning to come back to catch up on some sleep? Why haven't you gone home yet?"

Sheng Jing raised his phone and tapped the screen with his other hand, his eyes still sleepily closed.

"Cancan was wronged after school yesterday, and I want to pick her up today."

Make her happy.

Sheng Jing didn't say the latter part of this sentence out loud, for fear that others would think he was too narcissistic.

The assistant put down the phone and said with a smile: "You take care of Cancan on the variety show, and you still take care of her after the variety show. Cancan deserves to be on this variety show."

Someone laughed and said, "It should be our Sheng Jingzhi. A variety show directly connected them to the Gu family."

..

Jokingly, Sheng Jing was seen sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

I left the company on time at four o'clock and arrived at the gate of Cancan School.

It was only half past four. He looked at his watch and waited quietly with a mask and a baseball cap on.

Someone suddenly hit my shoulder and it hurt a little.

He frowned and looked over.

Pei Shen laughed heartily, looked him up and down, and said seriously, "Does this black outfit of yours really suit you for kindergarten?"

"Look at those parents, they're looking at you warily, thinking you're here to kidnap children."

Sheng Jing looked down at his own clothes, glanced around, and his ears turned slightly red.

He took off his mask and whispered, "This is the only way I can do it."

Pei Shen: "This is an aristocratic kindergarten. The parents are either rich or noble. Don't worry, they won't even look at you."

Sheng Jing took off his baseball cap doubtfully.

The moment he took it off, the eyes of the parents who had been following him lit up and they all came forward to ask, "Are you Sheng Jing?"

"My eldest daughter likes you very much. Can you give me an autograph?"

...

People who wanted autographs and photos surrounded Sheng Jing.

Pei Shen couldn't help but take two steps back and muttered, "I don't think even Gu Chi is this popular. It seems that when it comes to chasing stars, everyone is the same."

Ten minutes later, when it was almost time for the kindergarten to be dismissed, the group of parents took a few steps away.

Gu Chi trotted over and frowned when he saw Pei Shen and Sheng Jing. He asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"

He was answered in unison: "Pick up Cancan."

Gu Chi's brows were still furrowed. "You can pick her up, but only my name can be left on the roster later."

Pei Shen snorted, "Why?"

Sheng Jing didn't know what a roster was, but seeing the two people fighting over it, it must be something very important.

Gu Chi: "That little box is so small that it can only hold one person's name. As a father, I bear the brunt of it."

"Oh, is it your father who made Cancan suffer injustice yesterday and treated Cancan as a toy at night?" Pei Shen said sarcastically.

Gu Chi was speechless.

Pei Shen smiled and said, "I'm the third brother, Cancan's smartest brother. I can help Cancan with her homework. I'm the most useful. Sign my name."

Sheng Jing lowered his brows and pondered for a while, then said without giving in: "I am Cancan's big brother, a big star in the entertainment industry. I can make Cancan proud. I am the most useful. Sign mine."

Gu Chi looked at the two people beside him and said with a forced smile: "Comparing in front of me? What's the point of writing? I hired a hundred tutors to help Cancan with her homework; as for you, a big star."

Gu Chi fixed his gaze on Sheng Jing and sneered, "Move over. You haven't even moved into my Gu family yet, you're a total idiot."

Just then the teacher brought out a roster for everyone to sign.

Gu Chi hurried over and wrote the word "Dad" neatly on the sign next to Cancan.

Sheng Jing and Pei Shen followed closely behind.

Soon, the names of Cancan's father, eldest brother, and third brother had already been written outside the frame, while the names of other children's pick-up persons only had the names of their fathers, mothers, or aunts at home, which was really miserable.

Outside the kindergarten, parents of Class 4 looked at each other in bewilderment.

They gathered together in confusion and asked, "What's going on? Now picking up a child is also a problem?"

That wasn't all that was going on. When Teacher Li asked, "Have Cancan's parents arrived?" Gu Chi, Pei Shen, and Sheng Jing all raised their hands and said in unison, "Yes! Here!"

The voice was loud and clear, and the children in the kindergarten stared at it closely. Looking at Cancan being picked up by several people, a hint of envy suddenly flashed in their eyes.

Gu Chi was satisfied.

this..

It’s called Paimian!!!

The other parents in Grade 4: Damn it. They're really caught in the middle!!
