"Hmm..."

Xu Zhaozhao struggled slightly.

Gu Qingyan held her chin firmly, and she turned her head to look at him, his gaze somewhat dangerous.

Why are you staring at him?

Xu Zhaozhao glared at him and slapped his hand away. "See what charm he has that makes the movie queen take such good care of him."

"Didn't you also have the movie star taking care of you so diligently?"

Gu Qingyan quickly responded to her words.

Xu Zhaozhao choked.

No, are they discussing the same thing?

Gu Yulin finally noticed Jian Lan beside him, looking at her with big eyes, "Eh? Who is this auntie?"

Jian Lan knew that the person was talking about her, so she raised her head, flashed a perfect smile, and was about to greet Gu Yulin.

Gu Ru followed his gaze and, upon seeing Jian Lan, stretched out his arm to block Gu Yulin's view.

"No one is unimportant."

Xu Zhaozhao clearly saw that Jian Lan tightened her grip on the tissue even more.

If Xu Zhaozhao had sunflower seeds in her hand, she would definitely be munching on them right now.

Tsk tsk tsk, not only is he not a good father, but he's also a scumbag.

Xu Zhaozhao was nearby and heard Gu Qingyan's short laugh, which was not a good thing, because it was a sarcastic laugh.

He laughed ironically at what had just happened.

Noticing Xu Zhaozhao's pleading gaze, Gu Qingyan turned his head and mercifully explained to her, "He really hates people in the entertainment industry."

Oh~

There were three people in the entertainment industry in this room, and also a son whom she planned to bring into the entertainment industry...

Xu Zhaozhao fell silent.

The grandfather and grandson, who were reluctant to part on the hospital bed, finally finished exchanging pleasantries.

Gu Ru took a document from the bedside table and handed it to Yu Yu, his eyes full of relief.

"Today, Grandpa made an important decision."

Xu Zhaozhao noticed that Gu Ru's gaze swept over them before returning to Gu Yulin.

"Yu Bao, you're four years old now. Grandpa is entrusting the entire Gu family to you! Grandpa believes in you, and I'm sure you can lead the Gu family to great heights!"

Xu Zhaozhao: ...

ah?

What did I just hear? My head is about to explode!

Gu Ru gave the entire Gu family as a birthday gift to four-year-old Yu Yu.

He's only four years old, not forty...

After the initial shock, they turned their sympathetic gaze to Gu Qingyan.

Four-year-old Yu Yu received the entire Gu family, but his 27-year-old eldest son... received nothing.

Xu Zhaozhao felt that she had been overly compassionate lately.

She moved closer, slipped her hand inside his coat, and gently hugged him.

He didn't show any emotion when he heard Gu Ru say he would give the entire Gu family to Yu Yu, but Xu Zhaozhao came over and hugged him...

All he could think about was: Gu Ru had finally done something decent.

Gu Yulin was also surprised.

"Grandpa, please stop teasing Yuyu."

He was only shocked for a moment before calming down and pushing the document back, saying, "You have to be 18 to become a legal representative, and Yu Yu is only 4 years old."

It's contradictory to possess both the innocence and maturity unique to children, but that's what's normal.

Gu Yulin turned to look at them, then turned back to Gu Ru and said, "Why don't you give it to Dad first? He can still work for a few more years."

The four-year-old still wanted to rest for a while.

Xu Zhaozhao's thoughts had already drifted away, wondering why she hadn't taken any photos earlier.

You can take a screenshot and make it into an emoji.

[I'm only four years old, I'm so tired.jpg]

Gu Ru was displeased. "What's yours is yours, he can't take it away from you."

"Fish, no."

Gu Yulin didn't know where her temper came from, she hid her hands and refused to take it, her little face showing some grievance.

When Gu Ru saw him like this, he immediately softened and patted his back gently to coax him, "Alright, alright, sweetie, Grandpa won't force you anymore. We'll talk about it when you're an adult."

In the end, he didn't give away the Gu family gift he had, but promised to give Yu Yu other gifts later, which made Yu Yu's expression better.

From beginning to end, neither Xu Zhaozhao nor Gu Qingyan participated in this farce.

Ding ding ding.

The room's vintage clock chimed, and everyone looked up at the old-fashioned clock on the wall.

It must have been Gu Ru's preference that an old-fashioned clock was installed in the ward.

It's already midnight.

Fishy's birthday has passed.

Gu Yulin took out a mini firework from his pocket and set it off in front of Gu Ru with a bang, sending out a bunch of small ribbons.

"Grandpa, get well soon!"

Unexpectedly, these childish little things brought out the biggest smile on Gu Ru's face all day.

His laughter could barely be contained in the ward.

Jian Lan stared at his smiling face, lost in thought...

When the doctor reminded the patient to rest early, everyone was "forced" to leave Gu Ru's ward.

Xu Zhaozhao drank too much tea, shoved Yuyu into Gu Qingyan's arms, and rushed into the bathroom.

After using the restroom, I walked to the mirror and saw a familiar figure.

Jian Lan.

She didn't wash her hands or touch up her makeup; she just stood there with her bag.

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.

Jian Lan was waiting for her.

Xu Zhaozhao looked away, turned on the tap, and rinsed her hands. "Senior Jian, you were looking for me?"

The moment that name was uttered, the distance between the two widened.

"Gu Ru demands that Gu Qingyan divorce you."

He didn't agree.

"If I don't divorce you, the Gu family will give you half. The so-called birthday gift is just a way to force Gu Qingyan."

"Gu Ru has always been this kind of person..."

It's unclear whether that last sentence was spoken to Xu Zhaozhao or simply a murmur to herself.

"so what?"

Xu Zhaozhao took a paper towel and dried her hands. She looked at her in the mirror and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Gu Qingyan didn't care about the Gu family, so she cared even less.

It's not like she doesn't have a home.

“He doesn’t have much time left. He has to choose between being 4 or 27.”

Jian Lan twitched the corner of her mouth. "Just pretend I'm drunk."

After saying that, he took his bag and left.

Xu Zhaozhao lowered her eyes in thought, threw the paper towel into the trash can, and walked out.

After searching for his parents for a long time and playing for a while, the child's energy was completely depleted.

Even after returning to the villa, taking a shower, and having Gu Qingyan help her dry her hair, Xu Zhaozhao remained absent-minded.

After she finished playing the flute, Xu Zhaozhao sat up and turned to face Gu Qingyan, who sat obediently, waiting for her to speak.

She took a deep breath and asked softly, "Were you negotiating with Gu Ru about divorcing me?"

"yes."

Gu Qingyan was only surprised for a moment, then took her hand and added, "We didn't reach an agreement."

But Jian Lan's words successfully planted a seed of doubt in her mind.

Xu Zhaozhao herself didn't care.

But what if... Gu Ru makes a move on Yu Yu?

Ugh, so annoying.

She's just not cut out for getting involved in these high-society secrets!
