Gu Aiguo glanced at the child in Chen Shujing's arms and his heart softened.
But the thought of his son, whose whereabouts were still unknown, chilled him to the bone. "Maybe this is all just a trick she pulled on purpose. She just wants you to worry, so she deliberately went missing. I'm telling you, I won't fall for it."
Chen Shengnan looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but say, "Ali is not that kind of person. She would not hide away and make us worry. Something must have happened to her."
Gu Aiguo glanced at Chen Shengnan with disdain. What kind of good person could be so close to Su Li?
He reached out and snatched the child from Chen Shujing's arms. The little guy had been happy in his grandmother's arms, but suddenly being taken away by Gu Aiguo made him uncomfortable, and he burst into tears, waving his hands incessantly, "Waaah... Grandma, Grandma, hug... Waaah..."
Chen Shujing felt a pang of sympathy. She had just approached Gu Aiguo and was about to take the baby when she heard him say, "Go back! Don't let your husband find out you came here and start overthinking."
“Gu Aiguo, you are a cold-blooded and heartless animal. I’m not holding it against you for how you treated me back then. Hua Nian’s life is hanging in the balance, and I asked you to go and save your future daughter-in-law, but you refused. How can there be such a person as you in this world? If Hua Nian finds out what you did, she will never forgive you.”
Upon hearing Chen Shujing's words, Gu Aiguo felt as if he were about to vomit blood.
“I admit I made mistakes before, and I begged for your forgiveness, but you didn’t forgive me. Now that you’ve married someone else, you should mind your own business. I’ll take care of the baby from now on; he’s our Gu family’s child, so you don’t need to come anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shujing was so angry that she wanted to slap Gu Aiguo, but her hand was grabbed by him as soon as she reached out.
Chen Shujing was furious: "Gu Aiguo, what right do you have to keep the child with you? You've only looked at the child for a day or two and you think he's yours? I'm telling you, the child can stay with you for a couple of days, but once I find Su Li, you have to return him."
Chen Shujing thought that this man would help find Su Li for the sake of his son and grandson, but she didn't expect him to be so heartless.
She felt at ease leaving the child with him, since he was a soldier and wouldn't do anything bad to the child.
Gu Aiguo released Chen Shujing's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "It's not impossible for you to ask me for help, but you have to agree to one condition."
Chen Shujing was about to leave when she heard his words and looked up at him.
"What are the conditions?"
"You divorce Liu Wenqing."
He still can't accept the fact that Chen Shuqing has remarried. She doesn't have to remarry him, but she has to separate from that man.
He disliked women who used to be his women but now spent every day with other men.
Whenever Gu Aiguo thought about it, he felt filled with resentment, but he was helpless.
Chen Shujing would rather not have listened to these words; she couldn't break up with Liu Wenqing because of this.
After marrying him, she realized that a happy marriage is more than just the mundane details of daily life.
When she first married Gu Aiguo, to be honest, she felt that he treated her well.
But he never helped with housework or found clothes for me.
But it wasn't until she got together with Liu Wenqing that she realized marriage could be like this.
In the morning, the two of them can cook together, and before going to bed at night, he always carefully massages and soaks her feet.
Sometimes, knowing that she was tired from taking care of the children at home during the day, I would take them out to eat when she got home.
When he's resting, he always takes the initiative to do the housework.
Liu Ru was very obedient and well-behaved, and she never had to worry about her. She felt that she had never lived such a comfortable life before.
These are things I never experienced when I was with Gu Aiguo.
“Zhang Aiguo, I know what you’re thinking. You still have that outdated mindset. Let me tell you, I will not divorce Wenqing.”
"Fine, if that's how it is, then you'd better get out of here!"
Before leaving, Chen Shengnan yelled at Gu Aiguo, "A selfish person like you deserves to live a lonely life forever."
Enraged by these words, Gu Aiguo slammed the door shut.
"Waaaa... Waaaa..."
The little one cried anxiously as his grandmother left.
Gu Aiguo shouted irritably, "Cry, cry, all you do is cry. Do you know that your grandma and mom don't want you anymore?"
The little guy is still young, and when he heard someone yelling at him, he cried even harder.
Helpless, Gu Aiguo could only pick up the child and try to soothe him.
Considering that he still had a job and the nanny at home had been fired, he really couldn't take care of the child by himself.
He suddenly thought of asking Aunt Zhang from next door to come and help look after his house.
Gu Aiguo knocked on Aunt Zhang's door, and a middle-aged woman opened it.
He also recognized her as Aunt Zhang's daughter, who had married out of the family. He had heard that her husband had passed away in the last two years.
When the woman saw Gu Aiguo, she put on a polite smile and asked, "Comrade Gu, who are you looking for?"
She spoke as if she had just seen the child in his arms: "Oh! Is this your grandson? He's so handsome."
The little one cried himself to sleep and is now asleep in his arms.
"Yes, this is my grandson. Is Aunt Zhang here?"
Gu Aiguo still has military affairs to attend to, so he can't stay home with the little guy every day.
He was thinking of having Aunt Zhang help take care of the child first, and then he would personally teach him when he got older.
He'll definitely be better off with his uneducated grandmother and his troublemaking mother.
"My mother is here, Comrade Gu, please come in first."
Gu Aiguo followed her inside, and Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw him.
Now her eldest daughter has become a major headache for her; she only stayed at her parents' house for two days.
Her daughter-in-law was already giving her the cold shoulder.
Seeing Gu Aiguo arrive, she immediately had an idea.
Gu Aiguo has been divorced for so long, and he is not much different from his own daughter.
If they get together, they can look out for each other since their families live so close together.
Thinking of this, her gaze toward Gu Aiguo became even more fervent.
"Aifang, quickly go and pour Aiguo a cup of tea."
Niu Aifang obediently turned around and went to make tea for Gu Aiguo.
Gu Aiguo then looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Auntie, I came here today to ask you for a favor."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Just tell me what you need. I'll help you with anything that can be of my use."
"Here's the thing, our two families live close by, and I'd like to hire you to help look after our child. I'll pay you twelve yuan a month, how does that sound?"
Gu Aiguo didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang smiled broadly, her eyes practically disappearing behind her teeth.
