Chapter 18



The word "grandfather" deeply penetrated into Gu Jueyan's heart.

He was only 46 years old. He originally thought that he would have the chance to see Gu Chi get married and have children after his hair turned gray in a few years and Gu Chi stopped making trouble.

I never thought that my life would accelerate at 20 times the speed, and I would directly step from being a father into middle-aged and elderly life.

Gu Chi lowered his head to suppress his laughter, his shoulders shaking constantly.

Qi Sen, who was unfazed by praise or criticism, used his fist to cover the slightly raised corners of his lips, coughed lightly twice, and lowered his head and said, "Cancan, how can you call me grandpa?"

Facial recognition had already been completed. Cancan, not at all confused, shook her head and rhythmically sang and danced to the "Beilehu" children's song she had heard on TV: "What's Daddy's dad's name? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa."

The little baby voice paused for two seconds, and Cancan spread her hands with an innocent look on her face: "Cancan didn't say anything wrong."

Gu Jueyan glared at Gu Chi.

It’s all this son’s fault. Why should he recognize a daughter? Can’t he just recognize a sister like Qi Sen and the others?

But now that things have come to this, he has no chance of changing Cancan's values except to accept his fate.

You can't invest in that tiger cartoon and ask them to release a children's song exclusively for Cancan, telling her that "Dad's dad" doesn't necessarily mean grandpa.

At the lunch table, Cancan's eyes lit up as she looked at the dishes.

Fried shrimp with corn and ham, fried ham with cucumber, egg roll with mushroom and ham, barbecued pork and ham...

Wow~~

It's all ham!

She really likes this castle! !

But others don't think so.

"Dad, why did you ask someone to make a table full of sausages?"

Gu Jueyan picked up some dishes for Cancan, and when he heard the babyish voice of "Thank you, Grandpa", he couldn't help but tremble all over. He was still trying to accept the process of being a grandfather.

He snorted at Gu Chi's words: "Didn't you say Cancan likes sausage?"

Yesterday he asked Gu Chi to ask, and found out that Cancan likes to eat sausages, and his two brothers like it too.

Isn’t it right to prepare a table full of sausages to welcome Cancan?

Gu Chi pursed his lips, pointed at the salad in front of him and said with all his patience: "But you don't need salad and ask someone to make it with ham, right?"

It's all ham, are you going to let us live?!

Gu Jueyan said calmly: "That's nothing. The dessert later will also be cheese and ham sausage."

As soon as he finished speaking, even Qi Sen and Pei Shen, who had been silent, looked at Gu Jueyan with stiff expressions.

This meal...I'm afraid it's hard to swallow.

"Dessert? What is dessert?"

When he heard the word "ham sausage", Cancan's alarm bells went off. He looked up from the bowl and put the fork with the ham sausage to his mouth. After he finished speaking, he immediately took a big bite, fearing that he would be a second late in eating.

Qi Sen was about to pick up some food for Cancan, but when he saw the various sausages in her bowl, he silently put away his chopsticks and explained softly, "It's just ice cream and other sweet foods that can only be eaten after dinner."

Cancan nodded in understanding and continued eating happily. When her eyes fell on the other people at the table, her bright eyes blinked and she asked in a baby voice, "Brother and Daddy, why aren't you eating?"

She stuffed another mouthful of ham sausage and said innocently, "Cancan loves eating the most. You should eat as much as Cancan, so that you can grow taller."

The three people she CUE'd were looking for side dishes like corn, cucumbers, and mushrooms among the plates of sausages with forced smiles on their faces. They were smiling on the surface but complaining in their hearts.

They are all ham sausages, how can you not like to eat? !

**

Nearing dinner time in the afternoon, Qi Sen and Pei Shen left Cancan at home under the pretext of going to the library to study, and Gu Chi also found an excuse to run away.

Cancan, who was sitting on the sofa playing a puzzle with her grandfather, looked at the door strangely.

Huh.

Why did all the brothers run away?

There is also ham sausage to eat in the evening!

Cancan didn't know that her two beloved brothers and father would rather order takeout outside than go home and continue their sausage "feast".

When the three met at the door, they all had bitter looks on their faces.

Pei Shen looked up at the sky and said vaguely, "Tell me, when will Cancan get tired of sausage?"

Gu Chi sighed: "Oh, I hope next time she will fall in love with chicken legs, beef, big fish and shrimp."

Qi Sen recalled Cancan's previous eating habits.

Cancan likes green vegetables and won’t eat spicy food at all. She only likes to eat steamed meat or meat that has been washed with water and has no taste.

He pursed his lips and said after a long moment, "Cancan, please don't fall in love with eating vegetables. I'll be satisfied."

Hearing this, Pei Shen and Gu Chi shrank back in disgust.

A table full of lush green vegetables...it's scary just thinking about it.

Canbao, please don’t love green vegetables, please!

This is what Pei Shen and Gu Chi are thinking at the moment.

**

Half an hour before dinner, Cancan stood happily in front of the dining table.

Gu Jueyan asked as he passed by: "What is Cancan doing standing there?"

Cancan's voice was very loud: "Waiting for the ham sausage rice!"

Gu Jueyan laughed, fearing that Cancan would be disappointed.

"We're not eating at home tonight. We're going to a dinner party."

To be precise, they went there to cause trouble and to attract attention.

Gu Jueyan nodded his forehead. Where was Taotao, the girl Gu Chi mentioned who took care of Cancan every day?

After thinking for a long time, I remembered that I went shopping with a friend of Qi Sen named Shu Shu, and came back in the evening. The task of changing clothes was left to the aunt at home.

A few minutes later, Cancan came out neatly dressed.

The bottom of the white gauze skirt is traced with light blue fine lines, surging like waves. She wears a small princess crown on her head, which makes her pair of bright eyes look even brighter. From her eyes, you can see that this child is innocent and simple.

Holding a white magic wand inlaid with diamonds in her hand, she looks like a delicate and lovely little princess.

Gu Jueyan smiled with satisfaction.

Half an hour later, Qi Xiuming and Jiang Ying saw Cancan. The smile on his face was as stiff as a cracked stone statue, and his face was hideous.

The news that Gu Jueyan came to the dinner party holding a little girl's hand quickly spread throughout the financial circle.

Could it be that... this is the sister that their family has hidden and never revealed?

But I haven’t heard that the Gu family has two children.

An illegitimate daughter is even more impossible.

Everyone knows that Gu Jueyan has a very good relationship with his wife and they live in harmony. Gu Chi's notorious lawlessness in the circle is all caused by the spoiling of this couple.

For a time, Cancan's identity became a mystery.

Questions arose, such as how much inheritance Gu Jueyan would give her, whether this little girl would go so far as to compete with Gu Chi for the inheritance in the future, etc.

Sitting in the main seat in the first row, Cancan put her magic wand aside and drank her milk obediently in small sips. Her black eyes moved around as she curiously observed the hall that looked like a castle.

When her eyes fell on Jiang Yingshi opposite her, she stared at him for a while.

After a few minutes, facial recognition was successful.

Cancan finally remembered that this person was the gold, silver and jewelry mother who wanted to take her brother away at the door of the hotel room.

She puffed her lips, put the milk on the table, and took Grandpa's hand and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, she is the one who wants to take Cancan's brother away!"

Article 82 of "The Handbook of Growth" states that when encountering difficulties, one must be brave enough to tell tales. The little princess cannot allow herself to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance.

In an instant, everyone who had secretly focused their attention on Cancan shifted their gaze.

The surrounding communication noise becomes smaller.

Gu Jueyan pretended not to understand and asked, "Is that your second brother Qi Sen?"

"Yeah! She wants to snatch Cancan's second brother away, but the second brother doesn't want to go home at all. He likes to have dinner with Cancan."

There was no logic in Cancan's words. One moment she was talking about snatching someone away, and the next moment she was talking about eating. But the adults present only needed to think a little to understand what Cancan meant.

But why did the Qi family snatch this kid’s second brother?

Gu Jueyan touched Cancan's little head and said nonchalantly, "I heard that the eldest son of the Qi family disappeared more than ten years ago. You found him recently. It's a good thing that the family is reunited, but you are pressing them to go home. Do you have any ideas?"

Qi Xiuming frowned: "What does Mr. Gu mean?"

Gu Jueyan smiled and said, "I heard that your youngest son, who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, has leukemia or something and needs a bone marrow transplant. And since I, your very gossipy son, heard that you have been forcing your eldest son to come home, I can't help but think a little more."

Naturally, he was better informed than Qi Sen and the others. Gu Jueyan had already guessed most of the reasons why the Qi family forced Qi Sen to return home.

Jiang Ying said softly, "This is our family matter. It's not convenient for an outsider like Mr. Gu to bring it up, right?"

Gu Jueyan stared at Jiang Ying and Qi Xiuming with dark eyes, and his aura became extremely serious. The air around them became surprised and the whole audience fell silent.

Gu Jueyan said indifferently, "Family matters are family matters. If you use family matters as moral kidnapping, coercion or inducement, then it is no longer a family matter."

He nonchalantly wiped the milk residue from the corner of Cancan's mouth, a smile on his face: "This is my adopted child, Cancan. Since she has entered my Gu family, no matter what she calls me, I will protect her with all my strength. If anyone dares to touch her, or her two beloved brothers..."

Gu Jueyan fixed his indifferent gaze on Qi Xiuming, and said slowly, "If you become my enemy, you will bear the consequences yourself."

After saying that, he smiled, took Cancan's hand and asked softly if she was full.

It was as if the solemn and cold person was not him.

The people present suddenly understood why Gu Jueyan, who never liked attending dinner parties, came here for the first time.

Gu Jueyan's trip was just to tell the Qi family and everyone in this circle that his Gu family adopted a child named Cancan today.

Although this child is adopted, the Gu family regards her as a treasure and will surely spoil her from now on.

Complex gazes fell on Cancan who was drinking milk quietly.

She looked innocent, completely unaware of what was happening.

**

After showing off in front of everyone, Gu Jueyan went home.

Qi Sen and the others had returned a long time ago and were sitting in the living room waiting for Cancan.

Gu Jueyan did not mention what happened at the banquet. He asked Gu Chi to take Cancan out to play while he went to the study to handle official business.

The large TV in front of the sofa was playing a music-related variety show.

Cancan stretched out her hands and stood like a small wooden stake, allowing Taotao to try the clothes on her one by one.

Every time he compared something, Pei Shen and Gu Chi clapped like the atmosphere group.

"Our Cancan looks good in anything she wears."

"Cancan is the most beautiful little princess in the world."

Cancan covered her face embarrassedly, and looked through her fingers at her father and brother who kept praising her.

Taotao glanced at the TV, then thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Emperor, can you find the eldest prince?"

"The eldest prince?" Qi Sen and Pei Shen asked in unison.

Tao Tao nodded repeatedly, "It's Cancan's big brother, the top star in the entertainment industry."

Qi Sen and Pei Shen finally reacted.

One of them is the second brother and the other is the third brother, and Cancan really needs an older brother.

Pei Shen thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Do I still have a fourth brother?"

"A dragon gives birth to nine sons. Could it be that Cancan really has nine brothers?"

Tao Tao waved her hands: "No, no, the Emperor only has three sons."

But none of them paid much attention to the entertainment industry and had no idea who the top stars were. Gu Chi quickly asked his assistant to send him photos of the top stars in the entertainment industry.

After seeing the photos of this group of new top stars, Taotao realized that the top stars she had searched for in the past were only the ones from several years ago.

The entertainment industry is changing rapidly, and I don’t know whether the eldest prince can stay safe in this troubled circle.

Taotao was flipping through the photos when she saw Cancan suddenly rush towards the TV, shouting, "Brother!"

**

"Sheng Jing, 18 years old, loves swimming and is good at it. Two years ago, he quickly rose to prominence in the entertainment industry through a music variety show called "The Road to Music." He later shot to fame with his role in the TV series "My Girlfriend and I Who Love to Lie." He is a new generation idol superstar in the entertainment industry, spanning both film and television and music."

Pei Shen read selectively according to Baidu Encyclopedia.

"It seems that my eldest son has a successful career and is living a good life." Gu Chi commented while eating oranges.

Cancan pointed at the TV excitedly: "I want to go find big brother!"

"It's late now, let's go tomorrow." Qi Sen comforted.

Cancan shook her head repeatedly.

She finally found her big brother, so of course she wanted to see him as soon as possible!

Gu Chi didn't have many opportunities to interact with Cancan, but he had experienced the little princess's stubborn side. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the broom in the corner and said, "As long as you sweep up the orange peels I ate and be a good kid who loves to do teaching work, I will take you to find your brother."

Although he threw the orange peels into the trash can, he was too serious about listening to Pei Shen reading his eldest son's message, and many of them fell outside the trash can.

Hearing this, Cancan came over with a broom in her hand, holding it tightly in her small hands: "Cancan is the big sister, you can help daddy sweep the floor and do housework!"

Cancan swept the floor diligently, cheering herself up while sweeping.

She had little strength and swept very slowly. It would take her a long time to sweep a piece of orange peel, but no matter how slow she was, she would eventually sweep it clean.

Seeing that the sweep was about to be completed, Gu Chi and Pei Shen looked at each other, and an idea came to their minds. They said in unison:

"Shall I throw some more?"

"How about you throw some?"

Qi Sen: ...

When Gu Jueyan came down the stairs to drink water, he saw this scene——

Cancan was sweeping the floor diligently, while Gu Chi, Qi Sen, and Pei Shen were throwing orange peels and cheering her on:

"Come on, Cancan, we'll be done soon."

However--

Cancan looked up and found that there was still a large area on the ground.

The little round face gradually became confused.

Eh?

Why are there more and more orange peels?

The author has something to say:

Gu Jueyan: Is this how you raise your kids?
