Chapter 30
Cancan excitedly ran to her father, eldest brother and third brother, jumped twice with joy, and her pigtails lifted up slightly, looking very cute.
"Only my second brother and mother didn't come to pick up Cancan today!"
This was the happiest moment for Cancan since she started school. As soon as she came out, she could actually see her father and her elder and third brothers!
When Pei Shen mentioned his mother, his smile faded.
Gu Chi pretended not to hear and took Cancan's hand to get into the car.
"Cancan, what did you do in kindergarten today?" Pei Shen asked.
Cancan answered fluently: "Today in kindergarten, I had a competition with Xiaolingling and others."
"What did you eat tonight?" This was the topic that Gu Chi was most concerned about.
Cancan eats three meals a day on time at school, eating with other children and actually eats more than at home.
The previous ones were all Cancan’s favorites, such as ham and egg fried rice, mung bean curd, and pork rib soup.
"Cancan thought about it, blinked slowly, and said hesitantly: "I ate pig food."
? ?
"Pork rice?" Sheng Jing asked in surprise.
Cancan nodded and said in a resounding voice: "It's just a long piece of meat, pig rice!"
Pei Shen hesitated and said, "Is it...pork rice?"
Cancan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked in a baby voice, "Really?"
No matter what kind of rice it was, she kept shouting "pork rice" all the way home, obviously she liked it very much.
Gu Chi, Pei Shen, and Sheng Jing smiled as they looked at the noisy Cancan from time to time.
The scene was warm and even the driver was in a good mood.
After eating, Sheng Jing went home to rest.
On Saturday, Bai Manshu is free and is going out to meet a group of friends and have afternoon tea.
Gu Chi finally got a day off. He quickly stuffed Cancan into Bai Manshu's arms and yawned, "Mom, take care of your little grandson for a day. I want to go out and play after I sleep."
He also took a fancy to two super cute dinosaur dolls!!
Without waiting for Bai Manshu to speak, Gu Chi quickly slipped back into the room. With the door closed, only Bai Manshu and Cancan were left staring at each other.
Bai Manshu pinched Cancan's little face, and a smile flashed in his faint eyes.
It's very soft.
Like fudge.
**
Afternoon tea was held in the small garden of a friend's home.
Bai Manshu has been traveling abroad for almost a month. This is her first time to attend afternoon tea after returning to China. Her friends invited many people to hold a welcoming party for her.
Although Cancan wants to call Bai Manshu grandma, she is only 44 years old. There is no trace of the passing of time on her well-maintained face. Her pair of upturned almond-shaped eyes are majestic without being angry, and she has a strong aura that makes people's eyes fall on her involuntarily.
The small garden in my friend's house faces the swimming pool.
Cancan was chasing butterflies in the garden and was sweating profusely.
Bai Manshu asked her aunt to change Cancan's underwear and asked someone to give her a few sips of orange juice.
There was sweet orange juice to drink. Cancan held the orange juice in her two little hands and stood beside Bai Manshu, sipping it obediently. Her eyes were looking seriously in front of her. She looked very focused and a little silly while drinking the orange juice, which made people laugh.
Suddenly, a young woman smiled and said, "Cancan is so cute."
Bai Manshu looked over where the voice came from, and his eyes unconsciously grew colder.
The person who was speaking was called Chen Man, the proprietress of a catering group. She was the mistress who took over the position, and Bai Mansu disliked her.
She dislikes her husband even more, and it makes her upset just looking at him.
Here, Chen Man praised Cancan, but Bai Manshu did not say anything. She just looked at Cancan who was still concentrating on drinking juice, and wiped the orange juice from the corner of her mouth with a wet tissue from time to time.
Chen Man laughed even louder: "Madam Bai, I heard that your Gu Chi likes her very much. He even held a birthday party for this child a few days ago? I heard that it was a three and a half year old birthday party. He couldn't help but hold a party for the child before she was even four years old. Your Gu Chi is really unconventional in doing things."
Bai Manshu lowered her head, her fair fingers stroking the ring on her ring finger over and over again, and said lightly, "Is it funny?"
The others who were also amused by Chen Man suddenly hid their smiles and didn't dare to speak.
Bai Manshu laughed out loud, "It's really funny. Throwing a birthday party for a three-and-a-half-year-old is something our family does uniquely. I heard quite a few people came that day, Cancan had a great time, the guests were happy, and our house was bustling. There's nothing wrong with that. Not to mention three and a half years old, if I like, I'll still throw a party for Cancan even if he's three years and seven months old, and every day from now on."
"It's not like I can't afford it, or I'm afraid no one will come to support me."
These words hit Chen Man right in the heart.
Last month, she prepared a hundred-day party for her newborn child. Her reputation as a mistress had long been spread throughout the circle. In addition, the man she mistook was from a wealthy family and was also from a wealthy family. People were wary of his status, so not many people went to the hundred-day party. Shen Man was so embarrassed that she didn't go out for a week.
Chen Man gritted her teeth, still smiling, "I heard that your Gu Chi will not have any more children? He will raise Cancan as his own child. I'm afraid Madam Bai must be heartbroken to give away such a huge family background of the Gu family to a child who has no blood relationship with him."
The others secretly lowered their heads, pretending to be indifferent, looking at their phones and touching their clothes.
This is what most people in the circle think today.
If Gu Chi is really as he said on Weibo, the Gu family will probably be in great trouble in the future.
Bai Manshu frowned slightly.
She was indeed distressed, and was even more afraid that Gu Chi would really not get married and have children in the future, but Bai Manshu naturally would not say this in front of Chen Man and others.
Many times, she is very protective of her own shortcomings.
Bai Manshu took Cancan's empty cup of juice, smiled, and asked her aunt to take her to catch butterflies. She turned around and said calmly, "What's the point of such a huge fortune? I'm so happy that Gu Chibai picked up a child, but I'm afraid he'll become morally corrupt in the future and become a scumbag. He'll even cheat on his wife and have an illegitimate child, bringing shame to our family."
Hearing this, a group of people looked at Shen Man.
Chen Man's face turned pale and blue, and she endured for two seconds and left in a panic.
Bai Manshu shook his head and smiled.
But after laughing, he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
She said this in front of everyone, which made it difficult for Gu Chi to have another child in the future.
In the distance, Cancan clumsily jumped up to catch a butterfly and suddenly fell onto the lawn.
She struggled to stand up and angrily wiped her face with her muddy hands. Her fair little face was stained with mud, which made her look cute and silly.
Cancan said fiercely, "Cancan must catch a big butterfly today!"
Auntie smiled and asked, "Why are you catching butterflies?"
Cancan smiled secretly, "I'm a pet for grandma. Grandma said butterflies are beautiful!"
Bai Manshu's heart felt like it was being scratched and gradually fell.
Her friend smiled and sat next to her, looking at Cancan with her: "Your granddaughter is really filial."
Bai Man smiled but said nothing.
**
At around four o'clock, Bai Manshu took Cancan to a private dressing room and had someone change her clothes. She planned to take her to a dinner party hosted by a luxury brand in the evening.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Cancan and Bai Manshu were brought to the main table by the organizers.
Bai Manshu looked at her indifferently and asked someone to prepare a baby chair for Cancan, so that she could sit higher and eat some snacks.
The person in charge nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send it to you right away."
In front of where Bai Manshu sat was a catwalk where many supermodels would be walking the runway in this season's clothes. She watched with apathy, wondering if the designer for this season's brand was there and if she could make some custom clothes for Cancan.
There were no bright lights at the dinner, and except for the catwalk, the rest of the place was a little dark.
The person in charge asked someone to turn on the lights near the main table a little, fearing that it would be too dark and they wouldn't be able to see around them.
Many celebrities with good fashion resources also took their seats.
Wei Xun is one of them.
She sat next to the main table, surrounded by a group of celebrities, all of whom were big names in the entertainment industry who had a say in front of capital.
Wei Xun, a star who has just joined the ranks of young actresses, seems to have no say in front of them.
**
Cancan took the rose cake given by her grandma and took small bites of it. Her dress was light blue, decorated with beautiful star-shaped gauze, which made her look particularly beautiful in the dim dinner.
But Cancan was only thinking about how delicious the sweet pastries were, and she kept eating another piece.
When there was only one piece left on the table, Cancan thought for a moment and passed it to Bai Manshu, "Grandma will give it to you. It's sweet and delicious~"
Bai Manshu smiled and waved his hand, "You eat."
Cancan opened her little mouth and was about to take a bite of the rose cake when her peripheral vision caught sight of her mother sitting at the table next to her.
Wei Xun was sitting alone, and the stars around him were either chatting or taking pictures, it was very lively.
She straightened her back and looked directly at the stage with a calm gaze.
The already dim place seemed even darker. If it weren't for the light from the T-stage illuminating everything, she would have been hiding in the darkness motionlessly.
It's heartbreaking to look at.
Cancan stared blankly for a while.
Everyone else was talking, except my mother.
Cancan lowered her head and suddenly remembered the first day of kindergarten when she sat in a seat where no one knew her.
She watched other children talking together, but she couldn't speak, and she was so frustrated that she almost cried.
It was not until Xiao Lingling ran over, took her hand, and let her join the slide game that she became familiar with her classmates.
Cancan scratched her little head and let Bai Manshu carry her away.
In her little hands, she tightly grasped the piece of rose cake, which she was reluctant to eat.
In the darkness, Cancan used the little white light from the stage to run towards Weixun with her short legs.
Although she was walking in the opposite direction of the light, Cancan's face was full of happiness, as if she was actually running towards the light.
When other stars and guests invited to the dinner saw her, they subconsciously moved aside to make way for her.
No one present was blind.
At the main table, this little boy was being carefully cared for by Bai Manshu, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
Cancan stood at Weixun's table, and the people at the same table and others greeted her with a smile.
Cancan glanced at them and turned away.
The little short legs moved in front of the silent Wei Xun, slowly stretched out his little hands towards her, and said in a baby voice: "Eat some sweet cakes."
Cancan thought for a moment and called out softly:
"Big sister."
My second brother said that mother has her dreams.
Until her mother finishes what she wants to do, she can only call her mother "big sister".
Cancan was a little sad at first because she couldn’t call her mother, but now she is not sad at all!
Anyway...
One day, mother will love her as much as father does!
