Gu Anran stood up abruptly in anger and retorted angrily, "What do you mean? Are you sick in the head?"
Gu Xiaotian blinked his bright eyes at her. He didn't find her funny when he first met her, but now that he saw her bullying his mother like this, the little boy clenched his fists in anger.
He angrily looked up at Liu Xinrou and retorted, "Auntie, you're a public figure, how can you speak so rudely?"
Liu Xinrou laughed loudly and looked at Gu Xiaotian, asking, "What kind of manners do I need to talk to a slut and a bastard?"
When Gu Anran heard Liu Xinrou speak of her son like that, she couldn't help but slap her. Liu Xinrou stared at Gu Anran in disbelief, then lunged at her like a madwoman, yelling, "You bitch, how dare you hit me?"
Gu Anran grabbed her hand and flung it away, staring intently at Liu Xinrou with a fierce expression, saying, "You can insult me, but if you dare to insult my son, I'll fight you to the death."
Liu Xinrou was terrified by Gu Anran's protective attitude towards her son. She forgot to react and took two steps back, pointing at Gu Anran and saying in a trembling voice, "You, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this."
She turned and ran away. Gu Anran squatted down and hugged Gu Xiaotian, regaining her composure.
She looked at Gu Xiaotian seriously and told him about her relationship with Liu Xinrou.
She frowned, hugged Gu Xiaotian, and looked into the distance, saying, "Liu Xinrou is Mommy's stepsister, but we don't get along."
"I didn't tell you before because you were still young and I didn't want you to feel burdened, but now, for your safety, Mommy has decided to tell you."
Gu Anran thought Liu Xinrou was crazy because of her actions today.
Gu Xiaotian looked up at Gu Anran with heartache and said, "Mommy, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
"I will stay away from her if I see her in the future," Gu Xiaotian promised.
Ever since the last incident, Gu Anran has been living in constant fear.
She seemed distracted at work, holding a design drawing and leaning back in her chair, lost in thought, when suddenly her phone rang, startling her.
She sat up, saw the caller ID, smiled, and answered the phone: "Hello, baby."
On the other end of the phone came Gu Xiaotian's sweet, bell-like laughter: "Mommy, I might be home a little late tonight. There's a company party I need to attend."
Gu Anran knew that Gu Xiaotian would be home late today, and her eyelids kept twitching, making her feel very uneasy.
Gu Xiaotian and his assistant arrived at the hotel in a van. As soon as they got out of the car, a group of reporters surrounded Gu Xiaotian.
Various flashes of light kept going off, and everyone was asking interview questions.
"Xiao Tian, what do you want to say about becoming so famous at such a young age?"
As soon as Liu Xinrou got out of the car, she saw that the reporters were all surrounding Gu Xiaotian, completely ignoring her. She was so angry that she was jumping up and down, but she couldn't lose her composure in front of the media.
Suddenly, they remembered seeing Liu Xinrou arrive. Some people surrounded Gu Xiaotian, while others surrounded Liu Xinrou. Liu Xinrou greeted them with a fake smile.
Suddenly, a reporter, whether intentionally or not, asked loudly, "Ms. Xinrou, do you have anything to say or any words of encouragement for Gu Xiaotian's sudden rise to fame?"
Liu Xinrou glanced at Gu Xiaotian indifferently, then smiled brightly and said, "How should I answer the question asked by this friend? As a senior, I can only say that only by being humble and modest can one go far."
The reporter then turned his attention to Gu Xiaotian, saying with a smile, "So, what would our little child star like to say to his seniors?"
The assistant was so anxious that he grabbed Gu Xiaotian, fearing that he might say the wrong thing and ruin his future.
Just as I was about to refuse on Gu Xiaotian's behalf, I heard Gu Xiaotian slowly say, "What you said is indeed correct, senior. I hope you can set an example."
These words were met with a round of applause.
Liu Xinrou's face instantly froze. She had thought she could easily handle a little kid, but now it seemed she had underestimated him.
She was furious and turned to walk into the venue. Gu Xiaotian politely waved goodbye to the reporters before heading into the venue.
After walking a few steps, the assistant's palms were sweaty. He quietly gave Gu Xiaotian a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Well done! I was really worried for you."
Gu Xiaotian looked at his assistant with a reassuring gaze and said with a grin, "Uncle, don't be afraid, it's alright. Let's go in quickly."
Upon reaching the entrance of the venue, Gu Xiaotian politely presented his invitation and signed his name.
The venue was very spacious, brightly lit, and decorated with various exquisite pastries, as well as colorful drinks and wines. There was also a very large swimming pool.
The assistant introduced Gu Xiaotian to many senior colleagues, and Gu Xiaotian greeted them politely. He understood that if he wanted to pursue this path, he had to learn these skills.
Liu Xinrou stood by the swimming pool, looking around at Ye Lichuan's figure. She had already inquired that Ye Lichuan would be coming tonight.
She took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup, just as Gu Xiaotian was walking by. Gu Xiaotian looked her up and down with a smile and slowly said, "No matter how beautiful you are dressed, it's all in vain if you're not beautiful inside."
Just then, a waiter walked by. A calculating glint flashed in Liu Xinrou's eyes. She deliberately tripped the waiter, who, due to inertia, pushed Gu Xiaotian, who was walking along the edge of the swimming pool, into the pool.
With a thud…
Gu Xiaotian struggled frantically for a moment, then poked his head out of the water and shouted, "Help..."
The assistant, hearing this, cried out in panic: "Help! Please, kind people, save Xiaotian!"
He hated that he was a landlubber; the water in the pool was too deep, and there was no point in him going in.
Ye Lichuan was chatting with a friend when he heard the child's cries for help and rushed over. It was unclear whether it was a father's instinct or something else.
Seeing the child struggling in the water, he jumped into the water with a splash, quickly swam to Gu Xiaotian's side, scooped him up, and swam towards the shore.
When Liu Xinrou saw Ye Lichuan jump into the water to save someone, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth and felt extremely regretful.
She angrily slapped her head twice, feeling a tightness in her chest: "Am I an idiot? I actually let Ye Lichuan see Gu Xiaotian's face. I'm so stupid."
Ye Lichuan carried Gu Xiaotian ashore, laid him flat, and immediately called 120.
He also used first aid measures to press on his chest to drain the water. When he saw Gu Xiaotian's face, he felt it was so familiar, as if he saw himself.
He pressed on his chest even more frantically, and finally, after a few minutes, he heard a "plop..."
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief when the ambulance arrived, and he accompanied Gu Xiaotian to the hospital.
The assistant was so frightened that he had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment before he belatedly realized he needed to notify Gu Anran.
