Chapter 583 Those eyes look so much like Wei Qiming.
After returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Gu Qingchen kept mumbling to defend himself all the way, but Chu Ruohan didn't hear a word he said.
"Qingchen, go back to your room first. I have something to ask you." Chu Ruohan said with a stern face.
Gu Qingchen curled his lips and followed his mother into the inner room obediently.
As soon as she sat down, Chu Ruohan asked directly, "Do you know whose child Lin Jiayou is?"
"I know. The teacher said he is the son of the Princess of Prince Yong's Mansion." Gu Qingchen answered as a matter of course.
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath: "Do you know who his mother is?"
"Princess, didn't you hear what mother said just now?" Gu Qingchen looked puzzled.
"His mother is Lin Xingyao." Chu Ruohan said word by word, her eyes fixed on her daughter's face.
Gu Qingchen blinked: "Who is Lin Xingyao? That name sounds nice."
Chu Ruohan looked at her daughter's innocent appearance, but her vigilance did not decrease in the slightest.
The child is still young and doesn't understand the grudges between adults, but precisely because of this, he is more easily exploited.
"In short, stay away from that Lin Jiayou from now on." Chu Ruohan's tone became stern, "He is not someone you should be associating with."
"Why?" Gu Qingchen stood up unconvinced. "Lin Jiayou is a very good person! If he hadn't stopped me today, I would have climbed onto the roof a long time ago. He followed me up to protect me!"
"Protect you?" Chu Ruohan sneered, "Qingchen, you're still too young to understand the treacherous nature of human nature. Some people may appear to be nice to you, but in reality, they have other intentions."
"Mother, how can you say that to him!" Gu Qingchen was anxious, her face flushed red, "Lin Jiayou is not that kind of person! He usually doesn't say a word and doesn't even resist when he's bullied. How could he have any bad intentions!"
"It's because he didn't resist that people are more suspicious." Chu Ruohan stood up and walked to her daughter. "Qingchen, mother is not targeting him. I just think you two are not suitable to be friends."
"Inappropriate?" Gu Qingchen's eyes widened. "Mother, what you said is exactly the same as those who bullied Lin Jiayou! It's all because of his background!"
Chu Ruohan's heart was shocked. Her daughter's words were like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
"That's not what I meant." Chu Ruohan tried to explain, "I'm just worried about you."
"What are you worried about?" Gu Qingchen said with tears in his eyes, "Are you worried that I'll befriend a 'bastard' and lose face for the Zhenguo Mansion?"
"Gu Qingchen!" Chu Ruohan shouted, "Don't say that!"
"Then why doesn't mother let me be friends with him?" Gu Qingchen asked tearfully, "He hasn't done anything bad. Just because others say he comes from a bad family, mother wants me to stay away from him?"
Chu Ruohan looked at her daughter's face full of grievance and confusion, and felt mixed emotions.
She knew her thoughts were too complex for a seven-year-old, but she couldn't explain why.
"Qingchen, there are some things you don't understand now." Chu Ruohan's tone softened, "You will understand when you grow up."
"I don't want to understand it until I grow up!" Gu Qingchen shook his head stubbornly, "I feel that what mother did is wrong now! Lin Jiayou is a good man, but mother looks at him with that kind of eyes. It's not fair!"
Allen Chu sighed helplessly, turned and walked to the window, with her back to her daughter.
As the night deepened, Gu Junze came back from outside. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a quarrel coming from the inner room.
He frowned and walked in quicken his pace.
"What's wrong?" Gu Junze looked at his daughter who was crying, and then at his wife who looked exhausted.
"Daddy!" Gu Qingchen rushed over to his father as soon as he saw him. "Mom doesn't allow me to be friends with Lin Jiayou!"
Gu Junze caught his daughter and looked at Chu Ruohan: "Why?"
Chu Ruohan turned around, her eyes full of worry: "Do you know whose child that Lin Jiayou is?"
Gu Junze nodded, "Lin Xingyao's son."
"Then why are you asking?" Chu Ruohan's voice was a little impatient. "Lin Xingyao is a woman with a deep mind. How could her son be a good person?"
"Han'er." Gu Junze called her name softly, "He's just a child."
"So what if it's a child?" Chu Ruohan walked up to him. "A snake cub will still be a snake when it grows up!"
Gu Qingchen was in his father's arms, and his tears flowed even harder when he heard his mother say this about Lin Jiayou.
"Daddy, Mommy said Lin Jiayou is a poisonous snake, but he is obviously a good man!" Gu Qingchen said sobbingly.
Gu Junze gently stroked his daughter's back and said to Chu Ruohan, "Han'er, I know what you are worried about, but Qingchen is right, he is just a child. We can't be prejudiced against an innocent child just because of the grudges of adults."
"Innocent?" Chu Ruohan sneered, "Do you think such a coincidence really exists in this world? He just happened to be Lin Xingyao's son, and he happened to be in the same private school as Qingchen?"
Gu Junze frowned slightly: "You mean, this was premeditated?"
"I always feel that there's something wrong with that child's eyes." Chu Ruohan walked over to her husband and said in a low voice, "Those eyes look too much like Wei Qiming's."
"Han'er, are you overthinking it?" Gu Junze tried to comfort his wife.
Gu Qingchen was in her father's arms, listening to her parents' conversation. Although she didn't fully understand what they were saying, she knew that they were saying bad things about Lin Jiayou.
"Dad, Mom, you're both good people, why are you saying this about Lin Jiayou?" Gu Qingchen looked up, his eyes filled with confusion, "He really hasn't done anything bad, why are you all bullying him?"
Gu Junze looked at his daughter's clear eyes and felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
Indeed, when they discussed a child, they used adult thinking, which was too cruel to a seven-year-old daughter.
"Qingchen, Daddy assures you that we are not bullying him." Gu Junze said gently, "We are just worried about you."
"What are you worried about me?" Gu Qingchen asked in confusion.
Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan exchanged glances, and finally it was Gu Junze who spoke: "Qingchen, some things are very complicated. Wait until you grow up a little, and Daddy will slowly explain it to you, okay?"
"No!" Gu Qingchen shook his head. "I want to know now! Why is everyone targeting Lin Jiayou? What did he do wrong?"
Chu Ruohan looked at her daughter's stubborn look, feeling both angry and helpless.
This child's personality is really like her father's. Once she makes up her mind, nothing can change her mind.
Chu Ruohan sighed, "How about this, Qingchen will still go to the private school tomorrow, but you have to promise me that you won't get too close to that Lin Jiayou anymore."
Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up: "Can I really go to a private school?"
"But there are conditions." Chu Ruohan looked at her daughter seriously, "You have to promise mother that you won't be alone with Lin Jiayou."
Gu Qingchen frowned: "Why do you do this?"
"Because mother is worried about you." Chu Ruohan squatted down and looked at her daughter at eye level. "Qingchen, promise mother, okay?"
Gu Qingchen looked at his mother, then at his father, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise mother."
Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief, at least she had calmed down this stubborn little donkey for the time being.
