What else can they do? This child wasn't even born into their family, yet they dared to abuse him. If Gu Tingxiao really pursued the matter, Dazhuang's family wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if they sold everything they owned!
Gu Tingxiao took Xiao Anman away directly.
Assistant Zhou, who had been waiting there, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the little guy in his boss's arms.
What did he see?
Mr. Gu is holding a child in his arms?
Um?
Where did the child come from?
Did Mr. Gu pick it up?
Assistant Zhou had a big head and a lot of questions.
"drive."
In this kind of weather, the little one in my arms was only wearing a thin old dress. At such a young age, he should be pampered in his parents' hands, but he had to suffer like this.
Sensing that President Gu might not be in a good mood, Assistant Zhou quickly got into the car and started the engine.
"Turn on the air conditioner."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Today was a special day, and although Assistant Zhou was incredibly curious, he didn't dare ask a single question, for fear of incurring President Gu's wrath.
"So, Mr. Gu, are we going back to the old house today?"
The car is moving, but the destination is still unknown.
Assistant Zhou asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingxiao looked down at the little guy who had fallen asleep sometime during the warm ride inside the car.
He was supposed to go back to the old house today, but if he took this little guy back with him, it would probably cause an uproar at the old house.
Forget it, I won't go back today.
Anyway, he went, and it ended badly.
It's better not to go.
"Go back to Yujinwan."
That was his private residence, a place where he could find some peace and quiet for the time being.
"OK."
In the rearview mirror, President Gu was holding a child in his arms, moving gently, and even lowering his tone of voice when speaking to him, which made Assistant Zhou even more curious about the child's true identity.
It took an hour and a half to get back to Royal Bay.
Xiao Anman had already had a sweet sleep. When she woke up, Gu Tingxiao was just carrying her as he stepped into his house.
The gentleman brought home a little child!
The servants at the Gu family villa in Royal Bay also noticed little Anman, who was being carefully held in Gu Tingxiao's arms.
"The master is back."
An aunt who had worked for the Gu family for over ten years came to greet them.
The little guy was still wearing his dirty clothes, so Gu Tingxiao had Aunt Zhang, who came to greet him, carry him to take a bath.
Just as Gu Tingxiao handed her to Aunt Zhang, Xiao An, who had been silent all along, tightly gripped his sleeve.
"Auntie will help you take a bath and change your clothes, don't be afraid."
Thinking she was scared because she was in an unfamiliar place, Gu Tingxiao comforted her.
Xiao Anman still wouldn't let go.
"Here's what we'll do: you take this, and I'll wait for you here until you've finished showering. I promise I'll still be there, okay?"
It's quite remarkable that Gu Tingxiao, the CEO of a listed company, who has never coaxed anyone before, could actually make an agreement with a three-year-old child while being looked at by Xiao Anman's big, dark eyes.
Gu Tingxiao took a sapphire cufflink from his sleeve and gave it to Xiao Anman.
With a new toy in hand, An Man quickly stopped worrying about whether Gu Tingxiao was with him or not.
She readily let go and went to take a bath with her aunt.
This made Gu Tingxiao feel a little disappointed. After standing in the living room for a while, he took off the other sleeve, intending to give it to the little one if she liked it later.
Aunt Zhang carried Xiao Anman into the bathroom.
She was quiet and didn't make a fuss. Her little hands held the sapphire cufflinks that Gu Tingxiao had given her, letting Aunt Zhang fiddle with them as she pleased.
This was the first time Aunt Zhang had encountered such an obedient and well-behaved child. She didn't know what was going on with Xiao Anman, but she couldn't help but praise her, "Baby is so good."
Xiao Anman, who had never been called "baby" before, kept her head down and played with her new toy without reacting.
Aunt Zhang assumed she was just shy. She wasn't talkative and didn't think much of it.
Little did she know that when she took off Xiao Anman's clothes, she would see such a horrifying scene.
After giving Xiao Anman a bath, Aunt Zhang's eyes were already red.
No kid can be beaten so badly that there's not a single good piece of flesh on their body!
How old is this child!
His body was covered in a mix of new and old wounds, leaving no part of him that was worth seeing!
Aunt Zhang gently rinsed Xiao Anman's body with warm water and then wiped her face and body clean with a soft towel. When she saw Xiao Anman's pure and innocent little face after it was cleaned, Aunt Zhang was so sad that she couldn't help but feel sad.
After changing Xiao Anman's clothes, Aunt Zhang carried her to the living room. Her eyes were still red.
Seeing Gu Tingxiao reach out and take Xiao Anman away with a look of concern in his eyes, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say, "Sir, the child needs to be taken to the hospital for a check-up."
Gu Tingxiao followed the clothes that Aunt Zhang had lifted up to see Xiao Anman's clothes and saw shocking scars.
how so!
Being a grown man, Gu Tingxiao was only thinking about taking the little one away and forgot to check on her injuries.
This is not something a human being could do! This is clearly the work of an animal!
"Call Dr. Zhao and have him come over!"
Gu Tingxiao gritted his teeth. He would make that family know what regret was. They treated such a young child like a punching bag.
Hit me if you want, scold me if you want, criticize me if you want.
That's absolutely inhuman!
