Although Yin Qi's words were excessive, they also showed that while she didn't increase Gu Yulin's "darkening value," she didn't decrease it by much either.
Gu Yulin's trust in her was pitifully small.
Trust that can crumble in just a few words.
So even when she left him a note, he didn't believe her; he just thought she was leaving and didn't want him anymore.
These little notes and things are just to coax him.
He didn't believe he would come back either.
"Don't think about it, baby."
Xu Zhaozhao sighed inwardly and hugged Gu Yulin even tighter.
"He's a big liar."
"Um."
Gu Yulin obediently replied.
They are so well-behaved that it breaks your heart.
How could Yin Qi say such hurtful things to such an adorable and well-behaved baby!
Your parents will abandon you...
Are these really things a nine-year-old child should say?
In the original book, the main villain and the male protagonist should be complete strangers at this point in time. Why is Yin Qi so hostile towards Yu Yu?
Xu Zhaozhao frowned, feeling something was off.
After racking my brains, I could only come up with one possibility: this is the rule of the original book, the male and female protagonists have a halo, and the male protagonist has a natural hostility towards the main villain.
It's better to keep Yu Yu away from him in the future.
"Go to sleep, baby."
Xu Zhaozhao raised her hand and turned off the cartoon, "I'll wake up and forget all those nonsense stories."
Gu Yulin nodded and lay down with Xu Zhaozhao.
He also followed Xu Zhaozhao's habit; although he was not afraid of the dark, he would leave a small nightlight by his bedside when he slept at night.
The bed was warm and cozy, and holding Gu Yulin in her arms made Xu Zhaozhao feel secure.
Having drunk alcohol yesterday, Xu Zhaozhao was already in poor spirits, and after lying down for a short while today, she fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Yulin, nestled in her arms, was restless. He tiptoed out of the room, unnoticed by Xu Zhaozhao, who was fast asleep.
He quietly closed the door, stepped into the elevator, and as it descended, the digital display showed "-1".
Gu Yulin walked out; this was the basement.
Apart from the nanny who routinely cleans the place, almost no one comes back here.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the smell of smoke filling the room made me frown.
The basement was dark, and Gu Yulin could only make out the scene in front of him by the dim light coming from the elevator.
On the single tatami mat, Gu Qingyan leaned against it, his slender fingers still holding a burning cigarette, which scalded the dark environment, creating a scarlet hole.
Gu Yulin noticed Gu Qingyan's gaze fall on him, and he slowly said, "I know you didn't leave."
"go out."
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken in a long time, Gu Qingyan's voice was a little hoarse and sounded quite fierce.
Realizing his tone was a bit harsh, his Adam's apple bobbed.
He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and added somewhat awkwardly, "Go outside, kid, don't breathe in secondhand smoke."
Gu Yulin didn't move, but walked to the main lighting control and turned on the soft light.
It's bright enough for the basement, but not so bright as to be blinding.
But Gu Qingyan still frowned because of the lights that came on.
Gu Yulin saw him for who he truly was.
The contrast between the identical Lena Belle pajamas he was wearing and the nearly full ashtray in front of him was striking.
The difference is that he has already changed into a new one, but Gu Qingyan is still reluctant to take it off.
Inevitably, Gu Qingyan was jealous of his son once again.
Gu Yulin locked herself inside the door and rushed back anxiously, still wearing her hotel slippers.
What if it were me?
She probably wishes she could disappear from her world forever...
"I don't want you to get divorced."
Gu Yulin got straight to the point, stating the purpose of his visit.
These words successfully pulled Gu Qingyan out of his own chaotic emotions, and he frowned as he looked at him.
How did Yu Yu know about this?
Xu Zhaozhao loves him so much, she definitely wouldn't tell him on her own initiative.
“After your divorce, my custody will go to the Gu family.”
His tone was unbecoming of his age, "You know, Grandpa doesn't like Mom. What if he gets upset and won't let me see Mom..."
Although he is the heir, he is only an heir.
Now, whether it's Gu Qingyan or Gu Ru, he can't change their minds.
His insistence on appearing on variety shows with Xu Zhaozhao had already made Gu Ru unhappy.
Gu Qingyan's brows furrowed even deeper.
"How did you know that you have custody of the Gu family?"
A look of confusion appeared in both the father's and son's eyes.
Gu Yulin's lips twitched. "It's in the agreement. Did you even read the agreement properly?"
When Gu Yulin went into the study to pick up the broken pieces, he also saw the agreement that Xu Zhaozhao had put in the safe.
The password is too simple; it can't be any more complex.
Upon seeing this sentence, Gu Yulin slammed the safe shut.
The basement fell silent.
Gu Qingyan lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Thank you for the invitation.
He hadn't seen the agreement.
To be precise, Gu Qingyan only knew that the agreement existed, but he had never seen the specific content of it.
The agreement was signed by that person in the Gu family's old house, wasn't it?
He stood up and walked closer to Gu Yulin, whose body reeked of cigarette smoke.
That stinky man, he stinks way more than my mother.
Gu Yulin silently complained in his heart, but stood still without moving.
"My mother and I will not get a divorce."
Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, but ultimately placed his hand on the boy's head and rubbed it.
"Go back to sleep, I'm going out for a bit."
Go out the door from the basement and you'll find yourself in the underground parking lot.
The touch on his head was fleeting. Gu Yulin looked up at him, but his eyelashes cast shadows that made it difficult for him to see clearly.
You'd better keep your word.
He turned around, pressed the elevator button, and automatically ran back to the first floor where the elevator was descending.
bite.
The elevator has arrived.
Gu Yulin stepped into the elevator, turned around, and stared at Gu Qingyan with eyes that were very similar to Xu Zhaozhao's.
"You've been absent for four years."
He lowered his eyes. "As long as you can convince Mom not to get a divorce... I'll try to accept you."
Even when he was most deprived of love, he never thought of going to Gu Qingyan.
He left very little impression on his life.
The elevator doors closed, cutting off their eye contact, and the elevator slowly ascended.
Gu Qingyan stood there for a while, then suddenly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
He opened the basement door, casually grabbed a car key, drove out of the villa, and headed towards the Gu family's old house.
The bodyguards on night duty were shocked to see the young master wearing the pink pajamas of Lina Belle.
I dare not stop them at all.
Gu Qingyan, still wearing his pink pajamas, walked to Gu Ru's study.
