Song Changwen was so upset that she nearly choked on her breath.
Despite raising her hand to Gu Nianshen’s face, she stopped herself just before it landed and instead used a finger to poke his forehead. “Gu Nianshen, do you know who raised you when you were a child?”
Gu Nianshen frowned innocently. “I was merely worried that the old woman did not have insurance coverage. If she doesn’t, I’ll make the purchase for her. Since she is hot-tempered, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
As he spoke, he rubbed the area on his forehead where Song Changwen had poked with her finger.
Gu Nianshen felt that he had been wrongly accused.
Meanwhile, Song Changwen took in a deep breath before exhaling in a long and slow manner.
She was someone who focused on the bigger picture. If news got out that she had argued with her son in the office over personal affairs, it would reflect poorly on her.
Therefore, after calming herself down, she began to berate Gu Nianshen in a softer tone. “Your grandmother took such great care of you when you were a child. Even if you don’t respect your uncle, you should respect her.”
“I do respect her. It is only because of her that Song Feifei could leave the restaurant on her own.” Gu Nianshen’s facial expression turned cold as he snorted.
In other words, he considered himself as having been far too kind already.
Song Changwen raised her brows as she had no intention of getting worked up. “Were you going to get someone to kick her out otherwise?”
“Yeah,” Gu Nianshen answered, expressionlessly.
Song Changwen felt speechless.
As she held her breath, she paced back and forth in front of the window with her hands on her waist.
This was her way of calming herself down.
Gu Nianshen ignored her as he proceeded to sit at his desk and began to flip through documents on his desk.
“Shen Shen… ” Song Changwen suddenly called out.
Gu Nianshen had already forgotten when she last called him by his pet name. All he knew was that it was a very long time ago.
He suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
Without turning his head around, he mumbled in acknowledgment as he continued to sign on a document with his pen.
“I have a question,” Song Changwen said as she walked over to Gu Nianshen. “Did Grandfather really set the will up?” She asked solemnly.
After asking the question, Song Changwen peered at him, suspiciously.
Gu Nianshen stopped writing and waited for a second before raising his head and looking into Song Changwen’s eyes. “Would you like to hire an expert to verify if the handwriting belonged to Grandfather?”
The corners of his mouth lifted.
He seemed fully confident.
“Your grandfather began grooming you as his successor since you were a child. Moreover, he likes…” Song Changwen peered suspiciously as she began to speak.
“Mother!” Gu Nianshen suddenly interrupted.
It had been a long time since he last addressed her like that.
“What’s the matter?” Song Changwen was stunned by his sudden exclamation. Moreover, she noticed a faint smile on his face.
As Gu Nianshen dropped his pen, he spun around in his chair in a lazy manner. “It’s time for you to hand over your authority. Get ready to spend time with your grandchildren. There’s no way my oldest uncle can take over your role. However, you still have a stepbrother who can, don’t you?” Gu Nianshen blinked as he tilted his head.
Song Changwen instantly felt that all her negative emotions had vanished. “Do you want me to come home?” A smile appeared on her face.
“You can dream on.” Gu Nianshen’s facial expression immediately changed.
After rolling his eyes, he resumed working.
Song Changwen was speechless.
Indeed, Gu Nianshen’s affection would never last for more than three seconds.
Song Changwen frowned disapprovingly at Gu Nianshen before speaking yet again, “Your youngest uncle has already taken over the company. I plan to focus on looking after Xiaxia.”
As Xi Xia was mentioned, Song Changwen’s facial expression was immediately filled with guilt.
