Chapter 153: Why Should He Go Back? Chapter 153: Why Should He Go Back? Early morning.
Ye Zixi opened his eyes and saw Gu Shimo sitting on the edge of his bed. His eyes immediately lit up.
She held his hand excitedly.” Uncle, why are you back? You weren’t back when I was sleeping last night.””
Gu Shimo raised his other hand and stroked Ye Zixi’s head lovingly.
She smiled and said,” I was still on the plane when you were sleeping last night.”
“Uncle, Mom applied for two days off so that I don’t have to go to school.”
Actually, Ye Zixi liked Gu Shimo the most.
She liked him more than Gu Ziyang, Yang Feng, and Lu Mingyu.
He had an inexplicable sense of admiration for Gu Shimo.
When she spoke to him, her eyes sparkled.” Uncle, you’re back. Can you send me to school now?”
“You want to go to school?”
“Yes.”
“But Mommy applied for leave for you. Can’t you play at home for two days?”
Gu Shimo asked with a smile.
Ye Zixi shook her head and pouted.” No, I like school.””
“Alright then. After breakfast, I’ll send you to school.”
Gu Shimo was very proud of Zixi’s love for learning.
When Ye Zixi heard that she could go to school today, she jumped up in joy.
She jumped and shouted,”Yeah, yeah, that’s great. I can go to school.””
Gu Shimo looked at his happy expression and the smile on his face deepened.
His phone rang. His eyes flickered when he saw the caller ID.
She placed Ye Zixi’s clothes in front of him and said gently,” Zixi, put on your clothes first. Mom is waiting for you downstairs for breakfast.””
Ye Zixi responded.
He picked up his clothes and put them on.
He got up and walked to the window to answer the call.
His deep voice overflowed his thin lips.” Hello, Dad.”
“Shi Mo, you’re on a business trip and haven’t returned to South City?”
Xiaoquan Gu’s voice was heard.
Gu Shimo replied with an “okay”. Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xiaoquan said on the other end of the phone,”Shi Mo, I just saw the post on the Internet. The child Bai Shanshan miscarried back then wasn’t yours. What’s going on? This matter was even published on Wanwan’s public account?””
The schools were all in the mountains.
The signal there wasn’t good, so he rarely went online.
She had been busy for the past two days, so she did not see the trending searches on the Internet immediately.
It was only this morning when he woke up that he saw a repost from a good friend on his WeChat Moments.
After clicking on the article, he went to Weibo to look at the trending searches.
Then, she called him.
“Dad, it’s exactly as you saw. Bai Shanshan got together with Liu Yunzhi five years ago. She had a miscarriage back then because the child was Liu Yunzhi’s…I will hold a press conference this afternoon.”
“You’ve returned to South City?”
“Yes, I came back this morning.”
“Alright, then I’ll go back today.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, didn’t your mother call you about Bai Shanshan?”
Although Gu Xiaoquan knew that Ye Qingwan had yet to tell Gu Shimo about his background, he still had to tell Ye Qingwan the secret.
Then, she mentioned Zhao Qinlan in front of Gu Shimo.
It was a little difficult to say.
She heard the hesitation in his words.
Gu Shimo did not think too much about it.
She only said,” No, I just came back this morning. I was on a business trip two days ago. My mother should know.”
“Shi Mo, let’s talk when I get back.”
On the other end of the phone, Xiaoquan Gu was silent for a long time before he spoke again. His voice carried a hint of complicated emotions.
——
At the Gu residence.
Gu Ziyang knew that Gu Shimo was coming back today.
Zhao Qinlan heard it from Gu Ziyang.
She had asked Gu Ziyang about it when the Gu Corporation had released their statement yesterday.
At the breakfast table, she asked again,” Ziyang, what time is your brother’s flight to Southern City today?”
“I’m not sure either. I’ll ask Gu Feng or Zuo Zhi later.”
Gu Ziyang looked up at Zhao Qinlan and lowered his eyes.
” Mom, when are you going to let Mu Wei go back to the Joneses?””
“Why should we let him go back? He’s doing quite well in our family.”
At the mention of Mu Wei, Zhao Qinlan’s eyes flickered.
