Therefore, no matter how fiercely he glared at him, a certain little fellow did not seem to realize it. He even climbed onto the man and made a face at him, sticking out his tongue!
Gu Jinglian could never resist his amusing expressions.
âUncle, Uncle said that Mommy will come and get me soon, but Iâve been waiting for a long time! Iâm wondering if sheâd still be trying to find me by the time my hair has turned white?â
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows, slightly dissatisfied with this little kid for mentioning that woman again.
Eaten by jealousy, the man snorted and suddenly threw out the challenging evergreen question. âDo you like Mommy or Uncle more?â
âOf course Mom...â Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Jinglian heard the word âMomâ and his face darkened.
Baby Chu noticed that something was wrong with his expression and immediately changed the topic. His eyes darted around quickly before he said with a smile, âOf course itâs Uncle!â
âGood boy.â
The man was satisfied and reached out to gently stroke his hair.
âBut Baby Chu really misses Mommy!â
Baby Chu mumbled, âIs Mommy playing hide-and-seek with me? Sheâs hiding in the corner on purpose and doesnât want to come look for Baby Chu!â
âShe doesnât want you anymore.â Gu Jinglian deliberately scared him.
When Baby Chu heard this, his face was full of disbelief. âThatâs impossible! Mommy wonât abandon me!â
âOh? Are you so sure?â Gu Jinglian seemed to be very keen on sowing discord between the mother and son pair. He snorted coldly. âShe wonât abandon you? Why hasnât she come looking for you after such a long time then?â
âI guess itâs because she hates Uncle!â Baby Chu suddenly said.
Gu Jinglian scowled. âWhat do you mean?â
âIn the past, when Baby Chu saw that all the other children had fathers, he was curious. Why did all of them have fathers but I didnât?â As Baby Chu spoke, he even put on a puzzled expression.
After a pause, he continued, âLater on, Baby Chu asked Mommy, why doesnât Baby Chu have a father?â
Gu Jinglianâs interest was piqued and he asked, âWhat did she say?â
Baby Chu assessed the manâs expression and then blurted out, âMommy said that Daddy died young.â
...
What!
Daddy died young!?
Gu Jinglian felt as if he had been struck by lightning and at once, his expression turned sullen.
âShe said that I died young!?â
â...Yeah, thatâs what she said. She said that the grasses around his gravestone are already taller than me.â
Gu Jinglian clenched his fists in anger.
How dare this woman use such despicable words to fool a child.
He died young?!
Baby Chu did not care at all that his words and actions betrayed his mother. He continued to complain, âThen I asked her how Dad died.â
Gu Jinglian shot him a questioning look and pressed on, âAnd what did your mother say?!â
âMommy said that Daddy was hit by a car when he was out on the streets,â Baby Chu replied.
Gu Jinglian was rendered speechless.
Hit by a car when he was out on the streets?
She could even come up with such nonsense?
He slammed the table. âBullshit!â
Baby Chu was scared out of his wits by the manâs vulgarities. He trembled and looked up to see Gu Jinglianâs normally exquisite and handsome face darken. He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong!
âUncle, donât be angry!â
âHow can I not be angry? Iâm so angry that I want to rip her to shreds...â
