Chapter 114: The Teacher Has Returned

Qin Shu had been keeping watch in Chenchen's hospital room, waiting for him to wake up; the first thing the little one saw when he opened his eyes was Qin Shu slumped by the bedside.

"Mommy." His voice was hoarse.

Seeing the child awake, Qin Shu hurriedly stood up: "Does anything hurt?"

Gu Yichen shook his head; it was Chu Sheng who had saved him in time, so nothing had happened to him, he had just been frightened.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and before the mother and son could say much more, Lin Jingshu and Gu Huaiyuan walked in.

Gu Huaiyuan's cold, heavy gaze fell upon Qin Shu, a flash of annoyance crossing his eyes, but when he looked at Chenchen on the hospital bed, his expression instantly turned kind and amiable.

"Chenchen, Grandpa and Grandma have come to take you home."

Gu Yichen subconsciously glanced at Qin Shu, his eyes dimming slightly, and he nodded.

From beginning to end, they did not hold Qin Shu in their eyes at all.

A bodyguard came over to pick Gu Yichen up from the hospital bed and walked out; once the door was closed, the hospital room fell into silence.

In the empty hospital room, Qin Shu remained standing where she was, not moving.

Qin Shu was no match for the Gu Family, and even less of a match for Gu Tingyan.

Before the massive Gu Family, she was as tiny as an ant, someone who could be easily crushed to death at any moment.

Qin Shu returned to the manor in a daze; Gu Tingyan did not return that night either, only sending Qin Shu a message.

Gu Tingyan: "Not coming back tonight, no need to wait for me."

Qin Shu wished he wouldn't come back.

The next day.

It was Qin Shu's birthday, which she spent by herself; after getting off work and returning home, she rejected Su Tuantuan's suggestion to throw a big celebration.

She found that the older she grew, the less she liked celebrating her birthday.

Previous years had always been lively, but this year, she wanted to spend it alone and have some quiet.

Because Chu Sheng was injured while saving Gu Yichen, the Gu Family gave the Chu Family quite a lot of compensation.

Chu Xuanming saw off Gu Tingyan and Gu Huaiyuan, looking at the two contracts placed on the table; these were both major projects worth hundreds of millions.

Chu Xuanming looked at Chu Sheng with full joy and smiled: "As expected of the little lucky star of our Chu Family."

"Back then, your mother and I went to a temple to have a fortune told, and it said our Chu Family had produced a little lucky star."

"Sure enough, the moment you were born, everything went smoothly for me."

Chu Xuanming originally didn't believe in these things, but it was true that after Chu Sheng was born, he was too successful, climbing all the way from the bottom to his current position.

This was also the reason why, between the two sisters Chu Yu and Chu Sheng, he cherished Chu Sheng so much.

Hearing Chu Xuanming's words, Chu Sheng's eyes trembled slightly, and she smiled: "Being able to share my father's burdens is my duty."

She gave Jiang Chenxue a look without moving a muscle; Jiang Chenxue received it and hurriedly smiled at Chu Xuanming: "Father of the children, look, Sheng is already this old, and you have seen her capabilities with your own eyes."

"Can you let her work in the group?"

Chu Xuanming had no sons, only these two daughters, so the future heir to the company would only be Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng had always firmly believed this as well.

But ever since that man appeared, all of this had become less certain.

Furthermore, besides Chu Yu, Qin Shu was also her father's child.

Only Chu Sheng and Jiang Chenxue knew about this; she had overheard her mother's conversation when she was a child and only then found out.

The reason Chu Xuanming hated Qin Shu and her mother so much was because he thought Qin Shu was not his biological daughter.

When love turns to hate, that hatred is very intense.

For a man to hate a woman for so many years, it can only be said that he still hasn't let go, that he cannot get past it in his heart, and that the betrayal suffered at the depths of love will be a pain in a man's heart that never fades for a lifetime.

If there is no love, there is no hate.

Qin Zhiyun had been dead for so many years, yet every time Chu Xuanming saw Qin Shu, his expression upon returning was extremely ugly.

And the man caught in bed with Qin Zhiyun back then was Chu Sheng's biological father.

After that man was released from prison and sought out the Chu Family for the first time, Chu Xuanming's face turned livid, and he rushed over to give the man a fierce beating.

"Chu Xuanming, I went to jail to take the fall for you back then; you can't just ignore me, right?" The man sat on the sofa without ceremony the moment he entered.

Chu Xuanming's expression became terrifying; after hitting the man, he had his bodyguards throw him out directly.

Chu Sheng was standing in the corner at the time, and she knew that if Chu Xuanming found out Qin Shu was his biological daughter...

And that Qin Zhiyun had not betrayed him back then, it would be a massive bombshell.

She would not allow anyone to take away what belonged to her.

Chu Xuanming looked at Chu Sheng and nodded with a smile: "Alright."

Jiang Chenxue struck while the iron was hot and smiled: "Then shouldn't the will be made out to Sheng?"

"Xiao Yu is still so young, and she's a doctor; she certainly wouldn't know how to manage the group."

Sitting to the side, Chu Yu heard this and felt very bitter; she had always known her mother was biased and that she was not as outstanding as her older sister.

But hearing it with her own ears, it still hurt.

Chu Xuanming looked at Chu Yu: "Your sister is indeed more outstanding than you; she will manage the company in the future and give you dividends."

Chu Sheng gave Chu Yu a look that was neither light nor heavy.

Intimidated by that gaze, Chu Yu said with some trepidation: "I understand, Dad."

Her university major had been chosen for her by Jiang Chenxue; her path had been paved from the moment she was born: to assist her sister and manage the Chu Group well.

The Chu Family's most profitable enterprise was its pharmaceutical company, and the hospitals under its banner were the main sources of profit every year.

Chu Sheng studied business management, while she studied medicine; Chu Xuanming had never intended for her to inherit the group from the start.

Chu Yu was used to it, but her heart still ached.

Chu Xuanming immediately drew up a will: in the future, Chu Sheng would be the sole heir to the group, and Chu Yu would receive dividends, with the sisters having clear divisions of labor.

Only after the will was notarized did Chu Sheng's heart finally settle completely.

During this period, if Chu Xuanming were to die, she would be the first-in-line heir, with a net worth of over ten billion!

After signing the contract, Chu Sheng resigned from Gu Tingyan's company, switched careers from the entertainment industry, and returned to the group to learn management by the side of the company's vice president.

The impact of the entertainment industry was too great for her; in that drama, Qin Shu's reputation far surpassed hers, and she was indeed unsuited for acting—had it not been for the sake of getting close to Gu Tingyan, she would not have been so desperate as to seek medical help from any doctor she could find.

Once she inherited the group, her strength would directly crush Qin Shu.

Over these past half a month, Qin Shu had also been very busy, taking on quite a few advertisements and offline events after becoming popular.

On this day, after she finished the work at hand, she received a message from Ji Yanli.

"The teacher has returned and wants to see you."

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shu paused slightly, and after finishing her work, she quickly drove to the hotel.

As soon as she entered the private room, she saw the little old man sitting in the seat of honor with a stern face; Qin Shu walked in with some hesitation and called out respectfully in a low voice: "Teacher."

The old man sitting in the seat of honor had graying hair, but his spirit was very vigorous, and his sharp eyes were very stern and cold, invisibly giving off a powerful sense of oppression.
