Chapter 92: Dad, Grandma Made Me Call Him Brother

~7 min read 1,385 words

Gu Yichen had received word from Gu Tingyan last night that his mother would take him to celebrate his birthday today.

He got up early, washed his hair, changed into brand-new clothes, and went downstairs; in the living room, both Chu Chen and Lin Jingshu had arrived.

Seeing Chu Chen, Gu Yichen frowned tightly; when he saw Chu Chen run over wildly and knock over the Lego set he had built, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Seeing Gu Yichen, Chu Chen did not forget that Gu Tingyan had held him back then; he walked over, shoved Gu Yichen hard, and said angrily, "Grandma, why is he here!"

"I don't like him, make him leave."

Gu Yichen was pushed back several steps, nearly falling to the ground; he steadied himself, his cold little face looking toward Lin Jingshu with a probing gaze.

Lin Jingshu beckoned him over and smiled, "He will be your brother from now on; Chenchen must get along well with his brother."

Gu Yichen was stunned: "My mother only gave birth to me."

"I don't have a brother."

He looked up at Lin Jingshu: "Grandma, did Dad cheat?"

Lin Jingshu paused and explained with a smile, "What are you saying?"

"He is the child of a relative; you must call him brother."

Gu Yichen's lips were pressed tightly together: "I don't want to."

This was his first time rebelling against Lin Jingshu.

Gu Yichen had been raised by Lin Jingshu since he was small; she had brought him up single-handedly, so naturally, she loved him a bit more than Chu Chen.

"It's fine, if you don't want to call him that, then don't."

Gu Yichen looked at all his things in the living room that had been destroyed, and he turned silently to walk outside.

Gu Tingyan had gauze on his temple; he stood at the doorway, tall and upright, not knowing how long he had been there or how long he had been watching.

The man leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and smoked while watching the person running wild and destroying his son's work in the living room.

He strode over, picked up Chu Chen like he was picking up a chick, walked toward the courtyard, and threw the person directly out.

Upon seeing Gu Tingyan's face, Chu Chen was already scared to the point of wetting himself.

Chu Chen was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground; Lin Jingshu hurried over to help him up and scolded Gu Tingyan angrily: "Are you crazy! He is—"

Her gaze landed on Gu Yichen, and she swallowed the second half of her sentence.

Gu Tingyan's handsome face was clouded with gloom: "Don't come here to disgust my son."

Gu Tingyan gave a sarcastic smile: "Raising Chenchen together with him, you truly have a ruthless heart."

Lin Jingshu's face turned pale; she felt guilty, as she had indeed done wrong in this matter.

Gu Tingyan looked down at them, his gaze cold and hard as iron, carrying an undisguised sense of oppression that instantly froze the surrounding air: "If I see him here again, I will definitely kill him."

Gu Tingyan bent down and picked up Gu Yichen; he lifted his foot to walk out, then suddenly paused, looking back at Lin Jingshu: "Mom, if one day Dad had an illegitimate child outside—"

"Would you also bring the person back to the Old Residence and treat them like your own son?"

Lin Jingshu's expression stiffened; she knew Gu Tingyan resented her because of this.

Lin Jingshu said calmly: "Your father would not do such a thing."

Her face wore an air of impartiality: "If it really happened, I would of course bring his child back."

She looked at Gu Tingyan, her words carrying a double meaning: "After all, it is the seed of the Gu Family."

Hearing this, Gu Tingyan's lips curled into intense sarcasm: "Heh..."

He looked at Lin Jingshu and said word for word: "Since that is the case, I will no longer concern myself with your affairs in the future."

Gu Tingyan mocked: "I hope you will always maintain the poise and magnanimity of the Matriarch of the Gu Family."

Chu Chen sat on the ground, filled with fear of Gu Tingyan; his little face was pale, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes stared at Gu Yichen with cold, venomous hatred.

They were both Dad's children, so why was it that he could receive all of Dad's attention and love?

While he had to be thrown on the ground like trash, and Gu Tingyan wouldn't even spare him a glance.

Gu Tingyan carried Gu Yichen out the door and patted the little guy's back: "Don't tell your mother about what happened today."

Gu Yichen lowered his eyes, his eyes slightly red: "Dad, Grandma made me call him brother."

He stared intensely at Gu Tingyan: "Is he a child you had with someone else?"

Gu Tingyan's arm holding him tightened, and he stroked his head: "Remember, Dad will always only have you as his child."

Gu Yichen's eyelashes trembled; he had possessed extraordinary talent and intelligence since he was very small, learning everything quickly and being much smarter than his peers.

Gu Tingyan drove to pick up Qin Shu; Qin Shu wore light makeup, jeans paired with a white shirt, the shirt tucked into her waistband to reveal her exquisite figure; she wore her hair in a bun, looking casual, beautiful, and pure.

Her youthful and beautiful appearance was like a vibrant college student.

Gu Tingyan stared at such a youthful and vibrant Qin Shu, his gaze unable to look away for a long time.

He pulled the car over to the side of the road; Qin Shu opened the car door, and as soon as she got in, she hugged Chenchen and nuzzled him: "Baby, Mommy missed you to death."

Gu Yichen was held tightly in his mother's arms, his lips curling up slightly; he stretched out his little hands to hug Qin Shu tightly as well, leaning into her embrace: "Mommy, I missed you too."

Qin Shu rubbed his head vigorously and handed him a card, quite grandly: "There are three hundred million in here, feel free to spend it today!"

Hearing such a large amount of money, Gu Yichen blinked his eyes: "Mommy, did you forget that I'm still just a child?"

Qin Shu curled her lips into a smile: "Of course Mommy didn't forget, but you are my son."

"I want to give you the best of everything."

Gu Yichen's eye sockets felt warm; he reached out his little hand to push the card back, hugging Qin Shu's waist tightly and smelling the fragrant scent on her.

"Chenchen doesn't want anything."

"I just want Mommy to stay with me all day today."

His birthday wish was to spend the whole day with his mom and dad.

"Don't worry, Mommy is on vacation today."

Gu Tingyan observed the mother and son in the back seat through the rearview mirror while driving, listening to their conversation.

He felt that Qin Shu had become very different today.

It seemed to have returned to how it was before Chu Sheng came back.

Cheerful in personality, gentle and considerate, with a smile always hanging on her face.

Gu Tingyan wanted to treasure this moment forever.

Gu Tingyan: "Chenchen, Daddy also took the day off today, specifically to accompany you for your fifth birthday."

"We are going to the amusement park today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen happily grasped Qin Shu's hand; he looked up, his dark, bright eyes gazing at Qin Shu, his cool little face wearing a smile.

Qin Shu lowered her eyes to look at the little fellow; no matter how smart he was, he was still just a child after all.

Inside the amusement park, Qin Shu held Gu Yichen's hand while Gu Tingyan went to buy VIP tickets.

Gu Tingyan returned quickly, holding three tickets in his hand; he bent down and scooped Gu Yichen up: "Let's go, today Mommy and Daddy will play with you all day long."

The corners of Gu Yichen's lips turned up slightly; in his father's arms, holding Qin Shu's hand, he had never been this happy and joyful before.

Today, he was the happiest child in this world.
