Chapter 14
Don’t Hit People
Old Master Gu took Yunbao to his study. There was an entire wall of books inside. Yunbao saw familiar words in the dazzling books.
“Music.”
“What did Yunbao say?” Old Master Gu did not react.
Yunbao used her small hand to point at a book on the shelf. One of the words happened to be “music.”
“You can read?” He was surprised.
“Mommy taught me. Mommy said she loved this.”
When Old Master Gu thought about how Gu Teng really liked music when she was alive and was proficient in all kinds of instruments, his eyes could not help but turn red. He wondered if he should send Yunbao to learn music.
“Old Master, the Old Madam is back.” A maid came over and disturbed the grandfather and granddaughter pair.
“Let’s go. Grandpa will bring you to see Grandma!” Old Master Gu held Yunbao’s hand and returned to the hall.
Back then, Old Madam Gu doted on her youngest daughter the most. Later on, Gu Teng disappeared and Old Madam Gu fell sick. In order not to be reminded of the past, she insisted on moving to the sanatorium. Now, her daughter could not come back, but she had a granddaughter and wanted to come back to visit.
The moment the elevator opened, Old Madam Gu, who was sitting in the wheelchair talking to her sons, suddenly paused. She looked at the child held by Old Master Gu in a daze.
That child looked just like her Ah Teng. Old Madam Gu’s tears instantly flowed. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.
“Hello, Grandma.” Yunbao was sent to Old Madam Gu. “I’m Gu Yun.”
“Good, good, good. Gu Yun is really a good name.” Old Madam Gu caressed Yunbao’s forehead.
“Mommy named me. She called me Yunbao and told me ‘Yun’ meant musical rhythm. I have to remember it.”
Yunbao looked at the old woman who was crying in front of her. She reached out her small hand and gently wiped away her tears. She knew that her grandmother was her Mommy’s mommy, so she had to take care of her. Mommy would not want to see her own mommy cry.
This action touched Old Madam Gu’s heart. She hugged Yunbao and said, “Good child.”
Yunbao also patted Old Madam Gu to comfort her.
This series of actions was seen by Gu Zi on the second floor. She did not understand why even her grandmother, who she did not see often, liked this new person so much. It was just as her mother had said, this new sister would take away her love!
She jogged down and squeezed into Old Madam Gu’s arms. She almost squeezed Yunbao until she fell. Fortunately, Gu Lin caught her quickly.
He had always had a headache over his spoiled daughter.
That year, when he found out that he had been drugged, he gradually distanced himself from Ye Yan. He originally wanted to divorce her, but he did not expect her to be pregnant. The divorce could only be delayed.
He was busy with work and looking for his sister. The child grew up under Ye Yan’s education. When he wanted to correct the child again, Gu Zi was already very arrogant.
“Gu Zi! You’re pressing on Grandma’s leg!” Gu Lin shouted.
Old Madam Gu had carried Gu Yun on her lap herself, so she naturally found a relatively comfortable position. However, Gu Zi had squeezed her way up by herself. She happened to press against Old Madam Gu’s injured leg. However, because she had not seen her granddaughter for a long time, Old Madam Gu did not say anything and only silently endured it.
However, Gu Zi did not know that she felt that her father was biased. She pouted again. “The newcomer can sit on Grandma’s lap. Why can’t I?! Daddy, you’re biased towards her!”
Gu Zi started crying on Old Madam Gu’s lap, the noise making Old Madam Gu feel a little uncomfortable.
Gu Lin couldn’t take it anymore. He picked Gu Zi up and was about to go upstairs. This daughter was really spoiled.
Looking at Gu Lin holding Gu Zi, Yunbao thought of the slap earlier. She hugged Gu Lin’s thigh and said, “Eldest Uncle, no!”
She recalled the scene of her father hitting her previously. She thought that Gu Lin wanted to hit Gu Zi too, so she hurriedly stopped him.
“Eldest Uncle, don’t hit Sister!”
Everyone was stunned by her words.
“I don’t want the sympathy of a newcomer like you!” Gu Zi was still clamoring, but her aura was much weaker than before. Why did the newcomer speak up for her? Gu Zi could not understand.
“I wasn’t going to hit her.” Gu Lin roughly understood that it was probably because he reminded Yunbao of the past when he hit Gu Zi in the afternoon. “Eldest Uncle just wanted her to understand that she was wrong.”
Gu Lin turned around and looked at Gu Zi at eye level. “Daddy wants to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have hit you in the afternoon. I’ve already reflected.”
His tone was gentle like never before. “But you have to look at Grandma’s leg, it’s injured, right? You have to think about it.”
Gu Zi was stunned for a moment and forgot to cry. She just nodded in a daze and looked at her father in disbelief.
