Chapter 15
Biased
Gu Zi had never seen such a gentle father. In the past, her father would only tell her to be obedient and treat her coldly. If she did not attract his attention, he might not even notice her.
Her mother had told her that she had to learn to cry. Only children who loved to cry would have candy to eat. As expected, this method worked. Every time she cried, her father’s attention was on her. Although she often could not understand the emotions in his eyes, her father still cared about her.
However, this newcomer could easily obtain her father’s love. Why? She felt it was unfair!
However, when she really thought that her father was going to hit her, this newcomer came out to stop him. She did not need her concern!
Gu Zi stubbornly turned her head and wanted to run away, but after running for a short distance, she ran back and ran in front of Old Madam Gu. “Grandma, I’m sorry!”
After saying this, the child ran back to her room.
Gu Lin lowered his head silently. No one knew what he was thinking.
Gu Zi ran back to her room with red eyes. When Ye Yan saw her daughter crying, she roughly understood what had happened. “Good Zizi, what’s wrong?”
She gently picked up her daughter. She had always known that Gu Lin did not care so much about the child, so she had to treat her daughter twice as well. If others did not dote on her, she would dote on her.
“Mommy, did Zizi really do something wrong?” The little girl lay in her mother’s arms, looking pitiful.
“How could that be? Zizi didn’t do anything wrong.” Ye Yan gently comforted the girl. “If you want something, you have to fight for it, right?”
Gu Ming saw everything from the side on the second floor. He was already used to Gu Zi’s temperament, but the newcomer was quite interesting.
Yunbao returned to her room. She still couldn’t believe that she now had a room that belonged to her. Even Little Tiger could stay with her. She still had her maternal grandparents and uncles who doted on her. This kind of life was something she didn’t even dare to think about before.
“Little Tiger, Yunbao really has a home!” She fed the peeled nuts to the parrot in the cage. The parrot was probably still adapting to the environment and was a little stressed.
When it was time for dinner, Yunbao took the elevator downstairs. The long table was filled with all kinds of food, dazzling Yunbao.
She had never seen such a scene before. Previously, at the Wang family, they had only prepared cold steamed buns and rotten porridge.
Gu Zi also sat at the dining table with her mother. Yunbao was arranged to sit between Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu.
This was Yunbao’s first dinner after returning home. It could be considered a small family banquet.
At the dining table, everyone was afraid that Yunbao would be shy, so they all picked up food for her. Soon, a tall mountain was stacked on Yunbao’s plate.
“Should we hold a welcome party for Yunbao and tell everyone that Yunbao is our Gu family’s child?” Gu Peng suggested. “I remember that it’s Yunbao’s birthday soon!”
“I think so.” Gu Lin took out a notebook. “Yunbao’s birthday is in ten days!”
“Then let’s set Yunbao’s welcome party on her birthday!”
“Are we celebrating my birthday?” The little girl’s eyes lit up when she heard the word birthday. She had never celebrated her birthday before and could not even remember when her birthday was.
However, she knew that every time Auntie Hong celebrated her birthday, there would be a big cake with sweet cream on it. However, her father would not let her eat it. She could only secretly swipe some cream with her fingers at night when the adults were drunk.
“Are you happy, Yunbao?” Old Master Gu asked. “Do you have any birthday presents you want? Let your uncles prepare them for you!”
Yunbao thought for a while before saying, “Can Yunbao ask for a birthday cake?”
“What about the rest?” Old Madam Gu asked. “Is there anything else Yunbao wants?”
“Yunbao just wants a birthday cake!” The smile on the girl’s face made most of the people present feel sad.
Old Madam Gu’s eyes turned red. She had heard about Yunbao’s life before, but now that she really felt it, she still felt sad.
“Poor child.” Old Madam Gu picked up Yunbao. “We will definitely prepare a big cake for Yunbao!”
Gu Zi, who was sitting at the side, looked at the happy atmosphere at the dining table and did not understand. This newcomer really hasn’t seen the world. Has she never even eaten cake before?
