Baby Chu took this “challenge” as a means to get back at little fatty.
At the same time, he had a small desire in his heart. He hoped that Chu He and Gu Jinglian could attend the parent-teacher meeting together like other loving parents.
However, he also vaguely understood that this request seemed to be somewhat a tall order!
Hearing all these, Chu He felt a little guilty.
The grudges between her and Gu Jinglian was a matter between adults and now it had affected the child. However, she did not expect such a far-reaching impact. It was even more unexpected that Baby Chu had such a wish.
She asked, “Is Uncle willing to go?”
Baby Chu said bitterly, “He seems… unwilling…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChu He was stunned but didn’t say anything.
If Gu Jinglian were willing to agree to attend the parent-teacher meeting, it was just a short event for the day and even if she were unwilling, she would play the role of “Mrs. Gu” for Baby Chu’s sake.
However, since Gu Jinglian was unwilling, she could not force him.
At night, Gu Jinglian was reading in the study room. Butler Fu walked into the study room and helped him put away the ink, paper, and inkstone.
“Is that little fellow asleep?”
Butler Fu nodded and said, “He cried for a while and has fallen asleep in Red Lotus’ company.”
“Cried?” Gu Jinglian looked up with a puzzled expression. “What’s going on now?”
“It’s because of the parent-teacher meeting.”
“…” Gu Jinglian was stumped. “It’s just a parent-teacher meeting. Why does he care so much?”
Butler Fu cleared his throat and coughed. “According to the little guy, he made a bet with a boy in his class.”
“A bet?”
“Mmm! Baby Chu said that the other kid wants to compare whose father is more handsome.”
Gu Jinglian was dumbstruck. So that was the reason? He was speechless.
“Old Master, why not, just oblige the little fellow and take the time out to go to the parent-teacher meeting?”
Gu Jinglian said in a quiet voice, “You know that I can’t make a public appearance easily.”
Hearing this, Butler Fu felt troubled.
Indeed.
With Old Master’s status, he could not easily appear in public.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhenever he went out, he had to have a troop of bodyguards with him. It was not for pomp, but for the reason of his identity. Any public appearance would put him at risk of being assassinated by other organizations.
The Gu family had a reputation and prestige in the capital. Although they had cleaned up some of their businesses over the years, they were still the most prosperous family in the underworld.
A tall tree attracts the wind, it is lonely at the top.
Every trip he made in public was accompanied by the danger of being assassinated.
As a result, Gu Jinglian had a huge entourage when he went out. He was often accompanied by more than ten bodyguards. It would be inappropriate if he appeared in such a grand manner on campus.
“But the little fellow cried for a long time. He seemed very sad. Even I felt sad when I saw him.” Butler Fu muttered, “It’s only a matter of a day. I can arrange for undercover men to protect Old Master. Moreover, if Honghe is by your side, you can pretend to be husband and wife with her. If something should happen, she will have the capability to protect you.”
“I’m not worried about myself.” Gu Jinglian put down the book and said flatly, “I’m just worried about the child getting hurt.”
“Don’t worry about that! I’ll send someone to clear the area in advance. They will patrol the area within a few miles of the school.”
“Alright.” Gu Jinglian said expressionlessly, “Go ahead and make arrangements then.”
Butler Fu was overjoyed to hear this, and exclaimed, “Old Master, you do agree to it then?”
“Do I have a choice?” Gu Jinglian said with a stone face, “I can’t possibly embarrass my own son.”
