But in the past, she didn't ask because she didn't have any close relationship with gu mohan and little treasure. As an outsider, it wasn't appropriate to ask these questions, but now that her relationship with gu mohan has been clarified, there should be some doubts about little treasure.
Little treasure was already tired from what happened just now, and he unconsciously curled up on the sofa, drowsy. Ye zhi coincidentally touched her head, and then asked gu mohan in a low voice, "Little treasure's background... I mean, you didn't bring her home before she was five years old. Why on earth?"
"Why did you ask that all of a sudden?" Gu mohan asked without answering.
"I'm just curious. Your parents have a strange attitude towards little treasure, and I think I should know everything about little treasure by now."
Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan with good eyes, because she did not feel that there was anything difficult to say about this, and gu mohan had no reason not to tell her.
But gu Mohan said vaguely, "There's nothing special about her. She's like all children."
Then he stood up and looked at little treasure and said to ye zhiqiao, "Let's go home. Little treasure is sleepy. You should be tired too."
He didn't want to explain to ye zhiqiao about little treasure's life. First, it was because Qin Baiye and jian mengqi were present. Five years ago was a big black dragon. It was inconvenient to say it. Second, it was because ye zhiqiao. He was not sure if ye zhiqiao really didn't remember what happened five years ago. If she didn't remember, would it have been too much of a shock for her if he had said it out of the blue?
Third, it was little treasure. Although little treasure liked ye zhiqiao, he suddenly knew that ye zhiqiao was her mother, that she had left her for five years without saying a word, and that she had never seen her mother when she was sick and suffering. Would she misunderstand ye zhiqiao, and that there would be a rift between the two of them?
These were questions that he had been thinking about for a long time but still could not answer, so facing ye zhiqiao's question, he couldn't give a complete explanation.
However, gu mohan's deliberate avoidance in ye zhiqiao's eyes, there is a hidden meaning, little treasure naturally won't have a secret that can't be for outsiders, so what makes gu mohan difficult, perhaps is little treasure's mother?
Ye zhiqiao shook her head and motioned for gu mohan to sit down first. Then she said, "If you don't want to tell me about little treasure, then her mother..."
With just one sentence, gu mohan knew that she had misunderstood. In order not to let her continue to fantasize, she had to find an excuse temporarily.
"Actually... Little treasure was born to a surrogate mother, which is why she was never recognized by my parents. You should stop thinking about this."
"Surrogate mother?!"
As soon as the word came out, not only was ye zhiqiao speechless with shock, but even jian mengqi and Qin Baiye, who had been trying to reduce their sense of existence, unconsciously opened their mouths and stared at gu mohan in a daze.
Seeing that ye zhiqiao was more confused than before, gu mohan could not help but regret that he had just blurted out something that had not been carefully thought out. But now, he had to continue to think of ways to make things right.
He bent his middle finger against his nose and took advantage of this time to spin the story as smoothly as possible.
The reason I'm looking for a surrogate mother is because my parents are always urging me to get married. At that time, my career was on the rise, and I was so busy every day that I didn't have time to meet girls and fall in love. Of course, my parents have no intention of letting me fall in love freely. They've already found me all kinds of rich second-generation girls. As long as I agree, it's okay whether it's a meaningless relationship or getting married directly."
Half true and half false, gu mohan took a sip of his coffee and could not help but laugh at himself, "There are only two reasons why they want me to get married. One is a business marriage, which brings real benefits to the gu family, and the other is to give the gu family a legacy. I can't fulfill the first wish, but the second... Can."
"So..." Ye zhiqiaowei frowned and asked hesitantly, "Are you looking for a surrogate?"
Gu mohan nodded.
"...
He admitted so generously that he didn't seem to take such a shocking story seriously. Ye zhiqiao didn't know what to say for a moment.
From the bottom of her heart, she was angry at gu mohan's actions.
Not to mention the various disputes about the ethics of surrogacy, gu mohan himself was really selfish. It was selfish and irresponsible to little treasure, the surrogate mother, and the father and mother.
Didn't he think about it before he did it? Since little treasure was born without a mother, she may not be recognized by her family, and may be despised by the outside world. This kind of unchangeable background may affect her life.
Although father and mother gu were strong and unreasonable, as parents, no one would want their son to have a child with an unknown woman.
And...
Ye zhi skillfully used the afterglow to secretly look at gu mohan's side face, and her heart was not feeling good.
He had a child with a woman he didn't know and didn't have any emotional foundation. Wouldn't he have a moment of... Disgust?
Suddenly, her mind was in a mess. Ye zhiqiao was just about to suggest that she go out alone to relax. On the second floor of the coffee shop, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.
In fact, she did not know the uninvited guest, but the man came straight in the direction of the few people as soon as he went upstairs with a familiar smile on his face, while gu Mohan, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye had an elusive expression on their faces. In a moment, she understood that the identity of the person was not simple.
Shen Qingyuan greeted a few people, then looked at the sofa where gu Mohan, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were sitting. She turned to jian mengqi and Qin Baiye on the other side and said, "Miss jian, Mr. Qin, may I have the honor of having a cup of coffee with you?"
The two of them looked at gu mohan together. Seeing that the latter looked calm, they nodded in agreement and made way for him.
Except for little treasure, who was half asleep and half awake, the other five sat opposite each other. Four of them looked at the outsider as if they were waiting for him to reveal his intentions.
Shen Qingyuan laughed twice and jokingly said, "Don't be so defensive against me! This time, shen has taken the liberty to come here, and there is indeed some important news to be revealed to everyone."
Shen mou?
Ye zhiqiao tried to search in her mind if she had ever seen this person.
