Soon, the parent-teacher meeting notification letter was distributed.
However, Baby Chu crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the rubbish bin.
Anyway, his uncle would not come. He had made it clear that day, he would not come because he found it troublesome and boring!
This was nothing more than a piece of scrap paper! Hence, he did not think about this matter any further!
For the past few days, the little fellow had been in low spirits. Naturally, Butler Fu did not tell him about this and planned to give him a surprise!
On the day of the parent-teacher meeting, Butler Fu went to wake Baby Chu up. The boy sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He saw Butler Fu holding a brand new set of kindergarten uniform in front of him. He smiled and said, “Young Master, today is the day of the parent-teacher meeting! Change your clothes and quickly get up to wash your face and brush your teeth!”
It would have been better if he had not mentioned it, but now that he had, Baby Chu’s fair and tender little face instantly wrinkled up. He pouted resentfully, and a storm started brewing in his eyes!
When Butler Fu saw this, he hurriedly sat by the window and looked at the boy in confusion. “My little darling, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, don’t cry!”
“Who cares about the parent-teacher meeting?!”
Baby Chu’s childish voice was full of bitterness. “Uncle isn’t going! He’s a big baddie. I’ve begged him so pitifully, but he doesn’t give me any face at all! I invited him to my parent-teacher meeting, but he looked unhappy. If he doesn’t go, what’s the point of the parent-teacher meeting?”
As he said this, he rubbed his eyes, feeling greatly aggrieved. His eyes turned bloodshot at once.
Butler Fu was heartbroken and coaxed him, “Oh! Don’t cry, don’t cry! Who says that the Old Master isn’t going? Be good, don’t cry anymore! Don’t worry, Old Master will definitely accompany Young Master to the parent-teacher meeting! Don’t worry!”
“You’re lying!” Baby Chu lamented, “Uncle won’t go!”
“Says who?”
“Uncle said it himself! He made it very clear that day! He won’t go because the parent-teacher meeting is boring. He won’t go…”
Butler Fu immediately carried the boy in his arms and rocked him back and forth. “Nonsense! Old Master is clearly going to the meeting. He has already woken up and gone downstairs to have breakfast in the dining room!”
“Really?” Baby Chu widened his eyes in great surprise. They were still damp with tears!
He swiftly put on his clothes. With his tie still undone, and his coat crooked, he dashed downstairs anxiously and stumbled into the dining room. He saw Gu Jinglian sitting in there, casually flipping through the newspaper while eating a sandwich.
Hearing the footsteps, the man said without looking up, “You’re up?”
Baby Chu’s lips suddenly trembled violently. He was full of emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes. He felt inexplicably touched, and he threw himself at the man, hugging his thigh tightly.
“Uncle! I knew you wouldn’t abandon me!”
The corners of Gu Jinglian’s lips twitched and he frowned. “What do you mean by abandoning you?”
“Butler Fu said that you’ve agreed to attend the parent-teacher meeting. Is that true?”
Gu Jinglian let out a cold snort as a confirmation. However, when he saw the little boy in his arms looking like he was on the verge of being moved to tears, his face stiffened.
“Uncle! You’re the best!”
“…”
Wasn’t this little guy’s standard of “best” a little low?
