Whoever dared to bully Baby Chu would have their home razed to the ground by the Gu family’s hired thugs.
Chu He hesitated for a moment as she held Baby Chu in her arms, looking somewhat troubled!
She could not accept Gu Jinglian, much less stay by his side. Moreover, Gu Jinglian would not compromise for the sake of the child.
He was never a man who would sacrifice himself for anyone!
When Baby Chu saw her hesitant and troubled expression, he suddenly looked as though he realized something and added, “If Mommy doesn’t want to, Baby Chu won’t make things difficult for Mommy! If Mommy insists on leaving, Baby Chu will definitely leave with Mommy!”
Chu He was touched by his thoughtfulness. She looked down at him and suddenly hesitated, “Do you really… like that uncle so much?!”
Baby Chu quickly nodded and said, “Uh huh! Baby Chu likes Uncle a lot!”
Chu He hesitated before sighing, “Let me think about it!”
“Mommy, don’t force yourself!”
Baby Chu immediately said, “I’ll discuss it with Butler Fu tonight, then we’ll go home together!”
Chu He frowned absentmindedly and turned to look out the window, deep in thought.
That night, Butler Fu knocked on the door and entered her room. Chu He was massaging the muscles in her legs. As she had been lying down for a long time, the swelling in her legs had not subsided. When she saw him, she stood up and smiled. “Uncle Fu, what’s the matter?”
“Baby Chu told me about that matter!”
“What matter?” Chu He frowned and looked at him questioningly.
“Baby Chu said he wishes to go home with you.”
After a pause, Butler Fu continued, “Are you really determined to leave?”
Chu He was stunned for a moment. She knew that the little fellow had mentioned this to Butler Fu. She twitched her lips and said, “Then, Butler Fu, do you think that the Gu family has a place for me? When I was still an Interpol agent, I hid in the Gu family and secretly plotted against them. I collected evidence of the Gu family’s crimes and submitted it to the International Court of Justice. After doing such a thing, why would the Gu family welcome a ‘traitor’ like me?”
“Back then, Old Master gave the order to purge you. In the end, you were quite capable and survived. Therefore, according to Old Master, the old grudge between you and the Gu family is considered settled! Red Lotus is already dead, and you are not Red Lotus. If you decide not to return to the Interpol and stay in the Gu family as Chu He, the Gu family will welcome you.”
Having said this, Butler Fu then smiled at her and continued, “After all, you don’t want Baby Chu to grow up without a father, do you?”
“But I don’t wish…” Chu He said faintly, “for Baby Chu’s father to be Gu Jinglian.”
“Since some things are a done deal, it’s hard to change the facts. Even though you can’t accept it, you still have to accept it. Although I can’t comment on what happened between you and Old Master back then, I know that Old Master didn’t force you, and you didn’t force yourself either, right?”
“…”
“This child wasn’t born out of coercion, isn’t that so?”
Chu He hesitated for some time. She started to say something, but then stopped.
“Whatever the case, a child can’t be without a father! No matter what you think of Old Master, I still hope that you can consider this carefully! After all… we all love Baby Chu. If you insist on leaving, given Old Master’s personality… I don’t think anyone wishes for things to turn ugly.”
Chu He raised her eyebrows and said coldly, “Butler Fu, are you threatening me?”
