No one knew that Ye Wanqing and Old Man Gu had such a conversation. When Ye Wanqing returned, Mu Mu and Lin Lin was downstairs in the hall.
This butler was quite a gentleman. Gu Zhenmu was already able to speak to him fluently in foreign languages, but Ye Wanqing noticed that he was not speaking English. Instead, he was speaking in a small language.
Ye Chenlin looked at Gu Zhenmu with envy from the side. His two hands that were hanging down were twisting the corner of his clothes uneasily, revealing his cowardice, nervousness and uneasiness.
"Canyouspeak English?"
Ye Wanqing pushed the wheelchair over, upon seeing her, Ye Chenlin's eyes immediately lit up, cheerfully and enthusiastically pulling her along: "Mommy, look, there's a foreign uncle here!"
There were also foreign English teachers in the kindergarten, but teachers would not teach one-on-one in class. Ye Chenlin had never been this close to them before, so he was very excited and curious about them.
"Lady, if you find it inconvenient, I can actually speak the Mandarin as well."
Ye Chenlin cried out in alarm, his eyes shining as he looked at him with admiration. In his entire life, Ye Chenlin had never seen a foreigner with such a perfect pronunciation of Chinese.
Ye Wanqing was also a little surprised. Through the communication, he found out that the butler was called Brooke, and was from an island nation with a very small land area and population.
Brook's speech was filled with respect and admiration towards the Gu family, which was a hundred year old family. His thoughts were open and his words were spoken without much hesitation, he directly asked Ye Wanqing why the two children looked exactly the same.
Ye Wanqing didn't think that this was the difference in talent, but because Ye Chenlin did not receive a good education from the start.
Ye Wanqing did not explain too much to Brook, he only asked for him to accompany him and the two children to play games. As the butler, Brook naturally agreed readily.
The game was very simple, it was something that was commonly seen in kindergartens. If you drew it, you would guess that it was a question given by the teacher. You could name any item and let a child draw it.
Brook quickly found pen and paper to make the necessary cardboard for the game. In order to nurture Ye Chenlin, Ye Wanqing especially made Brook add a rule to the game.
Ye Chenlin's spoken words were lacking, upon hearing the rules, he immediately raised his hand, strongly requesting for Brook to reject him.
In the kindergarten, Ye Chenlin would not dare to speak to his teacher in such a manner. Right now, Brook was just a temporary playmate to him, and with Ye Wanqing not having the time to bother with him recently, his little temper was immediately revealed.
"Lin Lin, you said that you want to give up even before the game started? This is a display of not having enough courage."
"I'm good at painting. Why can't I paint?"
Ye Chenlin retorted loudly. His brows were filled with impatience, like a spoiled brat.
Ye Wanqing had just finished a conversation with the old man and had guaranteed that he would leave in the future. She would absolutely not disturb Gu Jinyuan and the three children.
She was especially afraid that when she was not around, Gu Jinyuan would be busy with work, unable to give Lin Lin proper guidance in life, and make them become arrogant and unreasonable rich kids, thinking that as long as they had money, they could commit heinous acts.
She did not want Lin Lin and Sen Senyuan to be too strong, and thus, they would fight over the properties of the clan with Mu Mu in the future.
She was too worried, and the moment Ye Chenlin showed any signs of malice, she became a bird of prey.
"Your spoken language is not good. With Brooke here, you can practice your pronunciation very well. Why do you resist? Don't you know that this kind of opportunity is hard to come by? "
Ye Wanqing raised her voice uncontrollably. She asked the last sentence, but it was for Ye Chenlin to hear herself. In the future, the number of times she could play games with her two children would become fewer and fewer. It might even be her last time.
"I'm just not as smart as Big Brother Mu Mu is. I don't want to say why did you force me to do this?"
Ye Chenlin was angry, he already had his own set of logical thinking system, and was extremely sensitive towards emotions.
Ever since he had returned to the Gu household, he had always felt a sense of inferiority and envy. Gu Zhenmu's display of experience and etiquette was far superior to his.
His heart was only thinking of buying yummy biscuits to give to his grandmother, mother and Sen Senli to eat. However, what Gu Zhenmu learned was how to be a manager, how to manage a company.
Although telling them that the management company was very far away, Ye Chenlin knew that the gap between him and Gu Zhenmu was especially huge. So big that other than having a face, he didn't have anything similar to Gu Zhenmu at all.
He knew that he had to merge with the Gu family, assimilate into this unfamiliar environment, but he was afraid that he would live under the shadow of Gu Zhenmu in the future and not be able to find his former self.
He no longer wanted to play this game. Ye Wanqing's coercion made him very sad, as if no one in this world could discover his fear and unease and no one cared about his feelings.
The more he thought about it, the more hurt he felt. Ye Chenlin turned around and ran, but Ye Wanqing did not want to get used to his temper, so he scolded sternly: "Ye Chenlin, stop right there!"
After five years as a mother, she hadn't said a single harsh word to them, and today was the first time she had used such a commanding tone.
Ye Chenlin stopped and turned around. Because he was near the door, under the light, Ye Wanqing could not see his face clearly, he could only hear his soft and milky voice proclaiming, "I have long given up that name. My name is Gu Chenlin now, you have no right to care about me!"
A sword strike to the throat.
Ye Wanqing sat on the wheelchair dumbfoundedly as blood started to flow backwards. Her entire body felt weak and cold, her breath was wrapped in sparks, the burning pain made her internal organs hurt, it was so painful that she felt like suffocating.
She thought that she had long since been prepared to let go. She thought that she had built a steel wall so that she would not be harmed in any way. However, this vile words broke through the city and penetrated her soul.
Her children were now surnamed Gu. She no longer had the right to care about them.
Years from now, they wouldn't even remember having a mother like her.
The color of blood on her face immediately faded, becoming as white as paper. But Ye Chenlin did not see that, as he was immersed in his own sadness, he quickly ran out.
"Brooke!" Ye Wanqing used all of his strength to open his mouth: "Please help me look after Lin Lin, don't let anything happen to him."
Even though she knew that the security of the Gu household was excellent, and that nothing would happen to Ye Chenlin, she still said these words.
She was pregnant in October and had suffered countless torments before giving birth to her child. Even if her heart had been damaged to a perfect state, how could she possibly be angry with him?
