On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

When Gu Mingchen saw Zhao Shengnan leaving, he quickly opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the coffee shop.

There were few people in the coffee shop at this time. After he went in, he saw Su Jinchu at first sight.

Su Jinchu sat in his seat, looking out the window in a daze, his eyes unfocused, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He was about to walk over.

Unexpectedly, a young and good-looking waiter in the coffee shop got there before him. She walked up to Su Jinchu and asked with a blushing face, "Beautiful lady, can you add me on WeChat?"

Gu Mingchen: "..."

His wife, was she being hit on by someone right under his nose?

"Honey, we have to go home to see the kids."

He strode over, ignoring the clerk, walked to Su Jinchu, bent down and gently reminded her.

Su Jinchu came back to his senses and looked at him blankly.

However, as a mother, she still captured the word "child" accurately.

He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go home right away."

After she finished speaking, she noticed the older boy and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

She remembered that Zhao Shengnan paid the bill when he left.

"No, it's okay."

The older boy quickly shook his head and left with a red face.

When he left, he lowered his head very low, not daring to look at Gu Mingchen, as if he was afraid of being scolded by Gu Mingchen.

"What's wrong with him?" Su Jinchu asked in confusion.

Gu Mingchen chuckled and said, "It's okay. You can tell at a glance that he's a part-time student and not professional."

Su Jinchu didn't worry about what happened to the clerk. Today's conversation with Zhao Shengnan was very heavy, and it made her feel heavy-hearted.

So after getting on the bus, she didn't say anything, but just turned her head and stared out the window.

"Can you tell me what she told you?"

Gu Mingchen held her hand and asked in a low voice.

Su Jinchu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Gu Mingchen frowned. Judging from her reaction, it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant!

"Did she bully you? She said she was willing to accept you, but she just said something nasty to you?"

I never thought that he would be so wrong.

I originally thought that Zhao Shengnan was a broad-minded woman, but she did these things secretly.

"I'll call the Chu family right away."

He is not a good-tempered person who can endure humiliation, especially since the one being bullied is his wife.

"Don't mess around, she didn't bully me."

Su Jinchu finally reacted and stopped him.

The man didn't believe it and said with a sullen face: "I didn't bully you, why do you look like that? Even if she is your elder, you don't owe her anything, so there's no need to put up with her."

"She really didn't bully me, and she even apologized to me," said Su Jinchu.

"Apologize? Why should she apologize to you?" Gu Mingchen was puzzled.

Su Jinchu lowered her eyes again and murmured what she had said to him again.

Gu Mingchen was also surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"In fact, I don't hate her, nor do I blame her. Although I know that was perhaps a chance for my mother to survive, no matter who it was, they might not be able to do as well as she did. She is... a well-educated, kind woman. She just made a decision that many people would have made at the time. Moreover, she has been tortured by this incident over the years, and she is willing to apologize to me. She is already better than many people."

"Since you don't hate her, don't think about it anymore."

Gu Mingchen hugged her lovingly and patted her back gently to comfort her.

Su Jinchu leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and said, "You're right. I don't want to think about it anymore."

Things in this world cannot stand up to scrutiny. Don't delve into them too deeply, let others go and let yourself go.

********

Gu Hongze and Lin Jingshan came to pick up their daughter from the hospital. After listening to the doctor, they learned that Gu Mingchen and Su Jinchu had been there yesterday.

Lin Jingshan frowned and her expression suddenly turned ugly.

Gu Hongze said happily: "Achen and Xiaosu are here too. They are also very concerned about my sister. Jingshan, we should go over to see Xiaosu and Tuantuan when we have time."

"I'm not stopping you from going, but aren't you afraid of scaring your eldest son and grandson with the look on your face?" Lin Jingshan said sarcastically.

Gu Hongze's excited eyes dimmed in an instant. He was indeed afraid of scaring the child with this look.

"Okay, don't be too sad." Lin Jingshan comforted him again, "The child is still young. It won't be too late for you to visit him when he grows up and becomes sensible. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, that child is a generation apart from you. If he is really scared, they will blame you. Unlike our baby, he is our own child, so it doesn't matter what happens to him."

"I know." Gu Hongze said in a low voice.

The doctor asked them to come over and go through the formalities, and after that, handed the child over to them.

Lin Jingshan was not used to holding such a soft child.

Although she is already this age, she has never actually held a child.

She thought it was a simple thing, but when she actually did it, she found it was not.

"Hongze, come hold me! I'm afraid I can't hold me well."

In this regard, she is not even as experienced as Gu Hongze.

But Gu Hongze had experience, and he only held the child when he was older and easier to hold.

Besides, he was still young at that time and his arms were healthy.

Now I only have one arm, how can I let him hug me?

Seeing his little daughter so weak and small, even her breathing was so gentle, Gu Hongze was also scared.

"Why don't you take it?" Lin Jingshan was anxious.

She couldn't hold her anymore, her arms began to tremble, and she was afraid that if she continued to hold her, she would accidentally drop her.

The nurse standing by was speechless and had to help them take it.

"Are you two the only ones here to pick up the kids? Is there no one else home?"

There have been a few people here before, and they looked quite reliable, much more reliable than these two.

"She's just a girl. Who would take her seriously? Of course no one else would come." Lin Jingshan laughed at herself with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Lin, my last name is Qin, and I'm the nanny that Mr. Gu asked me to come and take care of the child."

At this time, a gentle-looking, neatly dressed woman came over and introduced herself to them respectfully.

When Gu Hongze heard that it was a nanny, he immediately said happily: "That's great, we just didn't know how to hold the baby, you came at the right time."

Sister Qin stretched out her hand, intending to take the child.

But who would have thought that Lin Jingshan would reach out to stop him and questioned, "Why would he send you here? Why would he be so kind for no reason?"

Sister Qin explained: "Boss Gu said that the baby was born prematurely and is too weak. He was worried that you wouldn't be able to take good care of him, so he asked me to come over to help take care of him."

Gu Hongze also said: "Achen's kindness, what do you mean by this? If Achen hadn't sent someone over, we wouldn't know how to take him back today."

Lin Jingshan looked unhappy. It was all their fault that they had not made preparations in advance and asked someone to come and help pick him up from the hospital.

I thought I could handle it, but I overestimated myself.

In this situation, we can only ask her for help.

So I had to step aside and let Sister Qin take the baby from the nurse.

However, after returning home, Lin Jingshan began to discuss finding a nanny with Gu Hongze.

"Didn't Achen send Miss Qin over? I think she's quite professional. The baby doesn't cry in her arms. She can handle it alone and there's no need to hire a nanny." Gu Hongze said.

Lin Jingshan said angrily: "This is your daughter. Even if she is a girl, you can't look down on her like this."

Gu Hongze was wronged by her again, and could only helplessly defend himself again: "I have never looked down on the baby, let alone her gender. How many times do you want me to say it before you believe it?"

"If you don't despise her, you can find a nanny for her. I just talked to Miss Qin. Su Jinchu's son has several people taking care of him. Besides us, the only professional nanny around our baby is Gu Mingchen's. How can I feel at ease?"

"Okay, okay, go ahead and look for it if you want! It's up to you, okay?"

Gu Hongze wanted to keep things quiet, so he agreed without any hesitation.

However, his attitude made Lin Jingshan angry. She felt that he didn't take her seriously at all and was just being perfunctory.

Soon, the sound of a baby crying was heard outside.

The crying was very weak and intermittent, sounding like a kitten, and was very pitiful.

Lin Jingshan hurried out and saw Sister Qin holding the child and coaxing him.

He immediately frowned and shouted, "What did you do to her? Why is she crying?"

Sister Qin coaxed her while explaining, "She just finished feeding and her stomach is bloated, so she's crying. It's okay, I've already massaged her, she'll be fine after coaxing her for a while."

"It's really just bloating, you didn't do anything to her?" Lin Jingshan asked suspiciously.

Sister Qin was speechless, but thinking that she was the child's mother, she could only hold back and remain silent.

She didn't say anything, which made Lin Jingshan even more excited, thinking that she was just guilty.

She continued to accuse angrily, "I'm telling you, don't think you can do anything to my child just because you were sent by Gu Mingchen. Although she is not as valued as Su Jinchu's child, she also has her biological parents around to love her. If you dare to do anything to her, I will not let you go."

Sister Qin was completely speechless. She couldn't bear it any longer and angrily retorted, "Ms. Lin, I am a nanny and I have received professional training. As a qualified nanny, I must first have a loving heart for children. What else can I do for her besides taking good care of her? What are you doubting about?"

"Huh, don't you know what I'm suspicious of?"

"If you doubt that I am doing harm to the child, then you can take care of her yourself! I'm going back. Do you think I want to come here? She is much easier to take care of than Tuantuan."

Sister Qin angrily stuffed the baby into her hands and turned away.

Anyway, she's not the one who pays the salary, so what is she afraid of?

I didn’t know the identity of this woman before, but after hearing from the servants here, I found out that she was Mr. Gu’s stepmother.

With such an identity, he is still so troublesome and even doubts Mr. Gu's good intentions. He has no self-awareness at all.

"You...you think that if you leave, we won't be able to take care of the child?"

Lin Jingshan was very angry. She hugged her daughter stiffly and said stubbornly.

Sister Qin was so angry that she left without looking back.

The baby in my arms was still crying. Although the cry was weak, it was heartbreaking to hear.

Lin Jingshan had no choice but to coax her herself.
