"Ask me for help? That's rare. What can you ask me for help with?" Chu Jingyu asked with a smile.

He picked up the globe on his desk and spun it, and found that his globe seemed different from ordinary ones, and it spun more smoothly.

Gu Mingchen said: "My father-in-law's birthday is coming soon. I don't know what birthday gift he will be happy with. So I want to ask my second brother, do you have any good suggestions?"

In fact, he had asked Li Yu to inquire in the capital a long time ago, but after several days of inquiry, there was no result.

Chu Ci Jing is different from his two brothers. He has always been in the army and rarely socializes outside.

So most people really don’t know his preferences, and people like him who have been stationed in the army for a long time have very strong willpower and are very indifferent to worldly affairs.

Even if you try to guess his thoughts, it’s hard to tell what kind of gift would make him happier.

So he had no choice but to ask Chu Jingyu for advice.

After all, he is my father-in-law's nephew, so he should know something about him.

"You asked the right person." Chu Jingyu spun the globe quickly and said with a smile, "I also stayed with my third uncle for a few years when I was a child. Later, I joined the army with my third uncle. No one in my family knows my third uncle better than me."

Gu Mingchen said happily, "That's great. Tell me what gift would be appropriate. Do you like this globe? I'll give you a hundred."

"What do I need so many globes for?" Chu Jingyu put down the globe.

After a moment, he added, "Don't thank me so early. What my Third Uncle wants most right now may not be something you can bear to give up."

"Don't worry about what rare treasures they are. As long as I have them, I will be willing to give them out. Why wouldn't I be reluctant to give them up?" Gu Mingchen said firmly.

Chu Jingyu asked: "Are you willing to give up your wife and children?"

Gu Mingchen: "..."

"Second brother, you must be joking. What does my father-in-law want with my wife and children?"

Chu Jingyu said, "Look at you, you don't understand this! Third Uncle has always felt that he owed Xiaochu, and now he has finally recognized his precious daughter. He must want to spend more time with her and fulfill his responsibilities as a father. But this daughter has grown up, and she is married and has children. As an old father, how can I take the initiative to ask my married daughter to live with me for a while. But if you take the initiative to bring this up now, I think it will make Third Uncle happier than giving him any gift."

Gu Mingchen frowned and said nothing. He really couldn't bear to give this gift.

He should have gone to the capital a long time ago, but he didn't go because he couldn't bear to leave his wife and children.

A lot of work is done through remote video conferencing or handed over to Li Yu for processing.

Of course, Li Yu was also happy with it.

Because Mu Zhiran was in the capital, he just happened to stay in the capital so that he could date her.

"See, I told you you couldn't bear to part with it."

Chu Jingyu knew his answer as soon as he saw his expression and shrugged.

Gu Mingchen said: "I really don't want to give up this gift. Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Other suggestions... How about you let Xiaochu change his last name?"

"Change your surname?" Gu Mingchen frowned.

Chu Jingyu said, "We all want Xiaochu to change his surname, but we are too embarrassed to ask for it. After all, Xiaochu has never eaten a grain of rice or drunk a sip of water from our Chu family. How can we dare to ask for this? If you can convince Xiaochu to change his surname, then show the new ID card to my uncle, and he will be happy."

"Are you sure? Your family has never mentioned Xiaochu changing his surname. What if you guessed it wrong? In fact, your family doesn't want Xiaochu to have the surname Chu?" Gu Mingchen asked with a frown.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If Su Jinchu changes his name to Chu Jinchu, he will officially become a member of the Chu family.

Her identity is special. I wonder if she will be criticized and become a handle against Chu Ci Mirror?

These businessmen are not afraid of illegitimate children. Some of them will even openly bring the good ones back home.

But the Chu family is different. They are a powerful family involved in politics, and their every move is under the scrutiny of others.

"How could I be wrong? Don't you still believe me? Our family absolutely wants Xiaochu to have the surname Chu, 100 percent." Chu Jingyu assured.

However, Gu Mingchen still didn't dare to completely believe his words. He felt that this matter should be handled more cautiously.

So, I asked him to call his father and ask his second uncle for his opinion.

Chu Jingyu was speechless about the fact that he didn't trust him.

But he didn't object and called his father in front of him.

"You still remember to call me? There has been no news for such a long time, your mother is almost dying of worry."

As soon as Chu Cishu opened his mouth, he scolded him.

Chu Jingyu explained helplessly: "Didn't I tell you before I left that I had to carry out a special mission? A big leader at your level, don't you know what a special mission is? It means that during the mission, you cannot contact the outside world. Otherwise, you can call our director and tell him what you said. Then, when I carry out a special mission in the future, I can open a back door and call home to report that I am safe."

"Hmph, don't try to fool me with these words." Chu Cijing scolded, "I have already learned about it from your leader. Your mission ended the night before yesterday. As soon as it ended, you disappeared immediately, saying that you went home to visit your family. Are you back? Fortunately, I didn't tell your mother, otherwise your mother would be happy for nothing."

"I went home to visit my family. It's just my own little family." Chu Jingyu said confidently.

Chu Cishu snorted coldly. He knew that he must have run to Jiangcheng.

"Since you are in Jiangcheng, go and see Xiaochu and Tuantuan. You are the older brother, so you should act like a brother. You should also act like an uncle and take good care of Xiaochu and Tuantuan." Chu Cishu ordered.

Chu Jingyu said, "Don't worry, I'm at Xiaochu's house now. He was so tired from playing with Tuantuan that he fell asleep. I called you to consult you about something. Do you want Xiaochu to change his last name to Chu?"

"Of course I do. Not only me, but my whole family does." Chu Cishu was stunned for a moment and answered excitedly.

His voice was so loud that Gu Mingchen could hear it even if the speakerphone was not on.

Chu Jingyu immediately looked at him and gave him a look that said "you see".

"Okay, I see."

"Why, did Xiaochu talk to you about this issue?" Chu Cishu asked nervously.

Chu Jingyu said: "No, I just asked casually."

Chu Cishu said disappointedly, "I thought it was Xiaochu who proposed it. If she could change her surname to Chu, not only would I be happy, but your third uncle and your grandfather would also be happy. However, we were too embarrassed to propose it, and asked your third uncle to propose it, but he didn't want to either. It was really frustrating."

After that, he paused for a moment, coughed lightly and asked, "You have a good relationship with Xiaochu, why don't you mention it?"

"You really think about it. I'm going to hang up now."

Chu Jingyu hung up the phone.

Gu Mingchen smiled and said, "Thank you, I understand. I'll bring this up."

"As long as the ID card is changed, my third uncle will be more satisfied with it than any birthday gift."

"It's a change of surname, but birthday presents still need to be prepared. Does my father-in-law have anything he particularly likes?"

"Tea! He likes to drink tea, so just prepare some good tea for him." Chu Jingyu suggested again.

Gu Mingchen nodded. This was not difficult. As long as it could be bought with money, it would not be a problem for him.

Chu Jingyu and Shen Manzi left after dark.

After they left, Gu Mingchen immediately discussed the issue of changing his surname with Su Jinchu.

Su Jinchu frowned: "Did your second brother ask you to bring it up?"

"I asked him what his father-in-law would like, and he said that if you could change your last name, it would be the best gift his father-in-law could ever receive."

Su Jinchu bit her lip lightly.

Gu Mingchen knew that she would subconsciously do this when she was nervous.

I couldn't help but reach out my fingers and gently stroke her lips to make her loosen her teeth.

Seeing the shallow bite marks on her rosy lips, she leaned forward and kissed her lovingly, saying, "Don't be nervous. It's just a change of surname. You don't like this surname anyway, so you can forget the past by changing it."

"Although there are many unpleasant memories in the past, there are also good memories and people worth remembering. For example, my grandma always called me Su Su, and I really can't bear to give up this nickname." Su Jinchu said with a wry smile.

"I will still call you Su Su from now on. We just changed our real names." Gu Mingchen said.

"it is good."

She nodded gently in agreement and leaned lightly on his shoulder. She had no particular resistance to this matter anyway.

I originally thought that changing my name would be troublesome, but it turned out to be so simple.

He gave her a new ID card with the three words "Chu Jinchu" written on it.

The new ID card was just cut and not taken away. Gu Mingchen said he would keep it for her as a souvenir.

Gu Mingmei knew that she had changed her name, so she came over to celebrate and said, "You should have changed it a long time ago, but I'll call you Xiao Chu from now on."

"You can also call me Xiaochu." Chu Jinchu reminded with a wry smile.

Xiao Chu thought it sounded strange, while Xiao Chu sounded more friendly.

"When are you going to Beijing?" Gu Mingmei asked.

Gu Mingchen said: "We will set off in three days."

Chu Ci Jing's birthday is in a week, so they have to go there early.

"Leave the baby to me! I'll take care of him for a while." said Gu Mingmei.

In fact, the main purpose of coming here today is to take the baby away.

They were going to the capital to celebrate Chu Cijing's birthday, so of course they couldn't bring the baby with them and let the Chu family laugh at them.

So thinking of this, she came over.

Chu Jinchu said: "Sister Mei, don't bother you, we plan to bring the baby with us."

"Take her with you?" Gu Mingmei frowned and said, "That's not a good idea! You've already had a hard time taking care of Tuantuan, and if you take care of the baby too, the Chu family will feel bad when they see you. They'll think that our family is bullying and enslaving you, and they'll be angry."

"No, I will explain it clearly." Chu Jinchu promised.

Gu Mingmei looked at Gu Mingchen, hoping he could persuade her.

But who knew that Gu Mingchen also stood on his wife's side and said, "Sister, just trust Su Su, you can coordinate this matter."

Gu Mingmei had no choice but to say, "Okay, since you have already made your decision, I have no choice but to respect it. However, if you need my help, please don't hesitate. I will go and get her back right away."

"Yes, we know." Chu Jinchu nodded.

After seeing Gu Mingmei off, Chu Jinchu and Gu Mingchen went to see Tuantuan and the baby.
