Chapter 117 - Walking Conan

Translator: ShinoJ

After Gu Manxi expressed her gratitude to Zhang Qi repeatedly, she left the ward.

Zhang Qi happily recuperated in the hospital. He flipped through the script and became even more serious with his practice.

“Mama, were you an actor in the past?” Gu Chu pretended to be curious and asked.

Gu Manxi did not hide it. She nodded slightly and held Gu Chu’s small hand. “I acted in the past. Uncle Lu was the director.”

“Mommy is the most beautiful person in the world. You will definitely become a big star. Why won’t mommy continue to be an actress?” Gu Chu continued to ask with an innocent look on her face.

Gu Manxi choked. She did not know how to explain the pregnancy incident back then. She subconsciously looked at Song Chen.

Beside her, Song Chen, who was silently following behind his wife and children, touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly.

It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.

Back then, he had just become the president and walked a cold and unfeeling path. He was unworldly and didn’t know the warmth of human emotions. He had done many things that hurt Gu Manxi’s feelings.

He reflected on himself for five years. Every minute and every second of losing Gu Manxi was torture. He had also realized his true feelings through the long years of torture.

Then, he had decided to change his past and be a warm man in front of his wife and daughter.

He would leave his cold and domineering demeanor to outsiders.

His warmth was only for the people he loved.

Lu Shanhe sneered. “Your mother was a talented actress. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and met some bastard. She then temporarily retired from the entertainment industry.” Lu Shanhe was still very angry when he thought about it now.

F*ck Song Chen!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the same time, Lu Shanhe was also quite angry with Gu Manxi. You were short of money back then and could’ve just borrowed money from a big director like me. Why did you ask for money from a cold-faced jerk like Song Chen?

“Ahem — Mister Lu, I’ll take Chuchu home first.” Gu Manxi changed the awkward topic. “Today is Saturday. Chuchu’s kindergarten homework hasn’t been done yet.”

Gu Chu: Thanks. I’ve finished my homework for kindergarten in five minutes.

Gu Manxi held Gu Chu’s soft little hand and was about to leave the hospital. However, a familiar figure walked toward them. Cheng Qi stopped in his tracks as if he didn’t expect to run into Gu Chu.

Cheng Qi still looked like a young yet mature man, with two assistants in black behind him. His deep black eyes quickly swept across Gu Chu and then fell on the bandage on her slender arm. His eyes were slightly furrowed, and a cold light flashed across them.

“Miss Gu, President Song, Director Lu, what a coincidence,” Cheng Qi said.

Song Chen and Lu Shanhe were both considered to be important figures. Cheng Qi was only 15 years old, and his aura was not inferior in front of the two big shots.

Song Chen nodded slightly, and Director Lu took two steps forward. “Young Master Cheng, you came at the right time. My friend Zhang Qi is currently in hospital. Please take care of him for the next two days.”

Cheng Qi said, “Of course. I still have something to do, so I’ll get going first.”

After saying that, Cheng Qi nodded at everyone and left in large strides. Gu Chu looked curiously at the young man’s back. That was strange. weren’t you chasing after my mother?

Why didn’t you even look at my mother today?

Also, you clearly noticed the scratch on my arm just now. You didn’t even ask or take the opportunity to curry favor with my mother?

Gu Chu scratched her head. She really didn’t understand the thoughts of a fifteen-year-old in the prime of his life. He was probably in puberty and had complicated feelings.

...

On the other side, Cheng Qi strode into the office and took the water from his assistant to quench his thirst.

He was originally dealing with some disobedient illegitimate son of his father. When he heard that Gu Chu was in the hospital, Cheng Qi put down the gun and rushed to the hospital, pretending to have met her by chance.

On the way here, he listened to the doctor’s report on Gu Chu’s injury.

Cheng Qi only felt a headache. As long as Gu Chu was around, there would definitely be trouble. Gu Chu was like a walking Conan.. Wherever she went, there would be danger.
