Chapter 629: Chapter 4: President Gu Protects His Husband Online with Dominance
Yi Shu forced a smile: "What kind of talk is that? You’re not even wishing Chi Yu well. It’ll be fine, the public uproar will die down soon."
Xiao Kai: "That’s not necessarily true."
Cheng Song tugged on Xiao Kai’s arm: "Yi Shu’s already in a bad mood now. Chi Yu’s newly signed endorsement got canceled too, don’t bother him."
"Oh dear, the endorsement got canceled? That’s such a pity." His expression nearly broke into a laugh right there.
Yi Shu: "..."
Xiao Kai’s smile was indeed annoying, especially as he thought Chi Yu was here and planned to give him a good dose of sarcasm, only to find him absent. He almost couldn’t hold back from saying even nastier words in front of Yi Shu, but just as Cheng Song said, he had to maintain appearances, lest he becomes the subject of gossip and it turns into trouble for him.
Once Xiao Kai and Cheng Song left.
Yi Shu couldn’t hold back and spat: "Bah!"
Happy now?
You’re celebrating way too early!
...
Online, people were hurling nasty insults at Chi Yu, yet he didn’t respond, allowing the situation to escalate into various controversies.
With a single word, he blocked the company’s actions to handle public relations for him.
He also told Yi Shu not to intervene.
Returning to the entertainment industry...
We’ll see; he hasn’t decided yet.
The flight from Sui City to Yanjing had just landed a few minutes ago.
Gu Yuan didn’t bring any luggage, nor did Chi Yu; they just walked straight out of the airport after disembarking. She exited airplane mode on her phone, got signal, received several messages on WeChat, and a call came through promptly.
The person picking them up today was Quan Yin.
Not just picking them up by chance, he personally drove from the old mansion. The car was a business vehicle with a spacious back seat, and inside were Old Madam Quan and Suisui, which was also why Quan Yin was there to pick them up.
Gu Yuan answered the phone a few meters away.
Chi Yu originally wanted to stay by Gu Yuan’s side without leaving her shadow, but his daughter inside the car saw him and called for Grandma to roll down the window, waving and shouting non-stop: "Eat fish~ Eat fish~ Look at me~"
Sometimes the little cotton-padded jacket leaks wind, but it keeps warm too.
Chi Yu was already close to a state of being a doting father, hearing his daughter call him relentlessly, he said a word to Gu Yuan and went to the car side first.
Besides Suisui’s little head, Yu Rujin was also in the car.
Seeing his grandmother’s face, Chi Yu felt it had been ages since they last met, and he called out warmly: "Grandma."
The voice was gentle, very close, just like before.
On the way from the old mansion to the airport, Yu Rujin’s face never stopped smiling as her grandson and granddaughter-in-law came out from inside, her mood turned blissful as if she’d eaten honey. Especially hearing Jin call her "Grandma," always felt it hit the heart, why didn’t she feel this way before?
She responded with a smile, eyes slightly clouded, examining Chi Yu’s body in detail, suddenly frowned: "Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight?"
Chi Yu chuckled softly: "No, Grandma, it’s just you haven’t seen me for too long."
"How could..." Yu Rujin turned to ask Quan Yin, who was sitting in the driver’s seat: "Fifth, do you think Jin looks thinner?"
Quan Yin glanced back.
The relationship between the uncle and nephew was still somewhat strained.
That incident was like a thorn in Chi Yu’s heart, but he never brought it up openly. Furthermore, he’s now Chi Yu, not the Quan Jin who only has Quan Jin’s memories.
Quan Yin merely glanced at Chi Yu and casually responded to his mother: "Yeah, a bit thinner."
Yu Rujin looked at Chi Yu: "You heard that, even your Fifth Uncle says so."
Chi Yu’s and Quan Yin’s eyes met for just a few seconds before Quan Yin withdrew his gaze, casually asking: "Has the matter been resolved?"
Out of context.
Chi Yu gave a short response: "Sorry to bother Uncle, it’s been resolved."
Quan Yin’s voice remained indifferent: "Glad to hear it’s solved."
"Where’s Mom? When’s Mom coming over?"
Leaning against the car window, Suisui reached out and clung to Chi Yu’s clothes, shaking: "Eat fish, why isn’t Mom coming over?"
Chi Yu bent slightly, extending his hand: "Mom is on the phone, it’s work."
Suisui understood and nodded obediently.
She opened her arms, face radiant with joy, looking up at Chi Yu, waiting for him to carry her out.
Chi Yu curled his lips into a smile, using both hands to lift Suisui out of the car through the window, holding her in his arms. Inside the car, Yu Rujin worried that Suisui’s legs might get stuck, her hand extending as well, promptly opening the car door and getting out, muttering complaints: "That’s your daughter; you don’t even take more care, would’ve been fine to open the door and carry her."
Chi Yu’s voice was gentle: "I know my limits, Grandma, don’t worry."
Yu Rujin retorted with a sensible reply: "If you knew your limits, you wouldn’t only find out you had a daughter outside when she’s already three."
Chi Yu: "..."
Those words were certainly sensible, leaving Chi Yu speechless.
At this moment, Quan Yin got out of the car too, circled around the front, walked to Yu Rujin’s side, and she could tell he had something going on, asking: "What’s up, Fifth?"
Quan Yin lifted his gaze, glanced at Gu Yuan answering the phone not far away, then withdrew his gaze saying: "Got some matters to handle, I’ll be going ahead."
"A car is coming for you?" Yu Rujin inquired.
Quan Yin nodded softly: "On the way."
"Alright then," Fifth was usually a busy man, too busy to date, too busy to get married. That incident was somewhat chaotic, and Yu Rujin never denied her role in stirring things up back then. Nowadays, she naturally wouldn’t say such things.
Seeing the car arrive to pick up Quan Yin, Yu Rujin asked: "Coming back for dinner tonight?"
Quan Yin glanced at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu held his daughter in his arms, meeting Quan Yin’s gaze, he didn’t say anything.
Quan Yin nodded and responded: "Sure."
Suisui looked eagerly at Quan Yin, and Quan Yin knew the little one was watching him. He, who never teased children, made an exception for Suisui. In his 35 years, it was the first time Suisui made him believe he should have a child too.
Whether a daughter or a son, either would be nice.
However, future matters can wait.
No rush.
He reached out to Suisui, his fingers long and refined. Chi Yu glanced at his daughter in his arms, seeing her stretch out her hand to grasp Quan Yin’s index finger.
Quan Yin smiled slightly, sparing words: "Good girl."
Suisui’s smile was so wide her eyes nearly turned into crescents, withdrawing her hand, she waved: "Bye-bye~"
Quan Yin acknowledged with a nod, turned, walked a few steps, and got into the car waiting for him.
After the car drove off, Gu Yuan put down her phone, looking at the few photos just snapped, very warm.
She just ended a call, raised her head about to walk over, but saw the just-passed scene—Chi Yu holding his daughter, her hand reaching out to shake hands with Quan Yin, Grandma lovingly watching this moment.
Looking at this photo, Gu Yuan’s heart stirred.
Recently, Chi Yu didn’t let her intervene in online matters, so she didn’t check on how public opinion was progressing online.
Today she took a look and found it was unusually bad.
Things ultimately need resolving, while he might not care, she does, can’t bear to see those netizens curse him endlessly.
Seems this casually snapped photo will be of use.
