Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: From Now On, I Will Take Care of Her Chapter 201: Chapter 201: From Now On, I Will Take Care of Her Gu Cheng remained silent.

Qiu Yurou spoke again, “I know you have feelings for Li Zhen. As for me, although I also want to scold her, she has been our daughter for such a long time after all. I am angry that she did not fight for herself, but I also hope she has a good life. However, you are married now, and Yuanyuan doesn’t like her, so you should keep your distance. Don’t you agree?

Let’s do it this way, tell me where she is living now. I can go see her, and if there’s anything she needs help with in the future, I’ll take care of it.”

Gu Cheng thought for a while and then told Qiu Yurou the contact information.

After he had finished speaking, he looked at the divorce agreement again and then sent a message to Zhou Yuan, “Yuanyuan, stop being willful. I don’t agree to the divorce.”

In his view, Zhou Yuan was just throwing a little tantrum.

He waited quite a while and still did not receive a reply from Zhou Yuan.

…
Qiu Yurou made a phone call to Mrs. Zhou, “In-law, how’s Yuanyuan doing now? Alas, all of this is my family’s Gu Cheng’s fault. He is just too sentimental. His ex-girlfriend is not just an ex-girlfriend, but also my former goddaughter. I’ve already told him that he’s not allowed to see that woman again, and if she needs anything, she can come to me.”

Mrs. Zhou said, “Yuanyuan can be a bit willful, but this time she seems to have her heart set on divorce. Why don’t you get Gu Cheng to coax her? If he can’t manage that, then I really have no other solution. I don’t want Yuanyuan to be aggrieved.”

“Alright, I’ll make sure Gu Cheng does a good job of coaxing her. You can rest assured.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yurou sighed.

Wan Manyu had recently been getting particularly close to Bai Anzhi and hardly ever visited her godmother. Gu Cheng wasn’t living with her, and Gu Wei and his spouse had gone to the southwest. She felt like an empty-nester.

At 8 in the evening, Qiu Yurou changed her clothes and went to visit Li Zhen at her place.

Li Zhen actually owned a house in Feng City, but nobody had lived there for so long that when it came time for redevelopment, the developers could not find the owner of the house, so they contacted Qiu Yurou. At that time, Qiu Yurou was still mad at Li Zhen, so she told the developers to hold on to her parents’ house; she didn’t want to deal with it temporarily.

It turned out that whether the developers were being malicious or they genuinely needed to do so for construction purposes, Li Zhen’s parents’ old house became a nail house, surrounded by highways. From both a scientific and a feng shui perspective, this house was uninhabitable.

So, when Li Zhen returned to the country, she naturally sought help from Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng had several properties to his name, and he gave one of the more secluded villas for Li Zhen and her child to live in.

When Qiu Yurou arrived, a nanny was inside, playing with Li Zhen’s daughter.

The little girl sat with her back to the door, playing with building blocks on the ground. Even with a visitor, she did not glance up.

Qiu Yurou had thought that she wouldn’t have any positive feelings towards Li Zhen’s daughter—after all, she was a foreigner’s child and had nothing to do with the Gu Family.

However, when she saw the little girl’s face, the girl seemed to glance at her.

Children with autism are of two extremes; the line between angels and demons is thin, and Li Zhen’s daughter was clearly the former.

The girl had a fair face with a hint of pink, tea-colored curly hair, and was wearing a bow in her hair and a princess dress. At first glance, she seemed like a Barbie doll from a toy store window.

Qiu Yurou’s hard heart seemed to be struck by something, instantly softening.

She asked the nanny, “What’s her name?”

“She’s called Jenny,” the nanny replied.

“Do you stay at home with her most of the time?”

“Not really. She has to go to a special school for two hours every day.” The nanny didn’t recognize Qiu Yurou, but Qiu Yurou’s strong presence and dignified appearance led the nanny to let her in.

Qiu Yurou squatted down and started building blocks with Jenny.

Jenny looked at her again, and it may have been an illusion, but she seemed to smile at Qiu Yurou.

Children with autism don’t usually smile, but Jenny was born with a slight upturn to her lips, making her appear to smile with a slight movement.

“Jenny, what is this?” Qiu Yurou pointed at a small elephant printed on one of the blocks.

Jenny didn’t respond.

The nanny said, “She doesn’t interact much with us, but she likes listening to music and can play the piano. It’s quite pleasant to hear.”

After saying that, the nanny carried Jenny over to the nearby piano. In the nanny’s opinion, a child with talent should be displayed.

Jenny, being moved from one side to another, naturally felt uncomfortable, but she did not throw a tantrum; it was as if the child had no emotions at all.

The nanny pressed a few piano keys, and the child seemed suddenly activated. She sat properly in front of the piano and began to play music.

She played Mozart’s Sonata in A major with her little hands.

Although her technique was not particularly nimble, the sound of the piano seemed to come from a child’s inner world. That was truly her own world, where she could soar freely.

Qiu Yurou listened with deep absorption.

It had been a long time since she had listened to piano music so intently.

While listening, there was a noise at the door, first a voice, “Mom… Aunt Qiu?!”

It was Li Zhen getting off work.

Qiu Yurou glanced at Li Zhen.

They hadn’t seen each other for ten years. Li Zhen seemed much more mature, her face bearing the weathering of life, yet she remained beautiful, beautiful yet world-weary, like Tang Wei in the movies, with a sense of brokenness.

No wonder Gu Cheng would bend over backwards for her.

Jenny continued to play, and it looked as if she wouldn’t stop anytime soon.

Qiu Yurou said to Li Zhen, “Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you.”

The two of them talked in the small garden outside the villa.

“Aunt Qiu…” Li Zhen knew she had done wrong by the Gu Family in the past, so she hardly dared to look directly at Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou looked at her, and although she had been filled with resentment over the years, at the moment of seeing her again, it seemed as if all the hate had vanished.

She thought of Li Zhen’s cautious demeanor when she first arrived at the Gu Family home.

She thought of Li Zhen asking if she could come to see her perform at school.

She thought of Li Zhen winning an award and buying her a gift.

She really treated her as if she were a daughter of her own.

A daughter who errs gets scolded by her mother a few times but is not truly resented, right?

“What have you been doing for work lately?” asked Qiu Yurou.

Li Zhen replied, “I’m working as a planner at a film and music company.”

“Is it hard?”

“It’s not particularly hard, but the pay is decent, enough to support me and Jenny.”

“What’s with Jenny’s condition?”

“She was fine until she turned two, but then she gradually stopped talking. Now, she occasionally says a few words.”

Qiu Yurou said, “You’re busy with work during the day, send your daughter over to my place.”

Li Zhen looked at Qiu Yurou in surprise.

“Aunt Qiu, you don’t blame me?”

“Blame? I wanted to strangle you, but I feel sorry for your daughter. Also, I don’t want Gu Cheng to be in contact with you anymore. Do you know why?”

Li Zhen lowered her head, “Gu Cheng has helped me out a few times, and he was the only person I could turn to.”

“If you need help in the future, you can come to me. We’ve been like mother and daughter for so many years; you should have come to me.”
