Chapter 325 - 325: Xiao Shan’s Visit
Lilys birthday party was perfect, at least in Lilys opinion. After playing for a day, she was so tired that she fell asleep. Cheng Xi covered her with a blanket and went out to meet Gu Peng.
“Thank you. Lily is very happy today,” Cheng Xi said gratefully.
Gu Peng was a little puzzled. “Why are you thanking me?”
Cheng Xi lowered her head and said, “Because you seemed very much like Lily’s father today. You prepared balloons for her to play with and even let her sit on your shoulder. This is the life that Lily yearned for but didn’t get.”
Devon would never do such a thing. He wouldn’t even celebrate Lilys birthday, let alone bring her to play. Cheng Xi didn’t think that he was Lily’s father, but Lily did want a father who loved her.
There was something between her and Gu Peng, but she also understood that this had to be accepted by Lily. She was even more worried that Gu Peng would not be able to take good care of Lily.
But today, she was completely relieved. Gu Peng would definitely be a good father and make Lily forget the pain brought about by her “dad.”
From that day onwards, Song Yun officially lived in the Gu residence and taught Yunbao and Lily spells every day. Gu Lin also found a new tutor to teach the two children. After all, even if they wanted to become wizards, they had to go to university. When the two children reached the age of school, they could not stay at home anymore.
Seeing that everything was safe at home, Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu prepared to set off to enjoy their world tour. This was a promise Old Master Gu had made when he was young. However, he had been busy with the Gu family’s business and did not have the time. Later on, Old Madam Gu had to take care of the children, so they delayed and did not set off.
Now that the children could support the Gu family, the couple had fulfilled their dreams when they were young. After bidding farewell to the children, they boarded a plane overseas.
At this moment, Xiao Shan suddenly came to visit. Xiao Jing had not contacted him since the big fight. He did not expect him to come to the capital to look for him.
Xiao Shan sat in the living room and tried his best to persuade him. “Son, I’m here to ask if Gu Teng is pregnant.”
These words ignited Xiao Jing. He said angrily, “Where did you hear this news? We will only have Yunbao as a child in our lives.”
“Why don’t you understand?” Xiao Shan continued to persuade him. “The Xiao family’s business has to be handed over to your son in the future. If you only have one daughter, these businesses will become your son-in-law’s.”
Xiao Jing didn’t know what was wrong with Xiao Shan to come to the capital to say such hateful words to him. Previously, the father and son had already fallen out over this matter, but he could still put on a kind face.
At the thought of this, Xiao Jing was not so angry anymore. He sat down calmly and said, “It’s our business whether we have children or not. It’s useless no matter what you say. My assets will belong to Yunbao in the future. She can give them to whoever she wants.”
Seeing that Xiao Jing was stubborn, Xiao Shan panicked. “If Gu Teng can’t give birth anymore, you can find a woman outside to give birth. When you give birth to a son, you can bring him back and place him beside Gu Teng.
Outsiders will only think that this child is Gu Tengs.”
Xiao Jing was not surprised at all by Xiao Shan’s words. He even felt that it was a waste of his breath to curse. This was because he had countless lovers when he was young. Even though he was old now, he still had two women outside. It could be said that he had been a playboy his entire life.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t had an illegitimate child all these years, but he had spoiled them until they were useless. Don’t even mention supporting the Gu family, letting them out was simply a harm to society. Xiao Shan was also aware of this, so he wouldn’t give up on Xiao Jing no matter what. In his opinion, only Xiao Jing had the ability to take over the Xiao family.
However, Xiao Jing did not care about the Xiao family’s business at all. He had already established his own company and left the Xiao family business, so Xiao Shan could not threaten him. He could only persuade him again and again.
Xiao Jing relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the sofa. He looked at Xiao Shan with a faint smile and said, “Dad, don’t you feel embarrassed when you say that?”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Shan didn’t understand.
Xiao Jing sneered. “Back then, it was because you were a playboy that my mother cried every day. Later on, she was so sad that her health deteriorated, causing her to pass away at a young age. You actually have the cheek to mention this in front of me. Your skin is really thick.”
Xiao Jings words were no different from pointing at Xiao Shan’s nose and scolding him. He was so angry that he could barely speak. He pointed at Xiao Jing and said, “How dare you talk to me like that? I’m your father!”
Xiao Jing looked impatient. “It’s precisely because you’re my father that I didn’t chase you out. You should be content.…”
