The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 315: Daddy’s Here to Pick Me Up~
Three days later.
Old Madam Quan arrived in Sui City.
Gu Yuan hosted Yu Rujin enthusiastically. During their conversation, Gu Yuan realized that her three years in Yanjing were not in vain; Yu Rujin still remembered her. Quan Jin’s return only brought some changes to the Quan Family without altering the timeline of her going to see Yu Rujin each year.
"You come to visit me every year around September, but this year it’s still early, and I couldn’t wait to see you." Yu Rujin held her hand as she spoke earnestly.
Gu Yuan lowered her head, looking at the aged hand covering the back of her own.
Three years have passed, and the Quan Family Matriarch had aged a lot.
She said, "Sui City is not as prosperous as Yanjing, but it’s a good place. I originally wanted to personally invite you to take a stroll around Sui City."
"Here I am, coming uninvited." Yu Rujin chuckled, holding Gu Yuan’s hand tightly without letting go: "Every time I see you, you are this thin. You haven’t gained a bit of weight. If you were with me, you would be a chubby girl by now."
"Every girl loves beauty, and so do I. Gaining weight wouldn’t look good." If she really turned into a chubby girl, Gu Yuan feared she wouldn’t be able to accept it herself.
Even when she was pregnant with Suisui, she didn’t gain much weight. Without looking at her belly and just observing her face, she didn’t look like a pregnant woman.
Seeing Gu Yuan made Yu Rujin very happy, and she chatted casually with Gu Yuan, speaking more, until Fu timely reminded her: "Old Madam, it’s already four in the afternoon, perhaps Miss Gu still has work."
"Oh, I’m such a chatty old lady," Yu Rujin said to Gu Yuan with a smiling face: "Have I delayed your time?"
"No, knowing you were coming today, how could I let work tie me up?"
Gu Yuan made thorough arrangements.
But to Yu Rujin, it sounded sweet, prompting her to say with a grin while holding Gu Yuan’s hand, "I have a grandson your age. Have I mentioned him to you before?"
The grandson Yu Rujin referred to was undoubtedly Quan Jin.
In these three years, the existence of Quan Jin changed many trajectories. People in Yanjing who knew about the Quan Family would undeniably know about Quan Jin’s existence.
A young master of the Quan Family who studied abroad.
He has returned quietly, and many are secretly inquiring about this young master’s whereabouts. The threshold of the Quan Family is nearly getting trampled, as everyone desires to connect with this wealthy lineage.
Gu Yuan shook her head: "You haven’t mentioned him."
Yu Rujin also pondered, realizing she hadn’t mentioned her grandson who studied overseas in front of Gu Yuan, and pretended to know nothing as she intentionally said, "His name is Quan Jin, he just returned from Sydney not long ago and is your age."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Sydney?
Chi Yu returned from Sydney this time?
And judging by Yu Rujin’s words, could it be like before, hinting at the intent to form a lifelong bond?
But whose idea it was back then, Gu Yuan still didn’t know. She guessed it must’ve been initiated by the Old Madam Quan herself after knowing about her and Chi Yu, suggesting a lifelong bond.
She had been kept in the dark back then and refused, and Chi Yu didn’t persist with Quan Jin’s identity, indicating that it wasn’t his idea.
It was Old Madam Quan’s idea.
So, this time, it probably is too.
She replied, "If there’s a chance, we can have a meal together."
Yu Rujin, hearing this, raised her eyebrows, filled with joy: "This can be arranged."
She then turned to Fu beside her: "Hand me the phone, Jin happens to be in Sui City, I’ll call him to make time for a meal with you. You young people have plenty to talk about."
Gu Yuan remained composed, indicating acceptance.
She never intended to deceive Yu Rujin because she knew that someone of Yu Rujin’s stature couldn’t be easily fooled by her. Moreover, with the resources of the Quan Family, Yu Rujin only needed to move a finger to find out who Chi Yu was recently close to.
Apparently, Yu Rujin had already gathered a lot of information.
Fu handed the phone to Yu Rujin: "Here, Old Madam."
Yu Rujin took the phone, gesturing to Fu to be silent, and then said to Gu Yuan: "I’ll call him and arrange a meeting for tonight, how about that?"
Gu Yuan nodded, lips curved into a smile.
The call was connected—
At that moment, Chi Yu was outside.
He went to pick up Suisui from her early education class.
During the few minutes of waiting, he received a phone call from the Quan Family in Yanjing.
Grandma is doing well, Chi Yu could feel it, but transitioning from stranger to familiar family takes time.
Chi Yu answered the call: "Grandma."
"How’s everything going in Sui City lately?"
The greetings and concern from grandma made Chi Yu feel sorry for not spending more time with the elderly lady: "Everything is well here, and you, grandma?"
"Very well, I’m also doing fine." Yu Rujin’s voice carried an undeniable joy, mentioning, "Recently, being idle and worried about you alone in Sui City, I specially came to Sui City today. Do you have time tonight to join grandma for a meal? Grandma wants to introduce someone to you."
The old lady was cunningly perceptive.
When answering the call, she deliberately turned on the speaker.
This way, Gu Yuan could hear Chi Yu’s voice on the other end.
Chi Yu felt troubled and displayed it in his tone: "I’m a bit busy these days. How long are you staying in Sui City, Grandma? If it’s for a while, can we meet up a couple of days later?"
Yu Rujin: "No, we can’t."
Chi Yu: "..."
Beside him, Gu Yuan could hardly suppress a laugh, but Yu Rujin kept gesturing for her to keep quiet, so she remained calm and composed.
It really felt like he was just an outsider, unable to understand anything.
Yu Rujin spoke sincerely to Chi Yu on the phone: "Grandma has met a very nice girl; this girl visits me every year.
She’s the same age as you, looks good, has a good temper, and a great personality. In every way, she’s suitable for you. Grandma likes her very much.
Today, Grandma came specially to arrange for you two to meet and then set a good date.
Look at yourself, you’re not young anymore. You’ve been in Sydney for so many years; you should start planning for your future."
Chi Yu felt a headache growing, but his tone reflexively turned cold: "I don’t have such plans for now."
"Jin, you haven’t even met her yet."
"No need, it’s unnecessary."
"Jin, your attitude isn’t good."
"Grandma, I’m sorry."
Chi Yu’s personality was innate; he wasn’t the real Quan Jin.
The real Quan Jin, according to his character, was supposed to be a playboy, a man moving between flowers and nightlife.
Chi Yu was indifferent to everything except Gu Yuan, showing little interest in any matters.
"Regardless, I’ve already booked this meal. You must come tonight." Yu Rujin’s words were indisputable, even somewhat stern.
Chi Yu still refused.
But Yu Rujin’s next sentence stopped his rejection in his throat. Yu Rujin said, "I think I should look into your affairs in Sui City."
Just this concise sentence made Chi Yu compromise.
The Quan Family was a noble family, and like the surname, held great power.
He didn’t want the Quan Family to threaten Yuanyuan, so he decided to go, just to meet the grandmother and clarify everything that needed to be said.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu realized that many people in the early education center were casting glances his way. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
This was a high-end early education center, and the children here were mostly from wealthy families. At this time, half of the people picking up their little ones were young mothers, and the other half ranged across various ages of fathers.
Chi Yu’s appearance undoubtedly left all the surrounding women unable to move, unable to look away.
"Is this... the brother coming to pick up the little sister?"
"The kids at the early education center are about 2-3 years old, the age difference between brother and sister is quite wide."
"I don’t want to admit he’s here as a dad to pick up a child. Seeing him, I want to divorce my husband. It’s really incomparable..."
"So handsome! It’s killing me why my husband doesn’t look like this."
"If my husband had such a face, he wouldn’t need to take off his socks after work. I’d wash his feet and massage him every day."
"If my husband looked this handsome, I’d lock him up at home every day, to prevent those vixens from stealing his heart."
The male parents nearby: "..."
This was Chi Yu’s first time going to the early education center to pick up his daughter.
Suisui had been sent to the early education center once, but because she was prone to jealousy. Whenever she was jealous of others having a dad while she didn’t, she’d become particularly sulky and didn’t like going to the early education center. She’d cry and fuss about staying at home.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to hire an early education teacher to come home for Suisui.
But Suisui’s personality flaw was too obvious; it wasn’t driving away the teachers, but essentially forcing them to quit. Two early education teachers had already resigned on their own.
The last one had been a while ago. Gu Yuan thought that waiting a bit longer before hiring another teacher might help, but the result was the same.
Just a while ago, the young female early education teacher also quit, almost leading to the incident with Sheng Yi taking Suisui to Xiangxilu, nearly involving President Shi.
Today was Suisui’s return to the early education center.
In the morning, Gu Yuan brought Suisui; in the afternoon, Chi Yu came to pick her up.
The early education teacher handed the little kids to the parents one by one,
"Goodbye, pretty Yao Yao~" A little boy of the same age as Suisui waved goodbye to Suisui before being picked up by his dad: "See you tomorrow~"
Suisui pouted, looking uninterested.
Why did Longlong’s dad come to pick him up?
Longlong lied to her, saying it was his mom who would come!
Liar, liar!
When the teacher got to Suisui, she had a cold and prideful look, not willing to let the teacher hold her hand, instead, she tucked her hands into her pockets: "Don’t touch me."
The early education teacher had no choice but to say to Suisui: "Chi Yao, your dad’s here to pick you up, it’s time to go home."
At the mention of dad coming to pick her up.
The coldness and pride on Suisui’s face instantly vanished, as she looked at the early education teacher with her bright, clear eyes.
Every other child was picked up by their dad.
She didn’t have that.
She wondered if her good friend would come to pick her up~
But even Longlong had his dad pick him up.
The more Suisui thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Jealousy contorted her face, making her not want to talk to anyone.
"Chi Yao."
