Chapter 114: The Gu Family Heir

Zhang Anru thought she yearned for Chu Zhaoyi’s recognition so much that she was hallucinating.

She couldn’t quite believe the two words she had heard.

Somewhat incredulously, she released Chu Zhaoyi.

Chu Zhaoyi met Zhang Anru’s gaze, blinked, and called out again,

“Mom?”

This time, Zhang Anru heard it clearly. Her eyes, which had just recovered, instantly reddened again, and tears fell freely.

Chu Zhaoyi became anxious, raising his hands in a flustered manner, wanting to cup away the tears falling from Zhang Anru’s face.

Zhang Anru was amused by Chu Zhaoyi’s behavior, and she chuckled.

“Silly A-Yi,” Zhang Anru ruffled the little redhead’s hair. The major concern that had been weighing on her heart seemed to have finally been resolved, and she felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Since Chu Zhaoyi was willing to call her that, he naturally recognized Zhang Anru as his mother.

In his heart, he secretly placed Zhang Anru just a little bit behind Gu Yusen.

He liked this mother.

Zhang Anru was still very emotional and couldn’t calm down. Tears kept falling, and Chu Zhaoyi couldn’t persuade her to stop, so he could only use his sleeve to wipe away her tears.

Anyway, his clothes were already dirty.

While the two of them were enjoying a heartwarming mother-son moment,

Things were different on Gu Yusen’s side.

Gu Yusen was called to the study by his parents.

“San Mu, we plan to record Chu Zhaoyi into the family tree this afternoon, and announce this at the evening banquet.”

“Although the Xie family are his biological parents, A-Yi won’t acknowledge them anytime soon. Naturally, we must show our attitude clearly and tell the Xie family that A-Yi has plenty of people who want him.”

“This way, A-Yi will have confidence.”

“Even if A-Yi accepts the Xie family in the future, it won’t be too late to change it back.”

Madam Gu considered things more thoroughly. Initially, they didn’t understand Chu Zhaoyi’s temperament and only felt sorry for his experiences.

Later, seeing how attentive Gu Yusen was, they knew that this child was good.

Naturally, they would put their hearts into it too.

Gu Yusen guiltily touched his nose and refused, “No, that won’t do.”

“Why? Aren’t you very protective of him?”

Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Yusen’s obviously strange expression. Remembering how his son, who was usually distant from people, took care of Chu Zhaoyi, he felt that something was off.

Madam Gu was more sensitive to such matters, and she had a faint suspicion in her heart.

“San Mu, our Gu family has been passed down through generations. The reason we can be where we are today in A City is due to the efforts of our ancestors.”

“And the Gu family needs an heir.”

Madam Gu watched Gu Yusen’s uncontrollable emotions and spoke softly.

They could not require Gu Yusen’s wife’s family background.

They could be very open-minded and let Gu Yusen pursue his love.

They could also accept the thoughts of modern young people.

They would not despise homosexuality.

But the Gu family’s heir could not be.

Mr. Gu realized something after hearing his wife’s words, and his face suddenly darkened.

As Madam Gu said,

The Gu family needed an heir.

From childhood to adulthood, they had never forced Gu Yusen to do anything he didn’t want to do, but this child was also competitive and outstanding in everything, so they never had to worry.

He and his wife had a loving and harmonious relationship, which had a great influence on Gu Yusen. Naturally, they also wanted him to find his love and not be tainted by the bad habits of those wealthy second-generation kids.

But

The Gu family needed an heir.

Gu Yusen didn’t expect his mother to understand him so well, able to read his feelings from his simple expression.

Even though he had never concealed it from his mother.

He thought his parents were open-minded and had a loving relationship, so they would definitely not disagree with this matter.

But now…
