CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 235 OUTBURST 1

"I’m cheap?" Ji Su scoffed, "Aren’t you also playing the role of a Doctor? And quite devotedly at that? If not, how could you have driven Bei Ran away?"

Gu Yucheng watched her desperate attitude. He was now in a total mess—on the business front and at work, he was caught in a bitter rivalry with Gu Qingchen, and in his personal life, Ji Su was causing him trouble.

He didn’t look at Ji Su again but turned and walked away.

The next day.

Early morning papers read: Scandal of an affair involving a young lady from a wealthy household, embracing a popular actor intimately.

The alcohol’s effect on Ji Su had also worn off. She tore up the newspaper with one hand, then made a call to the press, "Can’t you track down who’s behind this mischief?"

"No clues." replied the person from the press.

Ji Su was not someone to be trifled with either. She immediately made a call to Bei Ran.

Bei Ran was lying on the sofa enjoying the view, answering the call, "Hello..."

"Bei Ran, you’re still in City A!" Ji Su said gracefully, "Does Daddy know you’re here?"

"If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about what I’m up to; you should think about yourself instead!" Bei Ran grabbed a cushion to support her lower back, "First think about how you’re going to deal with your scandal among the elite!"

"It really was you!" Ji Su remembered seeing Bei Ran in the elevator of the restaurant yesterday. Putting pieces together, it must be her! "Did you like the photo on the Ferris Wheel?"

Bei Ran’s heart tightened, the Ferris Wheel incident involved her and Gu Qingchen. Even though it was something from the past, it still irked Bei Ran greatly.

"Bei Ran, you should know, I am Qingchen’s ex-girlfriend..." Ji Su continued, "We were very much in love..."

Bei Ran smiled lightly: "As you said, it’s all in the past. Now you are Gu Yucheng’s wife. Do you think he can tolerate your infidelity? Mrs. Gu, I wish you luck!"

Bei Ran hung up the phone and then called Zhuo Yufeng.

"Can we push out a piece of news saying that I am doing quite well teaching in City X?" Bei Ran told him.

Zhuo Yufeng nodded, "No problem."

Zhuo Yufeng asked the IT department to send an email to Gu Bohan’s inbox.

After seeing the morning papers, Gu Bohan called Gu Yucheng and Gu Qingchen in.

"Qingchen, did you do this?" Gu Bohan asked bluntly.

Gu Qingchen disdainfully did not answer.

Instead, Gu Qingchen stood up and left.

Soon after, Ji Su arrived.

She immediately said, "Dad, it must be Bei Ran retaliating against you! She deliberately tarnished the reputation of our Gu Family!"

"Hasn’t Bei Ran already left City A?" Gu Bohan had received no news of her.

"But she can come back!" Ji Su hurriedly said.

At that moment, Gu Bohan’s phone rang. It was a call from the bodyguard he had sent out, "Mr. Gu, I’ve sent a photo of Bei Ran’s recent activities to your inbox."

Gu Bohan checked his inbox, there was a photo of Bei Ran teaching at a school in City X.

Gu Bohan hung up the phone and looked at Ji Su, "Now that you’ve married into the Gu Family, you should behave responsibly. I do not want to see such incidents happen a second time."

"But, Bei Ran she..." Ji Su immediately tried to protest again.

"I’ll handle her affairs," Gu Bohan gestured for them to leave, "Yucheng, I hope you will focus on the Gu Group and not on domestic issues. If you find this wife unsatisfactory, you are free to change her at any time!"

"Dad, I understand." Gu Yucheng and Ji Su walked out.

A bar somewhere.

Zhuo Yufeng had his foot planted on the chest of a man in black. Allegiance is but a matter of price for betrayal!

"Zhuo sir, can you let me go now?" he said, "I did as you asked, emailed Mr. Gu’s inbox, and he certainly believes Ms. Bei is truly teaching in City X."

Zhuo Yufeng let him go, "The wise adapt, off you go!"

Of course, he didn’t forget to send an email to Gu Qingchen.

Upon seeing the photo in the inbox, Gu Qingchen indeed hadn’t been to the lakeside villa for a few days. But really, had Bei Ran gone to City X? Everything he did, Mrs. Gu, was for her!

He dialed her mobile phone. Bei Ran was sleeping with her phone on silent mode, so she didn’t hear it.

When she woke up later, she suddenly felt an urge to visit the kindergarten, if only just to peek at the child quietly!

Thus, she drove to the kindergarten.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingchen went to the kindergarten to pick up Little Fish. Seeing her father come to fetch her personally made Little Fish extremely happy.

"Daddy..." In the sunset glow, father and daughter embraced tightly, Little Fish jumping into Gu Qingchen’s arms.

And Gu Qingchen lifted his daughter, "Alright, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Little Fish crinkled her little nose, "The food at home isn’t yummy, I want to eat out, I want to drink cola, I want desserts..."

"Aren’t you afraid of getting chubby?" Gu Qingchen teased her.

At this moment, the little fish used the reflective glass as a mirror to look at herself and said, "Wow, now that I’m skinny, with a little chin, I’ll soon become an unparalleled beauty! Yeah, daddy, now that you mention it, I’m really torn. Should I drink cola and eat sweets or not?"

Gu Qingchen gently tapped her little nose, "Up to you!"

The father and daughter were cheerful under the sun, presenting a harmonious and warm scene.

Bei Ran, through the car window, saw this and felt warmth in her heart.

But she never thought that there would come a day when she had to secretly watch her child, the child she gave birth to.

In the school, Ji Su also came to pick up Gu Yaowan.

The mother and daughter held hands, meeting Gu Qingchen and the little fish.

"Qingchen..." Ji Su approached, "Are you picking up the child from school?"

Gu Qingchen nodded indifferently.

"Wanwan, come and call out to your great uncle!" Ji Su said to her daughter.

Gu Yaowan looked at her mother: "Mom, great uncle and dad look very similar!"

"They are brothers, of course they look alike!" Ji Su said gently.

Gu Yaowan nodded: "I also look a bit like dad..."

"Um, you’re even more alike in temperament!" Ji Su huffed lightly.

When Gu Qingchen went to pick up the elder "fish" for a meal together with the little one, Ji Su pulled her daughter into the car!

She drove her car outside, not far from Bei Ran’s car, and then she drove in front of Bei Ran’s car, and rolled down the window.

Due to the gossip this morning, it did not cause too much of a sensation; the Gu Family immediately suppressed the news.

At this moment, Ji Su gazed at Bei Ran, who had tears in her eyes, thinking that it was quite remarkable that she was able to deceive the old man Gu into thinking she was teaching in X City.

However, Ji Su did not forget to provoke her again!

"Bei Ran, have you noticed that my daughter actually looks like Qingchen?" Ji Su’s voice was not loud, but loud enough for Bei Ran to hear.

Bei Ran wiped away her tears at this point, knowing that she couldn’t come to see the children because she couldn’t control her emotions.

She didn’t know whether the elder and younger "fish" had resumed school life, as her visits were always painful yet joyful.

But, seeing Gu Qingchen and the little fish smiling happily in the sunlight, she still felt the pain was worth it.

It’s just that Bei Ran hadn’t expected to run into Ji Su again.

And Ji Su even dared to say that her daughter actually resembled Gu Qingchen?

In reality, the extent of Gu Qingchen and Ji Su’s relationship was never discussed by Gu Qingchen.

So, apart from these two people involved, it’s likely that no outsiders know the true nature of their relationship!

Bei Ran stared at Ji Su, "Your current identity is that of the second Mrs. Gu. If you truly like Qingchen, then go after him openly! What’s the use of saying these things in front of me?"

Ji Su’s face turned ugly, she just couldn’t accept it!

Six years ago, she and Gu Qingchen were so close, so why, six years later, did he abandon his medical career for this Bei Ran!

"Do you want to see the DNA report of Wanwan and Qingchen?" Ji Su threw out a bombshell this time!

A DNA report?

Bei Ran replied with a playful look, "Sure! Send it to my email, I’ll have a good look at it!"

On the matter of DNA reports, Bei Ran had already suffered losses in this area. Tang Yanran had tampered with the DNA reports of the elder and younger "fish" without Fang Zimo’s knowledge.

No matter if the child of Gu Yaowan now was from Gu Qingchen or Gu Yucheng, such DNA could not be trusted!

Thus, when Ji Su provoked Bei Ran with the DNA report, she did not hesitate to accept it.

Ji Su didn’t expect Bei Ran to accept it so readily and angrily drove away!

Although Bei Ran said nothing on the surface, she certainly had traces left in her heart; she had just chased away one fly, and here came another bigger, repulsively bloated like it had been radiated with nuclear energy.

The following day.

Gu Qingchen went back to the villa by the lake for lunch.

Bei Ran was in her daughter’s room painting, sitting attentively in front of the easel, seriously picking up the brush to paint stroke by stroke.

Gu Qingchen didn’t know she could paint; he stood at the door, the autumn noon sunlight carrying a hint of coolness, casting his tall silhouette into the room.

Bei Ran seemed to expect his return, not minding him and continuing her artwork.

She only painted with her mother when she was a child, but didn’t put much effort into learning at that time and just painted casually.

Her mother also indulged her, feeling her childhood should be happy and joyful, rather than being forced to learn something.

Gu Qingchen walked up to her. She was still focused on her painting.
