Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house
"Ten million? Fifty million?"
“Or a hundred million?”
“As long as you open your mouth, and as long as I think you're worth the price.”
I shook my head.
“My nephew, I have already set a price for you.”
“Plus, it's a lot more than what you offered.”
I clearly recounted the "marriage contract" between me and Co Du Chau to him. Including the fact that we are only in a partnership, including not interfering in each other's lives, and even dividing assets after eighteen years. I don't hide a word. Because I know, in front of such sophisticated people, playing tricks is the stupidest act. Being honest is the only way out. After hearing my words, the old man's face showed surprise for the first time. His eyes looked at me, also from simple scrutiny, but now there were other things.
“You're also…honest.”
“Because you have nothing to hide.”
I said calmly.
"I came to find the Co family, not for money, nor for the position of Mrs. Co."
“I just want to find for myself, and for this baby, a way to live.”
"What is your family's situation? I believe that with the power of the Co family, I have investigated clearly a long time ago."
“I have no way back.”
“Marrying Co Du Chau is my only and best choice right now.”
"I need the Co family to be my support, so I can let go of the past, study with peace of mind, and start my life again."
"As for Mr. Gu, I need you to be his wife, to give his son a complete family, and to stop unnecessary troubles."
“We each have what we need, fair exchange.”
After I finished speaking, the living room fell silent again for a long time. The old man's hand holding the rosary stopped. He looked at me, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking. Just when I thought he was about to get angry. He suddenly burst out laughing. That smile was very faint, but it seemed to melt the ice and snow throughout the room.
“Girl, you're interesting.”
"More interesting are the women who, every time they see Du Chau, they can't wait to take off their clothes and rush at him."
“And also more responsible than the type of woman who gives birth and then runs away.”
The person he was talking about was Hua Thanh.
“Your name is Hua Niem, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Co.”
“You are worthy of our Co family.”
His words were like a thunderclap ringing in my ears. Have you recognized me?
“That brat Du Chau, his eyesight has finally improved once more.”
The old man said that, but he stood up and walked towards me. He carefully took Hua Nac from my arms, inch by inch. The movements were clumsy, but filled with appreciation and joy that was hard to describe in words.
“Good, good, my Co family, finally there is a successor!”
He hugged his great-grandchild, his eyes even a little red. When I witnessed this scene, my heart was filled with hundreds of questions. Is this true love? Feeling of blood and pus in intestines. It's something I've never felt from that couple called foster parents. Just when the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Outside the villa, suddenly there was a deafening sound of arguing.
"Let me go! I'm coming to find Mr. Co! I'm his son's mother!"
"Let me in! Gu Yuzhou! Come out and see me!"
This voice... It's Hua Thanh! How dare she come all the way here! My heart immediately jumped into my throat. Bud The smile on Old Man Co's face also immediately disappeared. He hugged his great-grandson, his face dark and scary.
“What is going on?”
The old butler immediately bowed:
“Master, there is… there is a woman named Hua outside who is making trouble, saying she wants to find the eldest young master.”
“She said, she is the young master's biological mother.”
Just finished speaking. The living room door was forcefully pushed in from the outside. Co Du Chau walked in with a gloomy face. And follow behind him. Hua Thanh's hair is messy, her clothes are messy, and she is being pinned on both sides by two bodyguards. She saw me, saw the baby in the old man's arms. The eyes are red and striped.
“Hua Niem!”
She screamed until her voice was lost.
"You slut! You stole my child! You even dare to seduce Du Chau!"
"What Mom and Dad were right! You are truly an ungrateful wolf that cannot be raised!"
