At the same time Butler Fu arrived, this man was hanging on his last breath and being dragged out of the room.

Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows when he saw him. “What brings you here?”

“Old Master, we have some issues.” Butler Fu said vaguely.

“What is it?”

Butler Fu walked to Gu Jinglian’s ear and whispered a few words.

…

Gu Jinglian returned to the Gu residence and went upstairs. He hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door and saw Chu He sitting helplessly by the window. There was a tiny bulge on the bed with a blanket over it. Baby Chu was curled up under it, not moving at all.

This little guy!

Gu Jinglian walked over and sat on the side of the bed. His large palm patted the bed lightly.

A gap appeared among the folds of the blanket. A pair of bloodshot eyes peeked out through the gap. When the boy saw that it was Gu Jinglian, his eyes turned even redder and filled with tears. He felt extremely aggrieved.

Gu Jinglian glanced at him and his tone became gentler. “What’s wrong?”

“…”

“Why won’t you go to school?”

Baby Chu shrank back into the blanket unhappily, not even showing his eyes now.

Gu Jinglian was deep in thought. He looked at Chu He, as if asking what happened.

Chu He confessed, “He refuses to say anything. He started acting like this a few days ago. He said that the other children are avoiding him and giving him the cold shoulder.”

Cold shoulder? Gu Jinglian frowned. He could not figure out why.

At this point, Baby Chu’s choked voice came from under the blanket. “The kids don’t like me… They don’t want to play with me. They’re afraid of me, hate me, and badmouth me…”

Gu Jinglian lifted the blanket and saw Baby Chu curled up on the bed with his arms wrapped around his knees. His face was wet with tears and his eyelashes were clumped together because of the tears. His little mouth was shriveled and he looked extremely wronged! He stubbornly wiped away his tears, but soon his eyes were wet again.

Gu Jinglian could not help feeling bad when he saw this.

He took an open posture and patted his thigh gently. “Come here.”

When Baby Chu heard this, he was initially unmoved. However, after hesitating for a while, he finally crawled up to the man.

Gu Jinglian said, “Let Daddy carry you.”

For some reason, Xiaobao’s nose started to sting even more at those words. Feeling wronged, he completely broke down in tears. He crawled into Gu Jinglian’s arms and hugged his neck tightly.

His hands were wet.

What’s that?

Gu Jinglian frowned. He had a perverse obsession with cleanliness and could tell at once that the boy’s hands were sticky.

His hands were covered in tears.

Then he heard the kid sniffing vigorously…

The man’s frown deepened.

It isn’t just tears!?

There was snot…

All the alarms went off in Gu Jinglian’s head.

When Chu He noticed this, she almost lost it.

It had to be said, Gu Jinglian’s obsession with cleanliness was quite extreme. In the past, there was a subordinate who touched his desk with unwashed hands. When the man saw this he flew into a rage right there and then, and sent for someone to disinfect the entire room three times. The subordinate trembled in fear, afraid that his head would roll.

And now Baby Chu’s hands were wet with tears and snot…

Chu He was worried that Gu Jinglian would suddenly flare up. However, she saw the man holding himself back and breathing deeply.

Baby Chu did not notice Gu Jinglian turning white of course. He hugged the man’s neck tightly and whimpered bitterly, “I don’t want to be hated… Boohoo…”

“…”

“Daddy, they all don’t like me. They won’t play with me.. I don’t know what I did wrong. Why are they doing this to me…”
