20: Chapter 20 Drive Away Gu Zhiqi?
Gu Bo’s face was animated, his mouth opening and closing, saliva dribbling from the corner of his mouth, but not a single word ca out clearly.
“I’m back.”
As Tang Yun spoke, she carried the food over and sat down by the bed, propped Gu Bo up against the headboard, and while wiping his drool with a cloth, she began, “Zhang Xiuli refused to take care of Gu Zhiqi, so I brought her back.”
Gu Bo’s mouth moved in fits and starts, glancing at Tang Yun and then at Gu Zhiqi, looking very agitated, struggling to say sothing, but not a word could he articulate clearly.
Tang Yun didn’t quite understand what he was trying to express and could only guess as she said to Gu Bo, “She is your biological daughter, Gu Zhiqi.”
With that, she also glanced at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi stood by the door, leaning lazily against the fra, with no intention of approaching, her gaze on Gu Bo cool and indifferent.
They say blood is thicker than water, yet Tang Yun couldn’t comprehend how a family could end up like this.
“Won’t you co and talk to your dad?” asked Tang Yun, looking at Gu Zhiqi.
“Nothing to talk about.”
Gu Zhiqi’s tone and the look in her eyes were both lazy and indifferent, with a hint of aloof weariness in her eyebrows; she remained slouched against the door fra without moving.
At her words, Tang Yun fell silent, withdrew her gaze, wiped the drool from Gu Bo’s mouth, then scooped a spoonful of rice to his lips, “Eat.”
Gu Bo’s gaze had remained on Gu Zhiqi the entire ti, eting her deep, hazy eyes.
Suddenly, his expression grew even more animated, his mouth opening and closing, but when the rice ca to his lips, he clamped his mouth shut and began shaking his head madly, refusing to eat.
Seeing this, Tang Yun slightly furrowed her brows, looking perplexed at Gu Bo’s behavior.
Gu Bo jerked his hand in the direction of Gu Zhiqi, trembling violently.
His expression was charged with emotions—guilt, panic, pleading—his countenance incredibly complex.
Witnessing the multitude of emotions brimming in Gu Bo’s eyes, Gu Zhiqi let out a laugh.
“He doesn’t seem very keen to see ,” Gu Zhiqi remarked to Tang Yun with a laugh, free and teasing, “Aunt Tang, I’m going to leave first.”
Tang Yun, thrown off by her form of address and her laugh, nodded subconsciously.
By the ti she ca to her senses, the young girl had already turned and left.
On the bed, Gu Bo was still visibly agitated, his hand fluttering erratically.
“Clang”
Gu Bo’s hand hit the bowl in Tang Yun’s hand; it fell to the floor, shattered, scattering rice all over.
Tang Yun looked at the bowl now turned over on the floor, her expression largely unchanged, as she patiently asked Gu Bo, “Do you want to say sothing?”
The more agitated Gu Bo got, the less he was able to speak, his hand shaking like a sieve, but he couldn’t make out a single word.
“Don’t get so worked up, calm down and then speak slowly,” Tang Yun told Gu Bo with patience to spare.
Upon hearing this, Gu Bo did indeed begin to calm down bit by bit, and although it took a long ti, he did finally settle down.
“Leave…
let her go,” Gu Bo stamred, dribbling saliva while stumbling over his words.
At that mont, as Tang Yun was cleaning up the scattered rice and broken bowl, she paused on hearing Gu Bo’s words, clearly not expecting him to say that, “You want
to drive Gu Zhiqi away?”
Gu Bo weakly nodded his head.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yun’s grip on the broom tightened, and she fell silent.
Zhang Xiuli was heartless, for the sake of wealth, she didn’t care for her own son or daughter, only taking with her the eldest daughter who could bring her benefits.
Tang Yun thought Gu Bo would be different, but to her dismay, he too didn’t wish to care for his own daughter.
