Because she was going to appear on the show soon, she applied all sorts of expensive skincare products to her face. That way, if she cried and her tears ruined her make-up, no one could ridicule her for being old on camera. Holding back her tears, Yu Jiaojiao sat upright before asking her housekeeper, “Where is the Young Master?”
She hadn’t seen her darling in a day. Yu Jiaojiao missed her son.
The housekeeper replied, “The Young Master hasn’t returned yet!”
“What?” Yu Jiaojiao straightened up in surprise and looked up at the antique wall clock.
It was already 10 at night!
But Gu Tingwei wasn’t back yet??
Yu Jiaojiao angrily called Du Hang. “Du Hang, where is my son? Don’t tell me that he’s still at the laboratory. You better believe that I’ll skin you alive!”
Du Hang hastily explained, “Madame, the Young Master…”
Gu Tingwei enjoyed hanging out in the laboratory. Who would dare to shoo him out?!
Yu Jiaojiao screamed, “Bring the Young Master back right now, at this instant! You can even knock him out and carry him back!”
It was all Gu Yuanzheng’s fault. He was nothing more than a giant pig trotter.
Before Gu Tingwei turned one month old, Gu Yuanzheng had carried him into the Gu Cooperation’s mysterious Core Technology Research Lab.
From that day onwards, the laboratory became Gu Tingwei’s playground.
All those eccentric researchers, who never saw a trace of sunlight all year long, were especially fond of him.
Hence… Yu Jiaojiao’s darling grew up to become abnormal
Handsome since childhood, he was also a social recluse with an eccentric personality. Even his hobbies were different from normal people’s. He constantly spoke of concepts that Yu Jiaojiao could never make sense of.
Gu Tingwei was only seven years old!
At this rate, her son would never live a normal life.
Yu Jiaojiao considered herself to be an especially outstanding woman. She simply couldn’t let her only son Gu Tingwei ruin himself like this.
Hence, Yu Jiaojiao resolved to bring Gu Tingwei onto the variety show.
Although all the influential elders in the Gu Family didn’t like Yu Jiaojiao making public appearances, fortunately, Gu Yuanzheng had the final say in the family.
Yu Jiaojiao had waited for a moonless, windy day… Oh, wait. Rather, she’d waited for a romantic night when flowers bloomed under the moon.
After changing into a seductive nightgown, she prepared a candlelit dinner. Then, she tricked Gu Yuanzheng into drinking two glasses of liquor before giving it her all and satisfying her husband in bed!
After the deed, Gu Yuanzheng reclined against the head of the bed and smoked a cigarette, his face full of regret. However, he still expressed definitively:
As long as Gu Tingwei was willing, he would give his full support!
No matter how much of an oddball Gu Tingwei was, he was still her son. Would she be able to make him submit to her?
As Yu Jiaojiao brooded over this, Du Hang brought Gu Tingwei home.
The research project was almost completed, and he had to be dragged back forcefully by Du Hang. Gu Tingwei was in an extremely bad mood, and his complexion was worse than normal. He had a gloomy expression on his face, and he was on the verge of lashing out at any moment.
Du Hang nervously sent Gu Tingwei home before quickly slipping off.
Yu Jiaojiao followed Gu Tingwei into his bedroom and tried to make small talk. “Weiwei, do you want any supper?”
Gu Tingwei removed his suit jacket and hung it on the clothes rack. “No need.”
Yu Jiaojiao observed Gu Tingwei’s mannerisms—
The seven-year child had unexpectedly arranged his cloakroom like a museum…
He had organized everything by category, and nothing was out of place. He had even ordered his clothes by color, from dark to light… Everything was exceptionally neat!
There was also nothing in the room that children in his age group were typically interested in, such as action figures…
Yu Jiaojiao was about to sit on Gu Tingwei’s bed when she realized that there wasn’t a single crease on this child’s bedsheet. It was exceptionally sleek and smooth, as though no one had ever slept in it!
The corners of her lips twitched. Then, she stuck her bottom out awkwardly and shifted onto the chair off to the side.
Gu Tingwei had the habit of reading for half an hour before he went to bed.
He ignored Yu Jiaojiao and sat in front of his desk. Then, he opened up his thick copy of “Origin of Species” and became absorbed in reading it.
Yu Jiaojiao: “…”
