Chu He suddenly laughed and swiftly boarded the plane, her posture stiff and determined!
…
Two days later, the fleet responsible for the evacuation docked at the harbor.
Gu Jinglian and Chu He brought Linxi to stand in the line and prepared to board the ship.
When the team came to them, they were stopped.
“Who is this child?”
Because they did not have passports, there was a limit to the number of people who could evacuate. The fleet had braved the crossfire to evacuate them. The load capacity was limited, and those who were not from their own country were prohibited from boarding.
Linxi was instantly nervous and clutched the corner of his shirt in embarrassment. How could he have forgotten?
He was born in North Africa. To be precise, he did not have a Chinese passport.
But his father and mother did. Back then, his father and mother had intended to take him away from here. Only, he eventually lost his parents and that lost him the right to board the ship. Linxi suddenly looked forlorn.
Chu He hugged him tightly and said to the embassy’s person-in-charge, “This is my son!”
“Your son?”
“Yes! His father and I came to North Africa to do business. The child was born there! When this war broke out, we had planned to bring the child home and continue to develop our business back home! Why, is there a problem?”
Gu Jinglian chimed in, “This is our son, Gu Linxi. He doesn’t have a passport, but the situation is special. Please make an exception.”
Linxi was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Chu He and Gu Jinglian in disbelief. He felt as though he was suddenly drowning in the warmth that was overflowing from his heart!
“Alright, you may board!”
Gu Jinglian held the back of his head and reminded him, “Linxi, aren’t you going to thank Uncle?”
“Thank you, Uncle!”
Linxi thanked the man obediently and the three of them finally boarded the ship.
Generally speaking, there were many diaspora refugees in the fleet, hence many beds were needed. Normally, a bed could fit one person, but now, no one was allowed to lie down. Three people were allocated to a bed and they had to be acmodated in a sitting position.
However, Chu He was too tired. The three of them were exhausted, especially Linxi, given that he was still a child with limited stamina.
Gu Jinglian somehow manipulated the crew into giving them a single room. There were two beds in the single room, and the three of them would stay there for a few nights.
Returning from North Africa to the Capital, they had to make a stop at Victoria Harbor.
On the ship, Gu Jinglian contacted Butler Fu through the phone and informed him that the three of them had safely boarded the return fleet.
Butler Fu almost cried tears of joy!
“Old Master, how is Chu He?”
“Chu He is fine, she sustained some injuries!”
“Is it serious?”
“It’s a little serious, but for now, we can only hold on until we return home.”
Butler Fu was worried but happy! For the past few nights, he had not been able to sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, constantly worrying that Gu Jinglian and Chu He would meet with some accident in North Africa.
If anything were to happen to Chu He because of Gu Jinglian, he would definitely blame himself! More than that, he wouldn’t know what to tell Baby Chu! He had been hiding this matter from Baby Chu all along!
However, now that Gu Jinglian and Chu He were returning safely, it was a huge worry off his mind!
“Old Master, please take good care of Chu He! After all, she suffered a lot to look for you!”
“I don’t need you to teach me! I’ll take good care of my woman. You don’t have to worry about it.”
That was Gu Jinglian’s usual arrogant style and tone. However, Butler Fu did not feel aggrieved at all to hear this and instead felt gratified!
Old Master had finally learned to care for someone else!
This was a good thing.
