Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Third Brother Who Wants to Beco Little Taotie
Gu Yixing found a mont to himself and slipped into a spot out of the cara’s view to make a call.
Cheng Guodong looked at the caller ID on his phone and was sowhat surprised.
Little Taotie always needed soone to look after her on the show, so Cheng Guodong had t privately with Gu Yixing to ask him to look after Little Taotie. Gu Yixing was quite nonchalant, saying that even without his request, he would have taken care of Little Taotie.
At that ti, he had handed Gu Yixing his business card, telling him to call this number if there was anything he needed.
Cheng Guodong thought that considering how cool Gu Yixing acted, as soon as he left, Gu Yixing would toss the business card aside and not take it with him.
Now that he saw this number, it seed that Gu Yixing had taken the card after all.
Cheng Guodong answered the call, “Top Gu, hello.”
“Hello.”
Cheng Guodong raised an eyebrow. He’s being this polite?
“I’m calling you because I want to talk about Little Taotie’s foster parents.”
Cheng Guodong’s face darkened, and his voice grew deeper, “They don’t deserve to be Little Taotie’s foster parents.”
“Then let rephrase it as ‘the couple from the mountains.’
“That’s fine,” Cheng Guodong’s tone softened slightly.
“Chairman Cheng, I know you love Little Taotie dearly and have been working hard to protect her, but have you ever considered that those two people have beco an indelible shadow in Little Taotie’s heart?”
Cheng Guodong sighed.
How could he not know that?
The child was young, but she was precocious.
The mountain mom’s frequent scolding and hitting was sure to leave a mark.
So people need a lifeti to erase the shadows of their childhood.
“I’ve been working hard to make her happy, to forget everything about the mountains.”
“I know you’ve worked hard, Chairman Cheng, but have you ever thought about what might happen if they get out of prison one day…”
Gu Yixing didn’t finish his sentence, but Cheng Guodong understood the implication.
Cheng Guodong took a deep breath, “I won’t let them find her.”
“So you an to say that you’ve already visited the two in prison and threatened them?”
Cheng Guodong was taken aback, “I was just thinking that when they get out, I’d instruct Little Taotie’s bodyguards not to let those two near her.”
“Living in happiness, Chairman Cheng, you’ll never understand how filthy those who crawl out of the mire can be.”
“What do you imply?”
“So people don’t understand restraint unless you threaten them and scare them witless.”
Cheng Guodong was silent for a long ti, his voice hoarse, “I understand, I’ll send soone.”
“There’s no need for that, I can do it.”
“You?”
Cheng Guodong was surprised, “Why should you wade into this ss? If people found out, your reputation…”
“I hear you like the idea of sworn siblings?”
Cheng Guodong was taken aback, not expecting the conversation to take this turn. He chuckled awkwardly, “A second brother and a younger sister, both bonded with by fate.”
“Little Taotie and I are bonded by fate. Now, I wonder if I might be considered similarly bonded with Chairman Cheng?”
“What are you getting at, Top Gu?”
“Oh, it’s just that ‘Top Gu’ doesn’t sound very nice to my ears. I was thinking of having Chairman Cheng call sothing else.”
“Another na?”
Gu Yixing laughed quietly, “How about… Third Brother?”
Cheng Guodong: “…”
Not hearing a response, Gu Yixing stopped laughing, his expression becoming serious, “Would you consider it, Chairman Cheng?”
“I might not co from the best background, but I worked hard and had so luck. I went from an agency’s talent to becoming the biggest shareholder of the company. I also invested in many businesses and hold significant shares. While my wealth may not match yours, Chairman Cheng, it’s not insubstantial either.”
After a long silence, Cheng Guodong finally spoke up, “What is your end goal?”
“I simply want to beco Little Taotie’s Third Brother.”
