I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 17: “What do you want to do with your child?” (2)

Over on this side, seeing that Gu Shao had a surprised look that crossed his face and then returned back to his cold self and was difficult to read, Lin Xi became nervous. Biting on her lip, Lin Xi said to him, I am not here to blackmail you.

But, girl, your behavior right now certainly looks a lot like it

Thought Xu Fei to himself.

Gu Nian continued to look at Lin Xi coldly, So what do you call this?

I, I just hope that you can raise me. Having said that, Lin Xi quickly elaborated, It wont be long. Just till I am of age.

I wont spend money irresponsibly or cause any trouble. I am very easy to raise. Lin Xis look was very sincere.

She couldnt do much until she was of age and what happened to her in the novel would still happen to her if she stayed with her original family. Then there was also that strange dream. She found the part where Lin Yize appeared at the end very disturbing.

She needed a guardian.

Gu Shao didnt say a word. His calm look was enough to put a lot of pressure on anyone.

Lin Xi was anxious. She asked tentatively, Do you not believe in what I am saying?

How much would you believe in the words of some random stranger who just popped out of nowhere? asked Gu Shao.

Err, not that much.

Lin Xi grumbled to herself.

She then heard Gu Shao went on to say, You and I are not related nor do I have the obligation to raise you. As such, you can go now.

Gu Shao called the building security to take Lin Xi out.

Lin Xi panicked all of a sudden and grabbed Gu Shao by his arm. Im not leaving!

Looking at the child who hung onto him like a koala and her pair of dirty hands that were holding onto him, Gu Shaos brows furrowed deeply and a hint of resentment flashed through his eyes.

Overlooking Gu Shaos look, Lin Xi refused to give up. I am begging you. Please just raise me till I am of age. I wont even spend any of your money and I will repay you in the future.

I will take care of you when you grow old and be by your deathbed. I will hire you the best caretaker and buy you the bet plot for your grave

Gu Shao,

Xu Fei, Perhaps this girl wasnt here to scam his boss. She was here to drive him insane.

That being said, their bosss patience toward this little girl had exceeded what he had seen in the past.

The few security guards stood next to them in a daze, not certainly about what to do.

***

Suddenly, someone else pushed the door open and walked inside.

This was Gu Shaos aide, Chen Zhiyang.

Professor, your ride to LAS Technical Forum in City N is ready. We can leeeeeeeave, um, anytime. Chen Zhiyang was taken aback by the scene inside of the conference room. He looked around, baffled, and saw Xu Fei gesturing him madly with his look.

Em, let me go see if our documents for the technical forum is ready. Having said that, Chen Zhiyang backed out voluntarily and took the dazed security guards with him.

Let go, said Gu Shao again. His voice cold like there was ice in it.

Seeing that her danger had disappeared, Lin Xi let go of Gu Shao and stood there docilely in front of him.

Name? asked Gu Shao.

Lin Xi, no. My name is Gu Xin. Gu as in Gu Shao, Xi as in milkshake. She even gave Gu Shao a fawning smile as she spoke.

Gu Shao,

I have no child, nor do I plan on raising one. Having said that, Gu Shao took a look at the time and walked out of the conference room.

***

Xu Fei, standing to one side, suddenly remembered something when he saw that Gu Shao had left. He ran after him.

Boss.

Follow up on our projects while I am over in City N for the next couple of days. Call me if you have any questions, said Gu Shao.

Okay. I will, said Xu Fei. He then asked again, What do you want to do with the child?

Xu Fei thought his boss would say to see her out, or call the cops. Lo and behold, Gu Shao pondered over it for a couple of seconds and said, Keep an eye out on her for now. Ill take care of her when I return.

Okay His boss meant for him to keep the child around for the next couple of days, right?
