“Yes! Grandpa!” Gu Su had always been calm and composed since he was young, making everyone around him feel at ease.

“Shen Chao’s son?” Gu An mumbled. “I remember that he’s the same age as Gu Yu. How old is he? If this is true… how could it be possible? If it was Gu Yu, what would he do? Can he do it?”

Gu An fell into deep thought.

Gu Su kept the jade pendant and said lightly, “Dad, at the moment of life and death, people can force out their potential. Grandpa, I was just about to report this quarter’s briefing to Dad and Second Uncle. Since you’re here, let’s listen to it together.”

Gu Sen nodded. “Alright.”

Gu Sen stepped down as soon as Gu Su graduated from University. Gu An was the Chairman of the Gu group in name, and Gu Nian was the Vice Chairman, but Gu Su was the one really in charge.

Gu Sen had told his children and grandchildren back then, “I’ve dedicated most of my life to the Gu family. It’s my turn to enjoy my old age. Where you want to take the Gu family is up to you young people. I just want to accompany my wife and take care of my grandchildren.”

Gu Su’s personality was more like his, but his two sons were pampered and had always been under his wing, so they did not have any sense of urgency.

Although Gu An and Gu Nian had been deeply shocked by what had happened to the Shen family, they were more attracted to their own company’s affairs. Since the matter had been handed over to Gu Su, they would not interfere and let Gu Su do what he wanted.

…

The first thing Zhizhi saw when she woke up was her mother, who was sleeping beside her. Her nervousness was instantly relieved.

The moment she moved, Han Li opened her eyes. “Zhizhi? ”

She naturally placed her hand on Zhizhi’s head to feel if it was warm. This action was almost instinctive.

“Mommy.” Zhizhi called out softly. This form of address was a little unfamiliar to her.

Han Li smiled as he got up and picked up Zhizhi as well. She buried her face in Zhizhi’s chest and took a deep breath. Her eyes were a little red as she looked at Zhizhi. “Mommy always feels a little dazed. I’m always worried that this is a dream. Mommy used to have this kind of dream, but when I opened my eyes, Zhizhi was gone. Zhizhi, I’m sorry.”

Zhizhi’s heart felt as if a thin layer of rain had fallen, moistening her heart and making it soft.

She reached out and cupped Han Li’s face. “Mommy, I’m Zhizhi. I’m back.”

She tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she pouted and kissed Han Li’s face. “Mommy, I’m really back.”

“Zhizhi,” Han Li held Zhizhi tightly in her arms and once again thanked the gods and Buddhas in her heart.

The mother and daughter were intimate for a while before they got up. Han Li helped Zhizhi change into a set of pink sportswear. Zhizhi stood in front of the mirror and said, a little embarrassed, “Mommy, isn’t this a little too wasteful? ”

Han Li pinched her little face from behind and said with a smile, “Our Zhizhi is so pretty, so you have to dress up nicely. In the afternoon, Mommy will bring you around to familiarize you with the house. Let’s go for a walk, okay?”

“Okay!” Zhizhi happily pulled Han Li’s hand and walked out.

“Mommy, can I cook for everyone tonight?” Zhizhi asked Han Li.

Han Li was stunned. “Zhizhi really knows how to cook?”

Zhizhi nodded and smiled. “It’s true. Zhizhi really knows how to cook! When my sister was sick, she said that Zhizhi must learn how to cook so that she can survive. Everyone has to rely on themselves to survive, not others, and it’s the same for children!”

At this moment, Han Li really did not know what to say. She was both sad and touched. “Then, our Zhizhi will add more food for everyone tonight!”

“No problem!” Zhizhi patted her chest and promised.

Bai Ling came up to her. Han Li said, “I’m going to show Zhizhi around the house. Zhizhi wants to cook for everyone tonight. Go and get the kitchen to prepare.”

Bai Ling agreed with a smile. She bent over and asked Zhizhi, “Young Miss, can you help me make a menu? I’ll see if the kitchen is short of ingredients so that I can buy them.”

Seeing that her mother and Bai Ling were paying so much attention to her, Zhizhi was very happy. She told them all the dishes she knew how to cook. Han Li and Bai Ling looked at each other. For a five-year-old child, Zhizhi knew a lot.

Bai Ling thought for a moment. “Miss, let’s just make two dishes and a soup today, okay? We’ll make two today and two more every two days. This way, everyone will look forward to you making good food for them every day. What do you think?”

Zhizhi’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “Alright!

Han Li also praised Bai Ling and said, “That’s a good idea.”
