Chapter 280: One Assumption
Gu Zijin had known about what Qin Xiaobai had just said long ago. Before Qin Xiaobai started shooting this new movie, Gu Zijin had already investigated everyone in the cast.
The person who had pushed Qin Xiaobai into the water was He Jun, the little master from the He family. Although he was also a child star, he began his career three years later than Qin Xiaobai.
“Xiaobai, don’t worry. I’ll show no mercy to whoever bullied you.” Gu Zijin said to Qin Xiaobai with a smile.
At first, Gu Zijin had thought that Qin Xiaobai wanted him to punish He Jun. However, Qin Xiaobai shook his head and said, “Daddy, forget about this. If this thing is exposed, the shooting process would be affected.”
Gu Zijin was startled by Qin Xiaobai’s words. Never did he expect that Qin Xiaobai would want to let go of He Jun.
In fact, there were two reasons for Qin Xiaobai’s action. Besides his concern about the shooting process, he also wanted to deal with this by himself. After all, it was not like Gu Zijin could take care of everything for him.
“Daddy, leave the issue to me, OK?” The look on Qin Xiaobai’s face seemed maturer than three years ago.
Seeing Qin Xiaobai being like this, Gu Zijin felt both heartbroken and glad. After he had stayed silent for a while, he finally agreed.
“Still, you have to let Li Cheng stay by your side to protect you. I can only rest assured if you agree with that.”
Because Li Cheng always stayed by Qin Xiaobai’s side to protect the boy, He Jun had sneered at Qin Xiaobai the whole time. Then, Qin Xiaobai had sent Li Cheng back to Gu Zijin.
Hearing Gu Zijin’s words, Qin Xiaobai hesitated for a while. Then he agreed instantly, “Fine.”
Then, Gu Zijin finally got relieved. He held Qin Xiaobai’s little hand and watched the latter’s innocent face.
Although Qin Xiaobai looked exactly like Gu Zijin when the latter had been little, his face changed a bit during the past three years. When Gu Zijin took a close look at the boy, he would find that Qin Xiaobai’s eyes were quite like Qin Muxuan’s.
For three years, Gu Zijin had thought of Qin Muxuan countless times. Never had he stopped missing her, even for a second. As he thought of Qin Muxuan again, the look in his eyes turned depressed.
Actually, when he was in the Li Group today, he had a feeling that he had seen Qin Muxuan. That President Qin’s back was exactly like Qin Muxuan’s.
Also, Qin Xuan’s name differed from Qin Muxuan’s by only one syllable.
Thinking of that, Gu Zijin suddenly felt his heart trembling. There shouldn’t be such a coincidence. He started to wonder if Qin Muxuan had died or not.
He was shocked by his own idea. ‘If she doesn’t die…’
“Dad?” Qin Xiaobai looked to Gu Zijin with a puzzled look. He had called Gu Zijin a few times just now but Gu Zijin hadn’t heard that at all.
Only then did Gu Zijin come back to his senses. Then he hid his surprised look right away. Before he confirmed his assumption, he didn’t want to tell Qin Xiaobai anything.
“What’s wrong, Xiaobai?”
“Dad, my teacher suggested that I should skip a grade and study in the fifth grade straightly.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Qin Xiaobai was in the third grade now. However, he had almost finished learning all the lessons in primary school. So he was even capable of studying in the sixth grade.
“What do you think? If you want to skip a grade, I’ll let someone handle the procedures.”
Gu Zijin cared more about Qin Xiaobai’s thought instead of his own. After all, there were certain things which should be decided by Qin Xiaobai himself.
Qin Xiaobai already had a decision long ago. Then he nodded to Gu Zijin, “Dad, I do want to skip a grade.” He said earnestly.
As a matter of fact, by doing that Qin Xiaobai could have more time to act, which was exactly what he wanted.
“All right. I’ll tell someone to go through the formalities.” Gu Zijin touched Qin Xiaobai’s head with a tender look in his eyes.
Seeing that Qin Xiaboai’s face was still a bit pale, Gu Zijin then said gently, “You should have more sleep.”
Qin Xiaobai did feel a bit tired after having a conversation with Gu Zijin. Then he nodded and closed his eyes.
After that, Gu Zijin stayed by Qin Xiaobai’s bed. After the boy fell asleep, Gu Zijin stood up and walked to the outside.
As he was out of the ward, he called Lisa in the corridor of the hospital.
“Hello, President Gu.” After Lisa had sent those reporters away, she went back to the company to deal with other affairs. Because of the accident Qin Xiaobai had run into this time, the Gu’s stock price fluctuated again.
“Lisa, do you have Qin Xuan’s photo?”
Hearing Gu Zijin’s words, Lisa got dazed at first. Then she remembered who Qin Xuan was. Gu Zijin had wanted Lisa to discuss the cooperation with Qin Xuan. However, Mu Xue had been badgering Gu Zijin in his company every day. He couldn’t bear it anymore and then had given the opportunity to cooperate with Qin Xuan to Mu Xue in order to send the latter away.
“President Gu, Qin Xuan was born in Country M, so there is not any information about her in our country. I’ll search for her information on foreign websites. After I finish the searching, I’ll send you everything I find.”
Hearing Lisa’s words, Gu Zijin nodded. “By the way, Xiaobai wants to skip a grade and study in the fifth grade. Please handle the procedures tomorrow.”
Lisa was not surprised to hear Qin Xiaobai’s decision. After all, according to Qin Xiaobai’s IQ and EQ, she felt that this boy was able to graduate straightly. “Yes, sir.”
After Lisa replied, Gu Zijin hung up the phone. He put his phone back in his pocket and turned around. As he was about to walk into Qin Xiaobai’s ward, he suddenly found a little girl peeking out of the door.
“Who are you?” Gu Zijin walked over and asked the little girl in a cold voice.
The little girl was frightened by Gu Zijin’s voice. As she turned around, she found the man who called her was Gu Zijin. Then she replied in a sweet voice, “Uncle Gu, nice to meet you. I am Xiaobai’s classmate. My name is Lin Qin.”
As that name came out of the girl’s mouth, Gu Zijin seemed to remember something. He knew that there was a little girl in Qin Xiaobai’s kindergarten who was very clingy to the boy. That girl’s name was Lin Qin.
Gu Zijin stared at the girl without saying anything. Seeing that, Lin Qin thought that he hadn’t recognized her. Then she said, “Uncle Gu, Xiaobai and I have been in the same kindergarten, don’t you remember me?”
“I do remember you.” Gu Zijin said in a flat tone.
“Haha, that’s great. By the way, Uncle Gu, how’s Xiaobai doing now?” As Lin Qin spoke of Xiaobai, there was a worried look showing in her eyes.
She was in the same class with Qin Xiaobai right now, but the latter hadn’t gone to school for a long time because he had to act in the film. Lin Qin had transferred to this class because of Qin Xiaobai. Little did she know that she hadn’t even met Qin Xiaobai once after this term had begun.
Since she had already said that, Gu Zijin could only agree to her.
Then he brought Lin Qin to Qin Xiaobai’s ward. The moment the girl got into the ward, she sat on the sofa tamely with her eyes fixed on Qin Xiaobai who was having a sound sleep on the bed.
The quiet look of Lin Qin relaxed Gu Zijin.
After a while, Lisa asked Gu Zijin to go back to the company to deal with some affairs on the phone. Then Gu Zijin could only call Li Cheng over and ask him to take care of Qin Xiaobai.
After Li Cheng arrived at the hospital, Gu Zijin gave some instructions to him and then left in a hurry.
Li Cheng checked his clock and found it was time to eat. Then he went downstairs to buy some food. Since Lin Qin was there, he bought more food on purpose.
When Qin Xiaobai woke up, the person who came into sight was Lin Qin instead of Gu Zijin. He couldn’t help but frown, not knowing what had happened.
“Xiaobai, you are awake!” Seeing him waking up, Lin Qin stood up from the sofa and walked over to the chair beside Qin Xiaobai’s bed. Then she sat down.
“What are you doing here?” Obviously, Qin Xiaobai recognized Lin Qin’s face. However, he never expected that she would be here.
“Because you ran into an accident. I have sneaked out from home to see you.” Lin Qin said that with her mouth curled up.
Qin Xiaobai’s mouth twitched as he heard her words. Lin Qin had been clingy to him for a long time. Never did he know that she would come to find him in the hospital this time.
Qin Xiaobai stroked his forehead, feeling a headache. As he was about to say something, Li Cheng walked in with two bags in his hands.
“Brother Li Cheng?”
“Little Master, you are awake.”
“Where is my dad? Where did he go?”
Qin Xiaobai hadn’t seen Gu Zijin since he woke up, so he couldn’t help but ask that.
“President Gu went back to the company to deal with certain things. He should be back later.” Saying that, Li Cheng put the bags on the table and took the dishes out.
“Wow, there is so much delicious food!” Lin Qin got extremely excited as she saw the tasty food that Li Cheng had brought here. Because she had slipped out from home, she hadn’t eaten lunch yet and was starving now.
“Little Master, Miss Lin, come here to eat something. I don’t know what you like to eat, Miss Lin, so I have bought a lot of things.”
