Gu Xinzhou clutched the agreement.
Facing her son's innocent urging, she didn't know whether to respond or not.
Just then, Song Zhen's mobile phone rang.
He took it out and answered in front of Gu Xinzhou and her son without hesitation, "Speak."
The living room was very quiet.
Normally, with such a short distance, one would be able to catch some bits and pieces of the conversation, but Gu Xinzhou and McDull heard nothing.
Gu Xinzhou looked at his phone.
She guessed it must be a customized encrypted version.
Subconsciously, she took out her own phone to have a look.
A very ordinary model, costing about 1,500 RMB.
Moreover, she had already been using it for over a year.
She curled her lips, inwardly sighing at Song Zhen's extravagance. The RV was even made of rosewood.
But that made sense; after all, he was now the world's richest man and had the capital to afford it.
Unlike her...
Ever since Dabao's death, Gu Xinzhou had been unable to step out of the shadow it cast.
Both children were born in the year of the pig; Gu Xinzhou named Dabao "Peppa" and Xiaobao "McDull."
She had established a Single Mothers' Alliance in the city where she lived in Italy.
All the money Gu Yibo gave her was spent on social welfare and charitable deeds.
Because that shadow in her heart was lifelong, she would never forgive herself. She couldn't bear the thought of other helpless young mothers experiencing the same tragedy.
Therefore, she founded the alliance.
In four years, her alliance had gradually taken in more than two hundred single moms, helping them through the most challenging and desperate times of their lives.
So she was very poor.
Her car in Italy was rented.
Cassie had given her an apartment, and she even proactively wrote Cassie a note of debt, which Cassie then tore up.
Her income was not bad, since she was a public figure, a news anchor who needed makeup, hair styling, clothes, and spending considerably on raising her children was also a significant expense.
This was also another reason why she went mad with fury when Song Zhen had cut off her work in Italy.
She... was truly poor.
"Are you sure?"
Song Zhen's voice suddenly interrupted Gu Xinzhou's train of thought.
She looked at Song Zhen, only to see him abruptly stand up, tilting his chin up seriously, "Good! Get a complete set of records from her primary physician, and then send them to me!"
Song Zhen ended the call.
He looked excitedly at Gu Xinzhou, "Baby, I've found your mother's whereabouts."
Gu Xinzhou's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at him, "What?! She... she's really still... alive?"
"Yes!"
Song Zhen was very certain!
He stepped forward, placing his hands on her shoulders and bending down tenderly to say, "Don't get too excited.
Because of this matter, Grandma must know.
It wouldn't be right for us to go there like this.
Why don't we talk to Grandma properly and I'll also call Uncle Gu over.
This is a big deal, it's not good to keep it from Uncle Gu.
And..."
Song Zhen turned to look at the confused child and added, "And Baobao is so cute, having been back in the country for so long, it's time he met his grandfather."
Gu Xinzhou covered her mouth, overcome with emotion.
Tears streamed down her face.
She suddenly realized something—
Although Song Zhen wasn't as romantic as she had imagined, not providing her with a perfect love, proposal, or diamond ring and so forth.
He was a man who dealt with reality.
He was always trying to do something, actively working on every little thing concerning her.
In moments when Song Zhen showed his concern for her, she suddenly leaped up and gave him a kiss on his chin, "Thank you!"
