The atmosphere in the office was tense. Everyone could sense that the CEO was in a bad mood.
Li Cheng stood outside the door under the pressure. “CEO, the invitation has been sent out.”
Li Cheng could not figure out why the CEO’s birthday should be such a grand occasion this year. In any case, the CEO had a heavy workload and it was good for him to take a break occasionally. “What’s the Fu family’s reply?”
“They will be attending.”
Chu Yichen’s mood did not seem to improve. “How’s the investigation going?”
“I’ve checked. There’s a high chance that your frozen sperm was stolen a long time ago, but it’s still unknown who did it. It’s very likely the same group of people who planted the explosives in the hotel.”
“Continue investigating!”
“CEO, why don’t you ask Li An’an?”
Just as Li Cheng finished speaking, he saw the CEO’s cold gaze sweeping towards him and he immediately fell silent.
The atmosphere in the office turned rather heavy.
At this point, the hurried clicking of high heels could be heard coming from the corridor. Then, the secretary called out, “Hello, Madam!”
Right after this greeting, Bai Dong pushed open the office door. At a glance, her gaze fell on her son, who had not been coming home recently. If that wasn’t bad enough, there was the fact that he hadn’t even brought her granddaughter back for a visit. Hence, she had turned up in a fit of anger to settle the score with him.
Seeing that Madam was here, Li Cheng bowed in greeting and walked out.
“What brings you here?” Chu Yichen turned to look at his mother.
Usually, she wouldn’t come to the office. She would more often contact him by phone.
Bai Dong angrily placed her handbag on Chu Yichen’s desk.
“You dare ask me? Where’s Baobao? It’s been so long. Where have you taken her? Do you take her grandparents to heart?”
Seeing that she was here about this matter, Chu Yichen spoke up. “I’m taking good care of the child. Don’t worry,”
“But your father and I are not doing well. We can’t eat or sleep well. Our souls are gone. If you don’t bring her home, I’ll go to the kindergarten tomorrow to get her!” She had planned to do that today, but her husband stopped her, so she had come to the office instead.
Chu Yichen pinched his eyebrows. “I’ll bring the kid home tonight.’
“That’s more like it. Don’t be too late. I’ll get the kitchen to prepare the child’s favorite dishes. Since you’ve been taking care of her these few days, has she been starving and losing weight? If the child loses so much as an ounce, I’ll hold you accountable!”
“She hasn’t lost any weight at all, in fact she’s put on some.” Chu Yichen felt helpless when he thought of what a glutton Baobao was. She was not picky with her food and liked sweets. Her appetite was surprisingly good.
“It’s good to be chubby. Children should be chubby and cute. I’ll head home then. Your aunt is coming over for dinner today, just so you know. We can’t sour our relationship too much. After all, she has made significant sacrifices for this family. If it weren’t for your father, she would have married the man she loved.”
Chu Yichen sneered. “That was her choice. She was the one who backed off, and now she’s blaming us for her regrets!”
Bai Dong sighed. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about what happened back then. She’s your aunt whether you like it or not. We’re all family.”
Chu Yichen said nothing.
After Bai Dong left, Chu Yichen continued with his work. In the afternoon, he went to pick up the child.
Li An’an was surprised. This time, Chu Yichen only carried Baobao into the car. “I’ll take Baobao home to have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma today.”
Li An’an was unhappy, but she agreed. Chu Yichen’s parents liked Baobao very much, so there was nothing she could do.
Chu Yichen looked at Junjun and Jùnjùn. “Do you want to come along?” he asked with anticipation..
