Gu Susu went downstairs to the dining room and saw a table full of dishes, but she had no appetite.
Chen Ma brought the stewed chicken soup and placed it in front of her, smiling, "The young madam and young master are working so hard, are you trying to have another child to accompany the young master?"
Gu Susu's heart ached, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to disappear into. Everyone in the villa probably thought she and Qin Tianyi were in love and didn't know the truth.
She lowered her head and said, "No." Suddenly, she looked up and asked Chen Ma, "Where is Xiao Xingxing? Did he go to kindergarten?"
"Young Madam, don't you know? The young master sent the young master to a closed training camp. He will be back after a week of training."
"What training camp?" Gu Susu asked, her face turning pale with shock.
"I heard the young master say it's called 'Little Wolf Cub Training Camp,' similar to military training, which can train a child's mind, body, and physique."
Gu Susu clenched her fists tightly, her heart aching. "He's only four or five years old, how can you send him to a closed 'Wolf Cub Training Camp'? What if he gets hurt?"
Chen Ma chimed in, "Yes, yes! When the young master told me, I also disagreed. But the young master heard it and said he was willing to go. He also said he wants to be a man and protect the young madam when he comes back. So... I couldn't stop him."
Hearing Chen Ma say this, Gu Susu felt even more distressed. She wondered how Qin Tianyi had coaxed Xiao Xingxing into thinking the 'Wolf Cub Training Camp' was so much fun.
Being pushed around like in military training, how much hardship would Xiao Xingxing have to endure inside? Could he handle it? Would he cry every day in the training camp, sadly looking for his mother?
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. She picked up her phone and called Qin Tianyi, but he didn't answer.
She just wanted to tell him that she was willing to be treated like a pet, willing to be humble and without dignity, as long as he brought Xiao Xingxing back from that training camp immediately. She didn't care how he tormented her, but he shouldn't torment her child!
Chen Ma saw her unease and anxiety and comforted her, "Young Madam, don't worry too much. The young master wants to train the young master, and he should care about the young master's situation inside. The young master will be fine."
"It's not like that! He doesn't care about Xiao Xingxing, he just, just treats Xiao Xingxing as..."
Before Gu Susu could finish speaking, Xiao Mei walked over and whispered a few words in Chen Ma's ear. Chen Ma's expression changed, and she said in a low voice, "Just tell her the young master is not here and let her leave."
Xiao Mei nodded and walked out of the dining room.
Gu Susu saw her heading towards the main entrance and quickly asked, "Chen Ma, what's wrong? Who came looking for Tianyi?"
Chen Ma avoided her gaze and said, "It's nothing, probably someone who has a business cooperation with the young master. Why did they come here? Business matters should be discussed at the company..."
"Tianyi isn't here, and you servants dare to stop me and make decisions for Tianyi? Have you rebelled!" Before the person was seen, her voice was heard.
Gu Susu heard a woman's voice approaching. It seemed Xiao Mei hadn't managed to stop her, and the woman had barged in.
The woman who had barged into the villa was shouting, "Chen Ma! Chen Ma! Come out here!"
This woman was yelling at Chen Ma, which surprised Gu Susu. After all, even when Qin Tianyi was present, he spoke to Chen Ma with great respect.
Chen Ma had no choice but to say to Gu Susu, "Young Madam, please eat with peace of mind and don't mind this matter." Then she left the dining room and headed towards the living room.
Gu Susu was quite curious. After Chen Ma left, she also stood up and followed her to the hall.
A slender figure stood in the center of the hall, reprimanding Chen Ma with a very displeased tone.
Gu Susu recognized this woman. It was Shu Yan, who had attended the press conference with Qin Tianyi.
She hid in a corner, not wanting to face Shu Yan directly. But seeing Shu Yan treat Chen Ma so mercilessly, like the mistress of the house, questioning why Chen Ma dared not let her in.
Gu Susu couldn't stand it. Chen Ma was an elderly person, and she was kept here to take care of Qin Tianyi out of deep affection. Qin Tianyi also treated Chen Ma like family.
Unable to watch Chen Ma being bullied like this, she walked towards Shu Yan and asked impolitely, "Who are you? How dare you yell here, please leave!"
Shu Yan looked at her in surprise and saw that she was wearing a homey pajama set and fluffy slippers. She didn't look like a servant here, so she retorted, "Who are you? Why are you living here?"
Gu Susu wanted to say she was Qin Tianyi's wife, but realizing that she and Qin Tianyi were divorced, she couldn't answer for a moment.
Shu Yan looked at Chen Ma again and pointed at Gu Susu, saying, "No wonder you wouldn't let me in. So Tianyi... he's hiding a woman. Who is this woman! Tell me!"
She roared at Chen Ma, who immediately shielded Gu Susu and said politely, "Miss Shu, this is the young madam. What business do you have with the young master? If it's business, please go to the group to find him. Don't disturb our young madam's rest."
Shu Yan froze completely, her hand pointing at Gu Susu trembling slightly, "She, just her... she's worthy."
Gu Susu pushed her hand away and said calmly, "I think Chen Ma has said enough. You are not welcome here, please leave."
Shu Yan came back to her senses and, not to be outdone, waved the document bag in her hand and said, "I'm here to see Tianyi about an urgent matter, concerning whether his Aoxiang Group can win this bid."
"Oh." Gu Susu curled her lips and said, "He's not home. Since it's business, you should go to the group to find him."
"I went to Aoxiang, but he wasn't in his office. No one knows where he is right now."
Gu Susu chuckled dryly, "Then you should go back and wait for his news. You ran all the way here to scold his people, as if this were your own home!"
"You..." Shu Yan was about to lash out at Gu Susu when she suddenly restrained herself and said unhurriedly, "Don't think that just because Qin Tianyi lets you stay here, you are the mistress of this house. He told me that when he was delirious, he was forced to marry you, and later you ran off with some other man. Letting you stay here now is just to use you, your body."
Gu Susu didn't understand and asked, "What body?"
Shu Yan leaned closer to her and whispered with a laugh in her ear, "He told me he would find someone to help me give birth, and when we get married, he'll give me a child to compensate for my deficiency. I think he must have thought about it carefully. Instead of finding strangers outside, it's better to find you. After all, you were married once. You look pretty good, so I'm at ease with you. The child born should not be too bad."
Gu Susu felt a tightness in her chest and asked, "You can't have children?"
Shu Yan smiled without answering, glanced at her abdomen, and asked, "Is there any movement?"
