Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Gu Yizhou’s Bewilderment! I’m Actually a Rich Second-Generation?

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou stared, stunned for a moment after reading the message from his mom.

"Us?"

His mom wasn’t coming alone?

He was just about to text his mom and ask what was going on.

Another message from his mom popped up on his phone screen.

Empress Dowager Chen: "I found you a godmother. I’ll tell you the details in a bit."

"Uh..."

After reading this message, Gu Yizhou was completely speechless.

A godmother...

’So, in other words, without me even knowing, I’ve somehow mysteriously gained a godmother?’

’Was she always this reckless?’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou didn’t know what to say.

But since his mom had already said so, what else could he do?

Shaking his head in resignation, Gu Yizhou typed out a reply: "Alright. Let me know before you get here, and I’ll come down to meet you."

After sending the message, Gu Yizhou thought for a moment. They were out of fruit at home; he needed to go buy some.

After all, a guest (his godmother) was coming over. He had to be a good host, right?

With that in mind, Gu Yizhou got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs to buy some fruit, drinks, and other things.

Yan Luoxi watched Gu Yizhou suddenly change clothes to go out, a look of confusion on her face.

’It’s already so late.’

’Where is this dog man going?’

"Meow~"

She meowed at Gu Yizhou, then hopped down from the sofa.

"Hm?"

Hearing the sound, Gu Yizhou turned his head to look at the little cat circling his feet.

She was staring up at him with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yizhou smiled and explained, "Xiaobai, Grandma is coming over in a bit. Daddy has to go downstairs to buy some fruit and stuff."

’Huh?’

’Auntie is coming over?’

Yan Luoxi froze for a second.

Gu Yizhou crouched down, gently stroking Yan Luoxi’s fur as he said softly, "Oh, right, Xiaobai, it’s not just Grandma coming over. There will be other guests too, so you have to be a good girl, okay? No making trouble."

"Meow?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi froze again.

’There are other guests coming too?’

Yan Luoxi was very confused, but she didn’t dwell on it.

’I know!’

’Dog man.’

’I’ll be on my best behavior later.’

Yan Luoxi raised her head, looking at Gu Yizhou with her big, intelligent eyes. She then gently rubbed against the back of his hand, thinking to herself.

"Alright."

"Xiaobai, Daddy will be back soon. You wait here and be a good girl, okay?"

Gu Yizhou smiled, stood up, grabbed his keys and phone, and got ready to leave.

"Meow!"

’No.’

’Dog man, take me with you.’

Yan Luoxi didn’t want to be home alone; she wanted to go with the dog man.

So she let out a cry and reached out with her little paws, grabbing onto Gu Yizhou’s pant leg.

"Huh?"

This time it was Gu Yizhou’s turn to be stunned.

"Xiaobai, what are you doing?" he asked, confused.

"Meeoow~!"

Yan Luoxi cried out to him again.

Then she rubbed against his pant leg once more.

"This..."

"Xiaobai, do you want to come with Daddy?" Gu Yizhou asked.

"Meow~"

’Yes, yes!’

Yan Luoxi responded eagerly.

Uh...

Seeing the little cat act like this, Gu Yizhou was sure she wanted to go with him.

He thought about it. Taking Xiaobai along wasn’t out of the question.

After all, he was just going to buy some fruit outside the residential complex; it wasn’t very far.

Besides, he’d taken the cat with him before when he went out drinking with Chen Dongyuan.

It probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

After some thought, Gu Yizhou said, "Alright then, Daddy will take you out with him."

"But if we go out, you have to be good and not cause any trouble, okay? Otherwise, Daddy won’t take you out next time."

With that, Gu Yizhou reached out and picked Yan Luoxi up.

Then he opened the door, and they left together.

...

「A few minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou arrived at a fruit shop near his residential complex.

He picked out some fresh fruit and a few bottles of drinks, then paid and started walking back with the bags.

As he reached the entrance of the complex, he received a message from his mom saying she was almost there.

Gu Yizhou quickly picked up his pace and headed for the gate.

He wondered how he was going to entertain his mom and this godmother who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

To be honest, he was quite curious about this godmother.

He wondered what kind of person she would be.

Carrying the bags in one hand and the cat in the other, Gu Yizhou arrived at the complex gate.

He didn’t see any sign of his mom.

She probably hadn’t arrived yet.

However, thinking his mom would be there any second, Gu Yizhou couldn’t be bothered to go upstairs first and simply decided to wait at the gate.

...

「A few minutes later.」

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up.

A door opened, and a driver in white gloves got out, hurried to the back, and respectfully opened the rear door.

Then, Gu Yizhou saw his mother, Chen Dongmei, step out of the car.

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

"Mom?" he called out to Chen Dongmei.

"Oh, Son, you’re here?"

Chen Dongmei was also taken aback for a moment.

Seeing that it really was his mom, Gu Yizhou walked over, still holding the cat.

"Xiaohu, thank you for the ride back. I appreciate it," Chen Dongmei said to the driver.

"You’re too kind. It was my pleasure," Driver Xiaohu said quickly.

Hearing this, Chen Dongmei didn’t say much more. "Alright, Xiaohu, you can head back now."

"Understood. I’ll go report back then. Please, don’t let me keep you," Driver Xiaohu said respectfully.

With that, he turned, got back in the car, and drove off.

Gu Yizhou watched this scene unfold, his mind filled with questions.

’Didn’t she say someone else was coming with her?’

’How come it’s just my mom by herself?’

’And another thing!’

’What’s the deal with the Rolls-Royce?’

’Is my family secretly super-rich? Am I a second-generation heir?’

Gu Yizhou’s mind raced with wild thoughts.

But he didn’t notice that the look in Yan Luoxi’s eyes, cradled in his arms, was also very strange.

"Mom, what’s going on?" Gu Yizhou asked after the Rolls-Royce Phantom had disappeared into the night.

"Oh, your godmother got a call on the way. Something came up, so she couldn’t make it," Chen Dongmei explained casually. "That was the driver she arranged to bring me here."

"Uh..."

"Godmother... Rolls-Royce... a chauffeur..."

Gu Yizhou was still reeling in confusion.

But Chen Dongmei ignored her son’s confusion. By now, she had spotted the cat in Gu Yizhou’s arms.

Beaming, she took the cat from him, affectionately patting her little head. "Xiaobai, you’re here too! Grandma came to see you. Did you miss Grandma?"

Chen Dongmei cooed at the cat, her voice full of affection.

"..."

Yan Luoxi snapped back to her senses.

She found herself being held by Gu Yizhou’s mom.

It felt a little strange.

But thinking that this was her future mother-in-law, she didn’t struggle.

"Meow~"

She let out a small cry, then obediently nuzzled Chen Dongmei’s cheek.
