Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 938: My Papa is Extremely Fierce

Second Old Master Gu and the four Gu Brothers threw the same look at Shen Qianshu.

Shen Qianshu felt so awkward that she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

Tong Hua was really calm. “Zhong Ran, you can’t even hang a painting well. Did it drop again? It’s so noisy!”

Shen Qianshu looked at her son.

Nice one, son. You’re so quick-witted.

Zhong Ran replied. “Yes, Young Master. I’ll fix it right away.”

Fourth Brother said, “Weird. A painting can make such a huge noise.”

“It’s a famous masterpiece,” Tong Hua said.

“Indeed. Super huge famous painting that takes up half the wall. It just got delivered here a few days ago. We were just putting it up today. I guess they’re too clumsy and didn’t hang it well.” Shen Qianshu went along.

She lifted her hand to wipe the beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead.

Second Old Master Gu said, “All of you are really fine?”

“Fine!” Tong Hua and Shen Qianshu said in unison.

“Lies,” Gu Xie said.

“Guilty.” Gu Yuanli added.

“Something’s wrong.” Fourth Brother Gu concluded.

“Speak up,” Fifth Brother Gu asked.

Shen Qianshu said, “Brothers, Pa, nothing’s wrong. Really.”

Tong Hua said, “Yeah, we have been doing really well lately.”

Second Old Master Gu asked, “Why is your medical team in the Castle?”

Shen Qianshu said, “Master had a relapse of his old illnesses. I also wish to observe the object in my stomach and see if it can be retrieved. We were too lazy to visit the hospital, and the medical team happened to have all the necessary tools, so we just decided to monitor my health condition at home.”

Fifth Brother Gu said, “Why is Rose Castle furnished like a hospital?”

Tong Hua said, “Maybe someone often injures himself, and it’s inconvenient for him to visit the hospital.”

That was a really official explanation as a response.

Even Shen Qianshu would believe it.

A strange sound came from upstairs again. It sounded as if someone was growling.

Shen Qianshu was really anxious.

“The painting dropped again?” Gu Yuanli asked.

Fourth Brother said, “Seems like your helpers aren’t very competent.”

“Can’t even hang a painting properly. Let me go up and take a look,” Gu Xie said.

Shen Qianshu stood up immediately and stopped Gu Xie. “No. You guys are only allowed to roam around the first floor. If you want to get into the second floor, you have to come back to Rose Castle again another time. Master would chase all of you out.”

Tong Hua nodded as if that was the truth. “Papa is really fierce!”

Really!

Super fierce, very scary!

“Papa?” Fifth Brother was really sensitive. “Haven’t you always called him Daddy?”

Tong Hua said, “Recently, I felt that calling him Papa sounded nicer.”

They were all speechless.

Gu Yuanli jumped. “Nonsense. Where is Ye Ling?”

“He has something on,” Shen Qianshu said. “He has some work matters to handle in the study room. He’s been very busy lately.”

Second Old Master Gu said calmly, “I have some matters to discuss with him. Can you get him to come down?”

He was really worried about his daughter and also serious about wanting to meet Ye Ling. That was why he came to Rose Castle. The people who were usually steps away from Shen Qianshu were nowhere to be seen this time. That was really strange.

“Pa, tell me what you want to say. I’ll pass him the message later on. He is discussing a very important matter with Ye Tingjun, and he cannot leave at the moment. There are many people at the video meeting.” Shen Qianshu made up the story.

Tong Hua cursed inwardly. Damn, lying through one’s teeth seems to be in the genes in our family.

Second Old Master Gu thought about it. “No way. I have to meet Ye Ling and discuss this face to face.”

“Pa. Another day,” Shen Qianshu said. “Not today.”

Second Old Master Gu and Gu Yuanli made eye contact. They could sense the doubts they each had.

Something’s wrong.

Zhong Ran peeked his head out. “Master has already said that if you have anything to say, it’s the same as telling Miss Shen. Miss Shen’s words can represent his words. Right, he had also said that if you have something to say, shoot. Otherwise, leave!”
