Rebirth: I Am the Wealthy Family (GL) - Chapter 18

The little girl’s name was Cong Taotao, and she was Cong Kun’s daughter, as everyone in the industry knew. Unfortunately, no one knew who the child’s mother was, and this was one of the three major mysteries in the current entertainment industry. Many entertainment reporters spared no effort to find out who the child’s mother was from Cong Kun, but it remained a mystery.

“Auntie Qianyu, you’re here! Daddy, hurry up and put me down, I want to see Auntie Qianyu. Hurry up, you’re so slow,” Cong Taotao said with utter disdain. Cong Kun had no choice but to smile and put Cong Taotao down. As soon as she was down, Taotao ran toward Chen Qianyu, rushing into her arms, and finally kissed her on the cheek, grinning: “Auntie Qianyu still smells nice, Daddy stinks. I don’t want to play with smelly boys!”

This remark instantly amused everyone on set, including An Xi and Zhang Xi. Both showed maternal affection when they saw Cong Taotao.

“Taotao, how can you talk about your Daddy like that? Daddy will be angry.”

Cong Kun feigned anger, pretending to hit Taotao. Taotao cleverly hid behind Chen Qianyu: “Auntie Qianyu, you have to help me. Daddy always uses violence against me like this. Wuwu, Taotao is so miserable, so pitiful, no one loves me. Auntie Qianyu, I want a loving hug!” she said, burying herself in Chen Qianyu’s arms.

Chen Qianyu naturally hugged her. She had never seen this girl before. It seemed this girl was very familiar with her sister. Even Ah He showed a slight smile when he saw her. Keep in mind, Ah He had a phobia of children and was most afraid of children like Taotao.

“Taotao, come here, let Uncle Ah He hug you too. Uncle Ah He will buy you a Barbie doll.”

Seeing that Taotao was unwilling, Ah He had to resort to bribery. Sure enough, Taotao’s eyes widened, and she looked at Ah He skeptically: “A real Barbie doll? I want the newly released Barbie doll, not the same one as last time!”

“Come, let me hug you, and I’ll definitely buy you the newest one!”

Taotao immediately defected, letting Ah He hold her, and then started whispering other things to Ah He. Soon after, the commencement ceremony began. The director led the principal cast and crew to accept interviews from reporters, did some simple preparation work, and then started filming right away.

Chen Qianyu didn’t have any scenes today. After the commencement ceremony, Chen Qianyu began preparing to leave. They were about to go to Hengdian for location shooting and would film the entire time there, so they couldn’t stay in Shangjing.

“Okay then, goodbye, Uncle Ah He, and goodbye, Auntie Qianyu. Next time, I’ll ask my Daddy to treat you to dinner.”

Cong Taotao waved goodbye to Chen Qianyu, and Ah He squatted down, pinched her little cheek, and smiled: “Yes, we’ll definitely have dinner with you next time. We have to go now.”

It wasn’t until she walked out with Ah He and got into the car that Chen Qianyu asked: “Ah He, don’t you hate children? Why are you so nice to Taotao? Taotao seems very familiar with my sister?”

“More than just familiar. She is your sister’s daughter. You should be nicer to her. Although she doesn’t know, this is a long story.”

Chen Qianyu’s heart suddenly ached: “Ah He, when did my sister have a daughter? Tell me, when? How come I didn’t know? Is she with Cong Kun?”

“No! Cong Kun is a good actor. He is one of your sister’s few male friends in the entertainment industry. He’s gay and doesn’t like women.”

Chen Qianyu was even more confused now, looking at Ah He strangely.

“Then how did my sister have a child?”

“Qianyu, the entertainment industry is not as wonderful as you imagine. Your sister had to pay some price to get to where she is today. It’s impossible to do it without help. Women have no other choice. You might feel ashamed of your sister’s actions, but you cannot deny her effort.”

Ah He obviously didn’t want to continue on this issue, suggesting it was a past too painful to recall. Chen Qianyu realized that she didn’t understand her sister at all. After her sister sent her to study in England, the two of them had been separated more often than together. She actually had a daughter, and she entrusted her to Cong Kun instead of her own sister.

“Sister, why didn’t you give Taotao to me? I’m her biological sister. She would rather give her to Cong Kun, an outsider, than to me?” Chen Qianyu was very angry.

“No! She considered giving her to you at first, but in the end, we thought it best not to. That child is safest with Cong Kun. Qianyu, there’s a reason why your sister died tragically and innocently. I’ll tell you about your sister’s past another day.”

Chen Qianyu fell silent. Her sister had actually been with a man, and even had a child with a man, and then entrusted the child to a male actor she knew nothing about. Why did her sister have to hide all of this from her? Why did her sister have to work so hard?

“No, Ah He, I can’t wait until later. You must tell me today.”

The two had arrived at Chen Qianyu’s residence. As they got out of the car, they heard the sound of an ambulance, and then they saw people carrying a stretcher. The person lying on the stretcher was none other than Gu Mingzhu. Gu Mingzhu was bleeding profusely from her mouth, in large mouthfuls, which was horrifying for Chen Qianyu to see.

“What, what happened?”

Chen Qianyu rushed over without hesitation, and the emergency doctor saw her.

“Are you the patient’s family member? If so, hurry up and get in.”

Chen Qianyu got in with the emergency personnel and sat there. Gu Mingzhu was lying there, still spitting bl00d. The doctor was trying to stop the bleeding.

“Excuse me, what exactly happened to her? She was fine last night?”

The doctor didn’t pay attention to Chen Qianyu, focusing on emergency procedures.

Finally, Gu Mingzhu’s bleeding stopped, and the doctor let out a sigh of relief.

“Did she suffer a major accident before?”

The doctor asked Chen Qianyu directly.

“Yes, she probably did. She was in a car accident five years ago and woke up three months ago. Does that count?”

The doctor looked at Chen Qianyu strangely, suddenly finding the girl in front of him very familiar.

“You, I think I’ve seen you somewhere?”

“Chen Qianyu, the one who played Princess Pingyang. I recognized her instantly, Old Wang, you’re losing your touch. What relation is Chen Qianyu to you?”

A doctor asked curiously.

“She, she is my sister!”

How much Chen Qianyu wished Gu Mingzhu was her sister. They had too many similarities. But sadly, she knew it was all self-deception. Her sister was already dead and would never come back. Fortunately, she found out today that she had a niece, Taotao.
