Just because she looked quiet didn't mean that Chunxue could be bullied by anyone. Today's strength was all thanks to the orphanage. In a place where the strong preyed on the weak, if you didn't want to be bullied, the only way was to become stronger.

Soong Yanran's face turned red from the scolding, and she immediately pulled Gu's mother and shouted.

"Aunt Gu, look at this bitch. She starts scolding people the moment she opens her mouth."

Gu's mother patted her hand and said in disdain, "There's no need to lower yourself to the level of an orphan. What kind of upbringing can a lowly child from an orphanage have?"

Although Gu Xiaoning was young, he knew how to differentiate between good and bad. When he heard the two of them talk about his mother like that, his eyes immediately widened.

"Bad woman, you are the lowly ones. I won't allow you to talk about my mommy, especially you. You are so bad."

Seeing Gu Xiaoning pointing at her, Soong Yanran could no longer hold it in. She rushed in front of the mother and son in a few steps.

"You uncultured little bastard, I'll make you talk."

She raised her hand and swung it towards Gu Xiaoning's small face.

Chunxue hugged her son and dodged, but Soong Yanran still did not give up. She turned her target to Chunxue again. Just as her hand was about to hit Chunxue's face, a hand with a diamond wristwatch stretched out from behind her.

Five fingers grabbed Soong Yanran's wrist like an iron pincer and threw her to the side.

"Soong Yanran, is this your so-called upbringing?"

His tall body pulled the mother and son behind him. When they saw who it was, Gu's mother and Soong Yanran's expressions changed at the same time.

"Tingzhou! Why are you here?"

Gu Xiaoning quickly put his phone into his bag and shouted, "Barbie, they're bullying me!"

"She was the one who scolded me first." Soong Yanran also started to act, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Gu Tingzhou did not even look at Soong Yanran. His gaze landed on Gu's mother's face.

"You came here early in the morning to cause trouble. Don't you feel ashamed in front of the child?"

Gu's mother raised her fierce face. "A child is also a bastard, she snapped. Gu Tingzhou, have you forgotten about that Lu guy? From now on, I won't allow you to see Gu Xiaoning again."

Gu Tingzhou's eyes changed slightly, and after a moment, he returned to his previous gloomy expression.

"This is my business. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

He held the child in his arms and said to Chunxue, "Get in the car. I'll send you to kindergarten."

"Tingzhou, stop right there."

Gu's mother shouted angrily from behind.

Chunxue turned around and smiled proudly at Soong Yanran before opening the car door.

Although she and Gu Tingzhou did not have any feelings for each other, she was still very happy to see the two of them being humiliated.

He walked his son into the classroom and came out to find that Gu Tingzhou hadn't left yet.

Chunxue hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Tingzhou turned his face away coldly.

"I just said that from today onwards, the child doesn't need you to pick him up. I'm afraid you didn't hear me clearly, so I came to the branch to inform you."

"That's impossible."

Chunxue's face instantly turned red. Of course, it was because she was angry.

Back then, Gu's mother had said that her child was a bastard, but Gu Tingzhou had never clarified it. Now that the child was old enough to tease people, he wanted to take it away. Why?

Gu Tingzhou narrowed his eyes.

"I'm the father of my child. I have the right and responsibility to raise him."

Chunxue confronted him for a while and suddenly laughed.

She raised her chin slightly and said lightly, "Unfortunately, the child is not related to you by blood. His father's surname is Lu and has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, she slammed the door and got on the bus that had just arrived.

Gu Tingzhou stared at the rearview mirror with hatred in his eyes. His fingers that were gripping the steering wheel once again burst with veins.

Women were indeed narrow-minded creatures. If Gu Xiaoning wasn't his son, would he still care so much?

Chunxue's expression was also quite ugly. The child was her life. If she didn't have a child, what was the point of her living?

After thinking for a while, she called her scandal partner, Lu Cheng.

"Do you have time? I want to ask you something."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I do. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

Chunxue gave him the address and got out of the car.

Ten minutes later, Lu Cheng's car stopped steadily beside her.

"Our big sister doesn't seem to be very happy today."

Lu Cheng got out of the car and knocked on Chunxue's head.

Looking at her little brother, who was now a head taller than she was, Chunxue couldn't help but think of their days in the orphanage.

"Get lost. You're already a lawyer, but you're still not formal. I'm looking for you to ask about the custody rights."

Lu Cheng immediately asked, "What? Gu Tingzhou wants a child?"

"If I go to court, what are my chances of winning?"

Chunxue sat heavily in the passenger seat, her mood inexplicably falling.

Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment and said, "The woman has the ability to raise him, and without any illness or bad habits, the odds are still very high. If you can get a sterilization certificate, the odds are basically 100%."

"Didn't the Gu family say that they wouldn't have children no matter what? Now that Gu Tingzhou's getting married, why would they want to have children?"

"Who knows? You must be having a seizure. Are you busy? If you're not, why don't you send me home?"

With that, Chunxue closed her eyes.

Lu Cheng was her best friend and family. It was because of a photo of the two of them that Gu's mother had made such a big fuss about it. At that time, Lu Cheng was working on a case outside the city, so he didn't know about these things. When he came back, he was divorced, and everything had calmed down. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have asked that question.

Every moment she had spent with Gu Tingzhou flashed across her mind like a film. Even though she had long since given up on this relationship, her heart still ached.

In a flash, they had arrived at the neighborhood. Lu Cheng's business skills seemed to be quite good. He received a call from a consultant as soon as he parked the car. Chunxue didn't want to disturb his work, so she got out of the car after saying a few words.

Chunxue turned on her computer as soon as she got home, but after sitting there for a long time without any idea what to do, she turned it off again.

She believed Lu Cheng's words 100%, but just in case, she felt that it was necessary to get a certificate that proved that she was infertile.

Chunxue had married Gu Tingzhou as soon as she graduated, so she didn't have many connections. In fact, she had no choice but to ask Lu Cheng for help.

As soon as she made up her mind, she sent Lu Cheng a WeChat message. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Chunxue packed up and went to pick up the child. As soon as she arrived at the school gate, she saw Gu Tingzhou's car.

That bastard was actually serious with her.

She angrily pulled open the car door, only to see Gu Tingzhou reading a file on his tablet.

"I'm warning you, Gu Tingzhou, if you touch the child, I'll call the police."

Gu Tingzhou turned his head, and his thin lips were filled with sarcasm.

"Miss Chun seems to like to call the police. Does she think that she can win any lawsuit just because she knows a lawyer?"
