I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Lin Yize had his plan initially. He was not happy that Zhang Cui had revealed the fact that Lin Xi’s household register had been transferred to Gu Shao just like that. But it was too late to stop her now.

Watching the father and daughter taking off from his place, Lin Yize’s fist tightened and a hint of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes.

At the same time, while everyone was busy with taking are of Song Kexin, who had fainted, nobody noticed the Lin Anxin had returned home early and was hiding in a corner.

Gu Shao placed a call to Wang Wu after he got to the car.

“Sir?”

“Go look into the Zhang Village. I want to find out where did the transfer Lin Xi’s household register to.”

“Yes, Sir,” replied Wang Wu.

Gu Shao looked back over at Lin Xi by his side after he hung up on the phone.

Lin Xi had her head lowered and had not said a word since they left the Lin family.

She was thinking about what she had heard from Gu Shao earlier.

She knew that the Lin family favored Lin Anxin and sided with Lin Anxin.

But she had no idea about the other incidents such as using her as the bait, trying to lose her, or even trying to have her die in an accident.

She was lucky that she had come out of all those unscathed.

Had it not been cops and reporters who had shown up at the perfect time or that Song Kexin had recovered in the end, would she still be sitting here?

The thoughts made Lin Xi felt both lucky and fear after the facts.

Gu Shao had no idea what was going through Lin Xi’s mind. He thought she was sad when he saw her head lowered.

Song Kexin was, after all, her birth mother. Who would not feel a thing after being hated and cursed by one’s own mother that way?

“Don’t be sad.”

Lin Xi was focused on recalling details in the novel when she suddenly heard Gu Shao’s voice coming from above her head. Then she felt weight on top of her head.

It was neither too heavy nor too light. Just perfect with a sense of warmth.

Was it Gu Shao’s palm?

Was he trying to comfort her and make her feel better?

Lin Xi looked up at Gu Shao, surprised. The corners of her eyes were still a little bit red.

She might be really sad in the past and wondered about why her mother didn’t love her. But ever since she found out that she was in a novel that her mother and adoptive father were the male and female leads of the novel, it no longer bothered her as much nor was she sad anymore.

Alright, perhaps just a little bit.

Gu Shao’s palm was still on her head. The warmth coming from him made her want to cry.

Luckily, she was able to stop herself.

Lin Xi cracked her mouth open at Gu Shao: She was not sad.

The was the girl choked her tears back was difficult for one to look at.

“Don’t worry about your household register. I’ll find the family and move your household register over.” Gu Shao made promises to Lin Xi.

“Okay.”

“Thank you, Dad.” Lin Xi gave Gu Shao a sweet smile.

The father and daughter duo were met with Aunty Mei’s concerning look when the reached home.

“Sir, Young Miss, how did it go? Did everything go well?”

Lin Xi gave it some thought. Not wanting to make Aunty Mei worry about her, she nodded and said, “It went alright. They had transferred out household register out previously already, to the village. All we need to do is to transfer it out from there.”

“Oh, good.” Aunty Mei nodded but grumbled to herself: Exactly how much did that family dislike Lin Xi? Why else would they transfer her household register to the village? Had they not considered her education, examinations, and career in the future?

“It’s fine. It’s fine. We will move our Xiao Xi’s household register to the Gu’s,” said Aunty Mei.

Gu Shao, abruptly, added at this time, “Move under me.”

Lin Xi was taken aback a little. She didn’t quite understand the difference between the two.
