Chapter 567: Daughters Are Little Padded Jackets—Nothing But Envy

First of all, Suisui is the daughter of that President Gu, but he had never heard of any connection between Chi Yu and President Gu. If he were to assume that Suisui was Chi Yu’s child right away, wouldn’t he be asserting Chi Yu’s relationship with President Gu?

Moreover, just when he was about to be certain, Suisui personally said that Chi Yu wasn’t her dad, overturning all of Lin Shi’s suspicions.

Combined with Chi Yu’s phone call revealing he has a child...

Lin Shi scratched his chin, faced with a difficult problem; the thought could be deduced from known facts, or from the conclusions back to the conditions.

It is known that Chi Yu and President Gu’s relationship is not shallow.

It is known that Chi Yu is close to President Gu’s daughter.

It is known that Chi Yu has a daughter.

The result could be that Chi Yu, President Gu, and Suisui are a family of three.

If using the conclusion to infer the conditions—

Suisui says she doesn’t have a dad.

The final inferred answer: Chi Yu is the third party!

The third party??!!

Lin Shi continued scratching his chin, and realized this inferred result could indeed be valid.

Who is President Gu? The chairman of a wealthy corporation! Suisui’s existence indicates President Gu is married, so a person like President Gu with such status must have a spouse with a high status, definitely not just a small actor in the entertainment industry.

And Suisui has never called Chi Yu dad.

This indicates that Chi Yu is indeed the third party!

Upon deducing the conditions from the results, the conclusion left Lin Shi both shocked and smug, and he praised himself by saying, "I’m really smart." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The voice wasn’t loud.

But not soft either.

The photographer who recorded the whole process, as well as the surrounding Fu Yao, Lin Xijiang, and Sheng Yi, all looked over.

The closest to Lin Shi was Chi Yu, who also heard him say ’I’m really smart’.

Chi Yu: "?"

Realizing what he had said, Lin Shi looked around seeing everyone staring at him and asked, "What did I just say?"

Chi Yu: "I’m really smart."

Lin Shi: "Thanks for the compliment... hey, why don’t you just quote the original words?"

Come on! Can’t you just play along? Why do you have to cut in on him?

Chi Yu glanced at him: "Did I not say the original words?"

Lin Shi was speechless.

Everyone: "..."

Chi Yu asked: "What were you thinking about just now, so lost in thought, even talking to yourself."

What was Lin Shi thinking... Of course, he wouldn’t tell Chi Yu that he was doing mathematical deductions in his mind, with the final deduction being: Chi Yu is the third party.

Moreover, upon this deduction coming out, Lin Shi found that the way he looked at Chi Yu felt different.

The photographers of the two were tacitly pushing their cameras right onto them at the moment, afraid of missing any exciting second. The other guests weren’t involved, just from the interaction between Chi Yu and Little Suisui, even if not a parent-child relationship, there was at least some very close relationship.

...

Suisui exhibits fickleness in all aspects.

Just after having hogged Lin Shi’s basket for a few minutes, she discarded it, because it was too heavy for her to carry and she couldn’t move, so she pulled on Chi Yu’s pants and called out: "Chi Yu, I don’t want this."

Chi Yu bent down to remove the basket for Suisui.

With the basket off, just as Suisui was about to walk away, Chi Yu called her: "Go tell the uncle who gave you the basket just now that you don’t want to carry it anymore and want to return it to him."

Suisui shook her head unwillingly: "Don’t wanna, Chi Yu, return to the uncle after eating fish, okay?"

Chi Yu: "Not okay. You should handle your own matters."

Suisui turned naughty, dumped the basket and ran forward, but the path wasn’t easy to walk on, and Suisui was small, so each step was difficult. Additionally, due to her neat freak nature, she felt nowhere was suitable to put her foot down.

Thus, having run a few steps away, Suisui stopped in her tracks and turned back to look pitifully at Chi Yu.

In a muffled sweet voice, she implored: "Chi Yu, I can’t move anymore, can you carry me."

When Chi Yu didn’t move, Suisui reached out her hands and opened them asking for a hug.

This is something Chi Yu can’t resist.

Taking the basket, he walked over and bent down to pick up Suisui.

The little one stuck to Chi Yu like she had suction cups on her, once Chi Yu picked her up, she immediately clinged on tightly as if she wouldn’t worry about falling even if she let go.

As they kept moving forward, the basket got filled with more and more firewood, and deeper into the mountains, mushrooms were everywhere to be found. The colors and types were so numerous that almost no one present had seen them before.

Fu Yao saw a palm-sized mushroom, picked it up and asked: "Does anyone recognize this?"

All shook their heads, none of them recognized it.

Sheng Yi walked over, Fu Yao handed the mushroom she was holding to Sheng Yi: "Looks very clean, should be edible, maybe we should keep it and make mushroom soup tonight, mushroom soup is the most delicious."
