"He Li, please sit in the middle. I haven't seen you for a long time. As your father, I almost forgot what you look like."

He Yun has three sons in his life. The eldest son, He Mian, has mediocre talent and is now in a vegetative state.

The second son, He Zheng, is an illegitimate child, the son of him and Chen Jiao. He is quite alert, but unfortunately he is short-sighted and will never amount to anything.

The third son, He Li, is He Yun's pride. He is intelligent, capable, and has a sharp eye. He Yun is relieved to leave the He family's future to him.

"Father only said he forgot what I looked like, but does he know what my eldest brother looks like now?"

He Li’s best skill is to spoil the fun when everyone is happy.

"You bastard, do you know how long you haven't been home? Don't think you can speak loudly just because you own a company. Is this how you talk to your father?"

He Quan has a very bad temper and is the type that gets angry easily. Although he dotes on his son He Li, he will never allow anyone to challenge his authority in the He family.

Everyone present was frightened by He Quan's anger. No one dared to speak. Even the youngest He Xiaoyu knew that his grandfather was angry.

He Li stood up and responded to his father coldly.

"I hope you can focus more on your eldest brother. I'll take my leave now."

He Li feels uncomfortable every time he returns to the He family. On the one hand, the miserable condition of his mother and elder brother reminds him of his mistakes seven years ago. On the other hand, the existence of Chen Jiao and He Zheng is ironclad evidence that He Quan has harmed this family.

He Li hates his family and hates himself as well. To him, the He family is just a cage, a place he tries hard to break free from but cannot escape.

Gu Yan had just prepared the ingredients for cooking when several messages came in on her phone.

It was Shen Anan and Jiang Yu. They both sent New Year greetings to Gu Yan, but there was no movement on Jiang Qitian's WeChat.

Gu Yan sent him a WeChat message and made a voice call, but no one responded.

At first I thought this kid would be angry for a week at most, but now it has been more than a month, and he actually ignored Gu Yan.

Gu Yan thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Qitian’s class teacher. The content was very simple, asking the teacher to take good care of Xiaotian and also wishing the teacher a happy new year.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent the message, she received a call from her teacher on WeChat.

After the call was connected, Gu Yan realized that something had happened.

"Student Jiang hasn't been to class for a month. I confiscated his phone a while ago. I didn't expect him to just stop coming to school. I've been trying to contact you, but he said you're no longer family and that you don't want him anymore."

Unexpectedly, this is what Jiang Qitian thought in his heart.

"Teacher, does he have any good classmates at school? Can you give me their phone numbers?"

Today is New Year's Eve, and this child should be at a classmate's house.

Gu Yan now feels a little regretful. How could she be so confident in Jiang Qitian? He is just a child and he doesn't have the ability to survive as an adult.

Fortunately, the teacher quickly gave Gu Yan two numbers, both of whom were Jiang Qitian’s best friends.

After calling the second classmate, Gu Yan found out that Jiang Qitian had come to the imperial capital Jinghai.

"Classmate, please, can you give me Xiaotian's number? Today is New Year's Eve, and he's wandering around alone. I have to find him."

The classmate opposite hesitated for a moment, and finally gave the number to Gu Yan.

"Well, Sister Gu Yan, Qi Tian is the only one left in this world. After you find him, don't say anything like giving up on him."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you too."

After Gu Yan hung up the phone, she immediately dialed Jiang Qitian’s new number.

After a few beeps, the person on the other end finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello." Jiang Qitian's voice came over, with a hoarseness that didn't belong to a teenager.

"Xiaotian, where are you?" Gu Yan's voice was a little nervous. She was actually afraid that Xiaotian would hang up her phone.

At this time, there was no other sound from the other side except the background noise.

"Xiaotian, I know you've come to Jinghai. Can you tell me where you are?"

"No, you don't want me anymore." After that, the phone was hung up.

Gu Yan helplessly dialed the number again, but this time, the other party did not pick up.

Seeing that it was already eight o'clock, Gu Yan became a little anxious. He thought about it and realized that as a boy, he had to survive in Jinghai, and it was New Year's Eve, so there were only a few places he could go.

It's either an Internet cafe or a game hall.

Gu Yan had just returned to her room to put on her coat and was about to go out when she saw He Li coming in from outside the room.

It was snowing outside, and He Li's body was covered with a lot of snowflakes.

Seeing Gu Yan put on her coat, He Li asked with some confusion: "Where are you going?"

Gu Yan didn't intend to hide it from him, so she told him the truth directly: "Xiaotian came to Jinghai. He and I should have arrived at the same time. He hasn't been to school for a long time. I have to find him."

He Li really wanted to refute Gu Yan, but the worry in Gu Yan's eyes made He Li swallow his words.

"Let me go with you to look for it. You can't get a taxi at this time."

Ever since Gu Yan came to the imperial capital, He Li has never seen Gu Yan drive a car. Besides, at this time, he is worried about Gu Yan going out alone.

Gu Yan didn't expect He Li to take the initiative to ask her to go out with him to look for someone. She was grateful in her heart. At least at this time, He Li chose to help her.

"Heli, thank you."

“That’s all he says every time.”

"Then I'll cook you sweet and sour pork ribs."

This was He Li’s favorite.

After Gu Yan got in the car, Jiang Qitian called back. He didn't dare to act like a troublemaker for too long, for he was afraid that Gu Yan would really ignore him.

The two found Jiang Qitian in a high-end Internet cafe in Jinghai.

"Xiaotian!" Gu Yan almost ran to Jiang Qitian's side. Before Jiang Qitian could say anything, Gu Yan slapped him angrily, but Jiang Qitian felt happy.

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to make me sad? How could you skip school? How can you be so disrespectful to your father?"

Gu Yan had a lot of thoughts in her mind on the way here, but when she saw Jiang Qitian, she couldn't help but scold him.

Seeing that Gu Yan was so worried about him, Jiang Qitian finally found an outlet to relieve the depression he had been feeling for so many days. He hugged Gu Yan tightly, begging for mercy.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I swear, I will go back and study hard."

"Only children swear at every turn." He Li looked at the two people hugging each other in front of him, feeling very unhappy, but he had no way to stop them.

"Why is he here too?" Jiang Qitian looked at He Li with vigilance. When the two met, they were like fighting cocks.
