Gu Yinshen bent down to look at Mengmeng.

"Daddy!" Mengmeng called out sweetly.

Judging from her voice, she didn't seem affected. But a closer look at her expression revealed that she was still influenced by Ruolan.

"Mengmeng, Mommy doesn't dislike our Mengmeng anymore, it's just that she's temporarily..."

"Dad, I understand."

Mengmeng interrupted Gu Yinshen.

My older sister isn't used to life back home; she's unhappy and uncomfortable, which worries our mother. Just like when she first arrived at the Gu family home, she worried that no one would like her and that she wouldn't be accepted.

However, what she didn't quite understand was why her sister was still rejecting her, even though she welcomed her back.

Thinking of this, Mengmeng was like a wilted eggplant, standing limply in place.

Gu Yinshen was heartbroken and didn't know how to comfort Mengmeng.

"Dad, why don't you go upstairs and keep Mom company?"

After a long silence, Mengmeng spoke.

The two stood there, looking at each other, unsure how to solve their current problem.

"Mengmeng, let's go to the back garden, Daddy will play with you." Gu Yinshen took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and looked ready to play with Mengmeng.

Just seconds after she finished speaking, Ruolan came out of the room. She stood in front of the second-floor railing and called down to Gu Yinshen, "Yinshen, come up here."

Looks like it's my 'daughter' causing trouble again.

Gu Yinshen was reluctant; he didn't want to leave Mengmeng alone downstairs. "Ruolan, I'll stay with Mengmeng a little longer."

He tried to rekindle Ruolan's feelings for Mengmeng.

Sweet, whining, and yelling sounds came from inside the room.

"Waaah... I don't want to be here..."

Hearing these words, Ruolan felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly by a hand, the pain making it hard for her to breathe. She bent over, pressing her palms hard against her chest, gasping for air.

"Ruolan!"

Gu Yinshen could no longer care about Mengmeng. With his long legs, he strode across the steps and arrived at Ruolan's side in a few quick steps.

"Are you ok?"

Ruolan shook her head, her gaze drifting towards the room. "Yinshen, our child...she doesn't like it here..."

It's all her fault. If she had been able to protect them from the beginning, she wouldn't have been so indifferent to them, and she wouldn't have been unwilling to accept them.

The idea was already deeply ingrained in her mind, fiercely controlling Ruolan's thoughts.

Gu Yinshen held Ruolan in his arms, stroking her tenderly. At this moment, no words could comfort her.

Inside the room, Tian Tian sat on the bed, swinging her legs, looking around at the layout of the room, her gaze inadvertently falling on the mirror next to her.

Who is the person in the mirror?

She jumped off the bed in shock, shifting her position slightly.

"No wonder!" Sweetie muttered.

Her face was no longer the same, so it's no wonder that Gu Yinshen and even Mengmeng didn't recognize her.

Was all of this done by immortals?

Her memory drifted back to that morning, and Tian Tian recalled that when she woke up, the Taoist Master Ziyang gave her a black pill. The pill was colorless and odorless, but its shape and size were several times larger than ordinary pills.

"Is all of this due to the effects of the pills?" Sweetie reached out and stroked her cheek.

With this face, she was worried she'd be recognized, kicked out of the Gu family, and sent to be fed to the wolves?

Hearing Ruolan crying outside the door, Tian Tian looked at the face in the mirror and pinched her inner thigh hard.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; this time, she's determined to kick Mengmeng out of the Gu family!

With tears in her eyes, Tian Tian arrived at the door.

“Baby…” Ruolan choked as she got out of Gu Yinshen’s arms.

Sweetie glanced at Ruolan, and tears streamed down her face. "Can I not be here?"

"Why?" Ruolan hurriedly pushed away Gu Yinshen's arm that was blocking her way and stepped forward to ask anxiously.

As Tian Tian watched Ruolan walk towards her, she deliberately took a step back to distance herself.

"Baby?" Ruolan looked at her with a hurt expression.

“Mom already has many children, it doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not.” After saying this, Sweetie turned around and ran back to her room with a hurt look on her face.

Leaving was just an excuse; she wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

three two……

"Different."

Before Tian Tian could finish counting down, Ruolan followed her in, a smug smile on her face.

"No matter how many children you have, you are unique in your mother's heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yinshen caught a glimpse of Mengmeng standing stunned by the stairwell.

"Mengmeng..." Gu Yinshen called out worriedly, "Your mother didn't mean that..."

He wanted to explain, but the more he explained, the less clear it became.

Mengmeng forced a smile. "Mengmeng knows. Mom doesn't want my sister to be sad, and Mengmeng understands that. I won't be unhappy because of Mom's words, Dad, don't worry!"

Mengmeng's understanding made Gu Yinshen feel even more guilty.

If he hadn't left then, the 'daughter' who appeared out of nowhere wouldn't have captured Ruolan's heart.

“Mengmeng, what Mom said applies to you too. No matter how many children there are in the family, you are unique in our hearts,” Gu Yinshen said.

"Yes, Mengmeng knows." Mengmeng replied to Gu Yinshen with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Ruolan's crying voice came out, and Gu Yinshen looked over with concern.

"Dad, go ahead. Mom needs Dad's company more than Mengmeng does right now."

"I'll go see Mengmeng when Dad is done with his work."

"Okay, Mengmeng will wait for Daddy."

Watching Gu Yinshen leave, Mengmeng abandoned her initial thoughts, turned around, and went downstairs.

Her presence won't make her older sister happy; it might make her feel even more insecure, and it will also make her mother more upset, and her father even more distressed.

Should she leave the Gu family for a few days?

With a bitter face, Mengmeng went back downstairs from upstairs.

"Mengmeng." Aunt Ping walked towards her and greeted her, but Mengmeng didn't hear her and just walked past her.

Watching her walk away listlessly, he sighed, "What kind of mess is this! She went out for a while and came back completely different."

Mengmeng arrived at the back garden, where the leopard was lying on the ground, playing with a ball in its mouth. Seeing Mengmeng approach, it immediately released the ball and excitedly pounced on Mengmeng's legs.

"Mengmeng, Mengmeng~ You're finally back!" The leopard called out Mengmeng's name excitedly. "You went to school, and I was so bored."

Mengmeng glanced at the leopard, then bent down and sat cross-legged on the lawn.

"Mengmeng, are you unhappy?" the leopard asked, puzzled.

Mengmeng, who usually has a smile on her face, is now frowning.

Were you bullied by other children at kindergarten?

The leopard instantly became serious. "Mengmeng, tell me who bullied you, and I'll go get revenge for you!"

Even without lifting a finger, a dignified leopard could scare a human child unconscious with just a roar.
