Looking at the feet under the table, Tian Tian deliberately moved her body towards the inside of the table.

“Honey, the ones that fell on the ground are dirty, so don’t bother with them. Let Aunt Xue get you a new pair,” Ruolan said.

Sweetie squatted on the ground, deliberately suppressing her voice to make a strained sound, "Mommy, I've picked it up."

The Gu family were nobles; surely they wouldn't be so poor as to not even have a spare pair of chopsticks.

"The things on the ground are already dirty. Pick them up and throw them in the trash can," Gu Yinshen ordered coldly.

Sweetie remained crouched under the table, looking at the chopsticks in her hand, her gaze falling on Sweetie's legs dangling in mid-air.

If this chopstick were stuck in her leg, would it feel as painful as if she were bitten by a wolf?

Her fingers gradually clenched, and Tian Tian slowly touched Meng Meng's leg with the chopsticks.

Just as the chopsticks were about to touch the table, reason made Tian Tian stop. She moved her feet, and half of her body emerged from under the table.

Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the distance between her left shoulder and the edge of the table, holding chopsticks and stretching her hand upwards.

"Sister Sweetie, be careful~" Mengmeng turned to the side, looking worriedly at Sweetie who was about to move out from under the table.

careful?

If she proceeds cautiously, how will her plan be executed?

Sweetie replied, "Okay."

Before the words were even finished, the entire table tilted dramatically.

On the side of the table that tilted downwards, Xie Beiling and Gu Shiyu's legs were firmly stuck by the edge of the table.

Sweetie looked up at the water glass on the table. According to her plan, the glass was supposed to fall.

I counted silently in my mind, and felt the dampness in my hair.

Soon!

Deeply pleased, Sweetie remained in the same position, continuing to wait.

"Sister Sweetie!" Mengmeng reached out, trying to stop the falling cup, but the cup still fell and hit Sweetie's shoulder when she reached out.

Ah ~

Sweet, painful screams echoed throughout the Gu residence.

Ruolan struggled to pull her legs out from under the table, and then saw Tiantian, soaking wet, standing up from under the table.

"Baby?" Ruolan stepped back, using her legs to move the chair she was sitting on, and rushed to Tiantian in a panic.

In the time it takes to pick up a chopstick, Tian Tian is soaked to the bone.

"Mengmeng, why did you spill water on me?" Sweetie asked Mengmeng angrily, her face still wet with water droplets.

The sudden question left Mengmeng completely confused; she hadn't splashed water on Sister Tiantian!

Mengmeng looked at Tiantian with a helpless expression, then looked at the Gu family members and Xie Beiling opposite her.

"Mom, I know Mengmeng might have been unintentional, but she spilled water on me, why didn't she apologize? That's not good!" Tiantian cried.

When the water glass fell, neither of them noticed what was happening across the table. Even now, based solely on Tian Tian's account, it's impossible to be certain that Meng Meng spilled the water on her.

Gu Yinshen would not allow such petty tricks of slander to happen within the Gu family.

"Shi Yu, go to the study and retrieve the surveillance video from the living room."

"it is good."

Gu Shiyu turned and walked towards the study on the second floor.

They even installed cameras in their home? That's more serious than going to jail.

Sweetie glanced up at the camera in the corner of the ceiling, her heart pounding. She dared not think about whether the footage would expose her scheme.

Slightly uneasy, she clutched the hem of her clothes, not daring to make a sound or show her fear.

"Mengmeng, don't be afraid. Uncle Ling is here to support you. No one can bully you!" Xie Beiling came to Mengmeng's side, his strong arms resting on her small shoulders.

It felt heavy yet reassuring.

"Uncle Ling, everyone loves Mengmeng very much, no one bullies Mengmeng." Mengmeng earnestly corrected Xie Beiling's words.

Nobody's bullying you?

Xie Beiling glanced at Tian Tian. There was someone right next to her, yet she said no one was bullying her!

No way. Sweetie will always be busy taking care of the family in the future. Who knows how she might bully Mengmeng when no one is around?

"Our Mengmeng is just kind-hearted, firmly believing that there are good people in the world," Xie Beiling said, clutching his chest.

Sweetie, watching this scene from the side, was insanely jealous.

She did nothing, so she's considered kind? That's a very low definition of kindness.

"Mommy~" Sweetie cried pitifully, "I'm so cold..."

His mouth trembled deliberately, his upper teeth hitting his lower teeth. His shoulders hunched inward, accompanied by shaking.

Ruolan held her hand tenderly and said to Gu Yinshen beside her, "I'll take her to change her clothes first."

"and many more!"

Gu Shiyu came down.

He was holding a laptop, which meant he had clearly saved the video to the laptop.

Sweetie was a little afraid to see the surveillance video, and she tugged at Ruolan's hand, pleading, "Mom, I want to go upstairs and change my clothes."

"Okay." Ruolan nodded in response, then said to Gu Shiyu, "I'll take your sister upstairs to change into some clean clothes first. You two keep an eye on things for now."

They say Mengmeng splashed water on her, but she wasn't even there, so what's the point of them watching?

Gu Shiyu knew that if he didn't agree to Ruolan's request, she would be heartbroken. Ruolan was currently the most important person to protect in the family, and no one could be allowed to cause her pain.

“It’s alright, Mom can take her upstairs to change her clothes first, we’ll wait for you downstairs,” Gu Shiyu said.

While Tian Tian was trying to figure out how to get Ruolan to say they didn't need to wait for them, Ruolan had already nodded in agreement.

The room upstairs.

"Mom, I don't mean to wrong Mengmeng." Tiantian stood by the bed and raised her hand to help Ruolan take off her soaking wet clothes.

The three people downstairs were on Mengmeng's side. No matter how the video presented the scene later, she needed to make Ruolan unconditionally believe that she had no bad intentions.

Ruolan took out clean and fresh clothes from the closet, looked down at Tiantian who had an innocent look on her face, and said, "Mom knows. The situation was urgent at the time, and there were many things that not only you, my darling, didn't see clearly, but even Dad and Mom didn't see clearly. So after watching the surveillance footage, we all know what the situation was like."

There was no bias in his words, which worried Tian Tian a little.

If she finds out that dropping the chopsticks was intentional, will she stop liking her?

No, this situation cannot happen.

She couldn't leave the Gu family just because the immortal hadn't finished what he had instructed her to do.

"Mom, I'm worried that my brother and dads will think I'm deliberately bullying Mengmeng," Tian Tian said, then sighed.

Ruolan paused in dressing her, then affectionately stroked her hair. "Baby, don't worry, Daddy, your brother, and Mengmeng will all understand you."
