The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Listen to me, close your eyes and rest for a bit," Gu Shiyu coaxed Mengmeng.

"Alright then, Mengmeng will close her eyes for a while." Not wanting Gu Shiyu to be angry, Mengmeng obediently sat down in the chair and closed her eyes.

Sweetie in the passenger seat was still waiting for her response. Seeing that Mengmeng had forgotten their conversation because of Gu Shiyu's words, she had a plan in mind.

There are still a few obedience pills left from Ziyang Daoist. If Gu Shiyu takes them, will things go more smoothly?

Thinking to herself, Tian Tian's peripheral vision locked onto Gu Shiyu, who was also resting with his eyes closed.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Gu family's house.

"You are finally back!"

Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue rushed over anxiously.

When Ruolan went out to pick up Mengmeng from school, they tried to stop her. When Ruolan woke up, Gu Yinshen instructed her not to go out and not to let anyone enter the Gu family to disturb her recovery.

In the afternoon, Ruolan insisted, and since they were just going to school and had gone out yesterday, they figured nothing would happen, so they didn't call Gu Yinshen to report. Who knew that such a big thing would happen just as they let their guard down?

Ruolan nestled affectionately in Gu Yinshen's arms, feeling embarrassed as she faced Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue, who were worried about her.

"It's good that things happened. After today's turmoil subsides, I will hold a press conference to officially announce that Ruolan has returned to my side," Gu Yinshen said.

On the way back, he thought about it for a long time. Ruolan was his lawfully wedded and loving wife. She wasn't a caged bird to be kept hidden away; he couldn't keep her confined at home and prevent her from seeing the outside world forever.

"Dad, we can't expose Mengmeng's special abilities to the public directly," Gu Shiyu reminded him seriously.

Gu Yinshen looked up and said, "I know. When I officially hold the press conference to discuss this matter, I will find a suitable reason and will not tell the truth to those outsiders."

After all, in this society governed by the rule of law, the miraculous resurrection of Mengmeng would pique the interest of those with ill intentions. Unforeseen events could then occur, bringing unnecessary trouble and distress to Mengmeng's upbringing.

Ruolan reached out and took Mengmeng's hand. "Mengmeng, thank you."

On the way back, Gu Yinshen told her the whole story in the car. Having gone through a life-or-death experience, Ruolan understood the meaning of life even more.

Sweetie seemed like an outsider, ignored by the Gu family and standing aside.

"Mengmeng doesn't like Mommy saying thank you to Mengmeng." Mengmeng lowered her head in grievance.

There's no need for thanks between family members. Does her saying these things mean she doesn't yet consider Mengmeng her own daughter?

With her head down, Mengmeng felt a pang of grievance as this thought crossed her mind, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ruolan watched as tears streamed down her face and fell to the ground. She hurriedly explained, "Mengmeng misunderstood Mommy. Mommy's gratitude is simply thanks to God for sending such a wonderful Mengmeng into our lives. Otherwise, how could I have had the chance to live again?"

"Really?" Mengmeng asked curiously, tears still clinging to her eyelashes. "Doesn't Mom treat Mengmeng like an outsider?"

"An outsider?" Ruolan could see the unease and insecurity in Mengmeng's heart, and her emotions were inevitably affected by her sadness. "How could you be an outsider! In your mother's heart, Mengmeng is my child. If I had the chance, I would have loved for you to have been born from my belly, so that you would naturally think of me as your biological mother."

"Mom~"

The invisible barrier between the two was shattered in that instant by these words. Mengmeng excitedly threw herself into Ruolan's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around her waist.

Gu Yinshen and Gu Shiyu looked at them with satisfaction.

Even Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue were happy to see this, and some were even moved to tears.

Only Tian Tian looked at Ruolan and Mengmeng, who were as affectionate as mother and daughter, with a mournful expression.

What's the deal with the obedience drugs? Why didn't they control Ruolan's mind? Why did they prevent her from saying those words?

She now strongly suspects that there is something wrong with the medicine given to her by Master Ziyang.

"Mom~"

The sweet call shattered the warm atmosphere, like a discordant voice that shouldn't have appeared at that moment.

Gu Shiyu turned his head and stared at Tian Tian with displeasure. "What are you trying to say now?"

"Brother, I..." Sweetie responded timidly to Gu Shiyu.

As Ruolan also focused her attention on Mengmeng, Tiantian deeply felt that her life in the Gu family was becoming increasingly difficult.

Restrained and awkward, she picked at her nails, occasionally glancing up at them, then quickly looking down when their gaze fell on her.

"Don't act like everyone's bullying you. If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, don't suddenly start talking and ruin the atmosphere," Gu Shiyu said mercilessly.

With such blunt words, Tian Tian couldn't find the right words to retort, so she simply and decisively showed a wronged and confused look, lowering her head and trying to evoke Ruolan's feelings for her.

"Shi Yu," Ruolan spoke up, "Tian Tian is also a younger sister, don't scare her."

"Hmph!" Gu Shiyu snorted coldly, turned around and sat down on the sofa.

In his heart, Mengmeng was the only sister he truly considered. As for Tiantian, she was not only not his sister, but would also soon be kicked out of the Gu family. He had promised Gu Yinshen that until the DNA test results came out, he would follow Ruolan's wishes and avoid any unpleasantness with Tiantian.

Sweetie walked timidly past Gu Yinshen and stopped in front of Ruolan. Seeing that Ruolan's hand was holding Sweetie's, Ruolan clasped her hands together and placed them on her stomach.

"Sweetie, from now on, get along well with your Mengmeng, just like sisters. Okay?" Ruolan took one of Mengmeng's hands and then one of Sweetie's hands, placing them together.

She knew that Tian Tian had just returned to the Gu family and still believed that Meng Meng had taken her place in the Gu family. So when Tang Tang told her those things, she was surprised but did not blame Tian Tian.

Mengmeng looked at Tiantian with anticipation, "Sister~ Mengmeng really likes it when you come."

"Yes, I like Mengmeng too." Sweetie said against her will, "After these past few days, I've also felt Mengmeng's friendliness towards me, and I'd like to become good friends with her."

"That's wonderful!" Ruolan said excitedly. "Yinshen, since we're going to hold a press conference, let's announce their identities as well."

The Gu family are noble dukes, and they are highly regarded and respected in public. If it is revealed that they are children of the Gu family, no one will dare to bully them.

Gu Yinshen had no objection to announcing Mengmeng, but Tiantian was not suitable yet.
