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

After Gu Shiyu's tension dissipated, he realized how reckless his behavior had been.

Fortunately, the bathroom had individual cubicles; otherwise, his perverted behavior would have been widely publicized.

He glanced at his startled female colleague, coughed lightly, and said, "Sorry, I scared you."

"No, no..." The female employee said "no" several times, but she really didn't know what to say next.

However, Gu Shiyu glanced down at her name tag and memorized her name.

He made a note of it because she had been so meticulous and patient with Mengmeng, and his recent behavior had left her with some psychological trauma. He decided that after the press conference, he would contact HR to give her a raise.

However, his behavior of only looking and not saying anything made the female employee have all sorts of unfavorable thoughts.

Is she about to be fired?

What an undeserved disaster!

The female employee stared at Gu Shiyu as he carried Mengmeng away with a look of utter despair.

On the way back, Mengmeng chattered, "Brother, I felt like that older sister was afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Gu Shiyu retorted.

Mengmeng nodded, "Yes, when we left just now, that lady looked like she was about to cry. Brother, you can't just barge into the women's restroom like that next time."

When this question was brought up, Gu Shiyu felt embarrassed and couldn't bring himself to say no.

He stopped and said to Mengmeng in a consultative tone, "You, me, and that other girl know about this. We can't let a third person know. So, Mengmeng, from now on, you shouldn't mention that incident again."

If his parents find out, he'll probably get a lot of laughs. Especially Gu Shiche, who scolded him so fiercely for not caring about Mengmeng's behavior when he left.

Looking back now, it seems he was the one who made a big fuss, and that's how such an embarrassing situation happened.

Looking at Shi Yu's ears, which had turned red from embarrassment, Mengmeng smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, brother, Mengmeng will keep your secret. I promise I won't let anyone else know."

Although she readily agreed, Gu Shiyu always felt that a fourth, or even a fifth, person would find out in the next second.

"Brother, it seems the press conference has started!" Mengmeng patted Gu Shiyu's shoulder and urged him on after hearing the voice from the front.

The host was preparing the opening remarks, while Ruolan and Gu Yinshen sat quietly in the chairs prepared in the back.

Inside the conference room, the flashbulbs were brighter than the lights. The only sounds besides the host's voice were the clicking of cameras.

Gu Shiyu led Mengmeng back to the backstage area and watched Gu Yinshen and Ruolan sitting quietly in the back.

Mom is the best!

Mengmeng cheered Ruolan on in her heart.

As if sensing something, Ruolan turned around and met Mengmeng's serious expression. A gentle and warm smile appeared on her lips.

The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.

So beautiful!

Yes, now I understand what "a smile that could topple a city" truly means.

Now I finally understand why all the kids from the Gu family are so beautiful. With such beautiful mothers and handsome fathers, it would be strange if they weren't.

[How enviable! Rich, handsome, with a charming husband, and beautiful, well-behaved children. Perhaps no one in the world is happier than her.]

Gu Shiyu held his phone, looking at the comments in the live stream.

Mengmeng craned her neck to look, but being a kindergarten student, she couldn't read properly and couldn't understand what was written on the rapidly scrolling screen.

"Brother, what are they all talking about?" Mengmeng asked, her curiosity piqued after watching for a while.

Looking into her gossipy eyes, Gu Shiyu smiled and replied, "Just some compliments."

At this point, Gu Shiyu could already picture what comments would be made by netizens if Mengmeng appeared on camera.

After the host finished speaking, the microphone fell into Gu Yinshen's hands.

"The lady beside me is someone you all know. It's my wife, Ruolan, whom you're all curious about." Gu Yinshen said, looking at Ruolan with a gentle expression.

Ruolan responded to him with a smile, and their silent interaction was the envy of everyone around them.

"Rumors circulated online that my wife passed away three years ago. Three years later, she reappeared in the public eye, leading to a lot of speculation. Some said she came back to life, others said she was someone else impersonating her, and there were even other rumors, but none were as exaggerated as the first one." Gu Yinshen finished speaking, then smiled humorously. "I have to admire the person who made this claim; their imagination is astounding. If I had the chance to meet them, I'd recommend them to a film crew as a screenwriter. That way, they could benefit everyone and create unique film and television works."

The audience burst into laughter. The reporters were amused by his words and even felt that Gu Yinshen's tone was different from what they had heard before.

"Faced with everyone's curiosity and speculation, my wife is very distressed and helpless at home. So today's press conference will be held by her personally to explain to everyone." After Gu Yinshen finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Ruolan and led the applause.

There were cheers and encouragement from the crowd, all eagerly anticipating Ruolan's response.

To show respect to everyone, Ruolan took the microphone and stood up from her chair.

"Hello everyone, I am Ruolan. I did not die, nor did I come back to life. Three years ago, due to a misunderstanding, I left my husband and my children in a fit of anger. Because of my anger, I injured myself and remained in a coma for three years. Some time ago, I recovered and woke up from my coma. Because I had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, I was afraid to go out after waking up. It wasn't until my children wanted me to pick them up from kindergarten that I realized I was now a normal person and should be able to go back to normal life without hiding myself at home."

Ruolan spoke each word with a powerful yet gentle grace.

But these words failed to convince the reporters present. After all, the rumors about her death were quite detailed, including Old Madam Gu personally confirming her passing and announcing the identity of the new Mrs. Gu.

A reporter raised their hand.

Seeing this, Ruolan reached out her hand to allow the other person to speak.

"Mrs. Gu, I'd like to ask if the misunderstanding you're referring to is a problem in your relationship with Mr. Gu?" the reporter asked sharply.

The surrounding reporters were all looking forward to Ruolan's response, while also worrying whether this reporter would learn a lesson from the Gu family.

Ruolan was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Is it true, as rumored online, that President Gu had an extramarital affair three years ago? And was it because of this affair that the subsequent events occurred?"
