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

"are you hungry?"

"Hmm~ a little bit!"

Gu Shiyu glanced at Mengmeng, who was clutching her stomach with both hands and looking very serious, and naturally changed the subject.

"What do you want to eat? I'll take you there." Gu Shiyu took out his phone and checked nearby restaurants.

A picture quickly flashed through Mengmeng's mind. She went to Gu Shiyu's side and said, "Brother, Mengmeng wants to eat hamburgers and fries."

"Okay, brother will take you there now." Gu Shiyu put away his phone and reached out to hold Mengmeng's hand.

As Gu Shiyu came out of the office, he saw Gu Yinshen, Ruolan, and Tiantian, who had not yet left.

Why are they still here?

Thinking to himself, Gu Shiyu looked down at Mengmeng, whose little figure had already run ahead.

"Mom and Dad, sister~ haven't you left yet?"

Upon seeing Mengmeng, Gu Yinshen's gloomy mood instantly brightened. "Are you going back?"

"Brother is taking Mengmeng to eat hamburgers and fries!" Mengmeng excitedly announced.

Upon hearing this, a plan instantly came to Tian Tian's mind.

Is it the hamburger from TV?

"Haven't you tried it before, sister?"

She ate the sweet treat pitifully and said, "I've only ever seen it on TV. Once, when I passed by there, I saw someone eating it through a window."

Mengmeng continued, "Mengmeng has only eaten there once, and it was with Aunt Yumian."

"Aunt Yu Mian?" Ruolan asked curiously.

She remembered that this was the name Xie Beiling had mentioned last time.

Mengmeng nodded, "Aunt Yumian is the person Uncle Ling likes. Mengmeng met Aunt Yumian on the road last time. She took me to eat hamburgers and waited with me for Uncle Ling to pick me up."

Seeing that the topic had been changed, Tian Tian immediately grabbed Ruolan's arm and shook it, "Mom, I want to eat too."

Ruolan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sweetie, you just ate so much, are you still hungry?"

Do you have to be hungry to eat?

Sweetie resisted the urge to roll her eyes and nodded earnestly, "Yes, Mom, I really want to go eat."

"Sister, come with Mengmeng!" Mengmeng enthusiastically extended her hand in invitation.

"Okay." Sweetie immediately agreed, not giving anyone around her a chance to stop her.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Mengmeng turned around to greet Gu Shiyu, only to find that his expression was not very good.

"elder brother?"

"Ah."

Gu Shiyu walked over coldly and stood at the very front of the elevator.

Mengmeng stared at his retreating figure with her big, round eyes, her heart filled with questions.

Is my brother angry? What's the reason?

He unconsciously started fidgeting with his fingers, deep in thought.

Before she knew it, she had chipped a small gash into the edge of her nail, and the deeper she went, the more flesh was exposed.

The pain brought Mengmeng back to reality.

Should we tell my brother?

Her gaze fell on the back of Gu Shiyu's head. After a moment's hesitation, Mengmeng decided not to tell him. Otherwise, not only would her brother worry, but her parents would also be concerned for her.

The elevator arrived on the first floor, and Gu Shiyu was the first to step out. He stood to the side, patiently waiting for Mengmeng to come out.

“Sweetie is going too, let’s go together,” Ruolan said.

Gu Shiyu didn't respond, but took Mengmeng's hand after she came out.

Upon being touched, Mengmeng quickly pulled her hand back and gasped.

Gu Shiyu turned around to look and saw that she had her hands behind her back, trying to hide it.

"Mengmeng, stretch out your hand!" Gu Shiyu reached out his hand, begging.

Shaking her head, Mengmeng stammered in refusal, "Brother, Mengmeng wants to eat hamburgers and fries quickly, let's go!"

The more she acted like this, the more Gu Shiyu wanted to know what was wrong with her hands.

He took a step forward, and Mengmeng took a step back.

As they went back and forth, Mengmeng stepped on Tiantian's instep from behind.

"Ouch~ That hurts!" Sweetie immediately cried out and raised her hand to push Mengmeng's back.

She stumbled and was pushed into Gu Shiyu's arms.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Shiyu grabbed her arm and looked up at her hand.

After all that fuss, some blood seeped from the flesh around the edge of the nail, and the nail that had been pried open curled upwards.

"What happened?" Gu Shiyu asked, frowning. "Why didn't you tell your brother immediately when your nail came undone?"

Mengmeng shrank her neck and said cautiously, "Mengmeng is worried that brother will be angry."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Gu Shiyu's anger.

He's been getting angry with Mengmeng more often lately because of Tiantian, which has made her more cautious around him.

After realizing his mistake, Gu Shiyu said, "Brother should apologize to Mengmeng."

"Brother doesn't need to apologize to Mengmeng. Mengmeng was also wrong. She shouldn't have kept it from you and not told you." Mengmeng's face was full of guilt.

Watching the two apologize to each other and take responsibility, Tian Tian scoffed.

Mengmeng enjoys this kind of hypocritical superficiality!

She deliberately interrupted them, asking, "Can we set off now?"

"Dad, Mom," Gu Shiyu said, looking at Ruolan and Gu Yinshen, "I'll take Mengmeng, you two take her."

"Okay." Gu Yinshen nodded readily in agreement.

Gu Shiyu's dislike for Tiantian was ingrained in his bones, and he would find it difficult to accept her in a short time.

Instead of constantly trying to persuade him, it's better to go along with his wishes and let him temporarily avoid having too much contact with Tian Tian. This way, the resentment will lessen, and the conflict will gradually subside.

After receiving permission, Gu Shiyu immediately led Mengmeng forward.

Sweetie watched their departing figures, then looked at Gu Yinshen and Ruolan beside her.

Never mind, she has more important things to do, so let Mengmeng enjoy her freedom for now.

She raised her hand and took Ruolan and Gu Yinshen's hands, "Mom and Dad, let's go too."

Gu Yinshen looked at the hand she was holding and felt awkward all over. But the DNA test results showed that she was the child from back then, so he could only overcome his initial prejudice and slowly try to get along with her.

……

There was a heated discussion online about the press conference held by the Gu family, especially the appearance of Tian Tian later on, which made everyone realize that the Gu family had not only adopted a daughter, but had also found their biological daughter.

Grandma Gu looked away from the screen with a dark expression. "This is utter nonsense!"

He actually dared to publish Ruolan's story online, making the Gu family the subject of gossip among netizens.

Old Mrs. Gu had always been dissatisfied with Ruolan. Now that Ruolan had come back to life and was once again by Gu Yinshen's side, she was extremely unhappy and wanted to find a way to make her disappear from the world completely.

Unfortunately, the child Gu Yinshen adopted was very capable; she could even snatch the dead back from the underworld.
