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

"angry?"

"I'm sorry, Tian Tian is your sister, I shouldn't have said that to her."

Tangtang's sudden apology left Mengmeng somewhat confused.

"Tangtang, why are you apologizing? You were just expressing your feelings, not trying to make people look bad on you." Mengmeng held Tangtang's hand and earnestly tried to comfort her.

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Tangtang pulled Mengmeng to sit on the bed and began to express her feelings without any restraint. "Mengmeng, when you're at home with her, don't you think she's scary? Just thinking about her expression just now makes my heart pound."

Tangtang looked like a melancholy old lady at that moment.

Why is everyone saying that Sister Sweetie is scary?

Could it be that she really has been pretending all along, and that she didn't realize it because she wanted to have a good relationship with her?

Mengmeng was deep in thought and forgot about Tangtang, who was still talking non-stop next to her.

"Mengmeng." Tangtang shook Mengmeng's arm. "What are you thinking about? Are you remembering the unfriendly looks Tiantian gave you at home?"

“No,” Mengmeng shook her head. “Tangtang, I just don’t understand why Sister Tiantian is doing this.”

When she first returned to Guhua, she immediately welcomed her and wanted to get along well with her. In everything that followed, she was always considerate, afraid of making her uncomfortable.

Upon closer reflection, it's clear that Sweetie never truly wanted to be accepted into the Gu family and consistently displayed hostility towards her. If it weren't for Tangtang's words today that awakened Mengmeng, how long would it have taken for her to even think of being friendly?

Knock knock~

"May I come inside?"

The knocking and the questioning hadn't even registered what was happening when the door was opened by Tian Tian outside.

She didn't just ask a question; she just pushed me away like that?

Mengmeng frowned and noticed that Tangtang, who had been rambling on just a second ago, suddenly became tense.

"Sister Sweetie, this is Tangtang's room. She hasn't responded yet. You shouldn't have just pushed the door open and come in," Mengmeng said seriously.

Is this a criticism of her behavior?

Her expression flashed cold for a moment, then returned to calm. But her tone wasn't so friendly as she spoke, "Oh, I'll be more careful next time."

Tangtang couldn't say a word to Tiantian; she looked at Mengmeng and leaned on Mengmeng completely.

"You need to apologize to Tangtang now!" Mengmeng demanded righteously.

If you do something that makes someone uncomfortable, it's only natural to apologize.

However, the word "apology" does not exist in Sweetie's dictionary.

"Do good friends need to apologize?" Sweetie shed two emotionless tears. "I thought you were very welcoming of my arrival. It seems I was just being presumptuous."

After saying that, she turned and left sadly.

A wave of self-reproach washed over Mengmeng, who had a soft heart. She turned to Tangtang and asked, "Should I not have spoken to Sister Tiantian like that?"

"Mengmeng, but I think you were really cool just now!" Tangtang came to Mengmeng's side and looked at her with admiration.

酷？

She didn't think so.

A look of melancholy lingered on Mengmeng's face, and she let out a long sigh from her slightly open mouth, "Sigh~"

Tangtang's excitement was instantly dampened by those words. Her little face fell, and she could no longer show any joy.

"Why don't we go apologize to Sweetie?"

After a long silence, Tangtang finally spoke up and made a suggestion.

She can avoid Tian Tian at school, but not Meng Meng. They live together, and if Tian Tian resents Meng Meng because of her, and then makes things difficult for her when she returns to the Gu family, she won't be able to help her.

“But it’s wrong to open the door without permission. It was Sweetie’s fault in this matter.” Mengmeng remained firm in her decision.

She didn't regret asking Sister Tiantian to apologize to Tangtang. She just didn't understand why Sister Tiantian felt that they didn't treat her as their best friend when she did something wrong.

"Mengmeng!" Tangtang looked Mengmeng up and down in surprise, then said, "You've changed!"

"changed?"

"Yes, if it were before, you would have apologized to Tian Tian immediately."

"Tangtang, am I being insecure?" Mengmeng suddenly became insecure.

She wanted to have a very friendly relationship with Tian Tian and didn't want their relationship to deteriorate. Otherwise, Ruolan's mother would be sad and upset if she found out.

"No, no, no!" Tangtang quickly corrected, "It's not that you're bad, it's that she's not worth it!"

She dreamed of having a younger sister like Mengmeng, whom Tiantian could easily have, but she didn't cherish her and treated her so cruelly.

Mengmeng's mind was in a mess. She leaned back and her heavy body lay down on Tangtang's bed.

Tangtang sat quietly beside her and carefully pulled the blanket up to cover her stomach.

downstairs.

Sweetie was squatting at the corner of the stairs, a spot she had chosen that wasn't far from the living room or Tangtang's room on the second floor. Anyone with a keen eye could spot her.

Time ticked by, and the tears that Tian Tian had prepared were almost gone, yet no one appeared beside her to notice her unusual state.

We must take the initiative?

Sweetie leaned against the wall and stood up from the ground. She was about to go downstairs when she saw the immortal standing in the courtyard outside the window.

How did an immortal come here?

She gasped in amazement, covering her mouth. Sweetie wanted to meet the immortal, but didn't know how to avoid Gu Shiyu and Tang Yibai in the living room.

Ziyang Daoist obtained the divine flower from Mengmeng through Tiantian, and his injured body has been healed. He also gained cultivation by exerting his strength.

He originally intended to act swiftly and take Mengmeng away while Bifang was away. However, he didn't expect that the cunning Bifang had set up a barrier around Mengmeng.

He couldn't even get half a step closer to her.

Inside, Tian Tian silently descended the stairs. As she passed the living room sofa, she held her breath, slowed her pace, and moved towards the door as if she didn't exist, without making a sound.

"Sweetie." Lin Ling came out of the kitchen and called out to Sweetie warmly.

Focused on the two people on the sofa to the right, they completely ignored the one on the left.

Sweetie quickly looked into the courtyard, but the spot where Daoist Ziyang had just stood was no longer there.

"Fortunately, the immortal has already left."

"what?"

Lin Ling approached Tian Tian and vaguely heard her speak, but couldn't make out what she was saying.

Sweetie glanced at the curiosity in Lin Ling's eyes, and on a sudden inspiration, said, "Auntie, I want to go home."

"Why do you suddenly want to go back?" Lin Ling squatted down and took Tian Tian's arm. Upon closer contact, she noticed the tears on Tian Tian's face.
