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

"Mom, Mengmeng is the person who saved Dad from the car accident. We must find out the truth and not mistake her for someone else."

Xie Qingyi hesitated for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Could you be mistaken?"

“I’m not sure either…that’s why I wanted you to find a chance to meet the child,”

Lu Rongsheng said seriously, "Perhaps we can find a reason to visit the Gu family, or hold a banquet and invite them to attend. A meeting would confirm it."

Xie Qingyi remained silent for a moment, thinking seriously.

"It's your younger brother Nian Nian's third birthday this weekend. Remember to send an invitation to the Gu family and formally invite them to attend."

Don't forget, they specifically mentioned asking them to bring the newly adopted little girl.

"The Gu family originated from a branch of European royalty, possessing an extremely prestigious status and a powerful background. In just three years, they have firmly established themselves in the country and control nearly half of the economic and political lifeline. Even disregarding Mengmeng's situation, maintaining closer ties between our Lu family and the Gu family would undoubtedly be beneficial, as the Gu family can bring us more opportunities and security."

Lu Rongsheng frowned slightly, but nodded outwardly.

"I understand, Mom. The Gu family is indeed a force to be reckoned with."

Gu family

Gu Shiyu gently tucked Mengmeng in, and after confirming that she was sound asleep, he quietly got up and returned to his own room.

The moonlight outside the window was like water, shining on his slightly tired face.

He sat on the edge of the bed and casually scrolled through his phone.

Suddenly, a new update popped up.

A minute ago, Gu Jingsi posted a status update on his alternate account.

The content was a photo of a private helicopter, accompanied by the text: "Landing in Jiangcheng tomorrow night at 9 PM, my darling niece is here~~"

Upon seeing this post, Gu Shiyu instantly frowned in anger.

He gripped the phone screen tightly, snorted coldly, and felt helpless and angry.

Oh no, Uncle Gu Jingsi is coming back.

Given his obsessive love for children, there's now another person vying with him for Mengmeng!

Uncle Ling was already under a lot of pressure because he was Mengmeng's little fanboy, and now he has another uncle...

The thought of Gu Jingsi, that goofy uncle, also doting on Mengmeng when he arrived filled him with jealousy.

His sister is clearly his alone, so why is the whole world fixated on her?

Frustrated, Gu Shiyu tossed his phone onto the bedside table, a helpless possessiveness welling up inside him.

He lay down and closed his eyes, but the image of Gu Jingsi appearing tomorrow kept replaying in his mind, and the restlessness in his heart lingered for a long time.

Under the cover of night, the Gu Family Castle was bathed in soft moonlight, so quiet that only the gentle rustling of leaves could be heard.

Aunt Ping, Aunt Xue, Third Brother, and Dad's fairy butterflies flew towards Mengmeng's room from all directions.

The light fluttering of the butterfly's wings accompanied the night breeze, carrying streaks of fluorescent light that pierced the night sky, like a small starlight feast.

Mengmeng was lying in bed when she heard a soft tapping sound outside the window.

She got up groggily, then suddenly smiled excitedly, knowing that her little butterflies had arrived.

She gently raised her hand, and little butterflies landed on her shoulders and fingers.

A glimmer of light shone in the night, illuminating her innocent and childlike face.

She gently took out the divine flower and herb from her sleeve, her eyes sparkling as she smiled.

"My little cuties, come and recharge your energy!"

The divine flowers and herbs in her hands emitted a mysterious glow, and the spirit butterflies fluttered around them, making the entire room feel like a dreamlike fairyland.

"Little butterflies, be good, okay? I'm going to check on Little Black."

With that, he entered the space.

In the space, divine flowers and herbs bloomed quietly under the moonlight, and the clear spiritual spring shimmered with a faint blue light.

As soon as Mengmeng entered the space, she saw Xiao Hei standing under the grape trellis not far away, looking up and munching on a bunch of grapes.

Its fur was shinier than before, and its eyes were full of vitality.

"Little black!"

Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly and ran over to gently pick it up.

Xiao Hei looked up at Mengmeng, his eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness.

It stretched out its paw and affectionately rubbed its face against hers, letting out a soft meow.

Gently stroking the top of Xiao Hei's head, I closed my eyes and used my spiritual power to sense its physical condition.

As the spiritual energy permeated, Mengmeng sensed the changes within Xiao Hei's body.

It not only fully recovered its health, but also successfully gained spiritual power.

Mengmeng was overjoyed. She opened her eyes and smiled at Xiao Hei, saying, "Xiao Hei, you've fully recovered! You can go out now! And you have spiritual power now, so you can help Second Brother heal his wounds."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei meowed with delight, its eyes sparkling with excitement.

It looked at Mengmeng with gratitude, its tone full of tenderness and emotion.

"Meow meow~~ Thank you, Mengmeng! Thank you so much!"

I can finally see my second brother again! I've missed him so much!

Mengmeng gently patted Xiaohei's back and said softly, "Okay, go ahead. Second brother will be very happy to see you."

She could almost see her second brother's cold eyes light up the moment he saw Xiao Hei come back to life.

Little Black's affectionate meows will surely warm the heart of Second Brother.

Mengmeng became happier and happier as she thought about it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Little Black was so moved that tears welled up in its eyes, and it gratefully rubbed against Mengmeng's face.

My heart is filled with affection and gratitude for this little girl.

Late at night.

Little Black quietly jumped to the window of its second brother, Gu Shiche, and waited patiently.

A gentle night breeze blew, and moonlight shone on Gu Shiche's little castle, making it appear exceptionally peaceful.

Xiao Hei leaned on the windowsill, looking at his second brother inside who had his back to the window, his eyes reddening with heartache.

In the days since Xiao Hei's 'death', Gu Shiche has been immersed in his own world, his face pale, his cheeks thin, and his whole being shrouded in gloom.

His figure appeared exceptionally thin, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost all hope and vitality for life.

Xiao Hei's heart clenched, and he felt a sharp pain.

It had never seen its second brother so depressed.

Little Black stayed outside the window all night, never daring to disturb them, silently watching and keeping them company.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by in the distance.

Xiao Hei immediately became alert, its gaze locking onto the dark figure.

It's a little black cat!

The little black cat's pupils contracted as it immediately sensed something amiss. Through its spiritual power, it determined that the little black cat was emanating a faint scent of poisonous powder.

Little Black immediately darted out, chasing after the little black cat carrying the poison powder.

However, no matter how it chased, the black cat always appeared intermittently ahead, as if deliberately luring it.

Little Black chased after the little black cat until it disappeared into the night.

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into Gu Shiche's room through the curtains.

He is still sleeping.

Xiao Hei gently burrowed into the blankets, nestled close to Gu Shiche's chest, its warm fur softly touching his skin.

Gu Shiche murmured unconsciously in his sleep, "Xiao Hei, stop fooling around..."

This sleep-talking was full of doting affection.

But then, his face turned pained.

Because she realized that Xiao Hei was no longer there...

Gu Shiche's eyes were slightly moist, as if tears were welling up.

He subconsciously called out softly, "Little Black..."

The longing surged like a tide, suffocating him.

Just then, several familiar meows came from the cat.

That's Little Black's bark!

Gu Shiche was jolted awake and suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up excitedly and looked around, just in time to see Xiao Hei lightly jump into his arms.

Little Black's fur was shiny, and its eyes shone with a vibrant light.

Gu Shiche hugged Xiao Hei tightly, warm tears sliding down his cheeks and falling onto Xiao Hei's fur.

Little Black rubbed against him gently, as if comforting its owner.

As Gu Shiche felt the warmth of Xiao Hei in his arms, tears welled up uncontrollably.

He picked up Little Black and looked at it carefully, and found that it had become somewhat different from before.

Xiao Hei's beard turned from gray to black, his pupils became deeper, and even his hair became shiny and beautiful.

Its breathing was light and powerful, as if it had returned to its prime.

Just as Gu Shiche was filled with gratitude and joy, he suddenly felt a slight stinging pain.

Xiao Hei gently rubbed the scar on his chest, and then the scar began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming almost invisible.

Gu Shiche's eyes widened, too shocked to speak for a moment.

"Meow~~~"

Xiao Hei circled around Gu Shiche and let out a soft bark.

Then, a burst of spiritual light emanated from Xiao Hei and enveloped Gu Shiche's entire body.

The light was warm and soft, as if it possessed some kind of mysterious healing power.

Gu Shiche's body was gently enveloped by this radiance...

He could feel that the scars that had left deep marks on his skin were being healed at this moment.

Gu Shiche stroked his now incredibly smooth skin in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief and gratitude.
