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

The sound of Gu Jingsi calling out to Gu Shiyu echoed in the living room.

Ruolan and Xie Yumin, who were chatting, both turned their gazes toward Gu Jingsi.

Why can't we just say things properly instead of shouting?

Gu Yinshen stood up and walked towards the two of them.

"Jing Si?"

"Big brother, you should talk to him properly. Sweetie is his sister, that's true, but she's also my niece. What? Does that mean he's the only one who can play Lego with her?"

Faced with Gu Jingsi's complaints, Gu Yinshen looked helplessly at Gu Shiyu.

"Sweetie will be down in a bit, let's ask for her opinion." Gu Yinshen couldn't make a decision either.

Xie Beiling stared at the three of them in disbelief.

The more he looked, the more he felt that Tian Tian had stolen Meng Meng's life.

Now that she's the pampered protagonist, what about Mengmeng? Why isn't she with the Gu family?

Where did Mengmeng go in this huge house?

Gu Jingsi looked up at the second floor, where Tian Tian's figure appeared behind the railing.

His disgust was undisguised; Gu Jingsi didn't want to see it even once more. He looked away and pulled out his phone with a bored expression.

He got all his news about Mengmeng from the Gu family. Now that Mengmeng is gone, he really doesn't know how to contact her.

……

"Aqiu~"

As soon as she stepped into the living room, Mengmeng sneezed loudly. She rubbed her nose uncomfortably, looking embarrassed at Lin Ling who was walking towards her.

"Mengmeng, do you have a cold?" Lin Ling asked anxiously.

She received a message from Tang Yibai two hours ago, informing her that Mengmeng would be coming to stay at her house, which made her very happy.

Mengmeng shook her head and quickly explained, "Aunt Lin, Mengmeng's nose was just a little itchy, so I couldn't help but sneeze."

Lin Ling tenderly stroked Mengmeng's forehead and gently comforted her, "Mengmeng, don't feel embarrassed. Staying here is just like being at home. Besides, in our hearts, you and Tangtang are the same."

Same?

Mengmeng had heard that before. But things gradually changed afterward.

"Mengmeng!" Tangtang grabbed Mengmeng's hand, pulling her back to reality. "My mom and dad are yours too!"

"Mmm." Mengmeng nodded, touched.

Tangtang and she are not just ordinary friends or classmates; they are family members who can cherish each other and give each other the best.

Tang Yibai smiled and said, "Don't just stand at the door, come inside."

"Look at me, Auntie is blocking the doorway." Lin Ling quickly moved aside.

Tangtang enthusiastically took Mengmeng's hand and headed straight for the bedroom on the second floor.

“When you came to my house last time, I wanted you to stay here and sleep with me at night. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”

Tangtang's happy laughter echoed throughout the room.

Tang Yibai came to Lin Ling's side, and Lin Ling leaned on Tang Yibai's shoulder. "That's so nice!"

"Yes, Tangtang is able to return to her usual happy self, all thanks to Mengmeng." Lin Ling said, then turned her head and asked seriously, "Why did the Gu family suddenly abandon Mengmeng?"

"Well... I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason. But after interacting with the Gu family after school, for some reason, I felt like they had become completely different people. Their tone of voice and their way of doing things were very different from before."

I can still clearly picture the scene in my mind.

Lin Ling looked up at the second floor. "That's fine. If they don't want it, we'll take care of it. With Mengmeng around, Tangtang will have a companion."

In the room, Tangtang opened the wardrobe and took out several sets of clean pajamas. "Mengmeng, these are all still with the tags on. I haven't worn them yet, so you can wear them."

After saying that, she turned around and walked to the bedside. "Do you prefer to sleep on the left or the right? You choose first, and then I'll sleep next to you."

Then her gaze fell on the desk. Yesterday, she had made a mess of books and paintbrushes all over it, and the desk looked a little dirty.

Tangtang ran over shyly and quickly tidied the desk with her back to Mengmeng.

"Tangtang, let me help you tidy up." Mengmeng reached out her hand, and Tangtang squeezed her body towards her, accidentally trapping Mengmeng's hand under her armpit.

The two looked down at the scene, glanced at each other, and then burst into laughter.

"Tangtang, I know you're worried I won't get used to it. But I'm really adaptable, and I love it here," Mengmeng said, expressing her true feelings.

She received the same treatment when she first arrived at the Gu family. But when Tian Tian returned later, she wasn't treated as kindly as Tang Tang had.

If the headmistress knew that she now has such a good sister as Tangtang, she would be very happy for her.

Thinking of this, Mengmeng's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Mengmeng?" Tangtang shook Mengmeng's arm nervously.

Mengmeng looked at Tangtang and explained, "Xiaobai is still taking care of the family."

Xiao Bai went to the Gu family with her, but Tian Tian didn't like Xiao Bai. If she weren't there, Xiao Bai's situation wouldn't be any better.

She is very worried about Xiaobai and wants to take her away from the Gu family immediately.

"Mengmeng, don't worry, I'll go with you to the Gu family home after dinner to pick up Xiaobai," Tangtang said.

"But what if my aunt and uncle..."

"No. My mom and dad love you very much, and they love everything around you too."

Yes, Aunt Lin Ling prepared so many things for her when she learned she was coming.

Mengmeng nodded and squeezed Tangtang's hand in return, "Thank you, Tangtang."

"You said I can't say thank you!" Tangtang pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't say it again next time." Mengmeng hurriedly tried to comfort Tangtang.

Tangtang's intention was merely to tease her, not to actually get angry. Seeing Mengmeng's tense and worried expression, Tangtang instantly regretted her actions.

She shook her head in self-reproach, "Mengmeng, I'm the one who should apologize. I'm not angry, I just wanted to tease you."

Seeing the two apologizing to each other, Mengmeng stopped crying and started laughing. Touching Tangtang's chubby cheeks, she said with a smile, "From now on, let's not say thank you or sorry when we're together, okay?"

There's no need for too many constraints between family members; doing whatever you want is the best approach.

Tangtang immediately raised both hands in agreement and said, "Great!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

"Mengmeng, Tangtang, are you ready? Dinner is ready!" Tang Yibai's voice drifted into the room.

Tangtang and Mengmeng turned their heads at the same time and responded enthusiastically, "Coming!"

The door opened, and two innocent, childlike faces came into view.

"You must be hungry by now?" Tang Yibai asked with a smile.

"Do not……"
