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

"What exactly are you hiding?" Ruolan stared at Gu Yinshen expressionlessly.

For a fleeting moment, Gu Yinshen saw a glimpse of Ruolan from four years ago in her eyes.

She had the same expression when she questioned him about the rumors surrounding him and Ji Mengran.

Gu Yinshen was afraid, afraid that Ruolan would leave again.

“It’s about Tian Tian,” Gu Yinshen said. “We felt that things were too strange, so we felt that all the problems were related to Tian Tian and wanted to find the reason from her.”

"So you deliberately pretended that you only had eyes for her?" Ruolan pressed on, following up on his words.

Gu Yinshen nodded, "Yes. But we were afraid that Mengmeng would be sad, so we didn't tell you, thinking that you could take care of Mengmeng's feelings at this time."

As Ruolan listened to Gu Yinshen's explanation, she clenched her fist and pounded it hard on Gu Yinshen's shoulder.

"Ruolan, hit me as hard as you want. As long as it makes you feel better, hit me as hard as you want." Gu Yinshen grabbed Ruolan's hand and punched her hard in the chest.

But with each fall, the pain seemed to fall on Ruolan as well.

She stopped waving her fist and looked at Gu Yinshen, saying, "So now? Have you found the reason?"

Gu Yinshen shook his head, "Things are not going as smoothly as we thought; it will probably take a long time."

"Will it take some more time?" Ruolan's tone turned somber.

The family was divided into two factions, and even if it was just a pretense, the things they did would make everyone feel bad.

Gu Yinshen grasped Ruilan's hand and earnestly told her, "However, we have decided not to continue pretending, but to investigate the matter thoroughly in a different way."

"Really?" Ruolan pressed.

Gu Yunshen nodded, "If I continue acting, I'm afraid my wife won't be able to handle it and will leave me again, taking my beloved child with her."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a hard punch to the chest.

In the distance, Mengmeng watched as Ruolan kept pounding Gu Yinshen's chest and asked worriedly, "Brother, aren't we going over there?"

They've already resorted to violence; who knows what they might do next? She wanted them to reconcile and didn't want their relationship to worsen.

Gu Shiyu stopped Mengmeng from going forward and said to her, "You don't need to go over there, they're fine."

Gu Shiyu had witnessed this scene many times. It served as a kind of emotional balancing agent between him and his wife.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, Gu Yinshen gently embraced Ruolan.

Seeing this, Mengmeng turned to Gu Shiyu in surprise and said, "Brother, they really made up!"

Looking down at his tightly clenched hand, Gu Shiyu looked at Mengmeng with surprise.

Feeling the intensity of Gu Yinshen's gaze, Mengmeng looked up and met his eyes.

"Brother, why are you looking at Mengmeng like that?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

Is there something on her face? Or does her brother have something to say to her?

Or perhaps, Gu Shiyu, standing before them, spoke.

"Mengmeng, do you still love your brother?"

"what?"

There was too much wind at the beach, and Mengmeng didn't hear what Gu Shiyu said clearly.

After mentally preparing himself for a moment, Gu Shiyu spoke again, "Brother is only nice to Tiantian and doesn't care about you. Do you no longer like brother?"

Mengmeng shook her head, "No matter what brother does, Mengmeng will always love brother."

After saying that, Mengmeng reached out and grasped Gu Shiyu's hand.

Her soft, warm hands gradually comforted Gu Shiyu's heart.

He held her hand back, wishing he could embed Mengmeng into his heart and squeeze out his guilt.

School gate.

As Tian Tian emerged from the school, she looked at the crowded school gate and searched for a familiar figure.

But after looking at everyone, she didn't see Gu Yunshen, Gu Shiyu, or Gu Jingsi.

"Your brother will pick you up after school..."

As they stood outside the classroom, Gu Shiyu's promise kept repeating itself in Tian Tian's mind.

But now that it's time for school to end, they're nowhere to be seen.

Is there a traffic jam on the road?

Sweetie came to the roadside and looked into the distance, where she saw a familiar car.

They arrived so late; even if they did, she would still give them a severe scolding.

She stood there with a dark expression, muttering to herself, waiting for the car to arrive.

The car stopped in front of her, and Tian Tian stood there proudly, waiting for the person inside to get out and coax her.

"Why is it you?" Tian Tian looked at Lao Zhang getting out of the car with a disappointed expression.

In her memory, it should have been Gu Shiyu, or at the very least Gu Yinshen, who got out of the car. But instead, it was Old Zhang, a driver, who came out. None of them came to pick her up; they just handed her a driver and sent him away.

Old Zhang respectfully opened the car door. "Miss Tian, ​​the sir and his family had something come up and couldn't leave, so they asked me to pick you up. But they told me to make sure you get home safely."

What's the use of just saying it? She clearly needs them to come in person.

Bending down to sit back in the car, Sweetie saw Tangtang at the door through the window.

Mengmeng didn't come to school today, but Tangtang asked the teacher after class. She learned that Ruolan had asked for leave for her, so she didn't need to come to school today.

Gu Yinshen and the others haven't come to pick her up yet. Could it be related to Mengmeng?

Thinking about it, Tian Tian looked up and asked Old Zhang in front of her, "Are they home?"

"My husband isn't home," Old Zhang replied.

"Where did they go?" Sweetie continued to ask.

Old Zhang didn't respond to the question immediately. He glanced at Tian Tian, ​​who looked curious, through the rearview mirror and said, "I don't know. I just came to pick you up after school, Miss Tian Tian, ​​as arranged by the master."

Sweetie looked at Old Zhang suspiciously. Did he really not know, or was he just unable to tell her?

Old Zhang felt Tian Tian's gaze, so he stopped talking and focused on driving ahead.

Back at the Gu family home, apart from Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping, no one else was seen inside.

Sweetie glanced at the time, then grabbed Aunt Xue and demanded, "Call them and ask when they're coming back."

"Miss Sweetie, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Since the master and the others haven't come home yet, something must have happened. If I call them rashly, I'm afraid it will upset them." Aunt Xue refused Sweetie's request.

She only did what she was supposed to do. As for anything else, she didn't want to overstep her bounds and make her husband and the others dislike her, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer.

Seeing that her request was refused, Tian Tian's face instantly darkened. "I demand that you make a phone call!"

Suddenly scolding, Aunt Xue frowned, looking at the angry Tian Tian in disbelief.

Is she really that temperamental at such a young age? Yet she has never acted this way in front of her husband and wife.
