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

Lu family.

The crystal chandelier shimmered softly, and the melodious sound of a piano echoed in the air.

At the center of the banquet, an eight-tiered pure white cake adorned with a small golden crown stood out, surrounded by exquisite gift boxes, making the entire banquet resemble a fairytale celebration.

Madam Lu, Xie Qingyi, stood at the door early, her gaze occasionally drifting into the distance.

Yesterday, due to an unexpected accident, she was unable to see Gu Jiameng's true face. She specially invited Gu Jia to bring Mengmeng to the banquet.

She was especially looking forward to seeing Mengmeng.

Inside the banquet hall, Tian Tian was surrounded by numerous celebrities and socialites, enjoying endless praise.

"Is this the Lu family's little princess? She's so beautiful!"

"Even her adopted daughter has an extraordinary temperament."

Sweetie responded with a smile, secretly pleased with the compliments.

Just then, a luxury car with Peppa Pig stickers slowly pulled up in front of the Lu family's house.

Sweet eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

The car door opened, and out stepped…it was Mengmeng!!

She wore a princess dress even more gorgeous than Sweetie's, and her exquisite hair accessories shimmered in the sunlight.

Sweetie's heart sank, and her pupils contracted slightly.

Mengmeng is no longer at the orphanage? Has she been adopted by a wealthy man?

No, how could that be!

How could she be so lucky!

Sweetie quickly realized that the most urgent task was to prevent Mengmeng from meeting the Lu family!

If the Lu family sees Mengmeng, they are very likely to recognize her as the one who truly saved Mr. Lu!

Once her impersonation of Mengmeng is exposed, all the wealth and status she has worked so hard for will vanish in an instant!

In an instant, Tian Tian's heart raced and her palms began to sweat.

She calmly stopped a passing servant, whispered a few words in her ear, and a hint of panic and coldness flashed in her eyes.

On the other side of the banquet, Gu Shiyu led Mengmeng slowly into the banquet hall.

The celebrities' eyes were immediately drawn to it, their gazes filled with amazement and curiosity.

Some people recognized that this was the Gu family, with their illustrious European aristocratic background, and they all came forward to flatter them.

"Young Master Gu, it's been a long time. How has your father been lately?"

"Is this the little sister Gu Jiaxin adopted? She's so delicate and adorable."

Gu Shiyu smiled slightly and replied politely, "Yes, this is my younger sister, Mengmeng."

This was Mengmeng's first time attending such an event, and she felt a little nervous facing so many unfamiliar eyes.

She lowered her head timidly, and accidentally bumped into a passing maid.

The wine in the glass spilled onto her dress.

"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I'll take you to change your clothes right away," the maid quickly apologized.

Gu Shiyu frowned, and followed them to the changing room with concern, standing guard at the door.

In the room,

When Mengmeng looked up, she saw Tiantian standing not far away.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she stepped forward to ask, "Sweetie? What are you doing here?"

Sweetie's expression changed slightly, but she tried to remain calm. "Mengmeng, you... you've been adopted?"

Mengmeng nodded, but she no longer felt the same closeness to Tiantian as before. She felt that Tiantian was different now.

She didn't say much and turned to continue changing her clothes.

Seeing Mengmeng's cold attitude, Tiantian's jealousy and anger quickly flared up.

Why! Why did she suffer so much in her past life, while Mengmeng was able to live a happy life? In this life, she finally managed to snatch the opportunity that belonged to Mengmeng and be adopted by the richest family, but Mengmeng was adopted by the even richer and more prestigious Gu family? Why?!

God is so unfair!

The flames of jealousy burned in her heart, her sweet face gradually twisted, and her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Mengmeng sensed the change in Tiantian and was frightened by her sinister gaze.

Not wanting to say anything more, she decided to leave and go find Gu Shiyu.

However, the moment she turned around, Tian Tian quickly grabbed a stick and slammed it down hard on Meng Meng's head.

Before Mengmeng could react, she fainted.

Sweetie was panting heavily, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes.

She coldly ordered the servant beside her, "Send her to the mountains, sell her to whomever you want. She can't stay here."

The maid hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "But... Miss, this child is related to the Gu family. Our Lu family can't afford to offend the Gu family."

Sweetie's eyes turned cold, and she said through gritted teeth, "I'll give you three million. Disappear immediately after you've done this. The Gu family won't come after you."

The maid trembled, too frightened by her cold tone to argue further, and could only lower her head and agree.

While obeying Sweetie's orders, he was secretly terrified.

How could this seemingly delicate little girl be so vicious? She doesn't seem like a four-year-old child at all.

Gu Shiyu stood at the door of the dressing room, looking somewhat anxious.

He glanced at his watch and realized that Mengmeng had been inside for about ten minutes, but there was still no sound from inside.

He frowned, a growing unease rising in his heart.

"Mengmeng?"

Gu Shiyu called out softly a few times, but there was still no response from inside.

His heart sank, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he pushed open the door without hesitation.

The room was empty.

Mengmeng has disappeared!

Gu Shiyu's face instantly darkened, and his aura became icy cold.

He immediately took out his phone and calmly but extremely authoritatively gave the order:

"Seal off the Lu family residence; check all entrances and exits. Find Mengmeng."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with a sense of oppression.

In a short while, the entire Lu family was surrounded by the Gu family's guards.

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly tense.

When Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu learned that Mengmeng from the Gu family had disappeared from their home, they were extremely anxious and at a loss.

Madam Lu was extremely anxious.

She had been looking forward to seeing Mengmeng all night, but before she even saw her, this happened.

Considering the Gu family's powerful background, a deep sense of panic welled up in their hearts.

"Quickly! Send more men! We must find that child!"

Madam Lu gave the instructions hastily.

The guests were also taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and they all put down their glasses and began to help search for the missing person.

The lavish banquet suddenly turned tense and chaotic.

Standing not far away, Lu Rongsheng's eyes flickered, and his brows furrowed slightly.

How could such a sudden change occur at a banquet that was originally going well?

His gaze searched the banquet hall and finally settled on Tian Tian.

Sweetie stood in the corner, looking panicked, as if she was also shocked by the news of Mengmeng's disappearance.

However, Lu Rongsheng observed carefully and felt that something was wrong.

An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

His intuition told him that this matter was inextricably linked to Tian Tian.

However, there is no evidence.

Lu Rongsheng's gaze deepened.

……

The night is getting darker.

The servant drove the car along the rugged mountain road toward the remote cliff edge.

After the car stopped, all that could be heard was the howling wind.

She couldn't find a buyer and was filled with anxiety and fear.

After glancing at Mengmeng, who was lying unconscious in the trunk, I hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted my teeth and decided to leave Mengmeng there.

She hurriedly got out of the car, opened the trunk, and pulled Mengmeng out like an object.

Mengmeng remained completely unaware; her tiny body seemed incredibly fragile in her hands.

The maid stood on the edge of the cliff, looking into the dark abyss. Her eyes hardened, and she prepared to push Mengmeng off.

However, just as she reached out to push Mengmeng, a sudden gust of wind swept in.

"Violent——"

A sharp cry pierced the sky.

The servant looked up and saw a huge bird descending from the sky, its wings spread wide, like a ghost in the night.

It was a strange beast much larger than an ordinary bird, its eyes flashing with fiery red light, swooping down on her with a powerful aura.
