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

Xie Beiling gently patted her shoulder, his tone tinged with helpless concern: "Little Mengmeng, you're finally awake! You scared us to death."

Mengmeng stared blankly at everyone, not quite able to react for a moment.

Gu Shiyu sat down on the edge of the bed and asked her,

"Mengmeng, what happened in the dressing room of the richest man Lu's family? Do you remember?"

Mengmeng tilted her head, trying hard to remember.

She thought of Sweetie...

The Lu family? The birthday party she attended today was hosted by the Lu family, the richest family in the world?

The uncle who wanted to adopt her was the head of the Lu family, the richest family in the world!

Mengmeng looked at Gu Shiyu with some confusion and asked, "Brother, is the Lu family... the Lu family that's the richest family?"

Gu Shiyu nodded and explained gently, "Yes, Mengmeng."

Mengmeng lowered her head and pursed her lips helplessly.

She didn't plan to tell anyone about meeting Tian Tian.

Sweetie has been adopted by the Lu family and has many loving family members. She doesn't want this matter to affect everyone anymore.

"In the changing room... I was knocked unconscious, and I didn't see who it was."

Mengmeng shook her head, her voice sounding tired.

Gu Shiyu frowned slightly, clearly not quite believing her words.

He patted Mengmeng's head and said softly, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. Tell your brother what happened. We'll stand up for you."

Mengmeng simply nestled in Gu Shiyu's arms, her little hands tightly embracing him, acting all cute and coquettish.

"Brother, I'm tired... I don't want to talk anymore."

She blinked her big eyes, looking aggrieved.

Gu Shiyu felt so heartbroken that he couldn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Gu Shiyu sighed helplessly and patted Mengmeng's back affectionately.

Then he ordered someone to bring a bowl of warm porridge and sat by her bedside to feed her.

"Sweetie, eat something."

Mengmeng sipped her porridge, her ears ringing with the sounds of the Lu family begging for mercy outside the window.

"Young Master Gu, please spare the Lu family!"

It's... Uncle Lu's voice! It really is Uncle Lu!

She couldn't have misheard!

Mengmeng bit her lip, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She tilted her head and blinked. "Brother, can you forgive the Lu family?"

Gu Shiyu gave a cold laugh, his tone revealing a hint of disdain.

"Mengmeng, the Lu family hurt you, I won't let them off easily."

Mengmeng tugged at Gu Shiyu's sleeve with her soft, sweet voice, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him and said in a childish voice, "Brother... forgive them..."

Looking into Mengmeng's innocent eyes, Gu Shiyu felt the chill in his heart dissipate almost completely.

He sighed helplessly and patted her head: "You can't be so soft-hearted."

Although he was unwilling to let the Lu family off the hook, he couldn't bring himself to refuse Mengmeng's sweet and tender request.

"Okay, brother will listen to you and spare them this time."

He gently pinched her cheek affectionately, his tone filled with helplessness and resignation.

Mengmeng smiled happily and continued to drink her porridge obediently.

After feeding her, Gu Shiyu got up and went downstairs.

His gaze turned cold again, carrying a strong sense of oppression.

The night is deep.

Outside the Gu family's gate, the Lu family members still stood there, the cold wind constantly lashing against them.

Xie Qingyi wrapped her coat tighter around herself, her face pale.

But she still stood straight, her eyes filled with anxiety and trepidation.

"Mom, it's so cold..."

Sweetie muttered something under her breath and tried to pull Mrs. Lu back to the car to avoid the storm.

However, Xie Qingyi shook her head, her eyes still fixed on the Gu family's gate.

Just when everyone was about to despair, a tall figure slowly walked out of the Gu family home.

The figure stood tall and aloof in the night, exuding an extremely strong aura and an innate sense of authority.

"It's Gu Shiyu!"

Xie Qingyi was the first to see him, and her eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Almost instinctively, I took a few steps forward.

Mr. Lu and Lu Rongsheng followed immediately, their eyes filled with hope.

"Young Master Gu, it's really a misunderstanding! Our Lu family has absolutely no malicious intent..."

Lu Mingxuan looked nervous, his tone full of pleading.

"Young Master Gu, please give us another chance."

"Although the Lu Group has not been as powerful as the Gu family in recent years, we have always worked diligently to contribute to society. If the Lu family collapses because of this incident, the entire social chain of Jiangcheng will be shaken. I beg you... to give the Lu family a way out."

Madam Lu trembled slightly with nervousness, looking at Gu Shiyu with a face full of anxiety.

Lu Rongsheng also looked at Gu Shiyu with anticipation. Although he and Gu Shiyu were classmates, he was not confident that Gu Shiyu would make an exception for them because they were classmates.

After all, the one who was hurt was their beloved younger sister.

Gu Shiyu's expression remained cold.

He lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd in front of him, his voice completely calm.

"Your company has nothing to do with me; I only care about Mengmeng."

"If it weren't for her pleading, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to stand here."

"Go back now. The Gu family will let you go this time. But from now on, the Lu family and the Gu family will have no further dealings."

Upon hearing this, the Lu family members breathed a sigh of relief, as this was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

The termination of cooperation with the Gu family was indeed a huge loss for the Lu family, but at least it preserved the safety of the entire Lu Group.

Lu Mingxuan nodded quickly and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Young Master Gu, thank you for your kindness..."

However, Madam Lu, Xie Qingyi, was still filled with resentment.

He asked anxiously, "Is Mengmeng awake yet? Can I... see her?"

She really wanted to know what Gu Jia's Mengmeng looked like...

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Rongsheng also looked at Gu Shiyu with expectant faces, their hearts filled with curiosity about Mengmeng.

Meanwhile, Tian Tian's face had already darkened, and the fire of jealousy was burning fiercely in her heart.

Seeing the Lu family's concern and curiosity towards Mengmeng, jealousy and resentment almost overwhelmed her.

Why does Mengmeng receive so much attention?

Why is it that even though she replaced Mengmeng, she still lives in Mengmeng's shadow?

Gu Shiyu glanced at the Lu family members indifferently, his voice icy.

"No."

His tone left no room for negotiation.

He then waved his hand indifferently, ordering someone to escort the Lu family away.

Although the Lu family members were unwilling, they were helpless.

He could only turn away dejectedly.

Xie Qingyi kept turning back, her disappointment barely concealed. Mr. Lu and Lu Rongsheng also kept turning back every few steps.

at this time,

Their eyes suddenly caught sight of a small figure by the window upstairs.

A little girl wearing cute pajamas, with slightly curly hair, is peering out the window.

Is this the adorable girl they've been wanting to meet all this time?!
