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

Aunt Xue looked at Mengmeng with increasingly gentle eyes.

A relieved smile appeared on her lips.

"Mengmeng, I feel like I've made amends a little by taking this bullet for you..."

The only warmth I've ever felt in my life comes from you, Mengmeng.

"It would be worth dying for you..."

Aunt Xue slowly closed her eyes and completely fainted.

Gu Jingsi hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Aunt Xue, his expression solemn.

Gu Shiyu gently comforted Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, the doctor will be here soon, Aunt Xue will be fine."

Mengmeng nodded, her voice choked with emotion, her eyes red-rimmed, and resolutely wiped away her tears.

"I will use the Spirit Butterfly to save Aunt Xue... I won't let her leave..."

……

After Mengmeng and Gu Jingsi, who was carrying Aunt Xue, left,

Gu Shiyu's eyes were as cold as ice as he ordered his bodyguards to take Old Madam Gu and Ji Mengran away.

As she was being pushed and shoved, Old Madam Gu shouted angrily, clearly indignant:

"How dare you! You disrespect your elders!"

Gu Shiyu glanced at her coldly, his voice deep and authoritative.

"Elders? The moment they come back, they cause chaos in the Gu family and disrupt the peace of the Gu family. Such 'elders' are not worthy of respect."

He waved.

He ordered his men to imprison Madam Gu and Ji Mengran separately, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

He turned around and coldly ordered his followers.

"Go to Xie Beiling's research institute to get a few vials of medicine and inject them into the old lady."

Let her recall the pain and suffering she experienced!

His tone revealed a coldness that had been suppressed for a long time.

His nominal grandmother, who only recovered her health with the help of Mengmeng's fairy butterfly, is so domineering and arrogant, as if she has long forgotten her past illness.

They seek a new life through such despicable means, yet they show no appreciation for it whatsoever.

Not only did she show no gratitude towards Mengmeng, but she also joined forces with Ji Mengran to harm Mengmeng.

Mengmeng is the apple of their family's eye!! If you dare to touch Mengmeng, don't blame him for being ruthless and merciless!!

The servants locked Ji Mengran in a dark, secret room.

In the dim light, the cold glint of the blade grazed Ji Mengran's face.

Screams and blood mingled together...

From time to time, the wails and threats of Old Madam Gu and Ji Mengran could be heard from the courtyard.

Gu Shiyu's gaze remained cold and unmoved.

Shortly after, Gu Shiche slowly walked out of the dark room.

He casually tossed the bloodstained knife on the ground, and a servant immediately handed him a hot towel.

Gu Shiche slowly wiped his hands, a cold smile on his face.

It seems that just now, I did nothing but a trivial little thing.

Walking to Gu Shiyu's side, he said softly, "Ji Mengran has been dealt with."

His tone was gentle, yet it carried a hint of coldness.

"She drove my mother away back then, and ultimately caused her to die far from home. I only left a scar on her face, and she actually dared to try to erase it. She's really dreaming."

His words were gentle, but every word contained a sharp edge.

That understated ruthlessness startled Gu Shiyu slightly.

The second brother truly hated Ji Mengran to the core!

Gu Shiche recently returned to school. He had just come home from school and returned to the Gu family home when he saw blood all over the floor. The atmosphere was oppressive.

Upon hearing that Ji Mengran had brought Old Madam Gu to cause trouble, his eyes instantly turned cold, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. Without saying a word, he grabbed a knife and headed straight for the secret room.

In the dark room, he calmly and decisively slashed the knife across Ji Mengran's cheek, leaving deep, intersecting cuts on both sides.

Looking at the scars on her face, Gu Shiche sneered inwardly.

This is just a light touch, meant to serve as a warning.

She was greedy and scheming, plotting to climb the social ladder. Disfiguring her was merely a lesson for her. This woman's crimes go far beyond this; she truly deserves to die a thousand deaths.

After a long silence between the two, Gu Shiche spoke up calmly, "Shouldn't we arrange a few bodyguards for Mengmeng? There are always some blind fools who try to bully her. With bodyguards, she can be protected at any time."

Gu Shiyu nodded, his voice calm and firm.

"I'll make arrangements."

After saying that, his gaze involuntarily shifted towards the direction of the ice room, and an overwhelming sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the father, Gu Yinshen, never appeared, as if he were isolated in another world, stubbornly staying by his mother's side.

Deep heartache and disappointment surfaced in Gu Shiyu's eyes.

Heartbreakingly, the father is already deeply bound by his feelings for the mother, unable to extricate himself, while the mother is no longer capable of giving any response; disappointingly, the father hasn't been protective enough of Mengmeng, and in his heart, it seems everyone else comes after the mother...

Gu Shiyu patted Gu Shiche on the shoulder and instructed him, "Take good care of Mengmeng."

Then I walked toward the ice room.

Pushing open the door to the ice room, a strong smell of smoke hits you, almost suffocating you.

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but cough a few times, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

In the dim light, Father Gu Yinshen knelt beside the ice coffin, looking utterly lost.

It was as if they had sunk into an abyss of grief, completely detached from reality.

A sharp pain shot through his heart. Gu Shiyu raised his hand and turned on the room light, the cold light instantly filling the ice chamber.

He stepped forward again, opened the skylight, and let in fresh air...

Feeling the cool breeze, Gu Yinshen finally snapped out of his daze.

His gaze finally focused, but he shouted angrily:

"Are you crazy! The wind blowing in will harm your mother's health, turn it off right now!"

Gu Shiyu did not move, his expression cold and resolute.

Gu Yinshen's eyes reddened, filled with anger and a hint of pleading, "I told you to close the window!"

Gu Shiyu remained unmoved.

Finally, Gu Yinshen reluctantly dragged his weak legs and slowly moved towards the light switch, trying to close the window.

The moment his hand touched the switch, Gu Shiyu shoved his hand back and knocked him heavily to the ground.

Gu Shiyu looked down at him, his eyes filled with coldness and disappointment.

"Dad, haven't you made enough of a scene?"

Gu Shiyu's voice was icy, making no attempt to hide his disappointment.

"Look at yourself now, you're not even human anymore. I still remember my father as a cheerful, domineering, and reassuring man..."

And now... you're no longer him at all!

Gu Yinshen stood frozen on the ground, looking down at the floor, his expression revealing disappointment and sorrow.

Gu Shiyu took a deep breath and continued in a cold voice, "Grandma and Ji Mengran came to the house. They bullied Mengmeng and even pointed a gun at her."

Upon hearing this, a change finally appeared on Gu Yinshen's face.

He nervously raised his head, his expression flustered, his voice filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry... How is Mengmeng? Is she... is she hurt?"

Gu Shiyu snorted coldly.

"Asking now? It's too late."

"If anything really happens to Mengmeng, you have no right to ever mention the word 'father' again."

Gu Yinshen could barely guess from Gu Shiyu's indifference that Mengmeng should be safe and sound.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, my heart still felt heavy, and I closed my eyes in pain.

Gu Yinshen murmured softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore Mengmeng..."

But I really miss your mother so much... I didn't hear anything outside at all.

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep guilt and helplessness.

Gu Shiyu stood coldly to the side, offering no response, his gaze gradually shifting to his mother's figure inside the ice coffin.

Complex emotions of longing and pain surfaced in his eyes.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice slightly choked with emotion:

"Dad, let's cremate Mom... Stop having unrealistic fantasies."
