The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.
Chapter 84 Returning Late at Night
When Ruolan was in a bad mood, Gu Yinshen's mood worsened as well. Deep down, his biggest worry at that moment was that Ruolan would recall the terrible things she had already forgotten.
He didn't hear Mengmeng calling him and just walked past her.
Mengmeng looked at Gu Yinshen's heavy back with worry in her eyes.
Dad had finally become happy because of Ruolan's mother's awakening, so why did he suddenly revert to his previous state?
Did they have a fight?
To find out, Mengmeng turned around and followed Gu Yinshen's footsteps.
"Mengmeng." Gu Shiche grabbed Mengmeng's hand, blocking her way. "Let Daddy have some peace and quiet first."
The awakening of Ruolan's mother was the thing they all looked forward to the most. But there were too many factors involved, and Gu Yinshen would also have to bear other pressures when he regained Ruolan.
But Mengmeng doesn't understand these things; she just wants everyone around her to be happy.
"Second brother, how can we make Daddy happy?" Mengmeng asked Gu Shiche sincerely.
It's probably because none of the unhappy things that happened between Dad and Mom before have happened, otherwise there would still be resentment between them, and they would become unhappy.
Looking at Mengmeng's worried little face, Gu Shiche unconsciously reached out and stroked it. "Some things need to be handled by the adults themselves; others can't interfere."
“Others? But I am their daughter, not someone else.” Mengmeng retorted with utmost seriousness.
Her big, round eyes radiated innocence. She possessed something they lacked, and her presence was like a clear spring, nourishing and cleansing everyone.
Gu Shiche didn't know how to answer her question, so he could only respond with silence.
"Mengmeng? How did you get back?" Gu Yinshen turned around and looked at Mengmeng and Gu Shiche standing there. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it had been an hour since Mengmeng returned, and he had completely forgotten to pick her up.
Hearing the shouts, Mengmeng immediately ran towards Gu Yinshen's direction.
"Dad, it was my second brother who picked me up."
"is it?"
As Gu Yinshen listened to Mengmeng's words, he looked at Gu Shiche, who was still standing there and hadn't come over yet.
Mengmeng answered first, "Yes, my second brother also said that he will come to pick me up from school every day."
"Shi Che, Shi Yu hasn't been home lately either, so we might really need you to pick Mengmeng up from school." Gu Yinshen sighed after saying this. Feeling that Mengmeng was still there, he immediately forced a smile. "I have some things to take care of at the company. Mengmeng, can you look after Mom for Dad?"
Currently, Mengmeng is the only one in the family who can stir up everyone's emotions. With her around, Ruolan's attention might also be diverted.
Stay with Mom? That's great, she can stay close to Ruolan's mother.
Mengmeng was more than willing; her head was nodding rapidly like a pestle being pounded, and her heart was already racing towards the second floor.
......
"Does Master Mancang still have no intention of coming out of seclusion?" Gu Shiyu sat at the table, with a vegetarian meal prepared for him by the young Taoist priest in front of him.
Over the past two days, the young Taoist priest has come to regard Gu Shiyu as a spiritual practitioner who has come to the mountain to find peace of mind.
“It may take a long time, you should go back first. I will tell Master Mancang about your search for him when he comes out of the mountain,” the young Taoist said.
Not seeing Master Mancang every day made Gu Shiyu very anxious. He also missed Mengmeng terribly, not being able to see her. He wondered how she was doing at home while he was away.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Shiyu had the idea of going down the mountain.
The thought that Ziyang Daoist's existence could harm Mengmeng at any time, and the fact that he couldn't accept going down the mountain without finding out how to subdue Ziyang Daoist, made him realize that he was in no position to go back.
Seeing his conflicted and struggling expression, the young Taoist priest said nothing more and focused on eating the vegetarian meal in front of him.
......
Xie Beiling searched every place in Jiangcheng where Xie Yumin might go, but he couldn't find her anywhere.
He waited so many years, trying everything to save Xie Yumin from her vegetative state. He thought his dedication and efforts would surely make Xie Yumin feel his sincere love. But after she woke up, she so heartlessly left with the words, "It's never going to happen again."
Looking up at the dark sky, Xie Beiling raised the corners of his lips, but the smile on his face was a hundred times uglier than crying.
Tick-tock~Tick-tock~
He raised his hand and touched his cheek, his fingertips brushing against the dampness, his gaze falling on the glistening water droplets on his fingertips.
"It's raining!"
"This rain really came out of nowhere!"
The surrounding pedestrians began to complain and started running away.
The raindrops that were falling one by one just a second ago suddenly poured down in an instant.
Xie Beiling strolled through the rain, a stark contrast to those around him. The icy rain mingled with his warm tears as it hit his face. Passersby paid him no heed, hurrying on their way.
When Xie Beiling returned to the research institute, he was already in a terrible state.
"Professor Xie?" The female researcher exclaimed as she came out after finishing her experiment and saw Xie Beiling in the rain.
Hearing the calls, Xie Beiling looked up. His throat was already hoarse, and he managed to utter a strained voice, "Has she... come back?"
Everyone in the research team knew who the "she" they were talking about was.
Since Xie Yumin woke up and left, Xie Beiling has been absent-minded every day, as if he has become a different person, and he devotes all his energy to finding Xie Yumin.
The female researcher didn't know how to respond to him, so she held up her umbrella and walked quickly toward Xie Beiling, saying, "Professor Xie, please take this."
Xie Beiling glanced at the umbrella handle but didn't reach out. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he moved forward weakly.
......
Late at night, the car headlights illuminated the Gu residence, which was shrouded in darkness. The car door opened from the inside, and Gu Shiyu emerged from the darkness into the light.
After much deliberation, he realized that waiting for Master Mancang would take forever, so he decided to return and stay by Mengmeng's side.
Hearing the noise, Xiaobai nimbly jumped off the bed and ran to the balcony.
"Mengmeng!" Xiaobai exclaimed excitedly.
"Xiaobai, did you call me?" Mengmeng peeked out and looked towards the balcony.
Xiao Bai waved his arm and said again, "Shi Yu is back!"
"What? Brother's back?" Mengmeng couldn't believe it. Excitedly, she threw off the covers and got out of bed. Overwhelmed with longing and wanting to see Gu Shiyu as soon as possible, she didn't even bother to put on her shoes and stomped down the floor.
Gu Shiyu was holding a water glass, about to drink, when he heard the noise behind him and turned around.
"Mengmeng?" He looked surprised, then quickly noticed Mengmeng's bare feet. "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
In a few steps, Gu Shiyu arrived in front of Mengmeng and picked her up from the ground.
