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

"Brother, let's go with Uncle Ling. With more people, we can search faster." Mengmeng rubbed her stomach, indicating, "Mengmeng isn't hungry yet, I can still hold on."

How could I not be hungry? My stomach had been growling in protest for a while now. Finding Xie Yumin was important, but Mengmeng's health was even more important. She was at the age where she was growing, and she couldn't afford to go hungry.

Gu Shiyu disagreed with Mengmeng's statement and turned to Xie Beiling, saying, "Uncle Ling, if there is any emergency here, you can call me. I will take Mengmeng to eat nearby."

“Okay, you take Mengmeng with you, I can manage on my own.” Xie Beiling shared the same thought as Gu Shiyu.

We might not be able to find Xie Yumin tonight, and we can't let uncertainties affect Mengmeng's health. After all, she's everyone's lucky charm.

At Gu Shiyu's insistence, Mengmeng was taken to the restaurant next door.

"Brother, this restaurant doesn't seem to be doing very well." Mengmeng looked around and saw that apart from their table, there wasn't another table of customers.

This street is clearly very bustling, and the restaurants around it are all doing great business, so why is this one empty?

Mengmeng felt sorry for the restaurant owner.

Gu Shiyu closed the menu and beckoned to the waiter beside him.

"I've booked the entire venue."

"Brother, what does it mean to book the entire venue?"

Mengmeng looked at Gu Shiyu with an innocent expression.

"Having the entire restaurant booked out means that we are the only table of guests allowed in the restaurant at this time," Gu Shiyu explained patiently.

"A table full of people?" Mengmeng glanced at the idle waiters in front of her. "Does brother know the owner of this restaurant?"

Gu Shiyu looked at Mengmeng with affection, "My dear Mengmeng, let's not dwell on this issue anymore, let's eat first."

The waiters lined up in an orderly fashion, placing plates of food on the table one by one.

Each dish was exceptionally exquisite, and the aroma of the food filled the air.

Mengmeng watched with longing eyes, her stomach growling even louder.

"Brother, can we eat now?"

"of course can."

Gu Shiyu used a fork to pick up food and put it into Mengmeng's bowl.

Mengmeng picked up her chopsticks and put them in her mouth, stuffing her mouth full.

"Slow down, no rush." ​​Gu Shiyu handed the cup to Mengmeng.

Mengmeng took a big gulp of water, swallowing the remaining food and water in her mouth. Then, she looked around and whispered to Gu Shiyu, "Brother, the food here isn't as good as what Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue cook."

"Should we try another one?" Gu Shiyu asked.

Mengmeng quickly shook her head, "Brother, you seem to have misunderstood. What I meant was that this food is not as good as what we have at home."

Gu Shiyu understood the meaning, but one thing was certain: if it wasn't as good as the others, it didn't mean it wasn't tasty. So he wanted to give Mengmeng the best, not just settle for something less.

Gu Shiyu raised his hand and called over the waiter who was waiting for instructions.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

"Remove these and have another chef cook a new one."

"Change the chef?"

The waiter was taken aback by Gu Shiyu's words.

The restaurant has a permanent team of chefs who are certified chefs, and no one has ever complained that the food they cook is not good.

Seeing the waiter's predicament, Mengmeng quickly said to Gu Shiyu, "Brother, there's no need to cook it again. Let's finish eating quickly and go find Uncle Ling."

"Doesn't Mengmeng dislike it?" Gu Shiyu asked.

Mengmeng shook her head, "No, Mengmeng likes it very much."

After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that Gu Shiyu was no longer insisting, the waiter involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

The two seemingly young children in front of us were incredibly generous. They booked the entire venue without hesitation; these were customers that lowly waiters like us couldn't afford to offend.

"Do you two guests require anything else?" the waiter asked respectfully, bowing low.

Seeing that Mengmeng was engrossed in eating, Gu Shiyu waved his hand to dismiss the waiter.

Outside, Xie Beiling moved quickly through the center of the square.

"Yu Mian!"

"Who are you?"

Xie Beiling grabbed a woman's arm and turned her around. Looking at her face, he disappointedly let go.

The woman, startled, quickly moved away from Xie Beiling.

Why is Xie Yumin the only one missing from the square when there are so many people there?

Xie Beiling stood there listlessly, watching the passersby come and go. People thronged past him, and he seemed frozen in place.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, and gasps of surprise echoed around them.

"It is going to rain!"

"It's raining!"

The pedestrians quickened their pace, making Xie Beiling, who remained motionless, seem even more out of place.

In an instant, a torrential downpour began.

Xie Yumin was forced to run. She watched the red light across the zebra crossing count down and quickened her pace.

crunch~

She fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The driver quickly got out of the car and anxiously helped Xie Yumin up from the ground. "Miss, are you alright?"

The dirty rainwater stained her clothes, and the cold seeped into her body.

"I'm fine." Xie Yumin glanced at the man inside the car.

The driver noticed her soiled clothes, glanced back at the man in the car, and said, "Miss, could you please wait for me?"

Before the words were even finished, the driver had already run to the car.

The car window was rolled down, and after exchanging a few words with the man inside, the driver jogged back to Xie Yumin's side.

"Miss, since I was the one who bumped into you, I'll take you to the hospital for a full check-up now. Is this a convenient place for you?"

Xie Yumin didn't want to appear anywhere Xie Beiling might find her, so she shook her head and refused, saying, "No need, I'm fine."

The car behind was already honking, and Xie Yumin didn't want to disrupt traffic. She glanced down at her clothes and started walking forward.

"Miss!"

A deep, resonant voice came from behind, and Xie Yumin turned around.

The man, dressed in a suit and carrying a long-handled black umbrella, walked towards her step by step. "Where are you going? Let us see you off."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. After considering it, Xie Yumin nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your trouble."

She is penniless and has no money to take a taxi.

Once inside the car, she looked at the soiled seats and then, feeling embarrassed, glanced at the man. "I think I'll get out!"

"It's alright, just tell me the address, and I'll have Lao Zhang deliver it to you," the man said.

address?

She was now penniless and had nowhere to go. In that instant, Xie Yumin regretted getting on the bus.

"Is it inconvenient to say? Or you can tell me the location nearby," the man continued to ask.

After hesitating for a long time, Xie Yumin said embarrassedly, "I have nowhere to go. Could you take me to a nearby hotel and book me a room?"
