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

In the past, Xie Yumin would never have dared to ask a strange man for help. But now she had no choice; the man in front of her was the only lifeline she could grasp.

The man was initially shocked, but then he realized that Xie Yumin was in trouble.

"Old Zhang, go to a nearby hotel."

At a command, the car immediately started moving.

In the center of the square, when Gu Shiyu brought Mengmeng out of the restaurant, Xie Beiling was already soaked to the bone.

"Uncle Ling!" Mengmeng's eyes were filled with worry.

The rain is so cold, will Uncle Ling get sick?

Compared to his mental state when they parted, Xie Beiling had now reverted to his drunken state before leaving the house.

Gu Shiyu couldn't understand how he had become so dejected again in just half an hour.

"Uncle Ling, have you seen Aunt Yu Mian?" Gu Shiyu stepped forward, opened the extra umbrella he had taken from the restaurant, and stuffed it into his hand.

Hearing the question in his ear, Xie Beiling weakly lifted his eyelids and his gaze lingered on Gu Shiyu and Mengmeng for a few seconds.

“Uncle Ling, it’s raining. Aunt Yu Mian must have already left. Let’s go back first and come out to look for Aunt Yu Mian again when we have any more clues,” Gu Shiyu said.

While Gu Shiyu was speaking, Mengmeng summoned a butterfly.

Undeterred by the rain soaking their wings, these butterflies soared high above the square.

"Even though it's raining, butterflies are still flying in the sky."

"Stop looking, the butterfly will fall down soon."

The passerby's words made Gu Shiyu shift his gaze away from Xie Beiling.

He watched as Mengmeng quietly followed the direction the butterfly flew, and waited patiently as well.

"Little Butterfly, is Aunt Yumian still here?"

Inside the space, Mengmeng communicated with the butterflies using her thoughts.

"Mengmeng, she left ten minutes ago. There's no trace of her in the square anymore."

"It could also be because of the rain that we can't receive any trace of her presence now."

The butterfly responded, which put Mengmeng in a difficult position.

She gave Uncle Ling hope, but even after he arrived, he still couldn't find Aunt Yu Mian.

"Little butterflies, try a little harder. I don't want Uncle Ling to go home heartbroken."

"We'll do our best."

The butterflies slowed their flight and circled the square once more.

Five minutes later, the butterflies flew back to Mengmeng's shoulder.

"Mengmeng, we still can't smell Xie Yumin's presence. She may really be gone."

"Alright then, little butterflies, thank you for your hard work. You should rest quickly and eat some divine flower to replenish your strength."

The little butterflies circled around Mengmeng once and then disappeared.

"Mengmeng, how are you?" Gu Shiyu asked. "Is Aunt Yumian still there?"

Mengmeng looked at Xie Beiling, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she just shook her head.

Gu Shiyu understood and immediately said to Xie Beiling, "Uncle Ling, it's getting late, let's go back first."

Although Xie Beiling was heartbroken, he was not confused and could see that even Mengmeng couldn't find Xie Yumin.

He could accept that they couldn't become lovers despite being siblings, but he couldn't accept Xie Yumin avoiding him like the plague.

"You guys go back first," Xie Beiling said, unwilling to give up.

From the initial assumptions Little Butterfly made about Xie Yumin, he firmly believed she wouldn't leave so soon. Now that it's raining, she must be sheltering from the rain in some restaurant or shop.

"Uncle Ling, Aunt Yu Mian has already left. Why don't you let your brother take you home first?" Mengmeng advised.

leave?

Xie Beiling suddenly retorted loudly, "No, impossible! It's raining, how could she possibly leave!"

In Mengmeng's heart, Xie Beiling had always been gentle. His current rage frightened her.

"Uncle Ling!" Gu Shiyu shouted angrily.

I've been with him since dusk, searching for Xie Yumin. He doesn't even care about Mengmeng, and he dares to be so fierce!

Seeing Xie Beiling's dejected appearance, Gu Shiyu instantly lost his patience. He grabbed Mengmeng's arm, took her, and turned to leave.

"Brother, Uncle Ling is still there!" Mengmeng turned around and looked at Xie Beiling, who had thrown his umbrella on the ground and let the cold rain hit him.

He is punishing himself by getting soaked in the rain.

Gu Shiyu didn't want Mengmeng to accompany Xie Beiling in his madness any longer, so he insisted on taking her to the car and leaving.

As the car drove past Xie Beiling, Mengmeng peered out the window at Xie Beiling as he drove away into the distance.

"Brother!" Mengmeng pouted, "How could you leave Uncle Ling there alone? What if he suddenly gets sick and faints? Or what if he gets bullied by bad people?"

"He yelled at Mengmeng so loudly just now, didn't Mengmeng get angry?"

“Why are you angry with Uncle Ling? Mengmeng understands Uncle Ling. He can’t accept Aunt Yumian’s departure, so he’s in a bad mood. Just like Dad, he gets unhappy and haggard because of Mom.” Mengmeng explained earnestly.

If Aunt Yumian goes back to Uncle Ling's side, he will be very happy and won't let himself become worse.

Gu Shiyu felt utterly ashamed. If what had just happened had happened to him, he would never have spoken to Xie Beiling again. Yet Mengmeng didn't seem to care about her own grievances, but instead considered Xie Beiling's feelings.

"Mengmeng, don't just think about other people's feelings, think about your own too." Gu Shiyu stroked her hair and gently taught her.

But in Mengmeng's heart, she didn't think that considering others meant compromising herself.

"Uncle Ling loves me very much, and I like Uncle Ling very much too. I hope everyone around me is happy, so Mengmeng will be happy too." After Mengmeng finished speaking, she took Gu Shiyu's hand and asked, "Have Mommy and Daddy made up?"

this……

Gu Shiyu was busy with Xie Beiling's affairs all day, and he didn't pay any attention to his parents' matters.

"Probably," Gu Shiyu said uncertainly.

"Brother, let's go home quickly, I miss Mom and Dad," Mengmeng urged.

……

five star hotel.

"Sir, I only need one night."

“I have a regular room here, and I can stay as long as I want.”

Ignoring Xie Yumin's words, the man handed her the VIP room card.

The card in her hand radiated golden light; it was clearly very thin, yet Xie Yumin held it as if it were a hot potato.

How can she repay the debts she owes to the people she owes?

"Miss, I don't know how to address you yet?" the man said. "My surname is Chen, you can call me Mr. Chen."

Xie Yumin clasped her hands together, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I can't reveal my name."

Given Xie Beiling's connections in Jiangcheng, she worried that the man in front of her might know him.

"Alright then, I won't force you. Miss, please get some rest. If you need anything, please contact the front desk."

"Thank you."
