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

Chapter 316 Sudden Change of Nature

Ruolan felt a slight sweat on her palms and looked down at Tiantian, who was holding her hand tightly beside her. She stopped and placed her hand on Tiantian's forehead with concern. "Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating?"

The air in Jiangcheng is colder at night than during the day. Wearing only a jacket, she felt chilly and was even sweating.

Hearing Gu Yinshen's footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, Tian Tian panicked and grabbed Ruolan's hand, quickening her pace as she walked upstairs.

"Slow down, slow down!" Ruolan reminded her worriedly.

Upon reaching the second-floor corridor, Tian Tian turned around and, seeing that Gu Yinshen hadn't followed, immediately pushed open the door and slipped into the room.

"Sweetie!" Ruolan called out in confusion.

The closing of the door blocked out the sound, and Ruolan did not receive a response from Tiantian.

She stared at the door, a slight doubt in her mind.

Are you too tired? Why are you in such a hurry to get back to your room?

"Why are you standing here?" Gu Yinshen walked up and saw Ruolan standing motionless at the door of Tiantian's room.

Even without asking, he could guess why she was standing there in a daze.

“Yin Shen, I think we’ve been too harsh on Tian Tian.” After thinking for a while, Ruo Lan expressed her thoughts. “She’s still young, and she’s been wandering around for years, doing things that are typical of spoiled children. We should be more understanding of her.”

Gu Yinshen didn't want to delve into this question. He stepped forward and rubbed Ruolan's shoulder. "It's getting late. Are you tired? Go back to your room and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."

After a night of running around and all that trouble, Ruolan was indeed exhausted. She nodded, turned her gaze away from Tian Tian's door, and followed Gu Yinshen back to her own room.

Behind the door, as the footsteps faded into the distance, Tian Tian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place.

I returned to bed with peace of mind, lay flat on my back, and stared at the ceiling above me.

Last night was a serious mistake. Her position in the Gu family is no longer what it used to be, and she can't continue to do things like throwing a tantrum and running away from home.

She tossed and turned, thinking about how to minimize her presence in the Gu family while still successfully accomplishing her tasks.

The Gu family spent the quiet latter half of the night at the Gu residence.

"Be gentler in your tone later, don't be too harsh." Ruolan stood in front of Gu Yinshen, tiptoed, and reached out to straighten his collar.

Gu Yinshen looked down at Ruolan's worried face and reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. "I know, don't worry."

"Mmm." Ruolan nodded, leaning forward to press her cheek against Gu Yinshen's chest.

After snuggling together for a moment, the two came out of the room together.

Downstairs at the dining table, everyone was already seated, waiting for Gu Yinshen and Ruolan to arrive.

Sweetie watched them come down the stairs, immediately got off her chair, and pulled out the chairs that were meant for the two of them.

"Mom and Dad, come and sit down!"

The others watched Tian Tian's actions with surprise and astonishment, but they were more curious about what she would do next and what she was planning.

Ruolan looked at Gu Yinshen, who was frowning, and gently touched his arm, reminding him to go and sit down.

Having already agreed to her in the room, Gu Yinshen remained silent, glancing at the chair that Tian Tian had pulled out, and walked forward.

"Mommy~" Sweetie couldn't wait to go forward and take Ruolan's hand, making her sit in the chair that Ruolan had pulled out.

After everyone watched as Tian Tian took her seat, they waited for her next move.

Before anyone knew it, Tian Tian picked up her chopsticks and started eating breakfast.

Ruolan glanced at Gu Yinshen, exchanged a few words with him, and they both started eating without asking any more questions.

A peaceful breakfast came to an end, and everyone was somewhat surprised that Sweetie hadn't caused any trouble.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to school." Tian Tian picked up her schoolbag, which she had left on the sofa that morning, and obediently slung it over her shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng quickly asked, "Sister Tiantian, do we want to come together?"

"Okay," Sweetie nodded in agreement.

Gu Shiyu was reluctant, but he couldn't stop Mengmeng from doing so. He stepped forward and said, "Mengmeng, I'll go with you guys in a bit."

"Okay!" Mengmeng cheered, then realized she hadn't asked Tiantian's opinion. After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously looked at Tiantian, "Sister Tiantian, can my brother come with us?"

"Of course." Sweetie still had a smile on her face, looking very easy to talk to.

Mengmeng was surprised by her reaction, but she was secretly very happy. She felt that Tiantian was now accepting them and was no longer as hostile as before.

But Gu Shiyu felt that she was not as simple as she seemed, and that she might be hiding some evil things in her heart.

The three of them sat in the car, and Mengmeng chatted with Tiantian in a friendly manner.

"Sister Sweetie, I haven't been to school for the past two days. Has anything interesting happened at school?"

"No."

Realizing her words were a bit cold, Tian Tian quickly smiled and replied again, "No, but your good friend Tang Tang asked me why you haven't been to school these days."

"Really?" Mengmeng asked excitedly, "Did your older sister tell her?"

"No, after all, I didn't know exactly what you guys did the other day." After saying that, Tian Tian met Meng Meng's gaze.

For a moment, Mengmeng sensed envy in her words and immediately felt embarrassed, not wanting to press further and upset Tiantian.

"Brother, how much longer until we get to school?" Mengmeng turned to ask Gu Shiyu, indirectly ignoring her conversation with Tiantian.

Sweetie glanced back at Gu Shiyu, who was still on guard against her, then closed her eyes and began to conserve her energy.

"We're almost there. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see Tangtang as soon as possible."

Mengmeng excitedly rubbed her hands together.

She hadn't seen Tangtang for the past few days and missed her terribly. She had just learned from Tiantian that Tangtang also missed her very much, which made her even more eager to see her.

Hearing this, Gu Shiyu looked up and called out to Old Zhang in the driver's seat, "Uncle Zhang, if it's safe to drive, go a little faster."

"Okay," Uncle Zhang replied, gently pressing down on the accelerator.

Feeling the car's speed increase, Mengmeng kept a happy smile on her face and looked expectantly out the window.

"arrive!"

As soon as Lao Zhang spoke, Tian Tian immediately opened her eyes. She looked at Meng Meng, who was already eager to get off the bus, and slowly picked up her schoolbag and opened the car door.

"Mengmeng!"

As soon as she got out of the car, Tangtang excitedly ran over here.

Sweetie blocked the car door; she couldn't stand the two being so intimate and deliberately blocked Mengmeng from getting out.

"Tangtang!" Mengmeng stretched her head and shook her arms in response to Tangtang running towards her.
