Gu Sinan really wanted to rush up and apologize to Jiang Ranran, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart stopping him.

The boy's competitive spirit forced Gu Sinan to hold back and not go over to apologize to Jiang Ranran.

Gu Sinan wiped his tears and turned his head away stubbornly, trying hard not to hear Jiang Ranran's crying, although that voice kept lingering in Gu Sinan's mind.

In the evening, the friends that Gu Sinan invited arrived as scheduled. They were none other than Ah Zhen and Rongrong, mother and daughter.

Gu Sinan went out to greet them, and as soon as he saw Rongrong and Azhen, he immediately forced a smile.

"You are here. I am really sorry for not going out to greet you in person." Gu Sinan felt a little guilty. In fact, the reason why he invited them was that he felt that he had never had any real friends since he was a child.

All the so-called friends in the past were friends for the sake of the Gu family. They chose Gu Sinan as their friend because of the power of the Gu family and their own face. No one really appreciated Gu Sinan as a person.

But Rongrong and Azhen are different. Although they are poor, they don't treat him as a sucker and flatter him.

They treated Gu Sinan sincerely and entertained him warmly, all because Gu Sinan had helped them before and they were grateful.

Such a person who is grateful and yet neither humble nor arrogant is exactly what Gu Sinan admires.

Rongrong took off her coat skillfully and looked around the magnificent furnishings of the Gu family. Gu Sinan was originally worried that Rongrong and Ah Zhen would not be able to adapt to the environment here and would feel uncomfortable, but Rongrong's reaction told Gu Sinan that he was just overthinking it.

Rongrong's eyes shone slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and turned to look at Gu Sinan with a smile, "Your home is even more luxurious than I imagined."

Ah Zhen walked forward, gently nudged Rongrong with his elbow, looked at Gu Sinan awkwardly and said, "Master, we are sorry to come here and have only prepared a small gift. I wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Gu will appreciate it..." As Ah Zhen spoke, he took out the gift he had prepared from behind and looked at Gu Sinan nervously.

Seeing Ah Zhen's polite look, Gu Sinan couldn't help but frown.

Seeing Gu Sinan's unhappy expression, Rongrong hurriedly said, "These things cost my mother a month's salary. I told her not to be so polite, but she didn't listen to me."

"What do you know, kid? This is your first visit to Mr. and Mrs. Gu, so of course you have to show some appreciation." Ah Zhen educated Rongrong in the tone of an experienced person.

Rongrong curled her lips but didn't argue with Ah Zhen.

Gu Sinan's face darkened, and he told Ah Zhen in a serious and cold tone, "This time I'm inviting you personally. My parents won't be in person."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Ah Zhen's face froze slightly.

She looked at the gift in her hand with some embarrassment, her eyes a little confused.

But Ah Zhen quickly calmed down, put the things aside, looked at Gu Sinan with a smile and said, "That's right, we are from a small family, and I guess Mr. Gu and his wife will not like the things we prepared. It's better not to meet, so as to avoid embarrassment for everyone."

As soon as the words fell, a crisp voice sounded from upstairs.

"Sinan said he wanted to invite his friends. You must be Sinan's friends, right?" Jiang Ranran saw someone downstairs and hurried out to greet them, trying hard to make herself look more enthusiastic.

When Ah Zhen saw Jiang Ranran, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to address Jiang Ranran.

Jiang Ranran immediately understood the other party's confusion and hurriedly introduced herself: "I am Sinan's mother, my name is Jiang Ranran."

When Ah Zhen heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Gu. I, I am..."

Ah Zhen didn't know how to introduce herself for a moment. She couldn't bring herself to say that she was Gu Sinan's friend. How could the young master of the Gu Group have such a humble friend like her?

So Ah Zhen was speechless, not knowing with what identity he came to the Gu family.

"Hello, Auntie, we are Gu Sinan's friends." Naturally, someone dared to say what Ah Zhen didn't dare to say, and that was Ah Zhen's daughter Rongrong.

Jiang Ranran saw the little girl's proud face, her powerful voice, her head held high, and she was completely unlike her mother who was timid. She immediately felt a liking for her.

"Hello, I'm so glad you're here. Welcome, welcome." Jiang Ranran said as he walked down the stairs, ready to have a good chat with them and show his hospitality.

But at this moment, Gu Sinan's words poured down Jiang Ranran like a basin of cold water.

"Mom, I told you that you don't need to show up tonight." There was even a hint of command in Gu Sinan's words.

Jiang Ranran was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't believe that these words came from Gu Sinan's mouth. Was her son even going to order her around now? Didn't he even have the most basic respect?

Jiang Ranran's expression turned somewhat ugly, and she stared at Gu Sinan with a gloomy face.

But Gu Sinan had no intention of retreating, and looked back at Jiang Ranran with extremely cold eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Ah Zhen hurried out to mediate, "Sinan, I think Mrs. Gu means well."

Gu Sinan's eyes turned cold, and he said in an almost heartless tone: "I don't need this kind of kindness."

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward and Jiang Ranran almost cried.

"I wish you have fun. I have prepared all the necessary meals. I hope you enjoy your meal and have fun. I'll leave you first." Jiang Ranran turned around and walked away with tears in her eyes.

The moment she turned around, Jiang Ranran's tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.

So how long will Gu Sinan continue to hate his family?

Looking at Jiang Ranran's departing back, Gu Sinan felt bad, but they really hurt him too deeply.

Thinking about his dismissal from Gu Group, Gu Sinan couldn't calm down. Did they know how much effort he had put in for Gu Group?

Why should he be allowed to leave just like that?

Thinking of this, Gu Sinan couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

"Sinan, you shouldn't make your mother angry like this." Ah Zhen seemed to understand Jiang Ranran very well, and said with some reluctance.

Gu Sinan didn't listen to the advice at all and interrupted Ah Zhen directly, "You don't understand what's going on between us."

After hearing what Gu Sinan said, Ah Zhen didn't know how to continue persuading him, so he just sighed slightly.

"Brother Sinan, you don't have to be so dejected. I understand you." Rongrong is a talkative person. At the critical moment, she gave Gu Sinan a heart-warming pill.

Gu Sinan forced a smile and told Rongrong and Ah Zhen: "Hurry up, you must be hungry after being here for such a long time. This time I will let you taste the cooking skills of the Gu family chef."
