Jiang Ranran's face darkened. He had just been immersed in the joy of regaining what he had lost, but now he was overwhelmed by anger.

"You've been colluding to deceive me for a long time?" Jiang Ranran frowned, looking disappointed.

Seeing Jiang Ranran's mood visibly worsen, Gu Sinan hurriedly explained, "It's not like that, Mom. We're actually afraid that if you tell me, you'll..."

Jiang Ranran interrupted, "What are you afraid of me for? Are you afraid that I'll ruin your plan? Or are you afraid that my acting skills are bad?"

"Mom..." Gu Sinan regretted telling Jiang Ranran the truth for a moment.

"Don't say anything. You are so cruel. Can you bear to see me sad and upset all the time?" Jiang Ranran couldn't help but cry as she spoke.

Seeing Jiang Ranran crying, Gu Sinan hurriedly reached out to wipe Jiang Ranran's tears.

"Mom, don't cry, I really didn't mean it..." Gu Sinan said with great regret.

From the beginning to the end of this matter, Gu Sinan did not take Jiang Ranran's feelings into consideration, which was indeed inconsiderate.

Seeing Gu Sinan's tears in his eyes, Jiang Ranran finally softened her heart. She reached out and touched Gu Sinan's face, and she couldn't hate this son who was lost and found again.

"Mom doesn't blame you. This must have been your father's idea. I'm going to settle the score with him right now!" Jiang Ranran naturally blamed this matter on Gu Tingchen. Gu Sinan felt speechless for a moment.

So, Jiang Ranran is a double-standard mother?

"You just came back, you must not leave your mother again. Just wait, mom will cook for you now. Look, you have lost weight." Jiang Ranran looked at Gu Sinan with a face full of heartache.

Gu Sinan nodded happily, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, asked Jiang Ranran: "Mom, didn't you say you wanted to settle the score with Dad first?"

Jiang Ranran was stunned by the question, then waved her hand as if to risk it all: "I'll settle the score with him later. I have to take good care of my son first!"

Seeing Jiang Ranran's fickle look, Gu Sinan couldn't help laughing.

At the dinner table, Jiang Ranran sat with the children, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Jiang Ranran was about to take the initiative to break the deadlock, but unexpectedly Gu Sixi spoke first: "Brother, welcome home. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have been jealous of you."

Ever since Gu Sinan left, Gu Sixi often reflected on himself. The one who protected him the most was his elder brother. How could he be jealous of his elder brother's talent?

After the last incident, Gu Sixi has always felt very regretful, but she couldn't find a chance to apologize to Gu Sinan.

Gu Sinan smiled lightly and shook his head. "Big brother has never blamed you. No matter what you do wrong, big brother will always be your big brother."

This one sentence immediately brought tears to Gu Sixi and Gu Sibei's eyes.

Gu Sibei simply said nothing, stood up, walked to Gu Sinan, and hugged him tightly.

"Brother, please don't leave us again. The atmosphere at home has been so depressing that it's hard to breathe while you're away."

As Gu Sibei spoke, tears began to fall, causing Gu Sinan to feel a pang of sadness in his heart.

Gu Sinan nodded vigorously and assured Gu Sibei: "Okay, big brother promises you that I will never leave you again."

"Brother, I miss you too." Xiao Yu, who had never dared to speak, came up to him with tears in her eyes and buried her head in Gu Sinan's arms.

"And me, big brother." Qiao Jiabao also leaned sadly on Gu Sinan's shoulder.

In an instant, all the previous unpleasantness disappeared, and the brothers and sisters gathered together and became close again.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ranran felt indescribably moved.

At this moment, the servant outside came in and told Jiang Ranran, "Madam, the master is back."

Gu Tingchen actually came back? Jiang Ranran was worried that she would not have the chance to settle the score with him.

In an instant, the warmth just now vanished into thin air. The moment Jiang Ranran heard Gu Tingchen's name, her face turned cold.

The servants and children all felt this, and the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped several degrees. The children all returned to their seats tactfully, feeling vaguely that a world war was about to break out.

Soon, Gu Tingchen strode in.

As soon as he saw Gu Sinan sitting at the table eating, he knew that what the servant had just said was true. Gu Sinan couldn't help but confessed everything.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Ranran's expression, which further confirmed this point. It seemed that the storm was about to come.

Before Gu Tingchen could open his mouth, Jiang Ranran opened fire.

"The movie emperor is back?" Jiang Ranran asked sarcastically.

Gu Tingchen smiled awkwardly: "I still don't dare to be the best actor."

"Gu Tingchen! Stop smiling at me!" Jiang Ranran was really angry and shouted at Gu Tingchen.

This shout shocked everyone present and frightened them out of their wits.

Gu Tingchen knew that Jiang Ranran was really angry now, so he quickly comforted her, "Ranran, listen to my explanation..."

"Gu Tingchen, are you so cruel that you can't bear to see me sad because of the child? And you clearly know everything, but you deliberately don't tell me?"

Jiang Ranran complained.

At this time, Gu Tingchen saw Gu Sinan sitting there without saying a word, and he was immediately furious. The child has grown up, and it’s time to trick him.

"Jiang Ranran, don't be so hypocritical. Your son is also involved in this matter. Why do you only blame me and not him?" Gu Tingchen was trying to divert attention, hoping that Gu Sinan could help him share some of the burden.

Gu Sinan didn't expect that his father would be so deceiving, and immediately looked at Gu Tingchen with an incredible look.

Gu Tingchen made a face at Gu Sinan, and that expression clearly meant that Gu Sinan should admit defeat.

Gu Sinan shook his head speechlessly. This dad is really unreliable!

I originally thought Jiang Ranran would scold Gu Sinan as well, but I didn't expect Jiang Ranran to openly show his double standards: "My son was forced by you, Gu Tingchen, the main responsibility for this matter lies on you!"

"Ah?" Gu Tingchen was stunned.

When the children heard this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Gu Tingchen was in trouble now.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tingchen felt ashamed and said, "Don't laugh."

Under Gu Tingchen's authority, the children tried hard to hold back their laughter even if they wanted to.

"When you're full, go back to your room and go to sleep. Dad and I need to have a good talk." Jiang Ranran also realized that it was not a good idea to talk about this issue in front of the children, so he found a reason to send them all away.

The children then went to bed obediently.
