Gu Jiangli sat by the lake feeding the fish, and showed no surprise even after listening to Jiang Huaizhi's words.

Jiang Huaizhi was now absolutely certain that she had anticipated this all along.

"Jiang Li, you're not at all surprised by Nan Yu's unusual behavior with Mother. You already knew, didn't you?"

Gu Jiangli shrugged. "Yes, I've said it before, Nan Yu isn't an ordinary child, so there's no need to worry about this."

"But how did you know? Nanyu can't even speak yet, and you already realized he hates his mother?"

"Because Nan Yu is very smart. He was very 'mature' when he was born. His calm demeanor was not like that of a baby at all. He has a pure mind and can sense who is genuinely good to him and who is just pretending to take advantage of him."

"The old lady never sincerely wanted to take care of Nanyu, and Nanyu would naturally sense that."

"However... his reaction was indeed a bit stronger than I expected."

"I originally thought it would take him at least half a year to get rid of the old lady, but I didn't expect that a month would be the limit."

Jiang Huaizhi looked stunned, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

As a father, he doesn't understand his son as well as Jiang Li does, which is truly embarrassing.

Gu Jiangli looked up and met his slightly sad eyes, immediately changing her expression to a smile:

"Alright, Huaizhi, everything is going according to plan. Don't overthink it. Just wait for the old lady to bring Nanyu back."

Jiang Huai sighed and said, "Jiang Li, your plans are flawless, which makes me seem useless."

Gu Jiangli smiled and said, "How could you be useless? You are very useful."

"Really?" Jiang Huai asked jokingly.

Gu Jiangli didn't say much. He looked up at the sky and realized that the sweltering heat was indeed making people restless.

"Huaizhi, isn't today June 19th?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there anything special?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that demons are usually born in the height of summer. Huaizhi, you'll soon be playing a very important role."
