She knew, however, that she truly couldn't say anything or do anything.

She still doesn't understand why Master Zhen sent her here, just to let her experience that feeling of helplessness again?

If it really was Hijiri, she would rather die with them.

But the feeling of being bound in her body told her that she could only watch from the sidelines and couldn't do anything to change it. This feeling was a despair she had never experienced before.

Seeing her dazed granddaughter, Chi Ting smiled and patted her head: "Rongbao, why are you so dazed? Did you not sleep well? Do you want to go inside and sleep some more?"

Hearing her grandmother's voice, Gu Rong suddenly realized that according to their original route, they were going to buy something.

But because of what she said, they are now in the Lin family's house. Does that mean that even if she can't directly change anything, she can still change everything through the words she speaks?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Rong's eyes lit up, and she blinked as she looked at Lin Xiao: "Grandpa, how about we go to Lingui for your birthday this time?"

"I think it's you who wants to go, isn't it?" Lin Yuan picked her up and tapped her little head: "Your grandfather's birthday has already been arranged, how can you change it so easily?"

If you want to go to Lingui, wait a few months until your birthday. That's when the scenery will be at its best. Don't worry about your grandfather's birthday.

Gu Rong's face turned red with anxiety. If things went according to plan, something bad would happen soon after her grandfather's birthday. Going to Lin Gui might change everything.

Even if we can't completely change things, at least... at least we can save a few lives.

Gu Rong stared blankly for a long time before finally managing to say, "Grandpa, I want to go to Lingui because there's a particularly efficacious temple there. I want to pray for you so that you can live a long and healthy life."

And every year on Grandpa's birthday, he invites so many strangers, it's so pointless. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, please promise me, I promise I'll be good and won't cause trouble.

Gu Rong looked pitifully at Lin Xiao and the others, but Lin Yuan still refused: "No."

Gu Rong is still young and doesn't understand the importance of maintaining a company. She simply believes that making money is enough, but maintaining it is also necessary.

The banquet was booked long ago; how can we cancel it over such a small matter? It will definitely affect the entire company.

Besides, you can go anytime to have fun. She goes to pray for blessings every year, so there's no need to go at this time.

Lin Xiao was deeply moved by her words, but at his age, there were some things he could no longer control.

He affectionately patted Gu Rong's head: "Rongbao is so filial, Grandpa appreciates it. However, your father had already made arrangements for this birthday and notified everyone. It wouldn't be right for us not to go."

If Rongbao wants to go, then we'll wait until after Grandpa's birthday and then take you. We'll go wherever you want then.

“But…” Gu Rong wanted to say a few more words, but Lin Yuan interrupted her: “Sweetie, don’t be silly. Come on, Mommy will take you to eat your favorite ice cream.”

Watching her grandparents gradually recede into the distance, Gu Rong tried to reach out and touch them, but couldn't reach them at all.

She watched as Lin Xiao and Chi Ting smiled and waved to her, getting further and further away from her.

Gu Rong was filled with anxiety and resentment, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Yuan placed Gu Rong on the sofa, turned around and went to the kitchen to take out a whole box of ice cream, and put the spoon in front of her.

He raised his hand to wipe away her tears: "Don't cry, you little crybaby. This is your favorite chocolate flavor. Eat it."

Looking at the whole box of ice cream in front of the stall, Gu Rong stared wide-eyed at Lin Yuan.

When she was little, she was greedy and ate too much sweets, which caused her teeth to hurt. She also didn't watch what she ate when it was cold, and often got an upset stomach. So Lin Yuan never let her eat too much.

Especially with ice cream, they only let her have a small scoop each time; they would never give her a whole box.

Gu Rong raised her hand and touched Lin Yuan's face, asking incredulously, "Who exactly are you?"

"Silly girl, who could I be? I'm your mother, and I'll always be your mother," Lin Yuan gently hugged Gu Rong, then let go of her and smiled as she tapped her head: "Be a good girl and eat here. Mommy will go check how the food is coming along."

"No..." Gu Rong reached out, trying to pull her away, but she couldn't say anything at the moment, and couldn't move her arms at all.

She tried to get up by supporting herself on her arms, but she found herself stuck to the sofa, feeling as if it weighed a ton.

After several attempts, Gu Rong accepted the fact that she could only sit there and could not move.

Looking at the ice cream in front of her, Gu Rong picked up a spoon, scooped out a large chunk, and stuffed it into her mouth. The coldness instantly made her dizzy.

But she didn't stop, and just kept eating, bite by bite.

The grandson looked at what Gu Rong was eating, raised his hand and tapped Master Zhen's arm: "Grandpa, when we go back, I want to eat this, can you buy it for me?"

Master Zhen raised his head and looked at Gu Rong in the scene in front of him, as well as the ice cream in her hand.

She looked at her grandson with some regret: "This? We don't have it where we are, but you can ask Gu Rong if she has it when she comes out."

The grandson stared at the screen, looking at Master Zhen with confusion: "How could she have that?"

Looking at his disappointing grandson, Master Zhen patted his head and said, "Didn't I say before that the things in the picture can be fabricated based on memory?"

But if you can truly feel what you've eaten, then it's real. Didn't you see how cold it was when she ate it?

"I don't have these things, and neither do you, so does that mean they came from her? Besides, she not only has a lot of these things, but whether you can get them from her depends on your skills."

The little grandson rubbed his head, then hugged Master Zhen's arm and said in a spoiled tone, "Grandpa, you helped her, so if you ask her for it, she'll definitely give it to you. Please ask her for it for me, I'm afraid she won't give it to me."

Master Zhen withdrew his arm: "Although I am helping her, have you forgotten what comes next? I'm too embarrassed to ask for it; you should ask for it yourself."

If you're capable, eat it; if not, don't. But if you do get yours, remember to order a lot; I'd like to try it myself.

"Hmph, how dare you ask me to go and ask for it, and even want to eat mine?" The little grandson angrily crossed his arms.

“You’ve been eating and drinking my food all this time, so what’s wrong with asking you to go and get some ice cream?” Master Zhen said, pinching his grandson’s ear.

The little grandson cried out in pain and begged for mercy, "Grandpa, stop pinching me, I'll go get it back, okay?"

Master Zhen then released his grip: "Then keep a close eye on both sides, and call me anytime if anything happens."

"Oh," the grandson said, rubbing his aching ear and staring at the two images in front of him.
