Meanwhile, Gu Rong and Han Jianshu quickly reached the shore.

He then went straight back to the guesthouse and knocked on Xiaohe's door.

Xiaohe rubbed her sore eyes and looked at the two little ones at the door: "There are no tickets for tonight, so you can't leave even if you don't sleep."

"Oh," Gu Rong said, turning around and going back to her room when she heard that she couldn't leave. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The very next morning, Gu Rong was woken up by Han Jianshu.

Gu Rong rubbed her eyes: "Have we set off yet? Wait for me a moment."

"Okay, no rush, take your time packing," Han Jianshu said, sitting obediently on the stool and waiting.

When Gu Rong said she was going to tidy up, there wasn't much to tidy up. She just roughly packed her things into a bag and quickly finished packing.

After packing up, Gu Rong thought she was going straight to the train station, but she ended up going to a state-run restaurant instead.

Watching Han Jianshu eat, Gu Rong didn't say anything, obediently ate her fill, and followed the two to the train station.

After getting off at the train station, Han Jianshu took Gu Rong back to the Gu family home first.

Seeing Gu Rong about to get off the bus, Han Jianshu grabbed her arm and said, "Tell your friend to hurry up, don't take too long."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Rong understood what he meant and nodded, "I understand, go back now."

Gu Rong got out of the car and walked into the alley.

Looking at the tightly locked door, Gu Rong simply took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

After returning home, I went straight to bed and fell asleep.

When Rong Xin returned, she knew Gu Rong was back as soon as she saw the locked door.

Rongxin pounded on the door and called out through the crack, "Rongbao, is Rongbao home? Wake up, Mommy's back."

Gu Rong sat up in bed groggily, rubbed her eyes, and dragged her feet to open the door.

Seeing Rong Xin outside the door, Gu Rong hugged her tightly: "Mom, I'm back. Did you miss me?" Gu Rong said, yawning.

Rongxin looked at her daughter's tired face and patted her head tenderly.

Then he carried the person into the room and asked softly, "You must be exhausted from this trip, right? How are your grandparents? Are they alright?"

"Everything's fine. The breakup was reported in the newspaper?" Gu Rong yawned, not saying anything more to avoid being overheard.

Upon hearing this, Rong Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, it's good that nothing happened. The notice to sever ties with the family has already been published in the newspaper today, so don't worry about it."

I think you're still too tired. Go inside and sleep for a while. I'll wake you up after I finish cooking.

"Okay," Gu Rong replied, and went straight back to her room to sleep.

After dinner, Gu Qiang grabbed Gu Rong's hand and asked, "Rongbao, tell Daddy, where did you go with Grandpa and the others? Are they safe?"

If one didn't know his thoughts and character, judging solely from the worry on Gu Qiang's face, one would truly believe that he was sincere.

"Hmm~~", Gu Rong propped her head up, pretending to be conflicted as she observed the faces of Gu Qiang and Rong Xin.

Gu Qiang looked expectant, while Rong Xin looked worried, but because Gu Qiang was there, she didn't dare to say anything directly.

Gu Rong held Rong Xin's hand, looking at Gu Qiang with a wronged expression: "I don't know where they went. I took a nap and they disappeared."

I went to look for them with Jian Shu and Xiao He, but we couldn't find them. Later, Xiao He brought us back. Mom, what happened to Grandpa and the others?

Hearing what Gu Rong said, Rong Xin felt a little relieved.

With a feigned sadness on her face, she hugged Gu Rong and looked at Gu Qiang: "Xiao Qiang, from now on I can only rely on you. My parents don't want us anymore."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Gu Qiang didn't press the matter further and could only comfort him, saying, "It's okay. If they don't want us, we'll make our own way. I'll take care of you from now on and I'll never let you suffer."

"But your dad passed away so suddenly, and we haven't talked about him since. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."

Then Gu Qiang grabbed Gu Rong's arm and asked in a low voice, "Rongbao, did your grandfather say anything to you before he passed away? Did he leave anything behind?"

Gu Rong pretended to think for a moment, then obediently shook her head: "No, nothing at all, I just can't see them anymore, I really don't know, I really don't know anything."

Seeing Gu Rong's expression, Rong Xin immediately hugged her and stared at Gu Qiang: "Stop talking, the child is still young, what can he know?"

Rong Bao already liked them, and they left so suddenly. Rong Bao was already heartbroken, and you're still asking so many questions. It's like stabbing her in the heart. Don't ask anymore, I'll take her inside to rest."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked these questions. You take Rongbao inside to rest first," he said, but in his heart he was plotting. Gu Qiang felt that Gu Rong knew something and he had to find an opportunity to get her to say something more.

Rong Xin carried Gu Rong back to the room and looked at her with a smile: "Rongbao is so great. In the future, if your dad asks you these questions, just pretend you don't know, understand?"

Gu Qiang tilted his head and smiled at Rong Xin: "Mom, what are you talking about? I really don't know anything." After saying that, he blinked and tilted his head to stare at Rong Xin.

"Great job, just like that," Rong Xin patted Gu Rong's head and praised her with a smile.

However, she herself was also a little curious about what her father had said before, that there were some things that Gu Rong possessed.

Rong Xin leaned closer to Gu Rong and asked cautiously, "Your grandfather said before that the places where he hides things are all here. Do you know where those things are?"

Gu Rong had no idea why Rong Xin had suddenly asked this question.

After staring at Rong Xin's face for a while, Gu Rong said, "I don't know, I don't know anything. Mom, please don't ask anymore. Knowing too much isn't good for you."

Seeing her expression, Rongxin smiled and said, "Okay, Mom won't ask anymore. From now on, Mom will pretend she doesn't know anything about this and will never ask again."

Gu Rong looked at Rong Xin and felt that she wasn't very reliable.

So she could only think of Gu Xing, the little one, and tilted her head to stare at Rong Xin obediently, saying, "Then Mommy, go out quickly, I want to play with my brother, can you help me find my brother to come over?"

"Okay, Mom will go find Xiaoxing now," Rongxin said, and got up to go find Gu Xing.

A moment later, Gu Xing was led into the room by Rong Xin: "Rong Bao, Mom has brought your brother over for you."

Seeing Gu Rong whom she hadn't seen for several days, Gu Rong excitedly stepped forward: "Little sister, you're finally back! I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

"I miss you so much, brother. Come in quickly, I have something to tell you," Gu Rong pulled Gu Xing to his side.

Then she looked at Rongxin at the door and said, "Mom, I have something to tell my brother. It's a little secret between us, so you can't listen."
