Even though Du Yi loved her daughter dearly, when she heard about these things, she was more angry than surprised.

She never imagined that the child she had raised with such care would have such a wicked heart.

Although she was sometimes sharp-tongued and didn't get along with Old Mrs. Gu, she never thought of harming anyone.

Gu Nianqiang's actions at the time were truly astonishing to her.

Gu Nianqiang grabbed her hand and confessed, "Mom, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, and I didn't want it to be like this."

"So, the kidnapping of them was also your idea?" Du Yi was finding herself increasingly unfamiliar with the person in front of her.

Gu Nianqiang shook her head and explained sincerely, "No, Mei Yin and I initially agreed that she would take Grandma and Dad out, and then pretend that we couldn't contact them. I don't know why she suddenly changed her mind."

Du Yi looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, trying to see if she was lying again.

Gu Nianqiang continued, "As you can see, I have never contacted her since the incident. I really don't know what happened afterward."

Du Yi said unhappily, "But you still called the police, it's all just for show."

"I wasn't just putting on an act. I sensed something was wrong and was afraid something might happen to my dad and the others, so I called the police. I don't know exactly what happened."

Gu Nianqiang spoke sincerely, tears streaming down her face. Those unaware of the situation might have thought someone was trying to hurt her.

Du Yi sighed, "The matter is very complicated, but I will try my best to put in a good word for you."

After all, she was the one who raised her, and Du Yi still wanted to give her a chance.

Gu Nianqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had won someone over to her side, and now she could cling to her coattails.

On the other side, Grandma Gu picked up her phone and personally called Jiang Yilai. She couldn't wait to see her granddaughter.

But thinking about everything that had happened before, I felt guilty towards her, so I wanted to solve the problems at hand first.

Jiang Yilai was startled when she saw the phone call and involuntarily began to feel nervous.

She was very comfortable before she didn't know the other person was her grandmother, but now it suddenly feels like something is blocking her way.

Although reuniting with loved ones should be a joyous occasion, both of them felt a strange mix of emotions.

Jiang Yilai answered the phone and heard the other person sobbing.

Jiang Yilai broke the silence first, asking, "Grandma, are you alright?"

Grandma Gu tried to call her name, but couldn't utter a sound.

Jiang Yilai sensed her emotions and said, "It's good that you're alright. I'll visit you again after you've dealt with things over there."

Grandma Gu was deeply moved and choked up as she said, "Good child, you've really worked hard all these years."

On the way back, Grandma Gu learned a lot about Jiang Yilai from Gu Ming'en. She learned that Jiang Yilai had a difficult journey and had almost lost her life several times. She felt so sorry for her that she cried all the way back.

What pained the old lady the most was that she had been misled and slapped her, and said those hurtful things.

Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable, Maine and her associates.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Sensing that Grandma Gu was feeling down, Jiang Yilai blurted out, "And also... you said you'd bring me a gift from your trip, is it ready yet!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Grandma Gu said, "I'm sorry, it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time."
