Chapter 174 I'm Sorry, I Misunderstood You
Gu Yuehuai handed Yan Shaotang to Gu Xihuai, looked at his vigilant eyes, and said nothing.
She turned to look at Yan Shaoyu: "Yan Zhiqing, let's go out and talk about what we have to say. Shaotang is a little scared."
Yan Shaoyu's face was covered with dark clouds. He glanced at Yan Shaotang who was held in Gu Xihuai's arms with a dark look in his eyes. He took a step forward and was the first to lift the curtain and leave the house. Gu Yuehuai followed behind him and reminded him as he went out: "Third brother, clean up the chicken."
Gu Xihuai looked at Gu Yuehuai with complicated eyes. It’s already this late, and he still has the mind to play PUBG?
Yan Shaotang hugged Gu Xihuai's neck and called out slowly, "Sister."
Her gurgling voice brought Gu Xihuai back to his senses. He lowered his eyes to look at the pretty girl, thinking about his own guess, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant and smile bitterly in his heart. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Yan Shaoyu stood in the yard, his long brows tightly furrowed, and there was a tiny light in his peach blossom eyes.
His emotions were very complicated at the moment, but there was no doubt that finding Yan Shaotang and seeing that she was no longer stupid was a pleasant surprise to him. But why did it have to be Gu Yuehuai? Was her different treatment of him premeditated?
When Gu Yuehuai came out, he saw Yan Shaoyu's uncertain expression. He sighed in his heart, knowing that this guy was going through a brainstorm and could no longer maintain his desperate calm.
Gu Yuehuai approached Yan Shaoyu, gave him a questioning look, and asked, "Yan Zhiqing, do you know Shaotang?"
Without waiting for Yan Shaoyu to answer, she suddenly frowned and said to herself: "Shaoyu, Shaotang, even your names are very similar, and you even look..." She paused, and her expression suddenly changed: "Are you her relative?"
Gu Yuehuai looked at Yan Shaoyu with a "shocked" expression. She had put on a complete show, but she couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart at having to resort to such tricks in front of Yan Shaoyu. She just hoped that this matter would go smoothly and allow her relationship with Yan Shaoyu to be further developed.
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Yuehuai, and asked word by word: "Why do you know her name is Shaotang?"
Gu Yuehuai rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously: "Of course Shaotang said that himself."
"Did you say that yourself?" Yan Shaoyu approached Gu Yuehuai, his ebony eyes fixed on her, not missing any of her expressions. His tone was tender, as if it came from the tip of his tongue, but there was hostility between his brows.
Suddenly, his voice was as cold as ice and snow, with a strong murderous aura: "It was you, you took Shaotang away from the capital?"
He was sure that Yan Shaotang was abducted by human traffickers. After all, she was born mentally retarded and was afraid of strangers. How could she leave the capital quietly? But, could Gu Yuehuai be a human trafficker?
Yan Shaoyu thought of Yan Shaotang's heavy body when she was holding him just now, as well as her brand new jacket and cotton shoes, and fell silent.
Gu Yuehuai knew he would be suspicious, so when he heard this, he pretended to be angry: "Who do you think I am? A kidnapper? Yan Shaoyu, you have to provide evidence when you speak. I have never been to the capital in my life, how could I kidnap Shaotang?!"
"I'm telling you, I met Shao Tang in Zhoulan City! Don't be suspicious of me with your little thoughts!"
Gu Yuehuai's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he took the opportunity to tell him about his encounter with the human traffickers in Zhoulan City, detailing every detail.
She glared at Yan Shaoyu unhappily, with a look of thunder and lightning: "This is the whole story. I was commended by the Zhoulan City Police for my bravery, but how come I became a kidnapper in your mouth?"
Yan Shaoyu met Gu Yuehuai's angry and attractive eyes, his face pale.
He thought of countless possibilities, but the only thing he never thought of was that it was Gu Yuehuai who saved Shaotang. Her inexplicable approach was really suspicious. He had experienced a lot of bloody storms in the capital during this period, so it was inevitable that he would be wary of everything.
But when did Shaotang recover? Why did she remember her own name?
Yan Shaoyu's thin lips moved, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. However, I want to know why the Zhoulan City police didn't detain the person, but instead handed him over to you and asked you to bring him back?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai's tone paused slightly, and his eyes flickered slightly when he thought of the original statement.
She didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Yan Shaoyu could still ask the key point.
"What's so strange about this? When we first met Shao Tang, he was in a daze, as if he had some mental problems and couldn't respond normally. The police couldn't get any useful information from him, and they couldn't take care of the child."
"I personally rescued Shaotang from the kidnapper, so I naturally don't want her to continue to be displaced."
"I said I would take good care of Shaotang. The Zhoulan City police also came to inspect once and they have great trust in me."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Yan Shaoyu, his words were concise and to the point, he was calm and composed, not panicked at all.
Yan Shaoyu frowned slightly, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Gu Yuehuai, and said seriously: "One last question, I want to know, how did Shaotang get better? She...her..."
His throat rolled and his voice was hoarse: "Shaotang was born with a serious mental illness. Not only can she not take care of herself, she can't even speak. But her symptoms have improved? She even started to speak. Why?"
Yan Shaoyu looked at Gu Yuehuai, his fingertips wrapped in gauze trembling slightly, revealing a bit of complexity.
They consulted many doctors for Yan Shaotang's illness, but unfortunately, they all said that it was a disease he had in his mother's womb and could not be cured. However, they did not expect that he would get better after being abducted. Is this what they call a blessing in disguise?
Gu Yuehuai's brows relaxed, he tilted his head, and asked in confusion: "You asked me so many questions, but I haven't asked you yet. Yan Zhiqing, what is your relationship with Shaotang?"
Hearing this, Yan Shaoyu looked at Gu Yuehuai steadily, his expression somewhat serious: "Brother and sister, I am her eldest brother."
Gu Yuehuai folded his arms and looked at Yan Shaoyu up and down with a suspicious look: "How do you prove it? Although you two look a bit alike, you can't make me believe that you are Shaotang's elder brother based on a few words, right?"
Yan Shaoyu's eyes were pure black as he looked at Gu Yuehuai. After a moment of silence, he took out a photo from the inner layer of his jacket.
Gu Yuehuai paused and took the familiar photo.
The photo showed a happy family of six, all with familiar features. In his previous life, Yan Shaoyu would always stroke this photo until the edges became frayed, and then he would put the photo back into the book with a look of disappointment.
Gu Yuehuai's red lips moved slightly, but she said nothing and returned the photo to Yan Shaoyu.
Yan Shaoyu put the photo away and looked at Gu Yuehuai: "Now, can you tell me why Shaotang's stupidity was cured?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai tucked the hair on the side of his cheek behind his ear and moved his eyebrows innocently: "I don't know, who can say for sure about such a stupid disease? Maybe the Dalaozi Production Brigade is a good place for feng shui, and the disease was cured when Shaotang came?"
