In the surveillance video, Xu Wenlou was squatting next to the little girl holding a candy.
"Little sister, do you want some candy?"
The little girl nodded innocently and agreed softly.
"I want to eat."
Xu Wenlou achieved his goal and immediately used both coaxing and deception.
"Then if you do me a favor, I'll give it to you, okay?"
The little girl hesitated for a few seconds while playing with the toy in her hand, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the candy and nodded repeatedly.
"Why don't you go find that sister and ask her to take you to your mother?"
What follows is the scene where the little girl is discovered by Shen Yuan while yelling for her mother.
In the picture, as soon as Shen Yuan left, someone tiptoed and quietly lured Quanquan away with food.
Mrs. Gu snorted coldly as she watched the surveillance video. "Huh? I was wondering how Quanquan could have gone missing for no reason after living in the Gu family for so many years. Turns out someone did it on purpose!"
After hearing what Old Lady Gu said, Xu Wenlou's face suddenly turned pale, and he pulled Gu Jisui to try to explain.
"No, Ah Sui, it's not like that. Let me explain."
Gu Jisui frowned and pushed her away impatiently.
"Xu Wenlou, you knew what the circle meant to me, but you deliberately led it away. Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Seeing that Gu Jisui was not understanding, she squeezed out a few tears and looked pitiful, as if she was the victim.
"A Sui, you and I grew up together. Don't you know me? You'd rather trust an outsider than me, right?"
They grew up together, but she forgot that there were surveillance cameras in every corner of the Gu family's house, not to mention the streets. How stupid she was.
"You mean Shen Yuan forged the surveillance?"
The Gu family's surveillance systems are all equipped with protection mechanisms. Even if Chen Yuan has great abilities, he can't interfere. Everyone knows this.
"I did ask the child to look for Chen Yuan, but I just wanted to play a trick on her. It's obvious that Quanquan got lost because she didn't take good care of him. Why are you blaming me?"
Xu Wenlou was sobbing, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Qin Mingyan felt even more distressed when she saw this.
"Mom, A Sui, Chen Yuan lost the ring, why are you yelling at Wen Lou? It's not Wen Lou's fault!"
Gu Jisui sneered, he really wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin.
"You don't need to argue for her. You'll know whose fault it is if you ask."
As soon as Gu Jisui finished speaking, the housekeeper came in from outside dragging a thin man.
Xu Wenlou's face turned pale with horror when he saw the man being dragged in.
Chen Yuan fell in love at first sight.
Isn’t this... the man who took away the circle in the surveillance video!
The man was kicked by the housekeeper and fell to his knees in front of Gu Jisui and Old Madam Gu, and he immediately kowtowed several times.
"Mr. Gu, please spare me. It was Miss Xu who ordered me to do this. I didn't know it was your beloved dog. Please spare me, Mr. Gu..."
Gu Jisui stared at the two of them coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Now Xu Wenlou was completely speechless, and even Qin Mingyan had nothing to say. She knew Gu Jisui's temper very well, and she thought that if they continued to make trouble, it would only make things more embarrassing for both of them.
Gu Jisui frowned slightly, his tone filled with a hint of impatience, "Nothing to say? You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"
Xu Wenlou clutched the corner of her clothes tightly. She naturally knew what Gu Jisui was hinting at.
Her face flushed red, she was angry and embarrassed, and she resisted the urge to tear Shen Yuan into pieces. She whispered, "I'm sorry..."
"Xu Wenlou, some things can't be solved with just a simple "I'm sorry." I have no grudges against you, so why do you always pick on me?"
She didn't dare to think about it. If there was no surveillance today and Gu Jisui didn't find the circle, wouldn't she become a sinner?
Hearing this, Xu Wenlou glared at him, "Chen Yuan, I've already apologized, what else do you want!"
"What do you think she wants? She doesn't even look like she's apologizing. She bullies Shen Yuan because no one supports her. Does she think I, an old woman, am dead?"
Old Madam Gu really couldn't stand Xu Wenlou's arrogance and domineering behavior, and she couldn't stand her taking advantage of Qin Mingyan's doting to bully Chen Yuan unscrupulously.
"Mom, why are you all speaking in favor of Chen Yuan? She's just an outsider. Why should you ruin the relationship with your family because of her?"
"I can't even tell who's an outsider and who's family? Do I need you to teach me?"
Old lady Gu's words left Qin Mingyan speechless, and Old lady Gu grabbed Chen Yuan's hand.
"Child, what do you want to do with Xu Wenlou? Grandma will make the decision for you today."
Chen Yuan had never felt before that having someone's support was something worth being happy about.
"The weather outside is nice today, so let Miss Xu kneel outside for an hour. She can get some sunshine."
Xu Wenlou's face turned green when he heard this.
It's such a hot sun outside. If she were asked to kneel outside for an hour, wouldn't she be as black as coal?
"Chen Yuan, don't go too far. It's so hot outside. Will you be responsible if he gets heatstroke?"
"The Gu family has plenty of private doctors. Just kneel down. If you get a heat stroke, I, an old woman, will be responsible!"
Since Chen Yuan was protected by Old Madam Gu, Xu Wenlou didn't dare to say anything more. He could only suppress his anger and do what she said.
Xu Wenlou was about to walk out with a sullen face, but was stopped by Gu Jisui.
"Wait, apologize first and then kneel down."
Xu Wenlou was so angry that his back teeth were broken, but he had no choice but to do as he was told.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have framed you, and I shouldn't have let Quanquan get lost."
Chen Yuan just looked at her quietly, but Quan Quan was barking loudly, as if he did not accept her apology. If Gu Ji Sui had not held him back, he would have pounced on her and bit her.
In the evening, the nanny prepared a large table of dishes, and the family gathered around talking and laughing, except Xu Wenlou, who had a gloomy face the whole time.
After being in the sun for an hour, I almost got heatstroke and became darker all over. It's no wonder that I was in a bad mood.
"Come, Shen Yuan, try this. Auntie misunderstood you today. Auntie is not good at speaking, so don't take it to heart."
Qin Mingyan's actions made Shen Yuan stunned for a moment.
But soon, she pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, Auntie. I know you woke me up before dawn and asked me to clean the house and wash the dishes because you hoped I could take good care of Ah Sui in the future. I won't blame you."
After Chen Yuan's irrelevant words, Qin Mingyan's face immediately darkened, but because of the presence of Old Lady Gu, she pulled the corner of her mouth again.
She glanced at Chen Yuan with a dagger hidden in her smile. If the old lady hadn't been there, she wouldn't have said anything to please her.
This bitch is so good, she is taking advantage of me!
"Yuanyuan, grandma came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. I'll give you this jade ring as a gift."
When the old lady took the jade ring from her hand, except for Chen Yuan who looked ignorant, everyone else was slightly shocked, but they did not dare to say anything.
Chen Yuan subconsciously glanced at Gu Jisui, only to see that he remained silent.
"Grandma, I can't accept this..."
