"Has your brother visited Xingyue Tower recently?" Qiu Yan asked, her eyes constantly watching Song Jiao's every move.
Song Jiao shook her head, her expression unchanged: "He said he had to go discuss a business deal. Miss, why do you ask him?"
Song Jiao knew that Qiu Yan had never liked her brother.
"Isn't your brother a pharmaceutical merchant? Of course, he's here to do business."
Looking at Song Jiao's innocent eyes, Qiu Yan pulled Gu Xiaoran away.
On the way, Qiu Yan looked at her right hand, which was being held tightly by Gu Xiaoran.
"Xiao Ran, how about Aunt Zhu keeps you company?"
She really has too many things to deal with.
Behind them, Zhu Juan caught up with the two, and just as she said, "Young Master..."
Gu Xiaoran firmly interrupted her, "No!"
Gu Xiaoran gripped it even tighter.
Qiu Yan sighed, "Xiao Ran, I promise, I'll tell you where I'm going next time, okay? Please let go of me."
Because of Gu Xiaoran, she now has absolutely no freedom.
"No!" Gu Xiaoran's firm words left no room for change.
"Alright, let's go home." Qiu Yan had no choice but to let him lead her the whole way.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw two men pacing back and forth at the entrance, and she instantly tensed up.
Because those two men were He Lin and his personal bodyguard, Zhan Yue.
Zhu Juan was curious and was about to go up and ask when Qiu Yan stopped her with a look.
Gu Xiaoran's face was filled with anger. "Mother..." Before she could finish the word, Qiu Yan covered her mouth and nose.
Qiu Yan hugged Gu Xiaoran and turned to walk into a nearby alley.
Inside the alley, Gu Xiaoran continued, "Mother, Lightning is still in the yard. They will hurt Lightning."
“This time it won’t happen. Xiao Ran, I’ll take you back to the village. Your master misses you.” Qiu Yan felt that it would be safer for Gu Xiao Ran to stay with Uncle Li.
"No!" Gu Xiaoran shook her head firmly. "I don't want to follow my grandmaster. I want to follow my mother."
Gu Xiaoran pouted her little mouth high, and her angry little eyes left Qiu Yan completely helpless.
This kid has a lot of ideas.
If Gu Xiaoran were to be forced to send the child back to the village, she would feel increasingly insecure.
"Let's go to the Ding residence and see the little sister."
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoran jumped up and down happily, waving her arms and legs.
Ding Mansion
The servants in the mansion all already knew Qiu Yan.
When Madam Ding heard the servant's report, she greeted him with a smile.
"Xiaoyan, it's been so long since I've seen you. You're finally back."
Qiu Yan greeted him with small talk:
"Madam Ding, how has business been these days?"
"It's all good overall. Ever since my brother expanded his business to Huaiyuan last year, he's handed over all five of his shops to me to manage. I've only just started to relax a bit, and here you are."
Mrs. Ding was tired but happy.
After saying that, she stepped forward and patted Gu Xiaoran's head. "Xiaoran, your mother isn't here, so why don't you come to see your little sister?"
Gu Xiaoran dodged Madam Ding's outstretched hand.
The older he gets, the less he likes people touching his head.
Of course, mothers are an exception.
"Is Sweetie still crying and fussing all day long, just like before?"
"Much better." Madam Ding waved her hand and instructed a maid to bring the child.
Little Dingtian has grown up quite a bit and is much stronger than before.
When Gu Xiaoran saw Xiao Dingtian, she wiped her face as before. "Mommy, look, Tiantian's face is much cleaner now."
Qiu Yan looked at it and nodded with a smile.
The birthmark on Xiao Dingtian's face has indeed faded considerably.
Mrs. Ding has been in a great mood lately, and that's also because of this matter.
"Xiaoyan, you were right back then, the birthmark on Tiantian's face really can be faded."
