Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Xiao Yu came running over and personally picked up some food for Qiao Jiabao.
She stretched out her little hand, somewhat unsteadily reaching for the dish that she found difficult to reach, and then placed it in Qiao Jiabao's bowl herself, looking at him with a smile: "Brother Jiabao, please eat the food."
Qiao Jiabao was so moved that tears almost came out. He nodded, his eyes full of tenderness.
When Dabao Gu Sinan saw this, he knew that Xiaoyu had noticed Qiao Jiabao's restraint, so he put down his chopsticks, walked over and picked up Xiaoyu, and put her on her own little chair.
Turning around, he reminded Qiao Jiabao with a serious but tender expression: "Since you are here, make the best of it. Don't be polite."
Qiao Jiabao understood what he meant and reached out to pick up the food, breaking his previous restraint.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranran smiled gently and said to the second treasure Gu Sixi and the third treasure Gu Sibei: "You two should stop watching. From now on, Jiabao is your friend. You are not allowed to be hostile to him anymore."
"I don't want to be friends with him." Sanbao Gu Sibei muttered softly.
Erbao Gu Sixi glanced at Jiang Ranran, then looked at Gu Sibei, lowered his head, and it seemed that he had the same idea as Gu Sibei.
Jiang Ranran sighed helplessly, took out his cell phone, flipped through a few photos, and handed them to Gu Sixi and Gu Sibei.
"Take a look."
In the photo, Qiao Jiabao is washing, dressing, and even feeding the children, acting like a well-behaved little parent.
It even makes people feel a little distressed to see such a young child taking care of other children.
After seeing it clearly, Gu Sibei looked at Qiao Jiabao in disbelief. She just couldn't connect the little bully in school with this caring little brother.
"Is this him?" Gu Sixi had the same question.
Jiang Ranran nodded firmly. "This was secretly filmed by your Aunt Xiao Cui. He is no longer the Qiao Jiabao you knew back then. This is the Qiao Jiabao who has grown up and become sensible. Why can't you accept a child like this?"
Gu Sixi and Gu Sibei were speechless.
Seeing the atmosphere become cold again, Qiao Jiabao pursed his lips nervously and said with some self-blame, "Auntie, if it were me... I can leave."
Everyone understood what Qiao Jiabao meant. If everyone hated him, he could leave immediately.
But he couldn't say the word "hate" because he was afraid that he would cry if he said it.
Jiang Ranran walked over and hugged Qiao Jiabao tightly, "Don't go, no one will chase you away." Jiang Ranran thought of the scene when Qiao Jiabao came to the orphanage recently. He was covered in wounds. It must have been Cen Juan who did it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranran couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
It was the first time that Qiao Jiabao felt such a warm hug. His nose felt sore and an uncontrollable emotion burst out. Tears fell uncontrollably and he hugged Jiang Ranran tightly without letting go.
When Qiao Jiabao cried, everyone was moved.
"Don't cry." Gu Sixi handed over a piece of paper to wipe Qiao Jiabao's tears.
Gu Sibei also started sobbing softly. Qiao Jiabao was actually quite pitiful. They shouldn't be so hostile to him.
"Wow, Brother Jiabao, please don't cry." When Xiao Yu saw Qiao Jiabao crying, she felt like her tears were contagious, so she started crying too. The more she cried, the sadder she became, and she couldn't control herself in the end.
Jiang Ranran gently wiped away Qiao Jiabao's tears and patted his shoulder. "It's okay. This will be your home from now on."
"Yes, this is your home too." Gu Sixi and Gu Sibei said in unison.
Qiao Jiabao looked at them in disbelief, but after receiving their affirmative looks, his eyes became wet with gratitude again.
"See, I told you, everyone will accept you." Jiang Ranran touched Qiao Jiabao's head, with tenderness in her eyes.
Qiao Jiabao nodded, feeling a warmth and ease he had never felt before.
——
In the suburban villa, Cen Juan also received reports from her subordinates.
"Boss, the young master hasn't come out since he went in." The report from his subordinates made Cen Juan's heart tighten.
Did something happen to Qiao Jiabao at the Gu family?
The Gu family wanted to harm him?
Many questions arose in Cen Juan's mind, making her feel uneasy.
"Do you want to go and get the person now?" the subordinate asked nervously.
Cen Juan thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Now is not the time. We are fighting with the Gu Group. If I go to ask for someone now, Gu Tingchen will definitely think of me first."
"What should we do then?" The subordinate's tone sounded a little anxious.
Cen Juan was also very worried, but she forced herself to comfort herself: "It doesn't matter, the Gu family will definitely not dare to do anything to him."
Compared to her son, she is more concerned about her own interests.
Everything she has now was earned with her life, and she must not give up easily!
So, Cen Juan's people kept waiting near the Gu family, monitoring the situation at any time. Until Qiao Jiabao came out of the Gu family in the afternoon, he still had to go back to his orphanage, which was his favorite place.
When they saw Qiao Jiabao coming out, Cen Juan's people immediately reported to her.
Only at this moment did Cen Juan realize that her son had returned to the orphanage after running away from home.
Does he like the orphanage more than home?
Cen Juan couldn't help but feel puzzled, and then she sent someone to stop Qiao Jiabao halfway.
As Qiao Jiabao was walking, suddenly two adults in black suits blocked his way, and they blocked him tightly. Qiao Jiabao looked up and tried to avoid them, but they blocked his way again.
Qiao Jiabao immediately understood that this group of people were coming for him.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Qiao Jiabao pretended to be fearless and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Young master, our boss wants you to come over." The person blocking the way answered with a stiff and serious expression.
Qiao Jiabao was stunned. They called him Young Master. Could they be from the Qiao family?
"No, I won't go!" Qiao Jiabao had a grudge and didn't trust this group of people, so he wouldn't go with them rashly. For him now, the orphanage was the best place!
Qiao Jiabao turned around and ran away. The two men in black had no choice but to chase him.
Qiao Jiabao ran very fast, but his legs were not as long as an adult's, so he was soon caught by the two of them.
"Young master, don't run!" Although the two men caught him, their tone was still polite.
Just when Qiao Jiabao was extremely frightened and struggling desperately, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of him. It was Cen Juan, who appeared with delicate makeup and very decent clothes.
"Are you okay, my dear son?" Cen Juan said with a smile.
