Gu Sinan nodded. He could see that Xiao Yu really liked Qiao Jiabao.
Taking the small lunch box, Gu Sinan touched Xiao Yu's head and asked, "Are you worried that Qiao Jiabao won't have anything to eat when he goes out, so you prepared this for him?"
Xiaoyu nodded, and her serious look made her look very cute.
"Don't worry, Mom will protect Qiao Jiabao, and he will not leave the orphanage." Gu Sinan chuckled, his eyes confident and firm.
Xiao Yu blinked her big eyes and asked Gu Sinan expectantly, "Really, brother?"
"Of course, don't you still believe your brother?" Gu Sinan picked up Xiao Yu and kissed her gently on the cheek, making Xiao Yu giggle.
Xiao Yu nodded heavily, and his little head nodded back and forth, which was very cute.
"I trust my brother the most." Xiao Yu said softly and cutely, and her chubby little round face made Gu Sinan's heart melt.
Letting Xiao Yu go, Gu Sinan pretended to be serious and "confiscated" her lunch box. He couldn't help but think in his heart, although she is small, she is very thoughtful. She even knows to prepare food for Qiao Jiabao during his wandering?
Gu Sinan couldn't help but let out a smile.
——
Gu Group.
Gu Tingchen was busy at an international conference, but there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Gu Tingchen frowned, showing a hint of displeasure.
At this time, Mo Cheng came in quietly. Gu Tingchen knew that it must be something important, otherwise Mo Cheng would never disturb him.
"Let's hold the meeting another day. Let's take a break today." Gu Tingchen said to the camera and then closed the computer.
Seeing this, Mo Cheng dared to speak: "Mr. Gu, someone is looking for you."
After saying that, Mo Cheng slightly turned sideways to make room at the door, and a tall man walked in.
The face was extremely familiar, and there was a long-lost sense of intimacy.
"Meng Xianchen? Why are you here?" Gu Tingchen felt a little surprised, but did not show it too obviously.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Meng Xianchen has changed a lot. He looks very thin, but his eyes are still bright. He seems to have become low-key and no longer ostentatious. He is no longer the playboy he used to be.
Meng Xianchen curled his lips into a faint smile, with a gentle light flashing in his dark eyes.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" he said jokingly.
With that said, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Gu Tingchen smiled faintly, "Whether you are welcome or not, you are here. Can I chase you away?"
"I'm here anyway, how could Mr. Gu have the heart to kick me out? I'm sorry for disturbing your meeting." Meng Xianchen knew his limits. Gu Tingchen had done him a favor, and they appreciated each other, but they were not close enough to the point where they could make jokes.
Gu Tingchen shook his head and did not blame him.
"You came back this time because you have something to talk to me about?" Gu Tingchen had a vague feeling that Meng Xianchen would not come to him without a reason.
Meng Xianchen's originally smiling face suddenly became a little solemn. He nodded: "First, we want to reminisce about the past, and second, something did happen, and I need your cooperation."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Gu Tingchen frowned slightly.
"If it were just a reminiscing about the past, I wouldn't want to hear any bad news." Gu Tingchen realized the seriousness of the matter. Although he looked relaxed, his eyes had a hint of seriousness.
Meng Xianchen laughed bitterly when he heard this.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's indeed not good news." Meng Xianchen murmured.
Gu Tingchen sat down and prepared to listen to Meng Xianchen's detailed explanation.
Meng Xianchen sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes, "Do you still remember my father?"
Gu Tingchen frowned, as if he didn't understand what Meng Xianchen meant.
"Mr. Meng? Of course I remember." Gu Tingchen said truthfully.
Meng Xianchen nodded, took a deep breath, and began to describe his experiences in detail. "Since the last incident, since we returned to Country M, our strength has declined significantly, but at least we can hold on. My father is old, so he has completely handed over the family business to me."
"But after a year, I discovered a strange problem: no matter how well the Meng family's business performs, it is always suppressed by various parties for no reason."
"At first, I thought I had run into an enemy, so I started investigating in all directions, but I found nothing."
Meng Xianchen spoke slowly and in detail, until he stopped at this point.
"Then what? You just gave up like that?" Gu Tingchen raised his eyebrows, not understanding why he stopped talking.
Meng Xianchen pursed his lips tightly, his tone becoming a little trembling: "No, I haven't given up."
"Until recently, I discovered that there is a powerful hand behind the Meng family, controlling everything, making the Meng family always tepid and unable to regain its glory. And this person is very likely my father."
At this point, Meng Xianchen still looked incredulous.
Not only Meng Xianchen, but even Gu Tingchen couldn't understand why Mr. Meng would suppress the development of his own industry? Who doesn't want their family business to flourish? This is illogical.
"How could that be? He is the founder and there is no reason for him to do this." Gu Tingchen didn't understand and frowned slightly.
Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly and explained to Gu Tingchen: "At first I didn't believe it at all. I thought it was all my illusion. Until recently I found out that my father is not necessarily my father."
"What do you mean?" Gu Tingchen frowned even more tightly.
Meng Xianchen sighed and rubbed his temples, as if talking about this matter gave him a headache.
"His habits and characteristics have completely changed. He seems like a different person, a stranger I don't recognize." Meng Xianchen frowned deeply, his eyes became blank and empty, as if they were floating away.
"What do you mean?" Gu Tingchen didn't understand what Meng Xianchen meant.
Meng Xianchen then said, "For example, my father used to be a very gentle man, never losing his temper easily. He knew how to control his emotions. But recently I have noticed that he often loses his temper, whether it is with me or the servants."
"Maybe it's because I'm old." When Gu Tingchen said this, there was a hint of comfort in his tone.
Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, immediately denying Gu Tingchen's words, "Absolutely not, because he has changed in other ways too. His favorite foods have changed, his temperament has changed, his hobbies have changed, even the tone and speed of his voice have changed."
"Does he still remember what happened between you?" Gu Tingchen asked doubtfully.
The muscles on Meng Xianchen's face twitched violently, and then he told Gu Tingchen in a trembling voice: "That's the problem. He doesn't remember a lot of things. It doesn't add up. I tested him, and he didn't remember anything at all."
