At this time, only Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen were left in the living room.
Gu Tingchen didn't dare to look at Jiang Ranran. This matter was indeed his fault and he shouldn't have hidden it from Jiang Ranran.
"If Sinan doesn't tell me, you don't plan to tell me either?" Jiang Ranran stared at Gu Tingchen with suspicion and disappointment.
"Yes, I plan to keep it a secret from you." Gu Tingchen told the truth.
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ranran's face showed a deep disappointment and sarcasm, "Gu Tingchen, do you really not trust me?"
"Is there really no trust between us at all?" Jiang Ranran asked with a frown.
Seeing Jiang Ranran so sad, Gu Tingchen felt very uncomfortable and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I was indeed wrong in this matter. I apologize to you. I didn't consider your feelings." Gu Tingchen felt deeply guilty at this time. He knew that he really hurt Jiang Ranran's heart.
Jiang Ranran turned her head away and refused to accept Gu Tingchen's apology.
"You disappoint me so much. We have been married for so many years, and you had the heart to hide it from me for so long." Jiang Ranran wiped her tears, feeling very heartbroken.
Gu Tingchen walked forward and wanted to hug Jiang Ranran to comfort her, but Jiang Ranran dodged quickly.
This intense and swift action immediately hurt Gu Tingchen's heart.
"Forgive me, Ranran. I just wanted to make the plan go perfectly. I was afraid that you couldn't help but go to see Sinan." Gu Tingchen knew that he was cruel, but he had to do it for the Gu Group.
Jiang Ranran didn't even look at Gu Tingchen, and directly left Gu Tingchen alone in the living room, and said coldly: "I will not forgive you for what happened today, don't try to persuade me, I don't want to see you."
Looking at Jiang Ranran's back, a hint of sadness flashed across Gu Tingchen's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Tingchen rushed to Gu Sinan's room, ready to settle the score with this brat.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Tingchen hugged Gu Sinan tightly, then touched his head and asked, "How are you? Have you been suffering recently?"
When he thought about the fact that Gu Sinan had been wandering around recently and might not have had a decent meal, Gu Tingchen immediately felt sorry for Gu Sinan and couldn't remember to blame him.
Gu Sinan's face darkened, and he looked at Gu Tingchen with a dark expression, "Dad, it's okay for Mom to be so clingy, but why is she like this to you too?"
Gu Tingchen was startled when he heard this and gently pushed Gu Sinan away. "The love that parents have for their children is the same. It's just that I usually tolerate it more."
"Besides, you have been away from home for too long this time. Not to mention your mother, even I am worried about you all the time." Gu Tingchen said with tears in his eyes, just like an old father who depends on his child both mentally and physically.
Gu Sinan was somewhat touched and asked Gu Tingchen, "Don't you blame me for telling Mom about this in advance?"
Gu Tingchen then remembered his purpose and gave Gu Sinan an annoyed look. "Yeah, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. You little brat, how could you be so cruel as to sell out your father?"
"I came back in such a hurry that I didn't have time to discuss it with you. Besides, telling Mom about this was a last-minute decision on my part. I really couldn't bear to see her sad." When he said this, a trace of sadness flashed across Gu Sinan's eyes.
Gu Tingchen nodded. In fact, he did not blame Gu Sinan in his heart. He would never take his anger out on the child for what happened between him and Jiang Ranran.
"Why did you come back suddenly? Has there been any progress? Or have they discovered you?" Gu Tingchen frowned and asked worriedly.
Gu Sinan's expression turned serious at this time, "Neither of those, I came back this time for a mission."
"What mission?" Gu Tingchen frowned even deeper.
"It's a test for me. They want me to get the secrets of the Gu Group in exchange for my position in their company. In fact, it's to gain their trust in me." Gu Sinan has always been very insightful in his views on things.
Gu Tingchen immediately understood what they meant, and his eyes suddenly became serious. "I understand, and you must come up with something decent, otherwise they won't believe you."
"Yes, I plan to use a self-torture trick." Gu Sinan seemed to have had an idea long ago.
Gu Tingchen wanted to hear more details and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I almost paid the price of my life to get this secret." Gu Sinan said with a firm look.
Gu Tingchen knew that Gu Sinan was always bold in thinking and acting, but he didn't expect him to be so brave, even braver than himself when he was young. Seeing this, Gu Tingchen stared at Gu Sinan in some astonishment.
"What's wrong, Dad? Is there any problem?" Gu Sinan thought Gu Tingchen was going to reject him.
In Gu Sinan's eyes, his father Gu Tingchen is his idol, so Gu Sinan cares very much about Gu Tingchen's every move.
"Sinan, there's no need for us to do this. If something really happens to you, there will be no recovery." Gu Tingchen was against Gu Sinan taking the risk.
"Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Gu Sinan looked at Gu Tingchen confidently.
But how could it be so easy to reassure Gu Tingchen? Gu Tingchen's frown remained unrelieved.
"Tell me first, what kind of self-torture tactics are you planning to use? So I can have an idea." Gu Tingchen was really afraid that Gu Sinan would do something to hurt himself because of his eagerness to win.
Gu Sinan knew what Gu Tingchen was thinking and smiled firmly: "I haven't thought about it yet, but as soon as I think about it, I will tell you immediately, don't worry, Dad."
"Okay, I'll agree to this matter for now, but you also have to promise me one thing." Gu Tingchen suddenly changed the subject.
Gu Sinan raised her eyebrows, and asked in surprise and curiosity, "What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingchen's face was filled with helplessness. "What do you think? You came back suddenly and told your mother the whole truth. Now she's mad at me, and she seems very difficult to appease."
Gu Tingchen shrugged, feeling like he was in big trouble.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Dad, but your skill in coaxing girls is really poor. I can regard you as an idol in other aspects, but not in this aspect." Gu Sinan actually looked down on Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, and he muttered with a dark face: "You caused this trouble yourself, of course you have to clean up the mess yourself. It's not that I can't coax you, but this is something you should do."
This damn charming bandit logic. Gu Sinan knew that he was in the wrong this time, so after thinking about it, he agreed to help Gu Tingchen catch up with Jiang Ranran again.
