Ye Lichuan frowned: "That's about it. We've checked everyone else, so the problem lies with them."
Ye Lichuan asked Gu Anran to call the woman and find out about the maid from that day.
The woman was no ordinary person; how could she not understand Gu Anran's meaning? She had someone secretly investigate the servant's situation and eventually discovered that the servant had recently received a substantial transfer.
It was money far beyond her means. The woman called for Gu Anran and had the servants brought up.
The maid vehemently denied it, insisting she hadn't taken it. Only when the woman threw the transfer record at her did she realize she'd been exposed.
She clung to the woman's leg, sobbing, "Boss, I'm sorry, please let me go this time. I have my reasons."
The woman looked at her coldly, saying that even if you have a great reason for your actions, you shouldn't steal or rob.
"You should keep it to talk to the police," the maid said as she was dragged away. She looked at Gu Anran apologetically and said, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining you properly, and I've made you suffer."
She took out a gift box and presented it to Gu Anran as an apology. Gu Anran smiled slightly and said, "I accept your kindness, but there's no need for the gift. As the saying goes, one should not accept a gift without merit."
The woman looked at Gu Anran with satisfaction, neither arrogant nor impatient, showing good character.
Ye Lichuan accompanied Gu Anran as she left, bringing this matter to a perfect close.
Gu Anran can finally go back and get a good night's sleep, and also spend some quality time with Gu Xiaotian.
Since being kidnapped last time, Gu Xiaotian has been living with Gu Anran. Tonight, the old man asked him to go back for dinner.
Gu Anran didn't think much of it, and Gu Xiaotian went to the old house after finishing work.
Old Master Ye had his servants prepare a meal and also arranged for a personal bodyguard for him.
Gu Xiaotian had no idea what he was about to face. He happily went back to eat, greeted his grandparents, and then went to find his aunt.
He hadn't studied advanced physics with his aunt in a long time, so he couldn't wait to go to the study.
Gu Xiaotian fainted halfway through his meal. Gu Anran called him but no one answered. It was already late at night. Should he stay at the old house or come back to stay?
She asked Ye Lichuan to call and ask. After the call was connected, Old Master Ye solemnly informed her: "Gu Xiaotian has been sent abroad. He will inherit the family business in the future, so he must go abroad to study from now on."
Before Ye Lichuan could speak, Old Master Ye hung up the phone, so Ye Lichuan had no choice but to tell Gu Anran about it.
He didn't want to deceive her. Gu Anran felt like the sky had fallen when she heard this. Why didn't he tell her before making this decision?
Ye Lichuan and Gu Anran drove to the old house and had a big argument with Old Master Ye, who refused to tell them where their child was.
Helpless, Ye Lichuan and Gu Anran went back to investigate first. Ye Lichuan investigated Gu Xiaotian's exit records overnight, but found nothing.
With teary eyes, Gu Anran leaned against Ye Lichuan's chest. She didn't know where her baby was now, and she didn't know what he would do if he knew he had been sent away.
Ye Lichuan comforted Gu Anran, thinking about how to find Gu Xiaotian.
The next day, Ye Lichuan went back to negotiate with his father. He said, "You can't put all the blame on a child. He has his own life to live."
He shouldn't have sacrificed everything for the family. Have you ever asked him if he was willing to give up everything for the family?
If you're taking a child away, shouldn't you ask the child's mother's opinion?
Gu Anran is now unable to concentrate on her work and spends her days in tears, worrying about whether Gu Xiaotian has reached his destination, whether he has eaten, and whether he has enough clothes.
Old Master Ye looked at his son sternly, his expression displeased: "Do you know what you're saying to me?"
Isn't this the process for every person who inherits a family business?
“I’ve noticed that you’ve become indecisive since you got married. I’m just helping you grow so that you can come up with solutions when you encounter problems in the future.”
Can we stay with him for the rest of our lives?
Have you considered what will happen if he has no resilience when facing life's difficulties in the future?
Is it you who can accompany him for a lifetime, or Gu Anran who can accompany him for a lifetime? How could you become so sentimental?
Ye Lichuan was speechless after being rebuked by Old Master Ye. What he said wasn't entirely correct, but it did make sense. Gu Xiaotian would have to face all of this sooner or later.
But when he thought about how Gu Anran was losing her appetite, he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
He talked for a long time without getting anywhere, so he had no choice but to go back to take care of Gu Anran. When he got back, he found that there were guests.
When Ye Lichuan walked in, he saw Old Lu sitting in the living room. His face was gloomy, and he was obviously angry.
Ye Lichuan greeted him politely, "You've arrived."
Old Master Lu glanced at Ye Lichuan: "Did your stubborn old man tell you where my precious disciple went?"
Ye Lichuan smiled awkwardly: "No, if you're afraid, we'll think of another way."
Old Lu frowned unhappily: "Alright, you don't need to worry about it. I'll go myself. I want to see if this stubborn old man is still the same after all these years."
Ye Lichuan looked at Old Lu helplessly and nodded. These two stubborn old men were really alike.
After leaving Gu Anran and Ye Lichuan's villa, Old Lu headed straight for the Ye family's old residence.
Old Lu gazed out the window with his aged eyes, reminiscing about his youth, memories that had faded away with the wind.
He wondered if the stubborn old man had forgotten him, since they hadn't seen each other for so many years.
A discreet luxury car pulled up in front of the Ye family mansion. The butler came out and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Old Lu slowly opened the car door and got out: "Old man, do you still remember me?"
The butler rubbed his eyes in surprise: "It's you! That's wonderful, Master will be very happy."
Old Lu shook his head, looking at the butler and jokingly said, "You've only gotten older, but your personality hasn't changed at all?"
The butler awkwardly invited Old Master Lu inside, had the servants serve tea, and then went to inform Old Master Ye.
The butler rushed excitedly to the study and knocked on the door urgently. Old Master Ye frowned and said, "Come in. What is it that makes you so anxious?"
The butler greeted Old Master Ye before mentioning Old Master Lu's visit. Old Master Ye, unaware that he had lost his phone and book, asked in shock, "Who did you say came?"
The butler confirmed again, "It is Elder Lu."
Old Master Ye hurriedly got up from his chair and walked out quickly, looking nothing like an old man.
He walked down the stairs and into the living room, remaining in a daze for a long time, until their eyes met.
Old Master Ye broke the silence first: "You old codger, you still know to come see this old bone of mine?"
"I thought we would never meet again in this lifetime."
Old Master Lu's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Old Master Ye with bright eyes: "How could that be? I'm here now."
