"Wait a minute." Rong Shang grabbed his hand. "Baili, why didn't your family come to pick you up?"
After he was fired last time, he lived in a hotel for a period of time, and it seems that his family did not call him during that time.
"Busy, huh?" Gu Baili chuckled lightly. "If everyone came to pick me up, who would make money?"
His tone was fairly cheerful, but Rong Shang felt uneasy listening to it.
Will the Gu family ever lack money?
Of course not.
This is probably another typical case of parents neglecting their children because they are focused on making money.
Although Gu Baili himself said that his family was very wealthy since he was a child, and many people envied him.
But Rong Shang knew that behind all that glory, he must be very tired and disappointed.
While money is said to be omnipotent, it can also be utterly evil.
Today is Mrs. Tang's birthday, but Rong Shang heard that Tang Zhengmao was going on a business trip. After thinking about it, she invited Gu Baili to have dinner at the Tang family home.
Since that incident, the Tang family has seen far less laughter, and the couple hardly speaks to each other anymore.
But Rong Chang didn't see this as a problem; as long as people are alive, time will heal everything.
...
In the evening, Rong Shang called Tang Tai beforehand and then took Gu Baili back home.
Half an hour later, when they arrived at the Tang family mansion, they were surprised to find that Tang Zhengmao had returned.
In an instant, Rong Shang could feel the man beside her was a little nervous.
She smiled gently at him and took his hand, saying, "Let's go in."
"Okay." Gu Baili nodded, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

A moment later, in the large living room, when several pairs of eyes met, the atmosphere inexplicably cooled down.
Tang Zhengmao frowned and snorted coldly, "Sheng'er, why did you bring him back?"
This was the first time in a month that Tang Zhengmao had spoken to Rong Shang. But no one expected that now that she had regained her female identity and all the negative public opinion against them had disappeared, why was Tang Zhengmao still so dissatisfied with Gu Baili?
Startled, Gu Baili subconsciously took a step back, only to find Rong Shang's hand had already reached behind his waist and wrapped around him.
"Dad, we're together now..."
"Everyone knows you're together."
Rong Shang was interrupted by Tang Zhengmao before she could finish speaking. His reaction seemed to indicate that he genuinely disliked Gu Baili.
Rong Shang frowned and asked, "Why is that?"
Why can't I bring him back?
"Bringing a man home at such a young age, what kind of image would that be if others found out?"
Tang Zhengmao, as a soldier, was inherently very traditional and upright.
Previously, Tang Sheng was a boy, so Tang Zhengmao could naturally raise him in a more hands-off manner. But now that Tang Sheng is a girl, Tang Zhengmao naturally has to keep a closer eye on her.
Otherwise, would Gu Baili have thought that Tang Zhengmao's daughter was so easily kidnapped?
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhengmao's thoughts were like this at this moment. Rong Shang pursed her lips, a smile flashing in her eyes.
She nudged the tall man beside her and whispered, "Baili, you should tell my dad something."
Tang Zhengmao witnessed Rong Shang pushing Gu Baili away. He narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Gu Baili understood Rong Shang's meaning. He raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man in front of him, his thin lips moved, and he said sincerely, "Uncle, I am different from other men. I am going to marry Sheng'er in the future."
