The old man and his eldest son were not in the living room of the old house at the time, but in the study, so they did not hear their great-grandson's shouts.
The little one, however, ran in and realized that his great-grandfather and the others weren't there. His little head darted around, and finally he spotted Xiaoju coming in from the back.
"Sister Xiaoju~" she called out sweetly.
"I thought I misheard when I heard your voice. I didn't expect that the young master is really back! How was your time? Did you have fun?"
"Hmm... I should say I'm still happy." Nothing bad happened, after all.
"Sister Xiaoju, where are my grandpa and great-grandpa?"
Xiaoju put down her tools, glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on a closed room:
"He should be in the study."
During this period, it's impossible for anyone to be wandering around outside aimlessly. Since they weren't in the living room and weren't seen going out, they must be in the study.
The little guy nodded:
"Then I'll go find them." With that, she hopped off towards the study on her short little legs.
Xiaoju couldn't even call out in time, and in the end, there was nothing she could do but sigh to herself.
Just then, Dugu Yi entered and, seeing Xiaoju like this, frowned.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
It's clear that Dugu Yi and Xiaoju have a pretty good relationship; otherwise, how could Dugu Yi have asked the question on his own?
Xiaoju paused for a moment before shaking her head:
"I'm fine. Oh, what are you holding in your hand?"
Dugu Yi was carrying a bag, which he hadn't had before.
Over there, the little boy also stopped halfway and looked over here, his face showing the same curiosity: How come Uncle Yi suddenly had a bag in his hand after disappearing for a short while?
"I don't know, someone gave it to me." After calmly saying this, Dugu Yi directly shoved the bag into Xiaoju's hands, leaving Xiaoju completely bewildered.
However, Dugu Yi truly didn't know what was inside, nor did he have any intention of seeking knowledge or exploring it. He walked up to the little man and asked:
Are you going to see your grandfather and the others?
"Yes, that's right."
"I'll go too."
The man, however, had no problem with it and nodded in agreement immediately.
"Let's go together then."
One after the other, the two stood at the study door. The little man reached out and turned the doorknob, then pushed the door open with a hiss.
"Great-grandfather, grandpa~~" she rushed over.
The Gu father and son were talking about something in the study, their faces looking quite serious. However, upon hearing the little man's voice, these two men, who were both very powerful figures in the outside world, instantly changed their expressions, as if their previous serious demeanor was not their own, and both became smiling.
"Your grandson is back?" Dean Gu asked with a smile.
The old man sat in a chair, and the little one ran straight over and started huffing and puffing as he climbed onto the old man's lap. Only then did the little guy give a proper answer:
"Yes, Grandpa, Tuanzi is back."
Dean Gu couldn't argue with his own father, so he had no choice but to endure it.
"Hey, didn't you say you were coming back this afternoon? How come you're back so early this morning?" I asked again.
Upon hearing this, the little guy wrinkled his face and pouted.
"I don't know, Brother Yao and Uncle sent us back early this morning."
The little ones still don't know the reason, but that doesn't stop the adults from speculating.
As for Uncle Qin, since they all lived in the same compound, how could he not know or understand him?
There must be something that led to sending them back ahead of schedule!
I just don't know what it is.
