Saturday arrived quickly, and Ji Yanchen drove Shi Miao to the airport to pick up Gu Wanqing.
As soon as Gu Wanqing came out, she spotted two conspicuous figures in the crowd.
"Miaomiao!" Gu Wanqing ran forward and hugged her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for several days.
“Mom.” Shi Miao’s eyes warmed and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
After releasing Shi Miao, Gu Wanqing turned to look at Ji Yanchen beside her and asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"
"Yes, my boyfriend is Ji Yanchen."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Wanqing's eyes, and she asked uncertainly, "It wouldn't be that Ji family member from the capital, would it?"
"Hello, Auntie, it's me." Ji Yanchen nodded solemnly.
"Hello."
"So, how did you two meet?" Gu Wanqing asked, linking her arm with Shi Miao's affectionately, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Shi Miao raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and smiled helplessly, "Mom, let's go back to the car first and I'll tell you on the way. Grandpa and the others are still waiting for us."
"Okay," Gu Wanqing said with a smile.

"Yunbai, why haven't Miaomiao and the others arrived yet?" Gu Qingshan kept glancing towards the door, his eyes filled with tension and anticipation.
"Dad, you've asked me this several times in just one minute..." Gu Yunbai shook his head helplessly, stood up and refilled his teacup.
"You little rascal, you're teasing me now. Take a look at my hair, is it messy?" Gu Qingshan turned around to look at him and pointed to his hair.
"Nothing's wrong, everything's fine," Gu Yunbai said with a smile as he took a sip of tea.
Shi Miao led Gu Wanqing to the door of the private room. "Go in, Grandpa is waiting for you."
"Miaomiao, do you think he will forgive me?" Gu Wanqing hesitated at the door, her fingers tightly gripping her bag.
"Don't worry, Grandpa misses you very much," Shi Miao said gently, her bright eyes fixed on her.
Gu Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Hearing the door open, Gu Qingshan suddenly stood up, leaning on his cane, and stared at Gu Wanqing as she walked in.
Seeing this, Gu Yunbai nodded to her and then walked out, leaving the father and daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years, alone.
“Dad…” Gu Wanqing slowly stepped forward, her eyelids lowered, and spoke softly.
"Wanqing! You've come!" Gu Qingshan's eyes were slightly red, and his voice choked with emotion.
"I was wrong to you back then. I shouldn't have been so heartless as to kick you out of the house..." Gu Qingshan's eyes were filled with regret and self-blame as he looked at his long-missed daughter and continued to speak.
Gu Wanqing shook her head and helped Gu Qingshan sit down. "Dad, I'm the one who should apologize. I was too willful back then. It's not your fault."
......
After a long while, Gu Wanqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go and call them in."
"good."
After everyone was seated, Gu Wanqing looked at Gu Yunbai across from her and said, "Brother, it's been a long time."
"Sigh, it's good that you're back." Gu Yunbai nodded with relief.
"By the way, where are my sister-in-law and Yan Xin?"
Gu Yunbai's face stiffened, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
“Wanqing, your brother got divorced…” Gu Qingshan noticed his son’s predicament and spoke up for him.
Gu Wanqing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, clearly not expecting it to be like this. After regaining her senses, she said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know."
"I'm fine, let's order quickly." Gu Yunbai smiled and waved his hand dismissively.

After everyone finished their meal, they parted ways at the restaurant entrance. Gu Wanqing followed Shi Miao to Lanting Apartment.
"Miaomiao, Mom hasn't asked you yet how you got back to the Gu family?" Gu Wanqing pulled Shi Miao's hand and sat her down on the sofa.
Ji Yanchen brought over two cups of hot water and placed them on the table in front of the two of them.
“My grandfather found me back then. I did a paternity test with my uncle, and after it was confirmed that I was his daughter, I was taken back to the Gu family.”
"How could that be? Has the test report been tampered with?" Gu Wanqing quickly understood the key point and frowned as she asked.
“Yes, I think Qin Chu was behind the whole thing when I looked back at the Gu family.” Shi Miao reached for a glass of water on the table and took a sip.
"Who exactly is he..." Gu Wanqing tapped her head absently, trying to find a relevant person in her mind.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. He took her hand and said gently, "Don't worry, we'll find a way to remember."
"Okay." Gu Wanqing nodded and said softly.
"By the way, didn't Qin Chu say anything this time you came?"
Gu Wanqing shook her head. "No, he didn't say anything, but I just feel something's off..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao's gaze deepened, and she pursed her lips. "Don't go back for the time being."
"Why?"
"He might do something to you." Shi Miao said in a deep voice, his dark eyes filled with a hint of malice.
"Miaomiao, are you overthinking this?" A slight look of surprise flashed in Gu Wanqing's eyes.
"Just in case." Shi Miao grasped Gu Wanqing's hand, looking at her earnestly.
"Okay, then Mom will take good care of you here during this time." Gu Wanqing patted her hand with a smile in her eyes.
