Gu Hong was forced to apologize to Lin Han, but she was still resentful, feeling that Lin Han was deliberately messing with her, and that the rest of the Gu family were siding with Lin Han and ignoring the commotion.
How could someone like her, a great-aunt, be so easily manipulated by an outsider who married into the family and has no blood relation to her?
She ran upstairs in the dark.
Since Lin Han doesn't need to get up at night to breastfeed, Gu Qizheng gets up every two hours to make formula for the three babies, so Lin Han sleeps alone on the big bed inside.
Gu Qizheng set up a single bed and stood guard beside the two cribs.
Gu Hong tiptoed upstairs and peered into Lin Han's bedroom in the moonlight.
The adults and children were all fast asleep. She tiptoed in, picked up the baby's formula can, and went downstairs.
She thought no one had noticed her little actions, but Gu Qizheng, a former soldier, could hear every little sound clearly.
He woke up when Gu Hong went upstairs.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Hong walk into their room, pick up the milk powder can, and then go out the door.
He didn't stop them immediately, but waited two or three minutes before following them downstairs.
Since Lin Han doesn't like Gu Hong, and Gu Hong has other bad intentions, it would be best to catch her in the act and kick her out.
Gu Qizheng knew that Gu Hong had done a favor for Old Master Gu, so Old Master Gu couldn't personally tell her to leave.
But Gu Hong is a troublemaker. Since she's going to make a mistake, we should catch her red-handed.
After Gu Qizheng went downstairs, only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the previously quiet living room. When he reached the kitchen door, he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound coming from inside.
His heart tightened, and he quickly walked over and, without hesitation, turned on all the lights in the living room with a "snap".
The sudden light startled Gu Hong, who was busy in the kitchen. Her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the milk powder can on the ground.
Gu Hong quickly steadied herself and looked closely. It turned out that Gu Qizheng was standing in front of her, staring at her with a stern gaze.
Having just emerged from darkness and been suddenly exposed to bright light, Gu Hong's eyes had difficulty adjusting. She squinted and it took her a while to see clearly that the person standing in front of her was Gu Qizheng.
She felt a sudden fluster and didn't know what to say.
Gu Hong was secretly annoyed. She had been very careful, tiptoeing up and down the stairs. Logically, no one should have heard her!
But now Gu Qizheng suddenly appeared in front of her and questioned her about what she was doing and why she was holding a baby formula can.
Faced with Gu Qizheng's questioning, Gu Hong stammered and tried to find an excuse to explain.
However, before she could figure out what to say, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Jiang, who were light sleepers, were also woken up.
They pushed open the bedroom door and came out, looking at Gu Qizheng and Gu Hong standing in the kitchen, and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you sleeping in the kitchen in the middle of the night? What are you doing standing there?"
Gu Qizheng held Gu Hong's hand to prevent her from making any other movements.
"Grandpa, Grandma, and Great-Aunt came into our room in the middle of the night and took the baby's formula can. Then, I don't know what they were doing in the kitchen."
I'm afraid she'll add something to the baby's formula. The baby is still so small; she can't handle that kind of trouble.
