When Li saw their appearance, she paused for a moment, then looked at Li Rong, not understanding what Li Rong meant by those words.
She looked at Gu Sang
Gu Sang smiled and nodded at this moment.
“Mother, because of our third branch of the family, Li Rong is now basically being targeted by the Gu family. I think... since that's the case, why can't we bring him to town together? That way, it will be easier for us to look after each other. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Li remained silent for a moment, but instead frowned slightly, her heart filled with some inner turmoil.
To be honest, this is not what the Li family wanted. Furthermore, now that things have turned out this way, what about the future?
Thinking of all this, Madam Li sighed and then said, "Sangsang, it's not that Mother doesn't agree, it's just..."
“I know what Mother is thinking.” After saying that, Gu Sang looked at Li Rong again.
At this moment, Li Rong was actually a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have stayed to listen to what the mother and daughter were saying, as it was inappropriate. However, Gu Sang didn't want him to leave, so Li Rong could only stand there and wait anxiously.
This feeling is actually not pleasant.
Gu Sang knew Li Rong's thoughts, and it was precisely because she knew that she was even more determined not to let Li Rong leave.
“Mother, don’t forget that my life was saved by Li Rong. If it weren’t for him that day, I would probably be reporting to the King of Hell by now. Why should we think so much about our savior?”
Gu Sang understood what kind of person Li was. She was easy to talk about in other matters, but when it came to the topic of saving lives, Li would absolutely not say another word!
As expected, Li Shi, who originally did not want to accept it, nodded vigorously at this moment!
"Sangsang is right! Mother is too old-fashioned!"
Nothing is more important than a woman's life, and that is precisely why Li really can't think about so much.
She thought for a moment and said, "I was overthinking things before, but I forgot that Li Rong saved Sangsang's life. If it weren't for you, my Sangsang..."
Even though the matter is over, even though it's all in the past, Li still feels afraid whenever she thinks about it!
How could I not be afraid?
She almost lost her daughter!
Once these things are thought of, even if Li is magnanimous and filial, she will not be able to forgive the Gu family.
Li Rong was also frightened by Li's appearance, and immediately waved her hand, saying, "Auntie, why are you like this? I think anyone would have done the same in that situation. No one could just stand by and watch a life be lost, right?"
Gu Sang blinked upon hearing this.
Although Li Rong said that, Gu Sang did not think so.
It's not that no one saw Gu Sang being buried alive, but many people chose to remain indifferent and ignore it.
So, human nature is sometimes really hard to fathom. Opinions on this matter vary from person to person, and it's only natural to expect gratitude for helping someone.
"Since you've made up your mind, then you should also get ready. Is there anything at home that needs to be packed? If so, hurry back and come back before it gets dark so you can make it in time for dinner."
Gu Sang has always been efficient in handling matters.
Li Rong hadn't expected things to be so simple in Gu Sang's eyes. After thinking about it, he realized this was the most convenient way and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll change back now and tidy up."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After Li Rong left, Madam Li glanced at Gu Sang and sighed helplessly.
“Sangsang, I understand your good intentions, and this matter is indeed true, but... I'm afraid it will tarnish your reputation.”
Li Rong is already over ten years old, a young man who will be getting married in a couple of years. What will people say if he stays with the third branch of the family?
Gu Xiang understood what Li was thinking and knew exactly what Li was worried about.
But for Gu Sang, this kind of thing really wasn't a big deal.
“Mother, these things are things that will happen in two or three years. Why should we worry about things that will happen in two or three years? Besides… if this restaurant opens, we will need someone to run errands. Do you think I have time to go out, or should you go? Da Wa is still too young to handle things. So, it would be best if Li Rong were here.”
Gu Sang wasn't being overly kind; she had thought things through before telling Li Shi about it.
She has never been the type to scheme over such matters, but now that things have escalated to this point, it shows that they can take their time to calculate things in this kind of situation.
Upon hearing this, Li was taken aback at first, but after a long while, she nodded.
"Mother understands now, Mother was confused."
Li was not an unreasonable person. After Gu Sang made her point so clearly, Li understood that although this was not inevitable, it was enough to show that it was the best arrangement.
Seeing that Li Shi had truly let go of her resentment, Gu Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite her many methods, she could never stop everyone from having wild thoughts.
As long as Li doesn't overthink things, Gu Sang will be able to handle anything without any obstacles.
It sounds ridiculous, but it's true, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Gu Sang couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Li Shi.
"Mother, Li Rong's identity is definitely not that simple. Just you wait and see."
She was quite confident in her judgment of people.
Upon hearing this, Li didn't understand what it meant at first, but seeing Gu Sang's smug and confident expression, Gu Sang nodded in agreement.
"This... I don't know either, but I believe that our Sangsang is so smart, what she says must be correct, so... I'm willing to believe her."
After she finished speaking, Li also took Gu Sang's small hand.
The ten-year-old girl had taken on all the burdens of the family. It wasn't that Li Shi didn't owe Gu Sang a debt, but she knew what kind of person she was and knew that she couldn't handle things. So even though Li Shi felt sorry for her, she could only endure it.
"Sangsang, it's your mother who's dragging you down."
