Upon hearing this, Gu Rong nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go get it right away."
When her gaze swept over Gu Qiang, Gu Rong added, "But you should also advise Grandpa that he can't always eat candy, or his teeth will rot."
Hearing her words, Rong Fanyu smiled and replied, "I know, I always try to persuade him, but Grandpa just loves it and won't listen. But he's old enough to eat it if he likes it."
As Gu Rong spoke, she turned and went back into her room, and when she came out, she did indeed take a bag of candy with her.
Gu Qiang looked at her hand and saw that she had nothing but candy in it, and couldn't help but wonder if she really wanted the candy.
But then I thought about it again, and since Gu Rong was the only one who went this time, and no one else went, it probably wasn't something serious.
So Gu Qiang didn't say anything and just watched as Gu Rong was taken away by Rong Fanyu.
After everyone left, Gu Qiang, still unwilling to give up, asked Rong Xin, "Wife, you said Dad called Rong Bao over again. Is there something he wants to tell him?"
Rong Xin didn't understand either. She had clearly said before that she would be taking Rong Bao with her, but now that they were here, she wasn't invited and nothing else was said.
Looking at the curious Gu Qiang beside her, Rong Xin rolled her eyes at him: "What could be wrong? Dad just likes Rong Bao and wants her to come over and talk to him. You, stop being so suspicious all the time, go to work."
Gu Qiang scratched his head, still a little worried: "I was just worried something might happen. Since everything's alright, I'll be going now. Wait for me to come back tonight."
Rong Xin rolled her eyes at him sheepishly: "Alright, alright, hurry up and go. After I take Xiao Xing to school, I should go to work too."
"Okay, okay, I'll go first then," Gu Qiang said with a smile as he turned around, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself that he felt like someone was hiding something from him.
So Gu Qiang didn't go to the factory immediately, but went to Qingren Lane instead.
When Bai Rou saw him coming, she happily took his hand and led him inside: "Why are you here now? Did something happen to the Rong family?"
"You're so smart," Gu Qiang said with a smile, gently stroking Bai Rou's nose. "Rong Fanyu just took Gu Rong away, and I have a feeling something's off. Have someone keep an eye on things, and let me know if anything happens."
Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Bai Rou's eyes. She patted her chest and assured them, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on things. If the Rong family makes any moves, I'll let you know immediately."
Gu Qiang nodded and then added, "I have a feeling they've been up to something lately. Be careful and don't let anyone find out. Our future depends on you."
Bai Rou said coquettishly, "I know, you can put your mind at ease now," and Gu Qiang left with peace of mind.
On the other side, Gu Rong followed Rong Fanyu to the Rong family home.
When Rong Liancheng saw Gu Rong, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. He took her hand and asked her warmly, "How have you been these past few days? Have you missed your grandfather?"
"Yes, I've been thinking about when you'll get moving, but why won't you let my mom come along?" Gu Rong really couldn't understand this.
As planned, after they arrived, the Rong family would set off immediately and publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties during the day. She was supposed to come back then, and they would feel at ease knowing she was coming back on her own.
Upon hearing her question, Rong Liancheng led Gu Rong directly to the study, pointed to the person inside, and said, "Jian Shu will come along too, and he will bring you back later."
"Hi~~", Han Jianshu sat on the stool, smiling and waving to Gu Rong.
Gu Rong looked at that face, smiled and waved: "Long time no see, will it just be the two of us then?"
Seeing that Gu Rong's attitude was quite good, Han Jianshu also smiled and said, "Of course not, Xiao He is with us too."
Gu Rong nodded, feeling reassured. As long as she wasn't alone, it was fine. Besides, Han Jianshu was the person she trusted most in the world.
Rong Liancheng continued, "This time, I'll trouble Jian Shu to take care of Rong Bao. When you come back later, I'll have your Aunt Rong Xin treat you to a meal. Rong Bao, please be careful not to run around and be obedient, okay?"
"I understand," Gu Rong replied earnestly.
Han Jianshu stood up and walked to Gu Rong's side with a cheeky grin: "Don't worry, Xiao He and I will protect you."
Gu Rong forced a smile, grabbed the other person's hand and shook it: "Thank you so much."
At this moment, Rong Fanyu walked into the study. Upon seeing this, Rong Liancheng told Gu Rong and Han Jianshu to go out first: "You two go out first, I still have things to arrange here."
The two obediently went out, and after they left, Rong Fanyu spoke up: "Dad, everything is ready. There's a bus tonight, so I'll go with Rong Bao and the others first. You can make the arrangements here and buy tickets for tomorrow night."
Rong Liancheng nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then be careful and call us back in advance if anything happens."
“Okay, I’ll be careful,” Rong Fanyu nodded.
Gu Rong went back to her room after leaving, and Han Jianshu followed her in.
Gu Rong looked at him, unable to help but think about the question she had been ignoring: "I'll have A-Xi to take me back, but what about you? How will you get back?"
Upon hearing this, Han Jianshu smiled somewhat obsequiously: "What? Are you worried about me? If you're really that worried, why don't you start dating me after we get back? Then you'll know how good I am, and you'll definitely be begging to marry me."
Gu Rong, who had been giving him a kind look, glared at him instantly upon hearing this: "Yes, I'm worried about you. I'm afraid you'll stay here alone, waiting for me for eighteen years, and then I'll have to wait for you to live to that point. I'm even more afraid you won't be able to wait and will commit suicide."
Hearing Gu Rong's unconscious words, Han Jianshu was somewhat able to accept him. With a smile in his eyes, he felt that the brainwashing method he used every day was still effective.
Han Jianshu raised an eyebrow: "Then I can't commit suicide. I'm still waiting to marry you. But you really don't need to worry. After you go back, I'll naturally go back too."
"Oh, who's worried?" Gu Rong curled her lips and ignored the glib-tongued guy.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, Han Jianshu didn't say anything more: "I'm going to go outside to find a stream, and I'll come back to play with you later."
"No, I need to sleep for a while, don't come here," Gu Rong refused directly, pushed Han Jianshu out, and slammed the door shut.
