Seeing her expression, Han Jianshu smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he climbed onto Gu Rong's bed and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when it's time to eat."
"Okay, then you should go to sleep," Gu Rong said, seeing how tired he looked.
However, after Han Jianshu fell asleep, Gu Rong left the room, sat in the courtyard, and called Axi out.
Then he handed the pendant that Han Jianshu had just given him to Axi: "Do you recognize this? Do you know how to use it?"
Axi held up the jade pendant, looked it over from head to toe, and then stared at Gu Rong with shining eyes: "Wow, where did you get this?"
Meeting his excited yet somewhat strange gaze, Gu Rongyi couldn't tell whether it was good or bad: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ah Xi excitedly introduced, "This is a great thing. It's full of energy and contains the power of consciousness space. If you use it when you leave, it will serve as a protective shield and a locator."
Gu Rong was surprised to find that, just as Han Jianshu had said, using this thing when leaving would only bring benefits and no harm.
He took the jade pendant and tossed it into his spatial storage, then slumped in his seat waiting for Rong Xin and the others to return.
After waiting for a short while, Xiaohe arrived, carrying a lunchbox full of food.
Gu Rong opened the door and let him in: "Brother Xiao He, just put it on the table, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work," Xiaohe said, putting her things on the table. "I'm going back now. I'll come back to pick up JianShu this afternoon."
Gu Rong was surprised that he was leaving just to deliver food: "Aren't you going to stay and eat with us? Why don't you have lunch before you leave?"
"No, I'm leaving now," Xiaohe said, turning and leaving. Gu Rong locked the courtyard gate again.
Han Jianshu arrived close to noon, and Gu Rong waited a short while before Rong Xin and the others returned.
Rong Xin went next door first, and when she heard that someone was coming to see Gu Rong, the two of them, who were next door, quickly ran over.
Upon opening the door, he saw only Gu Rong and various lunchboxes on the table. He asked, "Who came just now? Has everyone left?"
Gu Rong explained briefly: "Han Jianshu came over. He asked Brother Xiaohe to buy these dishes. Brother Xiaohe just left, and Han Jianshu is sleeping inside!"
Rong Xin's eyes lit up when she heard that Han Jianshu had arrived.
After all, his efforts were partly responsible for his daughter's improved health in the first place.
Furthermore, it was because of his departure that the Han family was willing to help, which is why things went so smoothly.
Therefore, Rong Xin genuinely liked Han Jianshu: "He's here! You know, the child just comes like that, why did he even have someone buy groceries? How long has he been sleeping?"
"He had only been asleep for a short while when I went in to wake him," Gu Rong said, about to go into the room to call Han Jianshu.
Seeing this, Rong Xin stepped forward to stop him: "Your dad hasn't come back yet. Let him sleep a little longer. Wait until he comes back before calling him. I'll go make some soup."
"Okay," Gu Rong said, then slumped back in her chair.
Rong Xin walked to the table, opened a lunchbox, and smelled it. "It smells so good! And it's all meat dishes. It must have cost a lot of money."
How can we let a child spend this money? We have to give him the money when he wakes up, otherwise it's not like we, the adults, are bullying a child.
After Xiaohe brought it over, Gu Rong opened it and glanced at it. It was full of meat and vegetables, and all of them were her favorite dishes.
Considering Han Jianshu's personality, even if he were given the money, he wouldn't accept it.
So Gu Rong said directly, "He won't take the money even if you give it to him, so save yourself the trouble. You might as well take him to a state-run restaurant for dinner tonight."
“You’re right, then let’s invite him to dinner tonight,” Rong Xin thought about it and agreed. She stopped worrying about the money and turned to the kitchen to cook soup.
Just as Rongxin Soup was ready, Gu Qiang returned.
Seeing this, Gu Rong entered the room and gently shook Han Jianshu awake: "Get up and eat, or you'll miss out on food."
Han Jianshu rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Okay, I'll get up now."
After sitting up, I couldn't help but yawn: "Ah~~ It's still so comfortable to sleep here. Let me sleep for a while after lunch, otherwise I'll have to check the training results when I get back. I'm never having a good time."
Considering he gave her such a nice gift, Gu Rong felt she was getting a good deal and wouldn't be stingy: "Okay, you can sleep as long as you want."
When the two arrived in the courtyard, Gu Qiang and Rong Xin set the food on the table.
During the meal, Gu Qiang's gaze remained fixed on Han Jianshu: "Jianshu, right? I heard that Rongbao was sick before, and it was because of you that she got better. Thank you so much."
Han Jianshu smiled shyly, "Uncle Gu, it's nothing, it's good that Rongbao is alright."
Gu Qiang continued, "We owe a great deal to your family for helping with the Rong family's affairs this time. We will always remember this kindness."
Her grandfather passed away in such a hurry. I remember you went with him, but I don't know if he left any message. Do you know anything about him?
Han Jianshu waved his hand, "Uncle Gu, you're too kind. Rong Bao and I are friends, and it's only right for friends to help each other."
As for the Rong family matter you mentioned, I don't know much about it. I was just playing with my uncle when I ran into Rong Bao on my way back. After hearing what happened, I brought her back with me. I don't know anything else.
Seeing how small he was, yet spoke so eloquently, Gu Qiang couldn't help but think, "No wonder he's a child raised by the Han family."
Gu Qiang glanced at Gu Rong, sighed, and said, "Oh, that's a real pity. Rongbao has been missing her grandfather a lot lately, and she's even had nightmares about him!"
Gu Rong rolled her eyes at Gu Qiang in her heart, and her words were filled with curses: "I didn't have a nightmare. Grandpa said that people who talk nonsense will not have a good ending. Dad, you can't talk nonsense. I don't want you to die."
"That's right, Xiaoqiang, stop talking nonsense and eat your food," Rongxin said, picking up a piece of meat and placing it on Gu Qiang's plate, signaling him to stop asking questions.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore," Gu Qiang said, picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
The more Gu Qiang didn't say anything, the more suspicious he became, and the more certain the Han family was involved. It was just that Han Jianshu was too cunning and simply didn't want to talk about it.
However, the Han family was not one he could afford to offend, so he had to endure it and start by targeting those around him.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Qiang stood up and said, "Xiao Xin, I have to go out for a bit. I might be back for dinner tonight, so don't wait for me."
Rong Xin originally thought that since they had a guest, even if he was a minor guest, he was still a very important guest who would be of great help to their family, and it would be inappropriate for Gu Qiang, the head of the household, to be absent.
Gu Qiang was walking too fast; before Rong Xin could even finish speaking, he was already out of sight.
