"Yes! We can't leave! We absolutely can't leave City B!"
Zhuang Xiuya hugged Gu Xinfei, her gaze revealing determination!
She knew well that Gu Yibo was a simple, easily manipulated, conflicted, and kind man.
As long as she and her daughter clung to him, he would definitely not truly ignore them heartlessly!
Zhuang Xiuya said, "Dear, let's go to Wan'an Town to clear our minds. It's close to City B, and any news travels fast here.
We, mother and daughter, will observe and wait for the right moment. When it comes, we must fight a beautiful battle to turn things around!"
Gu Xinfei replied, "Okay!"
As Gu Xinzhou arrived at Wan'an Town, Zhuang Xiuya and her daughter also arrived.
It was just that one of them stayed in an old district in the east of the town and the other in a new development in the west of the town; they simply never met.
Gu Xinzhou knocked on the door.
Lan Baozhen, startled, said through the door, "I don't know you, please leave!"
"Grandma!" Gu Xinzhou said tenderly, "I had a fight with Dad and ran away from home.
If you don't take me in, I'll have to spend the night on the grass downstairs."
Lan Baozhen naturally couldn't bear to let Gu Xinzhou go.
She opened the door, saw the large suitcase, and scolded with annoyance, "What have you done?"
Looking left and right, noticing that no neighbors had opened their doors,
she quickly pulled Gu Xinzhou inside, along with the suitcase, and closed the door.
She pulled Gu Xinzhou in front of her and asked, "Did you run out of a banquet?"
Otherwise, why would she be wearing such a beautiful dress and shoes, and even her little face was smeared with makeup, looking like a little tear-stained kitten?
Gu Xinzhou had also gotten into the taxi before she realized she was still dressed in a gown.
She was still wearing jewelry worth millions.
Luckily, the taxi driver was a good man; despite the long distance, he had dropped her at the entrance to the residential area and left.
Gu Xinzhou softly said, "Grandma, I have a lot to tell you.
There's something I don't know if Dad has told you.
I only found out about it today."
Lan Baozhen asked curiously, "Does your dad know you're here?"
Gu Xinzhou nodded, "He knows and agreed that I could stay for a while."
Lan Baozhen thought for a moment and said, "That room over there is where your dad always stays when he comes.
I've always kept it clean.
Put your luggage in there, take a shower, and change your clothes.
Grandma will go cook, and we can talk while we eat later."
Gu Xinzhou's face showed surprise, and fireworks burst in her eyes, thrilled, "Great! I'll go wash now!"
She rushed off with her suitcase.
Although this house was very different from the rural house where she used to live with her grandparents as a child,
Gu Xinzhou still felt a sense of belonging.
It was as if she was meant to return here.
She entered the room and found many of Gu Yibo's clothes in the wardrobe.
It appeared that over the years, Gu Yibo had stayed here quite a few times.
After showering and emerging with her long hair draped over her shoulders, Gu Xinzhou wore a pink T-shirt and simple jeans.
She walked into the kitchen in slippers, smiling, and asked, "Grandma, do you need help?"
Lan Baozhen smiled warmly, "No need, just sit and wait, dinner will be ready soon!"
She didn't know what Little Zhouzhou liked to eat now.
Lan Baozhen had prepared all the dishes she liked when she was a child.
Before long,
the warm dinner table was set with three dishes and a soup: sweet and sour lotus roots, braised lion's head meatballs, stir-fried green pepper and shredded potatoes, and carp soup.
Gu Xinzhou's eyes immediately reddened, "Grandma, I am so happy!"
Laden with emotion, Lan Baozhen served a large lion's head meatball to her granddaughter, "Eat up!
And tell me, why did you run away from home?"
