Chapter 309 Leaving without saying goodbye
Looking at the empty living room, Gu Yinshen heard noises coming from the kitchen and turned to go there.
"Sir!" Aunt Ping brought out the dishes and ran into Gu Yinshen.
Seeing that only Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping were in the kitchen, Gu Yinshen turned to the living room and asked, "Where's Tiantian?"
Aunt Xue leaned out and replied, "After you all went upstairs, she stormed off into the yard."
"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work." Gu Yinshen turned around and went over after learning where Tian Tian had gone.
When the door was opened, the courtyard was empty; Tian Tian was not in the courtyard as Aunt Xue had said.
Did they go to the back garden?
As Gu Yinshen pondered this, he walked towards the back garden.
Just like in the front yard, Sweetie was nowhere to be seen in the back garden.
The Gu family home is only so big. Could it be that she went upstairs while Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping were busy?
Gu Yinshen looked up, his gaze falling on the room where Tian Tian was.
"Dad~"
Mengmeng appeared on the balcony of the room and waved her arms happily to greet Gu Yinshen.
Hearing her call, Gu Shiyu also came out of the room and looked down at Gu Yinshen standing in the back garden.
"Dad, what are you doing there?" Gu Shiyu asked curiously.
Shouldn't he be in the room with Ruolan right now?
Filled with doubt, he looked down at the back garden, his gaze searching for Ruolan's figure.
After looking around, he confirmed that Gu Yinshen was the only one downstairs.
Mengmeng turned to look at Gu Shiyu and said, "Brother, let's go downstairs to find Dad!"
“Okay.” Gu Shiyu was also curious as to why Gu Yinshen was alone in the back garden, so he nodded in agreement.
A short while later, the two met Gu Yinshen at the entrance of the living room.
"Daddy, Mengmeng and her brother are about to go to the back garden to find you," Mengmeng said, tugging at Gu Yinshen's hand and acting coquettishly.
Gu Yinshen nodded in response and asked, "Have you seen Tiantian upstairs?"
"Sister Sweetie?" Mengmeng asked.
"Yes, did you see that?"
"No! Mengmeng and her brother were in the room the whole time. We only came down after we saw Dad in the back garden."
"it is good."
Gu Yinshen was somewhat absent-minded, and walked past the two of them upstairs.
Looking at Gu Yinshen's thoughtful back, Mengmeng looked at Gu Shiyu with a puzzled expression, "Brother, Dad looks strange."
Normally, Gu Yinshen would spend time with her whenever he was home. But now, he left after only exchanging a few words, without even saying goodbye.
Gu Shiyu also noticed it.
"Mengmeng, didn't you just say you wanted to drink juice? Go to the kitchen and find Aunt Xue. Your brother will go upstairs and see what's wrong with Dad."
"Okay." After watching Gu Shiyu go upstairs, Mengmeng turned and went into the kitchen.
Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping, who were just chatting sweetly, immediately smiled when they saw Mengmeng and asked warmly, "Mengmeng, what brings you to the kitchen? Are you hungry?"
"Aunt Xue, Mengmeng will drink her juice first," Mengmeng replied.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ping immediately took out freshly squeezed juice from the refrigerator. "Mengmeng, look, it's like your Aunt Xue and I sensed in advance that you wanted to drink juice, so we just squeezed it and put it in the refrigerator."
"Hehehe~" Mengmeng giggled, "Mengmeng loves Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping the most."
The soft little person ran into her arms, melting Aunt Ping's heart.
The second floor of Gu's house.
"Dad, what do you want with Tian Tian?" Gu Shiyu asked as he saw Gu Yinshen come out of Tian Tian's room.
“She’s gone!” Gu Yinshen said.
Neither the back garden Aunt Ping mentioned nor what he thought was the room did he find Tian Tian.
"Gone?" Gu Shiyu was surprised.
In less than half an hour, she hid herself and they couldn't find her.
Gu Shiyu didn't care where Tiantian went at all. He said to Gu Yinshen, "Dad, if you ask me, she might have done it on purpose. She wants us to go find her, then blame ourselves and think that our neglect caused her accident."
This happens every time; after so many times, I can already anticipate it.
"Let's check the surveillance footage, at least to find out where she is," Gu Yinshen said.
After all, Ruolan still cares about her. If Ruolan finds out that Tiantian left the Gu family in such a short time, she will feel guilty and blame herself for not insisting on applying ointment to her wound.
Gu Shiyu understood Gu Yinshen's concerns, nodded, and entered the study.
Turn on the computer and immediately retrieve the surveillance footage from half an hour ago.
After coming out of the living room, Tian Tian stood in the yard for a while. A few minutes later, she opened the door and left the yard.
"Was she waiting for us to find her so we could coax her?" Gu Shiyu asked.
Gu Yinshen pressed the keyboard and deleted the video from the computer, saying, "Don't tell your mother about this."
"Now what?"
"I'll send some people to search the area first."
Gu Yinshen took out his phone from his pocket and began contacting his bodyguards.
Downstairs, Mengmeng finished her juice and watched Gu Shiyu come down the stairs with a somber expression. She immediately put down her glass and ran enthusiastically towards Gu Yinshen, "Brother, why is Dad looking for Sister Tiantian?"
"It's nothing. Mengmeng, did you drink your juice?" Gu Shiyu avoided the question and tried to divert Mengmeng's attention.
To prevent Ruolan from finding out, Mengmeng should also avoid mentioning Tiantian's name. But Mengmeng is very innocent, and he doesn't want to tell her directly and taint her young heart.
"Brother, Aunt Ping still has some juice left, do you want some?" Mengmeng held up her cup and invited him enthusiastically.
No matter how delicious the juice was, Gu Shiyu wasn't in the mood for it at the moment.
He took the cup from Mengmeng's hand and looked at the food that was almost laid out on the table.
"are you hungry?"
"Yeah, a little bit."
Mengmeng touched her belly, thinking: I just drank juice, so why am I even hungrier?
Aunt Xue placed the last soup on the table and said to them, "The food is ready, you can eat now."
“Mengmeng went up and called her parents, uncle, and aunt Yuan’er down.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Shiyu reached out and pulled her back, preventing her from going upstairs. "Mengmeng, you weren't very hungry just now. Sit down at the dining table first, and I'll go upstairs and call them down."
"But Mengmeng can too?" Mengmeng asked, looking puzzled.
Although she was hungry, she had no problem going upstairs.
Seeing that Gu Shiyu was blocking her way, Mengmeng pouted, feeling a little unhappy.
"Mengmeng? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Aunt Ping asked, puzzled.
Everything was fine a few minutes ago, but now I'm unhappy.
"Aunt Ping, my brother said Mengmeng is hungry, so he won't let her go upstairs to call Mom and Dad to come down for dinner. But Mengmeng has the strength to go upstairs."
