Went missing?
Zhuang Nainai was shocked, but she then felt as though she didn’t quite understand what the phrase meant. What did he mean by
went missing
?
She stared at Si Zhengting dazedly.
What do you mean by that?

Si Zhengting pursed his lips, his expression serious. Then, he sighed.
The director says that after Mother Zhuang came here, she had been very quiet, so everyone thought that she was an easy patient to care for and nothing would happen to her. However, one of the residents got a little agitated yesterday and everyone was distracted while trying to take care of her. When things had returned to normal, they realized that Mother Zhuang had disappeared.

Had disappeared?


How did an adult just disappear like that?
Was this a joke?!
Zhuang Nainai whipped her head around and glared at the director.
You…

Before she could say what was on her mind, there was a flurry of footsteps outside. Then, the director pushed the door open and a man walked in.
Zhuang Nainai turned around and saw Gu Deshou standing outside the door. His expression was anxious and he looked like he was about to speak, but he was taken aback when he saw them.
Why are you both here?

Why were they there?! She wanted to ask Gu Deshou the same question — why was he here?!
At this point, she recalled that the director had said that her mother had gone missing only yesterday. So the fact that Gu Deshou was here…
Zhuang Nainai knitted her brows together furiously, as though she was a porcupine whose quills had leaped to attention. She glared at Gu Deshou as she asked,
Gu Deshou, where have you hidden my mother?!

After she shouted at him, she rushed toward him and grabbed his collar.
Tell me, where have you hidden her? Wasn’t your plan to detain my mother so that I would do your bidding? Let me tell you, if you don’t let me know where my mother is immediately, I will not let you use me again! Say it, where have you hidden her?

As she hadn’t been feeling very good the past couple of days, Zhuang Nainai’s emotions were on the verge of breaking down.


She had traveled all this way to look for her mother, but where was she?
Gu Deshou grabbed her arm, then replied,
Qingyan, don’t be like this, I don’t know where your mother is!


Why wouldn’t you know where she is? Gu Deshou, I shouldn’t have trusted you!
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes turned red, and she glared at Gu Deshou, her eyes wide. Her gaze was so piercing and angry that it seemed as though it was going to pierce a hole through him.
Before you came into the picture, Mother and I were getting along well. But now?! I’d rather not have a father than live as I have!

As she ranted, the area surrounding her eyes grew warmer.
Gu Deshou was a bit dazed by her words. She’d rather not have a father? Was that what she thought too? Which was why she let Zhuang Nainai go through the same experience?
Gu Deshou suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his gaze grew darker.
Zhuang Nainai, on the other hand, felt as though she had been put in an ice house, and she couldn’t get warm no matter how much she tried.
Both she and her mother had only wanted to lead a normal life. Why was that so difficult to achieve?
She tried hard to suppress the overwhelming emotions that she was feeling, to calm down so that she could speak civilly with Gu Deshou and ask him to release his hold over her mother. However, the violent emotions refused to be quelled.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her. She had been feeling lethargic and emotionally tired. The slightest emotion she felt would be blown out of proportion.


She took in a deep breath. At this point, someone suddenly caught hold of her wrist. The warmth of that person’s palm coursed through her body.
She turned around and saw that Si Zhengting was standing by her side. The aura he was exuding, that everything was under control, helped her to calm down.
