The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Chapter 339 Things Only He Can Hear

Aunt Ping could tell what Old Madam Gu was going to do in the kitchen, so how could she let her enter?

Despite being scolded, she still smiled obsequiously, and as Old Madam Gu approached, she was forced to back away, saying, "Madam, we just cooked in the kitchen, and there's a lot of smoke."

Her mouth was practically dry from talking, and seeing that Old Mrs. Gu was still walking forward, Aunt Ping almost reached out to stop her.

Knowing the reason behind her actions, Aunt Xue's heart pounded with anxiety.

When will the gentleman be back?

He silently chanted to himself, watching as they were about to lose control.

Grandma Gu glanced at the kitchen and said, "Aren't you going to check how the soup is cooking? So much time has passed, won't it boil dry?"

"No, it's simmering on a low flame right now," Aunt Ping replied with a smile.

Little did she know that she was being insincere when she said those words. The soup was already ready; she had even turned off the heat and ladled it out.

Grandma Gu didn't dare to speak harshly to Ruolan easily, because if Gu Yinshen found out, she would be the one to be blamed. But the servants in the house were different; Gu Yinshen wouldn't dare to speak rudely to his own mother for the sake of a servant.

"Won't slow cooking boil dry? Is this how you serve your master at home?"

"what?"

One sentence left Aunt Ping speechless. She had expected Old Madam Gu to scold her, but she hadn't expected her to say something like that.

She hesitated, unsure how to begin.

While Aunt Ping was lost in thought, Grandma Gu slightly shifted her body and strode into the kitchen.

"Grandma Gu!" Aunt Ping called out, but it was too late to stop them.

The moment the kitchen glass door opened, the living room door also opened from the outside.

Gu Yinshen came in looking travel-worn and called out to Old Madam Gu's retreating figure, "Why are you here!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu let go of her hand and turned to look at Gu Yinshen behind her. "Yinshen, why are you back?"

Her tone was concerned and inquiring. She had come today to tell Gu Yinshen about Ji Mengran, not to create a bad relationship with him.

Gu Yinshen walked up to Old Madam Gu in a few steps and said coldly, "I'll have the driver take you home."

"Yin Shen, you've misunderstood. I didn't come here today to cause trouble for Ruo Lan, nor did I say anything I shouldn't have. I came to see you." Old Madam Gu adopted a motherly demeanor and reached out to stroke Gu Yin Shen.

But she forgot that she had done too many things to hurt their relationship, and Gu Yinshen no longer had any feelings for her.

If it weren't for the blood relation, he wouldn't have wanted to say another word to her and would have simply sent someone to kick her out.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Ruolan quickly stood up from the sofa and walked towards them. "Yinshen, what Mom said is true. She was just about to come with me to the company to bring you lunch."

Aunt Xue mentioned this during the phone call.

Gu Yinshen slightly reduced his hostility and reached out to hold Ruolan's hand. "Ruolan, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you!"

Although he was speaking to Ruolan, his real purpose was to warn Old Madam Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu was well aware of Gu Yinshen's unwavering devotion to Ruilan.

Back then, she thought that by supporting Ji Mengran, she could make Ruolan leave Gu Yinshen. From then on, she could still control Gu Yinshen through Ji Mengran. In the end, after all that trouble, not only did she fail to make Ji Mengran replace her, but it also caused the breakdown of their mother-son relationship.

Grandma Gu smiled and reached out to take Ruolan's other hand. "I was wrong before, but now that I see that your relationship hasn't been affected at all, I'm really happy."

"Ha!" Gu Yinshen let out a cold laugh through his nose.

Anyone can say those words, but it absolutely cannot be said by Old Mrs. Gu.

What she did cannot be made up for with a few words of regret.

"Yin Shen!" Ruolan reached out and tugged at Gu Yin Shen's arm, reminding him of his attitude.

Gu Yinshen turned to look at Ruolan, and saw that Old Madam Gu's expression had improved again.

"What do you want to see me about?" Gu Yinshen asked.

Grandma Gu glanced at Ruolan and said, "Let's talk in the study."

"Just say what you have to say here." Gu Yinshen didn't think there was anything he needed to hide from Ruolan.

Grandma Gu's gaze fell on Ruolan again, and she said, "What I have to say is not convenient for Ruolan to hear. I believe that after you hear me out, you will definitely agree with my current approach."

Gu Yinshen's brows, which had just relaxed slightly, furrowed again in an instant.

In his eyes, this statement was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to sow discord between the two of them.

Seeing the two of them at an impasse, Ruolan said, "I'm going to check on the kitchen anyway, you two talk."

Gu Yinshen wanted to reach out and stop Ruolan, but his body told him that Ruolan really couldn't know what Old Madam Gu was about to say.

As Ruolan entered the kitchen, Gu Yinshen warned in a cold voice, "I hope what you're about to say isn't just empty talk!"

"Let's go to the study," Old Mrs. Gu requested again.

Although Ruolan wasn't directly present to hear their conversation, Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping were still there, so the conversation inevitably spread.

Gu Yinshen didn't say anything and turned to walk upstairs.

Upon entering the study, Gu Yinshen said, "Speak, there's no one here anymore."

Grandma Gu first bent down and sat on the sofa, then casually looked up at Gu Yinshen, "Yinshen, you are my son. No matter what I did in the past that displeased you, everything I did was for your own good."

Upon hearing her say such things, Gu Yinshen instantly lost the will to listen further. He looked at Old Madam Gu and questioned, "You asked to go upstairs just to say these things?"

“No,” said Grandma Gu. “I have something more important to tell you.”

"Speak up, stop wasting time. My patience is also limited."

"About Ji Mengran."

Gu Yinshen, who had looked like he was about to leave just a second ago, instantly calmed down the next second.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ji Mengran".

Grandma Gu looked at Gu Yinshen's face. "She was kept in your basement for some time, but she left in the last two days. Did you know about this?"

He only left yesterday, and he only found out last night. She already knows today?

Gu Yinshen looked at the old lady with suspicion and tentatively asked, "Did she come to see you?"

“Yes.” Old Mrs. Gu nodded. “She not only came to me, but also demanded that I give her two million.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yinshen instantly understood the purpose of Old Madam Gu's visit.

"You want me to take care of her for you?" Gu Yinshen asked sarcastically.
