Chapter 333 Understanding of the Gu Residence
Chapter 333 Understanding of the Gu Residence
The bell rang in the sky, pulling Teacher Moon back to reality.
"Class is starting, time to go back to the classroom!" Tangtang called out.
Seeing the anxiety on Mengmeng's face and the nonchalant look on Tiantian's face, Gu Yinshen said, "Daddy will take you to the classroom."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gu. I need to go to the administration office, so I can't take them to the classroom." Teacher Yue picked up the books next to the table.
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway," Gu Yinshen said, and then led them forward.
Tangtang held Mengmeng's hand the whole time, so the two of them walked ahead with their shoulders touching intimately.
Sweetie couldn't fit in and walked alone at the back.
"Sweetie." Gu Yinshen called out Sweetie's name.
Her body tensed instantly, and Tian Tian turned around to look at Gu Yinshen, who had walked from behind to her side.
Mengmeng, who was in front, also heard Gu Yinshen's call. She turned her head slightly and noticed the strange atmosphere between them.
Is Dad going to ask Sweetie about the basement?
"Mengmeng? What are you thinking about?" Tangtang asked curiously as Mengmeng's body tilted as she walked.
Pulling her wandering thoughts back, Mengmeng shook her head, "It's nothing."
"I thought you were thinking about something upsetting," Tangtang muttered.
Seeing that Tangtang's gaze was once again fixed on the road ahead, Mengmeng carefully tilted her body and looked back again.
"You've been back at the Gu family for so long, are you getting used to everything?" Gu Yinshen asked.
Habit?
After carefully calculating, it had been quite a while since she returned to the Gu family, and Tian Tian really didn't understand why Gu Yinshen would suddenly ask her such a question at this time.
How should she answer?
Sweetie looked up at Gu Yinshen and said, "It's alright."
"Are you familiar with the Gu residence?" Gu Yinshen then asked.
"Yes, I'm familiar with them all," Sweetie replied truthfully.
"Are you familiar with every part of the Gu residence?" Gu Yinshen asked again.
Didn't she already reply?
Sweetie really didn't understand why Gu Yinshen kept asking her the same question over and over again.
Is it...
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Tian Tian nervously observed Gu Yinshen's expression.
That shouldn't be the case. They've been focusing on her ever since they got home yesterday; there's no way they could have discovered it so quickly.
Worried that panic would reveal her disarray, Tian Tian took a deep breath and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Dad, I'm very familiar with the house now."
"Did you know there's a basement below the first floor?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Tian's steps came to an instant halt.
Gu Yinshen turned around and looked at her, who had stumbled half a step behind, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Beads of cold sweat dripped down her face. Sweetie clenched her fists, too nervous to open her mouth.
"That question you just asked, was it difficult for you to answer?" Gu Yinshen took a step forward, bent down, and pressed her for an answer.
Sweetie shook her head, "No, no."
"I thought you'd been to the basement," Gu Yinshen said casually.
A seemingly casual remark nearly cost Sweetie her life. She kept swallowing, repeating, "No, no."
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. But don't go over there unnecessarily, and definitely don't even think about opening the door." Gu Yinshen said, his eyes fixed on Tian Tian's face.
Sweat poured down her forehead like rain, soaking the stray hairs on her forehead and clinging to her skin.
Tangtang glanced back unintentionally and saw the sweat on Tiantian's face. She quickly shook Mengmeng's arm and asked, "Mengmeng, are you hot?"
"It's not hot," Mengmeng replied.
The sun had just risen and had not yet fully radiated its light.
Tangtang muttered, "I'm not hot either, so why did she suddenly leave so much sweat?"
Following Tangtang's gaze, Mengmeng saw Tiantian standing with Gu Yinshen.
So she was referring to herself.
I haven't observed their conversation for a short while, why is Sister Tiantian sweating so much? Has Dad already questioned her about the basement?
Mengmeng shifted her gaze to Gu Yinshen and found that his expression was the same as before, without any obvious change.
"Sweetie, are you hot?" Gu Yinshen asked.
She raised her hand to wipe her forehead, and looking at the damp side of her palm, Tian Tian quickly made a fanning motion with her hand, "Hmm, a little, I'm sweating from the heat."
If Gu Yinshen didn't know, he would definitely be fooled by Tian Tian's acting skills, but now he knows very well why she suddenly sweated so much.
"Hurry up and go to the classroom, or the teacher will be worried when you don't come back." After Gu Yinshen finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on Tian Tian's expression without wavering.
Her chest heaved as she took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully. The oppressive tension she had felt moments before vanished instantly.
Gu Yinshen's purpose today was merely to test the waters. He checked the home security cameras this morning, only to discover that they had been broken for ten days. During this time, none of them had noticed.
With all these events combined, Gu Yinshen realized that Tian Tian was not as simple as she seemed.
"Goodbye, Dad. I'm going back to the classroom now." After saying that, Tian Tian ran off without looking back.
Tangtang turned around and greeted Gu Yinshen, then tried to pull Mengmeng along to run forward.
But she pulled, and before she could take a step forward, she was pulled back.
"Mengmeng?"
"Tangtang, you go back to the classroom first. I still have something I want to say to my dad."
"Ok."
After Tangtang left, Gu Yinshen looked at Mengmeng curiously and asked, "Mengmeng, is there anything you want to say to Daddy alone?"
"It's...it's about Sister Sweetie." Mengmeng hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
Gu Yinshen observed Mengmeng's expression and understood why Gu Shiyu knew that Tiantian had let Ji Mengran go from the basement. It seemed that Mengmeng was the first to know.
"Mengmeng, Dad will handle this matter," Gu Yinshen said.
"Dad?" Mengmeng's eyes lit up. "You knew all along?"
"Yes, Dad knows it was you who told Shi Yu last night."
"Dad, do you think Mengmeng is naughty, deliberately tattling so that you won't like Sister Tiantian?"
Gu Yinshen was surprised that Mengmeng thought that way. He reached out and rubbed her cheek, saying, "How could we think that way? Actually, we all know that Mengmeng told us because she was afraid we would run into trouble, so she told us to take precautions in advance."
Mengmeng's big, round eyes are now even brighter.
Dad knows everything!
With Gu Yinshen's words, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
