Seeing that Gu Lanshi did not react, Cai Buqu asked, âWhy are you here today?â
Gu Lanshi restrained his emotions. âI wasnât busy, so I brought my daughter out to shop. I happened to pass by here and stopped for a while.â
It was the same rhetoric.
Who would believe that? However, neither of them undermined the other. They chatted like theyâre playing tai chi, chatting about nothing of importance. Cai Buqu lost his patience and waved his hand. âI still have something on. See you another day.â
Gu Lanshi stopped him. âOld Master Caiâ¦â
Cai Buqu turned around and said, âActually, I shouldnât have called you down for a chat out of curiosity. I should have gone straight back after the last game of chess.â
Gu Lanshi smiled and asked irrelevantly, âWhy didnât Old Master Cai mention about the recent matters?â
At this point, Cai Buqu began to pretend to be confused. âRecent? Whatâs recent? I donât have a computer, and I use an old phone, so I donât know whatâs been on the news recently. Thereâs nothing major in the newspapers.â
Gu Lanshiâs thin lips parted. âLi You is back.â As Gu Lanshi had expected, Cai Buqu did not look surprised when he heard this. Gu Lanshi asked, âArenât you surprised?â
Cai Buqu straightened up. âI was waiting for you to mention this just now, but you never mentioned it. Now youâre mentioning it. Tell me, whatâs your motive for coming here today?â
Gu Lanshi smiled calmly. âEven if I repeat myself, I have no motive. You wonât believe me.â
Cai Buqu said unhurriedly, âBecause Mr. Guâs credibility is worrying.â Gu Lanshi was not angry at these words. âIâll correct it.â
Cai Buquâs face darkened and he waved his hand. âBe my guest.â
Gu Lanshi hugged Youyou and stood still. âI asked Li You over today.â
Cai Buqu raised his eyebrows. âItâs been two hours. Missy didnât come. She wonât come even if it was any later.â
Gu Lanshiâs eyes darkened. âDo you think so too?â
Cai Buqu said slowly, âMissy has a happy family now. Sheâs doing well. I know sheâs doing well and Iâm happy, so I didnât disturb her. If she wants to come back one day, Iâll open the door to welcome her return immediately, but I hope you wonât disturb our Missyâs current life.â
Cai Buqu had been paying attention to Li Xiwuâs identity being exposed online recently. Of course, it was not only recently. Ever since Li Xiwu came to the Li Mansion, Cai Buqu had been secretly paying attention to her.
Actually, he knew it in his heart. Ever since they met at the Li Mansion that day, he had already confirmed that Li Xiwu was Missy. She was still alive and well. She had just changed her lifestyle and couldnât remember the past.
Cai Buqu recalled that because he was eager some time ago, he believed Gu Lanshiâs words. He even became an accomplice and almost helped Missy recover her memories.
Actually, to Missy, remembering the past was no longer that important.
What was important was her current life. It was quite good that the Pei family had created a brand new life for her. He thought that it would always be like this and that he would not disturb her. However, when she saw Missyâs last statement in the live-stream, she seemed to remember everything.
Therefore, in Cai Buquâs opinion, Gu Lanshi was probably here to bewitch him again today. Even if he avoided it this time, he might not be able to avoid it next time. He might as well take the initiative to make his stand clear.
Gu Lanshi was very calm from the beginning to the end. âI know that if she regains her memories, it will only hurt to remember what happened in the past. Sheâs in a good state now. Donât worry, Old Master Cai. I wonât disturb her current life again.â
Cai Buqu did not know if he believed Gu Lanshiâs words. He only smiled and raised his hand. âSince youâve said so, go ahead.â Gu Lanshi nodded. âGoodbye.â
Cai Buqu nodded and watched Gu Lanshi leave.
Youyou leaned on Gu Lanshiâs shoulder and waved goodbye to Cai Buqu. âGoodbye, Grandpa
Cai Beuqu raised his hand and waved with a smile. âGoodbye, kid.â
This little girl was very cute. She had always been very obedient in Gu Lanshiâs arms. Although Gu Lanshi said that she was his daughter, Cai Buqu was not stupid. Naturally, he would not believe such casual words.
Missy had been missing for so many years and no one knew if she was dead or alive. With Gu Lanshiâs feelings for Missy, he probably wouldnât be sad while having fun.
As for whose child that little girl was, Cai Buqu was no longer curious. He was about to turn around and go back when he suddenly saw the little girl take off her mask and say something happily. It was too far away for Cai Buqu to hear clearly.
But he could see the little girlâs face clearly.
âWait a minute!â Cai Buqu shouted.
Gu Lanshi, who was leaving with Youyou in his arms, heard this voice, he stood rooted to the ground. He turned around and saw Old Master Cai running towards him.
Gu Lanshi said, âYouyou, put on your mask.â
Youyou pouted unhappily. âBut Brother just said that I can take off my mask.â
Gu Lanshi looked at Old Master Cai and then at Youyou with doting eyes. âAlright, you donât have to wear it then.â
At this moment, Cai Buqu had already run over. He was panting heavily. When he saw the little girlâs appearance up close, he was stunned, and then right on the heels was disbelief. He pointed at Youyou, his trembling lips opening and closing, unable to say a complete word for a long time.
Gu Lanshi asked, âIs there anything else, Old Master Cai?â
Cai Buquâs gaze returned to Gu Lanshi and he asked in a trembling voice, âWho, who is she?â
Gu Lanshi still replied calmly, âMy daughter.â
Cai Buquâs voice sank. âThatâs impossible!!â
Gu Lanshi asked, âWhy does Old Master Cai think that sheâs not my daughter?â
Cai Buqu pointed at Youyou with trembling hands and said, âI watched Missy grow up. She, sheâ¦â
Gu Lanshi was puzzled. âSo?â
Cai Buqu took a deep breath to calm himself down. His tone was no longer as excited as before. âMr. Gu, letâs talk.â
Gu Lanshi smiled apologetically. âIâm sorry, Mr. Cai. I have to take Youyou back.â
âYouyouâ¦â Mr. Cai repeated the name. âSo itâs a homophoneâ¦â
Cai Buqu was still unwilling to believe this fact, but this fact was in front of him. He also knew that Gu Lanshi must have deliberately let him see Youyouâs appearance.
Cai Buqu looked at Youyou lovingly. âHow old are you?â
Youyou showed her teeth and smiled. âYouyou is four years old.â
Cai Buqu was stunned again. âFour years oldâ¦â
Missy had been missing for four years. Cai Buqu thought of something and suddenly asked Gu Lanshi, âIs Youyou your and Missyâs child?â
Gu Lanshi neither admitted nor denied it. He just looked at Cai Buqu quietly. In Cai Buquâs opinion, this reaction was silent agreement. This little girl looked so similar to Missy when she was young. She was also brought up by Gu Lanshi.. There was a high chance that she was Missyâs childâ¦
