Looking at the worry in Old Madam Shi's eyes, Gu Jinlan finally understood.

"Grandma, you are worried that I will do something to let Aye down because of my child and the child's father, right?"

After she came, Grandma Shi never mentioned what she and Shi Ye said in the study that day.

But there was indeed a subtle change in grandma's attitude towards her.

Old Madam Shi was stunned for a moment and wanted to continue pretending that she knew nothing, but she didn't expect Gu Jinlan to point it out directly.

Gu Jinlan continued, "I didn't want to talk about those shameful things in the past, but since grandma has such concerns, I must make it clear."

"If I'm lucky enough to find my child back, I will make it up to him and keep him by my side."

"But I will never do anything to let Aye down because of that child or that child's father."

"If you are worried that my child will compete with Ranran for the Shi family's assets in the future, we can sign an agreement at that time. I will never let my child touch a single cent of the Shi family."

"But if you can't accept my child, I can take him away from the Shi family."

Madam Shi was shocked. "Lanlan, you... do you mean that the child is more important to you than Aye and Ranran?"

A bitter smile flashed across Gu Jinlan's face. "Grandma, you are also a mother, you should understand my feelings. All three of them are very important in my heart, there is no comparison. If possible, I don't want to make such a choice."

"But when that day comes, if you really want me to make a choice, then I will have to let you down. I'm sorry..."

After saying that, Gu Jinlan lowered his eyes.

She would never abandon her poor child again.

Even though she promised Ranran that she would never leave again.

But Ranran at least has a father and grandmother who love him.

And she was his only child.

The old lady's face was already a little dark, "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Jinlan quickly shook his head, "I didn't."

Madam Shi snorted coldly, "You just praised me for being able to make me happy, but can't you say something nice? Even if it's just a hypocritical response, it's still a question whether the child can be found. Why do you have to be so decisive now?"

Gu Jinlan looked at Old Madam Shi with tenderness and sincerity.

"Grandma, I may say hypocritical words, but I don't want to be hypocritical to you. We don't need that. If I say it in advance, it can also avoid further harm to each other in the future, right?"

"..." Madam Shi opened her mouth dumbly, and spoke for a long time, "You are indeed different from other girls. No wonder Xiaoye likes you so much."

"Have you said these words to Xiaoye?"

Gu Jinlan was about to answer when the old lady said:

"There's no need to tell him that. He already expressed his position in front of me that day. He said he would help you find the child and would treat him as his own."

"You two are of one mind in this matter. I hope you can handle the relationship well when the time comes."

"Okay, I'm tired, you go back."

"Please spend more time with Ranran before you go abroad. He likes you as his mother so much. I hope you won't let him down."

Although the old lady usually likes Gu Jinlan very much, at this time, she is more worried that her family will suffer losses and get hurt.

"Okay, grandma, have a good rest."

Gu Jinlan stood up and left, the smile on his face dimmed as he turned around.

Although she had explained everything to Grandma Shi, she knew that Grandma Shi still had some grudges in her heart.

Grandma Shi started to worry before her child was found.

If I really find it in the future, I don’t know what the situation will be like.

But these are not what she should worry about or be anxious about right now.

What she should do now is to meet the people she should meet in Haicheng and deal with the things she should deal with, so that she can go into the dangerous place without any worries.

If she can't come back safely, everything I talked about with Grandma Shi today will be empty talk.

Old Madam Shi looked at Gu Jinlan's departing back and sighed deeply.

Sister Lan came out from the side.

Madam Shi said helplessly: "You heard it all, right? In her heart, Xiaoye and Ranran are not the first."

Sister Lan comforted her, "Don't worry, old lady. It's the same thing whether the child can be found or not."

Madam Shi sighed again: "I feel sad for Ranran. Ranran doesn't even want her biological mother, but only wants her. But in her heart... Hey! Biological children and non-biological children are different after all."

Gu Jinlan walked out of the Shi family’s old house, got in the car, took out her cell phone and called Qingli.

Soon Qingli answered the phone and asked excitedly: "Lan, are you leaving?"

After Qingli returned to the hotel, he thought about it all night and decided to go steal the medicine with Gu Jinlan.

Gu Jinlan said, "We have to wait until I finish dealing with things here before we set off."

"Okay, then you can take your time. We still have a month to go anyway, so there's plenty of time. Maybe Mo will have developed an antidote before we set out, so we don't have to take the risk."

"We? What do you mean?"

"No... it's meaningless. Didn't we agree that I would wait for you to go back to Country M together? Isn't that us?"

Gu Jinlan didn't have the energy to delve into what Qingli said, so she got straight to business: "Shu Yi, go and help me deal with this."

"Which Shu Yi?"

"That's the woman you saw in the cafe yesterday."

"Oh! Her!" Qingli was very excited. "Oh my god, I've been wanting to deal with her for a long time. Finally you've spoken! What do you think? Cut off her arms or legs? Or dig out her eyes?"

"..."Gu Jinlan shook his head helplessly, regretting a little that he had let Qingli handle it.

But she has been unable to be away recently, and Shi Ye will definitely be keeping an eye on her.

Qingli asked again: "Or something more exciting?"

"That's enough, stop it!" Gu Jinlan said seriously, "Just scare them, no need to shed blood."

Shu Yi turned a deaf ear to her warning. If she didn't do something, Shu Yi would think that she was just talking harshly, and would not only not restrain herself, but would become more aggressive.

"No blood?" Qingli said with a tsk, "That's so boring. Do you need a butcher knife to kill a pig?"

"Do you want to do it? If not, I'll find someone else."

"Go, go, go! But let me be frank. If she gets scared to death, you can't blame me."

Qingli laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Hahahaha... I can already imagine her being scared to death. It's so funny."

"..." Gu Jinlan raised his hand to press his temple, "You better be careful and don't kill him."

"That depends on whether she is ready to play or not."

"I won't tell you anymore."

Gu Jinlan hung up the phone.

She knew that although Qingli spoke in a frivolous way, he was reliable in doing things.

It may be unreliable occasionally, but it is always within controllable range.

Then Gu Jinlan started the car and drove to Time Group to complete the resignation procedures.

Although Shi Ye is the boss, he still has to follow the necessary procedures.

She didn't want Shi Ye to be criticized and give other people in the Shi family an excuse and reason to be dissatisfied with him.

At this time, Guo Yajun was coming to Shi Ye's office with a stack of information about Shu Yi.

"Aye, there are new discoveries."
