"Momo, are you sure we want to rummage through these things?" Xiao Nan looked at Su Mo in shock as he stood on tiptoe with great effort, holding a small wooden stick and rummaging excitedly in the trash can. His face was full of confusion.

He seemed to be able to smell the sour and rancid smell coming from the garbage dump, which kept lingering in his nose. The disgusting smell made his stomach churn and he almost vomited. His whole body was filled with resistance, but Su Mo seemed to have no feeling about it. His eyes were shining, and he looked at the things he took out from the garbage dump with joy, and excitedly showed off to Xiao Nan.

"Brother, brother, look, there are so many bottles, Momo picked them up." Su Mo turned his head to look for Xiao Nan, but he didn't see him. He looked around in confusion, only to see Xiao Nan bending over under a big tree, his face pale, and retching non-stop.

Su Mo was a little worried about his brother. He carefully put the bottle into his big bag and threw it aside. Then he ran towards Xiao Nan with his short legs, his little face full of worry.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Momo, stand there first, don't move." Su Mo was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Nan's outstretched hand. Xiao Nan seemed to be able to smell the strange smell coming from the little cub, and he felt a sense of resistance in his heart.

"Momo, can we go play something else? Brother will take you to the amusement park and play on the slide, okay?"

Su Mo looked a little hesitant. Although the slide was very fun, Momo also had a slide in that dilapidated park. Usually, after picking up bottles, Su Mo would play there for a while to reward himself.

But looking at the trash can not far away, Su Mo whispered to his brother: "Brother, can you wait a while, until Momo picks up all the bottles here, then we can go play on the slide later." There are so many bottles here, they should be able to sell for a lot of money, but his brother really seems to not want to work, so let Momo do it.

"Brother, wait for Momo here for a while. Momo will be done soon. Momo will take brother to play on the slide in a while. Brother, stay here and don't move."

Xiao Nan raised his eyes and saw the little cub running back to the trash can. He could only helplessly put down his hands that were about to stop it.

I don't know where my uncle got this little cousin from. Why does he like picking up trash so much?

This little brother couldn’t have been dug out from the garbage dump. He’s so excited to see the garbage.

Xiao Nan wanted to go over and help Su Mo, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Whenever he saw the trash can, he had a strong urge to vomit. Helplessly, he could only stay where he was and wait for Su Mo to come back.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed tightly. Who was that person and why was he chatting with Su Mo?

Not far away, an old man in a Tang suit was particularly eye-catching. The old man was of medium build, a little thin, but he was full of vigor. He was holding a black garbage bag in his hand and threw it into the trash can. When he turned to leave, he noticed Su Mo trying to put bottles into his big bag and suddenly stopped.

"Little boy, where are your parents?" The old man looked around and didn't see anyone else. Xiao Nan was in a relatively secluded place, just hidden by the thick trunk of a big tree. He looked at Su Mo wearing expensive clothes and thought that maybe some kid from the neighborhood was playing around and sneaked out to play when his family wasn't paying attention.

Although this area is usually seldom visited by people, he was somewhat worried when he saw the little cub squatting on the ground. For some reason, the moment he saw the cub, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, that is, he couldn't bear to see the little cub in front of him get hurt in the slightest.

Su Mo looked up and saw a grandfather in nice clothes looking at him amiably. Seeing that the old man was holding a wooden stick, he thought he was also out to pick up bottles. After picking up garbage for so long, Su Mo also had experience. Generally, there was a grandfather or grandmother occupying each area of ​​garbage. In the old city, the elderly were familiar with Su Mo and knew that the little cubs had a hard life, so they generally would not embarrass Su Mo.

Su Mo thought that this area was the old man's territory, and he felt a little helpless. He quickly stood up and greeted the old man.

"Grandpa, is this your territory? Momo doesn't know."

Gu Lingtang met the little cub's timid gaze, and somehow his heart suddenly shrank. An indescribable sense of intimacy quietly spread in his heart. This strange feeling made him dazed.

Su Mo looked at his grandfather who was looking at him without saying a word, thinking that he had really angered the old man, and he became more and more uneasy. He lowered his head and lifted the green bag at his feet to the old man's feet.

“Grandpa, here are all the things Momo picked up. Momo will give them back to you.”

Gu Lingtang looked at the pitiful appearance of the little cub and knew that he had misunderstood. He unconsciously reached out his hand to comfort the little cub, but was interrupted by a sharp roar of a child.

"Who are you? Why are you bullying my brother?"

He turned around and saw a little boy of about eleven or twelve rushing towards him like a calf, hugging the cub in his arms and glaring at him angrily.

The bodyguard who was hiding not far away saw the young master getting into a conflict with someone and immediately rushed over.

The leading bodyguard had been following Su Bingzhi. He looked at the old man who remained calm despite being questioned by Xiao Nan, and a sense of familiarity surged in his heart. When he noticed the old man's iconic dark blue Tang suit and the Gu family's unique crest embroidered with golden silk thread, his eyes suddenly widened and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. How could the young master meet this person? You know, even President Su had to respectfully address this old man as "Mr. Gu". Young Master Xiao Nan actually dared to yell at him, how ignorant and fearless!

He hurried forward, clasped his fists and bowed to the old man, saying hello: "Mr. Gu."

"Who are you?" Gu Lingtang had been in a high position for a long time, and he had an aura of majesty that made the bodyguard break out in cold sweats instantly.

"These two are the young masters of the Su family. The young masters are young and ignorant, so I hope Mr. Gu will forgive them."

"Oh! It turns out to be the child of the Su family boy!" Gu Lingtang unconsciously cast his gaze towards the little cub who was held in Xiao Nan's arms and was still a little confused, and his heart unconsciously softened.

He walked around the bodyguards, approached Su Mo, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the little cub's slightly yellow hair, and said kindly: "Your name is Momo, right?"

Su Mo nodded and looked at the old man in front of him curiously.

"Grandpa doesn't want yours. I'm sorry, Momo, but Grandpa scared you just now. To make amends, can Grandpa give you a gift?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a jade pendant from his waist and carefully tied it on Su Mo's thin arm.
