When Gu Qinghuan brought Murong Tianjiao back to the Sichuan restaurant, he looked at the door to make sure that Murong Xue had left before returning to his seat with Murong Tianjiao.

Seeing the neatly stacked take-out boxes on the table, Gu Qinghuan touched the back of his head and said, "Senior Bai, you have packed everything."

Bai Hanshan nodded: "You definitely won't watch a table of food go to waste, right?"

"Of course, the dish didn't offend anyone." Gu Qinghuan picked out the roast duck from the takeaway box, "Tianjiao, do you want to take the roast duck home? I see you like it very much."

Among all the dishes on the table, Murong Tianjiao indeed picked the roast duck the most.

Murong Tianjiao nodded slightly, without any hesitation, and quietly took the box of steaming roast duck.

"Senior Bai, do you want to take one?" Gu Qinghuan asked again.

Bai Hanshan ate each dish about the same number of times, and Gu Qinghuan didn't know which one he liked better.

"I don't need it." Bai Hanshan said, and then looked at Murong Tianjiao, "Are you okay now?"

Murong Tianjiao whispered: "I have adjusted myself. Since she is not a qualified mother, there is no need for me to seek love from her anymore."

"It's great that you think so," Bai Hanshan nodded slightly, "So, do you want to know more about the person your mother cares about?"

Murong Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then realized something and turned abruptly to look at Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan clasped his hands together and bowed his head to apologize to her: "I'm very sorry, because I have some guesses, so I asked Senior Bai to check your mother's situation."

"I originally wanted to wait a while and find a suitable time for you to discover it yourself, but I didn't expect your mother to do this today."

Although Bai Hanshan had not discussed this with Gu Qinghuan, Gu Qinghuan could understand it.

Now is indeed a good time to speak out. Murong Tianjiao's evaluation of Murong Xue is currently the lowest, so after knowing the truth, his emotions will be the calmest.

Simply put, Murong Xue is like this now, even if she does something weird, she can't hurt Murong Tianjiao.

However, he investigated her mother without Murong Tianjiao's permission. Even if it was for her good, it was still rude and he still had to apologize.

"It's okay." Murong Tianjiao shook his head and held Gu Qinghuan's hand.

She said seriously: "Because I know, monitor, you are really doing this for my own good."

Murong Tianjiao could imagine why Gu Qinghuan did not ask Jiang Chuchu and Yu Xin, who she was more familiar with, or Bao Qingsong, because she wanted to protect Murong Tianjiao's privacy in front of people she was familiar with.

Everyone is a good person and will definitely help Murong Tianjiao, but she is not an extrovert.

She would feel embarrassed and ashamed if too many people, even good friends, knew about her shameful family affairs.

Her monitor tried her best to protect her, but her mother would just hurt her without a care.

Gu Qinghuan let out a long sigh: "It would be great if you could forgive me. So, are you willing to listen to what happened to the other girl?"

Murong Tianjiao nodded and stood up again: "Let's go talk somewhere else. The lunch time in this restaurant is almost over. Besides, I want to find a place where there are not many people to talk."

Gu Qinghuan immediately said: "Then I know there is a small shop here, with few people and a good environment. I will take you there!"

She took Murong Tianjiao and Bai Hanshan with her, walked out of the mall and wandered around the nearby streets, finally stopping in front of a small shop in the alley.

This is a bookstore with a small storefront and a very quiet environment. A small flower bed is separated by a fence at the door, with a few clumps of Zephyranthes planted in it. There are not many flowers at the moment, but the leaves are bright green.

After entering the bookstore, the orange cat lying in the nest on the counter opened its eyes, looked at a few people, closed its eyes again, and continued to sleep soundly.

The young man behind the counter stood up and subconsciously wanted to say "welcome". Just after uttering one syllable, he saw Gu Qinghuan's face clearly and smiled and said, "Little Gu, long time no see."

"Is there anyone back there?" Gu Qinghuan pointed towards the back of the bookstore.

The young man shook his head: "No one is there. If you want to use it, just go over there. By the way, we have shaved ice now, but there are only two kinds: strawberry shaved ice and chocolate shaved ice."

"Tianjiao, Senior Bai, would you like to eat some?" Gu Qinghuan gestured, "The bowl of her shaved ice is the size of a normal rice bowl, and it tastes great."

"Then I want the chocolate one." Gu Qinghuan said it tasted great, so of course Murong Tianjiao wanted to try it.

Bai Hanshan remained calm: "I want strawberry."

Although he had just finished a serving of ice jelly, it would not be a big problem to have another bowl of shaved ice.

"I want chocolate too." Gu Qinghuan turned and looked at the young man.

The young man responded, "Two chocolates and one strawberry. You guys go to the back, and after I deliver the shaved ice, I'll put up a 'Do Not Disturb' sign for you."

Gu Qinghuan pulled Murong Tianjiao and walked towards the back of the bookstore, passing the bookshelves that exuded a faint scent of camphor.

There is a different world behind the bookstore, a glass house with a few rocking chairs and a small table.

The roof of the glass house is covered with ivy, so it is not very hot.

However, Gu Qinghuan quickly turned on the cabinet air conditioner in the glass room, and then lay down on a rocking chair: "Comfortable!"

Murong Tianjiao looked up at the green scenery and the bright sunshine. He felt the cool air from the air conditioner and felt his mood gradually relax.

She imitated Gu Qinghuan, sat down on the rocking chair, and smiled slowly: "It is indeed very comfortable."

Bai Hanshan is already considering whether to add a few rocking chairs to the company.

The three of them enjoyed the tranquility of the city for a while. After the young man finished serving the shaved ice and closed the door of the glass room, Bai Hanshan held his bowl of strawberry shaved ice and ate while saying, "Are you ready to listen?"

Murong Tianjiao stared at the chocolate shaved ice in his hand, scooped a large spoonful with a spoon, put it into his mouth, squinted his eyes because of the cold, and then exhaled a breath of cool air: "Please tell me."

Bai Hanshan told her about Murong Xue's sponsorship of students and also gave a brief introduction to the basic information of several students.

Although there was no emotional inclination in Bai Hanshan's narration, only Wang Ying's name was changed.

Murong Tianjiao immediately realized that Wang Ying was probably the "daughter" that Murong Xue was satisfied with.

"No wonder," Murong Tianjiao spoke slowly, "That girl, it really meets her needs."

Bai Hanshan was very satisfied with her statement. The word "meeting the needs" was very suitable for Murong Xue.

He asked slowly, "Will you hate Wang Ying?"

Murong Tianjiao thought for a while and said calmly: "If I say I'm not envious at all, that would be a lie."

She seldom received maternal love, but Wang Ying was able to receive so much. How could she not be envious?

"But that was my mother's choice. Wang Ying is just repaying her sponsor with her performance."

The person who failed to be a good mother was Murong Xue. To Wang Ying, Murong Xue was a very good sponsor, so it was natural for her to respect and love her.

Murong Tianjiao didn't think that Wang Ying would take the initiative to seize the identity of her daughter. After all, Murong Xue would never mention her "unexpected" daughter to others.

It is very likely that Wang Ying does not know her situation, so what reason does she have to hate Wang Ying?

She and Wang Ying were no match for each other, and she didn't want to beg for Murong Xue's motherly love anymore.

Rather, after hearing about Wang Ying's situation, Murong Tianjiao felt relieved - it turned out that Murong Xue wanted such a "daughter".

Well, she really couldn't do it.

It was like the dust had settled and she could finally give up.
