Ningning is Not a Trouble-Maker!

Chapter 12

In the Gu residence, Gu Bensheng and Old Master Gu were sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. Their hair was messy and they exuded a dispirited aura. The previously luxurious villa was in a mess now. All the valuable things had been moved away.

Gu Bensheng’s face was covered in stubble and he looked haggard. Old Madam Gu, who was at the side, cried and complained, “Son, how dare you borrow from so many loan sharks? What should we do? Boohoo…” The day Gu Bensheng was beaten and hospitalized, the Gu family went bankrupt. All their real estate was sealed by the bank, including this villa. How could they live?

Old Master Gu scolded angrily: “Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! If you had known it would end up like this, why didn’t you treat Gu Ning better in the past?”

Old Madam Gu cried while retorting: “All you do is scold me, but what about you? You’re Gu Ning’s grandfather, and I’ve never seen you treat her well!”

Gu Bensheng was irritated by the noise. He shouted, “Alright, shut up!” He was already annoyed enough! The company went bankrupt overnight and the court intervened in the investigation. He might face jail time. He would be in jail for the rest of his life. Why were these people still arguing!

Both the old man and the old lady shut their mouths. The two of them were immensely regretful. If they treated Gu Ning better in the past, how would they fall to this point? They might’ve been able to borrow the power of the Su family and soar to the top!

At the thought of Gu Ning, the old lady of the Gu family gritted her teeth. “That brat Gu Ning, after getting the backing of the Su family, she doesn’t want to come home, right?” Ungrateful ingrate, they were her grandparents! Even if they made mistakes in the past, she should be understanding. Besides, they didn’t do anything wrong, it was Gu Ning who pushed Mu Yu down the stairs first, making Mu Yu suffer a miscarriage. At such a young age, she was already able to commit such heinous acts, were they wrong to punish her?

At this time, Mu Yu walked downstairs and said in a gentle voice, “Mom, Dad, Honey, don’t worry. Ningning will definitely come back…” She held a doll in her hand, which was Ningning’s kitten doll. “Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Ningning left her doll at home. She’ll come back for it.”

Other people didn’t know how important this kitten doll was to her, but Mu Yu knew that it was the only thing her short-lived mother had left for her. That brat held it in her arms every day and didn’t let it go even when she was receiving hard beatings. Mu Yu still remembered that no matter how hard she hit her, she wouldn’t cry. Later, she got angry and took the kitten doll and cut off its ear, and Gu Ning immediately began crying.

Gu Bensheng looked at the tattered doll in Mu Yu’s hand and asked with a frown, “Are you sure she’ll come back?” He didn’t quite believe it. What was there to miss about a tattered doll?

Mu Yu smiled gently. “Hubby, you usually don’t have time to accompany Ningning. Of course you wouldn’t know that she likes this kitten doll. Her mother left it for her. Ningning treasures it very much and won’t let it leave her side for a moment.”

Old Madam Gu thought for a second. That truly seemed to be the case, that brat Gu Ning hugged the doll everyday. She didn’t even leave it when going to the bathroom. Thinking of this, she said with anticipation: “Great, I hope she can come back!” As long as she comes back, they would be able to turn the tables. A three year old child, all they needed was a little coaxing.

Mu Yu lowered her eyes to hide her excitement. She was very sure that Gu Ning would come back. Besides the kitten doll, she also had a very important “friend” here, a parrot. Nobody knew which family had lost the parrot, but Gu Ning arranged for it to stay in the woods behind the Gu family’s villa. Normally, no one could get close to the parrot, and the parrot would only appear when she went there. This was also why Mu Yu was so sure Gu Ning would definitely come back. Someone else could come get the kitten doll, but onlly Gu Ning could bring the parrot away.

Mu Yu leaned on Gu Bensheng’s shoulder and said gently, “I just sewed up the broken parts of the doll and washed it. Ningning will definitely be happy when she comes back and sees it.”

Gu Bensheng hugged Mu Yu happily. “Thank you for your hard work. You’re so kind. I’ll make it up to you when our company makes a comeback.”

Mu Yu leaned into Gu Bensheng’s arms and said fakely, “I don’t want any compensation. I just want to share your burden, Hubby.”
