Zhu Shuo and Zhu Ran had another quarrel.

"Sister! Can you please stop being so childish? He is a human being, not a cat or a dog. I have already dragged you down like this, why do you want to create another burden for yourself?" Zhu Shuo yelled.

"Because he is not just any cat or dog, since I brought him back, I have to be responsible for him."

"Xiao Shuo, you are not a burden to me. I have never felt that taking care of you is a burden. The same is true for A Sheng."

"I have already contacted the welfare home to handle the formalities..."

Ah Sheng could no longer listen to the rest of the conversation and just turned the corner and ran out in a daze. He tripped at the threshold and fell, his knees bleeding profusely, but he still limped away from this temporary home.

Tears were already flowing non-stop, Ah Sheng bit his lower lip tightly, trying to suppress the sobs that were about to burst out, but the sobs still leaked out from between his lips and teeth.

Ah Sheng bumped into a passerby, who helped Ah Sheng up.

"Kid, are you okay? Where are your parents? Are you lost? You are still injured. Can your uncle take you to the pharmacy to get bandaged?"

Ah Sheng pushed away the passers-by and continued to run. When he ran to the back, he could no longer hold back his crying and cried out of breath.

Liars are all liars.

In the end, I was abandoned again.

If that's the case, don't reach out to yourself with overflowing love from the beginning.

Zhu Ran heard some noise at the door, turned around and saw the door was wide open. He realized something was wrong, and thought Ah Sheng might have misunderstood what he heard.

Zhu Ran stepped into the room, searched for the things he needed and stuffed them into his pockets, then hurried out to look for Ah Sheng. Seeing this, Zhu Shuo also hurried out.

The two searched and shouted all the way, but there was no sign of Ah Sheng.

It was not until the sun went down and the moonlight became dim that Zhu Ran anxiously took out his cell phone to call the police. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered that there was a place he had not yet searched.

Zhu Ran immediately ran towards that place and found Ah Sheng on the bridge pier, looking down at the bridge.

This time, Zhu Ran was not as relaxed as when they first met, nor did he go up to tease her like he did then. Instead, he approached her with trepidation.

When Ah Sheng saw Zhu Ran out of the corner of his eye, his tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

"Are you going to trick me into going down again? And then send me to an orphanage."

"How are you different from them?"

"Overexposure to love is hypocrisy. Do you think it's fun to treat me like a cat or dog to be abandoned at will?" Ah Sheng cried.

Zhu Ran calmed down the worry and fear in his heart and moved cautiously towards Ah Sheng.

"Ah Sheng, you misunderstood. I'm not going to send you to an orphanage. After spending so much time with you, I've already treated you like my second brother."

"Although Ah Shuo has a bad temper and likes to get angry at you, he has a soft heart and doesn't really hate you."

"He actually likes you very much. The exercise books I gave you last time were all given to me by him." Zhu Ran said.

"Liar, I clearly heard you. You told him that you had contacted the welfare home to handle the formalities and you would send me back soon." Ah Sheng cried.

Zhu Ran reacted and hurriedly took out the crumpled document from his pocket and unfolded it in a panic.

"Ah Sheng, please read carefully. This is an adoption procedure. I contacted your original orphanage to formally adopt you, not to send you back."

Zhu Ran took out a booklet.

"And this, do you recognize it? This household registration booklet, the first page is me, and the second page is Ah Shuo."

"Ah Sheng, come down. We will take the adoption documents and fill in your name on the third page of the household registration book tomorrow."

"This way you can go to school like Ah Shuo, make lots of new friends, learn a lot of knowledge, and become a great person."

"A Sheng, from now on you will have the same surname as your sister, Zhu Sheng, okay?" Zhu Ran said with red eyes.

Zhu Sheng finally threw himself into Zhu Ran's arms, tilted his neck back and cried out like a normal child, his hands around Zhu Ran's waist tightening continuously.

"Be gentle, it's squeezing my waist." Zhu Ran said helplessly.

Zhu Ran's eyes were also red and wet. He touched Zhu Sheng's head, and then touched the head of Zhu Shuo who walked forward.

"A Sheng, I was wrong. I will never say anything like chasing you away again." Zhu Shuo cried.

"Look at you two, each one of you is crying like a harlequin cat," Zhu Ran teased.

Three years later, Zhu Sheng and Zhu Shuo blocked Tao Ci, who came to pick up the bride, at the door, both with unhappy expressions.

After some hesitation, she finally opened the door reluctantly. Zhu Ran, wearing a wedding dress, was led out of the room, her heart and eyes full of the groom who came to marry her.

A year later, Zhu Shuo and Zhu Sheng looked at Tao Li, who was breathing heavily in the cradle, with curiosity on their faces, and they poked Tao Li's soft cheeks one after another.

In the same year, 13-year-old Zhu Sheng was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania and was widely publicized in newspapers as a child prodigy.

After much deliberation, Zhu Sheng considered giving up going abroad.

"Our Ah Sheng is so smart, but he wants to become a big shot. How can he cry for his sister every day?" Zhu Ran coaxed helplessly.

At the age of 15, Zhu Sheng received an invitation letter from Mr. Gu and became Mr. Gu’s youngest student.

Zhu Sheng couldn't wait to write back to share with Zhu Ran and Zhu Shuo, and told them that he would need closed training for a few years and might not be able to go home for several years.

“See? This is a genius who came out of my exercise book. Smoke is coming out of our Zhu family’s ancestral grave. Let’s put my exercise book up for worship.” Zhu Shuo said with a smile.

At the age of 22, Zhu Sheng received a family photo that had traveled across the ocean. In the photo, Tao Sheng and the little adult Tao Li were standing on both sides. Zhu Ran, who was sitting on a chair, was holding a chubby child in his arms, with happiness in his eyes.

It was also in this year that Zhu Sheng officially made up his mind and agreed to the request of Mr. Gu, who had experienced the pain of losing his son. He was willing to worship him as his godfather, change his name to Gu Sheng, and be trained as the heir of the Gu family.

At the request of Mr. Gu, Zhu Sheng severed all ties with the country and no longer had any contact with Zhu Ran and Zhu Shuo, brother and sister, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Gu family's foundation.

At the age of 25, Zhu Sheng, relying on his own abilities and Mr. Gu's instructions, has almost penetrated into all the "industrial chains" involved in the Gu family. He holds the lifeline of the word "finance" in the world and numbly shuttles among the upper echelons of politics and business.

Zhu Sheng became the mysterious "Mr. Gu" who was known to everyone but unknown to no one.

I finally became the big shot in my sister's eyes.

At the age of 27, Zhu Shuo somehow found Zhu Sheng’s contact information and told him the bad news.

Zhu Sheng ignored Mr. Gu's obstruction, abandoned everything in the Gu family, returned to China in a daze, staggered into Zhu Ran's mourning hall, and then knelt in front of the hall and burst into tears.

No one recognized the stranger who suddenly broke in, and they could only sigh at his embarrassment.

Zhu Shuo recognized him, but was unwilling to pay any attention to this man who had forgotten his roots in pursuit of fame and fortune after going abroad.

He was ungrateful and abandoned me and my sister. If my sister had not been thinking about me, her brother who had been missing for so many years before she died, I would not have gone to such great lengths and used all my connections to contact him.

Taoci had lost all his sanity. He just sat slumped in front of his wife's mourning hall, hugging the portrait without saying a word.

The entire funeral scene was supported by Tao Li. Tao Li acted like an adult and greeted the guests calmly and politely, as if the person lying in the coffin was not his own mother.

"Sister, Ah Sheng is back home. Ah Sheng has become the big shot you mentioned."

"Sister, look at me, do you still recognize me?"

"Ah Sheng was wrong. Ah Sheng shouldn't have gone abroad. He shouldn't have abandoned you to become the so-called heir."

"It is I who am ungrateful and greedy for power and wealth."

"I came back late. I won't leave again, okay?"

"Sister, can you please take care of me?"

"Asheng is no longer a big shot. I don't want anything anymore."

"A Sheng is back home, please pay attention to me."

"elder sister."

Little Tao Zhi blinked his eyes and looked at the crying adult in front of him. There were a lot of people crying today, but no one cried as miserably as this uncle.

Tao Zhi jumped over on his short legs and patted Zhu Sheng on the shoulder. He curiously put his head closer and looked at the uncle in front of him who was crying and snotting. He couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle, you've cried like a harlequin cat." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Zhu Sheng raised his head, the pain in his eyes surged, his heart was torn with pain, and with his blurred vision he saw the child in front of him smiling brightly.

When he saw the child's familiar features, Zhu Sheng's heart trembled.

"You are my sister's child." Zhu Sheng choked.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi tilted his head and thought about Zhu Sheng's words, then shook his head.

"Uncle, you are wrong. I am not your sister's child. I am my mother's child."

"My mother's name is Zhu Ran, and my name is Taozi." Tao Zhi said in a baby voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sheng hugged Tao Zhi into his arms and cried bitterly, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Ah, why are all the adults today so fond of crying? Tao Zhi was helpless.

When Zhu Sheng controlled his emotions, he placed his trembling hand on Tao Zhi's furry head, but his tears were still dripping.

"Little Peach, your mother grew up with me."

"Can I grow up with you in the future?" Zhu Sheng said.
