In the vicinity, the Jiang family had also arrived. After a bout of tears and lamentations, they took Jiang Nuan away.

Grandma Gao and Grandpa Gao had also come. Upon seeing her grandson, Grandma Gao was overcome with emotion, laughing and crying simultaneously. “Heaven be praised, my precious grandson has returned. You rascal, why haven’t you taken your son home yet? I’ve never seen such irresponsible parents!”

Grandma Gao’s tone was tinged with reproach. Her son, Gao Lang, had returned, but her daughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen. Didn’t she hold even a sliver of affection for Gao Ming in her heart?

The more Grandma Gao thought about it, the angrier she became. She gave her son a hard smack on the back. It was then that everyone noticed a slender, refined-looking man standing next to Grandma Gao and Grandpa Gao.

This man bore a striking resemblance to Gao Ming. To be precise, Gao Ming looked like him, as if he were a smaller version of the man.

Anyone with discerning eyes could guess that this was Gao Ming’s father. However, when he approached Gao Ming, the boy avoided him with a look of unfamiliarity and ran to Grandma Gao, crying, “Grandma, Grandpa, I thought I would never see you again…”

Watching from the side, Gu Zi felt a pang of sorrow. Even under these circumstances, Gao Ming’s mother hadn’t come to see him, seemingly indifferent to her son.

His father had returned, but he also seemed estranged from Gao Ming. Gu Zi couldn’t see any joy on his face at having found his lost son. Gao Ming’s parents were too cold-hearted. Poor Gao Ming.

Unable to hold back her tears, Gu Zi began to cry again.

At that moment, Gong Xin and the others arrived. Seeing that the children had been found, they breathed a sigh of relief. Gong Xin quickly handed Gu Zi a tissue to wipe her tears, “Stop crying, you’re breaking my heart!”

It was all Zhang Mei’s fault. If she hadn’t been obstructing them, they could have arrived earlier to comfort Gu Zi.

Gu Zi turned her head and met Gong Xin’s worried gaze. She shook her head, “I’m fine, I just haven’t had time to dry my tears.”

Grandma Gao, standing nearby, was also filled with indignation. “Such a serious matter has occurred, and even a stranger would have a word or two of sympathy. Yet, she, who is supposed to be the foster grandmother of the lost child, has the audacity to make sarcastic remarks and insult her foster daughter in public. Such behavior simply degrades the quality of a military family. It’s utterly malicious.” freewebnøvel.coɱ

Grandpa Gao, recalling something, furrowed his brows and asked, “The Zhang Mei you’re talking about, she’s Gu Shan’s wife, right?”

Although Gu Zi didn’t understand why Grandpa Gao was asking this, she nodded in response, “My foster mother is named Zhang Mei, and my foster father is Gu Shan. He’s a battalion captain in the military district.”

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gao angrily retorted, “To marry a woman of such poor character, Gu Shan, with such poor judgment, is unfit to be a battalion captain. Officer Zhou, return all the items Gu Shan sent here, and write a letter to the Military Commission!”

Gu Shan had recently been trying to curry favor with him by sending gifts, using connections he didn’t know where he had acquired.

Knowing that Gu Shan was Gu Zi’s foster father, he had initially planned to give Gu Zi some face and maintain a relationship with Gu Shan. However, upon learning of their treatment towards their foster daughter, he realized there was no need to associate with such people.
