From what the little packrat had said, Gong Qing knew that Gu Qiqi had sincerely protected the little packrat back then. A trace of discomfort flashed across his face.

He had always refused to acknowledge Gu Qiqi. Of course, he suspected Gu Qiqi’s true motive.

He was afraid that Gu Qiqi would hurt Gong Jue and the little packrat.

But… at this critical moment, Gu Qiqi was protecting the boy so desperately. His doubts were already fading.

However, he still could not completely let his guard down. He could not bring himself to admit that his taste was bad.

Pursing his lips, he snorted. “Who knows if the vixen was just putting on a show for you! Silly boy!”

The little packrat was not confused at all.

His big eyes blinked. Suddenly, he said, “Grandpa, didn’t you ask me to hide that day?”

Gong Qing was speechless. Brat, this is a secret! A secret! You can’t say it in public! Don’t you know?

Hurry up and shut up.

The little packrat, on the other hand, had a confused expression on its face, as if it didn’t notice his anxious gaze. It continued speaking, “Grandpa, didn’t you ask me to hide and test Big Sister? That’s why I hid behind the pillar. I thought I would come out soon, but I didn’t expect to be captured… Grandpa, if that bad person is in cahoots with Big Sister, how could they have expected me to hide? If I didn’t hide, wouldn’t they have no chance to do anything? Therefore, the bad person definitely isn’t in cahoots with Big Sister. If you insist on believing that, then Big Sister will have reason to suspect that you sent the bad person! After all, the moment I hid, the bad person discovered me…”

Gong Qing was speechless.

He had been utterly humiliated!

He had been exposed in front of everyone for his scheme to test the vixen.

Her biological grandson even suspected that he was related to the kidnappers.

At the side, Gong Jue was already furious. His voice was cold as he glared at Gong Qing. “So, you were the initiator of that incident? In order to test Qiqi, you tricked the boy?!”

Gong Qing pursed his lips tightly, unable to answer!

Although that wasn’t his intention, the truth was that it was!

He blamed himself too! He had always regretted it silently.

Gong Jue didn’t intend to let him blame himself silently. He said loudly, “You keep saying that my woman has ulterior motives and that she harbors ill intentions towards the boy and me. In reality, you were the one who messed around and invited the wolf into the house! Gong Qing, what kind of grandfather are you? Are you planning to trap all three of us before you stop? Do you have any other rotten ideas to test Qiqi?”

Gong Qing was utterly humiliated by his son’s reprimand.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Qiqi staring at him with a faint smile, as if she was saying, “So it’s a test. What’s the result of your test? Are you satisfied?”

Damn it, he was mocked and despised by the vixen!

How embarrassing!

Gong Qing’s face turned red for a long time before he squeezed out a few words. “I was careless this time. There won’t be a next time.”

Gong Jue replied coldly, “If there’s a next time, I’ll disown my family!”

Gong Qing was speechless.

The little packrat’s large eyes darted to the side and rested peacefully on Gu Qiqi’s chest.

Oh, Daddy and Grandpa, take your time arguing. I want to spend more time with Big Sister.

The little packrat, who had successfully rebuked his grandfather in front of his father, naughtily scratched Gu Qiqi’s clothes with its little fingers.

At the side, Songsong watched speechlessly as her husband was rebuked by his grandson and then by his son. Thinking about how pitiful he was as an old fool, she didn’t make things worse for him.

Instead, he helped him out of her predicament. “Little packrat, when you were pulled away by the bad guy, did you see what he looked like? Did he have any characteristics? If he did, tell me and help your father find the culprit. Otherwise, if that bad guy is still in the capital, you’ll always be in danger.”
