Chapter 97 Find Your Father
Chapter Ninety-Seven: Finding Your Father
Li Yan was already in a complete panic and didn't even care that Xie Changyan was present.
With tears welling in her eyes and her face full of anxiety, she grabbed Gu Tingyan's hand and pleaded.
"Ayan, please help me find your father."
Even though Gu Tingyan knew the truth, seeing his mother's broken state, he didn't dare to refuse and quickly nodded, "Li Yan, don't panic, I'll go find her now."
As Li Yan watched Gu Tingyan's departing figure, tears welled up and blurred her vision.
Xie Changyan looked at everything happening in front of him with surprise and was full of doubt. He was about to call out to Li Yan.
As a result, she wiped away her tears and left without looking back.
Xie Changyan shut his mouth, pursed his lips, and watched as Li Yan looked like she had lost her mind and frantically searched for someone.
"Li Yan, I've gone through the whole area, but I still haven't seen Dad."
Gu Tingyan walked back, helped Li Yan who almost fell, and said with heartache.
With tears in her eyes, Li Yan shook her head at Gu Cheng, her red lips trembling, "No, Ayan, look again, maybe we missed something!"
Gu Tingyan had never seen his mother so distraught, and his heart was bleeding with pain.
To avoid upsetting his mother, he carefully searched the Xie family's house three times, inside and out.
But it ended in failure.
"Li Yan, I really didn't see a trace of Dad." Gu Tingyan finally returned and walked helplessly toward Li Yan.
Li Yan was so sad that she burst into tears, and the scalding tears fell onto Gu Tingyan's arm, which was supporting her.
Gu Tingyan couldn't bear it, so he helped his mother walk to Xie Changyan.
With an apologetic expression and a forced smile, Gu Tingyan said helplessly, "President Xie, could you provide the surveillance footage? We're looking for someone."
Xie Changyan looked at Li Yan, whose eyes were lifeless, a stark contrast to her appearance at the banquet.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at it, and nodded to Gu Tingyan: "I'll check the surveillance footage later and send it to you."
Gu Tingyan put his arm around Li Yan and bowed deeply to Xie Changyan: "Thank you, President Xie."
"Mr. Gu, you're welcome."
As Xie Changyan spoke to Gu Tingyan, his gaze unconsciously fell on Li Yan.
The old home of the Gu family.
Li Yan stayed by Gu Tingyan's side, waiting for Xie Changyan to send over the surveillance video.
He was very efficient; they received the surveillance footage from him shortly afterward.
Gu Tingyan and Li Yan sat in the living room, checking the surveillance footage minute by minute.
"Ah Yan, let's review the surveillance footage one more time."
Li Yan couldn't believe it was her imagination, and she clutched Gu Tingyan's clothes with her small hand, pleading.
Gu Tingyan nodded and, following Li Yan's instructions, watched the surveillance video three more times.
After looking at it so many times, Li Yan finally realized that she had mistaken the person and it was all her imagination.
She lowered her head, leaned on Gu Tingyan's shoulder, and shed tears of resentment.
Feeling his clothes soaked with tears, Gu Tingyan raised his hand and put his arm around his mother's shoulder, patting it gently.
"Mom, I'm still here. I'll take good care of you for Dad."
"Woooo..."
Li Yan held her face in her hands, her shoulders trembling, and she couldn't help but cry.
"Ah Yan, I miss your father so much..."
Gu Tingyan felt a faint mist welling up in his eyes. He looked up at the ceiling, trying to hold back his tears.
He held his grieving mother in his arms to comfort her, just as his mother had held him in the same way when he was sad and upset.
As soon as Xu Rou came downstairs, she saw this scene.
She should be happy.
But his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and he felt a strange pang of sadness in his heart.
