Kapitel 158: Ruthless Elimination

This time, Gu Moyan's demeanor upon returning home was particularly amiable.

He gifted Gu Shiyan with Longjing tea, his favorite, and, surprisingly, even addressed him as "Father."

Gu Shiyan said nothing in response, but his smile lingered at the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Father and son rarely sat together so peacefully, sharing a few drinks in quiet understanding, with no mention of sensitive topics—a rare, harmonious atmosphere filled the room.

Even Tao Sisi softened her usual domineering behavior from school, appearing gentle and obedient.

Her previous harshness toward Qiao Yu, calling her derogatory names, was replaced with sweetly addressing her as "Auntie."

Qiao Yu felt something was amiss but kept a pleasant expression, warmly urging Tao Sisi to eat more.

The adults, in silent agreement, believed that regardless of how unruly or annoying children could be, appearances should be maintained.
