"Uncle, can you lend me a hundred dollars?"

He grabbed Lu Jingling's trouser leg and whispered, "It's my mother's birthday today, and I want to buy her a birthday present. I'll give it back to you later."

Lu Jingling reached out and picked up Gu Anning, then quickly stuffed the hundred yuan into his hands.

He also lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't you ask your father for it?"

Gu Anning's eyes dimmed for a moment. "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you this time. Mommy said that my father died before I was born."

Seeing the two of them sticking together, Gu Ziyan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

She shouted snappily, "Gu Anning, hurry up and come over here, or else Mom won't want you anymore."

"Yes, I want to thank Uncle."

Gu Anning quickly jumped off Lu Jingling's body and ran shakily towards Gu Ziyan.

Looking at his small back, Lu Jingling's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This child, could it be...

"Xiao Hai, immediately investigate Gu Ziyan's whereabouts. I want all of her movements in the past five years, including her child's birthplace..."

"What did you say to that man?"

After entering the elevator, Gu Ziyan immediately questioned her son.

She did not want to deal with any other member of the Lu family, especially Lu Jingling.

The events of five years ago flashed in front of her eyes like a movie, and as she recalled the difficult scenes of childhood, Gu Ziyan's ears suddenly felt as if they were burning.

"Mommy, what happened to your face? Did you catch a cold?"

Gu Anning touched Gu Ziyan's forehead like a little adult.

Gu Ziyan quickly turned her face to the side and said unnaturally.

"No, Mommy was angry with you. How can you talk to strangers? Didn't Mommy tell you how dangerous it is to casually touch strangers?"

Gu Anning immediately hugged Gu Ziyan's neck and rubbed his round face against her neck like a spoiled child.

"I fell just now. Uncle saved me. Mommy told me that I should be grateful. I just went over to thank him."

A soft voice sounded by her ear, and Gu Ziyan's anger immediately subsided a lot.

"But you must remember not to get too close to strangers, especially people named Lu. They are all bad people, and you must stay away from them the next time you see them, do you understand?"

"Yes, I know, Mommy."

Gu Anning pouted and kissed Gu Ziyan on the cheek. Under the attack of the sugar-coated bullets, Gu Ziyan's fire was instantly extinguished.

The two of them stopped at the entrance of the supermarket and habitually discussed what they wanted to eat before entering together. Gu Ziyan did not notice that the ingredients her son had ordered today were all her favorite.

Not long after, the food was served on the table. Gu Anning climbed onto the stool and solemnly took out a small red box from his pocket.

"Mommy, happy birthday."

Gu Ziyan was a little surprised. She had even forgotten her birthday, but she didn't expect her son to remember it. She subconsciously took the small gift box and opened it. It was a beautiful hairpin.

Gu Anning looked at his mother with anticipation. He asked like a gentleman, "Beauty, do you like my gift?"

"Yes, of course I like it."

Gu Ziyan answered with a smile, but then she realized that something was wrong. "Gu Anning, where did you get the money?"

"This..."

Gu Anning's little face immediately became sullen. Seeing that his mommy's expression was getting uglier and uglier, he quickly raised his little hand.

"I surrender. I borrowed the money from the uncle just now."

"You... How can you borrow money from him?" Gu Ziyan was furious. She threw the hairpin on the ground and a few beautiful water drills fell to the ground.

"Gu Anning, how do I usually teach you? Do you think everything I say is useless?"

Gu Anning had never seen his mother so angry before. Her small mouth flattened, and she burst into tears.

"Mommy, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Don't be angry, okay?"

"Just because you're not angry means that I forgive you. Go into the house. Don't eat dinner tonight."

"I know, Mommy." Gu Anning sobbed as he entered the small house.

Looking at her son's small back, Gu Ziyan's tears also fell.

She had a good family, but it was because of her two brothers from the Lu family and that shameless bitch that she had a hard time getting home. She had to live on live broadcasts.

She had had to scrimp to keep her son from losing at the starting line in order to give him the best education, and now that she thought about it, she had been too harsh.

Looking at the table full of her favorite dishes, Gu Ziyan's heart felt even worse. The child was so sensible, but she scolded him instead. It was easy to imagine how wronged he felt.

Wiping away her tears, Gu Ziyan picked up the hairpin, stuck all the diamonds on it, and pinned it on her head. She smiled at Gu Anning and said, "Baby, come and take a look. Does Mommy look good with this?"

After all, Gu Anning was a child. When he saw that Mommy had brought his gift, he immediately broke into a smile. He clapped his hands and said, "Mommy is so beautiful."

"It's all thanks to my baby. Mommy, thank you. Come and eat. I'll broadcast it live with Mommy later."

The mother and son made up. After dinner, it was time for Gu Ziyan to work.

She had a good voice, and she was a singer on the platform, so that she wouldn't be recognized, and she wore a mask every time she did a live broadcast, and there were occasional tips, but most of them just wanted to see what she looked like, and over time they lost interest in her, but today was different.

Gu Anning clapped his hands happily. "Mommy, these big ships must be worth a lot of money."

Gu Ziyan was also shocked. Ten ships were 100,000 yuan. Who was so generous as to tip so much money without even saying a word?

The public screen also lit up with a large number of exclamations. Who the hell was this? He had not even started singing and he was already tipping. He was simply awesome.

At this moment, the screen was bombarded by aircraft carriers again. Another ten aircraft carriers almost blew up the frequency. There were even quite a number of live streamers who came to her place to watch the show.

Gu Ziyan could not help but feel a little flustered, followed by waves of uneasiness.

Usually, people who spent money like this would definitely have some requirements. What if the platform forced her to meet this person?

Just as the third round of aircraft carrier bombing started, she finally couldn't help but open the private message called Mr. Rich Boss.

"Don't brush it anymore. I don't know how to take off my mask, and I can't meet you. If you have the intention, why don't you find another streamer? Maybe you can get something more practical."
