All of Gu Xiao's plans were disrupted.
With the matriarch in such a condition, he couldn't possibly go alone and had to bring Qin Youbei along.
Since he was there, he tried to adapt, trusting he could still protect Qin Youbei.
As soon as he got home, Gu Mama greeted him with tears, anxiously asking, "Xiaowu, what's going on? Why do they all say Siran is missing, why do they accuse you of killing Siran, who's deliberately causing trouble! They've almost driven your grandmother mad, your grandmother is now..."
Gu Mama was completely convinced that Gu Xiao wouldn't want to harm Tao Siran. If he wanted to kill Tao Siran for the Gu Family, he wouldn't have brought Tao Siran back in the first place.
Tao Siran's return or not wouldn't affect his position in any way.
Seeing his mother with red eyes, Gu Xiao reached out gently to embrace Gu Mama.
It wasn't just the matriarch who was driven mad; Gu Mama was equally frantic, just not showing it.
