When Gu Zhiyin came back, Mu Ning was playing with fireworks with Guoguo.
Guoguo was holding two fairy sticks in her hands, and Mu Ning was sitting on a stone chair, holding one in his left hand and taking pictures with his cell phone in his right hand.
She heard footsteps and looked up at the man walking towards her step by step.
He was wearing a high-end dark gray long windbreaker with a thin black turtleneck sweater underneath. His slender figure was covered with a layer of night. In the hazy light and shadow of the corridor, he had a heavy and serious sense of mystery.
"Come back so soon?"
"Is it quick?" Gu Zhiyin came over and touched her head, "I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time."
"It's only been thirteen minutes." Mu Ning looked at his watch.
Gu Zhiyin saw through her little thoughts and chuckled, "You're still on time."
"I'm afraid that if something happens to you, I can call someone to rescue you."
Mu Ning smelled smoke on his body, and it seemed that there were water drops on him.
She tilted her head, "Did you go to the bathroom? No, there's nothing wrong with going to the bathroom. Why did you go?"
"I promised not to ask."
Mu Ning pouted, "Okay, if you don't ask, don't ask."
She looked at the fairy wand in her hand slightly unhappily. Gu Zhiyin didn't say anything either. They were silent for a while, waiting for the fairy wand in her hand to burn out.
"Let's go, Ning Ning, to stay up late."
It is a custom in the Gu family's old house to stay up late on New Year's Eve. They have to go to the hall together and wait until after twelve o'clock before going to bed.
"Uncle Gu, we don't have any change of clothes." Mu Ning pulled Guo Guo and walked toward the hall together.
"I'll ask someone to deliver it."
"Then my cat..."
Gu Zhiyin glanced at her and sneered, "You are still thinking about your cat."
"Of course. I don't know how many days I'll be staying. I'm afraid there won't be enough cat food."
"There should be a spare key at the property. I'll ask someone to add food to it."
"But aren't you afraid that when we are not at home, she will cause trouble and make the room invisible? After all, your study room is a lesson learned..."
Gu Zhiyin was silent, his expression not very good.
"Sent to foster care."
"Foster it as soon as you buy it. It won't be kissed by anyone in the future."
As soon as he turned around, he found Mu Ning looking at him longingly. He paused and sighed softly, "I'll have it delivered to the old house."
"Thank you Uncle Gu, I know you are the best!"
Mu Ning pulled Guo Guo and ran forward, "Hurry up, Guo Guo, I will take you to watch the Spring Festival Gala!"
Gu Zhiyin shook his head helplessly, "I'm worried all day long."
…
The water in the pond was freezing cold in the depths of winter. Gu Yunsi finally crawled out of the pond. She looked like a drowned rat, with wet clothes clinging to her body. The cold wind blew and made her shiver.
She rushed to the house crying and met her mother Shen Yu on the way.
"Sisi! What happened? How did you do this?!"
"Mom! Cousin, for that country girl, he let the dog bite me and even caused me to fall into the pond!"
Gu Yunsi opened his mouth to complain.
"I asked you not to find fault with her. Don't you know that Gu Zhiyin protects her?" Although Shen Yu felt sorry for her daughter, she felt that she deserved it.
"I'm like this and you still blame me! No, I'll tell my dad! Let my dad deal with him!"
Her father, Gu Huai'an, was Gu Zhiyin's second uncle. Gu Zhiyin didn't take them seriously, so he didn't believe that his status as an elder could not suppress him.
"Don't go looking for your dad. He and your uncle are going to the old lady's place together."
"Grandma? Why are they looking for grandma?" Gu Yunsi immediately smelled something fishy.
"I don't know. Don't ask, kid. Go change your clothes quickly. Be careful of getting cold."
Shen Yu urged Gu Yunsi to change clothes.
On the other side, Gu Peiyuan and Gu Huaian were sitting on the sofa.
The old lady is excerpting scriptures.
"Mom, I sent someone to investigate. Gu Zhiyin went on a business trip to country
"I thought it was someone who bewitched Gu Zhiyin's mind. I didn't expect that it was her, a yellow-haired girl, who caused our Gu family to suffer such serious losses!"
Gu Huaian was filled with indignation.
Gu Peiyuan added fuel to the fire, "I also heard that Gu Zhiyin celebrated this girl's birthday a few days ago and invited many celebrities to join her. At the birthday party, they made their relationship public and even said that Mu Ning was his girlfriend! "
I heard that the birthday party was a failure. Although the news was suppressed, I still couldn't resist the gossip.
"What? He actually said that Mu Ning is his girlfriend in public? Bah! It's such an embarrassment to the Gu family! Why did the Gu family have such a rebellious beast!"
Gu Huaian looked angry.
"You are so shameless when you turn your back on Gu for a woman! Does he have any moral or ethical sense of shame anymore!"
The old lady remained silent.
After they finished speaking, she put down the brush, raised her head and said slowly.
"Is this why you came to me?"
"mom……"
"I already know about this. I warned him before you came."
Gu Huaian was stunned and looked at Gu Peiyuan.
Although the old lady is in charge of the old house, she has much better information than them.
After Qiao Wan called her last time, she immediately asked someone to check.
"Then he listens to your words and sends Mu Ning out?" Gu Huai'an looked unhappy, "He is getting more and more aggressive now, and it is getting harder and harder to control him!"
"I have my own way to make him obey." The old lady smiled knowingly.
"Aren't you afraid of the dangers of raising a tiger? Mom, he is not an unambitious person. On the contrary, he hides it very deeply. If one day he monopolizes the Gu family..."
"He won't." The old lady was very sure.
Gu Peiyuan said: "I'm still worried. Why don't you find someone more obedient and trustworthy and take his place?"
Mrs. Gu hummed, "Who should I change it to? You or your son?"
The old lady glanced sideways at her, and Gu Peiyuan fell silent for a moment.
"My vision is never wrong. I chose him to take the position of CEO because he is sharper and easier to use than all the children and grandchildren of the Gu family."
After Mr. Gu died, the Gu family caused a lot of trouble in order to fight for the inheritance.
At that time, more than a dozen people from the Gu family gathered around the conference table, and they were so noisy that their faces turned red.
Only Gu Zhiyin stood in the corner, looking at them coldly.
The old lady will never forget his dark eyes, which looked like mockery, disdain, and disgust.
She walked over and asked him what he thought.
Unexpectedly, he didn't want anything from the Gu family. He only wanted his mother to be included in the Gu family tree and buried with his father.
The old lady promised him that as long as he could make the Gu family one of the top three in the world, stand firm for a hundred years, and bless everyone in the Gu family, she would allow his mother to be buried in the Gu family cemetery.
Then, property disputes, financial storms... he passed the test and supported the Gu family in one fell swoop.
Gu Huaian was still unwilling to give up, "Mom, why are you so partial to him? Isn't it enough that you have been partial for so many years?!"
"Partial? Hmph! If I were partial, how could you two have enjoyed the success until now? Don't forget that everything you enjoy now was brought about by him! Have you forgotten what the Gu family was like in the beginning?"
After the death of Mr. Gu, the Gu family's stock price fell sharply, and the Gu family was still not united. It was only after Gu Zhiyin came to power that the Gu family came back to life and achieved its current glory.
This was all the result of Gu Zhiyin working hard day and night and risking his life.
"It's time for you to cherish your blessings! Don't be arrogant all day long and make crooked ideas!"
Mrs. Gu finished speaking sternly, "If you have nothing else to do, just go out. I want to rest too."
Seeing the old lady giving the order to expel the guests, the two of them got up and left.
As soon as they went out, Gu Huaian pulled Gu Peiyuan and said.
"The old lady's intention is very clear. President Gu Zhiyin's seat cannot be moved for the time being."
"I have used him to work for the Gu family for so many years. It should be enough. I don't want him to step down. I don't know what the old lady thinks. Is it possible that she really developed feelings and can't bear to let him go?"
"Impossible, the old lady hates that woman and the bastard she gave birth to."
"But brother, we can't let Gu Zhiyin put pressure on us anymore. The old lady can control him now, but she is eighty this year. If something happens to her, Gu Zhiyin can't kill our two families?!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Since the old lady refuses to take action, let's just keep doing it..."
…
Gu's old house is antique and still retains the architectural style of ancient times.
There was a lot of fun in the hall, with a group of people making tea around the stove.
Mu Ning was holding his cell phone and fighting the landlord.
After losing ten rounds, Mu Ning made an angry phone call to Lu Xinting.
"Hey, are you getting along well with Song Heng?"
