Although Elder Ai was there to mediate, Ling Guiyu still couldn't control his murderous intention when he saw Gu Yuan.
And Gu Yuan was not timid, especially after sensing the murderous aura in the other party, the original awkwardness and embarrassment disappeared instantly.
He did not take the initiative to provoke the other party, but looked at the other party expressionlessly. In the end, Ling Guiyu withdrew his gaze first and snorted coldly.
If it weren't for Elder Ai here, Ling Guiyu would have been unable to control himself and would take action. Even if he had been "quiet" all these years, he still couldn't calm down when facing Gu Yuan.
Mingzhu looked at Gu Yuan and then at Ling Guiyu, noticing that the atmosphere here was a bit subtle. In fact, she also wondered why Elder Ai called Gu Yuan here.
What makes her even more incomprehensible is that Elder Ai actually asked Gu Yuan and Ling Guiyu to meet. This behavior now seems to add fuel to the fire. It doesn't look like something Elder Ai can do.
If she hadn't heard Gu Yuan say before that Elder Ai had promised to resolve the matter, she would have felt that the other party planned to hand Gu Yuan directly to Ling Guiyu.
Something is wrong.
Twelve out of ten things are wrong!
Elder Ai briefly introduced Ling Guiyu to Gu Yuan, and then asked the people in front of him to sit down, and even poured tea for them himself, which really flattered Gu Yuan.
"Old Ling, in fact, Gu Yuan, a young man, is quite good. If there are any misunderstandings, let's just clear them up." Elder Ai said.
Mingzhu didn't know how Ling Guiyu felt after hearing such words. Anyway, if it were her, she would definitely want to curse. After all, Ling Guiyu's son died on Gu Yuan.
This sounds really awkward.
Ling Guiyu's face was indeed ugly, but when facing Elder Ai, he did not dare to get angry. He could only express his anger, picked up the tea cup, poured the tea into his throat, and exhaled a long breath.
"Elder, I understand what you mean. I still have some things to do at home, so I will go back first."
Seeing Ling Guiyu stand up and walk out, Elder Ai put down his teacup and coughed lightly.
"etc."
Ling Guiyu stopped.
"The Ling family has been a little busy recently, and that's right when you think about it. Old Ling, I see that you haven't looked very good recently. Let others take care of the family matters first. As for you, stay at Guanlong Mountain first. Mingzhu , as a pharmacist, help Lao Ling take care of himself."
Mingzhu was a little stunned.
She followed Gu Yuan here because she was actually worried that something unexpected would happen and Gu Yuan would suffer. She still had a good impression of Gu Yuan, and the two of them were familiar with each other.
But now, Elder Ai made such an arrangement, clearly to force Ling Guiyu to stay in Guanlong Mountain.
She looked at Ling Guiyu and then at Gu Yuan. Before, she was confused as to why Elder Ai insisted on letting these two people meet, but now she completely understood.
This meeting was Elder Ai's warning to Ling Guiyu!
"What's wrong, Mingzhu, isn't it suitable?" Elder Ai asked again.
Mingzhu finally came to her senses and said with a smile: "Mr. Ling's complexion is not good. He must have worked hard day and night. He really needs to be recuperated. As a pharmacist, I should do something for Mr. Ling who has worked so hard."
Elder Ai then smiled and nodded, then looked at Ling Guiyu: "Old Ling, what do you think?"
Ling Guiyu's expression was extremely stiff. Even Mingzhu could figure out the problem, how could he not understand it thoroughly?
He just didn't understand why Elder Ai was so determined on this issue!
He was very confused as to what had happened in the past few days to make Elder Ai decide to stand by Gu Yuan regardless of everything, even to the point of forcing himself to stay in Guanlong Mountain.
But at this moment, no matter how dissatisfied he felt in his heart, he couldn't express it. He could only nod his head and thank Elder Ai for his concern.
After Ling Guiyu left, Elder Ai looked at Gu Yuan and said sternly: "Gu Yuan, it's easy to dodge an open weapon and hard to avoid a hidden one. The Ling family has indeed paid a lot for Daxia over the years. I don't want to go too far. All in all, it’s better to be careful.”
"Thank you, Elder Ai. I know it well." Gu Yuan said quickly.
Mingzhu couldn't help but said: "Elder Ai, what are you doing?"
"I'm just acting impartially. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Elder Ai said with a smile.
Mingzhu rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling that Elder Ai had really deceived her into treating her as a child.
But just like Ling Guiyu, although he complained in his heart, he still had to praise Elder Ai.
"Both of you, please go out," Elder Ai said.
Li Zhe and Mingzhu quickly got up and left.
"You said, what does Elder Ai want to say to Gu Yuan that we cannot listen to?" Mingzhu asked Li Zhe next to her.
Li Zhe shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, but my curiosity is not that serious."
Mingzhu suddenly stopped and looked directly at Li Zhe.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhe asked confused.
"If I remember correctly, Gu Yuan said before that he has been staying at your Li family these days, right?"
"Um."
"Then what happened in the past few days that made Elder Ai determined to stand by Gu Yuan's side?"
Li Zhe frowned and said seriously: "Mingzhu Xingjun, I am going to criticize you for this. What do you mean by standing on Gu Yuan's side? You are wrong! Elder Ai is standing on the side of justice!"
Mingzhu sneered.
She and Li Zhe had known each other for more than a day or two, and they were quite familiar with each other. She sarcastically said: "Can you act like a normal person? They are both foxes with thousands of years of history. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Is that what you said..." Li Zhe muttered. After meeting Mingzhu's eyes, he shook his head helplessly, "You'd better not ask me. In fact, I'm also very confused."
"Oh?" Mingzhu obviously didn't believe it.
Li Zhe thought for a moment and said, "If I told you that I only found out that Gu Yuan was in our Li family today, would you believe it?"
"What do you think?"
"Then there's no need to talk." Li Zhe shrugged.
This world is so strange. Girls believe a hundred lies told by scumbags and even dig into their hearts. But what about you? No one believes a word of truth.
This is a society where there is a lack of trust between individuals.
Seeing Li Zhe's attitude, Mingzhu also believed it.
"What secrets does your Li family hide?"
…
In the study.
Gu Yuan looked at Elder Ai in front of him, placing his hands unnaturally on his knees, as if he was called to the office by the class teacher when he was at school.
Elder Ai also looked at Gu Yuan at this moment, looked at it for a while, then shook his head, his brows knitting together.
"Why do you feel like you haven't changed much?"
Gu Yuan smiled awkwardly: "Elder, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you already sign a contract with the sacred tree? Why do you still have this temperament?" Elder Ai became more and more mysterious as he spoke.
Even the temperament is mentioned!
Gu Yuan thought for a while and said, "How about I perform for you?"
"Oh?" Elder Ai suddenly became interested.
