Peng Yu snorted. “Taking up a drama immediately after she returns… does she even know how to act anymore?”

Peng Yu said, “All of you, go find media and send them the news.”

—

At this time, the Gu family naturally all knew about the news that Lin Che returned to the country.

Gu Xiande already asked Mu Wanqing if she was aware of it the first thing in the morning.

Mu Wanqing gave vague replies for a long time. She did not answer, meaning she did not say anything anyway.

Gu Xiande could only wave his hand and let her leave first.

Suddenly, someone came and said, “Yun Kuoshan would like to meet you.”

Gu Xiande thought for a long time. “Let him in.”

Yun Kuoshan threw a tantrum at Gu Xiande the moment he entered the room.

“Old Master, I really cannot comply with this! How could this happen? My Luoluo is so preoccupied with your Jingze that she lost all her appet.i.te. Your son, on the other hand, fetched Lin Che back blatantly in front of our Luoluo. He even let the shareholders see the child Lin Che gave birth to. This obviously shows that he wants that child to be the heir. By that time, your Gu family will end up in the hands of an actress with no background. This Jingze usually looks so clever, but he is so lost in the lies of this Lin Che. He does not get it at all! Our Luoluo is so nice to him and gave him whatever he wanted, but he doesn’t like her! The most important part is that not only did he not said he didn’t like her earlier, he played with her for so long and just threw her away like that. Our Yun family took to great lengths to come to C Country and this is so embarra.s.sing. Does this mean we are going to be thrown away after being done used?”

Gu Xiande watched him finish talking.

He was also suppressing his anger. This Yun Kuoshan initially thought he could marry his daughter to Gu Jingze, so he abandoned his previous promise with Gu Xiande and turned to help Gu Jingze. Only now did he remember to come to find him.

Gu Xiande said, “Kuoshan, I know you are anxious. But let me tell you, I also have no say over this matter. After all, the one who calls the shots in this house is Jingze now. I have already lost. I am squeezed out by him and there are not many left who can speak and stand next to me. What else can I help you say?”

Yun Kuoshan also understood Gu Xiande was purposely blaming him for the situation today.

Yun Kuoshan sighed and paced his tone. “Am I not anxious now? Luoluo is such a good girl. Do you not like her? She is a great fit with your Jingze.”

“But Jingze doesn’t listen to me. Your complaints here are useless.” Gu Xiande said.

Yun Kuoshan looked at him. “You can’t say that. As long as you stand by our Luoluo and go against that Lin Che, the people of the Gu family will at least give you some face. After all, with your vision, no matter how much power Jingze has, he is still young. He cannot be compared to your knowledgeable self. Everyone will trust your judgment. If you don’t like Lin Che, they will also not like Lin Che, right…”

“Huh, I have already stepped down, so I am not going to care about these things. We have no control over the children’s feelings. You should also just give up. If you are really desperate, our Jingyu is also single. Why not I introduce him to Yun Luo…”

“You…” Yun Kuoshan looked at Gu Xiande who seemed to not care anymore. He knew he did not purposely want to not care about himself, but Yun Kuoshan had already made the decision when he came. If he did not get a response, he would not leave.

“Old Master, our Yun family and you have so many years of friends.h.i.+p. My father already knew you since he was young and worked hard for so many years to get to where he is today. Are you really going to just abandon us and break off our friends.h.i.+p?”

“Kuoshan, what are you saying? I also have no choice. I am old, just waiting for my burial now…”

“You have to stand by me for this incident.” Yun Kuoshan sternly said.

Gu Xiande scoffed coldly. “Although I stepped down, I don’t think I will need to do whatever others ask me to do.”

Yun Kuoshan laughed. “There is one incident years ago that you have probably forgotten but my father still remembered this clearly.”

Gu Xiande’s bony hands stopped. He raised his head and looked at him.

The indifference in his eyes disappeared, only to be replaced by some sort of menace. “What did you say?”

“I am not sure if you still remember that your son had a relations.h.i.+p outside, many years ago. You stopped it later, causing him to lose his sense of belonging in this home and only think about leaving to live outside. In the end, he became a recluse with no aspirations, never to return. Even until now, you cannot even see him after many years.”

Gu Xiande’s aged face froze. His wrinkle-covered eyes stared at Yun Kuoshan.

As Yun Kuoshan spoke, his expression became lighter. “Apparently, that woman gave birth to a boy but you threw him into a frozen and snow-covered land to freeze him to death. In the end, no one knew if he actually froze to death. When your son went to find him, the child already went missing. He always suspected it was you who killed the child, but you actually don’t know where the child went, right?”

Gu Xiande looked at him grimly. “Stop talking.”

“You desperately hid this incident, so even now, your daughter-in-law did not know she was cheated on. Her husband did not return home because of you, that his son born out of wedlock was missing. You hid all of these so well that not a single one of the three brothers in the Gu family knows about it. Gu family’s reputation is still great to outsiders, saying how the Gu family is well-disciplined that there were no wrongdoings since the ancient times. During your term, there was also not a single speck of blemish. What if outsiders were to know about this or even just the three brothers know about this? How will they look at you? Knowing that there was another Gu family child outside who can s.n.a.t.c.h his position anytime, how will the Gu family look at you?”

“How will they look at Jingze?”

“I think by that time, the Gu family will be… pretty messy.”

“Enough.” Gu Xiande looked at him. “What do you want?”

“I have already said that even if I threaten him, Jingze will not listen. Furthermore, I have also lost the ability to force him.”

“I don’t want to do anything. Like I just said, I hope… you will always stand by me.” Yun Kuoshan put his hand behind his back and looked at Gu Xiande while smiling widely. It seemed like this person was in a merry mood now.

Lin Che brought Niannian to kindergarten together. She specifically told Niannian that Yunyun was also coming to cla.s.s today, so he should remember to take care of Yunyun.

Niannian naturally shrugged and said, “Isn’t this what I have been doing all along? This little girl always follows me. I was just a little freer…”

Lin Che said, “Didn’t you say you may marry her in the future? Of course, you have to protect her from now on.”
