Peng Yu harrumphed. "Can she still act when she's back?"
Peng Yu said, "Go and get the media to release the news …"

By then, the Gu family had already received the news that Lin Che had returned to the country.
Early in the morning, Gu Xiande had already asked Mu Wanqing if she already knew.
Mu Wanqing mumbled for a long time. She didn't say that she knew, nor did she say that she didn't know.
Gu Xiande could only wave his hand and let her leave.
Just then, someone said, "Yun Kuoshan requests an audience."
Gu Xiande thought for a long time. "Call him in."
Yun Kuoshan threw a tantrum at Gu Xiande the moment he entered.
Isn't it obvious that he wants that child to inherit the family? When the time comes, the Gu family will fall into the hands of an entertainer with no background. This Jingze looks so smart usually, but he's been fooled by Lin Che. He doesn't understand at all. Our Luoluo treats him so well and gets whatever he wants, but he doesn't like our Luoluo at all. More importantly, if he doesn't like Luoluo, he should have said so earlier. After toying with Luoluo for so long, he threw her away just like that. Our Yun family came all the way to Country C, but now we're embarrassed. Is he going to throw us away after using us? "
Gu Xiande looked at him until he finished speaking.
He was also holding back his anger. This Yun Kuoshan. Back then, he thought he could marry his daughter to Gu Jingze, so he abandoned his previous agreement with Gu Xiande and turned to help Gu Jingze. Only now did he know to look for him.
Gu Xiande said, "Kuoshan, I know you're anxious, but let me tell you, I can't do anything about this. After all, Jingze is the master of the family now. I can't do it anymore. I've been pushed down by him. There aren't many people who can stand by my side now. What else can I say for you?"
Yun Kuoshan knew that he was purposely saying that it was all his fault that caused the situation today.
Yun Kuoshan sighed and softened his tone. "I'm just anxious. Luoluo, she's such a good girl. Don't you like her? She's a perfect match for your Jingze."
"But Jingze doesn't listen to me," Gu Xiande said. "It's useless for you to complain to me."
Yun Kuoshan looked at him and said, "You can't say it like that. As long as you stand on Luoluo's side and oppose Lin Che, the people of the Gu family will more or less give you face. In the end, your vision is right here. No matter how much Jingze manages things, he is still young and not as experienced as you. Everyone will trust your judgment. If you don't like Lin Che, they won't like Lin Che either, right …"
"Ha, now that I've retired, I'm not going to care about this anymore. We can't care about children's feelings. You should give up too. If it really doesn't work out, our Jingyu still hasn't found a girlfriend. How about I introduce her to Yun Luo …"
"You …" Yun Kuoshan looked at Gu Xiande's attitude and knew that he didn't want to care about him on purpose. But before Yun Kuoshan came, he had already made up his mind. He wouldn't leave until he got a response.
"Old Master, the Yun family has been friends with you for so many years. My father has known you since he was young. We've worked hard together for so many years to get to where we are today. Are you really going to abandon us and cut off all ties with us?"
"Kuoshan, what are you talking about? I have no other choice. I'm really old, and I'm just waiting to enter the grave …"
"You have to stand on my side on this matter," Yun Kuoshan said sternly.
Gu Xiande snorted coldly. "Although I've retired, it's not like I have to do something that I have to do."
Yun Kuoshan laughed. "There's one thing that you've probably forgotten after so many years, but my father remembers it clearly."
Gu Xiande's withered hand paused. He raised it and looked at him.
The calmness in his eyes had disappeared and was replaced by a different kind of threat. "What did you say?"
"I don't know if you still remember that many years ago, your son had a relationship outside. Later, you stopped it. From then on, he didn't want to stay at home anymore. He just wanted to leave home and live outside. In the end, he completely went to live as a wild crane and never came back. Until now, you haven't seen him for many years."
Gu Xiande's aged face froze in place. His wrinkled eyes stared at him.
Yun Kuoshan's expression became cheerful as he said, "It's said that the woman gave birth to a boy, but you threw him into the ice and snow, trying to freeze him to death. In the end, you don't know if he froze to death or not. When your son went to look for him, the child was already gone. He always suspected that you killed the child, but you actually don't know where the child went, right?"
Gu Xiande looked at him in shock. "Don't say anymore."
"You've covered up this matter so much that your wife doesn't know that she had an affair long ago. Her husband still hasn't come home because of you. He still has an illegitimate child outside, but you've covered it up so well that the three brothers of the Gu family don't know about it. The Gu family's reputation is still so good. They say that the Gu family is orderly and has never done anything wrong since ancient times. It's like there's no blemish during your reign. Tell me, if outsiders find out about this, let alone the three brothers, how will they look at you? If they know that there's a descendant of the Gu family outside who might compete with Gu Jingze for his position, how will the Gu family look at you? How will they look at Gu Jingze? I think the Gu family … will be in a mess then. "
"Enough." Gu Xiande looked at him. "What do you want? I've said it before. Even if I force him, Jingze won't listen. Moreover, I don't have the ability to force him now. "
"I don't want anything. Just tell me what I said. I just hope that you … will always stand by my side." Yun Kuoshan put his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Xiande with joy on his face. It seemed that he was very happy at the moment.

Lin Che brought Nian Nian to the kindergarten. He told Nian Nian that Yunyun would be in class today, so he remembered to take care of Yunyun.
Nian Nian shrugged and said, "Isn't that what I've been doing all along? This little girl is really a follower. I've just gotten a little more freedom …"
Lin Che said, "Didn't you say that you might marry her in the future? Of course, she's relying on you to protect her now."
