Consolation
Within a quiet hospital ward, Gu Li's leg was suspended in a cast. An old man with white hair stood by the window of his room.
The old man habitually wanted to light a cigarette for himself, but Gu Li raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"Elder Hua, this is a hospital."
A faint laugh sounded out from Gu Li's mouth. Only then did the old man turn around and put the cigarette back into the box with a coy smile.
The old man was none other than Hua Li who followed by Gu Tian's side.
"I forgot." The old geezer's eyes were filled with indescribable age. He let out a seemingly exhausted sigh, then glanced at Gu Li's dangling right leg. "He still didn't notice?"
"You … don't know how good my tolerance is!"
Gu Li smiled faintly, a hint of lingering fear on his face.
"Don't look at how this kid Gu Tian is a little rash, but the kid he found is very shrewd. I just went to eavesdrop, and he found out right away. Luckily, my acting skills are better. When he gave me acupuncture and broke my leg, I was in so much pain. "
With a sinister smile, he slammed his hand on the table.
"I'll remember that brat. When I take control of the Gu family, he … must die!"
"Hehe …" Hua Li laughed lightly.
"What, you want me to be discovered? It seems that you are very disdainful of my actions? " "Don't forget, your daughter's child is still waiting for you to pick her up."
Hua Li's face stiffened and his fingers trembled. His murky eyes were filled with anger.
"You …"
"What happened to me?" "I just want to be friends with your granddaughter. Why do you have to be like this?"
"Gu Li, don't go overboard. No one in the family can threaten your position now. On the day of the election, the position of young patriarch will be yours. Can you let my granddaughter go? "
Gu Li squinted his eyes and twitched his mouth, "Don't worry, Gu Li.
"You really know how to joke. Who can say for sure until the last moment? Let's wait. It won't take long, right? "
Displeasure surfaced on Hua Li's aged face. Seeing that, Gu Li hurriedly comforted him.
"Don't be like this. Haven't we been cooperating happily all this while? Alright, don't stay here for too long. If I allow that silly kid Gu Tian to react, then I would have suffered for nothing. "
"Remember your promise."
Hua Li said indifferently, then turned around and left. As Gu Li watched him leave, his expression darkened even more.
"Old thing, you actually dare to be so shameless with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and spoke into the microphone.
"Send Hua Li's granddaughter to my room tonight!"
…
"This is f * cking infuriating!"
Ye Zichen sat on the sofa of the hotel suite angrily. That brat Gu Tian actually didn't believe him. What's more, he'd been so ruthless, yet he still hadn't exposed Gu Li's true colors …
Angry!
"Is there a need for that?" Fatty Yin smiled faintly and crossed his legs. "That kid called Gu Li is very scheming … and very patient. It's very normal that he couldn't discover Gu Tian! But that brat Gu Tian is truly a bit dumb. He's too straightforward! "
"He deserves to be tricked."
Ye Zichen felt extremely angry when he thought about Gu Tian's actions.
"No need," Fatty Yin shrugged. Fatty Yin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since you don't need to help Gu Tian in the selection for the position of young master, then the matters here in the capital should come to an end …"
"Mhmm, I'll book a ticket back to Bingcheng when my mom comes back later!"
"Zeze … It seems like you hurt that brat pretty deeply!"
Fatty Yin smiled playfully. At that moment, the door to the hotel room opened.
Ye Rong walked in from outside, while Gu Tian, who was holding a fruit in his hand, stood beside her.
"Big Brother Ye!"
"Fatty, let's get together again when we have time. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time!"
Ye Zichen cupped his hands towards Fatty Yin, then rolled his eyes and returned to his bedroom. Yin Qiong walked past Gu Tian with a smile. However, his playful smile caused Gu Tian's expression to turn even more awkward.
"What? Did you get into a conflict with Zichen?"
Ye Rong asked curiously. She did not know what had happened to the Gu family. He had met Gu Tian along the way and brought him here.
"En, Auntie, this … Big Brother Ye seems to be quite angry with me, so I won't bother you anymore."
Ye Rong left the room with a coy smile. Ye Rong hesitated for a moment, then walked in front of Ye Zichen's bedroom and knocked on the door.
"We have nothing to talk about. You can leave!"
"Zichen, open up. It's me!" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, then sat up from the bed and opened the bedroom door.
He subconsciously glanced to the side, and only spoke when he realized that Gu Tian was no longer there.
"Where did that kid go?"
"He's gone." Ye Rong chuckled, walked to the sofa in the room, sat down, and said, "Did you two have a conflict? Shouldn't you be in the Gu Family now? Why did you come back to the hotel?"
"It's nothing. Let's book a plane ticket back!"
"Is there any need to hide anything from me?"
Ye Rong caressed Ye Zichen's hair. After a moment of hesitation, he told her everything.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen." Ye Rong raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Are you sure you don't want to help him?"
"This silly boy, if I don't help him, he might be played to death in the end."
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes in annoyance. Hearing that, Ye Rong nodded and smiled.
"What's there to be angry about?"
"People need face, trees need bark! That kid already said that, and I'm helping him? How sick am I? " Ye Zichen snorted in annoyance. "You weren't there. That Gu Li … is truly good at acting. Even now, I want to beat him up when I think of him! Gu Tian is also stupid, fuming with anger! "
"Since that's what you think, what's there to be angry about?" Ye Rong caressed Ye Zichen's hair with a smile. "Gu Tian's personality is rather similar to his father's. He's rather straightforward, and doesn't have any bad intentions. However, he's rather dumb sometimes."
"He's dumb … I …" Ye Zichen was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he finally spoke up helplessly. "He's truly too dumb. I don't even know how to describe it!"
Ye Rong revealed a gentle smile when she saw his speechless expression.
"Now that he's in trouble, you should help him. He's a bit straight, but aren't you not straight as an older brother? Are you just going to stand by and watch someone bully your little brother? "
Ye Zichen remained silent. Seeing that he didn't react, Ye Rong spoke up once again.
