"The situation in Dragon City is getting more and more chaotic. Oh yes, Second Brother and the others should be arriving tomorrow. The Lunar New Year is getting closer and closer. This is the first reunion of our family. We can't let others disturb it. "
What Gong Si said made sense. Lin Mengya also felt that instead of living in fear, it was better to be prepared for everything. No matter how violent the storm was, she would not be moved.
At the very least, he wouldn't lose his footing by remaining unchanged.
"It's a pity that Eldest Brother can't come. I still remember when we were young, no matter how sad the family was, Eldest Brother would try his best to make us have a good Lunar New Year."
Gong Wu could not help but feel a little melancholy as he reminisced.
Who was not frivolous when they were young? It was a pity that they had suppressed their nature for the sake of the Gong family.
Now, with the arrival of his younger sister, he could live a carefree life.
It was a pity that Eldest Brother and the others were no longer young. After all, they had missed the most wonderful moment of their lives.
"Yes, but there is no other way. In the past, Eldest Brother was busy supporting the family. Now that the family business has grown, he is still busy with how to arrange for the family business. It has been hard on Eldest Brother for so many years. "
Gong Si raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. But he knew that Eldest Brother was happy to be busy.
"Oh yes, Fifth Brother, now that such a thing has happened to the Lian family, can you not help Lian Xing? If he makes a mistake now, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it. "
After being reminded by her, Lian Xing suddenly remembered. After asking for the specific time of his family's arrival, he immediately disappeared.
"What do you want to tell me by sending him away?"
Lin Mengya looked at Gong Si with a serious expression.
"Before you left, Eldest Brother must have told you that someone is trying to replace me."
Gong Si nodded. That was indeed the case.
"Did he tell you that the person who wanted to pretend to be me is my half-sister?"
Gong Bin did not say anything about this.
Gong Si hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but he did not say anything.
"Speaking of which, she is not my biological sister. What happened between them is related to my parents, so it's not convenient to talk about it in detail. She grew up with me, and she and her mother had tried to harm me many times. If it weren't for my great fortune, I would have died long ago. "
There were some things that only those who had experienced it would feel cruel, but now that she said it, it was already an understatement.
But when Gong Si heard this, he felt a little heartache.
Their lives weren't easy, but wasn't it the same for his little sister?
"Big Brother, I won't let this person hurt you. From what I heard, it seems like he already has other plans. "
"Yes, Big Brother and I both want to keep her, but we need to know who the mastermind behind her is. I suspect that the changes that I mentioned to you before might have something to do with the supporters behind her. Even if they are not the same person, they must be inextricably linked. "
This person knew her past like the back of his hand.
He knew the grudge between her and Lin Mengwu, as well as the relationship between Zhu Yan and Shangguan Hui.
However, he didn't know anything else.
But it was very strange that since this person wanted to harm her, why did he always use these tricks behind her back?
Since he had such great power to bring her enemies and relatives here, why didn't he personally crush her? Instead, he gave her a chance to breathe?
She didn't know whether that person was just a simple pervert, or he couldn't do this.
However, there was one thing that was certain, and that was that this person's background was definitely not simple.
"This is interesting. You have a lot of enemies before, but the Gong family's strong enemies over the years are also eyeing you covetously. No matter from what aspect, we are a family. "
Gong Si pretended to be relaxed, but some things couldn't be solved in a hurry.
Lin Mengya smiled. Some things were really coincidental.
Perhaps, this was fate destined by the heavens.
"There is one more thing. A few days ago, the Empress sent someone to give Fifth Elder Brother an empty title, but I refused."
Gong Si raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully.
"So, you asked Fifth Elder Brother to help Lian Xing just to let the Emperor and the Empress know that he exists?"
"Of course it's not that simple." Lin Mengya shrugged and smiled like a little fox. "I want the Emperor and the Empress to understand that the only one they can rely on now is our Gong Family."
This was not as despicable as taking advantage of the situation. It was always the easiest to see the sincerity of a person when they needed help.
Now that the Lian family was in trouble, those who had their own plans would probably choose to wait and see.
To them, the change in the royal family was like a huge gamble.
However, the stakes were the lives of their families and generations of glory.
"That makes sense. Moreover, Fifth Elder Brother is capable. We have been friends with the Lian family for generations. Instead of letting someone else replace the Lian family, it is better for us to be the other arm of the royal family. Only by cultivating both internal and external strength can the royal family survive. "
Gong Si's words were also Lin Mengya's thoughts.
The Gong family would never stay in the small Dragon City, but the Lian family was different. They had to rely on the royal family to survive.
This was their destiny, and it was also their responsibility and obligation.
In this way, the interests of the Gong family and the Lian family would not conflict, and they would complement each other.
In fact, she guessed that Old Master Lian thought so too. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Lian Xing to pull Fifth Elder Brother into the same boat.
Now, everyone in Dragon City knew that the Lian family and the Gong family were separated by two walls.
Some people even saw them as the same group.
And this was exactly the effect she wanted to see.
"Unfortunately, some people will not let us get what we want so easily."
Gong Si raised his eyebrows and smiled innocently.
"Then, let's get rid of them all."
The dim light of the setting sun gilded her face with a touch of color.
Her smile, however, contained too many deep meanings. It also endowed the light with many gorgeous colors.
"Well, let's wait and see."
The two smartest people in the Gong family had a tacit understanding to start an era that belonged only to the Gong family.
It was just the beginning.
The last snow before the New Year covered the entire Dragon City like goose feathers.
The people of Dragon City, who were used to seeing pure white, could not help but hide in their houses and live a leisurely life.
Of course, this was only for those who were rich and powerful, and their houses were full of firewood and food.
On the road, there were slaves piling up snow again.
But this time, they were no longer wearing thin clothes and were sallow and emaciated.
It was said that half a month ago, the newly appointed official was very kind and specially reported to the court to explain the pros and cons.
That was how these slaves were able to live a good life.
They were full and warm, and their work efficiency was also higher.
In just one night, there was no trace of snow on the main street.
Although it was still snowing, the slaves were organized. Several teams of people took turns to work on the street, which greatly ensured the safety of the vehicles.
Lin Mengya finally went out today. She sat in the Yuqing Restaurant and chatted with Cai Ling.
"These slaves are really useful. They are so efficient in clearing the snow. If they do something else, they must be very neat."
It was very hot in the room. It was said that the heating facilities here were designed by Cai Ling, the great talent.
Even though the windows were open, she felt very hot.
She took off the fur cloak and changed into a plain unlined dress. But she was still hot, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her face.
"Be careful not to catch a cold. I heard that you had a cold when you came here, didn't you? Why don't you learn from your lesson? "
Gong Si said with a smile. Although Lin Mengya knew that it was not good, she still could not bear the temperature inside.
She did not know what was wrong with the two people. They were wearing more clothes than her, but how could they sit so steadily?
Especially Cai Ling, there was not even a drop of sweat on his pink face.
Envious and jealous, a certain someone glared at Cai Ling, forcing Cai Ling's face to turn red.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Gong. I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I am extremely afraid of the cold. Or I'll ask them to reduce the coal, so that you don't feel uncomfortable. "
After that, Cai Ling wanted to call for help, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
"Don't, don't, don't. I can stand the heat, but not the cold. In fact, I envy you. If you didn't have to receive guests here, I would like to stay here and not leave. Although our house isn't cold, it's nothing compared to yours. "
Lin Mengya was sincere. In the Liuxin Courtyard where she used to live, it took a lot of effort to bring warm soup over in winter, so the ground was slightly warm.
Not to mention that skilled craftsmen were specially hired to renovate the house, so it was not much different from here.
It was winter, so it should look like winter, right?
"If you like it, I'll ask someone to send you a few heaters. I made these little things when I was free. Put the heaters in the four corners of the room, and don't cut off the charcoal fire in the morning and evening. Although it is not as cold as here, it can be like the height of spring, without any coldness. When spring comes next year, after you leave, I'll ask someone to repair all of you. I promise, it will not be cold again, ok? "
Perhaps he was too happy, so Cai Ling only realized that he had lost his composure later.
But Lin Mengya didn't give him time to be shy.
"That's a deal. You're really a treasure. If you can leave Dragon City, I'll let you go out and have a look. The mountains and rivers outside are so magnificent. A talent like you will definitely do many things to benefit the people. "
Lin Mengya did not know that when she said these words, her eyes were shining.
And that light was exactly what Cai Ling was looking for.
Although he yearned for it, he accepted the reality earlier than anyone else.
