When Jiang Meilan and her mother first came to the Ling family, Ling Han did not treat them well. After all, Wen Qingwan had just passed away for less than half a year. Ling Dongming suddenly brought in a pair of mother and daughter, and did not even inform him beforehand. This made him somewhat uncomfortable.
So that year, he did not return home much and lived alone outside. If it wasn't for the fact that the Old Madam wanted to see him during the New Year, with his personality, he probably did not intend to have any interaction with Ye Huanyan and the others.
That year, in Ye Huanyan's eyes, he was a taciturn person and an ice-cold older brother who was not easy to get along with.
And after eight years of companionship, his original bright and charming characteristics were exposed bit by bit. In those eight years, he was her omnipotent Big Brother Ling Han.
After that, Ling Dongming and Jiang Meilan passed away in a car accident, and he accidentally found Wen Qingwan's diary. Such a big mess was directly placed on his head. Before he could find any way to vent, Ye Huanyan bumped into him and climbed into his bed without a care in the world, shouting that she wanted to marry him.
How much he loved her before, how much he hated her after that, and how much he regretted it after that.
Ling Han did not dare to think about how much damage these cruel times had brought her. When he thought about the details of the past, he felt that he was not worthy of her anymore.
"You used to talk a lot in the past, but it was also in those two years that you became less talkative."
Ling Han continued, but there was bitterness in his voice. "Yan Yan, I'm sorry."
The person in his arms stiffened.
After a while, there was a nasal laugh. "You might have to keep those three words. It's a little early to say it now. It's not too late to say it when we get there."
Not long after that, Ye Huanyan felt a heavy force on her shoulder, followed by a low voice. "Mm."
This time, they were going to the Four Seasons Manor.
Ye Huanyan had just brought the film crew back to China for half a month. She had just finished explaining the editing process when she received news from her parents at the villa. Gu Heng had personally called her and wanted her to bring Ling Han back. At the same time, Wen Yi's dissatisfied grumbling could be heard from the other end of the phone.
"Why did you bring him back? He dirtied my house for no reason. I will beat that kind of person up every time I see him. "
Wen Yi didn't like Ling Han. She didn't hide this fact.
She mumbled to Gu Ling, "I'll see how it goes. I'll ask him if he's free."
As soon as he said this, Wen Yi became even more noisy, probably because the other end was on speaker. "What is he busy with? What can a small company be busy with? If he wants to be my son-in-law, let him show some sincerity. Busy my ass."
"Alright, alright, his company isn't small …"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Ling was comforting her. She could hear the helplessness in her voice.
"Yan Yan, regardless of whether he's busy or not, bring him here. Your brother will be back in two days. We can have a meal together as a family."
"Uh huh, okay."
Ye Huanyan had no choice but to agree.
Before she hung up the phone, she heard Wen Yi shouting at the top of her lungs, "What family? Old Gu, you're getting more and more ridiculous with your words. Is that bastard our family?"
After she hung up the phone, Ye Huanyan sighed faintly. Her family didn't like Ling Han so much because she looked like a ghost when she came back. And Ling Han couldn't shirk too much of the responsibility for that.
She had originally planned to consider this matter after the movie was completed, but she hadn't expected Gu Heng to call her directly.
And from Wen Yi's words, even if she didn't like Ling Han, since he had the intention of reconciling with her daughter, she couldn't hide it from them. She had to go through them first.
After they got off the plane, the Gu family arranged for a car to pick them up and take them to the dock. The Four Seasons Villa was on the island, so it was considered private property. Without the Gu family's cruise ship, it was basically impossible to get there.
When Ling Han first came here, he waited bitterly for a week in Los Angeles. Thinking about it, that was a few months ago.
Before entering the villa, Ye Huanyan gave Ling Han a heads up. "My mom has a short temper. My brother said that it's all because my dad spoiled her. You have to go along with her later. No matter what bad things she says about you, don't go against her …"
Ling Han smiled bitterly. "Do I look like I have that kind of confidence?"
"But you don't have to go along with her too much. You should avoid her when you need to. My mom is the vice president of the Pistol Association …"
"She's the president." Naonnao, who was holding Ye Huanyan's hand, corrected her. "Grandma told me about it in a video call last night. She's been a full-time employee for a long time."
"It's okay. Even if she really shoots me twice, I won't dodge."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan's eyes trembled slightly. Along the way, she deliberately said a lot of things about how her parents were difficult to get along with. In fact, she just wanted to scare Ling Han and play a joke on him. She didn't expect him to be like this, so she didn't know what to say.
Naonnao curled the corners of her mouth and revealed a disdainful smile. "Are you stupid? You didn't even dodge when you were hit. Grandpa definitely doesn't like you."
Ling Han's eyes froze, and she stuttered, "Is … is that so?"
It was quite difficult to please everyone in the Gu family. For example, Ye Huanyan's biological brother, Gu Sinian, had a lot of hostility toward Ling Han. If she wanted to please him, she could only rely on Ji Xiaoyue. Fortunately, Ji Xiaoyue was his former employee, and he took good care of her. He had also helped her a lot in her work over the years, so he would reluctantly give her face.
Besides, Ye Huanyan's biological mother, Wen Yi, was the only daughter of a world-class jewelry master and the only successor. It was not the first time she heard that she had a strange temper. This was related to her early experience of 'wandering' around the world with her father in her early years. She had a very shrewd eye for people and was very difficult to deal with.
Her father, Gu Heng, was now the behind-the-scenes leader of the Gu Financial Group. Although the entire financial group had been handed over to Gu Sinian, his two titles of 'Wall Street Financial Tycoon' and 'Stock God' were not just for show. Ling Han's impression of him stopped at the framed old newspapers of famous people in the world. One of them was already yellowed. At that time, it was still a black and white photo. In the photo, Gu Heng was gentle and elegant.
This newspaper was an interview from the New York Times more than 30 years ago. It was also the only public information about Gu Heng.
At the entrance of the villa, six different models of cars were parked in a threatening manner. In front of the car closest to Ye Huanyan and the others, eight assistants wearing white gloves and suits stood in two rows in front of the car door. They were all dressed in the same uniform and looked very majestic. They had the posture of a gang. The leaders were the siblings, Gu Liu and Gu Min. When they saw Ye Huanyan, they bowed respectfully at 90 degrees. "Hello, Second Miss. Hello, Young Master."
The people behind them also bowed in unison and shouted as if they had rehearsed, "Hello, Second Miss. Hello, Young Master."
This majestic array scared Ye Huanyan so much that her legs went weak. Gu Min was the closest to her and helped her up. "Second Miss, are you okay? Are you seasick? "
Ye Huanyan glanced at her and thought to herself, I'm not seasick. I'm just seasick.
