The person who came in was Xiao Yan, Gu Zhenggang's wife.

She is staying at her parents' house these days, mainly because Mr. Xiao misses his daughter, and even more misses his granddaughter Gu Liuyan.

Due to the old man's age, the whole family kept the news of Gu Liuyan's death from him.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to stay with the old man and make up lies about his daughter Gu Liuyan going abroad to film a movie.

Anyway, if you can hide it for a day, it's a day. If you really can't hide it anymore, then make plans.

She entered the dining room, saw that everyone was there, and simply said: "It just so happens that the family is all here. Let me tell you something and you guys can analyze it."

Gu Hongyan quickly moved a seat inside, pointed to the empty chair next to her and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, sit down and talk." He also poured a glass of warm water for Xiao Yan and placed it in front of her.

Xiao Yan sat down, picked up a glass of water and moistened his throat, and then said: "A few days ago, when an important person visited my old man, he mentioned the matter of Gu Chuang..."

Before Xiao Yan could continue, Gu Zhenggang immediately complained: "Why are you talking about such an important thing now?"

Xiao Yan explained: "The old man forgot about it. He thought of it and said it casually before eating. I didn't delay. I was afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone and I didn't even bother to eat, so I came to tell you."

Gu Zhengchuan said to Gu Zhenggang displeasedly: "Don't interrupt, Xiao Yan, please continue, how did that person evaluate the Gu Chuang incident?"

"He said it's time to take care of these third-generation ancestors. Some people are shameful and do things that are out of line."

Li Yuanlang didn't know who this person was, but Shui Qingzhang shook his two fingers and asked Xiao Yan, "Is this the person?"

"Oh." Most people, including Li Yuanlang, understood what the two fingers represented.

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but interject and analyze, "Bai Qing mentioned that there was a dispute, so her family is leaning towards us."

"Yes, your analysis makes sense." Shui Qingzhang agreed decisively.

Gu Zhengchuan and Gu Zhenggang also nodded in agreement.

This is good news, at least it gives everyone a glimmer of hope.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and as the whole country celebrates this traditional festival, the Gu family's New Year's Eve banquet contained no laughter, only frowns and heavy worries.

Li Yuanlang's cell phone was always on, and he took it out from time to time to see if there were any calls or messages from Bai Qing.

After this dull dinner, when Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue were talking in her room, Shui Tingyue asked him worriedly: "Husband, what will happen to our family if you are really dismissed from your post or transferred to a casual position?"

Li Yuanlang persuaded disapprovingly: "I will be thirty-five soon, and I have experienced ups and downs in life. When I was marginalized, I was very depressed at the beginning. I often went out to drink and get drunk."

"Later one time, Tianhou scolded me because of his drunkenness."

"The Marquis of Heaven scolded you!" Shui Tingyue, who was lying on Li Yuanlang's lap, suddenly sat up and asked in surprise: "Why have I never heard you talk about it?"

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly, "This is not a shameless thing. I tell you what to do."

"Tell me quickly, why did the Marquis of Heaven scold you?"

Li Yuanlang touched Shui Tingyue's silky hair and murmured: "The Marquis of Heaven scolded me for not living up to expectations and said that I looked decadent, just to find material for people who wanted to see my jokes. They just wanted me to be like this. They

Only then will you be happy.”

"Tianhou also said that no matter how bad I am, I am still the deputy director of the Bureau of Veteran Cadres and a deputy section-level cadre. The salary I receive is not low. Compared with ordinary people, at least I have enough food and clothing."

"People must learn to be content in this life, and only those who are content can always be happy. I am living in a muddle-headed way, and it is myself who is ultimately hurt. God will not have any mercy on me because I am not good at memorizing words, but it will ruin my mood.

, all bad things, including physical diseases, will come to your door one after another."

Li Yuanlang continued with emotion: "I thought about it carefully later, and Tianhou's words made sense. Since then, I cheered up. The unit did not assign me specific work. I found things to do by myself, found fun in work, and slowly adjusted my mentality.

Okay, so I contacted you later..."

"Honey, I am better than that now and better than that time. Even if I come down, what's wrong with being an ordinary citizen? When I saw Bai Qing today, I found that all the customers in the coffee shop were...

Disguised as a bodyguard to protect her."

"Although Bai Qing's status has been improved, and even her protection level has been raised, I can't see a trace of happiness on her face. The place where she lives is heavily guarded, and mobile phone signals are blocked. I feel like she is in a cage.

It’s almost there.”

"We live in this world where people get along with each other. We get along with our parents when we are born, we get along with classmates and teachers when we go to school, we get along with colleagues and leaders at work, and we get along with our spouse and children when we get married. After all, we cannot escape this circle."

"When we get along with people, we will come into contact with all kinds of people. There are good people, bad people, and people who are neither good nor bad. Contact with them can bring into play our wisdom and adjust our mentality. We

We are happy, we are angry, or we cry, these are the experiences, feelings and emotional intelligence improvements we enjoy in the process of getting along."

"However, when our status and status rise to a certain stage, you will find that you come into contact with fewer people, and you will not meet many different kinds of people. All you will meet are submissive and obedient people. They are not

To be afraid of you is to be afraid of your power."

"Sometimes I wonder, is it better to live like this, or to become an ordinary person and come into contact with more sincere people? In fact, I am very conflicted."

"Of course, if you become that kind of person, your living standard will improve and you won't have to worry about food, rice, oil and salt. But when you get to that point, who cares about what you eat, what you wear, and how big a house you live in?"

"When ordinary people sleep, they can fall asleep when they want to. But for people like that, before going to bed every night, they will think about many things and people, and they will think about things that we ordinary people can't think of."

"For example, I am just a county magistrate. Before I go to bed, my mind never rests and there are many things to think about. I have never told you that I used drugs to force myself to sleep. I am only thirty-five years old.

, I have a tendency to suffer from insomnia at such a young age, and it’s not because I’m in this position, I can’t just sleep when I want to, I can’t even make my own decisions when I sleep, I feel sad and pitiful when I think about it.”

Li Yuanlang said so much in one breath, Shui Tingyue looked at her husband with wide eyes, stretched out her hand to touch Li Yuanlang's cheek, and said worriedly: "Husband, I didn't expect that you have so many troubles and bitterness. I heard

Taking that kind of medicine will damage your brain. You are not allowed to take it in the future. If you take it badly, what will happen to me and the children?"

Li Yuanlang grabbed her hand, stroked it tenderly, and said with a smile: "I couldn't sleep at that time because troubles always happened in the county and they never let me calm down. It's better now. Jin Sheng is the secretary and works with me.

The two of us are close friends, and he is my big brother. We are of the same mind, and there is no intrigue and intrigue. We can only work together to manage Daiding County well and develop it well. I will not be tired, at most I will be busy."

"My heart is tired and my body is hurting, but I still keep fit while busy." Li Yuanlang joked easily.

Shui Tingyue was lying firmly on his lap. It was almost midnight.

Since fireworks are banned in Beijing, the atmosphere of the New Year is missing. In silence, the couple waits for the start of the new year.

At the same time, in the bedroom where Mr. Gu once lived, the lights were dim, and Ah Cai and Gu Zhengchuan were communicating in low voices.

"Young Master, does your face still hurt?"

Gu Zhengchuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's all my fault that I hit you too hard and hurt you. I apologize to you."

"Brother Cai." Gu Zhengchuan understood: "I know you are doing it for Li Yuanlang and Shui Qingzhang. This is a painful show. Otherwise, Li Yuanlang will not be able to vent his anger, and he will not help.

Even Shui Qingzhang will not agree."

Ah Cai gently patted the back of Gu Zhengchuan's hand and sighed: "My master once told me that I must ensure that the Gu family brand does not collapse. With this brand, the children and future generations of the Gu family will be able to live without food and clothing forever.

worry."

"I understand you, Brother Cai. You are loyal to our Gu family. I have always treated you as my own brother. However, our brother and sister did too much last time and should not have driven you away. I never expected that something would happen to the Gu family.

You can still come back to take charge of the big things, and our brother and sister have remembered this."

Gu Zhengchuan's words were full of guilt, and his expression was full of remorse.
