Happiness is always short-lived, but in two days, news came from the Gu family.

Elder Gu is awake.

"I'm sorry little Ze, daddy will bring you out to play next time when he has time, okay?" Gu Jinchi pinched his little face and glanced at Su Qinglan with the same guilt.

It was a cherished opportunity for the whole family to get together in a hard-won way, but because of the news of Gu's family had to ...

"It's okay." Su Qinglan shook her head, "It's good that the old man woke up, Xiao Ze, we'll come out together again sometime."

The two spoke together, and Zee's face looked a little better, blinking a little, "No kidding? Then you guys have to tell me when the next one is first."

This ...

Su Qinglan made a mistake and looked at Gu Jinchi.

After a few moments of silence, Gu Jinchi glanced at the calendar and asked for her opinion, "Do you have time for mid-autumn?"

"I'm all right, not that busy." Her work wasn't that busy compared to Gu Jinchi, so it was a good thing that she had more opportunities to spend time with Xiao Ze.

"Okay, mid-autumn then." He nodded and rubbed Zee's hair in a messy way, "When the mid-autumn festival comes around, wherever you want to go, daddy and mommy will accompany you together."

"Okay, I'll grudgingly agree then." Zee hugged her arms and frowned as she fixed her hair back up, yawning as she leaned to the side to catch up on her sleep.

Today's news came really a bit suddenly, the news came in the early morning, they used the fastest speed to pack up and come back only at dawn.

Looking at the fish-belly white color of the sky, Su Qinglan's eyelids danced fiercely twice.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if the lack of rest was the problem, her eyelids kept fluttering.

"If you're sleepy, rest a little longer, I'll send you guys back first." Gu Jinchi glanced at Xiao Ze, who was already asleep, and said softly.

"You're going to start getting busy again when you get back, aren't you, so close your eyes and rest for a while too." She cared twice and closed her eyes.

But sleepy as she was, she couldn't sleep, and the uncomfortable feeling didn't even put her in a very good mood anymore.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jinchi leaning there looking in her direction.

The two lines of sight fell together and she was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, ... it just feels good to be out together as a family." He smiled, something vaguely lost in his demeanor.

It's a little late for him to catch up.

What you didn't cherish before, you have to work twice as hard to get back now.

It was at this juncture that Elder Gu woke up again, and it wasn't clear whether to say it was a fortunate event or whether to say it was unfortunate.

Anyway, he also had a bad feeling.

"Zee's having fun too." She smiled, hiding the emotion in her gaze and glanced back at Zee, "Spend more time with him if you have time."

Ze's age is the time when he needs companionship.

The little one is happy to sleep with a smile on his face after this trip out together.

Looking at his sleeping face, perhaps because of happiness, she had a soft smile on her face as well.

Gu Jinchi swayed for a moment and also agreed in a deep voice, "Good."

Even though she had said she could drive back with Ze, Gu Jinchi insisted on dropping them off at home.

The traces left behind by Gu Jinchi's previous cooking had already been removed, and the home was restored to its original state.

Even the pots and pans that had left their mark had likewise been replaced.

The nanny seemed to have received the notice a long time ago and was already busy in the kitchen, when she saw her she smiled, "Madam you are back, I prepared a little bit of noodles, in a while you can eat a little bit first together with the little young master."

It was only at this time that she remembered that not long ago Gu Jinchi had confirmed with her what she liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat.

He still remembered everything about her hobbies and tastes.

But looking at the kitchen she was still a little frustrated.

I still feel a little nostalgic for the day Gu Jinchi messed up the place.

...

Gu Jinchi relied on a cup of strong coffee brewed in the car to dissipate his fatigue, and when he arrived at the hospital, he was still the unsmiling and thunderous Mr. Gu.

Long-waiting people had filled the hospital corridors, clean-cut suits with unfriendly faces looking at him.

He hadn't even given them a proper look since the beginning and went straight into the hospital room.

Although Elder Gu had woken up, his face and condition were still very poor, pale as paper as if the wind would blow gently and there would be some kind of accident.

Gu Zhanyan accompanied him, and when she saw him coming, her face sank for a moment, "You still know to come back?"

The smell of smoke filled the air, and the atmosphere seemed to explode at the slightest point.

But Gu Jinchi just glanced at him and sat on the edge of the bed after giving a light snort of disbelief, "Grandpa, how are you feeling right now?"

"Still alive." Elder Gu was struggling to catch his breath, and the words came out breathless.

"Where have you been?" Gu Zhanyan helped the old man up and looked over with cold eyes.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" He snorted, oblivious to Gu Zhuyan's words that tried to stir up the atmosphere.

Looking at Elder Gu on the bed, who was a far cry from the spirited old man he was before, his heart felt a little bad.

But the shallow relationship with Elder Gu would, at best, make him feel sorry for people's old age, sickness and death.

"Grandpa wanted to see you when he woke up, but how long did you put it off? Gu doesn't have anything that you need to deal with lately, right?"

Gu Zhanyan's aura was arrogant, and it had changed quite a bit from the previous one who was still polite to him.

It seems to be the tail of the fox there is already about to hide.

"Gu Zhanyan, if you're fine, either Ran go out or Ran shut up and stay here quietly."

He had already been kind to him politely, and there were still things with Su Qinglan and Fu Lao's side that hadn't been dealt with, but it was almost certain that all of these things couldn't be disconnected from Gu Zhenyan.

When he investigated those things clearly, let's see how long Gu Zhuyan could still be arrogant.

Elder Gu couldn't listen to the noise and waved his hand with a cold face, "Honorable, you go out first, I have something to say to Jin Chi."

Although Gu Zhuyan was still a bit reluctant, but naturally, this was Master Gu's order, so he could only give Gu Jinchi a cross look and turned to guard the door.

Only then did Elder Gu raise his eyes to look at him, there was a touch of sharpness in his divine light, "What did you go and do during this time?"

"I need to hear a report on your work during the time I was unconscious."

He was able to guess that too, so he was ready for it on the way.

Only after the report was finished did Elder Gu cough twice, still serious and stereotypical, "You did a good job, but you still haven't told me why you didn't rush over yesterday?"

"I have things to take care of." He frowned.

But Elder Gu was to get a clear picture, his eyes coldly looked over, "Tell me the truth, are you still in contact with that woman?"

The woman in his mouth could only be Su Qinglan alone.

Regarding this matter, Gu Jinchi was undeniable, "Yes."

"It shouldn't be illegal for me to spend time with her and Ze in my free time, right?"

Elder Gu sneered. "You think you've learned to drill holes in me?"

"I don't have a problem with you wanting to accompany Xiao Ze, you're father and son, it's only right that you need to be taught. But that woman, don't even think about letting her into the Gu family's door again."

The words he said were tantamount to the fact that even if he was able to win Su Qinglan's heart once again, he would not be able to be recognized by the Gu family.

Instant anger surged up from his heart, which he tried his best to contain, but he could also make Elder Gu's dissatisfaction audible in his voice.

"Why are you so prejudiced against her? What's the reason? She's my son's mother, why can't she be the Gu family's rightful young grandmother?"

Elder Gu coughed twice more, "Her status is not worthy of you, and this matter of you having a child if I had known about it in the first place, I would never have allowed this child to come into this world!"

"I've already identified the right woman for you, I've already talked to Toki Rui last night before you came back, she'll be willing to accept Zee, even if you still need a child, she'll still treat Zee as if he's her own."

"It's not like you guys didn't have contact when you were kids, you know better than me what kind of girl she is."

These words didn't evoke any good feelings in him towards Shirui, instead he only felt upset.

From being able to meet Su Qinglan, to the point where their relationship had eased a little, to being able to watch her smile in front of him once again, how much had he given?

And now he's going to be told to give up the woman he loves on the basis of this flippant comment about being unsuitable and unworthy?

On what grounds?

He wasn't a soft touch to be pinched now.

"I refuse." He clenched his fists, trying to calm himself, "The woman you see is not the one I see, and being suitable is not about getting married, and the one I love is always the one I love."

"I won't marry Shirui, and Xiao Ze won't accept Shirui, instead of thinking about these business alliances that no longer have any value, it's better to think about the problems Gu is facing right now."

For the elders, he could only use this official statement to try to cut off those thoughts that Master Gu shouldn't have.

Sadly, he couldn't even prove Su Qinglan's identity with absolute words at a time like this.

Elder Gu had just woken up and couldn't withstand any blows or emotional conflicts, if anything else happened, the people outside would hate to immediately pour in and eat him alive.

"You!" Elder Gu looked at him angrily, and before he could say anything there was another violent coughing fit, "I'm telling you, it's not your turn to make your own decisions about your marriage."

"If you're not willing to do so you shouldn't have come back if you ran out back then, and now that you're back it's not your turn to make up your own mind as long as I'm alive!"

Perhaps because he sensed something, Elder Gu's attitude was particularly strong.

He finished with another choking cough.

Gu Jinchi frowned, looking coldly at the man in front of him who was already accustomed to being overbearing and dictatorial, "For Gu to sustain itself, it needs a reliable leader, not a woman."

"For Gu to rely on a marriage with a woman to maintain a relationship is a joke."
