Became a vicious male mother

303

Changgu villas are not much to be given up.

The place was abandoned everywhere, with fallen leaves covering the ground. As Gu Xinglan stepped on the ground, she discovered several work badges hidden under her feet.

These tags were originally worn by villa butlers and servants, but now only the tags remain; the people are nowhere to be found.

hall.

Li Shengwa sat upright, holding a teacup in both hands, his eyes glancing at the person sitting opposite him from time to time.

The man opposite him looked somewhat dejected, with stubble growing on his chin. It was Li Taihe, who suddenly looked much older.

“Li Taihe”.

Gu Xinglan called out.

The person slumped in the sofa, lost in thought, holding a photo in their hand, as if trying to see a hole through it.

After looking around for a while, Li Taihe finally looked up and said, "Shengwa, didn't you want to go to other places? Let's go."

There were only the two of them in the hall.

The water in the teacup was ice cold. Gu Xinglan boiled water to brew tea again, but when she was about to pour out the tea leaves, everything in the tea box was moldy, so it was no longer suitable for brewing tea.

"How long have you been gone? Why is the villa in such a mess?" Gu Xinglan frowned, noticing that several tea boxes she had opened were in the same state.

It's either moldy or bugs have gotten inside.

"This villa is going to be sold."

Li Taihe tapped the table with his arm, indicating that Gu Xinglan didn't need to make tea anymore.

Despite the Li family group's continued prosperity and the steady rise in its stock price, Li Taihe appeared dejected, with messy hair and a wrinkled shirt.

Gu Xinglan really wanted to ask Li Taihe why he wanted to bring down all those big bosses, and what the point was of doing these things that made him look like a monster.

In business, there will always be cooperation. Since there is cooperation, if one company suffers losses, other companies will also suffer losses. It is impossible to stand aside and be a bystander.

He glanced at Li Taihe and brought up a casual conversation.

Li Taihe seems to miss Jiang Tong's Li family.

When he spoke of Le Jianbai teaching Le and Thai guns.

The man opposite laughed out loud, "I almost forgot, that gun is still with me."

The matte gold-plated gun sat on the coffee table.

Gu Xinglan remained in a daze for a long time.

The barrel was extremely short, and the silver gun body was engraved with delicate snake patterns. The platinum card that was originally hanging there had disappeared.

"Here, hide this well. If it gets discovered, things will get really serious."

He swallowed hard and carefully took it. "Li Taihe, did something happen to you?"

"I should say that we have finally accomplished some things," Li Taihe said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

We left Changgu.

When Gu Xinglan and Li Shengwa returned to Jiangtong, it was already the morning of the next day.

White banners and white wreaths were hung outside the Li family's house.

Li Shengwa was dressed in bright-colored clothes, which made him stand out from the crowd, so he couldn't help but grab Gu Xinglan.

"Someone must have died."

The idea that funerals are held only when someone dies is as good as saying nothing at all.

They only found out when they went inside.

"What?! Applying ahead of schedule?!"

For a moment, Li Shengwa's expression crumbled.

"How can there be such a thing as holding a funeral in advance? What are you all doing, cursing people to die early?!"

Li Yuan stroked his beard.

He patted Li Shengwa on the shoulder, then turned to Gu Xinglan and said, "You've come this far, go and rest first, I'll explain later."

They were away for several years, and when they came back, everything had changed.

Gu Xinglan went to Li Jianbai's courtyard first.

Fortunately.

The place remains the same as before, with Chinese medicinal herbs planted outside and the same rocking chair in the yard. In addition, many more evergreen plants have been planted there.

However, the owner here is even more tired than before.

He recently had a video call with Li Jianbai.

Li Jianbai was always seen either in hospitals or on beds.

room.

It smelled strongly of medicine.

The person lying on the bed had a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and extremely chapped lips.

Li Jianbai grew increasingly haggard.

“Xiao Bai…” Gu Xinglan forced a smile and took off her coat.

"The room is so dark, why don't you have the maid come and turn on the light?" He touched the light switch in the room.

"No need to open it."

The person on the bed said hoarsely, "Those servants dare not come here; I cannot force them."

Li Jianbai, who was lying on the bed, saw Gu Xinglan's profile and felt a sweet warmth in his heart. He was eager to change the subject to the two of them. "Were you busy yesterday? Why didn't you answer my video call?"

"Don't even mention it, there's no signal at your brother's place."

Who knew that there was no signal at all in the villa in Changgu, and even using mobile data was very slow. I could only use my phone when I went outside.

It was already evening when they took the train.

How could I possibly bother a patient at night?

Gu Xinglan tucked the blanket around Li Jianbai on the bed.

"Do you know what's going on outside? They suddenly have to hold a funeral, and Uncle Yuan even said it was to be held ahead of schedule."

Li Jianbai propped himself up and sat up.

His eyes were fixed on the person sitting by the bed, almost making Gu Xinglan's eyes pop out of them.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Xinglan touched her head, somewhat embarrassed. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you more."

It turns out that the funeral outside was for Li Hetai's grandfather. The old man couldn't hold on any longer, probably because it was a recent event, and he insisted on being put into the coffin ahead of schedule.

"What about Li Hetai's grandmother?"

Gu Xinglan thought of the photos she had obtained a few years ago in the cave above the water room.

He asked Le Seng Wa to give the photo to Le Thai Ho, but after Le Thai Ho took it, he had no intention of returning it to Le Seng Wa.

It was, after all, a photo of Li Taihe's parents, so naturally it should be kept by Li Taihe.

"Can we not talk about other people...?"

Li Jianbai sniffed and tried to rest his head on his lap.

There is a slight indentation on my thigh.

Gu Xinglan flinched and quickly stood up.

The movements were too exaggerated.

The person on the bed was taken aback, and tears instantly welled up in their eyes.

"Ugh, I'm dirty, I haven't cleaned myself yet."

“It’s not dirty, it’s actually very clean.” Li Jianbai turned his head and exhaled softly.

"Never mind, you're definitely going to see my nephew anyway..."

Gu Xinglan, who had been mentioned, looked somewhat uneasy.

He did want to see Li Hetai first.

Li Hetai will be an adult in a few months, his mission is about to expire, and it will soon be time for him to meet his end.

The next second, I heard, "You can't see him. The fact that he can talk to you on the phone every night is the maximum freedom I've managed to secure for him."

Gu Xinglan, who already knew this, wasn't surprised at all.

Li Hetai would sometimes whisper this to him on the phone.

"If we can't meet, then so be it." He sighed with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianbai's lifeless appearance lessened considerably, his eyes lit up, and he began to look at him expectantly again.

She was happy almost instantly and grabbed his sleeve tightly.
