At the gate of the compound.

Lan Guoxiong went straight to the door and handed over his ID. After the guard confirmed it, he registered, saluted and let him pass.

He took Madam Lan's hand and recalled with her: "Old lady, do you remember this place? I brought you here once before."

Madam Lan nodded. "I remember. It's been so many years in a blink of an eye."

The family she came to that time was the Zhai family. She and Old Madam Zhai were close friends when they were young. She had been a guest at the Zhai family once, but she had never been there again since her death.

Lan Guoxiong pointed to the front door of the Zhai family and said, "Let's go find Old Zhai first."

Compared with Mu Hongtao, he has a closer relationship with Zhai Shixiong, and because both of them have the word "Xiong" in their names, he is often teased by his comrades.

He went straight into Zhai's house.

Zhai Shixiong came forward after the guard informed him. When he saw him, his eyes turned slightly red and he walked forward and hugged Lan Guoxiong.

"Lan Daxiong, Lan Daxiong, you haven't been to Beijing for many years..."

Zhai Shixiong patted Lan Guoxiong's back heavily, his voice full of joy but trembling slightly.

"Ah, are you annoying? I'm here now."

Lan Guoxiong pushed him, and Zhai Shixiong snorted: "If you didn't have something to do, you would have come here. You never showed up at the comrades-in-arms gatherings in previous years."

He glanced back at Madam Lan and greeted her with a smile, "Sister Jiang, long time no see."

Madam Lan smiled and nodded, "Brother Zhai seems to be in good spirits."

Lan Guoxiong waved his hand, "Okay, stop chatting. What does Old Mu want to talk to me about? Is there something wrong in Beijing?"

Seeing the fighting spirit in his eyes, Zhai Shixiong couldn't help but laugh, "You have been retired for too long, and you are idle. What can we old guys with one foot in the coffin do? Our country is not without people."

"What's that?"

Zhai Shixiong sighed, "Your son's matter,"

"Ah?" Lan Guoxiong got a little anxious after hearing what he said, and pulled him towards the Mu family, "Did our youngest get into trouble? Was he beaten up? Or did he beat up someone?"

As he walked forward, he turned back and yelled at Lan Lufeng, "Watch out for your grandma."

Lan Lufeng responded, holding Madam Lan's arm and slowly following behind him.

At this time, Fu Xiao was sitting in the yard and chatting with Grandpa Mu, while Yi Ning was reading a high school book next to them.

A deep voice was heard from afar, "Mu Hongtao, Old Mu, is my youngest child okay?"

Fu Xiao looked at Grandpa Mu, "Grandpa, what is this?"

Mr. Mu stood up with a smile, "It's that old fellow Lan Daxiong."

She nodded and glanced at Yi Ning who had paused beside her.

Before Mr. Mu reached the door, Lan Guoxiong had already walked in. Seeing him, he grabbed him and asked, "Hong Tao,"

Before he could ask, Mr. Mu spoke up: "Your youngest son is fine."

Lan Guoxiong was relieved this time and smiled meaningfully, "What do you need my help with? Just tell me, and I'll do it for you."

Old Master Mu looked at him like he was crazy, "Nothing happened at my house, it was your house that was robbed."

"Our house wasn't robbed," Lan Guoxiong scratched his head, wondering, "Nothing was stolen from our house."

Mr. Mu was so angry at his foolishness that he pointed at Yi Ning and said, "Look who this kid is?"

Yi Ning looked up at this moment, and their eyes met.

“This…this…”

Lan Guoxiong suddenly couldn't stand and leaned back. After being supported by Mr. Mu, his face was full of grief. "Hongtao, you should have told me this secretly."

This face is so similar to his wife's when she was young. Is this the debt his wife owed from having affairs outside?

But even so, he couldn't bear to leave his own wife. It didn't matter, he could forgive her.

But why is Mu Hongtao so ignorant?

Is this something that can be said openly?

Mr. Mu looked at him calmly, wanting to know what he could say.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by his next words.

"Even if my wife has someone else outside, how can we live like this?"

"What?" Mr. Mu looked at him blankly, "What do you mean?"

Lan Guoxiong pointed at Yi Ning with a shaking hand and said with great sorrow: "It's obvious that this is the child of my old woman. I..."

He held Mr. Mu's hand tightly and said through gritted teeth: "I can forgive my old woman, but who is the adulterer?"

Grandpa Mu's face was a little distorted. This old guy really hasn't made any progress at all. His train of thought is too twisted. No wonder he was plotted against.

He pushed Lan Guoxiong away, looking like he didn't want to talk to him any more, and walked aside.

He came to Zhai Shixiong and asked quietly, "See? It's still the same as before."

Zhai Shixiong covered his mouth with his hands and replied: "He just saw the child and didn't think of it for a moment."

"Come on, he's just stupid. Who would think his wife is cheating on him? Looking at the boy's age, you should have guessed it was your son, but he is so stupid. I don't know how my sister-in-law will deal with him this time."

As she spoke, Old Madam Lan came in. She had bound her feet for a period of time when she was a child, but had them removed when it didn't work. Although her feet were not deformed, she still couldn't walk fast.

She walked in, and Grandpa Mu came forward with a smile, "My sister-in-law is here... Come here, let me tell you, Lan Daxiong just... "

"Mu Hongtao," Lan Guoxiong stopped him from saying the next words and glanced at Madam Lan cautiously. But then he thought again, he was obviously not wrong in this matter, and coughed lightly: "I can recognize the child, but..."
