The car was a bit stuffy, and the people inside were also a bit restless.

The man sat lazily in the car, his long arm casually draped over the window, a cigarette between his slender, pale fingers.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the slanted shadows trembled slightly, making his handsome face appear to be in and out of light.

She glanced at the time, her starry eyes narrowing slightly.

The man deftly flicked away his cigarette butt, then pushed open the car door and got out.

The tall, elegant figure walked slowly towards Mingyue Tower.

As Gu Jueye walked outside 304, he heard a familiar scream.

"Ouch, Dad, go easy on me... go easy on me..."

Gu Jueye paused slightly on his handsome face, then reached out and grasped the doorknob, pushing the door open.

inside the house

Ji Cong'an's arms were restrained behind his back by his father, like a criminal being caught, and his head was slammed hard onto the dining table.

Qin Lao and Bai Qianmo sat at the table, one slowly sipping tea, the other with her head down playing on her phone.

They all acted as if it were none of their business.

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Qianmo slightly raised her eyelids to look towards the door.

Then a handsome and upright figure stood at the door.

Bai Qianmo's beautiful face paused slightly.

It was only a second, gone in the blink of an eye.

Then, he buried his head and continued playing on his phone.

Gu Jueye pushed open the door and quickly glanced at the scene.

His gaze swept over Bai Qianmo, his deep eyes like a still, stagnant pool, without a ripple.

Neither of them paid much attention to the other, as if they were two complete strangers.

"Grandpa, Uncle Ji."

Old Qin placed his teacup on the mahogany table and gave Gu Jueye a cold glance.

"You little brat, you actually know how to come back? I thought I wouldn't see you again before I died."

Gu Jueye toned down his cold aura and was unusually sensible.

"You're still going strong for your age."

Old Qin gave a soft snort, his face showing slight anger, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

Compared to the troublemaker Ji's son, their own grandson was a bit aloof and difficult to approach, but overall he still brought honor to the Gu and Qin families.

As people get older, they all hope to have their children and grandchildren by their side. Although I complain that this young man has been gone for five years, as an elder, I am still very happy to see his achievements today.

Old Qin was happy to see his beloved grandson.

Ji Yeting, on the other hand, felt quite uncomfortable.

They were all kids who grew up in the same compound, so why are they so different?

Without realizing it, he punched harder.

"Oh, Father, if you kill me, you'll be cutting off the family line. Even if you don't care about me, you should at least think about the ancestors of the Ji family."

Ji Cong'an, whose face was already bruised and swollen, cried out in a muffled voice.

Today, he has completely lost face in front of his sister-in-law.

"Even if I beat you to death, I'll have a successor, you don't need to worry about me." Although he was being defiant, the fist that came down was much softer.

Ji Cong'an cast a pleading look at Gu Jueye.

He added a complaint: "Damn it, if it weren't for helping you pursue your girlfriend, would I have been caught red-handed by my own father?"

Can I get beaten up until my face is bruised and swollen?

Can you?

Gu Jueye received an angry shout from Ji Cong'an.

He looked at Ji Yeting with a calm expression: "Did he make a mistake again?"

Ji Yeting blushed, feeling both ashamed and angry.

He released his large hand from Ji Cong'an's back, but still not satisfied, he slapped Ji Cong'an on the head again.

This calmed the fire down a bit.

He tugged at his collar, pulled out a tissue, and wiped his sweaty face.

He then sat down in a chair, panting, and picked up the now-cold tea in front of him.

He gulped it down.

Gu Jueye's handsome eyes shifted to Ji Cong'an.

Ji Cong'an said indignantly, "It's Xie Gouzi who deserves a beating!"

The teacup slammed heavily onto the table with a "bang".

Ji Yeting glared coldly at Ji Cong'an: "Even if he caused a huge mess, it's his father, Xie Yuanzheng, who will clean up his mess. What business is it of yours? You beat him so badly that he's still in the hospital."

Bai Qianmo glanced at Ji Cong'an with indifferent eyes. He was beaten up like this, yet he didn't feel wronged.

Ji Cong'an grinned, unconvinced, and tried to make excuses for himself.

Gu Jueye asked, "How are Xie Gouzi's injuries?"

Xie Gouzi, whose real name is Xie Siming, is another troublemaker in the compound.

Among the children of the same age in the compound at that time, Xie Siming was most afraid of Gu Jueye and most hated Ji Cong'an.

The deep-seated hatred between Xie Siming and Ji Cong'an is said to have started from their first love.

It's simply a story about two boys who both fall for the same girl, and rivals meeting and getting extremely jealous.

The two had a tragic fate; they were classmates in junior high and high school and fought fiercely for many years.

In the end, it no longer mattered who won the girl's heart; saving face for both of them was more important.

Even though they are now adults, the feud between Ji Cong'an and Xie Siming has not only not been resolved, but has instead intensified.

Ji Yeting rubbed his throbbing temples: "Luckily, no bones or muscles were injured. It's just that the Xie family is making a big fuss and they're unwilling to reconcile easily."

Gu Jueye remained silent for a moment.

"Leave this to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days."

Ji Yeting's eyes lit up. Xie Yuanzheng was most wary of the Gu family. If a member of the Gu family stepped forward, Xie Yuanzheng would have to give Gu Jueye face, no matter how unwilling he was.

"It would be best if the Gu family could step in, hehe, nephew, it would be too much trouble for you."

"No trouble at all!" Gu Jueye replied casually.

Having resolved his son's major problem, Ji Yeting's expression finally improved.
