Chapter 208 Return Home

Gu Huaichen's words can be understood in many ways.

First, he did not do this. The problems with Zhao Kaiji's project had nothing to do with him.

Secondly, the Zhao Kaiji incident was indeed related to him, but he only played a guiding role, and the path was chosen by Zhao Kaiji himself.

Of course, no matter which one it is, Lin Youning will welcome it.

People like Zhao Kaiji who are lawless and have no regard for law should be punished by law.

"Is the Zhao family really powerless to save the situation?" Lin Youning confirmed with Gu Huaichen.

Gu Huaichen hummed, "The hole he poked is too big, the Zhao family can't help."

This matter was reported to the higher authorities. If the Zhao family dared to do anything, the entire family would be brought down. Although the old man of the Zhao family loved Zhao Kaiji, his grandson, and doted on him, he was not the only child of the Zhao family.

Even without Zhao Kaiji, there are still other people in the Zhao family.

Gu Huaichen told Lin Youning that Zhao Kaiji had a half-brother who was adopted outside. He had always been suppressed by Zhao Kaiji, but now he finally had a chance to turn things around.

So even if Gu Huaichen no longer puts pressure on him, Zhao Kaiji's younger brother will still take action.

Therefore, Zhao Kaiji was really in trouble this time, completely in trouble, and no one could save him.

Lin Youning: “That’s great.”

She couldn't help but say, "Don't let people like this harm society."

Gu Huaichen smiled.

"Not worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Lin Youning asked, "Zhao family's revenge?"

Gu Huaichen: "Not really, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

Lin Youning said "oh" and asked with a smile: "Then what should I worry about?"

Gu Huaichen raised his hand and rubbed her head without saying anything else.

About half a month later, Lin Youning heard from Su Ran that Zhao Kaiji was sentenced to jail.

After the news spread, most people in the circle were happy to hear it. Although there were many second-generation and third-generation rich people in their circle who were dissolute and idle, there were not many who were like Zhao Kaiji, who were really arrogant.

Everyone is a little afraid of Zhao Kaiji. This guy is so crazy that you don't even know when you have offended him and when he will retaliate.

Su Ran and Lin Youning said that only Gu Huaichen and Liang Jingyan were not afraid of the Zhao family or Zhao Kaiji. The others were a little afraid, after all, the Zhao family was rich and powerful.

These days, having money is nothing to be afraid of; having power and talent is what people worry about the most.

“…”

The matter of Zhao Kaiji was discussed for a while after dinner, but then it passed.

We all have to live our lives, and no one will always pay attention to other people's gossip.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Lin Youning is now unable to get up every morning to go to work. If it weren't for her love for dancing, she would really want to stay at home and be a salted fish.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.

This year, Lin Youning still spent New Year's Eve with Gu Huaichen, Wen Ci and other good friends.

We all went to the suburbs to set off fireworks and stayed there for two days.

After New Year's Day, Gu Huaichen became even busier. He flew abroad on business trips several times and was so busy that he had no time to rest.

However, every time he came back, he would bring back some gifts from the auction for Lin Youning, such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. He prepared all kinds of jewelry for Lin Youning, which made Lin Youning very happy.

She really likes these things.

Before the Lunar New Year, Gu Huaichen and Lin Youning accompanied their daughter Gu's father to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods again.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the two did not go anywhere, nor did they meet up with Wen Ci and others. After having a reunion dinner at home, they watched the Spring Festival Gala with their grandfather.

The two of them planned to travel abroad on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so they wanted to stay at home as long as possible.

Not surprisingly, Lin Youning received New Year's gifts from her family.

The people in the Gu family still treat her like a child.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen's family went to the temple first. After coming out of the temple, they went to the cemetery.

It had been a while since I last visited the cemetery. When I came again, Lin Youning felt that he had a lot of things to say to Zhao Tinglan.

Knowing that she had something to say to Zhao Tinglan, Gu Huaichen put the flowers down, called her "Mom", said a few more words, and then walked to the other side.

"I'll wait for you there, you can chat with mom."

Lin Youning nodded, "I know."

After Gu Huaichen walked away, Lin Youning looked at the person on the tombstone and smiled, "Mom, Happy New Year."

She bent down, looked up at Zhao Tinglan's photo, and said softly, "All of a sudden, you've been away from me for more than half a year."

Speaking of this, Lin Youning felt a little sad.

She pursed her lips slightly and asked curiously, "Are you okay over there?"

The cemetery was silent and no one responded to her.

Lin Youning got used to the tranquility.

She wanted to sigh, but then she remembered what Zhao Tinglan had told her before, that one should not sigh easily, especially at the beginning of the new year, as it is easy to sigh away the good luck of the year.

Lin Youning was not that superstitious, but she wanted to hear more from Zhao Tinglan.

Holding back the urge to sigh, she began to tell Zhao Tinglan about her life in recent times. She talked about a lot of happy things and also talked about the difficulties she encountered at work.

He also mentioned his friends.

"I'm telling you, last time I accompanied Gu Huaichen to a banquet, I ran into Mu Yueling. She was competing with me for beauty again, and it was so annoying." Lin Youning said, "But I don't really hate her that much anymore. When you passed away, she even sent me a few messages to comfort me."

Lin Youning said softly, "I know why she and I have been at odds since we were little. I thought she was too fake, and she thought I was too happy."

The happiness that Mu Yueling envied was given to her by Zhao Tinglan.

Similarly, Lin Youning also understood why Mu Yueling was fake. The Mu family she belonged to was even worse than the Lin family. At least she had Zhao Tinglan. Mu Yueling's biological mother was not much different from her father. Neither of them cared about her. If she was not fake, she would not be able to live.

Maybe because she had grown a year older after the New Year, Lin Youning found that her thinking had become a little more mature, and she didn't want to argue with Mu Yueling anymore.

After talking to Zhao Tinglan about Mu Yueling, she also mentioned Su Ran, Wen Ci and others.

Finally, it was Gu Huaichen.

Speaking of Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning raised her hand and waved it towards Zhao Tinglan, saying with a smile, "Mom, look at the New Year's gift that Gu Huaichen gave me. I like this ring very much. Do you think it looks good?"

Lin Youning talked to himself, talking about a lot of things he had done with Gu Huaichen and the gift Gu Huaichen gave him.

We even talked about last night's reunion dinner.

At the end of the conversation, she told Zhao Tinglan, "Mom... I'm fine now."

The only bad thing is that she no longer has a mother.

She missed Zhao Tinglan.

“…”

Lin Youning chatted with Zhao Tinglan for a long time in front of her tombstone, until her legs became numb, and she had to end the conversation today.

"It's getting late. Gu Huaichen and I have to go home." Lin Youning and Zhao Tinglan said, "We will come to see you again in a few months. Remember to miss me."

After saying this, Lin Youning reluctantly walked towards the other end where the people were waiting for him.

The man who was waiting for her, when he saw her walking towards him, couldn't wait to step forward, walked towards her and caught her, "Have you finished talking to mom?"

Lin Youning nodded.

Gu Huaichen reached out, held her, and interlocked their fingers. "Then let's go home and come see her again later."

Lin Youning was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The sunlight lengthened the two people's figures, and they left hand in hand, heading towards home.
