Chapter 185 Little Ranran is Going to Be Depressed
Upon hearing the news, Gu Yulin was somewhat troubled: "Third brother, what do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. Has anything important happened in the Gu family recently? The old man's birthday banquet has already been held once, is there another one?" Lu Jingxiao asked.
At the last birthday banquet for Grandpa Gu, he only went back for two days. He only showed up at the very end of the banquet and then flew away the next day, as if he had never returned.
At that birthday banquet, the old man seemed to have just come back to check in and complete a task; even Uncle Gu's family didn't come back.
This is a good opportunity.
Gu Yulin was still somewhat unwilling to accept it. He couldn't believe that his third uncle could get involved with Zhao Tingguo. They had already exposed him before, so why was he still so stubborn?
"Third brother, I don't think so. Uncle promised Grandpa he'd treat Weiwei and Beixiao well, so he probably won't make a move. Could we... wait and see about this? I..."
Gu Yulin was worried that since they had just promised his third uncle but now didn't trust him, it might backfire and cause him to develop a rebellious mentality, ultimately leading him to do something that would harm Weiwei.
Lu Jingxiao frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Who do you think we should believe?"
Gu Yulin fell silent. If he were to act rationally, he would definitely believe his third uncle's words and believe that his third uncle was capable of such a thing. However... his emotions told him that if his third uncle repented, perhaps he could be given a chance.
But now... it seems that won't work.
He exhaled heavily: "Sorry, I was worrying unnecessarily. I know about this. My mother's birthday is in a few days, but she doesn't plan to celebrate. I'll discuss it with her."
Gu Yulin seemed to remember something: "Third brother, your birthday is coming soon, aren't you going to celebrate?"
Lu Jingxiao's lips twitched. He suspected that the boss in front of him had been possessed. He couldn't understand something like this.
"Do you think anyone would dare to tamper with my birthday party?"
Gu Yulin: "......"
He is definitely mentally ill.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked such a question. I'm truly impressed.
If anything goes wrong at the birthday banquet of a powerful figure in Beijing's elite circles, none of them will survive.
Lu Jingxiao had other ideas. A birthday celebration was definitely in order, but... he didn't want it to be just a simple birthday celebration...
"You handle this matter. You have to do it well, make it high-profile, the more people know about it the better, and you also need to involve your third uncle."
Li Huaijin chimed in, "Boss, if you don't resolve this, Xiao Ranran will become depressed."
Gu Yulin: "......"
How can this be attributed to Gu Youran?
No... what does this have to do with Li Huaijin?
"Second brother, aren't you meddling a bit too much?" Gu Yulin reminded him quietly, "Your plans... are a bit too ambitious."
Li Huaijin felt a little guilty, but his nature was to be confident even when he was in the wrong: "How am I meddling? Isn't solving this problem solving your troubles? Isn't it helping the old man out of his worries? How am I meddling?"
The more he talked, the more convinced he became of his point, even looking at Gu Yulin with an air of self-righteousness.
"If I remember correctly, you just said that Xiao Ranran is going to become depressed. Who is Xiao Ranran? Is she also related to this?"
Li Huaijin: "......"
Did he just say that? Can he deny it?
"You must have misheard me. When did I mention Xiao Ranran?"
Li Huaijin vehemently denied it.
"Boss, you must have misheard me. I never said that. I..." Li Huaijin made a tactical escape. He stood up and straightened his tie. "Since it's nothing serious, I'll be going. Just let me know when you've done your job and I'll cooperate."
If we don't leave now, given the boss's keen insight, he'll die here today.

Meanwhile, Gu Youran finally seized the opportunity to ask Luo Zhiwei out shopping. She gave Weiwei a warm hug and said, "Weiwei, my darling, I really missed you so much! We've hardly seen each other since you moved into Lu Jingxiao's house, sob sob..."
Lu Jingxiao did it on purpose. He knew that she lived far away from his villa, but he still brought Weiwei to live so far away. Wasn't it because he was afraid that she would bother him?
snort...
Luo Zhiwei also felt that it was a long time ago that she and her best friend went shopping together.
"I'm sorry, that villa is too far away, and I'm at work right now..."
Gu Youran quickly interrupted Luo Zhiwei, knowing that if they continued talking, Weiwei would feel guilty.
"What are you talking about? I'm not blaming you. I just missed you. Last time we had dinner, Lu Jingxiao treated me like a thief."
Just thinking about it makes me feel so resentful.
However, Lu Jingxiao was simply too powerful, and she really had no way to compete with him for Weiwei.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Maybe I should just shut up.
If she were to say anything more, Ranran might become even more defensive.
"You have all my time today. Whatever you want to do, I'll be there for you, okay?"
Gu Youran's mood improved a little. Weiwei was still the most reliable one, always by her side.
Gu Youran immediately took Weiwei's hand and said in a very generous manner, "Today, everything is on me!"
The two sisters walked into the mall hand in hand. Gu Youran seemed to be engaging in retaliatory spending, leaving a record of her purchases in almost every store.
If I see nice clothes, I buy them.
If I see beautiful jewelry, I buy it.
If you see something delicious, buy it.
Gu Youran bought so many things that both she and Luo Zhiwei were covered in shopping bags.
Gu Hanchi happened to see this scene, and Butler Wang pushed Gu Hanchi to stand in front of Luo Zhiwei.
Gu Hanchi looked at the bags and packages in their hands and couldn't help but feel a sense of scorn.
This is what they call not caring about the money spent on family matters. So what are they buying in big bags and small packages now?
They talk a good game but are more enthusiastic about buying things than anyone else.
Luo Zhiwei was indeed up to no good. Even if she were a member of the Gu family, he would not allow her to enter the Gu family's gate.
Luo Zhiwei's good mood vanished instantly, and she gave Gu Hanchi a cold look.
The group remained in a stalemate, with no one uttering the first word.
Finally, Gu Hanchi couldn't help but speak first: "Weiwei, you don't even greet your third uncle? Is this the kind of upbringing the Luo family gave you?"
"Aunt Luo is the best person in the world, so naturally her daughter is excellent. Why didn't Weiwei greet you? Doesn't Third Master Gu have any idea?"
Gu Youran had no qualms whatsoever; she had no intention of letting this murderer get away with it.
She should seize the opportunity to retort while she still can, because she won't have another chance once he's been sent to jail.
"You... Miss Gu, you're quick-witted, but clearly ill-mannered. What business is it of yours that I'm talking to Weiwei?"
Gu Hanchi glanced at her disdainfully, not taking Gu Youran seriously at all.
"I admit I'm ill-mannered." Gu Youran chuckled, her sarcasm rising sharply: "Third Master Gu, can't you see that my Weiwei doesn't want to talk to you? Even so, you still make trouble for yourself. You really... are shameless."
Gu Hanchi's face darkened, looking extremely ugly. He looked up at Luo Zhiwei and said sarcastically, "If I remember correctly, Miss Luo's salary at Lu's is 50,000 a month. That shouldn't be enough to buy any of the things you have. Is this what you mean by... not wanting to return to the Gu family and not wanting their money?"
