Chapter 139 The Fourth Brother Has Become Alienated from Me
Nie Peilan gritted her teeth and turned to look at Zhu Feng. Sure enough, she saw that he was hesitant, as if he was moved by Gu Yuehuai's words.
Du Yanran's face also turned pale. Looking at the soda in the cup that was almost overflowing, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
She originally wanted to use her connections to get close to the governor's son from the capital and cultivate feelings with him. But now, everything has gone down the drain. Maybe some rumors that are unfavorable to their family will spread!
Zhu Rongrong glanced at Du Yanran and sneered, "You deserve it!"
This Du Yanran has always been arrogant since she was a child, with her nose held high by the sky. Relying on Du Jin's identity, she is very domineering in the compound. She and Du Yanyun often bullied her in the past, trying to take advantage of the situation. Haha, she really deserves it!
Zhu Rongrong smiled happily, and liked Gu Yuehuai even more in her heart. She also made up her mind to make friends with him.

Gu Yuehuai didn't care whether Nie Peilan's farewell party could be held smoothly. She wasn't full either, so she bought a few freshly-baked sesame cakes and ate them with relish.
Gu Zhifeng held the warm pancake, her face full of guilt: "Nannan, it's Dad's fault. I shouldn't have brought you here."
Gu Yuehuai frowned: "What are you talking about, Dad? The state-owned restaurant is not opened by Nie Peilan. We can come and go as we please. No one can control us. Besides, do you think I am at a disadvantage?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.
He had always thought that his daughter was a little girl who indulged in enjoyment and had to be protected by him, but he didn't know when the little girl grew up and was able to protect him from the wind and rain.
After returning to Huangying Commune, Gu Yuehuai checked the time and said, "Dad, go back by yourself. I have to go to work."
Gu Zhifeng nodded, but before he could say a few words of instruction, Gu Yuehuai had already run away. He shook his head with a smile, sighed softly, and walked quickly towards home.
However, he was stopped by someone after taking just two steps.
Gu Tianfeng shouted loudly: "Zhifeng, Zhifeng, wait a minute!"
Gu Zhifeng was stunned and looked back, then he saw Gu Tianfeng riding a bicycle, pedaling hard and shouting at him, with a person sitting on the back seat. When the bicycle stopped, he could see the person clearly.
"Big sister?" Gu Zhifeng was a little bit incredulous. She didn't understand why Nie Peilan would catch up with her and call her to task.
Gu Tianfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained in a low voice: "You guys are running too fast."
Gu Zhifeng was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Nie Peilan's mind was in a thousand twists and turns, and suddenly an apologetic look appeared on her face: "Fourth Brother, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't teach the child well that Yue Huai got so angry. Don't mind it, and talk to Yue Huai later. Anger is bad for your health."
Gu Zhifeng pursed his lips and said nothing. He was not a person who would beat around the bush, otherwise he would not have ruined his family in the first place.
He couldn't control his daughter's feelings, and he couldn't control whether she was angry or resentful.
Seeing that he remained silent, Nie Peilan's eyes flashed with an angry look. Of course, she didn't come here to apologize. With tears in her eyes, she held Gu Zhifeng's hand and said, "Fourth Brother, are you also angry with my eldest sister?"
Gu Zhifeng was a little at a loss, but she didn't break free from Nie Peilan's hand.
Gu Tianfeng was watching from the side, also very confused. In his memory, Nie Peilan was very disdainful of dealing with Gu Zhifeng. Even after all these years, she never asked any more questions, as if she was afraid of dirtying her mouth. What happened today? He recalled what happened at the state-owned restaurant just now, and felt that Nie Peilan would hate Gu Zhifeng's family even more. Why did she let him bring her here? What did this mean?
Nie Peilan knew that Gu Zhifeng had softened her attitude. Her eyes flickered, and she wiped away the moisture from her eyes. She said, "Look, after so many years of not seeing each other, the fourth brother has become estranged from me. How about this, find a time for you to come to my house for a meal. I'll host it, and we can have a good chat, okay?"
Gu Zhifeng's lips moved, not knowing whether to respond or not, but Nie Peilan had already made the decision: "Okay, we have a deal. Come tomorrow at noon. You guys come and wait at the gate of the County Revolutionary Committee."
Gu Zhifeng glanced in the direction of the Masses Daily and shook her head, saying, "Nannan still has to go to work, so she doesn't have time to go."
Nie Peilan paused. This was the fish she wanted to catch. How could she not come?
Her voice sank, and she said unhappily, "Old Four, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for your eldest sister? Have you forgotten who held you, fed you, and coaxed you to sleep when you were a child?"
What she didn't say was that the reason she did so much when she was a child was just to please her adoptive parents. If she wanted to continue to support her life as a young lady, she had to be doubly nice to Gu Zhifeng, her only biological child.
Of course, all these good things now seem not useless. At least Gu Zhifeng does not treat her without any feelings, right?
Sure enough, under Nie Peilan's verbal attack, Gu Zhifeng finally softened her mouth, but still hesitated and said, "I can only talk to Nannan about this matter. If she doesn't have time to go, I will go by myself."
Nie Peilan didn't say anything else. She understood the principle of playing the long game to catch the big fish.
She had just realized that Gu Yuehuai was a stubborn girl and could not be easily persuaded. She would have to resort to extraordinary means. The only one who could threaten her was the fool Gu Zhifeng.
Nie Peilan smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll cook some delicious food for you tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Tianfeng drove her away. Gu Zhifeng looked at her elder brother and elder sister, and her heart was warmed, as if she had returned to her childhood, when the four brothers and sisters sat around a small stove, reading and telling jokes together.

When Gu Yuehuai returned to Masses Daily, everyone had finished their lunch break.
She returned to her seat and continued with the work at hand. Nothing special happened. Before leaving get off work, Wei Luo came over and asked her how she was adapting today and also looked at the illustrations she drew today.
Wei Luo looked at the vivid and humorous illustrations in his hands and nodded with satisfaction. After seeing them with his own eyes, he finally felt relieved: "Very good, keep up the good work."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said calmly: "Thank you, editor-in-chief."
Being neither arrogant nor impatient is a good seedling worth cultivating.
Wei Luo added this label to Gu Yuehuai in his heart and was very satisfied with the person nominated by the commune this time.
As soon as she left, the office was in an uproar.
Wan Qinglan said excitedly: "Editor-in-Chief Wei is famous for being gentle on the outside but strict on the inside. She rarely praises others. The words I hear most are: 'The manuscript is not good, go back and rewrite it'!"
Huang Binbin also said with emotion: "Yes, Yue Huai, you just arrived, but you have surpassed all of us. Maybe you will be the leader of our group three in a while."
This sensitive topic caused the atmosphere in the office to stagnate slightly. Not everyone is as heartless as Wan Qinglan and Huang Binbin.
Gu Yuehuai smiled, but his voice was calm: "As a brick, I will move wherever I am needed. If the editor-in-chief needs me, I will work hard, make progress, and bring glory to the unit. Everyone's efforts will not be in vain. Everyone is not blind. Work hard. The position of team leader will be awarded to those who are capable. Let's work hard together."
She can be modest, but she will not deliberately shirk responsibility, as that would be too hypocritical. Since she has entered the unit, she naturally has to plan for her future. No one wants to stay in the position of a clerk forever.
