Sun Yuqi was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Grandpa Mu and Grandma Sun and said with a smile.
"Grandpa Mu, Grandma Sun, I came to Beijing this time with my comrades from the army to help them with a small favor. I'm currently staying at the military district's guesthouse and will probably be back in the next two days."
After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, the old couple finally felt relieved. Living in the military district guesthouse, they were naturally assured of safety.
"Girl, you must study hard when you go back. If you don't understand something, ask the little girl surnamed Lin, okay? You'll need what you learn soon."
Grandpa Mu looked very serious when he said this. Sun Yuqi naturally understood what Grandpa Mu meant immediately and nodded.
"Grandpa Mu, don't worry! I've been working hard these past two years. You know I went to the countryside before I finished high school, so I've been working very hard these past two years."
Grandpa Mu nodded. When he first met this girl, he noticed that she was very hardworking. He was quite confident in Sun Yuqi. He had just said that.
Sun Yuqi stayed at Grandpa Mu's house until the afternoon before leaving. At Grandpa Mu's house, she learned that Grandpa Mu and Grandma Sun had both resumed work, but had not yet started formal work. It was estimated that they would have to wait a little longer. However, the old couple had now received subsidies from the government and had no shortage of food and drink.
The next day, before dawn, Sun Yuqi came to Beijing again and went straight to Lan Tianhe's house. When Sun Yuqi arrived, Lan Tianhe and Zhao Kang were talking in the yard.
"Girl Sun is here. Here are the keys to this yard and the house. This yard will completely belong to you from now on."
Sun Yuqi smiled as she took the key from Lan Tianhe.
"Grandpa Lan, where do you live now?"
"Well, I have an ancestral home not far from here, only about ten minutes' walk away. Why don't you follow me over now to take a look and get to know the place? Then you can stay at Grandpa Lan's house when you come to Beijing next time."
Sun Yuqi thought about it and thought that Grandpa Lan’s status should not be very low. It would never be bad for her to make friends with Grandpa Lan, so she said.
"Okay, I like Grandpa Lan very much, so let's go and take a look. If I want to visit Grandpa Lan in the future, at least I won't be able to find him, right?"
Lan Tianhe burst into laughter. How could he not see through Sun Yuqi's little thoughts? Regardless of the relationship as old friends or as a person, Lan Tianhe still liked Sun Yuqi very much. Putting aside their relationship as old friends, he had learned from Zhao Kang in the past two days that this girl had a very good character, so he invited the girl to his home.
The three of them locked the courtyard gate and walked into the alley. After a few minutes, they exited the alley and walked onto another street. After walking for another ten minutes, they finally arrived at Lan Tianhe's ancestral home.
This is a standard northern quadrangle courtyard with two courtyards in the front and back. I took a rough look at the number of rooms. There are three rooms in the north of the main house, two ear rooms on both sides, three side rooms on each side of the east and west, and several back rooms as soon as you enter the courtyard.
"Grandpa Lan, your yard is quite large! Look at this house, it's very well maintained."
Lan Tianhe sighed in his heart: This girl has a sweet mouth and is good at talking.
"Well, this is the house passed down from my ancestors. It took a lot of effort to preserve it over the years."
When Sun Yuqi heard Lan Tianhe say that it took a lot of effort to keep the yard, she had an idea in her mind. In the turbulent times a few years ago, it was considered a great achievement to be able to keep the yard.
While Sun Yuqi and Lan Tianhe were wandering around the courtyard, Gu Xueyuan returned home.
After he received the treasures the day before yesterday, he took people to arrange them properly. It was already this morning. After he finished his work, he returned home.
Gu Tingyan happened to be resting at home at this time, and you were very surprised to see him come back.
"Aren't you busy? Are you done yet?"
Gu Xueyuan said "hmm" and sat on the stone bench beside him. He poured a cup of sour plum soup from the teapot on the stone table and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at his son's appearance, Gu Tingyan was very curious. Where did he get upset?
"What's wrong with you?"
Looking at his frowning father, Gu Xueyuan put down the cup and said.
"Dad, Yuqi has come to Jing City. She was brought here by that villain Lu Chen to protect the treasure. I know that they encountered more than one robbery on the way to Jing City. This means that Yuqi has also faced several robberies."
As Gu Xueyuan spoke, he watched Gu Tingyan's expression change from surprise at first to anger and surprise.
Another important reason why Gu Xueyuan came back so late was that he was investigating Sun Yuqi's past and her unpredictable abilities.
After investigation, he couldn't figure out where Sun Yuqi learned those skills.
Gu Tingyan sat there thinking for a while before speaking.
"Do you know why she got involved in this?"
Gu Xueyuan poured another cup of sour plum soup and drank it before speaking.
"I asked that kid Lu Chen, and he said that he was the one who tricked her into coming with the grandchildren of Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Lin to escort the treasure back to Beijing."
Gu Tingyan listened to everything and then made his analysis.
"It seems that both sides understand the situation now. It's just a matter of willingness. I think Yuqi wanted to come to Beijing, and Lu Chen just gave her an excuse. From what I know about Yuqi, she's not someone who can be easily influenced."
"Now that girl has come to Beijing, I think she wants to do something. Of course, she won't come to see us."
Gu Xueyuan smiled bitterly.
"Dad, you guessed right. She didn't come to see us. The day before yesterday when I took over the treasure, she saw me. I could tell from her eyes that she was still unfamiliar with me."
Gu Tingyan was not surprised to hear Gu Xueyuan say this. It was normal for the girl to refuse to acknowledge what the Gu family had done in the past. However, although he wanted to acknowledge the child, he was afraid it would be difficult. The last time he went to see her, the girl's words were very resolute. It was obvious that she had never thought about recognizing the Gu family, including himself and his son.
"Forget it, let's not bother her and just go along with her wishes! I was wrong, so let's not force it."
Gu Xueyuan didn't know what to feel. To say he had any affection for Sun Yuqi was a lie; even he didn't believe it. But to say he didn't feel bad for Sun Yuqi being tricked by Lu Chen was also a lie. He knew the dangers along the way, and how could Lu Chen not know? He was really angry at the time, so he and Lu Chen had a fight.
