Meng Fuyan was relieved; this was much better than the situation in her previous life.
"That's good. Did they read the letter? What did they say?"
"They knew what was going on, what else could they say? In those days, it was common for even close relatives to report each other, let alone those people abroad who just stood by and watched. They went through this whole ordeal, saw things clearly long ago, and calmly accepted it."
Meng Fuyan nodded, understanding.
I'm not planning to interfere too much. As long as the other party knows what's going on, that's fine. After all, their blood relation is closer than ours, and saying too much would only backfire.
Gu Tingzhi didn't return home until the third night. Meng Fuyan hadn't been home for the past two days, staying at her parents' house. The clothes were almost finished, and after dinner that night, the two of them went home together.
The two barely spoke the rest of the way. The clothes Meng Fuyan had made were in a bag, which Gu Tingzhi held in his hand, looking down at them with an inscrutable expression.
After washing up, Gu Tingzhi went to his study to work for a while. Seeing that it was late, Meng Fuyan brought a cup of hot milk to the study.
"It's so late, aren't you finished with work yet?"
Seeing her come in, Gu Tingzhi looked up and smiled, "Why did you come over? Haven't you been sleeping?"
Meng Fuyan said helplessly, "I heard that the matter has been resolved, and I was worried that you might be upset!"
Gu Tingzhi's smile softened even more. He pushed his work aside, reached out to her, took the milk from her hand, placed it on the table, and pulled her over to sit on his lap and hug her.
"Didn't I tell you not to worry about me? I do regret what happened between Mom and my older brother, but it's already happened, and so many years have passed. I'm not going to be depressed about it."
Meng Fuyan wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft and gentle, "I know! But I'm your wife, how could I not worry! Is everything completely over now? What did the Gu family say?"
Gu Tingzhi played with her fingers, his voice muffled, with a hint of sarcasm, "Although I think I went a bit too far, I still acquiesced. My grandfather may not be much else, but he still has influence. If he hadn't acquiesced, I wouldn't have been able to resolve this so easily."
He had done these things in his past life and had long since seen through these people, so he wasn't really bothered by them.
Many things in this life have been accelerated, and he became the ultimate winner at a young age. But no matter how beautifully he won, his elder brother and mother will never come back. There will definitely be regrets.
However, this little girl seems to care about herself very much!
Gu Tingzhi looked at the person in his arms, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Actually, I'm quite sad. Why don't you comfort me?"
Meng Fuyan immediately replied, "Sure! What do you want?"
Gu Tingzhi rested his head on her shoulder, suppressing a laugh, "Give me a child. I have no relatives in this world except you. I'm so pitiful. Nobody cares about me."
Meng Fuyan: "..."
He drank the hot milk on the table, then picked up the person and stood up.
Soldiers are incredibly strong; they can lift someone weighing over 100 pounds, sit down, and stand up without even breaking a sweat.
"Let's go have a baby."
Meng Fuyan: "..."
She didn't press Gu Tingzhi about how he would deal with Gu Tao next, because she knew that Gu Tingzhi wouldn't touch Gu Tao for the time being. He was his biological father, and if he were to touch even his own father, his good reputation would suffer, and his career would be affected.
It's not worth jeopardizing your future because of Gu Tao now that things have come to this!
When Grandpa Gu was alive, he wouldn't have touched Gu Tao; he would have let him retire peacefully.
As for what will happen to Gu Tao after Old Master Gu passes away, it's hard to say. By then, Gu Tingzhi's position will be secure.
In his past life, Gu Tao was eventually dealt with by Gu Tingzhi. When he did so, he showed no mercy, just like when his elder brother died, Gu Tao didn't care at all.
The door closed, the night was deep, the window was half open for ventilation, and wisps of wind occasionally blew in, causing the layers of curtains to flutter slowly.
In early winter, it's already quite cold outside, but the temperature inside is just right.
Under the warm yellow light, the girl's delicate and fair skin was visible.
Gu Tingzhi's large hand gently stroked her back, his eyes filled with infatuation.
Meng Fuyan lay on the bed, turning her head. In her confused and infatuated state, all she could see was the man's chest rising and falling.
Her back was covered in beads of sweat, which dripped down and landed on her back, mingling with her sweat as they slid into the sheets.
The person I've loved for two lifetimes is right in front of me, how wonderful!
"Mom said my third brother is getting engaged, and I'll be doing it tomorrow..."
She had meant to say that Lu Xingming's marriage was settled, and her mother had said they would go shopping together tomorrow. She needed to get up early tomorrow and not stay out too late.
As a result, the man on top of her worked even harder, and she became disoriented and unable to say a word.
"Is he getting married too? Then I need to work even harder, otherwise, if my child is born later than theirs, how will they be the eldest?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
The End —
