Chapter 921: Why are you such a simp?
Gu Yin glanced at Gu Le, then looked away: "There's nothing magical about it. Maybe it's God taking care of us, seeing how miserable our family is, so He gave us a chance. Or maybe someone paid a heavy price to give us another chance."
Heavenly Dao: "...What does this have to do with me? When have I ever done such a good deed?"
001 couldn't sit still any longer and immediately stepped in to correct: "It's not God! It's my master! Humph!"
Jin Wanli glanced at 001, then at the brother and sister, and shook his head with a smile: "No, you were arranged by them, but your brother wasn't."
Gu Yin was surprised, and so was Gu Le.
He always thought the two were the same!
"Who are they?" Gu Le asked Gu Yin.
Gu Yin explained, "My benefactor, this cannot be explained in detail."
"So, my brother was an accident? He's the protagonist of this world?" That's what novels always say. People with this kind of rebirth opportunity are usually chosen ones.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao transformed into a butterfly and landed on Gu Le, carefully examining the child.
Jin Wanli shook his head: "No, he was just lucky and found a loophole."
"Good luck? Me? Hahaha, with my utterly miserable life in my past life, you call that good luck? If this so-called good luck means my whole family's lives were exchanged for a second chance, I'd rather not have that kind of luck." Gu Le laughed angrily. Really, he really didn't want that kind of luck!
Jin Wanli shook his head: "Everyone has their own destiny, but destiny can be changed. Your current choices and the direction of your efforts will affect your future luck. Without your sister, where would all of this come from? If I could take you back to the beginning, would you choose your past life or this life?"
Gu Le thought of his miserable family in his past life, and then of his happy family in this life, and he fell silent.
His silence represented his choice. Jin Wanli chuckled: "Any choice you make will affect your next step. Once you've made a choice, don't try to romanticize the path you haven't taken. How do you know that the path you didn't choose will be better than this one?"
"The past is no longer important; what matters is the present and the future. There's nothing to dwell on. Let's carry the bamboo shoots and bamboo back home, or Grandma will come and scold us!"
Gu Yin bent down to pick up the bamboo shoots from the ground. She was reluctant to talk about her past life; what's past is past.
Gu Yin snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this and nodded, "Okay."
Jin Wanli watched the brother and sister slowly disappear into the distance and shook his head helplessly: "A pure and kind soul is rare. Little thing, did your master also take a fancy to her soul?"
001 flew to Jin Wanli and said angrily, "That's not true! It was Chu Yan who exchanged his own soul! It has nothing to do with Gu Yin! Don't talk nonsense! Don't try to sow discord! My master is not one of those heartless gods!"
Jin Wanli thought of Chu Yan, whom he had seen before, and nodded: "Although he is not as good as Gu Yin, he is still a person of character. I have been here for so long, why has your master not appeared yet?"
001's eyes lit up: "What, do you want to be a mission taker? If you want to, I can register you first, and my master will examine you when he has time."
Jin Wanli ignored 001's words and followed Gu Yin and the others.
001 pursed her lips and flew back to the memory of the sound in her mind.
What did you say to your senior?
001: "I made him the mission taker. He's so capable, being a mission taker will definitely bring my master a lot of merit points!"
Gu Yin: "...Your master is so good to you." He's spoiled rotten!
001 blinked: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. By the way, has there been any news from the Medicine Sect? And what about that guy who said Senior Jin was his ancestor?"
010 sighed: "There's still no news."
"Let me know if you have any news."
"This place is so pleasant! Sitting here, enjoying the breeze, having barbecue, drinking a little wine, and fishing, this positive energy can last for a month! Grandma Gu, if I'm ever in a bad mood, how about I come here to dig up some soil and plant some vegetables?"
"No problem! You can come anytime!"
Gu Yin looked towards the pavilion, where everyone had already taken out their things. The kitchen area was open-plan, with a spacious connecting area of about 20 or 30 square meters, which was enough for barbecuing. The roof was shaded by straw.
“I could hear your voice from far away. Did you come empty-handed? If you came empty-handed, then go back.”
Gu Yin put the bamboo shoots in the kitchen, then came over and sat down.
Long Yu smiled and immediately poured tea for Gu Yin: "How could that be! I brought a whole basket of seafood. It's a barbecue, after all! How could we be without lobster and oysters!"
Seeing Gu Le sit down, Long Yu poured him a cup of tea: "Young President Zhou, it's been a long time! You've become even more mature and composed! Come, come, have some tea!"
Gu Le was a little embarrassed when she was called "Little President Zhou" in front of her family for the first time: "Just call me Gu Le."
It's fine to call out in public, but it's better not to do it in front of family.
"Look at you, acting like a sycophant! Or should I video call Xiaosheng and let him see you?"
Long Yu immediately regained his seriousness: "No! He can make fun of me for a whole year! Okay, okay, I won't joke around anymore, really, I was just trying to lighten the mood!"
Gu Yin ignored his silly antics and looked around to make sure Wu Chong wasn't there: "Did you come alone?"
Seeing her like that, Long Yu immediately understood: "Wu Chong is parking the car outside. You want to eat melon seeds, don't you! Let me tell you, I'm late because I accompanied him to see Liang Jie!"
Gu Yin became interested, picked up a slice of watermelon, and ate it while watching Long Yu.
"Knowing that you wouldn't get forgiveness from him, Old Master Liang made Liang Jie keep Wu Chong in check, preventing the two from breaking up, and forcing Liang Jie to marry Wu Chong! Liang Jie hadn't planned to break up, but Wu Chong's decision was irreversible. Liang Jie also had pride, so she gave up trying to persuade him. We were all ready to call it quits when Old Master Liang called and said that if Liang Jie could win over Wu Chong, she would get an extra 5% of the company shares, another 5% for an engagement, another 5% for marriage, and if they had children and received the Liang family's support, Liang Jie and her husband would jointly manage the company! You know, Liang Hao only has 10% of the shares in total!"
Gu Yin thought of Liang Jie's personality: "So she fell for him and drugged Wu Chong?"
Long Yu: "...It wasn't that despicable. She was genuinely attracted to him! She didn't drug him; she just posted a photo of the two of them together online to officially announce it! However, Wu Chong ignored her and gave her the cold shoulder."
As the saying goes, "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears," and Wu Chong was walking this way.
"Wow! This place is so much better than when we came last time! It's even better than the golf carts next door! If you add a few more houses, you could turn it into a resort hotel!"
Wu Chong sat down while looking around the farm and greeted everyone.
Wu Chong poured himself a cup of tea, and just as he was about to drink it, he noticed that everyone was staring at him.
He glanced at the teacup in his hand: "Has this teacup been used?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "No."
"Then why are you all looking at me like that? Is this tea undrinkable?"
"They're just curious about you and Liang Jie."
Wu Chong looked at Long Yu: "You said it."
Long Yu nodded: "Everyone's curious, anyway, it's all over the internet."
