Chapter 694 Gu Yibei is scheming
He actually seldom smoked. When he was with Xi Luo, he never smoked or drank. He was a real good man. The first time he came into contact with cigarettes and alcohol was when he learned the news of Xi Luo's "death". That was the most difficult time for him that year.
Soon after, his father and other members of his direct lineage met with accidents one after another. He had no time to be sad and could only rely on nicotine to keep himself spirits up.
Later he smoked less and less because it was addictive and he didn't like the feeling of having his mind controlled by something.
Until I learned the truth from Hart some time ago, my spirit collapsed at that moment.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, and wisps of white smoke came out of his nose and mouth, and the stuffiness in his chest dissipated a lot.
Gu Yibei also leaned on the railing and looked down at everything below.
He said, "Bai Chuan has already found out about Luo Ling's team's recent schedule. Do I need to tell you?"
Li Yuan took another puff of the cigarette, and the cigarette looked very beautiful when held between his slender fingers.
He shook his head: "No, no, I won't look for it anymore, I've given up."
Three sentences, nine words, represent Li Yuan's giving up of his twenty years of persistence.
He gave up on Shiloh.
Staring at the distant scenery, Li Yuan looked a little dazed: "Hart is right. In that war, I was the biggest winner and the biggest loser."
He gained power but lost his family. For so many years, he has been standing alone at the top, with no one to accompany him.
"I only realized later that I had been suppressing myself for so many years and had never been happy for a single day."
He was like a puppet, without any emotions. His only belief was to manage the Warrens family left to him by his father. He had been numb all these years.
Li Yuan curled his lips and smiled lightly, "It wasn't until the moment I found Nan Nan that I realized I was still alive."
As he smiled, his smile slowly turned bitter: "I have suppressed myself for more than twenty years, and now I want to let myself go."
No longer living for Xi Luo, let go of everything and live for yourself and your daughter.
Gu Yibei curled his lips and smiled, as long as his young father-in-law understood.

After smoking a cigarette on the rooftop, the two of them went downstairs and ran into Ji Zhinan who had just finished the examination.
Seeing his daughter, Li Yuan subconsciously walked over, and when he got closer, he smelled the smell of smoke.
Ji Zhinan has always had a good sense of smell, and the smell of cigarettes made her frown: "Dad, are you smoking?"
Seeing his daughter's scrutinizing gaze, Li Yuan subconsciously felt guilty: "I..."
Gu Yibei quietly handed over the opened cigarette box and lighter: "Dad, your cigarettes are on the rooftop."
“???”
Receiving the look from his young father-in-law, Gu Yibei continued with a slightly innocent tone, "Dad, smoking is harmful to your health. You see, I don't smoke, so you have to be careful too and not smoke too much."
After saying this, he casually opened the cigarette box and put the lighter in it.
The outside of the cigarette box looked very new, and it was obvious that it had just been opened, but there were only a few cigarettes inside.
Ji Zhinan immediately stared at Li Yuan sternly, very dissatisfied with his reckless smoking behavior.
If Li Yuan hadn't realized that he had been tricked by Gu Yibei at this time, then he was really an idiot. No wonder this bastard just watched him smoke instead of smoking. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Li Yuan: “!!!”

Mu Family——
"Bang!" The sound of a glass hitting the ground and shattering was followed by Mu Zeyu's angry roar.
"Ji Zhixia, who allowed you to talk to my mother like that!"
