Mei Fang pressed down on Lao Yuan's wine glass.
Because of her interference, this one-sided drinking session ended abruptly.
After the meal.
Gu Guanhai wanted to help clean up the mess, but Yu Mingxiang refused.
Yu Mingxiang and her children cleaned up the dining table, served tea, and then left the main room.
While she was washing dishes and pots in the kitchen with her daughter and son, Mei Fang, fearing that Lao Yuan might faint in the toilet, followed him out to use the toilet.
I came out of the restroom.
The couple stood under the eaves of the main room, looking at the pitch-black night and the kitchen lit up with lights, occasionally punctuated by laughter and chatter, and fell silent.
Mei Fang lit a slender cigarette in silence.
He smoked it intermittently.
After a long while.
She exhaled a smoke from her eyes and said, "Are you really going to stop Old Gu and her?"
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the kitchen, "I think she's great, great in every way, a good match for Lao Gu, and on the same path as us."
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan: ...
He frowned and remained silent.
After a while.
He sighed and said, "Meifang, you know me."
"I am not someone who speaks carelessly, and I would never exaggerate or scare people."
"More than twenty years ago, I gave Old Gu a fortune reading. More than twenty years later, I gave him a fortune reading again..."
"This is the third time! All three times, I've deduced the same fate."
"He is destined to have no marriage; if he were to have one, he would die."
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang exclaimed, "!!!"
His brows furrowed slightly.
He threw away his cigarette butt and stomped on it twice, thinking, "So be it, I'm dead!"
She snorted coldly and said, "People like us who walk on the edge of a knife have long since disregarded life and death!"
"Death is not scary! What's scary is dying with regrets."
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful, and leave no regrets for the rest of your life."
"I think Old Gu is truly in love this time, and Old Yuan..."
At this point, Mei Fang turned her head, squinted at Lao Yuan, and said, "I told you, I won't allow you to stop him. This is something I owe him."
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan was speechless.
He frowned as he looked at her, then silently raised his hand and picked up a talisman.
The talisman ignited spontaneously at his fingertips without any wind.
Old Gu then took a deep breath and said, "You owe him, but don't I owe him too?"
"But you know better than I do that the organization can't do without him; he can't be harmed!"
"Meifang, if I could, do you think I would stand in the way of his happiness?"
Mei Fang was speechless upon hearing this.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Seeing this, Old Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, "He and I fought side by side for over twenty years, sharing life and death, hardships and joys. We're not blood brothers, but we're closer than blood brothers. How could I not want him to have happiness? But fate is like this..."
"I... I will do my duty to help him in any way I can."
As he spoke, Old Yuan reached out and pulled Mei Fang into his arms.
Mei Fang frowned and struggled slightly.
Old Yuan: "Don't move, listen to me."
He lowered his voice and said, "You want him to be happy, and I want him to be happy too, but... if he is happy, someone else will have to suffer misfortune."
"Mei Fang, if you were the one suffering misfortune, would you be willing?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang said: ...
After a moment's thought.
Then, without hesitation, he nodded.
"I do."
She owes Lao Gu more than just her life.
And the lives of thousands of her gang members!
Let alone just helping Lao Gu bear his misfortune, she would have no objection even if she were asked to die in Lao Gu's place.
Even though she agreed so quickly, Old Yuan was speechless: "!!!"
My lips twitched involuntarily.
"very good!"
He let out a long sigh and said, "Then I'll help him defy fate..."
