Chapter 98: The Last One

After finishing the record, Gu Yejin brought Yanyan back and said, "Ashu, Yanyan is sleepy, you should take a bath and sleep with Yanyan first."

"Yeah." Xie Luoshu knew that Gu Yejin was trying to get him away, probably because he didn't want him to hear such troubles.

"It's my fault too. I knew Gu Wenbo had bad intentions. I didn't expect..." Ye Wenliu became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. I didn't expect him to kill people and set fire to people!

Xie Luoshu was in the room with Yanyan for a nap, so they didn't hide it.

Gu Yejin's expression was grim: "Gu Wenbo probably thought that without Yanyan, I would be depressed for a while, so he could take the opportunity to control the Gu Group."

"Him?" Ye Wenliu said disdainfully, "Will Mr. Gu hand over the Gu Group to him? He won't forget that there is also a Gu Zhenhai."

"Mr. Gu thinks highly of Yanyan." Gu Yejin took a sip of water. His mouth was dry from talking too much.

"You value it?" Ye Wenliu snorted coldly, "It's just one percent of the shares."

"Mom, you know, one percent is not a small amount." Gu Ye Jin knew that Ye Wenliu just disliked that group of people from his own family.

"I know." Ye Wen frowned, "But Mr. Gu gave Yan Yan shares, but gave you nothing..."

"Mom..."

"Is there any more of Mr. Gu's property hidden?" Ye Wenliu responded. She was not stupid, but she had only seen Mr. Gu inside for so many years. She never cared about the Gu family's affairs. "It should be all left for you. Gu Wenbo also knows it, so he wants to destroy you."

Gu Yejin said: "You are still smart."

"Think about it and you will understand." Ye Wenliu folded his arms, "Among the young people in the Gu family, only you and Gu Jingming are left. Because of the engagement banquet, Gu Jingming and his family had a quarrel. For the future of the Gu family, Mr. Gu also wants to keep you."

"Grandpa is indeed smart." It is undeniable that Grandpa Gu is still very capable, but his two sons are not up to standard, and the only one who is up to standard ran away. In addition, he is in poor health. Otherwise, the Gu family would not have fallen to this point today.

Mr. Gu kept a part of the family property as a way out. If Gu Zhenhai was really a hopeless case, there was still Gu Jingming. Who knew that Gu Jingming also ran away, so there was only Gu Yejin left.

He was not stupid. He knew that if he handed the Gu family over to Gu Zhenhai, the Gu family would be finished sooner or later. He did not want the Gu family's century-old foundation to be destroyed in his hands. He would not be able to face his ancestors.

"Gu Wenbo is also very calculating." Then everything became clear. Gu Wenbo probably saw the will of Grandpa Gu and realized that he didn't get any benefits, so he was desperate and came to mess with Ye Wenliu and Yan Yan.

Gu Yejin sneered: "Grandpa is too partial. It is said that Gu Wenbo was forced to study art by Grandpa."

“No wonder.” Ye Wenliu didn’t know much about the twists and turns of the Gu family. She wasn’t interested in finding out. Gu Tianyi also said it was unnecessary since they only saw each other once or twice a year anyway.

"I've already told Grandpa," Gu Yejin said, "Grandpa said he would educate Gu Wenbo well."

"Educate him well!" Ye Wenliu slammed the table, "He thinks!"

"Hush." ​​Gu Yejin signaled Ye Wenliu to speak more quietly, "It's not very soundproof here."

"Okay." Ye Wenliu lowered his voice, "Does he think we are all fools? He still wants to educate us properly. What? Gu Wenbo is a three-year-old child? Yanyan knows that this is not right!"

"Now the situation has gotten serious, and the B City police have also intervened." Gu Yejin was confident of victory, "Grandpa can't protect Gu Wenbo."

"If Gu Wenbo knew the news, would he not go back?" Ye Wenliu was a little worried. After all, Gu Wenbo had endured it for so many years, so it wouldn't matter if he endured it a little longer.

"The news hasn't spread yet." Gu Yejin tapped his fingers on the table. "On the Internet, we only know that it caught fire accidentally and the trafficker was arrested."

"Then we have to control the comments." Ye Wenliu raised his eyebrows, "Have you asked someone to do it?"

"Yes, it has been arranged." Gu Yejin nodded. "The police have already taken control of Mr. Gu's case, so the news cannot be spread out."

"Then wait for Gu Wenbo to fall into the trap."

"Mom, now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it anymore." Gu Yejin said.

"Mom knows." Ye Wenliu understood, "It's time for those old antiques in the company to retire."

"It's getting cold, it's time to let ..."

"Shut up." Ye Wenliu laughed. He didn't expect Gu Yejin to learn these things on the Internet. "Will Gu Group not be yours in the future?"

Gu Yejin: "Mom, I'll change my name back when the time comes."

"No need." Ye Wenliu shook his head. "That name is a memory of your father and I. But I think it's okay to change the name. The company will be yours in the future. You can think about what to change it to."

"Yeah." Gu Yejin nodded, "I understand, Mom."

"You've suffered so much." Ye Wenliu looked at Gu Yejin. Gu Yejin now looked a little cold, perhaps pretending to be like this in order to gain a foothold in the company. Gu Yejin back then was not like this.

I arranged a blind date for him, and when he came back, he said he would run away from home if I arranged another blind date! He was so old and still so childish. Later, he even hid from them that he was studying abroad for a master's degree.

Gu Tianyi and Gu Yeting said that this was a belated rebellious period. Because they were too strict when they were young, they just studied every day. When they went to college, they were led by their classmates and opened the door to a new world!

Although she was often angry at that time, she still hoped that Gu Yejin's "rebellious period" would last a little longer. Instead of waking up and finding that Gu Yejin was the same as before.

"No." Gu Yejin shook his head. God had been kind to him before. His mother woke up and he came back.

"Can I know why you wanted to marry Luo Shu at that time?" This was what Ye Wenliu was puzzled about. "I know he is doing well now, but the comments about him on the Internet were very bad before. Maybe they were groundless..."

"Mom." Gu Yejin interrupted Ye Wenliu, "I know what you are worried about. The one before was not him. The one now is. He finally came back."

"Really?" Maybe it was very mysterious and she couldn't understand it, but she believed her son. "That's good. It's good that you're back."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Say thank you to mom." Ye Wenliu patted him, "Go to sleep, you are tired too."

"You should also have a good rest." Gu Yejin said, "You must have been scared today."

"Tsk." Ye Wenliu straightened his spine, "Who do you think your mother and I are?"

I slept until dinner time in the afternoon. Xie Luoshu was awakened by a strong aroma. It was the smell of roasted chicken with chestnuts.

The chicken releases a rich and mellow meaty aroma under the caress of hot oil and spices. During the stewing process, the chestnuts gradually exude a sweet fragrance, which is fresh and sweet with the scent of mountain forests. Coupled with the spicy aroma of scallions, ginger, garlic and secret sauces, the several aromas intertwine with each other to form a unique and charming complex aroma that makes people salivate.

"Little dad~" Yanyan came over after hearing the noise, "Let's have a big dinner tonight!"

"I smell it." Xie Luoshu said with a smile, "Where's Dad?"

"Dad and grandma make dumplings." Yanyan pouted, "I can make them, too!"

"Yes." Xie Luoshu pinched Yanyan's soft cheeks, "Yanyan knows how to wrap."

"They disliked our kid!" Yan Yan was furious.

"Oh?" Xie Luoshu raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? Do you dislike the kid?"

"A lot~" Yanyan rubbed Xie Luoshu, "Dad said that my baby's buns are ugly~"

Zizi is not taking revenge on someone else. Daddy just thinks that Zizi's dumplings are not good-looking! Humph, who told Daddy to say that Zizi will sell him if he does that again! I hate Daddy!

Xie Luoshu got dressed and brought his son to the yard. Lele, Gu Yejin and Ye Wenliu made mustard dumplings together.

"Where is Grandma Lele?" Xie Luoshu asked and then realized he was stupid. Grandma Lele was probably in the kitchen making chestnut roasted chicken!

"In the kitchen." Ye Wenliu called, "Luo Shu, come and help make it. I wanted to go and help, but Lele's grandmother said it was not necessary. If we go there, we will only make things worse."

Ye Wenliu grew up in a small rural village, so this kind of work was no problem for him. But Lele's grandmother insisted, so Ye Wenliu took over making dumplings.

Although Lele is small, he is also very good. He can roll out dumpling wrappers, which are thick in the middle and thin at the edges. Each dumpling wrapper is rolled to the same thickness and size, and he is also very fast, rolling out one in just a few seconds.

Xie Luoshu washed his hands and came over to help: "Mom, did you make this?"

The wrapped dumplings were neatly arranged on top. Each of them had a round belly, and the folds were arranged densely and evenly, each fold looking like a carefully carved work of art. The folds extended gracefully from one end of the dumpling to the other, forming a delicate lace at the edge.

"Yes." Ye Wenliu smiled, "How about it looks good?"

"It looks good." Xie Luoshu didn't expect that Gu Yejin could also make dumplings. The dumplings were slender, with slightly curled ends, in a crescent shape, but fuller than usual. They looked thinner in skin and larger in filling, like a full moon.

"We have a dumpling-making competition every year." Ye Wenliu said with a smile, but there was some sadness in his eyes. This is the rule of their family. No matter what, they have to come back during the Chinese New Year and make dumplings together as a family. Being together is better than anything else.

Xie Luoshu also saw it, and said while making dumplings: "That mother must be the first every year, I will be the second to last."

Ye Wenliu laughed: "Then who is the last one?"

The dumplings that Xie Luo packed were bulging. But the folds were irregular, wide, narrow, and crooked. Fortunately, the fillings were successfully wrapped inside, and the seams were tightly closed.

"Emm..." Xie Luoshu pretended to think, "Let's go Yanyan."

Yanyan: “Hmm?”

Little dad is bad! Big dad and grandma said it in their hearts! Little dad said it directly!

Yanyan put the dumpling in her hand on the table: "This is for Xiaoba."

The dumpling skin was pulled in Yanyan's little hands before it was wrapped. The dumplings were barely put together into irregular polygons. The folds were full of childish "creativity", crookedly lying on the edge of the dumplings, like the winding traces left by a bug crawling on the snow, with varying depths and intervals. In some places, the folds were gathered together, and in others, they were loose. The fillings were all exposed.

Xie Luoshu: “…” You are really a good son to your stepfather.

"We go to the village entrance to eat a hundred-family meal at night," Gu Yejin introduced. "Each family cooks a dish and packs some dumplings to bring over. Then the dumplings from each family are mixed together and cooked. Whoever gets to eat the dumplings gets to see their luck. It's a custom in the village."
