Chapter 537: Seeing He Yuan

After Gu Ning glanced at Zhou Ya, she remained silent; there was neither surprise nor unexpectedness on her face.

Zhou Ya held her notebook and wrote while saying, "When he first barged into my house so aggressively, I felt he was very special."

"Unreasonable, wise, and sharp in observation."

Zhou Ya talked to herself on the side, not paying attention to Gu Ning's silence.

Gu Ning didn't seem to object to Zhou Ya's words either, because she didn't close her eyes again, but just lay there, listening to Zhou Ya.

"His logical thinking is very meticulous; he is clever yet sensitive."

After Zhou Ya finished writing, she rested her chin on the hand holding the pencil, looked at the wall lamp with a dazed expression, and said, "Sometimes he's like a bandit, but sometimes he's like a gentleman."

Gu Ning looked at the ceiling, thinking about Li Xuewu's image in her heart, which didn't seem to be the same as the Li Xuewu in Zhou Ya's mouth, because Li Xuewu had never treated her like that.

But it was also different from the image in her father's mouth; the Li Xuewu in her father's mouth was more violent and direct, seemingly even more ruthless than a bandit.

"Do you know? I took the initiative to hug him."

Zhou Ya smiled and said to Gu Ning, "More than once, but I failed every time."

Gu Ning turned her head to look at Zhou Ya and asked, "Should I be glad?"

"Hahaha! ~"

Seeing that Gu Ning had spoken and replied to her with a joke, Zhou Ya knew that Gu Ning was beginning to untie her knot.

"I really envy you."

After laughing, with a lingering smile on her face, Zhou Ya said very seriously, "Really, he is truly an excellent man, very excellent."

Gu Ning turned her head back, continued to look at the ceiling, and said, "Today, a woman from his unit came to find me and told me a lot of things about him."

"It must be about a man and a woman, right?"

Zhou Ya had an expression of 'I guessed it would be like this,' tapped the folder in her hand with her pencil, and asked, "Is that woman very beautiful?"

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya again, her expression very puzzled; does this have anything to do with being beautiful or not?

There was a strange smile on Zhou Ya's face as she said, "She must not be old, at least the kind who isn't married."

While speaking, she even acted out the expression of the woman she imagined for Gu Ning to see, saying, "When she saw you at that time, was she very nervous? She started speaking with a tremor, then spoke faster and faster, and finally left running, right?"

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya with some surprise and asked, "You...?"

"I guarantee that apart from picking up the child, I have been at home all afternoon."

Zhou Ya smiled and raised her eyebrows, then said, "Is psychology very scary? Hehe."

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya; she didn't look like she was lying, and at that time, only she and her sister-in-law were there, and it was impossible for her sister-in-law to tell Zhou Ya these things.

"I don't need to explain it to you, right?"

Zhou Ya smiled and looked at Gu Ning, reached out and touched Gu Ning's hair, and said, "Your performance today must have made her look inferior, right?"

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, but it quickly dissipated; she was still angry.

But for some reason, after hearing Zhou Ya's words, she suddenly felt much more relaxed; psychology is indeed very scary.

Zhou Ya smiled and said, "I won't tell you whether what she said is true or false; this is a matter between the two of you, and you need to judge and solve it yourself."

While walking to the side of Gu Ning's sofa and sitting down next to her, she lowered her head to look at Gu Ning lying on the sofa and said, "I just want to tell you that you must have the ability to think about problems calmly and the courage to handle things decisively."

"What about you?"

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya and asked, "Just like what you said just now."

"Me?"

Zhou Ya looked at Gu Ning and laughed, asking, "Do you think I am a threat to you?"

"Just like that girl today, just like those women in her mouth, are they a threat to you?"

"He can push me away."

Zhou Ya arched her body, looked into Gu Ning's eyes, and said, "I don't quite believe he would be tempted; at least I am quite confident in my own conditions."

Gu Ning lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded silently, indicating she understood.

"But then again."

Zhou Ya straightened her body, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Since she is a woman in his courtyard, why don't his parents know, why don't you know, but it happens to be that woman who knows?"

"I don't know."

Gu Ning shook her head slightly and said, "A few days ago, I went to eat with him. At that time, he told me that if I wanted to know, he would tell me everything, but I refused."

"Hehehe."

Zhou Ya chuckled a few times, pointed at Gu Ning's forehead with her finger, and said, "You are so clever that I feel amazed."

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya and smiled slightly with a hint of self-deprecation, "If this counts as clever."

"Of course."

Zhou Ya looked at Gu Ning seriously and said, "He told me that he has had many girlfriends, note, many."

When describing it to Gu Ning, Zhou Ya also pointed her finger to emphasize it, then continued, "But during his treatment, he never mentioned any special points in the process of getting along with these girlfriends."

"Is he used to it?"

Gu Ning was guided by Zhou Ya and had already walked out of the predicament; now she began to take the initiative to solve problems and understand problems.

"Or has he experienced many relationships and become numb?"

"Neither."

Zhou Ya looked at Gu Ning, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's indifference and ruthlessness, colder and lonelier than your heart, very self-centered, very closed, and also very utilitarian."

"So many emotional experiences have become like games in his impression, passing clouds, just flowers on his growth path, decorations, nothing more."

After finishing, she looked at the thoughtful Gu Ning and asked, "Do you think he is very bad?"

Gu Ning didn't nod or shake her head; she now began to rely on her own heart and think according to her impression of Li Xuewu.

Zhou Ya pouted with a hint of melancholy, as if she remembered something, shook her head slightly, and said, "He may be deliberately creating some appearances, either subjectively or objectively, with very strong purposeful goals."

"Is he very dangerous?"

After hearing this explanation, Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya and asked, "I have seen his violent side with my own eyes, grabbing a person's head and smashing it onto the hood of a car."

"Maybe."

Zhou Ya shook her head and said, "His symptoms are milder than yours, but harder to treat than yours, because his subjective consciousness is too strong, including me, he doesn't trust anyone."

After saying this, Zhou Ya looked at Gu Ning again and said, "Perhaps only you can unlock his heart's lock."

"I don't know."

Gu Ning shook her head and said, "Listening to you say this, these rumors seem to be deliberately arranged by him, but what is this for?"

"You have to ask him about this yourself."

Zhou Ya smiled and said, "But just looking at the situation this girl is facing, and the situation she described, those two people might be bells."

"Bells?"

Gu Ning frowned slightly; she didn't know what Zhou Ya was talking about, how did it become bells again?

"Bells on the door."

Zhou Ya smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have been his bell. Unknowingly, when someone wants to push the door to attack him, the bell on the door rings first."

Looking at Gu Ning's surprised expression, Zhou Ya shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine and didn't care about this matter.

Then she continued to explain, "The matter in Steel City, the disaster left by Fu Bin, he used my identity to fish out many people. The case currently being handled in Steel City is this one, the one that makes me unable to return home."

Gu Ning looked at Zhou Ya's expression; this matter seemed a bit unfair in her view, but Zhou Ya's face was just calm.

"Very strange?"

Zhou Ya smiled, "Of course it's not because I like him. Every woman who has been with him might like him; this might be his unique personality charm, but others won't be as grateful to him as I am."

Seeing the understanding in Gu Ning's eyes, Zhou Ya confirmed her words again; this girl is very clever.

Gu Ning indeed understood Zhou Ya's explanation: a woman treated coldly by a man, with children, facing danger, suddenly someone appears who can save them.

When this woman developed a good impression of this man who suddenly appeared, she discovered that this man was using her.

Just when she hated this man, she was sincerely protected by this man again.

Including giving her the last chance to see her husband, so that she could have no regrets in her heart and emotions.

This kind of torture and pulling between life and death, no matter which woman, would fall for such a young, strong, powerful, and distinct-personality man, right?

Most importantly, this man rejected her many times.

Gu Ning thought of herself; if she met such a man, how would she face it?

She doesn't hate or care about Zhou Ya now, because calmness will become non-aggressive.

The hidden danger is the fatal one; Zhou Ya being able to tell her straightforwardly means that Li Xuewu did nothing wrong in this matter.

Thinking of Zhou Ya's conditions again, appearance, knowledge, figure, etc., Gu Ning didn't think the woman in the rumors mentioned by that woman today was better than Zhou Ya.

"Listening to her, one is in his courtyard, one is in the factory, and he even promoted her himself."

Zhou Ya shook her head slightly and said, "He is not a confused person, at least in politics, I don't think he is muddled and incompetent."

Seeing Gu Ning look over, Zhou Ya said, "Even if this matter is true, I don't suggest you investigate it, unless you want to get involved in his affairs."

"No."

Gu Ning shook her head and said very firmly, "I don't want to; I told him, as long as he is responsible."

"But I am not prepared to forgive him just like that."

Gu Ning said to Zhou Ya, "The occurrence of today's matter is because he didn't take good responsibility; I don't want anyone to come to me and say these things in the future."

"This is your right."

Zhou Ya smiled and nodded, blinked her left eye, and said mischievously, "Teach him a lesson, a harsh one."

Gu Ning smiled and asked, "So, is today's treatment over?"

"Of course, it depends on you."

Zhou Ya pointed at Gu Ning's smiling face and said, "Your expression has already told me that I am a very capable psychologist."

"Get up, get up."

While Li Xuewu was still dreaming, he heard a very familiar voice in his ear.

He thought he was dreaming, smacked his lips and muttered a few words, wanting to continue sleeping, but who knew that what followed was his father's increasingly severe urging voice:

"What time is it? Still sleeping? Get up, get up~"

Li Shun's morning wake-up service was nothing more than these few sentences; there was no new reason in the wake-up call, it was just so unreasonable.

But this was towards his son, so whether in reason or ethics, it seemed so justified.

Li Xuewu first opened one eye to scout; if he was hallucinating, he could continue sleeping.

But at this moment, he clearly saw his father's serious and impatient face.

"Dad?"

Li Xuewu opened his eyes with some doubt, tilted his head and looked out the window; it had just dawned.

Li Shun clearly saw his son's meaning, stood by the kang and lectured, "Are you a child? Don't you know what day it is today? Do I still have to come and call you?"

Li Xuewu closed his eyes and lay back on the pillow, muttering helplessly, "When I was young, didn't you also call me at this time?"

"Less nonsense, get up quickly."

Li Shun stared, very unhappy with his son's rebuttal.

Li Xuewu nodded helplessly; in fact, his father rarely came to call him to get up. The last time he remembered clearly was going to his eldest brother's father-in-law's house.

Although this time it wasn't going to his own father-in-law's house, today was the day for the two families to meet.

Li Xuewu opened his eyes again, looked at his father who was about to reach out and grab his pillow, nodded and said, "Well, you're dressed very neatly today, looking young and dashing."

Seeing his son awake, Li Shun stopped urging, stared, ignored his son who had no proper form, turned around and went out; he still had to go get milk for his eldest granddaughter.

When walking out of his son's house, Li Shun's ears still echoed with his son's words of praise, and he muttered quietly in his mouth: "Need you to say it?!"

Li Xuewu on the kang yawned, tilted his head and looked at the wall clock again; it was only past five. Thinking that his old man had left, he could still take a nap.

"Get up?!"

As a result, Li Shun, who walked under the window, reminded his son again.

Forget it, today's sleep was not to be had. Because it was Saturday last night, he had been chatting late with Lao Biaozi and the others in the dao zuo fang.

Plus his mother and the others were tidying up the quilts and luggage, so they slept a bit late.

At this moment, yawning and sitting on the kang, he still felt a bit sluggish.

Yu Li came over from the front courtyard, walked into the house and saw Li Xuewu draped in a large quilt, sitting on the kang, staring blankly with lifeless eyes, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Xuewu had already seen that it was Yu Li who entered the house, because no one would come to him at this time in the morning.

Except for his dad.

"Cough, I saw Uncle Li."

Yu Li explained with a suppressed smile, then pulled open the thick cloth blackout curtains.

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes, smacked his lips, and said, "Help me get my clothes. If my dad comes back later and doesn't see me wandering in the front courtyard, he'll come here to scold people."

Yu Li smiled and found the clothes Li Xuewu was going to wear today, saying, "Only at this time do I feel you are a twenty-year-old young man."

Li Xuewu took the clothes, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Are you indirectly saying that my ability is not good?"

"Pfft~"

Yu Li didn't expect Li Xuewu to turn the corner so sharply, couldn't help but spit, and pinched Li Xuewu when she got on the kang.

Li Xuewu smiled wickedly, "Don't let me get a chance; a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not late."

"You are early and late."

Yu Li scolded, grabbed the quilt Li Xuewu was draped in and folded it, deliberately leaving Li Xuewu out in the cold.

Li Xuewu didn't care at all, shook his head and started to put on his clothes. According to the rules of the world, Yu Li got on the kang during the day, so he had to get off the kang.

"The things you mentioned are all packed separately in the car."

Yu Li stood on the kang, folding the quilt while explaining to Li Xuewu. Yesterday, Li Xuewu specifically told Yu Li that in addition to the luggage to be sent to the villa, he also had to prepare gifts for Aunt Zhang who acted as a matchmaker, and gifts for the witness Yu Huaiyou.

"Should I prepare some candy?"

Li Xuewu buttoned his clothes, looked at Yu Li and asked, "These families all have small children."

"Aunt Liu has already prepared it."

Yu Li put the pillow on the kang cabinet, pulled open the back curtain, and then got off the ground.

At this moment, Li Xuewu had already gone to wash up, and Yu Li was helping Li Xuewu tidy up the documents in the room and on the desk.

"Aunt Liu also wanted to ask you, you said you were going to find a tailor to make clothes, have you found one?"

Yu Li finished tidying the room and opened the window; there was no strong wind today, just right for ventilating the room.

"Well, found one."

Li Xuewu wiped his face and walked out, hung the towel on the rack, and said casually, "It's an old master I found."

Yu Li nodded and said, "Aunt Liu also said, if you hadn't found one, she would help you make them."

"No, too hard."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "You know my mom, she's impatient, always rushing to do some work, plus there are so many people's clothes in my house, I don't want her to get tired."

"Also."

Yu Li smiled and nodded, saying, "These past few days, Aunt Liu has been anxious looking at the luggage."

"Originally, it would be fine to finish it before the wedding, but she insisted on finishing it in a week, can she not be tired?"

Li Xuewu walked to the door, put on his leather shoes, leaned against the cabinet at the door and explained to Yu Li, "If you receive a call today, just say I'm busy during the day and will reply uniformly in the evening."

"Understood."

Yu Li responded and started tidying up the room. After Li Xuewu gets married, her work will be much easier; at least she won't have to come here every morning to serve Li Xuewu.

Furthermore, she won't have to come to clean this room every day; she just needs to clean it once before Li Xuewu returns.

However, this idea of being able to be idle didn't make Yu Li very happy. Although Li Xuewu didn't say it explicitly, she could still see Li Xuewu's attitude towards her.

I don't know what Qin Huairu is thinking. These past few days, looking at Qin Huairu in the courtyard, she doesn't seem to have been affected, still the same look.

It seems she isn't worried at all that Li Xuewu won't maintain a relationship with her after getting married. Is she confident, or is she choosing another place?

Yu Li has also been asked this question by Yushui, but she hasn't thought about it seriously. Now life seems to be very good.

She has her own job and salary, her own house, earns her own money to spend, and everything from work to meals is arranged properly.

But why does she feel a bit lost now?

This bad guy doesn't take the initiative to say what she should do or how to arrange herself.

Li Shun felt that Li Xuewu getting up so early was just to add trouble to him.

That tall guy didn't care about anything, and Lao Biaozi was busy preparing the car and the things to be brought over.

But in Li Xuewu's view, these were completely unnecessary. For example, eating at the villa today, his mother Liu Yin prepared to bring food, just afraid that it wouldn't be convenient there.

Even though Li Xuewu explained that they also cook there, his mother still brought prepared meat filling, because they were going to make dumplings.

Li Xuewu had already given up struggling. His father and mother now just didn't listen to what he said, but after he stopped talking, they felt he wasn't cooperating.

Zhao Yafang smiled and looked at her second brother-in-law's sighing appearance, whispering something to Li Xuewen beside her.

Li Xuewen looked at his second brother's miserable appearance now, but shook his head, firmly refusing to admit that his appearance at such a time was exactly the same as his second brother's.

Li Xuecai had no status at home and was ordered around by his mother, while his younger sister Li Xue stood on the side in a new dress, watching the fun.

The reason Li Xue wasn't allowed to move things was that her mother said she was afraid her dress would get dirty.

Li Xuecai really wanted to say that his clothes were also afraid of getting dirty, but he didn't dare to say it.

His usually gentle mother was now like a grumpy emperor; whoever dared to deny her opinion would look like his second brother who was sighing and drooping his head now.

Even the head of the family, Li Shun, was now under his mother's command, polishing his leather shoes again.

Only Da Lao could smoke a pipe and sit on the side, watching the fun happily.

When everything was ready, or rather, when Liu Yin thought it wasn't fully ready but had to leave because of time, the whole family mobilized, took two cars, and went out to Haiyuncang.

Why two cars?

Because there were many people, many things, and also, they would separate at the villa.

Li Xuewu was going to drive the jeep and take Gu Ning to visit the matchmaker and the witness.

And after eating in the afternoon, Li Xuewu would take Gu Ning shopping, while the family would return by car.

The two cars arrived at the villa together, the gate had long been open, and Li Xuewu drove the car directly onto the path in front of the door.

Lao Biaozi drove the other car directly into the courtyard; this car had the prepared luggage and other things prepared by the Li family.

Hearing the sound of the car, Gu Ning and Zhou Ya had already walked out of the hall door.

Just as Lao Biaozi opened the back door, Gu Ning greeted Li Shun and Da Lao who got off the car first.

Li Shun's attitude towards his eldest daughter-in-law and two prospective daughters-in-law was very good, and he would never show seriousness or severity.

At this moment, seeing Gu Ning, he also nodded with a smile.

Then came Liu Yin, Li Xue, and Li Xuewen and his wife.

Because the old lady was holding the child, she was the last one to get off the car. After greeting, Gu Ning first took the child, then helped the old lady off the car.

The old lady was of course very satisfied with Gu Ning; what she was most satisfied with was Gu Ning's initiative to take Li Shu.

Even Li Xuewu, who walked into the gate, could see that everyone in the family liked Gu Ning very much and recognized Gu Ning's status in this family.

It might also be from this moment that Gu Ning's identity quietly changed into a member of the Li family, although they hadn't received their certificate yet.

Gu Ning and Zhou Ya gracefully let the Li family into the living room, and then it was Li Xuewu's brothers, taking Lao Biaozi to move things into the house.

The luggage was wrapped in bed sheets, and there were other things prepared by Li Shun as betrothal gifts and a white ceramic statue, cloth prepared by Liu Yin, fountain pens prepared by Li Xuewen and his wife, etc.

This counts as an engagement gift, and also a meeting gift between the two sides before marriage. It's a new society now, there aren't so many traditional rituals, but they were all expressed implicitly.

Just when Li Xuewu and the others moved the cradle newly built by the grandfather for the great-granddaughter and the subsequent great-grandson and great-granddaughter into the house, the father-in-law's family arrived.

Before the Red Flag car came over, Lao Biaozi drove the car in the courtyard to the side of the road. Everyone greeted them again, exchanged pleasantries, and then returned to the house.

Originally, the villa's living room was very spacious, and the sofa was two three-seaters and two single-seaters. Perhaps the previous owner often held salons, so the layout of the living room here was very warm.

After Li Xuewu took over, he didn't change the position, it was just cleaned by Gu Ning.

Now with his own family, plus the mother-in-law and Gu Ning's eldest sister-in-law who came over, it seemed a bit crowded.

Counting Fu Zhidong and Li Shu, the two children, there were sixteen people in the house all of a sudden.

They had to move chairs from the kitchen to sit down. The main sofa was naturally occupied by Da Lao and the old lady, sitting with Ding Fengxia, and then Li Shun and Liu Yin and Mu Hongyan.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning sat on the chairs placed side by side, but Li Xuewu felt that Gu Ning didn't intend to interact or pay attention to him.

Is it because she's shy with so many people?

"I heard it took several nights to make the luggage."

Ding Fengxia said to Liu Yin in a tone with a hint of guilt, "This makes me feel ashamed."

Liu Yin smiled and patted Ding Fengxia who was sitting next to her, "If you say that, then when Xuewu was hospitalized and taken care of by you, I would feel even more self-blaming."

"It seems it really is fate."

Ding Fengxia smiled and said to Liu Yin, "I have worried countless times before about what kind of life Xiao Ning would live in the future, and whether there would be a mother-in-law who could be as tolerant of her as I am."

Looking at Liu Yin's gentle smile, Ding Fengxia said very firmly, "Since I met you, I haven't thought about this matter again."

"Hahaha~"

Liu Yin smiled very proudly, patted Ding Fengxia again, and said teasingly, "You are obviously happy too early."

While speaking, Liu Yin looked towards Gu Ning's direction, where Li Xuewen and his wife, Li Xuewu and Gu Ning were sitting.

"I am not an easy-to-talk-to mother-in-law, Xiao Ning needs to be careful."

Gu Ning pursed her lips and smiled; she didn't know much about human relationships, but she knew Liu Yin was joking.

Ding Fengxia was also smiling happily at this moment, saying to Liu Yin, "Don't spoil them, Xiao Ning was spoiled by me, she can't even cook, so I have to trouble you to teach her."

Liu Yin looked at Gu Ning, turned her head and smiled, but her tone was very serious as she said to Ding Fengxia, "Don't worry, the child won't go hungry."

Ding Fengxia's face was full of smiles of being understood, nodded solemnly, and squeezed Liu Yin's hand with her hand.

The two in-laws got along very well; neither was a person who took things too seriously, and plus they were both accommodating to each other, so the atmosphere was very good.

However, this was limited to the in-laws, not including Li Xuewu and Gu Ning, and of course, Mu Hongyan.

When greeting them, Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet Mu Hongyan, but there were many people at the time, and Mu Hongyan seemed not to see Li Xuewu, not paying attention to him at all.

Li Xuewu felt something was wrong at the time, but didn't investigate immediately.

But now Mu Hongyan didn't look at him at all, and Gu Ning beside her didn't pay attention to him either. Even if he were dumber, he would know something was wrong.

But where exactly was it wrong, and how did he offend Mu Hongyan and Gu Ning together in a baffling state?

He looked at Zhou Ya who was helping to entertain guests, but this woman gave him an expression of being unable to help.

Li Xuewu tried to probe Gu Ning several times, but was dodged by Gu Ning.

After the two families exchanged pleasantries, Gu Ning took both mothers to look at the decoration and furnishings in the house.

And Li Xuewu took Da Lao and the others to look around the courtyard.

Li Shun walked with his hands behind his back, looked around, nodded to Li Xuewu, and said, "The courtyard is cleaned very cleanly, but it doesn't look like your personality."

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "You know, I don't live here."

Li Shun nodded and said, "I'm just telling you, keep the courtyard this clean after you get married."

Li Xuewu nodded helplessly, turned his head to look at Li Xuecai, and asked, "What are you giggling about?"

"I didn't."

Li Xuecai pursed his lips, looked at his second brother and emphasized, "Second brother, don't change the subject. You are the protagonist today, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Xuewu took a deep breath, looked at his grandfather, and said seriously, "Da Lao, I have prepared a room for you on the first floor."

Da Lao nodded with a smile and said, "I accept your intention, live your own life well."

While speaking, he stepped across the east courtyard, looked at the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable plot, and said, "Your grandfather is not seventy or eighty yet, no need for you to worry."

On the issue of retirement, Li Shun had never expressed any opinion, except for the time he brought Da Lao back to retire.

Li Shun was a filial person, but precisely because of this, he didn't want to give his father-in-law too much psychological burden.

Anyway, they all lived in the courtyard. Whether the father-in-law said he would follow the second son or them, it was all up to the old man's heart.

Now the father-in-law ate well and slept well in the dao zuo fang, and had work he liked to do every day, that was enough.

People just can't be idle, especially the elderly. They like to do whatever they like to do. If they want to follow the second son to toss, just let him go.

Seeing his second son invite his father-in-law to live here, Li Shun didn't oppose it, and hearing his father-in-law refuse, he didn't agree either.

Still the same sentence, follow the old man's heart.

Li Xuewu's idea was the same as his father's. He sincerely invited Da Lao to live here, and he had also discussed this issue with Gu Ning.

The two had no disagreement on the living environment, and it seemed they had no disagreement on other issues either.

But what happened to Gu Ning today?

And what happened to Zhou Ya?

This question was not figured out until Da Lao and the others visited the interior, and the mother-in-law and mother visited the exterior.

He wanted to find a chance to ask Zhou Ya clearly several times, but this woman deliberately avoided him today.

Whenever this happened, Gu Ning had an expression of a little duck's pride.

Li Xuewu finally had to use his big move—summoning his godson!

Fu Zhidong knew very little about the situation of his mother and Aunt Ning. In his words: because he was still young, he didn't need to listen to those things about women and men.

Although he didn't get much useful information, Li Xuewu basically figured it out; there was a traitor among the masses.

Or rather, his landmine was stepped on by some people.

Watching Li Xuewu whispering there with his son, Zhou Ya helplessly spread her hands to Gu Ning and said, "I can only help you up to here. My son super admires him. I told you, he has a charm that can get along well with anyone."

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, raised her eyebrows indifferently, and turned her head away, because Li Xuewu had already stood up at this moment.

"I knew this point you mentioned long ago."

Gu Ning also nodded helplessly and said, "The first time he went to our house, he could talk to my dad."

Li Xuewu nodded when looking at Zhou Ya, with a proud look, and also raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Zhou Ya rolled her eyes. Although she despised Li Xuewu's cheating behavior in her heart, this didn't prevent her from really thinking Li Xuewu was a complete bad guy.

Because there were other visiting tasks in the morning, Li Xuewu and Gu Ning handed over both families to Zhou Ya for entertainment, and the two took a car with gifts to Li Deshan's house.

On the way, Li Xuewu didn't explain anything, nor did he defend his behavior, just like the agreement the two made that night.

However, Li Xuewu explained to Gu Ning in detail the reason for knowing Aunt Zhang, Li Deshan's lover, Aunt Zhang Shuting.

And explained the decision of why he thought of inviting her to be a matchmaker at that time.

According to reason, the true matchmaker for the two should be Dong Wenxue; without Dong Wenxue, the two couldn't have come together.

But Dong Wenxue was in Steel City, and some things weren't convenient.

Furthermore, the mistakes at that time, having Yu Huaiyou, made it inappropriate for Dong Wenxue to be a matchmaker.

Gu Ning listened in her ears, but didn't make any expression, nor did she respond.

Li Xuewu didn't care; the two seemed to be playing a game of who speaks first loses.

The difference is that Li Xuewu doesn't count as losing when he says these things.

After arriving at the hutong opposite the Great Hall, Li Xuewu parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, carried the gifts and took Gu Ning into the courtyard.

The guards at the gate of course still remembered Li Xuewu, but seeing him bringing a girl and carrying gifts, of course they wouldn't think he would let someone press him to the ground again.

Li Xuewu nodded apologetically to this guard, then took Gu Ning into the courtyard.

Zhang Shuting had received Li Xuewu's call the day before yesterday and had already agreed to visit today.

Li Xuewu of course wouldn't be a bad guest; coming uninvited is only suitable for catching people, not for visiting.

"Aunt Zhang."

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhang Shuting had already walked out of the room. Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet Zhang Shuting and introduced Gu Ning to her.

Zhang Shuting was a very elegant woman, nodded to Gu Ning with a smile, and asked about Gu Ning's parents' situation with a smile.

Actually, speaking of it, Li Xuewu's father-in-law was several levels lower than Li Deshan, but the current situation of the two is hard to say.

Li Deshan is now responsible for sports work and is no longer specifically responsible for military affairs.

Li Xuewu handed the gifts he brought to Li Ming, but didn't make any jokes about firearms.

Believing that after that incident, the child's butt must be very miserable.

Zhang Shuting chatted with Gu Ning for a few words, asked about the process of the two meeting and getting along, and talked about things from before with a smile.

"A very easy-going person."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Shuting's family, Gu Ning said this to Li Xuewu when she got in the car and went to another place.

Li Xuewu nodded and didn't say anything. Gu Ning had learned some of the situation of this family through Li Xuewu's explanation.

However, Li Xuewu didn't explain the specific reasons in such detail, but Gu Ning could also guess it.

Why Gu Haitao went to the south, although it had something to do with his ability and the importance of Yangcheng's location, it had more to do with Gu Haitao's personal wishes.

Beijing is good, but it's chaotic.

Visiting Yu Huaiyou was simpler than visiting Zhang Shuting, because Yu Huaiyou received them in his office.

Sunday is the busiest day for Li Xuewu, not to mention Yu Huaiyou.

Being able to enter Yu Huaiyou's office was because Li Xuewu made an appointment in advance, because Yu Huaiyou only gave Li Xuewu five minutes.

However, Yu Huaiyou was very happy to see Li Xuewu really bring the daughter of the Gu family over. When accepting the invitation, he said very firmly that he would definitely complete this task on that day.

Li Xuewu knew this wasn't his face, because that case had already ended, and there was no reason for his credit to be remembered by people for a lifetime.

Don't mention that calligraphy; that calligraphy can only be hung in his study for trusted people to see, and cannot be carried out to show off.

Gu Ning was very decent in dealing with Yu Huaiyou, which made Yu Huaiyou specifically point at Li Xuewu when Li Xuewu said goodbye, saying Li Xuewu was really lucky.

Li Xuewu nodded with a confident smile, and asked the secretary who sent them off if he had exceeded Yu Vice Minister's time to meet him.

The secretary looked at Yu Huaiyou with some amusement, while Yu Huaiyou waved his hand at Li Xuewu and told him to get lost quickly.

Li Xuewu also took a deep breath when walking out of that solemn building.

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu and said, "You didn't show this much pressure just now."

"I thought you were planning to ignore me forever."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows at Gu Ning, walked to the car first, and Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu's back from behind and rolled her eyes helplessly.

This kind of childish performance was also discovered by Gu Ning for the first time on Li Xuewu. Is this what the book says: men never grow up?

"Not going home yet, take you to a place."

Li Xuewu said to Gu Ning after starting the car, and drove towards Dongcheng.

Gu Ning didn't think Li Xuewu would take her to any dangerous or unsuitable place, because he wasn't a willful person.

When the jeep entered a hutong and stopped in front of an old house, Gu Ning doubted Li Xuewu's purpose.

Isn't it some kind of thrilling experience?

When Li Xuewu knocked on the door, heard some old response from inside, then pushed the door open, and saw the large coffin parked in the shed in the corner of the courtyard, Gu Ning really regretted that she guessed right.

"You haven't already invited the people to carry the coffin for you, have you?"
