The Gu Family is a prominent figure in both the underworld and legitimate society, representing a typical high-intelligence crime syndicate with both legal and illegal operations thriving, often aided by the Ye Family.
Gu Feng is the third son of the Gu Family. Eight years ago, during the struggle for control over South China, Central China, and West China, the Eldest Young Master of the Gu Family was killed in an explosion. The Second Young Master has been in a nursing ward ever since, remaining in a vegetative state for over eight years, only able to barely move his eyes and fingers.
Gu Feng was also on the brink of death at that time. If it weren't for the meddlesome Lan Baobao, who helped divert several attackers and called for an ambulance, Gu Feng would have likely bled to death eight years ago.
Within two months, Gu Feng, accompanied by two subordinates, allied with the Ye Family and a political figure to eliminate those who were encroaching on their territory. This marked the beginning of his unassailable position in the underworld.
With the loss of their leader and the incapacitation of the Second Young Master, Gu Feng became the sole direct male heir of the Gu Family. His achievements earned him respect among the underlings of the crime syndicate, leading to his natural succession as heir. Four years ago, he nearly took over all of the Gu Family's businesses.
He also has a younger sister who is physically weak but possesses a clever mind that even Ye Zixun sometimes finds frightening.
Additionally, there are two cousins who are unaware of their own limitations and covet Gu Feng's leadership position. Currently, these four children are all that remain of the Gu Family.
"Gu Feng, you didn't rush back just to see Lan Baobao, did you? You saw how muddled she is; she's much more foolish than her children!"
"If she weren't foolish, she wouldn't have naively participated in that conflict to save my life back then or mistakenly thought she had forced herself on you while drunk!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zixun couldn't help but laugh. The mention of this incident amused him: "Indeed quite foolish. By the way, don't leave tonight; come to my house for dinner and meet my two kids."
"Sure, I'll go back for a nap first. Oh, and make sure she dresses nicely tonight; I may be without a wife, but I still need to keep up appearances!"
Ye Zixun pushed some macarons on the table toward Gu Feng, who generously indulged in them. Ye Zixun had previously been unaware that Lan Baobao was Gu Feng's savior until he received a call from him yesterday.
This woman had entered Gu Feng's heart eight years ago; he had always wanted to find her and make her the mistress of the Gu Family.
Unfortunately, after spending seven years searching without success and feeling disheartened, he went on a trip to Antarctica. While still away, he saw news of Ye Zixun's engagement and nearly called to inquire about Ye Zixun's mother when he saw what the bride looked like.
It was only because Lan Baobao married Ye Zixun that Gu Feng reluctantly refrained from competing for her hand; had it been someone else...
Hmph! He would have dealt with them!
"I'll go first, see you tonight."
"Hey, oh, President Ye is with Mu Jiao'er right now. Yeah, he's very busy, so they probably won't be able to meet you. Try calling again in a couple of days! Well, goodbye then!"
Once the call ended, I felt particularly good. Gu Feng put on a smile and said, "Who were you on the phone with? Who is Jiao'er?"
"Oh, just President Ye's lovers. One of my main jobs is to help him fend them off!"
"Oh, I see. Well, take your time. I'm leaving now!"
"Okay, take care."
Ye Zixun has already taken Lan Baobao away; the child is almost five years old. Does he still want to have lovers outside? Dream on! As long as I'm here, Gu Feng, no other woman will climb over Lan Baobao.
After a day of hard work, Lan Baobao had finally told all the lies that hadn't been spoken for over twenty years in one go. Her body and mind were severely damaged. Once she got home, she kicked off her high heels and lay on the sofa gasping for breath.
The two children were originally left at home by Grandpa Ye, but Mumu was worried about her and left Ruo Ruo there alone. Tonight, a family dinner was specially prepared to welcome back Gu Feng.
However, the so-called family dinner consisted of everyone dressed formally, sitting at a long table with knives and forks eating Western food. Can anything without rice fill their stomachs? Before eating with them, one must fill their own stomach first; this is something Lan Baobao deeply understood since getting to know Ye Zixun.
"Mommy, hurry up and come eat! We still have to go to grandpa's house later."
Lan Baobao closed her eyes and slithered off the sofa like a snake, stretching her neck like a pug to sniff the aroma wafting through the air. A droplet of crystal-clear saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth: "Is there meat…"
"It's not meat; it's kidney, part of the internal organs! Mommy, there's one meat dish, one vegetable dish, one soup, and the rice is sweet potato rice. Hurry up and come eat!"
"Mumu, didn't you say I had too much body fat and refused to let me eat internal organs? Why are you being so nice today and making it for me?"
"Now that you're getting married, I’ll make you some good meals so that after you officially move in, this young master won’t have the chance to cook for you anymore!"
"What about my bento?"
"Takeout?" Brother Mu said with a look of extreme disdain, "You're already the Young Mistress of the Ye Family, why are you still talking about takeout? Just enjoy a luxurious meal at the company! Besides, the Ye Family has chefs; there's no need for me to lift a finger!"
Damn, not learning well at such a young age, just like Ye Zixun! It's a pity that she would never again taste Brother Mu's cooking; what terrible luck.
She hurriedly opened her mouth and wolfed down the food. After a whirlwind of eating, the table was left in disarray. Mumu finally managed to clean up Lan Baobao, and the car downstairs had already started honking.
"Mommy, hurry up! Daddy's car is honking downstairs! Don't keep him waiting!"
Seeing Mumu so anxious made Lan Baobao feel suddenly empty inside. She asked, "Mumu, do you and Ruo Ruo really hope Daddy is by your side? Have you always thought about it but didn't tell me?"
Thinking about how understanding the two children were made her feel guilty.
Mumu turned to Lan Baobao with a serious yet strange look and said, "Mommy, Ruo Ruo and I just need you by our side. It's just that you have to marry Daddy. Depending on who he is, we reluctantly agree. Mommy, hurry up!"
Lan Baobao wiped her tears and grabbed Brother Mu's hand as they rushed down the stairs. Ye Zixun was almost impatient from waiting; seeing Lan Baobao with red eyes, he smiled and said, "Have you missed me so much in just a few hours that you're about to cry? Am I that charming?"
"Self-absorbed! Mumu, get in the car; let's ignore him!"
At the Ye Family Old Residence, Grandpa Ye sat at the head of the long table wearing a silver-gray Tang suit. He held a knife and fork in his hands and had an oxygen device on his nose. With a smile, he picked out meat from Snail Noodles to feed Ruo Ruo and forked a piece of steak for Mumu.
Grandpa Ye's affection for his great-grandchildren was evident to anyone who looked. After only half eating and chatting for a bit, the two pups wanted to go see the horses at the stable. Grandpa Ye cheerfully took their hands and brought along several servants.
With four peers left in the hall, Lan Baobao finally couldn't help but take off her necklace. That large diamond paired with all sorts of smaller diamonds was too much for her neck to bear!
"Gu Feng, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Ye Ziyun placed her hand on his shoulder with an air of authority. Neither Ye Zixun nor Gu Feng objected, and Lan Baobao didn't dare to either as she rubbed her head while listening to their conversation.
"I'm not leaving for a while. My sister has some matters to handle, and Zi Xun is getting married soon; I can't just run off somewhere else. Zi Xun, you better treat her well; otherwise, I won't let you off!"
"Don't worry about him; even I won't let him off! Lan Baobao, if he bullies you in the future, just hand him over to me and Gu Feng. I guarantee he'll wish he were dead!"
"With you by my side, when have I ever felt worse than death? Also, am I your brother or is she your brother? What a joke!" Ye Zixun said nonchalantly, his large hand patting the top of her head. The smile on her face faltered and stiffened as a devilish voice whispered in her ear, "Do you think I would treat you badly?"
"Good, very good, simply excellent! I've never seen such a good man. Sister, Gu Feng, you've thought too much about this," she replied.
Such blatant danger could only be pulled off by Ye Zixun.
Lan Baobao dared not offend him; after all, the terms of that agreement meant that an ordinary person could never earn that much money in a lifetime. However, she wasn't doing it for the money; it was for Mumu and Ruo Ruo. She absolutely could not offend Ye Zixun.
Li Xiaoran, as Lan Baobao's best friend, had also been dragged along by her and was now cheering from the sidelines.
After chatting for over two hours, until Lan Baobao's eyes began to glaze over, the family gathering finally came to an end. Mumu and Ruo Ruo could no longer bear the fatigue and returned to their room to sleep.
Lan Baobao quietly tiptoed in, rearranging their blankets a couple of times and leaving two gentle kisses on their faces before slowly walking out of the room.
Mumu and Ruo Ruo had always slept in the same bed since they were little. Even now, despite sleeping in separate beds, they would still hold hands before falling asleep, saying goodnight to each other first.
Both of them resembled Ye Zixun; they liked to hug something while sleeping. Once they felt secure, they would sleep particularly well without kicking off the covers. Ruo Ruo could even sleep in one position until dawn.
Unlike her, who often caught colds in winter because she liked to kick off the covers and move around when sleeping at someone else's house. On two occasions, based on the children's testimonies, she exhibited symptoms of sleepwalking. After a course of therapy with a psychologist, she finally returned to normal.
