C263

After not returning home for nearly half a month, when Ye Wanqing saw that villa again, he felt like he had been cut off from the outside world. It was as if what happened in the villa was a memory from his previous life, so distant that it felt unreal.

When he arrived home, it was a little late. The surroundings were pitch black, and only the lights in the house brought some warmth.

The recent days were chaotic, Ye Wanqing did not call the two children, he did not know how they were doing.

Ye Wanqing was a little bit nervous. She was afraid that if she went in, she would see the two children's tear-filled face. That way, she would automatically think of many things.

The child was her weak spot. No matter how many hardships she had experienced, she couldn't harden her heart when facing them.

When the car reached the door, Lu Zhou got off the car and opened it, respectfully saying: "Madam, after you!"

Ye Wanqing had long been waiting at the side. He reached out to pick her up, but was rejected by Ye Wanqing: "Her leg is much better now, don't hug her, don't scare the child."

Afraid that he was looking for an excuse to misunderstand, Ye Wanqing grabbed Gu Jinyuan's hand and placed it on his waist, allowing him to carry him forward.

The gesture was intimate enough.

Gu Jinyuan did not say much and tightened his arms slightly. He hugged onto and carried Ye Wanqing into the room.

The lights in the room were on, but the scene that Ye Wanqing imagined did not appear. The two children were not downstairs, and Old Man Gu was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.

It was unknown when the old tutor had arrived, nor did he know how long he had been sitting there. He sat up straight with a cane in his hand, full of vigor.

Suddenly, he saw the old man sitting in the great hall. Ye Wanqing was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to increase the distance between him and Gu Jinyuan, but he was stopped by Gu Jinyuan's waist and directly brought to sit down.

The old tutor was unperturbed, his gaze following their movements. When they sat down, he didn't speak and just watched, silently putting pressure on them.

Ye Wanqing did not make a sound, he lowered his head and looked at the patterns on the carpet, Gu Jinyuan who was sitting by the side was extremely pleased, he did not have any intention of ignoring the old man.

After sitting in silence for a while, the old man finally could not hold it in anymore and took the initiative to ask, "You left the company earlier today?"

He was asking about Gu Jinyuan, but did not seem to care about it. Ye Wanqing was happy to be at ease, and relaxed his body and sat down.

"It's my business."

indifferently replied, he did not place the old man in his eyes at all. Now that a few shareholders had withdrawn their funds, as Gu Jinyuan was the highest leader of the Gu’s in the country, even if the old man were to sit here, he would not be able to interfere in the matters of the Gu’s.

"For the sake of a woman's selfishness, you've grown up?"

The old man lightly tapped on his walking stick twice. Gu Jinyuan lifted his gaze and looked at the old man, his eyes filled with treason and indifference: "The Gu’s was developed personally by me in the domestic market. In the end, no matter what it becomes, I won't let it collapse just because I'm absent for a few days!"

This was a battle that he had single-handedly brought down with him. If he were to leave now, he would immediately be defeated, and that would be too much of a failure for him.

"Blind confidence!"

Old Man Gu snorted coldly, obviously disagreeing with Gu Jinyuan's words.

Ye Wanqing sat at the side and listened, suddenly he felt that the room was extremely quiet, and a thought appeared in his mind. He looked up at the old man in panic, and tried his best to ask calmly: "Where are Mu Mu and Lin Lin?"

After asking this question, Ye Wanqing strangely calmed down.

In the end, Mu Mu and Lin Lin were still the children of the Gu family. No matter where Old Man Gu took the children, he would not treat them harshly.

As for her feelings, they had never considered them to be true.

Losing them without bidding farewell to the two children might become a lifetime of regret for Ye Wanqing, but what he should face would come sooner or later. Leaving without warning like this might be the best outcome for them all.

Now that he understood what was going on, Ye Wanqing's expression became calmer. The old man had been observing the changes in her expression the entire time and interest flashed through her eyes.

Gu Jinyuan did not directly ask, but turned to look at the butler. The butler did not dare to make things look mysterious like the old man, but honestly raised his head and pointed upstairs, indicating that the two young masters were resting upstairs.

Receiving this reply, Gu Jinyuan patted Ye Wanqing's shoulder, signalling to her not to worry. He then looked towards the old man, and silently asked him what he came here to do this time.

"I came to see my great-grandson. I'll stay here for a few days."

Old Man Gu calmly said, not feeling that his request was sudden and unreasonable.

Gu Jinyuan was also shocked by the old man's request. He repeated uncertainly: "How many days do you want to stay here?"

The steward hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, master's luggage has already been flown in the day before yesterday. The lord wants to live in the room next to the two young masters, and tomorrow, he still has to go to the kindergarten with the two young masters to attend the parents' meeting."

This meant that the old man had decided to stay at Li City after Gu Jinyuan had suddenly disappeared from the Fashion Week.

"They are my seeds. I know how to discipline them. I will go to the parents meeting myself!"

Gu Jinyuan said with a dark face. He really didn't like the feeling of others insisting on meddling in his own life.

The old tutor looked at him with a dark and heavy gaze that carried a sense of coolness. He felt as if he had gone through thousands of trials and tribulations just to look back at an insensible kid.

"You know how to discipline them?" The old man asked, and did not wait for Gu Jinyuan's reply. "Then do you know about the matter of your son vomiting and diarrhea the day before yesterday? Did you know that he was sick for two days and kept crying to find his parents? "

"Mu Mu and Lin Lin are sick?" Ye Wanqing keenly grasped the crux of the matter, and anxiously blurted out: "Why didn't you call me?"

Even if Gu Jinyuan was busy working, she still had time!

The old man didn't answer her, he didn't even spare a glance for her.

Ye Wanqing suddenly understood that since the old man did not recognize her as the Mrs. Gu, he would naturally not treat her as his child's mother. No matter what happened to the child, she was not qualified to know.

Facing the old man's question, Gu Jinyuan frowned and thought about it. He hadn't picked up the phone too much in the past few days, so he really didn't notice that the old man had called.

Seeing that both of them were reflecting on themselves, the old man stood up using his walking stick and said solemnly: "I don't care how messy the company looks like, the Gu family's bloodline can't be trifled with, these two children must be taken care of by me. If you're not satisfied, then give it a try!"

The old man's attitude was very unyielding. He could have just brought the two children back to the house while Gu Jinyuan was still distracted, but that would have meant that he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Gu Jinyuan.

The old tutor was well aware of how vicious this wolf cub was. There was no need to take that step yet.
