The pattern is open, after the divorce, I am popular in the expensive circle

It was rare for guests to come to the small yard, so Ning Yichu lit up the small stove and put an iron mesh on it for barbecue.

Mu Bailang and Fan Yuke were as if they were going on a picnic, fully prepared, including hot pot meatballs, fat beef, salmon, caviar, black truffles, no matter how expensive they were. The ingredients were all airlifted early in the morning and then transported in the cold chain.

The hot pot was set up, and Fan Yuke was turning the barbecue. Seeing that Gu Lingyang was still in a bad mood, Mu Bailang took out two more bottles of fine brandy from the bag.

"Lao Gu, I have spent all my money for you. This is my treasure. Come and try the taste." Mu Bailang smiled rudely, picked up the enamel cup from the country, and filled it with good brandy, " Want a bite?"

Gu Lingyang, who was still a little dull at first, was enveloped in the lively atmosphere, and his thoughts drifted away with the wind.

He shook his head helplessly, but still caught the cup firmly and glanced at it twice, "You really know how to drink, and you don't even bring a cup with you."

"Who knew you didn't have this enamel cup here? It's not good to drink from it? This is authentic." Mu Bailang said.

The two men clinked glasses, and Gu Lingyang was so amused that he curled up his lips.

In front of the sizzling barbecue and hot pot, Fan Yuke was just out of confinement and couldn't drink yet, so Ning Yichu had two drinks with the two brothers.

After a few glasses of wine, with the firelight shining on the faces of the four people, Mu Bailang started the topic first.

"Lao Gu, how long do you plan to stay here?"

Gu Lingyang's eyes flashed suddenly, the wine glass in his hand was empty, and he himself didn't think clearly about this problem.

How long will it take to escape like this?

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Lingyang poured himself a glass and took another sip.

Mu Bailang and Ning Yichu looked at each other. Both of them wanted to persuade Gu Lingyang to come out as soon as possible, but he was the only one who could figure this out.

"Aling, if you don't want to go back, let's take the three children over." Ning Yichu smiled slightly, as they were about to go on winter vacation, "You are happier here than in the imperial capital."

"Hey, Xiao Chuchu, you really can't say harsh words." Mu Bailang signaled Ning Yichu to stop talking, and stabbed Gu Lingyang in the arms with his words.

"You don't look like the Gu Lingyang I know. Li Jianbin used Gu Sinan's death to make an article about you, and you weren't the one who indirectly killed Gu Sinan. Li Jianbin has been fighting with him for so many years. Without you, Gu Sinan would have been killed by him."

Gu Lingyang's body trembled slightly, and the hand holding the cup tightened.

In the past few days, he had been thinking that if it wasn't for Gu Lingyang to be stained, Li Jianbin would not have tampered with Gu Sinan's emergency surgery.

But... Mu Bailang's words are also correct.

Who knows what Li Jianbin is thinking? Maybe the results would be the same without him.

Mu Bailang pretended not to see his emotional change, "Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes. The outcome has been determined a long time ago. If you have the time, you might as well think about how to kill Li Jianbin."

Gu Lingyang pinched his eyebrows, his thoughts were chaotic for a moment, "I have a sense of propriety."

"Honey, come on, have a bite of the roast lamb." Fan Yuke didn't listen carefully to what they were saying. He just looked at the meat in front of him and smiled as he picked up a bunch and handed it to Mu Bailang.

Mu Bailang smiled fondly, took it and tasted it, "It tastes good, it's delicious."

After being interrupted like this, the topic did not continue.

After chatting some more, Mu Bailang took Fan Yuke back.

Only Ning Yichu and Gu Lingyang were left in the yard again.

The fire was still burning, and the slight drunkenness and warm temperature made people's thoughts wander.

Ning Yichu and Gu Lingyang were lying on the lounge chairs side by side, looking at the stars in the sky. Both of them were covered with thick blankets. The firelight danced, and Ning Yichu spoke.

"Aling, the responsibility for all this is not yours. You were just a child and were taken advantage of by Li Jianbin. You didn't know it, so don't blame yourself."

The stars are bright tonight, and the night sky in the countryside is always much clearer and cleaner than in big cities. The twinkling stars are so far away from them, but their hearts are slowly getting closer...

Ning Yichu held his hand and said, "You also heard the scene recounted by Wang Xuan. Mr. Gu Sinan is a very gentle gentleman. He won't blame you. After he knows the truth, I'm afraid there will be more Guilt and heartache..."

"Aling, and your biological mother Chi Zhaoyi. Every woman knows how painful childbirth is, but she insisted on giving birth to you, which shows how much she loves you. They must be watching you in the sky at this moment, hoping that you can Be happy and safe.”

Ning Yichu's gentle words were in his ears. Gu Lingyang looked at the twinkling stars in the sky with a bit of drunkenness. The knot in his heart seemed to be through today's dinner with his best friend, and Ning Yichu. The whisper slowly dissipated.

Yes, instead of blaming yourself and being immersed in the unchangeable past and unable to let go, it is better to look forward.

His life was exchanged for his mother's life.

He kept blaming himself for not discovering earlier that there was something wrong with his life experience and not knowing earlier that Gu Sinan was his biological father.

When Gu Sinan was alive, he pressed the Gu family step by step, and the business targets were always life-and-death. He had not fulfilled his filial piety. Even before Gu Sinan died, he did not know the truth and did not have a good word with him. talk.

These regrets and guilt swallowed him up.

Ning Yichu picked up a stack of bound documents, which Tuomu Bailang had brought over today, "These are some... records related to Mr. Gu Sinan, you can take a look. Aling, I will always be here to accompany you." I hope you cheer up, don’t worry.”

That night, the lights in the courtyard did not go out.

Gu Lingyang looked at the pages of compiled records about Gu Sinan's life, as well as the travel notes written by Gu Sinan, as well as correspondence with Yu Huaiqingjiu, Chi Zhaoyi and others, etc. Gu Sinan's three-dimensional image was as three-dimensional as a mountain. , displayed in front of Gu Lingyang one by one.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Ning Yichu got up, he saw Gu Lingyang simply packing things in the courtyard.

Seeing her, a gentle smile appeared on the man's lips, which was much warmer than the inhumane indifference before.

He opened his lips, "Let's go home."

Looking at the redness in his eyes, Ning Yichu's eyes heated up, she rushed over and hugged Gu Lingyang, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

……

Special Assistant Xu came to pick him up in person. On the way back, Gu Lingyang kept his eyes closed and rested.

He had slept too little during this period. Ning Yichu looked distressed and ordered Assistant Xu to put down all the blackout curtains and put a blanket over Gu Lingyang.

Fortunately, not long after, we finally arrived at the Imperial Capital.

After returning home and briefly spending time with their three children, Ning Yichu and Gu Lingyang had no time to spare, and a pile of backlogged work was waiting for them.

After working overtime until late at night and finally getting a good sleep, Ning Yichu and Gu Lingyang were so sleepy that they couldn't even open their eyes before they even had time to say a few words.

"Sir, Miss Ning."

The next day, Special Assistant Xu walked respectfully to the two of them in the living room.

"The results of the two lawsuits filed by Miss Ning against Li Jianbin last time have come out. Li Jianbin still did not appear in court. This time, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for both crimes."

Li Jianbin's probation period is one year. During this period, as long as he does not make any serious mistakes, he can still change his ways.

But if there are still criminal acts during the probation period, then this is particularly serious and can be directly arrested and taken into custody.
