Although Gu Qihao was released on bail, he couldn't leave City Z for a short time.
For a long time, he stayed in the Gu family's manor, and the management of Hui Gu was only controlled remotely.
Fortunately, the upper management of the company has handled things well, so the impact of this crisis on Huigu is within a controllable range.
After what happened to Doris, many things seemed to slowly quiet down, and the whole city returned to its former tranquility.
And as time passed day by day, the new year was getting closer and closer, and the work at the end of the year was very heavy. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye both left early and returned late. Needless to say, Su Chen and the others, it took a long time. After a while, except for the occasional phone call, I couldn't see anyone at all, let alone get together.
The weather was getting colder and colder. After another heavy snowfall in the north, another cold wave quietly invaded the entire city of Z. Mr. Mu and Mu Yinan got sick and went to Zhuyun Qingfeng, where they met Gu Qihao.
In front of Mu Yinan, Gu Qihao was no longer as stern as he used to be. All he had left was calmness and apology. At least, when facing Mu Yinan, he still couldn't help restraining his temper.
After all, Mu Yinan is a person who has experienced many storms. Sitting in front of Gu Qihao now, he is very calm and calm. At that time, Gu Qihao felt an indescribable oppressive force from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Qihao didn't even know how to make a sound--
In his impression, he probably hasn't sat with Mu Yinan like this for decades.
After a while, Mu Yinan suddenly frowned and covered his mouth with a tissue. He coughed for a long time, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing this, Gu Qihao quickly reached out and poured him a cup of tea, "Uncle Mu, let's have a cup of tea."
Mu Yinan took a deep breath, and temporarily suppressed the discomfort in his throat. Watching Gu Qihao reach out for the tea in front of him, he was silent for a long time before reaching out to take it, and simply took a sip. .
"Do you know why I came to see you?"
Mu Yinan's deep voice was very old, and Gu Qihao seemed to be trembling slightly when he saw his hand holding the teacup--
In fact, the old man doesn't look too energetic, judging from his face, there is also some sickly gloomy.
Gu Qihao nodded silently. In the past, he might have been a little tough in front of Mu Yinan, but now, he knows in his heart that he already owes them too much.
"I owe you too much to the Mu family, whether it's Yu Zixi or Ling Shi..."
"If their grandma is still there, I might not be willing to see you today."
Mu Yinan said solemnly.
"Sorry, I… "
Gu Qihao wanted to apologize, knowing that these three words are the most useless things in the world.
"There is no point in pursuing these things now. You don't need to say anything. I came to see you today, not to pursue your responsibility. I have thought about it a lot these days. Back then, your Gu family and my Mu family also intended to marry Yes, but I considered the relationship between Mu and Gu's families getting colder, and I didn't want my daughter to be a victim of the family's interests, so I wanted her to make up her own mind about the marriage and respect her choice. I don't suggest her to marry into your Gu family, and I don't even want you to be my Mu family's son-in-law, who is deeply scheming."
When Mu Yinan said this, he couldn't help sighing deeply. There was unspeakable self-blame in his old eyes, "At that time, Zixi had already reacted abnormally. I thought she didn't want to embarrass me. So I objected even more, I didn't expect..."
"I was the one who found Zixi first, Uncle Mu..."
"You don't need to say these words. In this matter, Zixi was wrong, and we were also wrong, but the greater fault is yours. As a man, you did not take the responsibility of protecting your own woman. As a father, you Not to mention the responsibility of raising and caring for your own children. You are a very failed person. It proves that I did not misunderstand the person at the beginning. You Gu Qihao is such an irresponsible person. My daughter married to a pig and dog. Better than marrying a bastard like you."
Although Mu Yinan said such annoyed words, his tone was very calm.
He didn't have the energy to pursue these anymore, because--
"Ashi told me all her considerations and ideas. I'm old, and I'm afraid I don't have many years left to live..."
Mu Yinan sighed.
"No, uncle, you can live a long life!"
Gu Qihao didn't know why, he was very indifferent at first, but now when he heard Mu Yinan say that, he felt a faint sense of stagnation in his heart. He was a little afraid of the scene of parting from life and death.
"My own body, I know it myself. After their grandma passed away, my mental strength was very exhausted. Speaking of it, it may be the past few years. It is because I have experienced too much struggle and misery, so I can't bear it. Seeing that the children will have to endure such long-term misfortunes in the future. I am very open-minded, as long as the children live happily, I will be satisfied as an old man."
"Uncle, I..."
"You don't have to talk, just listen to me."
Mu Yinan took a few breaths, took a sip of tea, and continued, "I can't understand what this girl, A Shi, is thinking. She is also afraid that she will drag Ah Chen and the others down. You can do this, which also shows that You yourself are also the result of careful consideration. From the perspective of long-term results, this is not a bad idea. Leave here, thousands of miles away, and return to your territory, and you can protect them. On the one hand, It is indeed a best-of-both-worlds approach that can avoid many unnecessary conflicts."
"Did uncle agree?"
Gu Qihao listened, but looked at Gu Qihao in disbelief--
Originally, I thought that Mu Yinan would make things difficult in every possible way, otherwise he would at least scold him a few words, but...
"Otherwise? Scolding you, what price do you ask you to pay to calm the anger and resentment in your heart? I, Mu Yinan, would not do such a thing, but don't take chances. I am willing to let you go and not pursue too much Many, just for the sake of the children. I don’t want to cause them any burden because of my side. I can’t do anything for them. If I can’t make trouble for them, don’t make trouble for them. These unpleasant grievances, Bear with it, even if you can't let it go in the end, let it follow me and leave."
Mu Yinan said this, but he didn't know it. Gu Qihao listened, feeling a little uncomfortable and guilty in his heart--
