He picked up his drink, took a few sips, put it down, and got up to wash his face in the resting room.

"How come you have time to visit me?"

"Yu Bei has gone out of town, and with nothing to do at home, I thought I’d come see you."

"I knew it. He’s in City A, you’d definitely follow him. There’s no way you’d actually have free time to visit me."

"Actually, I just dealt with the trouble your brother caused me."

Gu Xichen squinted his eyes, "What happened?"

Gu Lili casually explained what had happened, and then said lightly, "They were just small fries, they couldn’t trouble me at all."

He sighed in relief, "The money Gu Minlai gave to that master was from before I took over the company. Now he, his mother, and my grandma have no money. I’ve arranged for them to be placed in another residence and kept under surveillance. What my grandma did to my mother back then, I’ve taken revenge for my mom with this as well."

"The master would be pleased to know this from the underworld."

Gu Xichen gave a bitter smile, "It’s too late. It would have been better if she could have seen this while she was still alive."

"As long as it’s done, it’s not too late," Gu Lili comforted him. "I’ve sent Jingsheng back home to get some fresh clothes for you. I know you’re busy, but you shouldn’t ignore your health for the sake of the company. If you ruin your health, you’ll lose everything."

"Tired as I was, your words have instantly revived me. Is this the power of speech?"

Gu Lili laughed, "You’re exaggerating."

"I’ve already instructed people to start renovating the Gu Family Mansion."

"Does that mean you plan to get married and have children in that mansion?"

He rubbed his temples and suddenly glanced at her, "I’d actually welcome you to live there with me."

Her comment was rather bold, and Gu Lili responded with a laugh, "Too bad I have my own house."

They looked at each other and smiled.

"What exactly do you like about Long Yubei?"

"Hard to say, to sum it up in two words—everything."

"If he truly cherishes you, he wouldn’t give others the opportunity," Gu Xichen finished his coffee. Although it was the same kind, this cup tasted different, better, not bitter at all.

He pushed his coffee cup towards her, "Make me another one."

"Okay."

Gu Lili got up, and while she was making coffee this time, she asked, "I only like my coffee with milk and without sugar, do you want sugar?"

"I also don’t like sugar. Make it the same as the last cup. By the way, how is your father-in-law’s health now?"

She laughed lightly, "He’s resting peacefully at home in bed now. He was causing trouble before, threatening to commit suicide and jumping into the river, then calling for help. After stomping around and seeing that he couldn’t intimidate anyone, he gave up. And he doesn’t think he did anything wrong; he blames me for exposing his scandal."

"He must be annoyed with you, he had been hoping for the best. But you shattered his dream."

"Let him be, I think I did nothing wrong."

When Long Fengxi saw Shen Congmo enter while she was on the hospital bed, she thought she was hallucinating.

But when he clearly stood beside her bed and spoke with her, she realized he must have found out something.

She clutched the thin blanket around her tightly, her eyes wide with panic, "How did you find this place?"

"You lied about going abroad for a trip, but came here?"

Long Fengxi admitted, "Yes."
