When all the brothers who lived in the Gu family mansion finished offering incense to Gu Zhenxiong, the Gu family's New Year's Eve meal officially began. Everyone was sitting around the table, talking and laughing merrily.

During the meal, Gu Zi shamelessly stretched out his hand to ask for a red packet from Teacher Tang, who reprimanded him with the corner of his eye, "You're almost 30 years old, and you still have the nerve to ask for a red packet."

Gu Zi asked disapprovingly, "So what if you're thirty? You said before that as long as you're not married, you can receive red packets."

"Are you sure you want to talk about marriage?" Teacher Tang kindly reminded him with a smile, "You better not regret it."

Gu Zi didn't dare to ask anymore, otherwise, his blind date for the new year would immediately be on the agenda. This kind of tradition, which was loved by many parents, definitely wasn't to scare people off, but he still pouted and said unhappily: "If you don't give it, then don't give it, you're so stingy."

Teacher Tang gave him a pig chop that he loved to eat, which blocked his leisurely way of speaking, "You want to get a red packet even before you give me a New Year greeting?" Let me first announce that all of you will receive your red packets before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. If it's too late, we won't wait any longer. "

Gu Zi asked as he proudly compared notes with a victorious scissor. Teacher Tang and Gu Zi Yu tacitly looked at each other, as they used to say that this gesture was childish, but now, they were using it more frequently than anyone else …

The meal lasted more than two hours before it came to an end. Taking advantage of the servants serving the fruit, Moss asked, "What are you going to do later?"

Gu Si raised his hand first. "Let's go to the city square to see the fireworks and cross the year with everyone."

Gu Zi asked if he agreed. "There are too many people at the city square. It's not safe. Let's not go."

Gu Ziyu couldn't bear to spoil Gu Si. Sometimes, she even acted more like her own mother than Gu Zi did. "It's alright, we won't leave the carriage. We won't bump into each other."

Mo Siwen's attitude didn't need to be said. As long as Gu Ziyu was around, his sense of existence could be ignored. It was up to his wife to decide.

Teacher Tang also supported Gu Si's suggestion. It was the new year, so she wanted to stir up a commotion. She also followed these young people and went outside to welcome the arrival of the new year.

In the end, according to the result of the 4-1 vote, the minority obeyed the majority and decided to go out to watch the fireworks after dinner.

It was useless for Gu Ziwen to oppose him, so he didn't participate. He said to the old man and the younger generation, "I won't be going."

Gu Ziyu disapproved of his solitary action and stood up to lift him up. "What are you doing at home? Watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

Gu Zi pulled back his chair and took a step back. With his nose to the sky, he arrogantly said, "Can you control it?"

Gu Ziyu clenched her fist and rotated her wrist in an attempt to show him whether she could hold him or not. Teacher Tang, however, handed her a hand: "Forget it, you're an older sister. Don't bother with him." She gave her a forgiving look and said, "It's fine if he doesn't want to go. We're just playing with us." He took her daughter, son-in-law and grandson out with him.

Not long after they left, Gu Zi asked for the key to the new house and left the house.

Gu Zi asked her how she was going to wait in the new house until half past ten for Mumei Ming, but she still hadn't received her call. He patiently waited for her for another half an hour before he finally couldn't help but send a message to her, "Girl, do you want to eat your New Year's Eve meal until next year?"

Ming Xue Mo, who was still guarding outside the ward, felt the phone in her bag vibrate. She took it out and looked at it, then remembered the agreement she had with Gu Zi. Her uncles and aunts were also still in the hospital, so it wasn't good for her to reply him in front of them. She pretended to go to the bathroom and hide inside to reply, "Big Brother Gu, I'm in the hospital."

Gu Zi asked once he saw her message. He immediately became nervous and asked, "What happened to you?"

Mingxue had just written three words — "I'm fine." Gu Zi's phone call came. When she answered, she said, "Hello?"

"Little girl, why did you go to the hospital?" His words were filled with worry.

"My grandpa suddenly fainted. He hasn't woken up yet." Ming Xue Mo's mood was heavy. Even though she wasn't that close to her grandfather, she was still worried when she saw him suddenly have an emergency.

"…" Gu Ziwen let out a light breath. Luckily, she was fine. After calming himself down, he asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"It's a stroke caused by excessive mood swings."

Gu Zi asked to persuade her not to worry too much, "Once a person gets old, all sorts of illnesses will follow. This is unavoidable because of the decline in body functions. Fortunately, the medical standards are more and more advanced, so your grandfather will definitely recover."

"En!" Ming Xue Mo replied in a muffled voice.

Gu Zi asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Hungry?"

"… …." I can't eat. "

"Even if you can't, you need to eat more. Don't wait until your grandpa wakes up, you all fell down. "Which hospital are you in, I'll pick you up."

Ming Xue Mo quietly reported the hospital to him.

Gu Zi asked, "You can come back in twenty minutes."

"Alright."

Mingxiu hung up the phone and went back to her chair outside the ward. After a quarter of an hour, she stood up and said to Cao Qinggrong: "Grandmother, I'll go back first. I'll come see grandpa tomorrow."

Cao Qinggrong didn't say anything and only waved her hands at her irritably, as if she didn't have the time to care about her.

However, when Ming Xue and her son got into the elevator, she pulled a long face and complained to Ming Yi, "Your father has no conscience. He never comes back to see your father all year round, and this little one sees that your father is already like this, and she still wants to leave first!"

"Mom," Mingyi tried to persuade Cao Qinggrong to calm down. "Everyone knows what kind of person Second Brother is. Don't get angry at him, it's not worth it."

Cao Qinggrong said that, of course, she could distinguish between the strong and the weak, "I'm just afraid that your father is too old and stupid." To put it bluntly, he was worried about how much property Mingli had distributed to Mingli in his will. She pointed at her four children one by one. "Your father is in a dangerous situation this time, I don't know how the situation will turn out. I'm warning you, all of you calm down and do your best to show off, or else if your father gets angry, none of you will be able to get away with it and the Mingli family will be taken advantage of."

"Ma — —" Ming Yi carefully played the role of the caring little cotton-padded jacket and was the first to express her opinion, "We know what to do."

The other three sons of the Ming family also echoed, "Yes, Mom. We know what we're doing."

Without needing to think about it, Ming Xue Mo knew what they would say after she left, it definitely had something to do with the inheritance. At this moment, she felt really sad for her grandfather, because no one could be sure whether these "filial sons" guarding outside his room cared about him or his money.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital with regret in their hearts, Gu Zi asked if she could call Uncle Zhong and tell him not to wait with her.

Uncle Zhong thought she was going to stay at the hospital and didn't insist on waiting for her, so he went back first.

After a while, Gu Zi's car arrived. Mingxue pulled open the door and sat in the car, forcefully smiling at him as she said: "Big Brother Gu, good new year."

Gu Zi's eyebrows slanted as he pursed his lower lip. He walked over to help her fasten her seat belt, and said as he turned the wheel, "If you're tired, then you should close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time."

Ming Xue Moyan shook her head, her two small hands interlocked with each other in annoyance, "I'm not tired, it's just that things happened too suddenly, catching people off guard."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to your grandfather."

Mingxue looked into his comforting eyes, her agitated heart gradually calmed down. With a soft 'hmm', she leaned back in her chair.

Gu Zi didn't say anything else and just held her hand as they drove.

Far away, under the background of the fountain curtain, the words' West Garden's shore 'appeared beautifully before his eyes and became clearer and clearer. Gu Zi asked her to drive into the garage and open the door for them to get out. However, he was in no hurry to close the car, so he leaned on the door and asked with a smile, "I came to check up on you that day and saw that there's a pool of wishes. Do you want to make a wish?"

Ming Xue Mo didn't expect there to be a pool in the district, but she had already noticed the beautiful scenery along the way. Along the way, there were many flowing fountains, artificial mountains and waterfalls, making the scenery even more beautiful than the central garden. Since the theme was water, it wasn't surprising that there was a pool of wishes here. Nowadays, real estate agents could do whatever they wanted to attract customers.

Ye Zichen nodded with certainty. She wanted to seek peace for her grandfather.

"Then let's go." Gu Zi asked before closing the door. He walked around and held her hand as they walked towards the Wishing Pool.

However, when Mingxue was led to their destination by Gu Zi, she looked at the huge, circular, pillar shaped fountain in front of her. Compared to the ordinary pool, this one had an extra large tree in the middle, but was still a normal pool.

"Of course." Gu Zi would definitely ask. Isn't the Wishing Pool like this in other places? It's just that they have red cloth strips on their trees. If it hadn't been for this sudden and hasty event, he would have been able to make it look exactly like any other pool.

"There's not a single coin in it." Mingxue pursed her lips and pointed to the clean ground.

Gu Zi asked with a sigh, "Why don't you throw one in and you'll have it?"

Ming Xuemei knew that this was just an ordinary pond. He wanted to let her feel at ease so he would call it the Wishing Pool on purpose. She always had all sorts of troubles, and he always had all kinds of ways to get rid of her …

She can't let down his good intentions. So what if it is an ordinary pond? She believes that if you are sincere, you will still be able to … Mingmei let go of Gu Zi's hand and rummaged through her handbag. Unfortunately, there were only notes and a bank card inside.

"I don't have any coins." She frowned slightly.

Gu Zi asked and took out his wallet to look through it layer by layer. "I don't have one either." He suggested tentatively, "How about a bank note?"

"No." She was afraid that the bill was not heavy enough, as God would not be able to feel it.

Gu Zi asked as he stuffed his wallet back into his pocket. "Then let's go change coins."

"Alright."

"Do you want to drive?"

"Walk." She felt that was good enough.

Gu Zi asked as they walked side by side out of the residential complex. Moreover, the house they had just delivered, as well as the surrounding facilities, needed time to perfect. Thus, after walking for a long time, they finally saw a convenience store in the distance, and when they approached, they saw a notice written in red paper and black on the roller shutter door: "New Year's Eve, New Year's Day."

Gu Zi looked at the sign and the empty road ahead of them and asked, "Are we going to keep going, or should we change here?"

"He closed the door, how do I change it?" Ming Xue Mo asked him doubtfully.

The bandit temperament that Gu Zi asked came back. "She's keeping her, I'll trade for mine. It's not like there's any conflict."

"You want to open the door?" Her eyes widened. Although he was a young master of the underworld, he had never done anything bad. She did not want him to do anything that went against his principles for her. And if God knew that their money had been exchanged for someone else's door, he wouldn't have fulfilled her wish.

Gu Zi glanced at her with a feigned anger. "Is that all I'm capable of in your eyes?" He would never do something like this that would ruin his own image. Ye Zichen waved his phone in front of her and announced, "I'll call the landlord to come back and open the door." He even used a heartbroken tone to scold her, "I didn't expect you to look at me like that. It's really suffocating."

Ming Xue Moyan forced out a smile, holding his hand and apologetically saying in a slightly spoiled manner, "I was wrong."

Gu Zi wanted to glare at her again, but he felt that her holding his hand was so cold that he couldn't keep it up for a moment. He wrapped his hand around her and asked with a sincere and concerned expression, "How come your hand is so cold?"

At his question, Ming Xue Mo felt a chill coming over her. She was wearing a dress, how could she not be cold at midnight when the temperature was close to ten degrees? Originally, she was in the hospital, but after getting on the car, she did not feel the cold outside at all. However, as she walked, the cold wind was blowing all the way.

Gu Zi asked as he quickly took off his khaki windbreaker and draped it over her. However, he was only wearing a single layer of thin T-shirt, which was not as thick as her small dress. Seeing it, Mingxue knew that she shouldn't freeze him to keep warm, so she resolutely refused, "You don't wear much. If you give me your jacket, you'll also get cold."

Gu Zi asked with a cough, "I'm a man, my firepower is great, I can't be cold."

Ming Xue Mo still insisted on giving it back to him, "No way, the young are angry, I'm younger than you, you have to wear these clothes."

"Are you looking down on me for being old?" Gu Zi placed his hands on his hips and pretended to be unhappy. "Let me tell you, I'm someone who can't stand to be humiliated the most. If you refuse again, do you believe that I'll throw it away?"

Ming Xue Mo's temper was even more overbearing than his, "You dare to throw it!" He took off his coat and, like an old man who was paralyzed and unable to move, helped him to put it on with one hand.

Gu Qishao was stunned for a short moment. This girl was truly like the inky black ink. Right now, she was actually even more domineering than he was?

But she shouldn't think that she could shock him just like that. His father, Gu Zhenxiong, who was in the Kingdom of Heaven, had taught him that being carefree in the martial arts world was the most important thing. If he were to be eaten by her like this, how would he be able to go out and mess with her in the future? He wanted to let her see that she wasn't the only one who had a temper!

Gu Ziquan came back to his senses and was about to take off his clothes.

Mingxue, however, held his restless arms tightly and led him to stretch them out slowly. When he had stretched them out, she leaned into his arms so that his clothes could be worn on his body and the cold wind could be blocked for her. Then, she leaned against his body, lifted her face, and with clear eyes, she stared at him and asked, "Wouldn't this be better than throwing it?"
