Gu Xiting had never expected that Liu Lanfen would be so fragile. She couldn't bear it in less than a week.

From the moment Liu Lanfen came to the island, he wanted her to suffer and had no intention of letting her come back alive.

He frowned. He hoped that she could live longer so that he could calm his hatred for Liu Lanfen.

"I understand. I will arrange for someone to pick up her body," Gu Xiting said calmly.

Liu Lanfen's current situation is entirely her retribution.

However, despite this, she has lived in the Gu family for so many years after all, and he should give Gu Linghan an explanation.

Gu Xiting immediately contacted Zhang Meng and asked him to arrange a helicopter to go to Liu Lanfen's location and transport her body back.

He asked Zhang Meng to send the body directly to the funeral home so that the funeral could be handled as soon as possible.

After Gu Xiting hung up the phone, he turned to Jian Wanyi and said, "Liu Lanfang committed suicide. I'm afraid we have to go back."

"Okay!" Jian Wanyi responded gently.

The work here has been almost completed, but rebuilding the house and repairing the tombs still requires further consideration.

They decided to return first and discuss what to do next.

Just as they were about to leave, Shen Guoming came to Jian Wanyi again with a friendly smile on his face.

"Niece, are you in such a hurry to leave? Since you are here, why not stay a few more days!" he invited warmly.

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but we have other things to deal with, so we have to go back first." Jian Wanyi politely declined Shen Guoming's attempt to stay.

Shen Guoming's face was filled with shame, and his voice was low: "Niece, I'm really sorry, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities and failed to take good care of you, I hope to get your forgiveness.

It was indeed my fault for building the house privately and misappropriating the land compensation funds.

But I am currently short of money and cannot return the land compensation immediately. When I have enough funds, I will definitely repay you in full, okay?"

Jian Wanyi recalled the day she spent with Shen Guoming. He had always treated them with courtesy and enthusiasm. Although he had ill intentions, he had not committed any unforgivable crime.

In just one day, they had demolished the house he had worked so hard to build, and she felt that there was no need for her to continue to be entangled with him.

"Uncle, let's forget about the compensation! From now on, we owe each other nothing and we will live our own lives." After saying this, Jian Wanyi turned around and got into the car.

Shen Guoming was so happy that his heart was filled with joy. He knew clearly that as long as he showed enough respect, given Jian Wanyi's current status, she would definitely not care about the insignificant compensation.

However, Ge Meimei did not understand his good intentions at all.

Yesterday, as soon as she got home, she started making a lot of noise, accusing him of being weak and incompetent, and she couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Facing his wife's criticism, Shen Guoming responded unceremoniously: "You are such a short-sighted woman! I did this to let Jian Wanyi vent her anger so that she won't hate us anymore."

He knew very well that Jian Wanyi was now the young lady of the Gu family, and he was her uncle.

As long as the relationship between the two can be restored to what it was before, wouldn't it be easy to get some care in the future with the help of this family affection?

Today's results fully prove that his original decision was correct.

After the group returned to Hua City, Jian Junhao went home to take care of his own affairs as the school was about to start.

Jian Wanyi and Gu Xiting went to the school together to pick up Gu Linghan so that he could say goodbye to his mother.

The head teacher asked Gu Linghan to go to the school gate, saying that someone was looking for him.

Gu Linghan arrived at the school gate and saw Gu Xiting and Jian Wanyi.

Looking at the unruly boy in front of him, Gu Xiting wondered how to communicate with him?

The two had not gotten along much in the past fifteen years. Although they were not related by blood, legally, he had been surnamed Gu for the past fifteen years, and he had been his younger brother for fifteen years.

"What do you want from me?" Gu Linghan asked directly, without a single unnecessary word.

Gu Xiting didn't care, "Your mother has passed away and will be sent to the funeral home soon.

I'm here to pick you up to see her for the last time, get in the car! . "

"Oh!" Gu Linghan replied coldly with one word and got into Gu Xiting's car directly.

Gu Xiting also got in the car and sat in the driver's seat, while Jian Wanyi sat in the passenger seat.

Gu Xiting was shocked by Gu Linghan's cold and silent reaction.

Gu Xiting thought of himself as a cold-blooded person, but the indifference that Gu Linghan showed just now was even colder than his.

He had imagined countless ways that Gu Linghan would react after learning of Liu Lanfen's death, but he had never expected that he would be so calm, as if the death was of someone who had nothing to do with him.

Gu Xiting wanted to open his heart and have a good talk with him to prevent him from being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

He confessed: “Your mother committed suicide, but it was also related to me.

I punished her by making her take care of a group of AIDS patients, and she couldn't stand it and committed suicide."

Gu Xiting said as he observed Gu Linghan's expression.

He had a premonition that Gu Linghan would be angry and might even fight with him immediately.

But unexpectedly, Gu Linghan just replied with one word coldly: "Yeah!"

Gu Xiting continued: "Don't you want to know why I do this?"

"Why?" This time Gu Linghan finally said two more words, but it seemed that it was just to cooperate with Gu Xiting.

Gu Xiting found that he talked a lot today, but in order to prevent misunderstandings and hatred from continuing, he explained: "Your mother once plotted to kill my mother in order to marry my father.

Moreover, he tried to kill me several times, and in his attempt to kill me, he indirectly caused the death of several people."

Taking Gu Linghan's self-esteem and endurance into consideration, Gu Xiting did not tell him about "Brother Hei" nor did he reveal the fact that he was not of the Gu family's bloodline.

When young people hear this, they usually get angry and lose their minds, and then defend their mothers by saying things like “I don’t believe it, he’s not that kind of person.”

But after hearing the cause of his mother's death, Gu Linghan still only replied with one word: "Oh!"

Gu Xiting didn’t know why Gu Linghan’s reaction was so different from others and so abnormal.

Although he knew that Gu Linghan was cold, taciturn, and didn't like dealing with others.

But this was the first time he had seen someone so aloof and calm.

Jian Wanyi, who was sitting next to him, observed Gu Linghan's emotions through the rearview mirror. It was not so much that Gu Linghan was indifferent, but rather that he was indifferent to Liu Lanfen. It was more like he seemed to have known that this day would come.

"Don't you have anything to say or ask?" Gu Xiting wanted to know what he was thinking.

Even if Gu Linghan wanted to hate him, he hoped that Gu Linghan could say it out loud.
