"Don't vent your bad mood on me. I'm not your trash can." He Li didn't want to argue with Gu Yan at this time because it was meaningless.

Gu Yan knew that she was too sensitive. Zhenzhen had been missing for so long that she was indeed extremely anxious, but He Li had no reason to bear her negative emotions.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time." Gu Yan apologized to He Li very seriously, then dragged her tired body back to the room.

She fell on the bed, her mind uncontrollably imagining all the situations Zhenzhen would encounter.

"Knock knock knock." There was a sound coming from the door. Gu Yan responded and then got up.

He Li’s heart was never as cruel as he imagined. He brought up the steamed shrimp dumplings.

"I don't know what happened to you, but you still have to eat."

"Thank you, but I really don't want to eat." Gu Yan was in a bad mood and had no appetite.

He Li didn't care what Gu Yan's mood was. He walked directly to Gu Yan's side and said with some determination: "I am your creditor, you have to obey."

I always use this trick to deal with her, but the amazing thing is that this trick really works.

Gu Yan accepted the food resignedly and ate it carefully, bite by bite.

"Is Wu Zhenzhen's matter bothering you?"

He Li didn't want to get involved in Wu Zhenzhen's affairs, but her affairs affected Gu Yan, so he couldn't just ignore it.

Gu Yan was not surprised that He Li knew about it. After all, she had mentioned it when they were chatting before.

"I'll handle this myself."

"Wu Liang has gone abroad with his family. You can't find him now. He will be back after the Lantern Festival."

He Li's words temporarily reassured Gu Yan. She looked up at He Li, with indescribable feelings in her heart. She was a little confused about what kind of person He Li was.

After He Li left, Gu Yan hugged the pillow and buried herself in it.

Just now, when He Li put away the dishes and left, he gave her good news. After the Lantern Festival, she would officially start working at Haisheng.

Gu Yan opened her phone and looked at He Li's profile picture on WeChat. After thinking it over again and again, she changed the note from "He Pi Pi" to "He Boss".

Time flies, and New Year's Eve is here in the blink of an eye.

He Li needed to go back to the He family at this time. He wanted to ask Gu Yan if she wanted to go, but he didn't say it in the end.

It is not suitable for Gu Yan to go to such a hypocritical place.

When He Li went out, he told Gu Yan to go to sleep first, as he didn't know when he would be back.

Gu Yan nodded softly, and then thought about what delicious food to make later. After all, it was the New Year, and she had to make it lively even if she was alone.

When He Li arrived at He's house, there was already laughter and joy inside. Unlike the usual quietness, the house was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere.

"The third young master is back, come in quickly, the lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time." The old servant serving in the He residence hurried out to greet him.

When He Li entered the room, he saw his mother sitting upright in a wheelchair with a peaceful expression on her face, showing neither joy nor happiness.

As for the real hostess of this place, Chen Jiao, she was like a lark, busying herself everywhere. Chen Jiao was the woman of He Li's father, or more accurately, the culprit who destroyed his mother's marriage.

"Oh, the third child is back. The master was just asking why the third child came back so late this year."

Chen Jiao went forward to pull He Li, but He Li walked past her and came to his mother Ye Zhen. He Li squatted down and took out a New Year gift for his mother from a pocket beside him.

It was a bracelet of emerald green jadeite of extremely fine quality. Chen Jiao, who was standing by, stretched her head to look at it intently. For so many years, she had been staying in the He family without any official status. Even if she had no merit, she had worked hard.

But her man, He Quan, the head of the He family, had never given her anything valuable.

If it weren't for the fact that her unsuccessful son could have a place in the He family, she would have thrown a tantrum and left long ago.

Ye Zhen accepted the bracelet, but she just reached out and touched He Li's face without saying a word.

Seven years ago, my eldest brother and mother were in a car accident. One became a vegetable and the other became disabled and mute.

This is an unspeakable pain for the He family.

Zhou Feifei also brought He Xiaoyu back to the He family today. She was originally hiding in the kitchen to rest, but when she heard the noise outside, she knew that He Li had returned.

Holding He Xiaoyu, Zhou Feifei immediately went to the hall. She hadn't seen He Li for more than half a month since his last reckless confession.

He Xiaoyu rushed over and hugged He Li's legs, calling out "Daddy" sweetly.

However, He Li did not pick up He Xiaoyu as usual. Instead, he looked at his little niece calmly.

He Xiaoyu felt the indifference from He Li, and her hand gradually retracted until she called him "Uncle" again.

"Well, Xiaoyu, go see your father with your uncle."

He Li walked in front, He Xiaoyu followed nervously behind, and only Zhou Feifei was left, she was ignored in the corner.

"It seems that He Li doesn't want to be a cheap dad anymore." Chen Jiao deliberately said this in front of Zhou Feifei, and Zhou Feifei glared at Chen Jiao fiercely.

The woman Chen Jiao disliked the most was Zhou Feifei. She was obviously just an adopted daughter of the He family, but she dared to covet the He family's property. It was a pity that Zhou Feifei had a tough life and turned her husband into a vegetable.

He Li and He Xiaoyu opened the door of a bedroom on the third floor, which contained various advanced medical equipment.

Lying on the bed was He Li’s elder brother, He Mian.

"Happy New Year, bro."

Looking at the man lying on the bed, He Xiaoyu felt a little resistant. She was very afraid of this father. Although he could not speak, she was just afraid of him.

Maybe it was because Zhou Feifei never told her anything about He Mian, so in He Xiaoyu's impression, this father was very unfamiliar.

"Xiaoyu, say Happy New Year to your dad. He'll be very happy if he knows you're here to see him."

He Xiaoyu glanced at He Li. She knew that she couldn’t make her uncle unhappy.

"Happy New Year, Dad. Xiaoyu misses you very much."

The heart rate monitor next to him was still beating steadily, but He Mian didn't react at all.

He Li took a clean towel from the side and wiped He Mian's body. He didn't come to see He Mian very often. Over the years, He Li felt deeply guilty towards his elder brother He Mian and his mother.

If it weren't for him, my elder brother and mother wouldn't have become like this.

About fifteen minutes later, He Li brought Xiao Yu out of the room.

The hustle and bustle of the living room on the second floor formed a sharp contrast with the desolation in the room on the third floor. This difference made He Li feel even more uncomfortable.
