On the other end of the phone, the man spoke with a foreign accent: "Okay, send me the information of the owner of the phone. Do you need any information in it?"

Gu Jinlan said: "Delete all private photos and videos of women from his phone and copy them to me."

Since Shi Xuan’s phone contained Ye Jingwan’s sex videos, there must also be those of other girls.

"OK, no problem."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Has everything been going well recently?"

The man said: "There has been very little progress, and we don't have much time left."

Gu Jinlan was silent for a moment. "I know. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate. Just go ahead and do it. Leave the funding to me."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

"Yeah, so do you."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinlan walked to the balcony and lit another cigarette.

She looked up at the dark night sky, with fine rain falling on her face.

Life is always like this.

Just when a little sunshine shines into my heart and a little hope begins to grow, a rain suddenly comes and extinguishes the budding hope.

--

Early in the morning, Shi Ye was still asleep when he was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

He closed his eyes tightly, reached for the bedside table, touched the phone and hung up.

Ever since he moved into the guest room where Gu Jinlan slept, he has slept much better than before.

The cell phone rang again without getting tired of it.

Shi Ye finally opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of grumpiness in his brows.

Take the phone and answer it.

"Xiaoye, aren't you up yet?"

Hearing grandma's voice, his brows relaxed, "Yeah."

The old lady said: "A day's plan begins in the morning. Get up quickly and don't sleep in."

Shi Ye said lazily, "Grandma, today is a holiday."

There are 365 days in a year, and the days he sleeps in can be counted on one hand.

Madam Shi scolded, "You haven't even coaxed your wife home yet, why are you sleeping in?"

Shi Ye smiled helplessly.

"Let me ask you, how are you and your wife doing now? Is there any progress?"

"Have."

"Really?!" Mrs. Shi was surprised. "How far have you come?"

"She already considers me a friend and no longer calls me Mr. Shi."

"..." Madam Shi was silent for a moment, "That's it?"

"Well, take your time."

"Slow down, you big head ghost!" Old Madam Shi said anxiously, "Gu Jinlan is so outstanding, but she doesn't care about you. If you don't work harder, what if another man chases her away?"

Shi Ye suddenly stopped talking.

He was already very proactive, but he could still feel that she was intentionally trying to keep a distance from him.

Her heart seems to be closed, making it difficult for people to get close to her.

Madam Shi said, "Forget it. I don't blame you. After all, you have never chased a girl before. It seems that I have to help you personally."

"What does grandma want to do?"

"I can only help you coax your wife. What else can I do? Anyway, you are always on standby and wait for me to contact you."

After saying this, the old lady hung up the phone.

Shi Ye was not worried. His grandmother liked her granddaughter-in-law Gu Jinlan very much and would not do anything wrong.

After washing up, he went to the restaurant downstairs and suddenly smelled a different breakfast scent than usual.

Zhao Jinchen and Shi Xingran were already sitting at the dining table, both of them concentrating on eating, as if they were competing to see who could eat faster.

Hearing footsteps, Zhao Jinchen looked up and said, "Aye, come quickly and try the breakfast made by Yuner herself, tomato and egg noodles. Everyone in our family likes the tomato and egg noodles she makes."

Shi Ye walked over and sat down.

At this time, Zhao Shiyun brought another bowl of tomato and egg noodles and placed it in front of Shi Ye.

Shi Ye was a little surprised, "You did it?"

Zhao Shiyun smiled and nodded.

This is what she does best and the only thing she knows how to do.

Shi Ye was a little bit unconvinced that a rich lady like Zhao Shiyun, who had never done housework, would actually cook by herself.

He looked at the chef following behind Zhao Shiyun.

The chef also nodded, with a look of admiration on his face: "It was indeed made by Miss Zhao herself. She didn't even let me help. I didn't expect that she had such cooking skills!"

Zhao Shiyun said modestly: "It's nothing. I usually have nothing to do at home, so I want to cook something for my parents and brothers."

She looked at Shi Xingran, "Ranran, is it delicious?"

Shi Xingran was sucking on a noodle in his mouth and said incoherently, "It's delicious!"

The chef said, "When Miss Zhao was making it just now, I was learning from her. If the young master likes it, I can make it later."

Seeing that her cooking skills were recognized by Shi Xingran, Zhao Shiyun smiled even more and said to the chef, "I'll tell you in detail later. This is a secret recipe that I won't share with anyone else."

"Thank you, Miss Zhao!"

"You're welcome. As long as Ranran and Brother Ye like it, it's fine." Zhao Shiyun looked at Shi Ye, "Brother Ye, please eat quickly. If the noodles clump together, they won't taste good."

Shi Ye picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and his eyes lit up slightly.

It tastes really good!

Then Zhao Shiyun also sat down and ate with everyone.

After Zhao Jinchen finished eating, he wiped his mouth and said, "Aye, I'm going back tonight. Yuner wants to stay in Haicheng for a few days, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her for me."

Shi Ye’s hand holding the chopsticks froze.

He raised his head, glanced at Zhao Shiyun, and then looked at Zhao Jinchen.

"Yun'er is your sister. She is in Haicheng. I will take good care of her even if you don't ask me to. But... it's not appropriate for a girl to live alone in my place. I have other empty houses that can be cleaned up immediately, and a few people can be transferred from here to take care of her daily life."

These words not only maintained the relationship between friends, but also made it clear that he wanted to keep a distance from Zhao Shiyun.

Zhao Jinchen glanced at Zhao Shiyun.

He knew his sister just wanted to live here.

But since Shi Ye had already expressed his opinion, it would be difficult for him to insist on anything.

Just as he was about to nod his head in agreement, Zhao Shiyun said first: "Brother Ye, please let me live here. I want to play with Ranran. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Hearing this, Shi Ye's handsome brows frowned slightly.

Zhao Shiyun added: "I live here alone. Are you worried that others will misunderstand our relationship? If someone misunderstands, I will definitely explain it clearly and will not cause you any trouble."

"You are my brother's best friend, so you are also my brother. I will listen to you. Don't chase me away, okay?"

Hearing his sister's coquettishness, Zhao Jinchen felt a little embarrassed and said, "Yun'er, don't make things difficult for Aye."

Zhao Shiyun was about to cry: "I promised that I would not cause any trouble to Brother Ye...

Zhao Jinchen couldn't bear to see his sister cry, so he suddenly softened his heart and turned to Shi Ye and said:

"Aye, is this okay? Let Yuner stay here for a few more days. If she doesn't obey or if there's anything that makes you unhappy, call me and I'll come and pick her up right away."

Shi Ye nodded helplessly, "Okay."

The brother and sister have said so much, if he refuses again, he will be giving Zhao Jinchen no face.

"Thank you, Brother Ye!" A smile immediately appeared in Zhao Shiyun's tearful eyes.

"However, there is something I need to remind you of." Shi Ye put down his chopsticks, "Lan Lan sometimes comes to accompany Ran Ran, I hope you can get along well with her."

The smile on Zhao Shiyun's face froze for a moment, and he nodded quickly, "Okay! I will definitely get along well with Lanlan, don't worry, Brother Ye!"

"That's good. Take your time eating. I have some things to take care of today."

After Shi Ye finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Just when I went downstairs, I received a call from Jiang Kun. He had found out that the mastermind behind last night's incident was his good-for-nothing cousin Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan was in his villa outside at this moment.

Usually, the Shi family lives in the old house, but everyone has a temporary place to stay outside.

Shi Xuan was sleeping soundly when the door was suddenly pushed open. The loud noise startled him so much that he jumped out of bed.
