"Because she's good at fighting."

Hongdou's answer was perfunctory.

But only she herself knew that Shi Yanci was not so easy to fool. He must know that he was beaten up. If he was narrow-minded, he might cause trouble for Zhao Xinyi in private.

So she had to keep Zhao Xinyi by her side.

Fortunately, I brought Zhao Xinyi with me.

The afternoon schedule was arranged at the last minute and few people in the company knew about it.

But as luck would have it, it was unfortunately leaked.

Whisk Teahouse.

Hongdou arrived fifteen minutes early.

Before getting out of the car, I saw Zhao's mother sitting at the door eating bread with an opened bottle of mineral water in her hand. It was obvious that she was prepared for a battle.

"Xinyi, have you ever hit an old man?"

"What a joke! How can I be considered a person if I hit an old man? I won't bully the weak!" Zhao Xinyi asked hurriedly while driving, "Boss, do you have a grudge against the old man too?"

"What do you mean by 'also'?"

Hongdou lightly picked up her bangs:

"I have always been a person who makes friends with people, but..."

"But you have a grudge against the old man, right?"

Hongdou glanced at the entrance of Fuchen Teahouse and motioned her to look over there:

"To be precise, they have a grudge against me."

Zhao Xinyi glanced at her and immediately sat up straight to correct her:

"Come on, is she an old person? She is clearly an old monster with great destructive power and strong fighting ability!!!"

Fortunately, she did her homework in advance and got to know Zhao's mother.

"There is only one entrance to the teahouse, and the car must be parked in the front yard. The customer will arrive in fifteen minutes." Hongdou explained the situation they were facing with a smile.

Fifteen minutes was not enough to get rid of Zhao's mother, an old mother who was determined to vent her anger for her son.

If the client saw that the feud between her and her ex-mother had affected her work, then the client would be gone.

Zhao Xinyi understood immediately:

"Don't worry, leave it to me. In ten minutes at most, I will make this old monster leave with a smile on his face."

"You have this ability? I thought you only knew how to fight and kill."

Anko teased.

Zhao Xinyi stopped the car, got out and patted Hongdou who was sitting in the passenger seat:

"I generally don't like to waste my words, because I think that any problem that can be solved by force is not a problem, but this rule only applies to humans, not old monsters."

The main reason is that she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

After all, the other party is older.

"Go ahead, Ultraman. I'll be waiting for you in the car."

Hongdou switched to the driving seat, took out her cell phone and asked Gu Junxie if he wanted to work overtime tonight. She wanted to take her grandfather to Grandma Mao's private restaurant for dinner.

Gu Junxie replied quickly and said he had to work overtime in the evening.

But in fact he is now in a psychological rehabilitation center.

Professor Qin has been staying here for several days and has not returned. He made an appointment with Professor Qin's attending physician, but the other party refused to disclose the patient's condition and specific treatment plan on the grounds of protecting the patient's privacy.

Gu Junxie had no choice but to go straight to the point and stopped Nan Yunsheng who had just parked his car at the gate of the treatment center.

"dad."

As soon as Gu Junxie opened his mouth, Nan Yunsheng was so scared that he immediately got into the car.

"dad."

Gu Junxie sat in the passenger seat, holding the lunch box that Nan Yunsheng had placed on the passenger seat, opened it, took a look, and smelled it, "Dad, it's not bad, these are all the dishes that our mom likes to eat, I took a bite, hmm, it smells good, Hongdou has been clamoring to go back to her mother's house for a free meal recently, I guess she misses this."

Watching Gu Junxie chatting with him as if nothing had happened.

Nan Yunsheng sighed:

"Xiao Gu, why are you here?"

"Waiting for you, Dad."

Gu Junxie made no secret of it:

"Tell me, I understand why you hid something as serious as our mom's illness from Hongdou. After all, Hongdou has signed a bet agreement with the company and just bought a house. The pressure is really great. But why are you hiding it from me, your son-in-law, who is half of you? Are we a family?"

"Yes!"

Nan Yunsheng nodded with difficulty:

"But Xiao Gu, how did you know your mother was sick? And how did you find this place?"

They have kept it a secret for so many years.

Gu Junxie said honestly:

"That night you drove me and Hongdou away, and I was very puzzled. Later, Su Su got married and went on her honeymoon. Before she left, she found me and said that our mother came every three months, but this time it seemed to be earlier. Dad, did something happen?"

Nan Yunsheng had no idea where to start.

After a long silence, Gu Junxie checked the time:

"Dad, why don't you take the food to our mom first?"

"Don't tell Anko that your mother lives here."

Nan Yunsheng warned in a low voice.

Gu Junxie said no, but then he changed the subject and said, "Dad, Hongdou is very busy at this time, so you can keep it a secret. When the house is renovated, she wants to bring you two old people to live together. By then, I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret."

"You bought a new house and you want us to live with you? How can you say that! If you want to move us in, you should move in the elderly from your family. Hongdou did something really outrageous. Dad will talk to her about it later."

"Now that I'm here, Dad, don't hide it from me. Either you tell me now, or wait until you deliver the meal and then we can find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

"I'll go deliver the food first."

Nan Yunsheng was conflicted.

He got out of the car and went in carrying his lunch box.

Less than ten minutes later, he came out and took the initiative to say after getting in the car, "There is a Fairy Mountain nearby. Let's go there and sit for a while."

Fairy Mountain?

Around here?

Gu Junxie was very curious. Although this place was a bit remote, the view was wide and there was no trace of mountains.

"Dad, the nearby area you mentioned... isn't it a bit far?"

Looking around, the only thing that looked like a mountain seemed to be a long way away.

Gu Junxie scratched his head:

"I was mainly worried that our mother would look for you after dinner, and that you wouldn't be able to get back in time."

"Not far! It's nearby. Just turn the corner and go straight."

Nan Yunsheng was driving very slowly.

After turning a corner, Gu Junxie looked at the river not far away and fell silent for a moment.

Just turn a corner and go straight and you will reach Fairy Mountain.

But not far away is a big river without a bridge.

This mountain...

Could it be a mirage?

Gu Junxie was nervous. He drove slowly for a while in the car. When they were near the river, Nan Yunsheng pulled the car over and said with a heavy face:

"We have arrived at Fairy Mountain."

"Arrived...Arrived?"

Gu Junxie got out of the car doubtfully and followed Nan Yunsheng along the riverside for less than half a minute when Nan Yunsheng suddenly stopped.

What caught Gu Jun's eye was a big tree.

There is a small mound under the tree.

To be precise, it is a small mound made of cement.

Nan Yunsheng squatted down, gently brushed away the fallen leaves on the small mound, and whispered, "This is Fairy Mountain."
