The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

In the guard room, a group of people sat together, their eyes fixed on a certain place, observing and talking, and from time to time they also had a unique "gambling game".

"I bet ten bags of spicy noodles that the young lady's relationship with Li Shenzhi will be as solid as a rock. Breaking up? Not possible!" a young man said confidently.

"Humph, I don't think so." Another person retorted unconvincedly, "I bet twenty bags of spicy noodles that they will definitely break up!"

"I can't really say whether they're going to break up or not." At this time, a slightly cunning voice sounded, "But I'm sure that the young lady will definitely give Li Shenzhi a cold shoulder tonight. Fifty packs of spicy noodles, is there anyone who wants them?"

"Hey, your bets are too monotonous, all spicy snacks." Someone shook his head and proposed a new idea, "I bet five fragrant roast chickens, not only will they not break up, but the eldest lady will personally open the door for Li Shenzhi tonight!"

"..."

The atmosphere of the gambling game became increasingly heated, and everyone's emotions were aroused.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Captain Gao, expecting him to join this "feast".

Captain Gao folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes, as if he was in another world.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyelids, with a look of majesty and coldness in his eyes.

Everyone held their breath and waited, their eyes full of anticipation.

Captain Gao moved his lips and said in a steady and powerful voice, "I bet... your bonus this month will be deducted in half."

"Ah?" Everyone looked at each other, finding it difficult to accept this sudden "bet" for a moment.

"Just do your job well and don't talk about things that have nothing to do with you all day long!"

There was a hint of severity in Captain Gao's words, and he closed his eyes again, as if he was using his actions to warn everyone to fulfill their duties.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Everyone looked at each other. Although they felt a little unwilling, they did not dare to continue shouting.

They knew very well that Captain Gao's words were no joke and that if they violated them, they would bear the consequences.

Thus, this originally lively "gambling game" came to a quiet end under the majesty of Captain Gao.

Everyone returned to their posts and continued to perform their duties.

At the gate, soft light shone on the two of them, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet night.

Gu Ranle had already opened the door. She stood there, face to face with Li Shenzhi. Between sitting and standing, there was an indescribable emotion in the air.

"precious……"

As soon as Li Shenzhi opened his mouth, there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

He looked at Gu Ranle's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and felt mixed emotions.

Gu Ranle raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "In fact, you still have more than two hours, so you still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhi frowned, and the wrinkles on his face looked like they could pinch a mosquito to death.

"But I really don't know what I should do to make you believe that I truly love you." There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in his tone.

Gu Ranle smiled gently and said in a gentle and persuasive way: "It's not what I want you to do, but what you should do. Think about your eyes, think about your legs, tell me, am I your benefactor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhi nodded vigorously, his eyes full of gratitude, "Yes, of course, you are my great benefactor."

"Since you are my benefactor, shouldn't you hate me?" Gu Ranle continued to guide the topic, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Li Shenzhi nodded again, his voice firm: "Well, yes, I shouldn't hate you."

Then, he seemed to realize something and asked, "That's not right, when did I hate you?"

Gu Ranle did not answer his question directly, but continued to ask: "Not only should you not hate me, you should also have a good impression of me, right?"

"Yes." Li Shenzhi's expression was extremely serious, as if he was taking a solemn oath.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle's lips curled up into a deeper smile, and continued to lure the enemy deeper, "Then if the favorability is 100 points, how many points do you think you should give me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhi fell into deep thought.

He thought seriously for a minute before slowly speaking: "30 points."

"..."

Gu Ranle was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Li Shenzhi to give such an answer.

So it turns out that the 30% increase in your favorability towards me is genuine and not exaggerated?

Gu Ranle felt quite helpless and even a little annoyed.

It's like she was busy for a long time but got nothing in the end. That feeling of loss is really terrible.

She looked at Li Shenzhi's serious face and felt mixed emotions.

What should we do to continue to increase our favorability?

I thought that curing his eyes and legs would be enough.

Now it seems that this man is quite greedy!

Gu Ranle took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, then went to the guard room to find a chair and sat opposite Li Shenzhi.

"Come on, tell me why it's only 30 minutes. If you don't tell me the whole story tonight, this matter will never end!"

Although she tried to remain calm, the stiffness in her tone still revealed her inner emotional turmoil.

Li Shenzhi stared at her and asked softly, "Are you... angry?"

"No!" Gu Ranle's answer was crisp and clear, but the stiffness in her tone was like the cold wind in winter, which was hard to ignore.

"..."

Li Shenzhi thought to himself, you're just short of having the words "I'm angry" written all over your face, yet you're still being stubborn.

"Don't be angry, just listen to me."

Li Shenzhi controlled the wheelchair and moved a little closer to her. He hesitated for a moment in the air with his outstretched hand, but finally retracted it.

He pursed his lips, his expression showing a hint of mixed emotions. "In fact, I am deeply grateful for your help. Really, this intention is extremely sincere. However... gratitude and emotional affection are two different things after all. I can't lie to you just because I am grateful to you."

Hearing this, Gu Ranle sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes, "Have you not lied to me enough? Who said that you love me so much that you can't help yourself?"

Li Shenzhi's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Yes, that's exactly what he said.

He sighed helplessly and chose to remain silent. It seemed that at this moment, all his excuses seemed so pale and powerless.

Gu Ranle looked at him quietly, but her emotions gradually calmed down.

She suddenly realized something ridiculous.

To be exact, she suddenly felt very ridiculous.

Their relationship was built on hypocrisy and deception from the very beginning.

They are all wearing masks and playing their respective roles.

So, what right does she have to be angry?

Was it simply because she didn't get the results she wanted?

No, it really wasn't worth her anger.

She raised her lips slightly and said with a relieved attitude: "Li Shenzhi, let it be. Although you didn't get the money you wanted, in my opinion, what you have now may be more precious than that money. I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will be able to achieve your goal even without that money."

Li Shenzhi asked again: "Have you really decided to break up?"

Gu Ranle smiled more easily, "We have never really held hands, so where does the talk of breaking up come from?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhi nodded and did not dwell on this issue any further.

He changed the subject, "So, my follow-up treatment..."

"Don't worry," Gu Ranle said with a hint of firmness in her voice, "I am a doctor with medical ethics. I will be responsible to the end."

Li Shenzhi just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Gu Ranle continue: "But starting tomorrow, the treatment will no longer be free. I will charge according to the market price, no discount. Ten million, payable in one lump sum."

Li Shenzhi was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded, "Okay."

He understood that this was the final deal between them and also a severance of their relationship.

The news of Gu Ranle and Li Shenzhi's breakup spread like wildfire. In just half an hour, it passed through the streets and alleys and quietly landed in the quaint mansion of the Luo family in the old city, alarming the elderly Mr. Luo.

"Break up? Is this true?"

Mr. Luo held the phone, his voice filled with a hint of disbelief and anxiety.

After receiving a positive answer, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Great! That's a good division!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, turned around, and looked up and down at his eldest grandson Fu Hanting beside him with a pair of bright eyes, with a different light flashing in his eyes.

Fu Hanting was made uncomfortable by his grandfather's sudden gaze. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Luo raised a sly smile and said, "Boss, your good luck is about to come!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hanting was speechless for a moment.

Five minutes seemed to be stretched out until Mr. Luo's endless speech came to an end. Fu Hanting then asked calmly, "So, Gu Ranle really broke up with Li Shenzhi?"

"That's right!" Grandpa Luo frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with his grandson's reaction. He then raised his hand and gently patted the back of Fu Hanting's head, "Why do you look so indifferent?"

Fu Hanting took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, "Grandpa, let me handle the emotional matter myself."

When Mr. Luo heard this, his eyes immediately widened, "If you really have the ability to handle it, why are you still a bachelor?"

After saying this, Mr. Luo announced without question: "I will invite Gu to my house for dinner tomorrow. You better be smart and seize this opportunity!"

After saying that, he held the phone like a treasure and couldn't wait to call Gu Ranle and ask her to come over for dinner tomorrow.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight gently shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, Gu Ranle slowly opened his eyes.

She lay flat on her back for a minute, then got up and washed up.

As soon as I went downstairs, a familiar figure came into view.

Mr. Jiang was reading a book in the living room downstairs.

"Grandpa, morning."

Old Master Jiang suddenly raised his head, as if he had been waiting for her since morning.

He quickly closed the book and asked impatiently, "Le Le, I heard that you and Li Shenzhi broke up?"

There was a hint of caution in his tone, as well as a barely perceptible hint of worry.

Gu Ranle nodded, "Yes, we split up."

"Why?" Mr. Jiang's words were filled with a bit of urgency, as if he wanted to find out the truth behind it. "Is it because the elders of the Li family disagree, or is there some other unspeakable reason?"

Gu Ranle shook his head gently, with a smile of relief, "Neither, Grandpa. It's just that after careful consideration, I feel that we are not that suitable for each other."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his next words.

Finally, he spoke slowly, with a hint of tentativeness, "So what do you think of Fu Hanting?"

Gu Ranle was slightly stunned, then a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Grandpa has also started to play matchmaker? Do you want to bring me and Fu Hanting together?"

Mr. Jiang did not answer directly, but asked more persistently: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Fu Hanting?"

Gu Ranle thought for a moment and said seriously, "To be honest, I don't know him very well. But from the brief contact during this period, I can feel that he is a very wise and sophisticated person. His mind is deep and unpredictable."

"Do you have a good impression of him?" Mr. Jiang asked with some anticipation.

"Good impression?" Gu Ranle shook her head again, with a self-deprecating smile, "I am an absolute face control. Although Fu Hanting can be considered handsome, he is still a little short of the perfect standard in my mind."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang shook his head helplessly, and then said earnestly: "Lele, appearance is important, but a person's quality and inner qualities are the key to whether you can get along for a long time. External beauty will fade with time, but inner quality can last forever."

"You mean, Fu Hanting has a good character?" Gu Ranle asked curiously.

"That's not what I meant. After all, my understanding of him is also limited." Mr. Jiang answered frankly.

Gu Ranle nodded, "I understand, you don't need to test me. Don't worry, Li Shenzhi and I broke up not because of Fu Hanting or anyone else, but simply because I felt that we were not suitable for each other."

Mr. Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He thought she broke up with Li Shenzhi because she fell in love with Fu Hanting.

Not good.

However, it’s better to break up.

She deserves better.

Gu Ranle continued, "Grandpa Luo called me last night and asked me to come over for dinner today. Would you like to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang snorted lightly, and a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes. "Humph, he has other intentions. He clearly wants to use this opportunity to bring you and Fu Hanting together."

"So, you have to accompany me. As a junior, I can't say some things, but if you say them, it's a different matter."

Mr. Jiang shook his head in a helpless manner, but a smile appeared on his lips. "Why, do you want me to be the bad guy who 'breaks up the couple'?"

Gu Ranle blinked and said innocently, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? You are the wise man in our family, how can you be a bad person? It's just that some things require the wisdom and majesty of the elders to handle, don't they?"

Looking at Gu Ranle's playful yet serious look, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Well, since you said so, I will reluctantly accompany you."
