Gu Ranle has never been the kind of person who claims to be kind.

She has a clear understanding of herself and is well aware of the stubbornness and revenge in her bones.

If anyone dares to offend her, they must be prepared to endure her counterattack.

Just like Bai Yanlan, since she has done it, she has to bear the consequences.

The computer screen flashed and another message came in, interrupting her thoughts.

It was a message from Xiao Yuanshan.

[Xiao Yuanshan: Ms. Gu, can we meet and talk?]

Gu Ranle curled the corners of his mouth and his fingers jumped quickly on the screen.

[The Five Elements are Lack of Virtue but Not Lack of Money: No, you can’t. If you want to know the cause of Li Jiaojiao’s death, I can give you a clue. Go ask your mother-in-law, she knows everything. This is all I can help you with, no need to thank me, after all, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.]

After she sent the message, she didn't read it any more and switched pages, but then Xiao Yuanshan sent another message.

[Xiao Yuanshan: …]

[Xiao Yuanshan: Thank you. The land in the western suburbs will still be given to Gu's company. The compensation will be transferred to Miss Gu tomorrow.]

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows. This Xiao Yuanshan was quite sensible.

However, she would not accept it easily.

Some money is worth taking, but some money is too hot to handle.

Most importantly, does she need money?

Short of money?

She is not short of money!

[The five elements lack morality but not money: If this compensation is to compensate for the losses caused by your ex-wife to my home and my family, this amount of money is far from enough. If you really want to stand up for your ex-wife, then you can find my lawyer, he will tell you how much the compensation amount is.]

[Xiao Yuanshan: No, this compensation is for the harm my daughter caused you.]

[The Five Elements are not short of money: That's not necessary. I said that the accounts between your daughter and I have been settled. As for the land in the western suburbs you mentioned, if Gu really wants it, I can buy it at the market price.]

It was too naive of Xiao Yuanshan to think of using the land in the western suburbs to appease her rage for revenge.

[Xiao Yuanshan: Okay, I respect Miss Gu’s decision.]

The simple conversation revealed the tension between the two.

After finishing the chat with Xiao Yuanshan, Gu Ranle felt much better.

At least for now, it seems that Xiao Yuanshan, the father, is much more reliable than Bai Yanlan, the mother.

She exited the chat interface, stood up and walked to the sofa.

Li Shenzhi was lying on the sofa, exercising his legs in an orderly manner.

His legs had not been walked for so long that it was difficult for him to lift them, and they were shaking like sieved bran.

Even so, he actually wanted to just get down and walk.

It’s really seeking death!

Gu Ranle couldn't help but shake his head when he saw him shaking like this.

“How many leg raises?” she asked.

Li Shenzhi was sweating profusely at this time. He took a breath and replied, "85 times."

Gu Ranle pulled a chair and sat down next to him. She clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture. Her voice was deliberately delicate, "Keep going, Brother Shenzhi. Try to get a hundred times."

As soon as she said this, Li Shenzhi, who had been gritting his teeth and holding on, was instantly broken by her.

I couldn't lift my legs no matter how hard I tried. The more anxious I became, the harder it was to lift them.

The harder I could lift it, the more anxious I became.

Gu Ranle couldn't help but laugh when she saw his appearance.

"Hey, you're quite interesting. I can't encourage that."

She teased, but her tone was somewhat doting.

"Okay, don't force yourself. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. More haste makes waste. Just take your time and add five or ten each day. You'll get there quickly."

She said, pulling up her chair and moving closer to him.

She raised her hands and massaged his legs with moderate force.

"Adjust your breathing. I'll give you the acupuncture in ten minutes."

Li Shenzhi felt her massage and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He nodded and said, "Bao, I'm flattered that you're giving me a massage yourself."

Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be so self-indulgent. I'm just doing things for money. You pay me for my services, and this is what I should do."

Li Shenzhi looked at her helplessly, "Baby, is it so hard to admit that you're good to me?"

Gu Ranle increased the strength of her hands, and Li Shenzhi grimaced in pain, exclaiming, "Women have the most vicious hearts."

The two of them bickered like this, and before they knew it, ten minutes had passed.

Gu Ranle stopped massaging.

She took out a silver needle and began to give Li Shenzhi acupuncture.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, and every stitch was just right.

Li Shenzhi felt the numbing sensation brought by the silver needles inserted into the acupuncture points, and he became more and more excited about being able to stand up and walk.

While the needles were left in, Gu Ranle went downstairs to remove the needles for the two old men.

After seeing off Mr. Luo, Gu Ranle was about to go back upstairs but was stopped by Gu Jingcheng.

"Le Le, is what the second brother told me true?" Gu Jingcheng asked seriously.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, "Which one are you referring to, brother?"

"After Lanshan's graduation party, you planned to let him and Zhenzhen move out as well." Gu Jingcheng's words were a little serious.

Gu Ranle's gaze inadvertently swept across a dodging figure not far away, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, did the second brother tell you this?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingcheng's brows knitted into knots, "This second brother actually dared to lie to me! Lele, tell me the truth, has he gotten into trouble outside? I'll teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. He looked as if he was going to settle the score with Gu Lao Er right away, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Gu Ranle looked at her eldest brother's back, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitching a few times, and she quickly called out to him before he disappeared from her sight.

"Big brother!"

"Le Le, don't stop me. I must teach him a lesson today!" Gu Jingcheng's tone was full of determination.

"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with second brother. It's my own decision." Gu Ranle's voice was calm and firm.

"What do you mean?" Gu Jingcheng stopped and looked confused.

"What I mean is...Brother, why don't you and second brother move out together?" Gu Ranle made a tentative suggestion.

Gu Jingcheng became instantly excited when he heard this.

"Why? Is it because big brother hasn't handed in his salary recently? Or is it because big brother doesn't care enough about family matters? Or is it because they are making trouble again and you blame big brother for not managing them well? Or is it——"

Gu Ranle watched as her elder brother's words became more and more outrageous, so she quickly raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Stop it! Brother, I take back what I just said."

Gu Jingcheng looked at her excitedly, as if waiting for an answer of redemption.

"Really? You're not going to chase Big Brother away?"

Gu Ranle nodded slightly, a helpless smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't rush me, you can live here if you want."

"What about Lao Er and Zhen Zhen?" Gu Jingcheng asked, with anticipation in his eyes.

"It's up to you, old man. You are the boss of this place."

Gu Ranle waved her hands, looking helpless and indulgent, and walked slowly towards the main building.

She secretly sighed in her heart that her elder brother, who seemed steady and taciturn on weekdays, actually had such a lively side.

This contrast made her feel both funny and helpless.

Behind Gu Ranle, Gu Zhixuan quietly walked out from behind the tree. He witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his elder brother Gu Jingcheng.

I secretly admired in my heart: Awesome! Big brother is still awesome!
