Gu Kang and Zhao Lili were filled with joy, thinking that this was a celebration for their youngest daughter Gu Lanshan's entrance to school, but they completely forgot a crucial fact -

This banquet was actually organized by Gu Ranle who generously donated money.

In fact, those guests who came in an endless stream were not there for Gu Lanshan, nor for the relationship between the couple, but for the reputation and prestige of Gu Ranle and Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Ranle had already made arrangements for the gifts given by the guests. He specially cleared out an empty room as a storage place and assigned someone to guard it to prevent any accidents.

And this "unexpected event" happened to this couple.

Gu Ranle knew the character of this couple very well.

The banquet was scheduled to start at 7 o'clock in the evening. The guests left one after another until midnight, leaving behind laughter and full of blessings.

This banquet was undoubtedly a complete and successful one.

When the last guest stepped out of the door, Gu Kang and Zhao Lili couldn't wait to run to the room where the gifts were stored.

The door was just slightly ajar and the light was on inside.

The two looked at each other, with irrepressible greed and excitement flashing in their eyes, and then rushed into the room together.

However, the scene before them surprised them.

In the huge room, there were only three small gift boxes placed alone, and the rest of the gifts seemed to have disappeared without a trace!

"This..." Zhao Lili's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did someone steal it? Or did someone steal it?"

After a brief moment of shock, Gu Kang quickly regained his composure.

He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "Gu Ranle must have taken it!"

Zhao Lili screamed when she heard this: "Why did she take it away? These are all gifts given to our Lanshan by the guests!"

"Why should I?"

Gu Ranle's voice sounded behind the two of them like a ghost.

They both turned around at the same time, and saw Gu Ranle leaning against the door with a half-smile on his face, as if he was watching a good show.

"I paid for this banquet, and most of the guests came because of my reputation."

There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in Gu Ranle's words.

Zhao Lili opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.

Although she was unwilling in her heart, she could not refute this ironclad fact.

Gu Ranle raised her chin slightly and pointed at the three gift boxes on the ground. "Look, those three gift boxes and two thousand yuan on the ground are sent by your parents. I leave them to you. Forget about the rest. Nineteen people from your parents came with 2000 yuan in gifts and three gifts, but when they left, they took away six bottles of red wine from me. That bottle of red wine costs yuan. Are you going to give me the money or let me call the police? They are stealing."

When Zhao Lili heard this, her face turned pale instantly.

She wanted to defend herself, wanted to deny it, but found that she couldn't find a suitable reason.

Because Gu Ranle already knew everything clearly, and even sent the evidence - a video - to her mobile phone.

The video clearly recorded every move of her family at the banquet, including how they secretly hid the red wine in their carry-on bags and then left as if nothing had happened.

All of this did not escape Gu Ranle's eyes.

Zhao Lili stared at the screen of her mobile phone, the anger and hatred in her heart intertwined and almost swallowed her.

She clenched her fists and swore secretly that she would never take out the money easily.

However, she also knew that she couldn't let Gu Ranle call the police.

If things get out of hand, the consequences will be disastrous.

After much thought, she decided to take a compromise approach and ask them to return the stolen wine intact.

So Zhao Lili forced a smile and tried her best to make her tone sound sincere.

"Le Le, I really didn't expect them to do such a ridiculous thing. Don't worry, I'll call them right away and ask them to send the wine back."

Gu Ranle heard this and sneered, "Send it back? That's already been touched. Do you think I dare to drink it?"

There was a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if she was mocking Zhao Lili's ignorance.

Zhao Lili was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and quickly changed her words: "Well, then I'll let them pay for it!"

As she said that, she quickly took out her cell phone and called her sister-in-law.

However, what she heard from the other end of the phone was her sister-in-law's scolding, which left her speechless and at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle said with a hint of impatience: "It's really troublesome, I'd better call the police."

As she spoke, she was about to take out her cell phone to call the police.

"Don't! Lele, we are all family, why make things so awkward?" Zhao Lili hurriedly stopped her, her tone full of pleading, "Let's just solve it privately, don't call the police."

Gu Ranle glanced at her and snorted coldly: "Solve it privately? That's fine, then pay the money. 40.8, not a cent less."

When Zhao Lili heard this number, she panicked: "How can I have so much money? Can we wait and talk about it tomorrow?"

Gu Ranle nodded, giving her face, "Okay, I'll give you this face. If I don't see the money by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll call the police."

After saying that, she turned and left.

PARKING LOT.

Gu Ranle was about to get in the car when Gu Lanshan and Gu Yueming came over and called her.

"sister……"

There was a slight tremor in Gu Lanshan's voice, as if she was afraid of something.

Gu Ranle stopped and looked back at them.

Gu Lanshan and Gu Yueming were seen standing side by side, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

"Le Le." Gu Yueming also greeted softly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Gu Ranle nodded expressionlessly, his attitude still indifferent and distant: "What's the matter?"

"Thank you for tonight." Gu Lanshan took a deep breath and said sincerely.

After saying this, she bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

Gu Ranle didn't react much. She really deserved this thank you.

"Anything else?" she asked calmly, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"This morning, my sister and I have moved all of our things." Gu Lanshan continued, with a hint of depression in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle just said "hmm" softly, indicating that he already knew.

She had said before that she would let them move out after the entrance banquet.

Now it is only natural to move things away.

Gu Lanshan continued, "We used the money you gave my sister and me to buy a two-bedroom apartment and some furniture. We saved the rest. Think of this money as a loan from you. When I make money in the future, I will definitely pay you back."

Gu Ranle said calmly: "The money is given to you, it's yours. You don't have to pay it back. As for how to spend it, you can decide for yourself. If there is nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Sister...goodbye."

"Goodbye Lele."

Gu Ranle got into the car without looking back, started the engine, and the car drove away in an instant.

Only Gu Lanshan and Gu Yueming were left standing there, watching her back gradually disappear from their sight.

After a long time, Gu Lanshan lowered her head and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her voice was heavily nasal: "Sister, let's go back too."

Hearing this, Gu Yueming patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Let's go, let's go home too."

The two sisters smiled at each other. Although there was a hint of bitterness in their smiles, they knew that no matter how difficult the future would be, they would work together to face the challenges of life.

They rode their electric scooters and disappeared into the night.

It's late at night and the noise of the city has faded away.

When Gu Ranle was going back, he passed by Song Yu's clinic and stopped the car to take a look inside.

Song Yu did not work the night shift tonight and the office door was locked.

Gu Ranle went to see Zhang Junyi first.

Zhang Junyi has woken up. Although he cannot get out of bed for the time being, he seems to be in good spirits.

Although the sudden car accident caused him a head injury, fortunately, his memory was still clear after he woke up and his IQ was not reduced at all.

At this moment, Zhang Junyi was chatting with Toni, and both of them seemed to be unable to sleep.

Gu Ranle knocked on the door gently and walked in. "It's so late, why don't you rest? You just woke up, your body needs more rest to recover faster."

Zhang Junyi smiled and responded, "Doctor Gu, Tony and I couldn't sleep, so we chatted to kill time. Why didn't Doctor Gu go back to rest?"

Gu Ranle smiled slightly and said, "I'll just take a look around and be back soon. You can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say. Now go get some rest."

Zhang Junyi suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "By the way, Dr. Gu, I drew a portrait of the driver who caused the accident today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tony quickly opened the drawer of the small cabinet next to her, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle took the portrait and took a glance at it, and was secretly amazed in his heart.

This portrait is not just similar, it's simply a carbon copy of Yu Chuan!

Zhang Junyi's painting skills are really amazing, and you can tell at first glance that he has a solid foundation.

At this time, Zhang Junyi added: "There was another woman in the passenger seat at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to her. I only noticed that she had long hair."

Gu Ranle nodded and said, "Put the portrait away and give it to the lawyer when he arrives tomorrow. Everything else will be handled according to the lawyer's arrangements."

"Thank you, Doctor Gu—"

Zhang Junyi was filled with gratitude and was about to thank her, but Gu Ranle stopped him in time: "Forget about thanking me. When you recover and are discharged from the hospital, just treat me to a big meal."

"This is a must!" Zhang Junyi agreed readily.

After coming out of Zhang Junyi's ward, Gu Ranle walked lightly towards Li Hongxuan's ward.

Since Li Nanxi had fulfilled the previous agreement, Gu Ranle also began to treat Li Hongxuan as promised.

When I pushed open the door of the ward, I saw that Li Hongxuan was already sleeping peacefully, while Li Nanxi was quietly accompanying him.

As soon as Gu Ranle came in, Li Nanxi opened his eyes sharply.

Seeing that it was Gu Ranle, she sat up and asked in a low voice: "Miss, it's so late, haven't you gone back to rest yet?"

"The banquet just ended." Gu Ranle sat down beside the bed and began to take Li Hongxuan's pulse.

Li Nanxi nodded. She knew that the Gu family was holding a graduation banquet tonight. Gu Ranle and Jingwen attended the banquet, but she left early.

While taking his pulse, Gu Ranle reminded him, "Don't miss any meal of the medicine I gave him. Take it on time."

Li Nanxi nodded, looking worried, "I drink it at every meal, but I vomit after drinking it. There's really nothing I can do."

Gu Ranle comforted him, "If you can't vomit it all, your body will absorb some of it. You should feel better tomorrow, so don't worry too much."

After that, Gu Ranle explained some precautions in detail and then left.

As I walked downstairs, my cell phone suddenly rang.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from her bodyguard.

She pressed the answer button and immediately heard the bodyguard's anxious voice.
