When I return home, time seems to be stretched out and goes by very slowly.

The main reason is that there are no complicated interpersonal relationships to deal with here, nor too many complicated things to handle.

In the inner courtyard of this manor, besides the grandparents and grandchildren, the only person there on weekdays is Gu Xiaohei's dog.

In the afternoon, the sun shines all over the yard, and two people and a dog stroll leisurely in the yard.

Gu Ranle suddenly raised her foot and gently kicked Gu Xiaohei, angrily saying: "Get away, I'm annoyed when I see you!"

Gu Jiu couldn't bear to see her bullying a dog like this, and frowned and said, "Isn't our family's money enough for you to spend? Why are you still thinking about its broken black card?"

"This is not a question of whether it's rare or not." Gu Ranle refuted confidently, "This bastard deceived my feelings, I should kill it and stew it!"

Gu Xiaohei whimpered twice, as if he understood what his master said, and quickly gathered around Gu Jiu's feet, with a fawning look on his face, trying to seek shelter.

Gu Jiu glanced at it and said sternly, "It needs to be dealt with. If not, just kill it tonight. I'll go sharpen the knife in a while."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaohei was so frightened that he trembled all over, as if he had seen his own tragic end, and turned around to run away.

Gu Ranle was quick to act. Before it could escape, he grabbed the collar around its neck and said viciously, "Want to run? No way!"

"It would be too easy for you to just kill you directly." Gu Ranle gritted his teeth, a grim smile on his face, "I must torture you physically and mentally before killing you. I will hang you up and starve you for three days, then I will kill you, and see if you dare to lie to me again in the future!"

Gu Xiaohei was so scared that he burst into tears.

It secretly regretted it's intention. If it had known that it would become a dog at the mercy of others after she completed the mission, it would never have let her complete the mission.

Woohoo, women have the most vicious hearts!

In the end, Gu Xiaohei was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted, his body falling limply to the ground.

"..."

Gu Ranle and Gu Jiu were both stunned.

So easily frightened?

Gu Ranle raised an eyebrow and reluctantly let go of his hand.

She walked up to check Gu Xiaohei's breathing and heartbeat, and after confirming that it was not frightened to death, she ignored it and continued to stroll in the yard with Gu Jiu.

The sun was still hot, and the breeze gently blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.

On a summer afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The grandparents and grandchildren stroll leisurely under the shade of the trees. Their figures blend into the quiet environment, forming a warm and harmonious summer picture, full of tranquility and beauty.

The little episode just now added some interest and liveliness to the picture.

"Look at you, an adult, but you insist on getting angry with a dog. If you really want to kill it, can you bear to do it?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile.

Gu Ranle snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure, "It threatened to kill me all the time before, and even lied to me. If I don't teach it a lesson, it really doesn't know its own weight and who is its master."

"Old man, do you think there is any relationship between Li Xiuneng and Li Shenzhi?" Gu Ranle suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously.

Gu Jiu glanced at her, thought seriously for a while, and slowly said: "You said they look exactly the same, maybe there really is some connection between them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiu stared at Gu Ranle with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"My boy, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on Li Shenzhi?"

Gu Ranle looked at him and saw the raging fire of gossip in his eyes, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

She pursed her lips and frowned slightly. "It's hard to describe the feeling, but I don't hate it anyway. And his face is completely in line with my aesthetic standards. Old man, where in the world can you find such a handsome man!"

When Gu Jiu heard this, he immediately showed an expression of "I understand" and smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

This is obviously a heartbeat!

Gu Jiu was so happy that his heart was beaming with joy. This was such a great joy!

His granddaughter finally found someone she loved, how could he not be happy?

"I specially asked someone about it, and found out that the family tradition of the Li family is really good."

"The most important thing is that the Li family has four sons, but they are short of a daughter. If you can really get married to Li Xiu in the future and let him become our son-in-law, I think Li Minghui will not object."

"..."

Gu Ranle looked at his grandfather speechlessly, "Old man, this matter hasn't even started yet, and you've already started thinking about asking someone to be your grandson-in-law. Wake up, it's broad daylight, what are you dreaming about!"

Gu Jiu smiled indifferently, his eyes full of determination.

He knew his granddaughter too well. She would not be interested in anything easily, but once she really set her heart on something, she would never turn back even if she hit a wall.

This is true whether you are treating objects or people.

He could almost imagine the day when his grandson-in-law would step into the house.

Li Xiu Neng?

The boy looks pretty good, and standing next to his granddaughter, they are a perfect match.

At the same time, in the book world.

"Doctor Song, when will Lele be able to open her eyes? She was fine before, how could she fall into a deep sleep like this?"

Everyone's anxiety and confusion surged towards Song Yu like a tide.

The time in the book is different from that in the outside world.

Because of Gu Xiaohei’s behind-the-scenes manipulation, the seven years in the book were only three or four days outside.

Now, even though the unscrupulous system has disappeared, the time in the book still retains its unique rhythm.

While the outside world changes day by day, more than ten days have passed quietly in the book.

Since falling asleep that night, Gu Ranle has been in a deep sleep.

Song Yu has been staying by her side these days.

He secretly speculated that she might have "returned" to the world that belonged to her.

She once inadvertently revealed that she would eventually leave.

She also promised that she would let me know if she wanted to leave.

However, she broke her promise.

Although Song Yu knew deep down that she was leaving, he still found it hard to accept it. She had bid farewell to their world so quietly.

"I don't know when she will wake up, but I think she will come back." Song Yu's words were full of determination and expectation.

Mr. Jiang hasn't had a good rest these days. His eyes are bloodshot and his face looks particularly haggard.

But thanks to Gu Ranle's previous careful treatment, his body did not collapse quickly due to excessive worry.

"Old man, you really should go and rest." Song Yu's words were full of sincerity. "I think she must not want to see you worrying about her and getting sick. Besides, you don't want to collapse before she wakes up, right?"

Mr. Jiang nodded slowly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice, "I'll go back and rest now. I'll ask Doctor Song to take good care of Lele."

Song Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "This is my responsibility."

To Song Yu, Gu Ranle is not only a junior, she is the daughter of his best friend, and also the daughter he regards as his own.

He witnessed her growth, and her laughter and tears were deeply imprinted in his heart.

Gu Ranle's deep sleep not only worries Song Yu and Mr. Jiang, but also makes the entire world in the book seem shrouded in a layer of faint sadness.

But the world will never stand still because of the absence of one person.

In the days without Gu Ranle, everything around her continued to operate in an orderly manner, and people's lives did not come to a standstill.

Among them, the most excited ones were Gu Kang, Zhao Lili, Jiang Lan, Bai Yanlan and other people who had a bad relationship with Gu Ranle.

They secretly rejoiced in their hearts, as if a huge rock had fallen from their hearts and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Zhao Lili, when she thought that Gu Ranle would never wake up, her restless heart began to become restless again.

She stopped Gu Yueming at the entrance of the residential building with a smug smile on her face.

"Without Gu Ranle's protection, how long do you think you can be so arrogant? Don't force me to do anything to you, just give me the money!"

There was a threat in Zhao Lili's words, and it seemed that she was planning to take this opportunity to teach Gu Yueming a lesson.

People always grow and learn to be strong through experience.

Since parents cannot be a solid support for you, you can only rely on yourself and be your strongest backing.

Hearing this, Gu Yueming curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"Have a move on me? Come on, try it yourself."

Her words were full of provocation as she took out a dagger she carried with her from her bag. The sharp blade flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Seeing the shining knife, Zhao Lili subconsciously took two steps back with a look of fear on her face.

"Gu Yueming, you've grown up and dared to point a knife at your mother, right?" Zhao Lili screamed and scolded, with a tremor in her voice.

Gu Yueming looked at her coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Mom? You are not! From the moment you and Gu Kang gave up me and Lan Shan for money, you are no longer our parents. If you don't want to see blood, get out now!"

Before this, Zhao Lili always thought that Gu Yueming was a soft persimmon that she could easily bully, but at this moment, she felt a heart-pounding chill from those cold eyes.

Zhao Lili naturally didn't want to see blood. The purpose of her trip was to get money, not to risk her life for money.

What's more, she was unprepared today.

I could only leave in shame.

But giving up? That's absolutely impossible.

Next time she comes, she will be fully prepared and determined to get the money.

Gu Yueming looked at Zhao Lili's fleeing back until she completely disappeared from his sight, then heaved a sigh of relief.

But she did not take back the dagger in her hand. Instead, she held it tightly and went upstairs.

The moment she returned to the room and closed the door, she collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, looking exhausted.

Gu Lanshan is going to report to school tomorrow and is currently busy packing her things in the house.

Hearing the noise outside, she hurried out to check the situation.

"Sister? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Gu Yueming's pale face and slumped on the ground, Gu Lanshan was shocked and hurriedly walked up to him and asked with concern.

Gu Yueming shook his head and forced a smile, "I'm fine."

"Let me help you sit on the sofa."

Gu Lanshan said this as she carefully helped Gu Yueming sit down on the sofa and poured her a glass of warm water.

After Gu Yueming calmed down a little, Gu Lanshan asked, "Sister, what happened?"

Gu Yueming took a deep breath and told Gu Lanshan everything about what happened when he met Zhao Lili downstairs.

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Gu Lanshan, her eyes full of worry, "Lanshan, when you get to school, try not to go outside unless you have something to do. If Zhao Lili and Gu Kang come looking for you, try not to meet them."

Gu Lanshan nodded solemnly after hearing this, "I'll remember it. Don't worry, I will protect myself."

At this moment, Gu Yueming felt mixed emotions, worried about his sister and confused about the future.

But she knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, the two sisters must work hand in hand and face the ups and downs of life together.

On the other hand, although Jiang Lan was like a disabled person at the moment and could not do anything, when she heard that Gu Ranle was about to die, she inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure in her heart.

Yu Chuan's imprisonment and huge fine are a foregone conclusion and can no longer be undone.

Therefore, Jiang Lan no longer had any illusions. Her only wish was that Gu Ranle would die soon.

In the afternoon, Jiang Lan set out for Gu's house again.

In the past few days, she has almost become a frequent visitor to the Gu family. Yu Chuan was arrested, but she and her three sons had to continue living, so she had to shamelessly ask Grandpa Jiang for money.

However, Mr. Jiang avoided her as if she were a plague and didn't want to see her at all.

She couldn't even step into the Gu family's door.

Even so, Jiang Lan never gave up.

She appeared in front of the Gu family's door on time every day, just like punching in for work.

Jiang Haisheng walked to the gate and conveyed Mr. Jiang's meaning with an expressionless face.

"Jiang Lan, Yu Chuan has already gone in. If you want your three sons to go in as well, you can continue to make trouble tomorrow."

Although this sentence was understated, it was full of blatant threats.

Jiang Lan clenched his fists, his eyes wide open: "Jiang Haisheng, you are so bold to talk to me like this!"

Jiang Haisheng sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Do you think you are still the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Lan opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't refute a word.

Her knuckles were pinched until they turned white, and her face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. In the end, she could only squeeze out a cold snort from her throat and turned away angrily.

Jiang Haisheng looked at her gradually receding back and sighed deeply.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a good life, but I ruined it myself.

Who can be blamed for all this? She can only blame herself for getting into trouble.

In Jiang Haisheng's view, Jiang Lan's persistence and stubbornness are nothing but a futile struggle.

All the good things she once had have now vanished, leaving only a mess and endless regret.

And all of this is her own choice and has nothing to do with others.
