I'm not the only one in the mountain

"Brother, help me."

Gu Dong and his pupils shrank suddenly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. His clothes were stained with the liquid from the two of them having fun, and it was almost out of shape. The clothes for Xiao Lian were washed and hung in the cupboard.

Gu Donghe didn't have time to think about it, put on this dress, tidied himself up and left in a hurry.

Driving across half of the city to a villa, and opening the door, the whole house is a mess.A woman is bending over to clean up the shards of glass on the floor.

"Donghe is back." Seeing him enter the door, the woman raised her head and smiled reluctantly.

Gu Donghe nodded indifferently, and asked, "Where is Lanlan?"

The woman's face froze, knowing that Gu Lan was probably the reason for his coming back this time.

"Lanlan is in the room," the woman hesitated, "Your father had a drink, it's really nothing serious..."

"He hit Lan Lan again?"

The woman was silent.

Gu Donghe understood, he went upstairs and walked to a room at the end of the corridor.

"Lan Lan?" Pushing open the door, she saw Gu Lan lying on the bed with red eyes.

"Brother—" Seeing Gu Donghe, Gu Lan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Don't cry," Gu Donghe closed the door behind him, walked to the bed, patted Gu Lan on the back to comfort her, "Show me, where did you hit?"

The tip of Gu Lan's nose was red from crying, and she took off her coat to reveal her bruised arms.Gu Donghe took out the medicine from the medicine box, dipped it in a cotton swab and applied it to her. The girl in her teens stubbornly wiped her tears, but the tears kept falling like pearls.

"Brother." Gu Lan called softly, "When can I leave?"

Gu Donghe's heart tightened, his hands paused, and then he continued to apply the medicine calmly in the box: "When Lanlan is admitted to university, my brother will take you away."

Gu Donghe had long wanted to take Lanlan out to live alone, but their father—or Gu Donghe's father, because he was Gu Lan's legal guardian, refused to agree.

Gu Donghe's father and his current wife, Qiu Sisi, have a son after they got married. He is still in primary school, but he is not here today because he went back to live with his grandmother.

As for why he still keeps Gu Lan, Gu Donghe doesn't know exactly what he thinks - what can such a "daughter" who symbolizes shame to him bring to him?

"Brother, I'm afraid." Gu Lan allowed Gu Donghe to give her the medicine, and murmured softly while leaning in his arms.

"Lanlan is not afraid," Gu Donghe said with pain in his heart, he packed up the potion as if nothing had happened, and sat on the side of the bed with his arms around Gu Lan, "If Dad hits you, tell brother, you must tell brother, okay?" good?"

Even though he said so, Gu Donghe's heart is also cold, he doesn't live at home, if Gu Lan is beaten again, he won't be able to arrive in time.

Gu Donghe also thought about calling the police, but his father's network is really not something he can shake now.Although Gu Lan was beaten badly, nothing serious happened.

The world is unfair, but there is no real justice.

Only by climbing up step by step, climbing up desperately, and standing on a high place, can one barely speak out for one's own destiny.

But there is always someone higher up.

The quagmire of society, everyone is struggling.

Who can be blamed?Morality itself is bound by people themselves.

As for the rules, they are given to those who obey him.

And no matter how tight the net is, it can't prevent the fish that slipped through the net.

After Gu Lan fell asleep after her mood stabilized, Gu Donghe sat beside her bed for a long time before opening the door to go out.

"Aunt Qiu."

After Qiu Sisi cleaned up the living room, she sat on the sofa with a glass of water. Gu Donghe walked to the sofa and stood still, looking down at her.

"Help me take care of Lanlan, and ask you to mention it casually."

Gu Donghe doesn't hate this woman, but he doesn't want to get close to her either.Qiu Sisi and her father have been married for more than ten years. When they got married, Gu Lan was just born, and Qiu Sisi didn't stop Gu Lan from entering the house because she was a girl. Her identity didn't make much difference, but Qiu Sisi had always been a bit jealous of Gu Dong and the upright eldest son of the Gu family, and this fear became more obvious after she had a son.

Gu Donghe knew about it, but he disdained it.

So after college, he took the initiative to move out. Because of his mother and Gu Lan, his father was more distant than close to his own son, and acquiesced in his choice.

Later, Gu Donghe made some achievements in his career, and finally gained confidence.

The first thing he did was to find Qiu Sisi and tell him clearly that he would not interfere with the distribution of his father's future inheritance, but the condition was that Qiu Sisi would take care of Gu Lan for him.

Qiu Sisi naturally wished for it.

But she also vaccinated Gu Donghe: "I can only guarantee that I won't wrong Gu Lan. If it is hot... I may not be able to stop it."

"Of course it's within Aunt Qiu's ability to take care of her."

Qiu Sisi still can't forget Gu Donghe's smile to this day. He was very polite and threatening. His eyes clearly told Qiu Sisi that he may not be able to touch Qiu Sisi and her son now, but he How many years does the old man have to live?

Gu Yanli is over fifty years old, Qiu Sisi is almost 20 years younger than Gu Yanli, only in her 30s, and if she is younger, Gu Donghe would not violate her harmony by calling her a sister.And why she wronged herself to marry into the Gu family like this, everyone knows it well.

Since she has her own goals and now has a son, of course she is trying her best to fight for the benefits for the rest of her life.

"Donghe... I really can't stop your father from drinking today..."

"I know." Gu Donghe interrupted her meaningless explanation, with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "It's still the same as what I said before, please ask Auntie Qiu to protect the place. Trouble."

"My company has stabilized now, and I will take Lan Lan out when she becomes an adult."

But Qiu Sisi heard his subtext: I am much better than before, don't play tricks on me.

Even though she had followed Gu Yanli for so many years and was used to seeing big scenes, Qiu Sisi still felt a chill at this moment.

Gu Donghe is like a beast that has grown rapidly in society. After years of fighting alone, he has developed sharp minions and an oppressive force that seems to be stained with blood.

stained with blood.

Qiu Sisi really felt this way, even though she knew it was impossible, she always felt fear towards Gu Donghe.

Maybe it was the night she got married, Gu Yanli drank alcohol and fell asleep in the room. The knife was inserted into the chopping board against Qiu Sisi's side.

With a heavy sound, Qiu Sisi's mind went blank in shock, her trembling lips could not utter a word.

At that time, Gu Donghe's eyes were bloodshot, and the coldness in his eyes almost turned into reality, piercing through the human heart.

"I don't care what you want to do." He gritted his teeth and paused every word, "Don't touch Gu Lan."

The boy's immature voice had the hoarseness of the voice-changing period, knocking on Qiu Sisi's ears, but it was extremely terrifying.

outlaws.

This was Qiu Sisi's only feeling at the time.

Now Qiu Sisi is no longer the youthful young man she was then, but for Gu Donghe, that shadow never seems to dissipate.

Gu Donghe watched her close her eyes weakly, nodded slowly, and then opened them again: "Siyi is at school..."

Gu Siyi, the son of Qiu Sisi, is currently studying in a private elementary school that is one of the best in the city.

Gu Donghe also participated in this school.

"I'll say hello."

Leaving those words behind, Gu Donghe left without looking back.

The cold wind is raging, and it is extraordinarily cold tonight.
