Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 138 A Special Gathering

The foot of Nanshan Mountain seems to have become more lively recently, with not only many more tourists but also many more vendors.

In fact, all of this is easy to explain. This place will soon be developed into a high-end villa area. If you want to come here in the future, it will no longer be so easy. So the people of Fanjiang chose to take their children and families to walk and stroll here during their rest time. After all, this is the childhood memory of many people.

Fanjiang is a coastal city with many high mountains, but Nanshan is the most special one. It is the closest to the city center, and many playgrounds have been built around this mountain. Therefore, most of the children born and raised here spend their childhood here.

As the crowds gathered, so did the vendors, and soon the police and urban management arrived. This wasn't a good thing for Beichen, and he was actually quite distressed. On the one hand, since he took over the lab, there had been no progress, and the Jiang family was getting more and more anxious. He was also very anxious. However, this was pharmaceutical research, not the easy part like building a house, and simply being anxious wouldn't help.

On the other hand, he was anxious to leave. The news of the Lin family's return had reached him long ago, but he had kept it a secret from the Jiang family, wanting to prevent their attention from turning back to him because of this sudden appearance of the Lin family kid. He had already begun planning his future five years ago; he wanted to break free from the Jiang family's constraints as quickly as possible and live the life he wanted.

But the current situation was that not only could he not leave Nanshan, he also lost the chance to sneak out for a walk. The mountain was full of people, and if the ancestral hall was not a private place, those inexplicably appearing tourists would have already stepped into the ancestral hall.

Lao Fang has been selling tea eggs here for several days, and business seems to be good. However, Lao Fang's attention is not on the business at all. His eyes always look towards the Nanshan Mountain from time to time.

Lao Fang is Tian Zhenyuan's man. Although he looks to be in his 40s, with a thin face and dark skin, if he were not selling tea eggs here, he would be the most inconspicuous person anywhere else.

Not far from where he was, there was a plush toy stall owned by a man in his 50s. Compared to Lao Fang, he seemed in better spirits. Unlike Lao Fang, he didn't pay much attention to what was happening on the mountain, though he would occasionally check his phone. This was Lao Mo, who had been here for several days. He had searched every possible spot in Fanjiang before finally zeroing in on this spot. If Beichen hadn't left Fanjiang yet, this was the best place to find him.

After seeing off a group of guests, Lao Fang habitually glanced towards the mountain. They were all tourists who came here to play, nothing unusual. He glanced in the direction of Lao Mo, who nodded slightly without being noticed. Lao Fang got the instruction and immediately understood his next move.

"Old Gu, please help me watch the stall. I'll go up the mountain for a walk too." Old Fang took off the apron he was wearing, casually placed it on the tea egg stall, and said to another old man next to him who was selling snacks and drinks.

The old man named Lao Gu smiled and nodded. Lao Fang looked around, wiped his hands and walked towards the mountain.

Lao Mo glanced at Lao Fang's back without saying a word, and the few people sitting under the big tree on the other side also followed him up the mountain. These people came with Lao Mo, and they were going to cooperate with Lao Fang to go up the mountain to find out some information.

Things were progressing as planned for Lao Mo, while Tian Zhenyuan prepared a party. Of the original five great families, only four remained. Beichen had disappeared, and Beihanshan's whereabouts were unknown. Of the once-glorious five great families, only they remained.

What was different from previous gatherings was that there were more people at today's gathering. Lin Xueer, Hong Momo and Lin Tao's mother Yao Lina were all present, which had never happened before.

The private room was still the same one they were used to, the difference was that the Bei family was no longer there, but there were a few more women.

Although Tian Zhenyuan was the initiator of this party, he did not say a word during the banquet. He just ate silently. From time to time, he would glance at Lin Dawei and Yao Lina out of the corner of his eyes, but he just looked and did not say anything.

This was the first time for Hong Momo and Lin Xueer to attend a gathering like this. Compared to gatherings of young people, the scene seemed much more dull. Everyone seemed to have a lot to say, but they were holding back and didn't speak first.

Hong Momo felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and she was really feeling suffocated, so she put down her chopsticks and raised her head to break the silence.

"This fish is good, Momo, try it." Hong Dancheng saw that she wanted to talk, picked up a piece of fish and put it on the plate in front of Hong Momo, and signaled her with his eyes not to speak.

Although Hong Momo is a very obedient child, she doesn't plan to pretend anymore at this moment.

"I went to Tibet half a year ago." Hong Momo finally spoke. Hong Dancheng smiled bitterly and had to put down his chopsticks and look at her. Everyone stopped, some looked at her, and some lowered their heads and stared at the plates in front of them in a daze.

Seeing this, Hong Momo continued, "I had originally planned to go there with Beichen, but he stood me up, so I went there alone out of spite. When we were almost at Daban, I had an accident. Luckily, someone rescued me. The person who saved me is Mr. Gu today."

Everyone here knew the story she was telling, and everyone understood what she wanted to say, so they all tacitly chose to wait, waiting for her next words.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Li Jingrui walked in with elegant steps. The bodyguard following behind him nodded at Li Toyota, closed the door, and stood outside the private room.

"Sorry for being late."

Li Jingrui hung her coat on a hanger nearby and chose a seat near Hong Momo and Lin Xueer. She looked around at everyone's expressions and felt a little strange. She wanted to say something, but Lin Xueer gently pulled her sleeve, so she shut up and looked at Lin Xueer in confusion.

Hong Momo continued, "Actually, everyone knows why we're sitting here today. Except for Tian Tian and him, everyone who should be here is here. Now that everyone knows why, is there any need for us to remain silent?"
