Gu Dingbang was sitting in the study, with his back to the door and looking deeply out of the window.
In City A in May, it is the time when green buds first stain the branches. The tender green leaves are like young children, full of vitality. But they are already late autumn maple leaves, which are likely to fall when the wind blows.
.
Lin Ran knocked on the study door and called out respectfully: "Grandpa!"
"Come in and close the door." Gu Dingbang ordered coldly without looking back.
Lin Ran obediently closed the door, walked behind Gu Dingbang, and presented the gift in his hand: "Grandpa, you see if you like the mutton-fat jade cigarette holder I bought for you."
"Put it there first." Gu Dingbang glanced at the cigarette holder, and said calmly, there wasn't much surprise.
Lin Ran knew that Mr. Gu was not uncommon with such treasures. She didn't expect him to like her very much. She just wanted to please him. In this family, Gu Dingbang was the Supreme Emperor. Who could not listen to what he said?
"Grandpa, do you have something to tell Lin Ran?" Lin Ran asked understandingly.
"What's going on between you and Gu Chao?" Gu Dingbang turned around and looked straight into Lin Ran's eyes. "It's been more than three years, and Xiaoran hasn't registered with my Gu family yet."
"Gu Chao, he doesn't like children. Grandpa, maybe I'm too greedy, I..." Lin Ran bit his lip in grievance, looking like he was crying.
"No matter how much he doesn't like children, Xiaoran is still his child!" Gu Dingbang slapped the table in displeasure.
Back then, when he held Gu Ran in his arms, he immediately fell in love with the tender pink meatball. His great-grandson must grow up in the Gu family!
"Grandpa, Gu Chao wants to break up with me." Lin Ran suddenly covered his face and began to cry sadly, "Grandpa, I don't care... He gave me one billion, I just love him, and I want to... marry him."
"Useless thing!" Gu Dingbang was a little disappointed with Lin Ran. As a film and television superstar, Lin Ran couldn't win over a man's heart.
"Grandpa, this is not my fault. It's all Qin Juchu's fault! She still wants to pester Gu Chao." Lin Ran quickly defended himself.
"Qin Yuchu?" Gu Dingbang clenched his fists. He thought she should keep her promise and never show up again, but he didn't expect that she still wanted to get entangled with Gu Chao. "Damn it!"
Gu Dingbang's low roar startled Lin Ran. Although she and Gu Dingbang were complicit in something, she was still afraid of him.
"I will deal with Qin Yuchu, and you will deal with Gu Chao. At the end of the year, I want to see you get married!" Gu Dingbang ordered coldly and arrogantly.
Hearing Gu Dingbang's words, Lin Ran's face was filled with joy.
"Xiaoran is getting thinner and thinner. Lin Ran, you have to be a good mother. Don't let me see Xiaoran's frightened expression again." Gu Dingbang poured cold water on the excited Lin Ran.
"I love Xiaoran very much. Grandpa, who are you listening to?" Lin Ran looked at Gu Dingbang aggrievedly.
Gu Dingbang raised his eyebrows and glared at Lin Ran. Lin Ran immediately lowered his head knowingly: "I may be too busy with work and neglected Xiaoran. Grandpa, I will give up some work and take good care of Ranran."
"Come out. The cigarette holder is very beautiful." Gu Dingbang waved his hand towards Lin Ran and motioned for her to go out.
Lin Ran walked out of the study, with an unhappy expression on his face: "You bastard! I got scolded again! I have to deal with him when I get back!"
There was a person standing at the corner of the corridor. Rong Shao frowned, wondering. He was not eavesdropping, he just overheard Lin Ran's words. Could "clean up" mean beating?
