The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

It was not that Gu Ranle intentionally pushed Grandpa Jiang into the emotional whirlpool between his biological daughter and granddaughter. In fact, on the road of life, greed is like a narrow single-plank bridge that cannot accommodate too many desires. It has been known since ancient times that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Only by learning to make choices in the midst of complexity can you gain something.

After hearing what Gu Ranle said, Mr. Jiang slowly turned around. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and there was a hint of subtle doubt in his tone.

"Could it be that you have doubts about Grandpa and lack trust in him?"

Gu Ranle smiled gently, and that smile was as gentle as a flower blooming in spring.

She responded softly, "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the bond of blood is like a tough silk thread. How can it be broken just like that? Moreover, before we met, I had already seen and felt the desire in your heart to reunite with her."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang's eyes became even more serious. He stared at Gu Ranle, as if looking for the answer in her eyes.

After a moment, his gaze turned to the distance again, where was his past that he could not let go of, and where was his deep thoughts about the future.

His figure lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing particularly lonely and determined.

He said slowly, "Since I have decided to break up with her, I am not just saying it verbally, I have really let it go. At my age, I should have let it go long ago."

The design style of Gu Family Mansion is unique. It is neither as elegant as a pure garden nor as solemn as a traditional manor. Instead, it cleverly combines the essence of modern and traditional, showing a different charm.

Wandering around, every detail reveals ingenuity, as if it could find a peaceful resting place for the human soul, making people calm down involuntarily, and their mood becomes indifferent and detached.

Being in this world, time seems to slow down, making people forget worldly worries and just want to immerse themselves in this rare tranquility and beauty.

He was very glad that he came here to spend the last part of his life.

He spoke softly, and there was an imperceptible sigh in his voice, like the last fallen leaf in autumn, gently touching the ground, carrying endless emotion.

"I used to be like a lost traveler, longing to see her again in my lifetime. But now, as the frost of time gradually erodes my appearance, I suddenly realize that it was just a foolish and persistent wish."

Gu Ranle listened quietly, her eyes revealing some understanding and tenderness, as if she could see through the waves deep in Mr. Jiang's heart.

She shook her head gently, her voice soft but firm, "She's not stupid. Who doesn't have some obsessions in their hearts that are hard to let go? What's more, she is your daughter, the one you have held in your hands and cherished since she was a child. All she left in your memory is beautiful."

Mr. Jiang sighed, his voice full of helplessness and self-blame.

"As a father, I know that I am not as good as your father. From childhood to adulthood, I have doted on her too much, almost praising her to the sky.

As long as it is something she wants, I will satisfy her without hesitation, even if that thing does not belong to her at all.

It was me who made her selfish and self-centered, who only knew how to take and was not grateful.

Back then, when she was in love with Yu Chuan, I strongly disagreed.

That was the first time I showed a tough attitude in front of her, and she even threatened to commit suicide if I didn't agree.

But I know she won't really do that.

So, I found Yu Chuan, hoping that they could break up.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chuan actually asked for 50 million as a breakup fee."

"You gave it?" Gu Ranle interrupted, with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Mr. Jiang nodded, his voice heavy and low: "I gave it to them, and gave them an extra 5 million. At that time, I thought that as long as they could break up, this little money would not mean anything to me. But I didn't expect that although they broke up on the surface, they were actually pretending to obey. After a short separation, they quickly got entangled again."

Gu Ranle's eyes flickered when he heard this.

She asked softly, "Does she know that Yu Chuan took 55 million from you?"

Mr. Jiang thought about it and shook his head, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"I don't know about this. I don't think she knows. I have never mentioned this matter to her."

Gu Ranle smiled, but there was a hint of irony and cruelty in that smile.

"Have you never thought that your daughter might have instructed Yu Chuan to ask for the 50 million? She knows your character and knows that you will compromise for her happiness. That's why she dared to let Yu Chuan ask for it so boldly."

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his expression changed slightly.

He had never thought of this possibility, nor had he ever imagined that his daughter would use his love in this way to achieve her own goals.

He felt like he was stabbed in the heart and it hurt a lot.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I was wrong after all. When I first saw Yu Chuan, I felt that he was not a reliable person, so I didn't agree with them being together, but I didn't have the patience to talk to her about this matter, and I just kept a tough attitude."

"Do you think she will believe you when you say Yu Chuan is unreliable?" Gu Ranle asked back.

Mr. Jiang was silent for a long time.

From Gu Xiaohei, Gu Ranle learned the whole story of what happened that year.

Back then, the 50 million yuan breakup fee that Yu Chuan asked for from Mr. Jiang was actually instructed by Jiang Lan.

This result is indeed surprising.

According to Gu Xiaohei, Yu Chuan's original psychological reserve price was only five million.

He never thought that he could get such a huge breakup fee from the wealthy Mr. Jiang.

However, Jiang Lan's original words were like a sharp knife, cutting through the hesitation and uneasiness in Yu Chuan's heart.

She said, "If my dad forces you to break up with me, you can pretend to agree and then ask him for 50 million as a breakup fee. This way, when we are together in the future, we will have a guarantee. You can use the money to buy a house in the suburbs, and our future will be secured."

Yu Chuan didn't have any hope for the 50 million at that time.

He even worried that if he asked for too much, Mr. Jiang would get angry and find someone to deal with him.

However, it turns out that Jiang Lan knows her father much better than he thought.

For the sake of his daughter's happiness, Mr. Jiang actually agreed to Yu Chuan's request and gave him an extra five million.

Yu Chuan, who received this huge sum of money, was filled with fear and anxiety.

He was afraid that Mr. Jiang would send people to hunt him down, so he fled the city overnight and hid in an unknown place.

Jiang Lan, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed with Yu Chuan because he had not been able to contact him for half a year, and because of the gossip that Mr. Jiang had people spread.

During that period, Jiang Lan was in an extremely depressed mood.

She felt abandoned by the whole world. Helplessness and despair were like an invisible net that bound her tightly.

This made her think about running away from home.

Then, she met Gu Ning, the man who later became her husband.

Gu Ning's tenderness and care, like a ray of light, illuminated Jiang Lan's dark world.

On impulse, she chose to have a flash marriage with Gu Ning, hoping to use this new marriage to forget the pain of the past.

However, fate did not seem to let Jiang Lan off easily.

Not long after she married Gu Ning, she reconnected with Yu Chuan.

This time, it was Yu Chuan who contacted her actively, with an indescribable eagerness and desire.

In the past few months, Yu Chuan squandered the huge sum of tens of millions.

He became addicted to gambling, and that bottomless pit devoured his reason and conscience.

Not only did he spend all his money, he also owed nearly 10 million in gambling debts.

Reconnecting with Jiang Lan was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Yu Chuan.

He knew that Jiang Lan had married the richest man in Gu Cheng's family, and she should be living a very wealthy life.

So, he used all kinds of sweet words to easily forgive his past betrayal and abandonment, and even coaxed Jiang Lan into using Gu Ning's credit card to pay off his gambling debts.

Such a stupid and blind woman is rare to find.

However, Yu Chuan is indeed capable. He has been able to coax Jiang Lan around for so many years. It is indeed amazing.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang kept his head down for a long time and remained silent, Gu Ranle couldn't help feeling sad.

She sighed softly, trying to comfort the old man from another perspective.

"You feel bad, don't you? If you think about it from another perspective, maybe you will feel better. Although Yu Chuan is a scumbag who relies on women for a living and has some bad habits, at least he is loyal to his feelings. For so many years, he has been infatuated with your daughter."

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang slowly raised his head, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly and asked, "Are you mocking Grandpa?"

Gu Ranle quickly shook her head, "No, Grandpa, I'm trying to enlighten you. As a father, you definitely don't want your daughter to choose a partner who is not loyal in love."

"I actually hope so," Old Master Jiang sighed, "At least this is fair to your father. After all, if others can betray easily, then he should also taste the feeling of being betrayed."

Speaking of this, Mr. Jiang's eyes revealed a deep helplessness and sadness.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself that it seemed that her idea coincided with that of Mr. Jiang.

Just as the two were talking, Butler Zhao came hurriedly, looking nervous.

"Miss..." He glanced at Mr. Jiang, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

"It's okay, Old Zhao, just tell me directly. Is that family here to make trouble again?" Grandpa Jiang asked indifferently.

Butler Zhao nodded and said, "They brought a lot of people with them this time, including many reporters."

Gu Ranle smiled playfully when she heard this, "Really? That's great. I haven't been on the news much recently, and I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."
