A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

"Gu Feng, speaking of this matter, I think you've been a bit dishonest. Since you already guessed that all of this was caused by the second son, why didn't you say so sooner?" Old Man Ding said with a hint of reproach in his voice.

"Old man, don't be ungrateful." Gu Feng rolled his eyes. "I won't deny it, I've been thinking about it for a while now. Your poisoning, Han Han's assassination, Uncle Ding being shot—this whole series of events is most likely caused by a family crisis. But that's just a guess, you know? A guess is something you make up in your head, there's no real evidence. Besides, this involves your own son. How can I, an outsider, say anything? If I really make a fuss, you'll start wondering if I have some ulterior motive or want something from your Ding family. Do you think I would do something so thankless? Really."

"I was just saying it casually, why are you so resentful?" Old Ding said sheepishly, his tone softening. "Besides, I've never considered you an outsider. Otherwise, why would I entrust my granddaughter to you? Why would I confide in you like this? Furthermore, I just lost a son, can't you be a little understanding, say a few nice words to comfort this old man?"

"Want to hear something nice?" Gu Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Old Man Ding nodded honestly.

"Alright, I'll go and call your butler and servants." After saying that, Gu Feng actually left him there and turned to walk towards the villa.

"Hey, kid, come back! Come back!" Old Ding shouted anxiously.

Gu Feng stopped and turned around: "What, don't you want to hear anything nice again?"

Old Man Ding was both amused and exasperated, shaking his head repeatedly.

Gu Feng then slowly strolled back, but his words were still sharp: "But you insisted that I come back, so don't blame me for saying something rude later."

Old Ding sighed dejectedly and nodded.

Gu Feng then pushed the wheelchair forward, saying, "Grandpa, you really have to think more positively. The current situation is perhaps a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; in fact, it could be said to be the best possible outcome. After all this family turmoil, no one in the Ding family lost their lives, which is far better than those wealthy families that are destroyed over inheritance disputes. Your idea of ​​dividing the family property is quite prudent. You, Grandpa, although sometimes as shrewd as an old fox, are ultimately kind-hearted and can't bring yourself to be cruel to your own family. I admire that."

Old Ding finally heard something comforting, which made him feel much better. A smile appeared on his face as he asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "So, do you like me?"

Gu Feng's hand trembled upon hearing this, and he almost pushed the man and chair into the artificial lake next to them. "Old man, if you have nothing to say, you don't have to say anything."

Old Man Ding didn't seem to care at all; instead, he seemed to have successfully disgusted Gu Feng, and laughed smugly a few times. After laughing, his expression turned serious, and he asked earnestly, "So, do you like my granddaughter?"

"Grandpa, isn't that obvious? Anyone with eyesight can see I like her." Gu Feng suddenly became wary and glared at him. "Hey, are you planning to break us up? I may be a bit poor now, but believe it or not, it won't be long before my wealth surpasses that of your Ding family."

"Oh, what a big mouth you've got," Old Ding sneered. "Do you usually love eating garlic?"

"Hmph, we'll see." Gu Feng was too lazy to argue.

"Young man, let me say something serious to you." Old Man Ding's playful expression vanished, replaced by a stern look as he stared at Gu Feng. "Gu Feng, I may be old, but I'm not rigid-minded. Unlike some old people who are obsessed with social status and family background, I don't care about your wealth, how much money you have, or your future prospects. As long as Hanhan likes you, is willing to be with you, and you treat her well, and you two are happy, then I'm content. But there's one thing: if you ever cause her any distress—" Old Man Ding's voice suddenly turned sinister, "Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. Even if I'm not dead now, even if I die the next moment, I'll become a vengeful ghost and haunt you."

Seeing his final, gritted teeth and terrifying expression, Gu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but still patted his head lightly without any regard for propriety: "Grandpa, my mouth is notoriously unpleasant, but I didn't expect yours to be even more so. Please watch your tongue. You're already so old, don't keep talking about death and life, it's bad luck. Maybe you'll really be praying to Buddha the next second after you finish speaking."

Old Ding fell silent, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Since meeting Gu Feng, the two have been fighting almost from beginning to end, but being with this kid is more relaxed and comfortable than being with anyone else, without any burden at all.

"By the way, sir, are you really going to the countryside to dry salted fish?"

"Uh... I was just saying."

"Damn, so you didn't know how? I was planning to learn a thing or two from you."

“…………”

The two chatted for quite a while, rambling on about this and that.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the wind was carrying the smell of rain, Gu Feng quickly pushed Old Man Ding back into the house.

The weather has been really unpredictable lately; once it starts raining, it just won't stop. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave today.

Upon learning that Gu Feng was leaving, Ding Hanhan felt very reluctant, but there was nothing she could do.

Just as she herself said, it was already difficult enough to steal this moment of pleasure, so how could she dare to ask for more? Besides, even if Gu Feng were willing to stay longer, she wouldn't have time to accompany him—there was a whole host of pressing matters waiting for her to deal with at the Yihe Gang.

Ding Hanhan saw Gu Feng to the door, and before leaving, she reminded him, "Remember what you promised me today."

Gu Feng was momentarily stunned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Trying to renege on your promise after pulling up your pants?" Ding Hanhan glared at him and coldly reminded him, "It's about taking over the five halls."

"Oh." Gu Feng frowned immediately, feeling somewhat displeased.

He thought that since she was leaving, she would at least say a few gentle words and express some reluctance to part, but in the end, she was still thinking about the mess in the gang.

"It's about to rain, I'll have Abu drive you," Ding Hanhan said, waving to Abu who was waiting outside, signaling him to go get the car.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Gu Feng had just developed a grudge, so everything he heard sounded grating.

He said sarcastically, "You only let Abu deliver it because it's raining? If it weren't raining, were you planning to make me walk back myself?"

Ding Hanhan felt extremely wronged.

Gu Feng was leaving, and she originally intended for Abu to see her off; the comment about rain was just a casual remark.

Unexpectedly, this provoked him to lose his temper.

Once the young lady's temper flared up, she couldn't hold back anymore and snapped at him, "If you keep babbling like that, believe me, I'll really make you walk back!"

"If you really dare to make me walk back, believe me, I'll never speak to you again!" Gu Feng stood his ground.

Ding Hanhan was so angry that she stomped her feet.

In the past, she would have exploded long ago.

But since taking over the Yihe Gang, she has experienced more and more things and gradually understood the ways of the world. She realized that she could no longer do things as she used to, just according to her own whims.

Prioritizing the big picture and considering the overall situation is what we should be doing now.

Besides, she had experienced Gu Feng's bad temper firsthand—he dared to say what he wanted and do what he wanted; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

If you really piss him off, he might actually do something really outrageous to show her.

Just as another fierce battle was about to begin, the quick-witted Abu had already parked the car steadily at the door.

Gu Feng didn't say anything more and went straight to open the car door and got in.

After settling in, I glanced up and saw Ding Hanhan still standing there, looking very unwell. My heart softened again.

This young woman has probably shouldered more burdens lately than she has in the previous twenty years combined. Not only did I not put myself in her shoes, but I also tried to provoke her. As a man, I am truly ashamed.

He rolled down the car window and beckoned to Ding Hanhan with his finger: "Come here."

You think I'll just go over there because you tell me to? That would make me lose face.

If it were in the past, Ding Hanhan would definitely have used those words to shut him up.

But at this moment, as if possessed, my feet walked over there as if by magic.

Gu Feng beckoned her to lower her head.

Ding Hanhan, who never easily backed down, obediently bent down and leaned forward.

Gu Feng suddenly leaned over and gently kissed her pale pink lips, whispering, "Don't worry, I will never go back on my promise."

Ding Hanhan was still in a daze when the car drove off.
