"Where have you been all this late at night? It's dark when I get home."

When Guo Degang arrived home that evening, Guo Qilin also returned with his sister and daughter after finishing his business. He saw his wife's unhappy face as soon as he got home.

Deng Ziqi thought he would be able to eat something after a busy day, but there was no one there.

This caused someone to wait, which made them feel somewhat aggrieved and sad.

"She insisted on coming over to watch my performance. Don't be angry. I bought you lots of delicious food. Hehe, go and kiss your mom."

"Mom~"

The little girl put down what she was doing and ran over to kiss her mother's cheek.

Deng Ziqi pretended to be calm and didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the next second that Deng Yiling put down a lot of delicious food that her expression finally showed some emotion.

Exclude some barbecue items.

I also bought lamb chops, braised pork offal, and noodles with soybean paste from other restaurants.

"Are you happy now? I didn't forget to buy you some good food. It's all for you guys. I have to go now."

"Huh? Where are you going? It's so late."

Deng Ziqi was indeed happy, but just as he was about to eat, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"I have a dinner engagement over there, and I probably won't be back until after 1 a.m. You guys go eat and get some sleep. I'm leaving now."

Guo Qilin left in a hurry.

The other three had no choice but to finish their late-night snacks since they had social engagements to attend to.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, we tidied up a bit and then put the little girl to bed.

It's getting late, it's already past eleven.

But Guo Qilin's side had only just begun when the atmosphere inside the private room became quite lively as soon as he entered.

A performance fee of over ten million yuan is unprecedented in the world of crosstalk, which is quite a lot of money.

So we had a great time together.

After a night, the next morning arrives, and those who stayed up all night are catching up on sleep at home.

Guo Degang held a brief meeting at the company, which mainly focused on reorganizing the actors and, incidentally, taking advantage of the popularity generated by Da Lin yesterday, organizing more special performances.

At the same time, all the small-theater crosstalk plays that we hadn't done before were launched.

Although we didn't make back the millions from ticket sales yesterday.

It generated a huge amount of traffic and generated a lot of buzz.

After the meeting is over.

Each team captain announced something.

Guo Degang, on the other hand, went to the lounge to rest without much fanfare.

I didn't speak to Hehe yesterday, nor did I let her eat the food I cooked. It was a real blow.

For a while, I didn't know how to live the rest of my life.

Because there is no hope.

And Di is useless, and Da Lin doesn't acknowledge it either; anyone who sees this would feel sorry for him.

But this kind of pitiful simplicity is self-inflicted.

I stood there in a daze for more than half an hour.

Guo Degang gradually regained his senses and picked up his phone to browse his apprentices' Weibo accounts.

The apprentices' Weibo posts are mostly about meals together and changes in the small theater, nothing special.

Just as I was about to close Weibo and take a nap, someone suddenly came in from outside.

It was none other than Yue Yunpeng.

Looking at Xiao Yue, he perked up slightly. "What's wrong?"

"Master, are you dozing off?"

"I got up too early today and didn't sleep well."

"Then you go to sleep first, I'll come back later." Yue Yunpeng was about to leave when Guo Degang said with a flick of his teeth, "How can I sleep if we don't talk about it? Just say it."

"I'm about to hold a concert, and I want to fulfill my dream of singing. But there's been overwhelming opposition and ridicule online. You also advised me not to take it to heart, but I'm really afraid something might happen once the concert starts."

Yue Yunpeng sat down with his master and earnestly expressed his concerns.

"Does that mean we should just quit?"

"I won't quit, because I really want to do it so much and love it so much. Just opening one event would make me feel like I've fulfilled many of my regrets."

"That's settled then. There are too many regrets in life. Make up for them if you can, and don't wait until you regret it later."

Guo Degang was filled with regret at that moment, regretting everything he had done to Dalin, so he told his apprentice not to give up.

"just in case……"

"Nothing will happen. After it opens, I'll go with you to check it out and give you some support."

"Thank you, Master."

Yue Yunpeng felt a little relieved, said a few more words, and then left.

After he left, Guo Degang thought of Zhang Yunlei. Zhang Yunlei's concerts had received a lot of negative reviews, but thanks to the strength of his own fans, he was able to hold several more concerts and release albums.

Unfortunately, the problem was that he somehow offended Dalin.

How could he have touched Dalin's valuable assets?

"Hey, you didn't know your place. Otherwise, you could have opened one with Xiao Yue by now."

With a sigh, Guo Degang closed his eyes and took a short nap on the sofa in the lounge.

He was asleep when his apprentice, Yue Yunpeng, quietly came in and covered him with a blanket.

After covering it up, Yue Yunpeng went out and met Kong Yunlong, Tao Yang, Yang Hetong, Shang Jiuxi and others.

The master has made too many mistakes, but he is their master, and the disciples cannot just watch their master suffer.

But how can we manage it?

They were too ashamed to try to persuade Dalin, so they could only remain silent.

"Oh, you're all here."

In the corridor, the apprentices, who had been silent, suddenly heard a sound, turned around, and were surprised to find that Grandpa Yu had come over.

"Sir, is there something you need?"

"I need to speak with your master about something."

"Master is sleeping, but he didn't sleep well."

"Then I'll wait a bit."

Yu Qian came over not for any other reason than to explain the serious implications to him and make him understand.

Since I'm sleeping, I'll wait a while.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, someone went into his lounge.

Looking at his senior apprentice, Guo Degang, who had just woken up, was somewhat surprised and called his apprentice over to make tea and pour water.

"Senior brother, what brings you here today?"

"It's not a big deal. Actually, I just wanted to say that yesterday's performance shouldn't have been held. You didn't tell me when you were planning it. If you had told me, I would have stopped you from doing it."

Guo Degang forced a smile, raised his hand to take a sip of tea, and thought that his senior brother shouldn't have given such a high performance fee.

He spoke directly.

"Senior brother, don't think too much about it. Giving such a high price is what Dalin deserves, and it can be considered as my compensation for all these years."

Upon hearing the word "make up for," Yu Qian was not happy. Da Lin earned millions with ease, so why would he need to make up for it? However, he still had to express his opinion.

"No, I wasn't talking about the price. I was talking about how Da Lin is currently handling his relationship with Deyun Club and you."

Guo Degang was taken aback, his curiosity piqued.

"What do you mean?"

"Let me explain it to you in detail. There's also the consideration of Dalin's personality involved. It's like this."

Yu Qian told his old partner about his thoughts that day in detail.

Upon learning this, Guo Degang became increasingly restless, and the more he listened, the more regretful he felt.

At the time, I was only focused on glancing at Dalin and creating some buzz, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

"But, but I just wanted to get closer to him, why am I pushing him further away? Besides, doesn't he already treat me like an outsider? This is the only way I can invite him."

"Even if he's treated as an outsider, he can still return to Deyun Society with dignity in the end. After all, this is where he used to be. In the future, he might be able to help out because of his fellow apprentices. But by inviting him like this, all the past memories are gone."

Not only did he not return, but the outside world also paid more attention to his relationship with Deyun Club. With this attention, they definitely do not want him to come back. So, will he go against these opinions?

No, I'll just set aside any semblance of courtesy with Deyun Society and follow the opinions of my own fans. "..."

Guo Degang wanted to slap himself. What should have been a happy occasion had turned into this mess.

“Of course,” Yu Qian said again, trying to reassure him, “It’s just my personal opinion, and I’m not entirely sure yet.”

"How can I not be sure? Given Dalin's personality, he's absolutely not going to come back to Deyun Club for even a glance. I... I don't know what to do."

If it weren't for his senior brother being there, Guo Degang would have truly been able to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.

The Deyun Society has faced numerous hardships to get to where it is today, and now that its members are middle-aged, they are facing even more hardships.

It seems that fate is not allowing them to live.

Or perhaps things have been going too smoothly lately, so we have to do something big now.

"Senior brother, could you please help me?"

"I'll try my best, at most I can try to persuade them. No matter what, blood ties exist, and things will definitely change in the future."

Yu Qian spoke earnestly, but in reality, he had no intention of offering any advice.

Why should he interfere with Dalin's choice? Telling him is just to tell him not to ruin this relationship again.

But at that moment, Yu Qian suddenly received a phone call.

After just a few steps, he was visibly excited.

"Really? Great! This is going to be a lively affair for our whole family."

After saying a few words, Yu Qian returned.

Looks hurried.

"Degang, I have to go back, I have something to do."

"Is it something happy that happened?"

Guo Degang was very curious about this and had to ask him about it; it was clearly a serious matter.

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, though hesitant.

"Dalin just said that he's going to have a second child soon, and he's been diagnosed at the hospital for about a month now."

"!!!"

The words were startling.

Guo Degang could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up, staring intently at his senior brother, as if asking him to repeat himself.

Yu Qian couldn't hide his joy. "I have to go back first to pick them up from the hospital."

"Master, Master... Brother."

With a soft call, Yu Qian had already disappeared. He walked very fast, as if afraid of being a step too late.

Guo Degang sat back down and fell into a long daze.

Another child is coming.

Such family bliss should belong to him, and only to him, given the blood ties. However, his senior brother's appearance clearly shows that all of this has nothing to do with him.

My mental state was on the verge of collapse.

All that remained was a blank stare in the distance.

However, Guo Qilin only found out about having another child when he woke up one morning.

I drank quite a bit yesterday. Although I'm not too tired due to my health, I still got home late.

I slept until after 10 o'clock.

At this time, Deng Ziqi had nothing to do at home, so he took a simple test.

I've always wanted a child, but I hadn't paid attention to it recently. Suddenly, I had the urge to give it a try.

When she tried it, even she was taken aback.

I didn't expect it to be so accurate; it really came true.

So I sat by the bed early in the morning waiting for my husband to wake up, and as soon as he woke up, he told me the news.

When Guo Qilin found out, he kept laughing, not knowing what to do with his expression.

However, there was also a sense of helplessness when I was happy.

"It just happened like that, we're really lucky. We're in for a rough time, let's go to the hospital to get it checked out."

Deng Ziqi was also happy, so the couple couldn't wait to go to the hospital. As soon as it was confirmed, they hurriedly told their family.

It's exactly the same scene as when Hehe was born.

So Yu Qian received the call and went to pick up the person.

Actually, there was no need to pick them up, but I was so happy that I insisted on going to see the young couple.

"Do you think this baby will be a boy or a girl?"

While still in the hospital, Deng Ziqi started daydreaming.

"Boy or girl, it doesn't matter, it's our child anyway."

"Ah."

Deng Ziqi nodded. "Statistically, the probability is higher for a girl."

"It's only been a month, and you've already met the odds? How did you know?"

"If it were a girl, wouldn't you be happy?"

Not only did she fantasize, but Guo Qilin did too, and the more he thought about it, the more his lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

"Look at yourself, you're incredibly beautiful."

"It's all the same, let's go."

As soon as they stepped out of the hospital lobby, their master, mistress, and Deng's mother were already waiting. Upon seeing them, they immediately came over to inquire about their well-being.

"Another child, the girl will have a tough time from now on."

"Dalin, take a break for the second half of the year and take good care of the girl."

"Shiying, you suffer in peace. I hope the baby will come out and not cause you any more trouble."

"Alright, this afternoon our whole family will go buy maternity and baby supplies, we need to get them ready early."

Decide what needs to be done.

The family is divided into two teams.

One went shopping, and the other took Deng Ziqi home.

arrive home.

Deng Yiling, who received the news a little later, was more excited than anyone else, pacing back and forth in her sister's house.

Because she knows that another little cutie will be born soon, and wouldn't it be so much fun to play together?
It's practically my own paradise.

We don't know for sure whether it's a boy or a girl; we'll have to wait until after October to find out.

What are you doing? You seem even happier than me!

When Deng Ziqi returned and saw his sister's appearance, he had a strange expression, wondering who had given birth to the child.

Deng Yiling smiled broadly, took her sister's hand, and whispered sweetly, "Let me take care of this child."

"Which one of them wasn't raised by you? It's just that I'm about to have my second child, and you still haven't found someone to marry."

When her sister brought up a topic she didn't like, Deng Yiling's face fell; it was like she was deliberately bringing up a sore spot.

Right now, she doesn't want to date at all; she just wants to play with the kids.

Guo Qilin changed the subject, saying, "Not only will you take care of them, but we will too, and Mom will come to stay with us."

Hearing that her mother was coming, Deng Yiling became unhappy, because once her mother arrived, there would be nothing left for her to do.

If I try to get a free meal, my mom might scold me.

After all, she's so old and still not married.

They are in a hurry.

"Why aren't you happy that Mom's here?"

Startled, Deng Yiling looked back and saw her mother staring at her. She immediately shook her head.

"No, Mom was very happy to come."

“I know you’ve been living at your brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s house all your life. I don’t know what you’ve been doing all day. You’re not a child anymore.”

"As for work, I work at my brother-in-law's company."

Working from home?

Mothers are naturally the nemesis of their children; even Deng Yiling was scolded to the point of being unable to speak properly. (End of Chapter)
