Chapter 402 Snail Shell

"You've been asking me for money for years?"

Lu Nanting carefully chose his words and asked her softly, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

Gu Lanxi is always quick and decisive in her work, but this matter has dragged on for so long without being resolved.

He couldn't figure out if Gu Lanxi had softened her heart because of their blood relationship.

After all, her grandparents had passed away, and her mother had died young. Without any children of her own, Gu Weihua was indeed the person she was closest to by blood.

Lu Nanting had more or less found out from relatives and friends how his scumbag father-in-law had treated his wife in the past.

Without any blood ties, to be honest, there were several times when he wanted to bite this person to death.

His impression of Gu Weihua was really terrible!

But in his heart, his wife's thoughts were the most important.

Even if he hated Gu Weihao to the core, he would never bypass Gu Lanxi to deal with him.

"I have nothing to do with him anymore, what else can I do? I've already blocked his number, and I've blocked unknown calls from my private number. I won't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers at all. It'll be difficult for him to even see me now. Whatever!"

Many of her family members knew her phone number. After all, Gu Weihou was her biological father, and many elders secretly hoped that the two of them could reconcile.

Gu Weihao inquired about her contact information; there must be many people willing to give it to him.

So after she changed her phone number last October, she didn't notify those she wasn't close to.

It would be more difficult for Gu Weihao to find out more.

"Aren't you afraid he'll talk nonsense outside?"

"What are you saying? You're just saying I treated him badly, maybe add that I didn't help him when he was dying? Anyone with common sense would say he deserved it."

Gu Lanxi is very open-minded.

“I still have the court mediation agreement from back then. He sold all the ancestral property, threw my personal belongings into the trash, and left without giving me a single penny. He even left three elders for me to oversee their funerals. I was only 12 years old then, and he was capable of such a thing. Later, the clan repeatedly contacted him, saying that he should at least take care of me until I came of age, but he completely ignored them and even mocked and insulted me. In the end, relatives from the clan, together with the community residents' committee, the city's juvenile protection center, and my elementary school, went to court to sue him. He was convicted of abandonment, and only then was I adopted by the clan. He has the nerve to say that, so what do I have to be ashamed of?”

Seeing her disdainful look, Lu Nanting glanced at her cautiously: "Then... do you still have a little bit of, um, longing for fatherly love?"

Gu Lanxi rolled her eyes: "Do you think that's possible?"

"Then how come you put up with him for so long?"

"It's so late, go to sleep. I'll be back tomorrow."

During their passionate romance, Gu Weihao learned that she had made a fortune investing in a coffee chain. He caught wind of this and came to her school to confront her for the first time.

But then she caught Lu Nanting pinning him against the school wall and kissing him passionately.

Gu Weihao took photos at the time, attempting to threaten her.

Back then, she hadn't debuted yet and was even more unruly than she is now. She readily agreed to his request, but as soon as he left, she immediately put on a hat, mask, and gloves, followed her scumbag father, and rushed up to him in a secluded spot. Without saying a word, she beat him up.

After hitting him, I realized I had acted impulsively and was afraid he would actually call the police, so I grabbed a few thousand yuan in cash and told him to use it to buy liniment for sprains and bruises.

That incident must have had a significant impact on him, because it took him more than six months to come back the second time.

At that time, Lu Nanting had already debuted, and the two still kept in touch privately, so the scumbag father assumed that the two were still dating.

"I heard that idol stars like him can't date. Do you think he can still be popular after these photos are released?"

This is a case of being hesitant to act for fear of breaking the law.

Gu Lanxi had no choice but to try to stall for time.

She would see her every time her scumbag father wanted to.

They won't give you money, they beat you every time, and after beating you, they'll give you thousands or tens of thousands for medical expenses, and then keep you hanging on.

The reason I'm ignoring him now and blocking his contact information is simply because they're married and the whole world knows about their relationship.

That scumbag dad actually dared to post the photos; fans will just treat it as a sweet treat.

Lu Nanting knew she was changing the subject, so he didn't press her. He sighed inwardly and muttered to himself, "We won't see each other even if we come back, so we might as well chat a little longer..."

"The dowry will be delivered tomorrow, the furniture needs to be installed within two days, and the day after tomorrow, the 'Fu' elders will come to make the bed. Has our house been emptied out yet?"

Their wedding will be held at a traditional-style resort under the Lu Group, with each of them having their own courtyard.

As for this week, she stayed at home, while Lu Nanting went back to the old house.

The resort will be decorated according to wedding customs, and the couple's bridal chamber will also be decorated for good luck.

"It's all moved out. Mom watched over it all day. The things are temporarily put in the basement. All the original furniture has been moved to Hengdian." Gu Lanxi will be filming in Hengdian at the beginning of the year, for at least three months.

She usually makes one or two movies every year, and except for those with special location requirements, most of them are filmed in various film and television bases.

Hengdian is arguably the place she has spent the most time in, besides Beijing.

We could manage staying in hotels before, but now that we're married, long-term separation isn't realistic.

The young couple had hired a real estate agent a few months ago, planning to buy a house there.

Upon learning that the Gu family had prepared a dowry, Mrs. Lu directly took out her own savings and paid the full amount for them.

Therefore, when Gu Lanxi went to Hangzhou before, she made a special trip there to look at houses.

To deal with this batch of furniture, I specifically chose a detached villa with a similar house layout and matching decoration style.

The house was a second-hand house with a small yard of only about 200 square meters, but the original owner maintained it very well, planting several fruit trees and growing many beautiful flowers.

The house is located in the core area of ​​Hengdian, with convenient transportation. It's a half-hour drive to Yiwu Airport and not far from film sets. The business district is mature, and life is extremely convenient.

According to Gu Lanxi's standards, for second-hand houses, the hard decoration is relatively good, the furniture is directly removed, and then the furniture here is transported over and installed.

These are all pieces of furniture I'm used to; moving in will feel just like living in my own home.

There's no need to rush over there. Let's pack up the furniture and ship it over to the warehouse first. Gu Lanxi will have time to deal with it after the wedding.

Lu Nanting's new album has been recorded and is ready for release on Valentine's Day. There's no need for a recording studio for now. When filming, they'll try to arrange things nearby. The couple will move there together to film for a few months, which is fine.

At that time, all the housekeeping staff except those who look after the house can be brought over, and the two of them can live a very comfortable life.

"Wow, my quality of life has improved dramatically."

The two chatted about this topic for quite a while, and Gu Lanxi couldn't help but sigh.

Although her monthly expenses have increased significantly, to be fair, her life has really improved compared to before.

"Didn't you say that wherever I am, that's where your home is? I can't let you become a poor little thing who's too far from home."

Those mushy words are one thing when posted online, but they feel different when said in person.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but blush: "So I'm a snail? I take my home with me wherever I go?"

Her original intention was to cooperate with Lu Nanting's schedule as much as possible after marriage, but unexpectedly, Lu Nanting's understanding was the opposite.

My heart is filled with sweetness, but there are some things I can't say.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Snail shell sounds a bit awful..."

While saying this aloud, he secretly changed Lu Nanting's contact name to "snail shell".

I saw the night-blooming cereus bloom tonight.

First time in life.

Because it only blooms at night, and if you don't grow it at home, you can't go to someone else's house in the middle of the night, so it's quite difficult to see it.

It's really so beautiful! It's as beautiful as a fairy. The petals are delicate and thin, pure white, and the sepals are like a shy, blushing young girl. The fragrance is light and lingering, which is very special.

It's really hard to describe.

I spent an hour waiting for it to bloom, and another hour entertaining neighbors, both adults and children, who came to see it in droves.

My children and I organized a party for a single flower. My sister and I were in charge of cleaning, while my brother and dad went to buy fruit to entertain the guests.

For the first time in their lives, the neighbors received a romantic invitation from a flower.

The children all screamed as they entered, jumping around to look at it. Afterward, they took out their smartwatches and took photos repeatedly to commemorate the moment. Finally, they moved small stools, sat in a circle around the flower, and asked me to take a group photo of them.

It feels so wonderful when someone receives my romantic signals.

Take good care of it, and I hope it will branch out a lot next year. I'll share one with my best friend so they can see it too.

Water lilies are like civil servants; they go to work, and they go to work; they get off work, and they get off work.

The epiphyllum is perfect for this.

They follow the same schedule as cattle and horses.

Hmm, I can't say that, they'll beat me up.

Extremely painful.

good night.
