Businesswoman Chenghuang

Chapter 1 Funeral
In Mengyue Kingdom, the sky has been sealed for ten years, April.

Outside Yancheng, there is a purple bamboo forest, which is green all year round, and a winding path leads to the depth, and Jinbo Villa is located in it.

The past few days are different from the hustle and bustle of the past. The whole villa is covered with plain white sails everywhere, solemn and quiet.

The originally beautiful courtyard was now completely white. In the living room, there was a sandalwood coffin in the center. A thin girl was kneeling on the lower right side of the coffin. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Numbly facing the pottery basin in front of him, there is a ghost paper, and when guests come to pay homage, they bow down to return the gift.

And in a corner of the living room, there was a middle-aged man leaning decadently. His clothes were ruined, his hair was disheveled, and the corners of his mouth were covered with blue stubble. Age, but the eyes are full of vicissitudes, like an eighty-year-old man who looks down on the prosperity of the world.

The sky gradually darkened, the thin girl looked up at the sky outside, her eyes were full of sadness, two days ago, at this time, her mother passed away, and she cruelly left herself in the noisy world.At that moment, she just felt that the whole world lost its color, lost her mother, became an orphan, and had no relatives in the world, only a woman named Gu Wanyue was left living in the world.

He got up and moved his numb legs that had become numb after kneeling for a long time, looked at the decadent man, and frowned slightly. Uncle Lin has been drinking heavily since his mother passed away. .

Gu Wanyue walked up to the man and snatched the jug away, "Uncle Lin, mother has already gone, do you want to keep drinking like this!"

"Wan Yue, give me the wine!" Lin Aotian wanted to take back the wine pot with vain steps, but Gu Wanyue deftly dodged it.

"When mother was alive, why didn't I see you treat me so affectionately, who do you show to me now, since you love her, why don't you give mother happiness!" Gu Wanyue scolded loudly, maybe then mother would not be depressed all day long Unhappy until one gets sick.

"Nian He, Nian He!" Lin Aotian was trapped in his own guilt and self-blame, repeating the name that haunted his heart over and over again.

Seeing his grief-stricken appearance, Gu Wanyue didn't speak anymore, she pursed her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face, why didn't she know that Uncle Lin had a deep love for his mother, but his mother never accepted him, his pain Who can understand.

Since she was a child, Gu Wanyue knew that she had no father, only her mother who loved her and Uncle Lin who doted on her. She hid in the bed and saw her mother secretly sad and burst into tears more than once, so she was sensible. Never mentioned daddy in front of mother, but Uncle Lin often comes here, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, he is idle and free, never married, so he treats her as his own daughter and loves her, she also likes to be tired of every day even if she lacks fatherly love He, as time passed, Gu Wanyue grew up slowly and understood the entanglement between Uncle Lin and his mother, and he had long been respected and loved as a father, but until his mother passed away, Uncle Lin didn't get it. The mother's heart was also in a moment of urgency, so she blamed her, after all, she was only a 13-year-old child!
At this time, thinking that her father, who was missed by her mother, never came to them once, Gu Wanyue's eyes were full of resentment, "Uncle Lin, are men in the world really ruthless?"

Lin Aotian was so drunk that he couldn't hear clearly, so he asked vaguely: "Wan Yue, what did you say?"

Gu Wanyue didn't answer, but at this moment, she made up her mind that the fate of my life, Gu Wanyue, will not be at the mercy of men!

On the day of her mother's funeral, the sky was gloomy, Gu Wanyue and Lin Aotian buried her mother in a beautiful valley together, and only hoped that her mother would not be lonely again in the next life.

Gu Wanyue knelt in front of her mother's grave in white filial piety, weeping uncontrollably.

"Mother, why did you leave Wanyue and leave alone?"

"Mother, Wanyue has no relatives in this world anymore!"

Lin Aotian stood behind her, the distress in his eyes was not a bit adulterated, he picked up the weak girl from behind, and held her in his arms, "Wan Yue, you are not alone, you still have me, I will be your righteous How is father?"

Gu Wanyue's body shook in his arms, and then she cried, "Father!"

"Hey." Lin Aotian replied in a deep voice, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Wan Yue, what are your plans in the future?" Lin Aotian helped her up again, and asked worriedly.

"Father don't have to worry about Wanyue. Wanyue is no longer an ignorant girl. From today onwards, Wanyue will cheer up and take over the family business left by her mother, and never let her mother's hard work fail."

"You are still a child, don't force yourself, can you leave everything to your adoptive father?" Lin Aotian said with a frown, not wanting her to live too hard.

"No! Father-in-law, I will not repeat the mistakes of my mother." Gu Wanyue glanced at the tombstone, her brows were firm, "Although my mother was never married, she was abandoned by my father. The gossip brought me up. For this reason, my grandfather was pissed off to death, and my mother took care of the family business and raised me. She never saw my ruthless father again until she died. She was lonely all her life. Therefore, I only have Only with a strength that makes the world fearful, can one live a glorious life!"

"Since you have made a decision, the adoptive father will support you. If you have any difficulties, just look for the adoptive father." Lin Aotian understood her temperament, once the decision was made, the nine cows would not be able to pull back, so he did not persuade her anymore, but just tried his best Everything supports her and helps her.

"Father, don't worry, Wanyue won't be polite to you." Gu Wanyue smiled, her misty eyes already had a kind of charm that belonged to her alone.

Seeing her smiling face, Lin Aotian felt a pain in his heart, she was so similar to her mother, presumably her appearance would be overwhelming when she grows up, his eyes glanced at the new grave behind Gu Wanyue, he put away his thoughts, She said, "Wan Yue, it's getting late, let's go back."

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Wanyue kowtowed three more times to her mother's tombstone, got up and took Lin Aotian's arm, "Father, let's go."

A tall and thin figure disappeared into the valley. They were each other's relatives, the only relatives.

On the long winding mountain road, Gu Wanyue and Lin Aotian walked hand in hand. They had already sent all the mourners down the mountain, and they didn't want others to disturb the tranquility.

Jingyi's scenery is beautiful and pleasant, and their most important person is buried behind them, destined to live forever.

"Father, look!" Gu Wanyue shouted in surprise, pointing at the mountain in front of her.

Lin Aotian looked in the direction she was pointing at, his originally dark eyes narrowed, the front was full of dangers, five men in black surrounded a young man in Tsing Yi, each of them struck fiercely, threatening his life, the young man in Tsing Yi held The sword struggled to resist, and his body was already injured in many places, and the dark red blood stained the original blue clothes darkly.

"Father, today is the day of mother's burial, I don't want mother's soul to be disturbed by them!" Gu Wanyue frowned and looked back at the valley where Gu Nianhe was buried, with a sad and nostalgic expression.

Lin Aotian also didn't want to see a fresh life disappear in front of his eyes, so he gave Gu Wanyue a look of not worrying, he leaped forward, and within a few steps, he was in front of the young man, and quickly blocked a man in black's moves , I did not forget to tell the young man, "You step back, and I will deal with them."

Seeing that someone was helping him, the young man in Tsing Yi stopped holding on, and withdrew from the enemy circle, leaning on his sword to support his scarred body, and stared directly at the man in black with his shining phoenix eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. These low-level characters won't be able to catch the eyes of the foster father." Gu Wanyue came to the boy and said.

The young man glanced sideways at the pretty thin girl next to him, with white silk on her hair and plain clothes, her face was pure and clean, except for a pair of watery eyes that were radiant and seductive.It's just that the expression on his face was too conceited, and the man in black who forced her to run away injured was not popular in her eyes, so what was she!He snorted coldly, turned his head away arrogantly, and ignored it.

"At least we saved you, don't you even say thank you!" Gu Wanyue yelled at him, but couldn't understand his arrogance.

"I didn't ask you to save me, why should I say thank you, country girl, I don't know!" The young man's phoenix eyes glanced coldly, and there was a cold expression on his extremely handsome face.

"You!" Gu Wanyue glared at him angrily, looked carefully, he was a handsome young man, his face was carved like a sculpture, exuding a cold breath, his thin lips were beautifully pursed, deep enough to see Eyes that do not reach the bottom, the light that inadvertently reveals makes people dare not underestimate them. Under the sword eyebrows is a pair of slender red phoenix eyes, which inadvertently makes people sink into them.

"Stupid? What are you?" The thin lips parted slightly, and he said some unpleasant words.

"Hmph, Miss Ben doesn't care about you, a brat who doesn't know the sky and the earth! If it weren't for today, I wouldn't be bothered to care about your life." Gu Wanyue retorted, and turned away quickly after speaking, but The boy's handsome face is always dangling in front of his eyes, which is unforgettable at a glance.

At this time, in the battlefield, Lin Aotian stood with his hands behind his back, and in front of him were five black-clothed men who had fallen to the ground. There was not even a trace of scars on their bodies, but no one could stand up again, moaning and crying out in pain.

"Today I won't take your life, if I meet you again next time, I will bully you more than others, and I will never forgive you!"

Lin Aotian said coldly, but the few people on the ground heard it like the sound of heaven.Supporting each other, they stood up with difficulty and hurried away.

"Father!" Gu Wanyue quickly came to Lin Aotian's side, "Why did you let them go like this?" asked suspiciously.

"Then what do you think, this kind of life-and-death fight, although these people are bullying the few, it doesn't mean that the young man is a good generation, so there is no need to kill them all." After Lin Aotian finished speaking, he looked at the young man again, startled , hurriedly walked over.

Seeing that the crisis was over, the young man who was already at the end of his strength felt relaxed, his body tilted, and he fell unconscious on the ground.

Lin Aotian stepped forward, helped him up, and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.

Gu Wanyue also followed, and asked worriedly: "Father, how is he? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Aotian put down the boy's hand and said: "No serious problem, it's just that he was exhausted and lost too much blood, so he fell into a coma." He picked up the boy again, "Let's go, let's take him back to the villa first , although it is not life-threatening, it is better to treat this injury as soon as possible."

"Oh." Gu Wanyue responded, following behind Lin Aotian all the way, looking up at the young man with his eyes closed from time to time, with all his heart tied to him.

Back at the villa, Gu Wanyue ordered his servants to arrange the boy in a quiet room. Lin Aotian bandaged the wound on his body. Seeing Gu Wanyue walking back and forth outside the door, he thought she was worried about the boy. Because of her injuries, she was called in.

"Wan Yue, don't worry, I've already treated his wound, and he'll be fine when he wakes up!" Lin Aotian laughed.

"Oh." Gu Wanyue absent-mindedly agreed.

"Okay, Wanyue, don't stay here anymore, anyway, he won't be able to wake up for the time being, so just arrange for a servant to watch over him. You've been tired all day, so go and rest first, we'll talk about his affairs tomorrow. Seeing her like this, Lin Aotian thought she was tired today, so he took her by the hand and led her out of the room, telling her to go to bed early.

"I know foster father, you should go to bed earlier." Gu Wanyue took her thoughts back from the young man, anyway, he couldn't wake up, and it was useless to wait, it would be better to have a good sleep .

On the branches of the moon, a figure passed by lightly, leaving only a room surrounded by residual warmth.

early morning.

Gu Wanyue looked at the empty room, the figure of the boy from yesterday had long disappeared on the bed, not only felt a little lost in her heart, she walked to the table, wanted to have a cup of tea, but unexpectedly saw something quietly placed on the table. on the table.

Reaching out to pick it up, a piece of high-quality suet warm jade is tied to the red rope, and a delicate white peony is carved, surrounded by vines, which is very noble and atmospheric.

"Is this what he left behind?" Gu Wanyue murmured to herself, with a smile on her face, her originally lost eyes softened in an instant.
