The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

To this day, Song Lan is completely unaware of Di Liuyue's existence. She never expected that Gu Yuebai, whom she longs for, would have a story of pretending to be a couple with that woman she has never met.

The phone rang abruptly in the middle of the night, and an unfamiliar female number appeared on the screen. Song Lan's heart clenched, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes.

"Who is it? Calling you so late?"

Gu Yuebai didn't want Song Lan to find out about Di Liuyue's affair. If the secret were exposed, Song Lan might misunderstand again.

Lin Wei from the People's Hospital, whom she hadn't even interacted with before, suddenly stopped talking to her for several days.

If Song Lan knew that Gu Yuebai and Di Liuyue were still pretending to be a couple, her jealousy would probably be as strong as an 80-year-old jar of vinegar.

"It's nothing, just a former colleague. He probably had something urgent to attend to." He gave a vague answer and quickly hung up the phone, afraid that saying another word would give him away.

Song Lan was puzzled. Gu Yuebai used to be a security guard at Yunlu Mansion, and before that, he had worked in a factory. Could he be a colleague from back then?

But she didn't ask any further questions; everyone has a male colleague, after all. However, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, it didn't create ripples. Song Lan's heart was no longer at peace.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Gu Yuebai was idly looking at medical texts at the Song family clinic. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica," there were occasional annotations between the lines. His handwriting was so sharp that it was hard to look at directly; it was too ugly.

Song Lan was in her clinic, negotiating the acquisition of a shop next door with Mr. Liu. She planned to expand her clinic by buying the foot massage parlor next door. This would give Song's Clinic an area of ​​over 400 square meters, making it easier to receive patients in the face of the ever-increasing number of patients.

"Ring ring ring".

The familiar ringtone sounded, and Gu Yuebai picked up the phone. It was his mother, Shen Ling, calling.

"Yuebai, go back to your hometown tomorrow." Shen Ling's voice came through the receiver, tinged with relief. "I've moved in with your grandparents."

Although Gu Yuebai's father passed away unexpectedly, her grandparents still live in the countryside of Ruian County. The two elderly people are about seventy or eighty years old.

Previously, Shen Ling was burdened with debt and toiled every day to pay it off, leaving her no time to care for the two elderly people. Now things are different. Gu Yuebai has money, and she also holds a huge sum of money, ensuring a worry-free life for the rest of her days.

Gu Wenhui is gone, but Shen Ling must still fulfill her filial duties to him.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly move to Ji'an Town? Wasn't it good enough living in the county seat?"

Gu Yuebai complained that compared to the convenience of Ruian County, the conditions in Ji'an Town were very backward.

My hometown is a traditional courtyard house with a central courtyard. It's very dilapidated, with muddy country roads on rainy days, open-air dry toilets, and lazy men wandering around shirtless.

"It's not that it's bad. My grandparents are getting old, and they need someone to take care of them. Plus, I have a leg injury, so going up and down stairs is really inconvenient for me."

"But I'm in Yuncheng now..." He wanted to say that he could buy them a house in Yuncheng, but Shen Ling interrupted him.

"Yuebai, just focus on getting along well with Liuyue. Don't worry about me. Her family is a scholarly family, and her home is far from Yuncheng. Spend more time together and cultivate your relationship." Shen Ling's words were filled with expectation.

Shen Ling was unaware that Gu Yuebai had only brought Di Liuyue back with him last time to appease her, and that the two were merely a temporary couple.

"Mom. My relationship with Liuyue is actually fake. I told you before, my girlfriend's name is Song Lan."

"Then last time... that bracelet..." Shen Ling was speechless for a moment, unable to react.

"So what if I gave it to you?" Gu Yuebai said casually. "In the future, I'll definitely give you something better, the kind that's priceless."

"Gu Yuebai! I've noticed you're spending money recklessly these days. That bracelet is worth at least 300,000 yuan. I didn't use it to pay off my debts because I wanted to leave you a family heirloom, and you just give it away like that?"

Shen Ling grew angrier as she spoke, "Gu Yuebai, if you don't bring me a daughter-in-law by tomorrow, I'll break your legs! You're becoming more and more outrageous, you even lied to your mother."

"You just give away stuff worth hundreds of thousands of dollars like that? Are you that rich?"

"You also worked your way up from the bottom. If it weren't for your dad's rough jade, you wouldn't be where you are today. Do you know what it's like to earn only three or four thousand a month? Since she's not your girlfriend, why did you let her accept the jade bracelet?"

After being berated and scolded by Shen Ling, Gu Yuebai reluctantly gave in, saying, "Mom, Song Lan and I will come back to see you tomorrow, is that alright?"

While Song Lan was discussing business with Boss Liu in her clinic, she also listened to Gu Yuebai's conversation.

Hearing fragmented words about her hometown, her mother, her grandparents, something better, and priceless, she had a premonition that something was about to happen.

After reaching an agreement with Boss Liu, Song Lan went to Gu Yuebai's consultation room and sat down next to Gu Yuebai.

"Whose call was that?" Song Lan scratched Gu Yuebai's palm and asked with a light smile.

"It's my mom. She moved our house in Ruian County to our hometown of Ji'an without even discussing it with me. She wants us to go back to Ji'an Town tomorrow. She wants to meet her daughter-in-law."

Song Lan's face flushed instantly, and she stared at Gu Yuebai with a complex mix of shyness and fear: "Are you serious?"

Deep down, Song Lan knew very well that she was a few years older than Gu Yuebai, and under the conservative thinking of the older generation, it would be difficult for her to be accepted.

Although she is 29 years old this year, she is three years older than her husband and has a lot of money to spare.

But she was divorced, so to Gu Yuebai's parents, their son was someone they could sell for a high price, while they themselves were just worthless trash.

She longed to meet his parents, but was also afraid of their opposition and even the ridicule from the neighbors.

Furthermore, she has lived in the city for decades and may not be able to adapt to rural life; who knows what kind of embarrassing things she might do in the end.

But when she considered that Gu Yuebai was always surrounded by beautiful women and had many suitors, she started to have doubts. What if Gu Yuebai got out of her sight...?

Thinking of this, Song Lan's heart seemed to become a little more resolute.

"Then let's go!" Song Lan seemed to have made a great decision. She puffed out her full chest, and the feeling of crossing the Yalu River with high spirits made Gu Yuebai laugh.

"Don't look at me with that heroic expression of sacrificing myself, okay? This is home, not going to war." Gu Yuebai gently stroked her beautiful back, then cupped her pretty face and kissed her.

"Ugh, aren't you annoying? What time is it? My mind is a mess, and you don't even try to comfort me."
