The couple lived in the same place and met often, but they rarely sat down and talked properly.

When Father Xiao saw her, his expression suddenly changed, and there was excitement in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Father Xiao asked.

His face was sullen, and his psychological joy was not revealed.

Mrs. Xiao was used to his indifference. She looked at Father Xiao and thought that her decision was right.

She had buried her youth in the Xiao family. She should listen to Xiao Yan and leave the Xiao family early to live a simple and comfortable life of her own.

"I came here because of one thing."

Mrs. Xiao looked at Father Xiao seriously, and Father Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Father Xiao said, "I'm going out now. If you want to say something, you can talk about it when you get back."

Father Xiao's premonition was very accurate. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Mrs. Xiao looked at his back and said, "I want to divorce you."

Hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Xiao's father stopped. He turned his head and sneered and asked, "You are already quite old, you want a divorce?"

Yes, the two of them have been husband and wife for almost thirty years.

Mrs. Xiao could still remember how young and beautiful she was when she married Father Xiao. She also remembered how coldly Father Xiao wanted to take her to the hospital and ask her to do so when he knew she was pregnant. Abort the child in your belly.

If she had been crueler back then, Xiao Yan would not exist today.

For this reason, Xiao Yan always felt that he was redundant, that there was no love between his parents and that he was disliked by Xiao's father.

"Yes." Mrs. Xiao said seriously.

"We divorced."

"You only have one son, Yan'er. I don't want anything from the Xiao family. You just leave it to him." Mrs. Xiao made the condition.

Father Xiao did not continue chatting with Mrs. Xiao.

"It's up to you." He said quietly, stepped forward, and walked out of Xiao's house quickly.

divorce? What a joke!

The two of them have been disgusted with each other for so many years, and now they are so old that there is no need to get divorced!

Father Xiao thought coldly that he didn't want to get divorced. After getting married, he never thought about divorce. Even though Mrs. Xiao had hated him all these years and their relationship was extremely bad, he still wanted to be a lifelong couple with her.

Father Xiao was in a bad mood because he heard Mrs. Xiao filed for divorce.

He arrived at the restaurant Gu Mocheng had made an appointment with. This restaurant was owned by Gu's family, but the restaurant was not like a hotel, it was a restaurant built on the water.

The decoration style of the restaurant is very elegant. It was opened when Gu Beichen was in charge of Gu's.

Father Xiao has heard of this famous restaurant, but he has never been there.

When Gu Mocheng saw Father Xiao, he stood up and greeted, "Uncle Xiao."

"I haven't seen you for a long time."

When Gu Mocheng and Xiao Yan were hanging out, Gu Mocheng often went to Xiao's house to play.

Father Xiao was not on guard against Gu Mocheng at that time. He saw that Xiao Yan had such a good brother and supported their interactions.

Thinking that with the help of the Gu family, the Xiao family's position in Ningcheng will become more and more stable.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for seven or eight years." Father Xiao sighed.

Father Xiao was unwilling to attend banquets and social events. Over the years, he stayed at Xiao's house, planting and watering flowers.

But Father Xiao has always been paying close attention to what Gu Mocheng did in Ningcheng.

The power of the five major families in Ningcheng restricts each other.

He sat opposite Gu Mocheng, who took out the menu and handed it to Xiao's father.

"Uncle Xiao, look at the menu. Is there anything you like?"

Father Xiao took it, opened the menu, and ordered a few of his favorite dishes.

When ordering, Gu Mocheng introduced this floating restaurant.

“My brother built this restaurant.”

When Gu Beichen was mentioned, Xiao's father was startled. There was no good banquet. Gu Mocheng's intention of inviting him here was clear to Xiao's father.

How can a person hide something wrong for a lifetime?

"Oh." Father Xiao replied absently.

Since the restaurant was built on the water, Father Xiao stood up and walked to the window. What he saw was the moonlight and the light of the lake.

The lake is sparkling. In order to create an atmosphere, a woman holding a pipa and playing and singing is sitting on the corridor of the restaurant facing the water. The position has a somewhat ancient charm.

Back then, the floating restaurant opened by Gu Beichen was the first in Ningcheng.

On the opening day, the restaurant was packed with guests, and immediately afterwards, if you wanted to make a reservation to eat at this restaurant, you had to make a reservation a week in advance. Moreover, Gu Beichen used the method of "hunger marketing" to limit the number of tables for each meal every day.

The harder it is to eat at a floating restaurant, the more people in Ningcheng's upper class want to come.

This floating restaurant has also become a symbol of Ningcheng's aristocratic status.

"You and your brother are both excellent." Father Xiao sighed.

I thought that without Gu Beichen, the Gu family would be finished.

Who would have thought that Gu Mocheng's methods were more powerful than Gu Beichen's.

When the Gu family was in turmoil, he shouldered the burden of the Gu family alone. Instead of letting the Gu family decline, he actually made the Gu family develop better.

"Xiao Yan is also very good." Gu Mocheng replied.

When Xiao Yan was mentioned, Xiao's father smiled, "Yes."

He said, with satisfaction and pride in his eyes.

He often called Xiao Yan back to the Xiao family and said that he was not as good as Gu Mocheng. In fact, Xiao's father didn't think so much.

His own sons, outstanding as Gu Mocheng, are all top figures.

While Father Xiao was looking at the scenery outside the window, the door of the box opened and the waiter brought the dishes.

"Uncle, come and try the restaurant's signature dish."

Since the restaurant is built on a lake, the signature dish is a fish dish.

The fish is fresh, freshly caught from the lake.

This is a major feature of the floating restaurant.

Father Xiao sat back down, picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of fish into his mouth. The fish was tender and delicious, "It tastes really good."

"Uncle, if you think the taste here is good and you want to come and eat some time, just let me know."

Father Xiao smiled and did not respond to Gu Mocheng's words.

He had Gu Beichen killed, how could he sit and eat peacefully in Gu Beichen's restaurant?

"My brother died early." During the meal, Gu Mocheng mentioned Gu Beichen, and Father Xiao's movements of picking up vegetables slowed down significantly.

"He is very good." Gu Mocheng praised his brother.

"Everyone who has met him, no matter who they are, has nothing but praise for my brother."

Gu Beichen is outstanding not only because of his outstanding work ability, but also because of his personality.

He is gentle to others and handles interpersonal relationships very mellowly.

Gu Mocheng is much tougher than him.

"Yes." Father Xiao recalled Gu Beichen.

Gu Beichen was too good. At that time, Xiao Yan followed Gu Mocheng and wandered the streets, not doing his job properly.

He also bribed Chen Chen and severely injured Xiao Yan. Not only did Xiao Yan not change for the better, he started to confront him and even refused to listen to him.
