Under the strict instructions of the Lan Family, Gu Yuanlei and Lan Ping'an hired an ox cart and arrived at Gaoling Village.
Seeing the spacious and clean village roads, as well as the row upon row of brick and tile houses inside, Gu Yuanlei felt even more bitter in his heart. He used to be one of them, but now he was excluded. At this moment, he no longer had his previous pride and confidence.
Standing at the village entrance with Ping'an, he looked at the guards stationed ahead. With his heart in his throat, he offered an apologetic smile and said, "I am Mr. Gu's younger brother, and this is his biological nephew. We want to enter the village."
The guard glanced at them and asked someone beside him to go back and report. "Please wait a moment." He wondered, "Aren't all of Mr. Gu's brothers living in the village? These are probably cousins or something."
Gu Yuanlei still couldn't enter the village. Instead, he waited until his brother, Yuanshui, came out.
