CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 521: YOU GE LAI, YOU ARE ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE

Originally, Gao Jiazhi hoped Weilin would take Ge Liang over, but upon hearing from Gao Jiaxing that Ge Lai had returned, Gao Jiazhi came over in person.

After recognizing his son, Ge Lai began to understand him and felt very gratified in his heart, and was also very grateful to The Fangs.

However, Ge Liang was unwilling to acknowledge his father publicly or let The Fangs know about it, partly considering Ge Lai’s family circumstances.

Ge Lai’s family was now happy, with two sons and two daughters, and his wife had been greatly supportive and shared a good relationship with him. Ge Liang did not want to intrude.

Even if he wouldn’t compete with his other siblings for anything, his presence would still somewhat affect Ge Lai’s family relationships.

And once their father-son relationship became public, given Ge Lai’s current fame and the rising prominence of Ge Liang, the reporters would surely be relentless.

After Gao Jiazhi arrived, Ge Lai and the brothers Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing drank fervently; their reunion after so many years was also fateful.

It was said that He Xuebing was doing well nowadays, thanks to a good father-in-law combined with his own efforts and excellence. Although He Xuebing hadn’t climbed as fast as Gao Jiaxing, he wasn’t far behind.

However, He Xuexiang had died, which made Ge Lai sigh.

The next day, Ge Lai left, indicating that he would come again when Ge Liang and Weilin were getting married, and meanwhile, he gave a sum of money to Ge Liang.

Ge Liang didn’t want to accept it, but Ge Lai said, "If you acknowledge me as your father, please accept this money. It’s for buying a house when you get married, and it’s a father’s sentiment. I have been away for so many years, haven’t been able to look after you, or acknowledge you publicly; I only hope to do something for you."

Otherwise, Ge Lai would feel troubled in his heart, as his son was getting married, but it didn’t concern him, the actual father, because it was The Fangs who were acting as the parents of the groom.

Ge Liang still accepted the money, but didn’t use it.

Ge Lai no longer lacked money now, and neither did Ge Liang, but it was his father’s goodwill, so Ge Liang held onto it.

After Ge Lai left, Fang Hui and Tang Jiao came and discussed Ge Liang and Weilin’s wedding preparations with Gao Jiazhi’s side.

The Fangs expressed their desire to hold a wedding at their place, and both sides reached an agreement, which made things easy to discuss.

Dowries and betrothals weren’t the main focus, they were just symbolic, a formality, but they shouldn’t be too shabby either.

Yet, Ge Liang didn’t want the betrothal gifts from The Fangs, but instead, he gave half of his gaming company’s shares to Weilin. Ge Liang hadn’t asked The Fangs for financial help when he started the gaming company; Weilin, his girlfriend, had invested money.

Therefore, by giving half of his shares as the betrothal gift, Weilin became the largest shareholder of the gaming company, making Ge Liang an employee.

Don’t think Ge Liang too foolish for in effect handing over the gaming company he’d labored to establish to his significant other—if they never divorce, it’s fine, but if a divorce occurred, wouldn’t he be at a great loss?

But Ge Liang didn’t see it that way; he was still young, and his career was something he could rebuild and earn again. Besides, the gaming company was still theirs together, so there was no question of a loss.

Weilin was deeply moved, "To know you have this intent is more than enough, please take the shares back, otherwise people will say you’re foolish."

"No worries, we’re husband and wife, what’s mine is yours."

Ge Lai left, but he didn’t return to the harbor, instead, he visited his old hometown.

Stepping into the county town, Ge Lai looked at the small but familiar town, he was back.

Ge Lai wore a hat and sunglasses, instructing the driver to drive into the Red Star Production Team. At that time, a small sedan was a rarity, and no one in the entire Red Star Production Team owned one.

The car stopped not far from a small courtyard after it entered the Red Star Production Team, and Ge Lai remained in the car, looking through the window at the adobe houses that had not changed a bit over the years.

Now, many families in the Red Star Production Team lived in tile-roofed houses, but the house where he once lived and The Lius’ were still adobe houses.

Ge Lai was about to tell the driver to continue forward when he suddenly heard shouting from The Lius’ house, a piercing voice cried out, "Zhengping, we have no rice at home, this money must be used to buy rice. You cannot spend it on gambling. If your uncle finds out, he will drive us all out."

The son born to Liu Haihua, Ge Lai had learned from Gao Jiaxing about Liu Haihua’s scheming to marry Wang Xueyong, wanting to establish a relationship with him, yet unexpectedly, she was violated by Hao Accountant, resulting in Wang Zhengping.

Ge Lai had no sympathy for someone like Liu Haihua who had brought this upon herself. He had thought that upon his return, he would definitely revenge Gehaiguo and Liu Haihua severely.

But now, back again, everything had changed, and perhaps due to living happily, Ge Lai no longer harbored such intense hatred.

Ge Lai opened the car door, got out, and walked towards The Lius’ house.

As Wang Zhengping had just run out, The Lius’ door was wide open, and Liu Haihua’s crying could be heard from inside.

Ge Lai slowly walked in and saw a disheveled woman, dirty and ashen-faced, thin and dark, lying on the ground crying, her clothes full of patches and footprints.

As Ge Lai’s footsteps approached, Liu Haihua, lying on the ground, looked at a pair of shiny black leather shoes, paused, and stopped crying, slowly raising her head.

Ge Lai, with a cap and large sunglasses, seemed completely out of place in the adobe house.

Just as Liu Haihua was about to speak, Ge Lai removed his sunglasses and revealed his well-maintained face, saying to Liu Haihua, "Long time no see, you are living such a miserable life."

Liu Haihua’s pupils constricted suddenly, her head buzzing, and her whole body was shaken, as years of memories surged forth.

"You Ge Lai, you are still..." alive, Liu Haihua’s eyes widened, but seeing Ge Lai’s attire from head to toe, she instantly felt fear again.

Ge Lai was back, the thought-to-be-dead-for-years Ge Lai had returned for revenge.

"What have you come back for, what do you want?" Liu Haihua looked at Ge Lai, his bright and shiny appearance hurting her eyes.

Thinking of herself, her dirty and ashen face, her unwashed hair for days, her patched clothes, and her weak, sick body.

This stark contrast deeply stimulated Liu Haihua’s heart, causing her so much pain she almost suffocated.

Then the next second, Ge Lai asked, "Was that just your husband, or your son?"

Bang, Liu Haihua’s face flushed red then pale, shocked that Ge Lai had also seen Wang Zhengping, the most embarrassing scene for her.
