After discussing Hu Zhonglian, Jiang Yi's mood dimmed a bit.
Seeing this, Gu Lian changed the topic and asked, "By the way, have you been in touch with Xici lately?"
At this question from Gu Lian, Jiang Yi couldn't help but look up at him.
Jiang Yi asked in confusion, "Uncle Gu, have you not been in touch with Gu Xici all these years?"
At this mention, Gu Lian felt a bit ashamed.
He lowered his head, looking at the thin calluses between his fingers. He had a lifelong passion for flowers and plants. Even in his years abroad, he had a meticulously crafted garden, and the calluses on his hands were a result of this.
He smiled and said, "I haven't seen him in many years, and he never contacts me either."
This indeed surprised Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi asked again, "And what about Aunt Zhu? You don't contact her either?"
At the mention of Zhu Shuanghua, Gu Lian's expression became noticeably peculiar.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He said to Jiang Yi, "Just a moment."
