Gu Zixiao found a seat and sat down, saying indifferently, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or shut up. I'm busy."

Mr. Gu: ...

That bastard son of yours!

He was so angry that he was about to curse when Gu's mother stopped him, looking at Gu Zixiao with teary eyes: "Your father and mother are just worried about you."

Gu Zixiao said "Oh," and then added, "Now that I've seen it, is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."

Gu Zixiao has always had a rather indifferent relationship with the Gu family.

This was caused by many reasons, but he was too lazy to explain.

Seeing him leave, Mr. Gu quickly called him back: "Last time I asked you to take Wang Jiaojiao to Shenzhen, and what happened? Where is Wang Jiaojiao? Do you know how the Wang family caused us trouble afterwards?"

Gu Zixiao scoffed, "The Wang family is causing you trouble? What's wrong with you? You're spineless! Didn't you retaliate? Should I go to the Wang family right now and ask them?"

She remembered every detail about Wang Jiaojiao's situation, how she stole the Wang family's long knife, how she attacked people, and how she almost ruined things.

Later, Qi Nan discovered that after Wang Jiaojiao ran away, she had made contact with Xiao Yingzi's people in China.

Not to mention, they followed Lan Yao all the way and even saw through time travel that Wang Jiaojiao was on Xiao Yingzi's boat and said that she had a master. All these signs indicate that Wang Jiaojiao is a spy.

Based on Gu Zixiao's understanding of the current leaders of the Wang family, they wouldn't do something so stupid.

Because of Wang Jiaojiao's matter, their Wang family is a key target of investigation.

Without investigating, their family won't gain anything.

So when Gu Zixiao looked at her father, she gave him a look that said, "Are you fucking an idiot?"

Mr. Gu: ...

It's that same look again, like, "You're an idiot."

Whenever Gu Zixiao looked like this, Gu's father felt a fire burning inside him.

He was furious: "What kind of look is that?"

"What? What kind of look is that?" Gu Zixiao exclaimed. "Do you think I see you as an idiot? Okay, okay, I know, I'll definitely tone it down next time."

Mr. Gu: ...

That damn brat.

Gu's mother looked at Gu Zixiao in disbelief: "Gu Zixiao, how can you talk to your father like that? We were just worried about you and asked you something, and this is your attitude?"

Gu Zixiao was getting impatient. He stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

I should have known better than to come back; it was such a waste of time.

but……

Feeling a bit unwell in his stomach, he turned and went straight to the toilet.

Then, Gu Zixiao spent the whole afternoon in the toilet, so her parents weren't so worried.

Grandpa Gu sent someone to find a doctor, who prescribed medicine for Gu Zixiao. Gu Zixiao didn't take it, instead lazily saying, "It's nothing. I'm perfectly healthy."

Grandpa Gu glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about, you brat! You've made a complete mess of yourself."

Gu Zixiao: "Do you think my complexion has worsened?"

Grandpa Gu looked him up and down and found that Gu Zixiao's complexion was rosy, fair and radiant, and... he seemed to look even better than before.

Grandpa Gu: ...

His grandson looks just like his wife; he's incredibly beautiful.

He's practically a carbon copy of his wife, or even better.

However, he vaguely remembered that Gu Zixiao wasn't as stunningly beautiful as she is now; she was practically a femme fatale.

What happened to your appearance?

Gu Zixiao yawned and said perfunctorily, "I accidentally got caught in a trap during a mission, and that's how I ended up like this."

Grandpa Gu chuckled twice: "That person is quite nice, able to improve your appearance? I also think your physical condition seems to be much better than before?"

Gu Zixiao nodded: "Of course. Someone must have taken a liking to me. Otherwise, why would they help me so much?"

Grandpa Gu frowned: "I think you should try to fix your appearance, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

Gu Zixiao: "I can't be disfigured, can I? That won't do, I still need it to win over my wife."

Upon hearing that Gu Zixiao wanted to find a wife, Grandpa Gu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which girl have you taken a fancy to?"

Gu Zixiao: "It's a secret. I haven't won her over yet. You'll find out when the time comes."

Grandpa Gu nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said, "You know that girl from the Lin family in the compound, right?"

Gu Zixiao shook her head: "I don't know, I don't recognize them, and it has nothing to do with me."

Grandpa Gu: ...

That little rascal, no wonder his second son was so angry.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "That girl has taken a liking to you. The fact that you're not coming back is something she told me yesterday when she came to my house."

Grandpa Gu saw through the little girl's little scheme at a glance, and he was happy to see it happen.

Gu Zixiao waved her hands repeatedly, looking disgusted, and said, "I don't know her, and I don't want to know her. You're trying to play matchmaker. If the person I'm pursuing finds out, and I don't succeed in winning her over, Grandpa, you know what kind of person I am."

I'll go crazy, I'll turn the house upside down.

Grandpa Gu chuckled twice: "You're threatening me now."

Gu Zixiao: "Yes. I'm threatening you."

Grandpa Gu shrugged: "This has nothing to do with me. It's your own business, you handle it yourself."

Gu Zixiao said "Oh," and stood up: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I still need to cook for the person I'm pursuing."

He lifted his foot to leave, but then remembered something and asked Old Master Gu, "Do we have any jade or anything like that in our family?"

Old Master Gu's expression changed slightly, and his voice became serious: "Don't you know what the situation is? How could we possibly have such a thing?"

"real?"

"real."

"I don't believe it. My grandmother back then..."

Grandpa Gu immediately covered Gu Zixiao's mouth, gritting his teeth, "I must have owed you something in my past life."

Then, Grandpa Gu told his grandson about what his wife had hidden.

After getting what she wanted to know, Gu Zixiao turned and left, her departure swift and decisive.

Grandma Gu came out of the room and saw Grandpa Gu's smiling face.

"Zixiao is gone?"

Grandpa Gu grunted in agreement: "That brat is gone."

Grandma Gu: "You two, grandfather and grandson, are really..."

Grandpa Gu patted Grandma Gu's hand: "Who told him to be so capable?"

Grandma Gu's family used to be quite interesting large landowners, but at that time she was always raised by her own mother as a servant.

His father even sold off the family's belongings in advance and ran away with Old Mrs. Gu's biological mother.

I also wanted to take Grandma Gu with me, but Grandma Gu had taken a liking to Grandpa Gu.

Therefore, no one knows her true identity, and naturally, no one knows how much wealth she possesses.

It can only be said that Grandma Gu's biological mother and father were very farsighted.
