Chapter 125

That afternoon, Gu Jiangkuo only achieved the achievement of "sticking close to his wife". Nothing really happened in the end, and they even only did it once that night.

The next day, when Jiang finally sent her boyfriend away, holding her waist, she insisted on accompanying him to the airport.

Gu Jiangkuo naturally couldn't bear to leave, so he pulled Jiang Nuo to kiss her. He whispered affectionately, "You look tired. Take a day off at home."

Jiang Nuo thought to himself: Why am I so tired? How dare you say that?

However, thinking about her boyfriend sneaking back from his busy schedule and leaving soon, she couldn't bring herself to complain. She insisted, "It's okay. It's rare for you to come back."

——Just last night, Gu Jiangkuo used the excuse of "I don't know when I can see you again" and acted pitifully for a long time. Jiang Nuo softened her heart and agreed to show her warmth again and gave him an extra benefit.

Now, looking at Nuonuo who was reluctant to leave him and tried to accommodate him in every way, Gu Jiangkuo finally felt guilty and told the truth: "Actually, I have reached an agreement with the old man. Unless there are special circumstances, I can come back to see you one or two days every week."

“???”

"It's true. Are you happy? Hey... Nuonuo, don't look at me like that. I feel a little guilty. ...Are you happy that we can see each other more often in the future?"

"Gu, Da, Jiang!"

"Hey, wife, you're here."

"What did you say last night?"

"Nuonuo, calm down..."

"roll!"

Gu Jiangkuo was embarrassed and wanted to continue admitting his mistake, but Mr. Jiang had already raised his voice and called to the driver: "Uncle Liu! Drive the car in!"

"..." So Gu Jiangkuo took advantage of the fact that the car had not arrived yet, and without saying anything, he pulled her into his arms and kissed Jiang Nuo's face and mouth several times.

In terms of brute force, how could Young Master Jiang compete with him? When he was almost furious after being kissed, Gu Jiangkuo finally let go and begged for mercy: "Nuonuo, I was wrong! But actually, I didn't lie last night. A week is a very long time for me. Have you heard the saying, I miss you every day but I can't see you, and a day without seeing you feels like three years..."

"...Get out." Seeing the driver driving the car over, Mr. Jiang couldn't bear to lose his temper in front of outsiders, so he gritted his teeth and said.

Gu Jiangkuo knew when to stop and nodded, saying, "Okay."

But once he got in the car, he rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and yelled, "Nuonuo, I'm leaving! Don't worry about me, I'll call you when we get to the airport!"

...Who cares about you.

Jiang Nuo glared at him as he left, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing as the car drove out of the villa yard.

...Gu Dajiang, you are really amazing.

Why didn’t I realize you were so shameless before? But actually, you’re a little cute.

.

Although the plan to send Gu Jiangkuo to the airport was cancelled, Jiang Nuo did not rest. Instead, he assigned another driver to take him directly to the company.

The senior management meeting was held every Monday without fail. Sometimes when General Manager Jiang was not there, Wu Tong and the two deputy general managers would usually take turns to preside over the meeting. Jiang Nuo estimated the time and informed Wu Tong in advance in the car that he could go again. Then he quietly turned on the selfie mode on his mobile phone and looked in the mirror, pulling his collar up again with a guilty conscience.

Tsk, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I can't even wear a turtleneck sweater. If Gu Jiangkuo really comes back once a week, what should I wear to cover myself up...

As I was thinking about all this, I arrived at the company on time without realizing it.

Mr. Jiang is a punctual person. He hates others to be late, and his own time is often accurate to the minute. He rushes to the meeting room as soon as he walks through the door. However, the faster he wants to walk, the slower he walks - his legs are so sore and weak, and if he walks too fast, they will hurt somewhere.

Jiang Nuo's face turned black.

But the employees lined up one by one to greet him, but he couldn't show it. He had to endure the discomfort and maintain a calm and cool leadership style throughout.

"Good morning, Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang looks good today!"

Eight out of ten employees commented on his rosy complexion, but CEO Jiang was a bit confused. He touched his face suspiciously. Was he really that radiant? Finally, he dragged his exhausted body into the meeting room five minutes late.

The executives had already taken their seats. When they saw Jiang Nuo, they all stood up. President Jiang gestured to everyone to sit down in an approachable manner. Before the assistant could put on the PPT, he skillfully pointed out the recent key tasks. Under the leadership of such a highly professional boss, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was solemn. Everyone sat upright and reported their work in an orderly manner.

At this time, Mr. Jiang's cell phone rang lively:

[Dada Dajiang]: I’m on board the plane!

[Dada Dajiang]: What should I do? I've already started missing you.

【大大江】：blowing kissjpg

President Jiang glanced at the sender and subconsciously tightened his thighs. His hands trembled, and he pressed the mute button expressionlessly. He coughed lightly and said to the executives, "Let's continue."

.

It wasn't until just before takeoff that Gu Jiangkuo received Jiang Nuo's reply, which was an eyes-rolling emoticon.

She was cold and arrogant, but Mr. Gu stared at her for a long time, and the more he looked at her, the happier he became. The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed to him. He didn't know what he was recalling, but his face was full of satisfaction, and the corners of his lips never drooped during the whole journey.

After returning to the Gu residence in Nanyang, the first thing Gu Jiangkuo did was to report to Old Man Gu - he didn't know if the old man would have panda eyes again due to lack of sleep in his absence?

However, there was no sign of him in the sanatorium, so he went to the study, but was stopped by the housekeeper.

But even through the thick European-style double-leaf mahogany doors, one could faintly hear the old man's roar. You know, Mr. Gu rarely loses his temper like this. Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on? Who made him angry?"

The housekeeper hesitated to speak: "It's the eldest young master, don't ask about Master Akuo."

"Axin is my brother, there is nothing I can't ask? If you are not comfortable talking, I will go in and persuade him myself." Gu Jiangkuo was about to push the door open nonchalantly.

The housekeeper tried to stop him, but after several attempts, he couldn't stand the pressure and didn't dare to let Gu Jiangkuo in. He told the truth, "It was...it was the master who found out that the eldest young master went out to gamble."

Gu Jiangkuo's heart moved. He was discovered?

This was earlier than he expected. It seemed that although the old man was old, his methods should not be underestimated. He did not hide it from him for long.

"Master Akuo?"

Gu Jiangkuo came back to his senses and said nonchalantly, "I thought it was nothing. Doesn't our family run a casino? What's wrong with having some fun?"

"That's not what I meant. The young master..."

Without having to finish, Gu Jiangkuo knew what the butler meant. It was simply, "The eldest young master is the heir to the Gu family. How can he be like you and do whatever he wants?"

Gu Jiangkuo didn't care and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, forget it. The old man is angry, I won't go and offend him. Uncle Zhong, when he calms down, please tell grandpa that I'm back."

"Yes, Young Master Akuo." The housekeeper also breathed a sigh of relief.

.

Gu Jiangkuo went to see his grandmother, then wandered aimlessly around the manor, wondering whether he should go to the casino today after what had happened. As he was wandering around, he was stopped in front of the swimming pool.

"Gu Jiangkuo."

The voice calling him was as soft as a mosquito. If the servant hadn't run over and called him again, Gu Jiangkuo almost ignored Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu was originally the illegitimate son of Mr. Gu, with the original name Gu Min. After Gu Jiangkuo's father Gu Min fled to China, he replaced the name "Gu Min" and became the legitimate young master of the Gu family. Unfortunately, he was frail and sickly and could not inherit the family business. He had been supported by the old man and lived to this day in a sick state. He was afraid of the wind and seldom went out. It must be because the temperature has risen again recently, so he found time to go out and bask in the sun.

Gu Jiangkuo's health and strength formed a sharp contrast with him.

Hearing the call, Gu Jiangkuo stretched out his long legs and walked over in two steps. His slightly dark skin made his teeth look dazzlingly white. He exuded a healthy and youthful aura, and shouted with full energy, "Uncle, do you want to call me for something?"

Uncle Gu looked at the energetic Gu Jiangkuo, feeling increasingly resentful. He said with a sullen face, "Gu Jiangkuo, were you the one who interfered with Ah Xin's matter?"

Gu Jiangkuo was stunned. He hadn't expected this sickly uncle to be so thoughtful. He was a little surprised, but of course he couldn't admit it.

"What are you talking about?"

Uncle Gu sneered weakly, "Don't treat others as fools. What I can think of, the old man can think of too. You can't hide it from him."

Gu Jiangkuo slowly suppressed the smile that had not yet reached his eyes and looked down at him condescendingly.

Uncle Gu took another breath and continued, "You're doing so well in the casino, how could you not have heard anything about it? Why didn't you tell father earlier? He, he's your brother! Ahem, ahem! Do you still have any heart?"

Hearing this reason, Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - so Uncle Gu was blaming him for this - but he also found it funny. How come it's my turn to take care of your son again? Now he remembered that we are brothers.

Gu Jiangkuo was too lazy to argue with him. He leaned down lazily and put his strong arms on Uncle Gu's wheelchair, which made the servants beside him very nervous, but they did not dare to step forward rashly.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Your voice is so soft, like a mosquito humming, I can't hear a word. I'm done with you."

Uncle Gu: “?!”

Uncle Gu was so angry that he started coughing violently, but Gu Jiangkuo had already let go and dodged as if he was avoiding the plague. The servants scrambled to protect the wheelchair, and two of the maids glared at Gu Jiangkuo with hatred, as if he were some dangerous and arrogant bastard.

Gu Jiangkuo didn't care and turned away - looking at the same thing from different angles would lead to different conclusions. This is what is called the butt determines the head. Gu Jiangkuo didn't blame them.

Those maids, and even Uncle Gu himself and Gu Xin, probably thought that he was an uninvited outsider. Not only did he seize the shares that "originally belonged to Gu Xin and his son" as soon as he arrived, but he also had no manners of a nobleman. He was full of brute force and was rude and unruly. I don't know how much they hated him in their hearts.

"Gu Jiangkuo!" Uncle Gu raised his voice this time, "Don't be so complacent. Even if the old man recognizes you, so what? Even if Xin is young and playful, so what? No matter what, he is still the heir of the Gu family. There is no way, ha... there is no way... it will be your turn! Ahem! You are just like your father."

Uncle Gu began to breathe heavily.

Gu Jiangkuo paused slightly and turned around. Because the sun was shining against his face, his facial features could not be seen clearly. He could only see a tall and cold figure standing in front of him, his expression hidden in the dark shadows.

"Your father was destined to have no name. Haha, you too. Do you think that just because you've been recognized, your status is justified? Do you understand why the old man didn't even hold a party to introduce you to celebrities in the circle?" Uncle Gu took a deep breath and spoke word by word, "You are just like your father, unrecognized."

Gu Jiangkuo narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, making a "clicking" sound.

However, Uncle Gu met his gaze, raising his head with great effort, as if venting years of resentment, as if trying to clear his name: "Those who are not acknowledged are bastards."

This time, even the servants' expressions changed. The strong maid in the lead had already gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, as if she was ready to take her master away at any time.

Gu Jiangkuo saw all this, and his anger had reached its peak. He wanted to kill this sick and vicious old man with one punch, but he forced himself to restrain himself because he saw a kind of provocation of fearlessness of death in Uncle Gu's eyes, as well as a little bit of the eagerness of a winner.

Gu Jiangkuo woke up instantly. Something was wrong. This sickly guy was deliberately provoking him!

Gu Xingang had just made a mistake, and he was angering him at this time... No, maybe even earlier. Uncle Gu had already felt unbalanced when the old man gave him 2% of the group's shares.

This sickly thing breaks at the slightest touch. Wouldn't it be easy to break into something as simple as porcelain?

Gu Jiangkuo walked over step by step and clearly saw Uncle Gu's sickly yellow face twisted, but he did not dodge and even made a move to stop the maid behind him from counterattacking.

At this point, Gu Jiangkuo became more certain.

Uncle Gu waited a long time for his strong nephew's fist, and opened his eyes in confusion. He saw that the anger on Gu Jiangkuo's face had faded. His expression was calm, but inexplicably carried a stronger sense of oppression. He said, "Uncle, you are right. Those who are not recognized are bastards."

But who would recognize it? Who would be the judge? That old, half-buried old man, Gu Zhonghong?

Gu Jiangkuo doesn't think so.

"I hope you live a long life and don't miss any details. Let's see who will be finally judged as a bastard." Gu Jiangkuo said slowly and softly, but the murderous intent hidden in his eyes made Uncle Gu shudder.

After saying that, Gu Jiangkuo ignored him and turned away. Uncle Gu didn't dare to call him even once.

.

Gu Jiangkuo did not return to his room, but strode straight to the old man's study, but heard that Gu Xin had already been scolded and was locked in the bedroom.

"House arrest?" Gu Jiangkuo said, as if he had heard of an interesting business opportunity. "It's quite interesting."

But when he ran to the door of Gu Xin's bedroom, the servant hurriedly stopped him: "Master Akuo, the master has ordered that no one is allowed to visit him, and no one is allowed to eat or drink."

"Wouldn't that starve my dear brother?" Gu Jiangkuo said expressionlessly, "My uncle only has this one son. If anything happens to Axin, how will my uncle's body bear it?"

"this……"

"Go prepare a snack and bring it over now."

"Master Akuo, I dare not..."

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Jiangkuo's eyes lit up. "If someone asks, just tell them what I want. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. What are you still hesitating about? Run forward!"

The servant pursed his lips and went as he was told.

Gu Jiangkuo thought to himself: Gu Xin, you really should thank your father.

Then, he turned the door handle with a click.
