Chapter 168

Maybe it was because she was too tired last night, or maybe it was because Gu Jiangkuo's embrace was too firm, Jiang Nuo fell asleep again.

Gu Jiangkuo came back drunk at night. Jiang Nuo slept so much that he was still energetic at his usual bedtime, so he asked the waiter to repack his luggage.

When Gu Jiangkuo returned, he happened to see the waiter happily leaving with a generous tip. His alarm bells immediately went off. "Nuonuo, are you leaving?"

"I'll leave tomorrow morning, don't worry about me." Jiang Nuo said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't leave!" Gu Jiangkuo threw himself at Jiang Nuo with drunken eyes. Jiang Nuo pressed his palm against his chest. "Don't pretend to be drunk. It's not like I haven't been drunk before. I know that drinking too much won't make you lose your mind. You can use alcohol to act like a spoiled child, but you can't use alcohol to act like a spoiled child."

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

Gu Jiangkuo then stood still and acted coquettishly, "Can you give me a bath? The bathroom tiles are too slippery. I feel dizzy and can't stand."

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo could understand what Gu Dajiang meant even with his toes, but he was in a good mood recently, and as long as Gu Dagou behaved well, he was willing to indulge him.

The bath lasted for more than two hours, leaving many red marks on Young Master Jiang's originally warm, white and flawless skin. Having expended too much energy, Jiang Nuo fell asleep as soon as he returned to the bedroom.

The next day, Jiang Nuo was woken up by the hotel's wake-up call. He pushed Gu Jiangkuo back down and said, "Go to sleep. I've already booked a car. We'll go straight to the airport. Don't worry about anything."

But Gu Jiangkuo insisted: "Whether you need it or not is your business, whether I send it to you or not is my business."

Jiang Nuo couldn't persuade him, so she had to let Gu Jiangkuo follow her. Lion City is not big, and including traffic jams, it only takes half an hour to get from the hotel in the city center to the airport. Gu Jiangkuo sat next to Jiang Nuo in the back seat, and kept telling him to go to bed on time and drink less coffee when he got home, while playing with his slender and soft hands that played the piano.

Jiang Nuo couldn't help but ask, "Gu Dajiang, have you really never been in love before?"

Otherwise, how could he be so considerate in everything?

"Ah?" Gu Jiangkuo was stunned and said in a rough voice, "No! You are my first love! It's real!"

They were waiting for a red light at this time. The driver hired from the hotel looked back curiously. Young Master Jiang was a little embarrassed and glared at Gu Jiangkuo, "Keep your voice down."

Gu Dajiang responded obediently, and then glared back at the driver when Jiang Nuo wasn't paying attention.

Gu Jiangkuo's eyes were so fierce that the driver was frightened and didn't dare to move his neck the whole time.

.

After returning to Yanlin, Jiang Nuo immediately threw himself into work, busying himself with dealing with the backlog of documents, urging Jiang Xiaomi to do the hard work, and taking time to arrange a physical examination for his grandmother. He also paid attention to the news of the Nanyang Gu Group from time to time.

Once we get busy, the days go by quickly and two months are gone in the blink of an eye.

Yanlin has entered early summer, and the climate in Nanyang has always been warm and humid, suitable for human survival all year round, especially the elderly.

But Mr. Gu's life was not comfortable.

Gu Jiangkuo would take him to pose for a few photos every now and then and send them to the media so that they could be published.

Now everyone in Nanyang thinks that the relationship between the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren is very good - except me.

In the private cemetery, Gu Jiangkuo and Old Man Gu knelt side by side in front of Grandma Fang Wan's tombstone. From a distance, the scene of them remembering their loved ones together was inexplicably warm.

However, only Gu Zhonghong knew how painful his knees were when he knelt on the cold concrete floor.

"When can I get up?" Old Master Gu asked through gritted teeth, "I have rheumatism and can't stand the cold."

"Why are you in such a hurry, Grandpa?" Gu Jiangkuo said coldly. "My grandma has been lying in the cold ground for so long, thirty or forty years, right? You are husband and wife, so what's wrong with staying with her for a while longer?"

"..." Old Master Gu said angrily, "If you don't leave, I will!"

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he was pushed back by Gu Jiangkuo with a palm.

When Jiang Nuo was not around, Gu Jiangkuo would spend his time in the gym to relieve stress, besides working. He also ate a balanced diet, so he was even stronger than when he was working at the construction site. With his arm strength, he could easily knock down a middle-aged man, let alone an old man like Gu Zhonghong?

Gu Zhonghong was pinned down by his own grandson and couldn't move. There was no servant around him to obey his orders. He felt that no one could help him and no one could get help from him.

Gu Zhonghong had lived a glorious life, but in the end he ended up in such an embarrassing and miserable situation!

"What on earth do you want to do?" Old Master Gu was so angry that his blood pressure rose and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Grandpa, you should know best what I want." Gu Jiangkuo called the old man "Grandpa" all the time, which frightened the old man.

Gu Zhonghong: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Don't worry." Gu Jiangkuo said, "Come and spend time with grandma every day from now on. When I have time, I'll come and spend time with you myself. You'll understand."

“…”

“…”

Until the sun set, Mr. Gu finally couldn't bear it anymore - not only physically, but also mentally - he felt as if two lumps of ice were falling on his knees, and the pain was piercing. The photo of Fang Wan, which he had been staring at for too long, seemed to come alive in the gradually dimming light, staring at him eerily.

Old Master Gu felt cold all over and gritted his teeth, "Gu Jiangkuo, you want me to change my will? No way!"

Gu Jiangkuo ignored him, still keeping his hands clasped together, and silently recited the last time: "Grandma, I will avenge you and Dad. Please bless me with all the best, and also bless your granddaughter-in-law Jiang Nuo with good health, and to grow old with me."

Then he opened his eyelids and said, "Grandpa, isn't this very clear to you?"

"Even if I die, I won't let you inherit the Gu Group!" Gu Zhonghong said angrily, "The Gu Group, and even all my property, belongs to Gu Xin! Don't even think about taking it away."

"There's no need for you to change your will," said Gu Jiangkuo.

Old Master Gu looked at him in surprise.

Gu Jiangkuo laughed. "If you change your will, how long can you live? You are worried about this, Grandpa."

He stood up, stretched his muscles, and looked down at Old Man Gu from above. The dim light made Gu Jiangkuo's eyebrows and eyes hidden in the shadows, becoming blurred, but the contours of his facial features became clearer. The high bridge of his nose supported the three-dimensional lines, adding a sense of sharpness.

Old Master Gu was gazing at the thin sunset, looking at his tall, strong, and unfathomable grandson whom he didn't know, and a trace of fear arose in his heart.

Gu Jiangkuo: "Don't use Gu Xin as a shield. If you really cared about this grandson and were wholeheartedly paving the way for him, you wouldn't have ignored my uncle's objections and taken me back to Nanyang."

"The only thing you care about most is yourself." Gu Jiangkuo, "Grandpa, I know you better than you know yourself. I suggest you transfer the Gu Group to me as a gift, not as an inheritance."

"You...a bandit!! How could I have given birth to a bandit like you!"

"It's hard to understand?" Gu Jiangkuo said coldly, "You did the same thing back then, snatching the Fang family's assets from my grandmother."

He is now simply returning the favor.

"You, isn't your last name Gu?" Gu Zhonghong said, "Why are you trying to turn your elbow to the Fang family? Ah Kuo, let me go, and I'll give you half of the shares, okay? Half for you and Gu Xin, half each."

"To be honest, I don't like the current Fang family," Gu Jiangkuo said, "but I don't like this surname either. If it wasn't so easy to pronounce, I would even want to take my wife's surname, Jiang."

"you--!"

Old Master Gu was so angry at this unfilial son that he felt a sweet taste in his throat and wanted to vomit blood.

"Come here," Gu Jiangkuo ignored him and instructed the newly found Filipino maid in English, "Take good care of my grandfather. He needs to stay here with my grandmother until the early morning."

"!!" Gu Zhonghong's voice trembled, "You can't do this!"

He killed his wife and felt guilty, so he was most afraid of going near the cemetery after dark.

But as Gu Jiangkuo was about to leave, Gu Zhonghong shouted at his back, "Do you think I'll surrender if you torture me like this?"

Gu Jiangkuo paused and turned back: "Maybe. After all, you are selfish. Only your own safety can influence your decision."

Gu Zhonghong: “…”

"However," Gu Jiangkuo said, "I have a more objective way to force you into a corner. I forgot to tell you that the Gu Group is about to undergo a regime change."
