Chapter 33

"Welcome home." Jiang Nuo also smiled. "Grandma is taking a nap, be quiet and don't disturb her."

"Okay." Gu Jiangkuo changed his shoes skillfully and followed.

Jiang Su watched the two of them enter the house: "..."

Very good, his brother never even looked at him from beginning to end! It made him seem like an outsider!

Jiang Su was too depressed to even enter the house when her phone rang. Sure enough, it was Lao Meiqin again. Jiang Su hung up without a second thought. But the phone kept ringing, and Jiang Su hung up again, never wanting to hear her voice again.

Whenever he thought of his biological mother and that man being affectionate, he felt sick. Jiang Su didn't even want to enter the room. He felt that the room was stuffy, so he went to the yard to play with Wangcai in a depressed mood.

Lao Meiqin was quiet for a while, and just when Jiang Su thought she had given up, she received another long WeChat message.

Like a short essay, it fills the entire screen.

Jiang Su frowned and picked up the phone. After reading it, his expression became even worse. He stood up and strode into the villa, but when he reached the door, he hesitated and stopped.

The silly dog ​​caught up at this time, wagging its tail, jumping and whining, and scratching Jiang Su with its paws, as if to say, "Why don't you play with me?"

Jiang Su sighed and rubbed Wangcai's head. "Wangcai, tell me, should I tell him? Who can I trust?"

The silly dog ​​didn't understand a word and thought Jiang Su agreed to continue playing with it. It howled excitedly, and then it heard Aunt Mei's loud voice echoing from the villa: "Second Young Master! The Young Master asked you to come in!"

Jiang Su was startled and turned off the phone screen reflexively.

After calming down, he deleted Lao Meiqin's "little essay" and walked in with some trepidation.

As soon as he walked in, he heard his fussy older brother say disdainfully, "Use the hair remover at the door to clean it before you come in! You're covered in dog hair!"

Jiang Su: “………………”

If you dislike dog hair, what kind of dog do you have?

Even so, Jiang Su remained obedient. Who made him live in someone else's house? Just as Lao Meiqin had just said on WeChat, he was "living under someone else's roof" and couldn't be as free as he was in his own home.

And just as Lao Meicen said, his brother only provided him with a place to live and didn't care about him at all. He never asked about his academic performance, didn't discipline him, and didn't care about him at all. He might even hope that he couldn't get into college and inherit the family business, and he sincerely wanted to spoil him.

The more Jiang Su thought about it, the more self-pity he felt. He lowered his head and sat down at the edge of the sofa, farthest away from Jiang Nuo. Then he heard his brother say impatiently, "Come here." Being so far away made him have to speak loudly, which was very tiring!

Jiang Su pursed her lips and didn't move.

"What's wrong again?" Jiang Nuo felt that he might be too old mentally, and there was a huge generation gap between him and his brother. He really couldn't understand young people, so he said succinctly, "I bought you two sets of clothes. The store said they will be delivered in half an hour. Don't run around. Try on clothes at home later."

Jiang Su looked up in shock.

My brother... bought clothes for himself?

Jiang Nuo got a headache looking at his brother's silly look, and said unhappily: "Even your game console has been confiscated!" If Aunt Mei hadn't found it when she was cleaning the room, he wouldn't have known that Jiang Su, the spendthrift, ran away from home without any clothes, only taking game cartridges!

A bag full of Switch cartridges! This little bastard is really good!

Jiang Su suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were completely mean-spirited, and said ashamedly: "Brother..."

Jiang Nuo said with a stern face, "Don't be so unconvinced! You think that just because your family is well-off, you can act like a jerk. If you grow up to be an uneducated and unskillful playboy, don't blame me for not recognizing you!"

My brother cares about him! Jiang Su lowered his head, feeling mixed emotions.

Jiang Nuo thought he was too harsh and scared the child, so he softened his voice a little: "It's not that I have high expectations of you. After you graduate from university, you must return to the company as an executive. We are brothers, and we must support Jiang's together, right?"

Are you still planning to let him return to the company as an executive?

This was completely different from his original idea and Lao Meiqin's idea! Even though they treated Jiang Nuo like that, Jiang Nuo always treated him as a family member...

Jiang Su couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes reddened, and she nodded heavily: "Brother, I will try my best!"

Jiang Nuo: "...Okay, I understand." No need to cry.

"I'll go study now!" Jiang Su took advantage of his excitement and rushed upstairs into the study. He disappeared in a few steps.

Jiang Nuo was left speechless and said to Gu Jiangkuo, "...Did I say something a bit too much just now? Did I scare him into tears?"

Gu Jiangkuo, who was two meters thick, said firmly: "That's not too much!"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "That's how you should treat children. You just appealed to their emotions and reason, and they must have listened. Isn't that learning?"

Jiang Nuo was amused: "What kid? How old are you compared to him?"

Gu Jiangkuo whispered, "You're not much older than him."

This sounds more like a couple of parents discussing their own child. In fact, aren't they both college students?

But Gu Jiangkuo secretly enjoyed this feeling of being a "parent," and couldn't help but ask, "What school do you think he can get into? It wouldn't be bad for him to be an alumnus of ours in the future."

Jiang Nuo knew his younger brother very well: "It's not good enough. If he can get into a second-tier university, then all the tuition fees my grandfather spent in the past will not be in vain."

But this wasn't important, and it wouldn't prevent him from promoting Jiang Su to the position of Financial Director. Certain important positions didn't require the incumbent to be extremely professional, but they did require absolute loyalty.

For example, the CFO knows all the secret operations of the group. Although Jiang Nuo does not intend to commit any crime, he cannot stop someone from wanting to sabotage him, so he has to take precautions.

For some important positions, he was not inclined to hire professional managers from the beginning. It was safer to cultivate the loyalty of relatives from an early age than to cultivate the loyalty of an outsider.

What's more, he believed in Jiang Su.

However, when talking about loyalty, Jiang Nuo thought of another person.

Gu Jiangkuo noticed the burning gaze, his ears reddened a bit foolishly, and he whispered, "Why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Nuo shook his head: "Nothing."

Well, a big shot like Mr. Gu is not something that can be kept in the small pond of Jiang's family. Sooner or later, he will have to leave and set up his own business. However, Jiang Nuo has always been very curious about how Gu Jiangkuo made his fortune.

A person can indeed live better than the average person with wisdom and courage alone, but if he wants to achieve the same success as Mr. Gu, he definitely needs opportunities.

What was Gu Jiangkuo's opportunity? Following his past life, Gu Jiangkuo would still be on the construction site. Perhaps he had already seized the first opportunity and become a foreman.

Could it be that my rash decision to bring him home and back to school changed his fate and caused him to lose his original opportunity?

The thought flashed through his mind, and before he could dwell on it, he listened to Gu Jiangkuo's rambling report on campus life: "After military training, we went back to school for two days. Freshman classes are all basic. Advanced Math and College English are quite simple, and they're all taught according to the textbooks. I don't think there's any difference in studying on my own. There's no need to attend every class... I listened to you and took an elective on engineering drawing related to architecture... I took notes in all the classes, and I helped with your class assignments. I used two different handwritings, so the teacher shouldn't be able to tell..."

"Also, I took some time to practice driving. My instructor said I'm making rapid progress and I might be able to get my driver's license next month."

Gu Jiangkuo is obviously a rather taciturn type, but once he comes back and is alone with Jiang Nuo, he naturally has endless things to say, as if he wants to make up for all the longing he has felt for her over the past month.

Jiang Nuo listened very patiently and made comments from time to time. Time passed quickly and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye. The brand that sent the clothes arrived and Gu Jiangkuo was interrupted. He shut up temporarily with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

It was at this time that he discovered that Jiang Nuo did not only make reservations for Jiang Su, but also selected a lot of large-sized seasonal clothes for Gu Jiangkuo.

However, before Gu Jiangkuo had time to try it on, the nurse came out from upstairs and announced according to Jiang Nuo's instructions: "Master, the old lady has woken up from her nap!"

Jiang Nuo: "Let's go and see grandma first. You must miss her."

This was natural. Gu Jiangkuo followed her upstairs and saw his grandma, whom he hadn't seen for a month. She looked energetic, with a rosy complexion and a little fatter. He couldn't help but feel more grateful to Jiang Nuo.

But I am also a little worried. I hope grandma will stop calling Xiaonuo "granddaughter-in-law" and embarrass her.

Then I heard my grandma say with a smile: "Xiao Gu, how come you are so dark?"

Gu Jiangkuo: “…………”

Grandma mistook him for his father again.

When Old Lady Wang called "Da Jiang", she recognized the right person. When she called "Xiao Gu", she usually mistook him for his father Gu Min.

Gu Jiangkuo sighed in his heart, "Grandma, it's me, I am Dajiang."

But Old Lady Wang was so confused that it was difficult for ordinary people to explain her. She held Gu Jiangkuo's hand and said, "Little Gu, Dajiang has made a name for himself. He has found a beautiful and capable wife!"

Gu Jiangkuo: “………………”

Jiang Nuo: “……………………”

The nurse pretended not to understand and went out to prepare afternoon tea for the old lady.

Old Lady Wang was in high spirits. "Little Gu, you have a miserable life. You have escaped from such a far place. Your family is so powerful but they can't accommodate you. How much can a young boy like you eat? I will support you from now on."

Jiang Nuo's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Where did Xiao Gu escape from?"

Old Lady Wang shook her head repeatedly: "This matter cannot be said. It must rot in my stomach and I won't even tell Weiguo."

Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo looked at each other and asked with their mouths, "Do you know?"

Gu Jiangkuo shook his head. This was not the first time he had heard such strange talk. When the old lady had an attack, she suspected that someone had poisoned her and said all sorts of illogical things.

Maybe he got it mixed up from watching some TV drama before. The doctor had said the same thing before, so Gu Jiangkuo never believed it and forgot what the old lady said as soon as he heard it.

姜糯卻有些當真，還繼續問：“姥姥，你方才說，大江的爸爸是從哪裏來的？他是誰家的孩子，真的姓顧嗎？”

然而王老太聽到這一串問話，更糊塗了，皺着眉想了好一會兒，又為難地砸了咂嘴，才忽然豁然開朗似的說：“孫媳婦！我把大房子留給你！”

姜糯：“……”

老太太緊張地說：“別告訴衛國啊，不然他又鬧……咱家房子，只留給你們倆。”
