Chapter 97

Zhong Bo: “?”

Uncle Zhong: "Don't joke with me..."

Gu Jiangkuo said calmly, "Since you're older, I'll call you Uncle Zhong. Please tell Chairman Gu that if you want to invite someone home in the future, it's best to investigate their background first. I'm really busy, so I won't see you off."

Zhong Bo failed to complete his mission and returned to Nanyang in disgrace. After conveying Gu Jiangkuo's intentions in detail, Gu Zhonghong was also shocked.

At first, Gu Zhonghong thought that his eldest grandson was as stubborn as Gu Min, and was suffering because of his stubbornness. Unexpectedly, after careful investigation, he found that Gu Jiangkuo was telling the truth.

He actually has a company under his name, called Baimi Technology.

Although Baimi's acquisition of Shengchen has not been announced yet, with the power of the Gu family, there is nothing they cannot find out as long as they want. It is estimated that the final profit will exceed 100 million yuan, and Gu Jiangkuo is not bragging.

Gu Zhonghong looked extremely haggard, with dark circles under his eyes from prolonged insomnia. He sighed, "I underestimated this kid before. I didn't expect he actually had the capital to be proud..."

"No matter where your children grow up, they will naturally be excellent," said Uncle Zhong.

Gu Zhonghong waved his hand. "I don't want him to be that outstanding. Children who are too outstanding are hard to handle." He sighed, "He's so young, and already handling a business worth hundreds of millions. Even I back then... It seems he's not satisfied with the 'sweet promise' I prepared before, and he's going to add more chips."

"I can only ask Gu Xin to make the trip for me. But, Gu Xin has an important exam, so we have to wait for a while." Gu Zhonghong said, rubbing his temples irritably.

Uncle Zhong shook his head silently in his heart: It is said that human hearts are born biased, just like the master. He has two grandsons, but one is unwilling to go in person for such a big thing as recognizing his relatives, and the other can't bear to interrupt him even for such a small thing as taking an exam.

.

When President Jiang returned from the meeting, he heard about the Nanyang Gu family sending someone over. He hurried back to the office and asked Gu Jiangkuo, "How did the talk go? Have you confirmed your identity? When are you leaving?"

Hearing him ask this, Gu Jiangkuo felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Are you so eager for me to leave?"

Jiang Nuo: “?”

"Of course not," Jiang Nuo said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Didn't Nanyang send people here to pick you up?"

Gu Jiangkuo also knew that he shouldn't lose his temper with him, but when he saw Nuonuo come back and mentioned that he was leaving, he still felt unhappy and said sullenly, "No, I'm not leaving."

"What? Aren't they here to pick you up?"

"They wanted to pick me up and confirmed my identity, but I didn't plan on leaving right now."

Gu Jiangkuo recounted the whole conversation with Zhong Bo in detail. Young Master Jiang listened with his chin in his hand, nodding frequently. "That's a good idea. Who are we embarrassing by only sending a housekeeper? We won't leave! This is called waiting for the right price. Wait until they show their sincerity. Otherwise, they will look down on you when you go back."

"That's not what I meant!" Gu Jiangkuo said irritably. "I'm not trying to sell myself to a higher price, and I'm not playing tricks on them. I simply don't want to leave. Don't you really understand?"

How could Jiang Nuo not understand?

However, Young Master Jiang had to be coaxed since he was a child, so how could he tolerate being spoken to in such a harsh tone?

His young master's temper flared up, and he said coldly, "Are you arguing with me? As expected, since I became Young Master Gu, my temper has also risen."

Although he said this, Jiang Nuo knew in his heart that this was something he shouldn't say.

But he just couldn't control himself. Just like Ding Pingzhou had said back then, his temper was too much for anyone to handle. Perhaps he was just right for finding a broke, pretty boy who could feed and care for him without complaint for the rest of his life.

Young Master Jiang waited for Gu Jiangkuo to retort, but Gu Jiangkuo remained silent, then whispered, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Nuo: “?”

Gu Jiangkuo suddenly hugged him and said, "I actually want to recognize my relatives too. No matter what the reason is that they suddenly want to recognize me after so many years, I want to recognize them. After all, it means that I will have a lot of wealth. I am no exception. I also want to have a good family background and a good origin, so that I can be worthy of you."

Jiang Nuo: “…………”

His boyfriend suddenly did this, and he couldn't even get angry. He even felt a little distressed.

Young Master Jiang just stood there in a daze, letting his tall boyfriend hug him as he continued, "You know what? When I was a kid, I actually asked my dad why I didn't have grandparents. My dad said my grandma was dead and my grandpa was a bad guy, so he told me not to even think about looking for him."

"I also vaguely knew that my dad and my grandfather might not have a good relationship. How easy would it be for a wealthy family like theirs to find someone? But they left my dad alone in a foreign country for so many years. So many years have passed, why did they suddenly look for me? There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I even thought that maybe someone in his family has a terminal illness and needs me to donate organs. Otherwise, why would they draw my blood?"

Jiang Nuo: “!!!”

Although it sounds outrageous and cliché, it seems to make sense logically.

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but worry. In his previous life, he knew very little about the Gu family. After all, it was such a top-tier wealthy family, too far away from ordinary people like him. Could Gu Jiangkuo's guess be true?

"Even so, I still want to go back. I want to be worthy of you. I don't deny that I have ambitions, and I want to stand on the shoulders of giants to achieve my goals... But I'm conflicted because I really can't bear to leave you. And as soon as you came back, you asked me when I was leaving, as if you couldn't wait to get me out. Nuonuo, I'm really sad."

"..." Mr. Jiang's heart was almost as soft as cotton. Now all he had left was heartache. How could he still have the temper of a young master? All he could do was apologize.

"I'm sorry, Dajiang, it's my fault," Jiang Nuo said, "I've considered so many things and I didn't mean to kick you out..."

"Then call me brother." Gu Jiangkuo said sullenly, "I'll forgive you if you do."

Jiang Nuo: “?”

Jiang Nuo: "...Brother."

"Call me Brother Gu again, just like the day we first met."

“…Brother Gu.”

"Okay." Gu Jiangkuo then let him go.

Because he was hugged too tightly just now, Master Jiang was a little breathless. Now that he was released and his brain was getting enough oxygen, he realized why he was the one apologizing to him? He even called him "brother" several times???

It seems like I’ve suffered a great loss!

However, at this time, Gu Jiangkuo conjured up a pair of keychains like a magic trick: "This is for you. I received a courier this morning. I wanted to give it to you after you finished the meeting."

Jiang Nuo took it and smelled a faint fragrance. He asked, "Red Sandalwood?"

Gu Jiangkuo thought to himself, he is indeed a young master, he really knows what he is talking about.

"Well, his family makes bracelets. I checked, they're quite famous," Gu Jiangkuo said. "I wouldn't dare give you anything cheap."

Jiang Nuo agreed: "That's right."

A small amount of high-quality red sandalwood can be sold for five figures. This material is usually used for beads and ornaments. It is a waste of resources to make key chains. However, Young Master Jiang likes this kind of luxury with great value for money, and this gift really touched his heart.

The keychain is oblong in shape, with a pair of cute little animals carved on it. One has a lifelike big-eyed ragdoll cat carved on the front, and "Boss" written on the back; the other has a mighty lone wolf carved on the front, and "Boss Lady" written on the back.

It seems that President Gu really regards herself as the little wife of President Jiang.

"Do you like it?" Gu Jiangkuo asked a little nervously.

"I like it." Young Master Jiang gave an affirmative answer, then threw his keys and keychain to Gu Jiangkuo and ordered: "Put it on the string for me."

This is expressing love through actions.

Gu Jiangkuo, whose identity as a wealthy family had just been confirmed, was asked by the eldest young master to do chores, but he was happy to do it. He deftly broke the tight metal key ring and carefully hung the rosewood key chain in it. At the same time, he also hung his own key, and the pair was complete.

After hanging it up, I even admired it for a while, placed it on the table from several angles, and took photos.

Seeing his silly look, Young Master Jiang couldn't help but laugh, and then he said out loud the thought that had been turning over in his mind for a long time: "Brother Jiang..., if they really have that kind of idea, then don't go back to Nanyang."

"I'll support you."
