Chapter 119 Confrontation with Gu Hanchi
At the Gu family's old residence, Gu Yulin's car had just stopped when Bai Yuxin's car braked behind him, followed closely by Lu Jingxiao and Li Huaijin.
Li Huaijin was shocked when he got out of the car. He looked at Lu Jingxiao with curiosity and asked, "Wasn't I the one who came? Why did you all come?"
How can I perform well with girls around?
If it weren't for Gu Youran... he would have gone mad and bitten Gu Hanchi to death.
Lu Jingxiao looked at the three women in front of him with some helplessness, feeling a bit of a headache: "I chased after them."
When Li Huaijin saw Gu Youran and Bai Yuxin, he immediately understood.
Haha, with those two around, it's no surprise that Luo Zhiwei will definitely be brought along.
It's definitely not Luo Zhiwei's request to come. Or, even if she did make a request, with Lao San there, it would be stopped. After all, they can't be sure about the situation, so bringing Luo Zhiwei along would be pointless.
If it's not Gu Hanchi, then... they'll be the ones in an awkward situation.
Gu Yulin will definitely be the one punished.
Gu Yulin glanced at it helplessly. Well, since they're all here, let them all go in. It wouldn't be appropriate to leave them waiting outside.
"Since we're all here, let's go in together."
Gu Yulin wasn't afraid of offending anyone; as long as he could get the jade pendant back, he didn't care what others thought.
A large group of people entered the Gu family's old residence. Gu Hancheng was stunned when he saw this scene. He looked at Gu Yulin in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Yulin nodded slightly to Gu Hancheng and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, is Third Uncle at home?"
Gu Hancheng seemed to immediately go into battle mode; his face instantly darkened, and he snapped unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Why did Gu Yulin bring so many people here at this time, including Lu Jingxiao and Li Huaijin? What is he planning to do?
"Uncle, we just have some questions for Third Uncle, we mean no harm."
As soon as Gu Yulin finished speaking, Gu Hanchi appeared at the top of the stairs, and he and Luo Zhiwei looked at each other.
Is this the girl who wanted to impersonate Gu Jia's child?
Gu Hancheng's child is long gone; she really has no sense of mortality.
"What does Yu Lin want with me?" Gu Hanchi asked as he entered the elevator on the second floor and took it to the living room on the first floor.
Without a doubt, this elevator was installed because of his accident, just to make it easier for him to go downstairs.
Gu Hanchi appeared calmly in front of Gu Yulin, as if he knew nothing about it.
Luo Zhiwei looked Gu Hanchi up and down. She hadn't expected that the third master of the Gu family would be sitting in a wheelchair. Her gaze was too blatant, and Gu Hanchi quickly turned his head to meet her gaze.
"This young lady is quite rude. How can she stare at her elders like that?" Gu Hanchi's voice was slightly cold, as if he was genuinely displeased.
After being prompted, Luo Zhiwei immediately nodded awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I was rude, I just..."
Lu Jingxiao immediately shielded the person behind him: "Third Uncle Gu, my Weiwei meant no harm, please don't say such things about her."
No one is allowed to speak ill of Weiwei in his presence.
Gu Hanchi curled his lips in self-deprecation, as if he were sneer: "It seems that this is the first love that made you so desperate back then, Xiao. A first love that has been broken and mended should indeed be protected like the apple of your eye."
Lu Jingxiao frowned in displeasure. What did he mean?
Gu Hancheng also looked at Lu Jingxiao with some dissatisfaction, and his first impression of Luo Zhiwei wasn't very good either: "Ah Xiao, are you going to be disrespectful to your elders for the sake of your girlfriend?"
This girl is really shrewd; she managed to turn Lu Jingxiao and his brother against each other with just a few words.
“Uncle Gu, that’s an interesting point. I just said that my Weiwei meant no harm. It was Uncle San who over-interpreted it. How did it become my rudeness?”
Li Huaijin chuckled roguishly, "Did my third son say anything? No, Uncle Gu, you can't be so blind to right and wrong."
"you....."
Gu Hancheng already felt guilty towards both of them, so he didn't say much. He could only look at Gu Yulin with displeasure and say, "What are you doing here? If you're not going to say anything, then leave now."
Gu Yulin took a deep breath, looked at Gu Hancheng, glanced at Gu Hanchi, and said in a cold voice, "Uncle, I know you went to Third Uncle's room yesterday. You must have found something."
Gu Hancheng felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm and met his gaze: "I don't know what you're talking about. Do I need to report to you before I enter your third uncle's room?"
"No need." Gu Yulin was actually prepared for this situation. His eldest uncle was only indiscriminate in matters concerning his third uncle; otherwise, he was gentle and refined.
He turned to look at Gu Hanchi and said with some helplessness, "Third Uncle, you also have a jade pendant. There's no need to take someone else's. It's a keepsake left to Miss Luo by her mother. You should return it to her."
He didn't want to drag things out; he wasn't a mild-mannered person and didn't like to do things in a roundabout way like his third uncle.
Gu Hanchi feigned surprise, spreading his hands in confusion and asking, "Yu Lin, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What jade pendant?"
This must be why Gu Yulin dislikes his third uncle.
Number one in playing dumb.
Gu Yulin sneered, his eyes showing no respect for his elders. At this moment, he chose to stand on his brother's side: "Third Uncle, you should have known what I was holding when you came back yesterday, so you switched the appraisal report. Just in case, you even sent someone to switch the jade pendant."
"Third Uncle, what you took were the keepsakes left to Miss Luo by her mother. Please return them."
Before Gu Hanchi could speak, Gu Hancheng stepped forward to defend him: "Gu Yulin, do you know what you're saying? How can you speak like that? This is your third uncle, not a criminal. How could your third uncle do such a thing!"
"Uncle, how long are you going to keep deceiving yourself?" Gu Yulin looked at Gu Hancheng with a helpless expression, as if he couldn't explain it clearly. "I just don't believe that you didn't notice anything wrong when you went to Third Uncle's room yesterday."
"Didn't you see the real report yesterday?" Gu Yulin was really angry: "The servants couldn't have entered my room without my orders. My parents aren't home. Uncle, you should be able to figure out what's going on by using the process of elimination."
Gu Hanchi suddenly gave a self-deprecating sneer. He chuckled twice and said, "So, a mere jade appraisal report is enough to warrant you, Yu Lin, going to such lengths to question me?"
Gu Yulin: "......"
Oh.
He knew he shouldn't have any expectations of his third uncle.
Li Huaijin asked in a serious tone, his voice raspy and irritating: "Tsk, Uncle Gu, how do you know it's a jade appraisal report? Even I don't know what it is. I only know that Miss Luo's jade pendant is missing. And Miss Luo is the apple of our Third Brother's eye, so naturally I have to do my part."
"However, it seems that Uncle Gu knows a lot about things that I don't even know."
Gu Hanchi's expression froze, and he glanced at Gu Hancheng, somewhat at a loss, only to see that Gu Hancheng was also looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Isn't that right? Miss Luo's jade pendant is missing, and Yu Lin said it was a report. So, my suspicion is reasonable. Is that wrong?"
Luo Zhiwei couldn't hold back any longer. She glared at Gu Hanchi and said angrily, "The Gu family has everything they need, Mr. Gu. If you really took my jade pendant, please return it to me. That jade pendant is very important to me."
