Chapter 177 Old Master Gu Unleashes His Power
Upon seeing Gu Hanchi, Gu Hancheng's already heavy mood worsened. In the past, he would have been extremely concerned about his third brother's condition.
But now, he wasn't in the mood at all, and was even a little impatient.
Gu Hancheng's tone was unfriendly: "Third brother, do I have to report to you wherever I go now?"
Gu Hanchi frowned in displeasure, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, still pressing forward: "Big brother, I was just showing you some concern, and you're already so impatient with me?"
He said with feigned self-deprecation, "That's right, I'm just a good-for-nothing. How can a good-for-nothing be worthy of caring about my brother's life? From now on, I won't concern myself with your affairs at all."
He sat there, as if sulking, waiting for Gu Hancheng to apologize.
He would only be happy and satisfied if he received an apology from his older brother.
Everyone in the Gu family should revolve around him. It doesn't matter if his second brother and sister-in-law don't like him, as long as he has his eldest brother as a helper.
Gu Hancheng instinctively wanted to apologize, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out. After thinking it over calmly, he actually nodded in agreement: "It's good that you think that way, Third Brother. We all have our own lives. I used to be too considerate and meddled too much. From today onwards, I will no longer interfere in your affairs. As for my affairs, you don't need to ask about them anymore."
Instead of the usual apology, Gu Hanchi heard his older brother say such things, and he glared at Gu Hancheng in disbelief.
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
When did his older brother ever say such a thing to him? Does his older brother not intend for him to interfere in his private affairs?
"It means exactly what it says, Third Brother, can't you think about it?"
Gu Hanchi was choked by these words and was furious. His chest heaved, and he wanted nothing more than to curse them out.
But he could guess why: Luo Zhiwei and the others wanted to enter the Gu family.
No way.
Why is it that he has lived a life of loneliness and hardship, while his elder brother has both a son and a daughter?
That's not fair!
The eldest brother slept with his woman; he'll never have a good life.
He glared at Gu Hancheng resentfully, his attitude dark and gloomy: "Brother, you only went to the Lu family once, and now you're saying this to me?"
"You haven't even given me a gift, and now you want to cut ties with me?" Gu Hanchi continued to press, "No, you're planning to sever all ties with me. You're not going to be my older brother anymore?"
"When I lost my leg, you said that I would be your leg for life, that I would be the most important person to you, and that no one could surpass me. What do you mean now? It's only been over twenty years, and just because you have children, you're planning to abandon me?"
Gu Hancheng felt suffocated by Gu Hanchi's accusations. The third brother... wasn't like this before.
Why did he say that?
"Third brother...how could you...When did I ever say such a thing? I just..."
"Right now, your children are the most important thing to you, aren't they? As your younger brother, you say I'm your responsibility, and now you're going to abandon me?"
Gu Hanchi didn't let Gu Hancheng finish speaking at all; his bloodshot eyes looked terrifying.
Gu Hancheng reached out, his eyes filled with heartache. Over the years, he had long since become accustomed to putting his third brother first in everything. But was this really the right thing to do?
What did he get in return for his meticulous care for the third child?
Is this the accusation from the third brother at this very moment?
He really...can't understand.
"Third brother, since you've said that, I have nothing more to say." Gu Hancheng warned in a muffled voice, "From now on, tell your people to stay away from me and stop monitoring my movements."
He didn't tell anyone where he went today, but Gu Hanchi knew everything. What else could it be but an investigation or surveillance of him?
Gu Hanchi laughed in anger. His mind was even more twisted. If he couldn't have an easy time, then no one else could either.
"Brother, you're cutting ties with me just so you can get your children back, right?" He continued to stab Gu Hancheng in the heart with sarcasm: "Look at them, do they look like they want anything to do with you?"
"You just turned down gifts worth twenty or thirty million, you even gave me a villa, and now you want to kick me out." Gu Hanchi complained, one accusation after another: "Big brother, you really are my dear big brother!"
When his subordinates reported back, he was almost going crazy. He never expected that his elder brother would go to such lengths for Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao.
Including what Luo Zhiwei said, wasn't it all an attempt to sow discord among his family members?
Luo Zhiwei, you are so cruel!
Gu Hancheng's face turned cold. Sure enough, someone was watching him. He glared angrily and rebuked Gu Hanchi: "Third brother, you've gone too far! How dare you follow my every move? And you even dared to eavesdrop on my conversations with others. What if I said something important...?"
Originally, he wanted to remind everyone that the whereabouts of any member of the Gu family were not to be followed. This was a rule and a principle that had to be followed. The third brother was making a mistake by doing this.
But to his surprise, Gu Hanchi didn't buy it at all, and even had an indifferent attitude.
"Brother, am I still considered a member of the Gu family? You're kicking me out, how can I still be considered a member of the Gu family?"
"I..." Gu Hancheng felt a little guilty, and his expression was somewhat unnatural: "At the time... that's what I was thinking, but I was only trying to help the siblings integrate into the family as quickly as possible."
"Big brother, you really...?"
Before Gu Hanchi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the butler who came in from outside: "Sir, someone outside wants to see you. They say that President Gu Beixiao sent him."
Gu Beixiao?
What did he send these people to do?
"Let him in."
Gu Hancheng quickly regretted his decision to let the man in.
**
Gu Beixiao's assistant walked in carrying a jewelry box. Upon seeing the familiar items, Gu Hancheng's face darkened considerably.
"Mr. Gu, these are the items our CEO asked me to return: a ruby necklace, a diamond bracelet, a set of villa keys and car keys. Please check them."
Everything was returned untouched. How could this be?
"Did your CEO ask you to bring this over?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu." The assistant was very respectful, and he nodded slightly to Gu Hancheng: "Mr. Gu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
The assistant turned away gracefully, while Gu Hancheng slumped onto the sofa, looking like a pitiful wretch who had been abandoned.
Gu Hanchi, however, felt extremely pleased: "Hahahaha, big brother, look at the kind of people you want to treat with sincerity, you look down on all of them, you..."
"They're just ungrateful wretches who've been wild and unruly all their lives. Do you really think they don't want anything? They just want more!"
"They are despicable people, they don't deserve to be your sons and daughters, they don't deserve to enter the Gu family!"
Gu Hanchi roared hysterically, relentlessly belittling Gu Beixiao and Luo Zhiwei, and coincidentally, Old Master Gu overheard these words.
He looked down from the second-floor corridor, his face filled with anger and unfamiliarity.
His third son felt like a stranger to him, a complete stranger.
He angrily picked up the stamp and slammed it against the corridor handrail: "Gu Hanchi, is this how the Gu family teaches you to talk about your juniors behind their backs? As an elder, is this how you set an example?"
Gu Hanchi froze, his face pale as he looked at the old man.
How much did Dad hear? Could it be...?
What Dad can't tolerate most is talking behind someone's back...
"Dad, I..."
Old Master Gu ignored him, and instead, with a gloomy face, he turned to Gu Hancheng and sneered, "Your son and daughter are being insulted like this, and you, as a father, are completely indifferent?"
