Chapter 276 Old Master Gu: Jingxiao, it's the Gu family that's dragging you down...
Lu Jingxiao put his arm around Luo Zhiwei's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa Gu, I will also investigate this matter. It's most likely that someone is stirring up trouble, so let's not rush it."
Grandpa Gu looked like a deflated balloon, sighing and saying, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that for a moment just now, I felt a little disheartened."
Although he believed in his heart that his superiors would not make things difficult for Gu Jia, the appearance of the investigation team did not mean that there were no people above pulling strings.
If you want to investigate the Gu family, you need a reason; you still need to get a warrant.
But the investigation team still walked in so casually, ostensibly to conduct an investigation.
The fact that they didn't issue an investigation order means they want to see the Gu family's attitude. If they are tough, the matter may end there; if they are willing to cooperate, then the Gu family may be easy prey for them to manipulate.
They will keep dwelling on this matter, and the name Gu Hanchi may bring them endless trouble.
Fortunately, the Gu family stood united against outsiders and gave no one a chance.
This is the attitude of the Gu family.
Lu Jingxiao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering. He calmly stated, "Grandpa Gu, this is only natural. I will investigate this matter personally."
"Then you and Yulin will investigate together." Old Master Gu said with a hint of guilt, "Young Lu, in the end, it was the Gu family that dragged you down."
Lu Jingxiao: "!!!!!!!"
What did it implicate?
What will be implicated?
How can you say that?!
His emotions immediately surged: "Grandpa Gu, what are you saying? Weiwei and I are family, so naturally we are Gu family members too. What are you talking about implicating us!"
That's far too formal!
Weiwei belongs to him, and he belongs to Weiwei!
Weiwei's affairs are his affairs; they are inseparable!
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
You don't need to get so worked up.
This is something everyone knows.
Grandpa Gu was stunned. He hadn't said anything just now, so why was this kid so excited?
Luo Zhiwei couldn't help but pat Lu Jingxiao on the shoulder, scolding him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't care: "I'm just telling the truth. Grandpa Gu is being too polite. I'm your fiancé, so your business is my business."
Old Master Gu: "......"
Speechless. His mother opened the door for him. Speechless again.
Lu Jingxiao, that brat, is like a frightened bird. He hasn't even said anything yet, and he's already so agitated.
Are you afraid he'll give Weiwei up to someone else?
Old Madam Gu, on the other hand, watched with amusement, her earlier anger vanishing instantly.
She teased Lu Jingxiao, "Ah Xiao is just worried that we'll treat you like an outsider. Don't worry, you're Weiwei's only choice. How could we possibly separate you two? Your Grandpa Gu was just stating the facts."
"It is indeed the Gu family that has implicated you, making you subject to investigation as well."
Lu Jingxiao immediately said, "They're just making excuses, Grandma, don't take it to heart."
Madam Gu then looked at Gu Youran, who was standing silently to the side, and beckoned to her with some curiosity: "Youran, come here to me."
Gu Youran exclaimed "Ah!" and walked over to the old lady, sitting down beside her: "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"You Ran, it's you who's been dragged into this today. They've implicated you. It seems they really want to find something out of the Gu family." Old Madam Gu patted her hand affectionately. "Don't worry, if the Gu family really accepts the investigation, they won't make things difficult for you. We'll find a way to extricate you from the situation."
Gu Youran quickly said, "Grandma, didn't you say we're a family? Why are you excluding me? I'm not afraid of their investigation. A family should stay together."
Please don't abandon me anymore, please, please don't abandon me anymore.
Gu Youran was deeply hurt but hid it well. She forced herself to hug Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I'm not afraid of being investigated. I'm willing to stay with you and share your joys and sorrows."
Luo Zhiwei immediately asked, "Besides sharing joys and sorrows with me, what else do you want to do?"
Gu Youran's heart calmed down instantly because of Luo Zhiwei's words, and she nodded heavily: "Yes!"
**
Today, no one left the Gu family home, so the whole family was reunited. The happiest people were none other than Old Madam Gu and Old Master Gu.
The smiles on their faces never faded; they were all smiles the whole time.
It was as if today's events had no impact on them at all.
Liang Yu was also busy at home, working alongside the old lady, a smile on her face, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been so long since our house has been this lively."
Even someone as mature and composed as Gu Beixiao was teasing Gu Youran without caring about his image.
Seeing that she seemed uninterested, Gu Beixiao couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood today."
Gu Youran kept her distance from Gu Beixiao. Now he was just her sworn brother, not her biological brother, so she couldn't be so casual with him anymore.
She shook her head slightly, the smile on her lips was fake and forced: "I'm fine, brother, what could be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine."
Gu Beixiao simply didn't believe it: "If you won't tell me, then I'll tell Weiwei right now and have her come..."
"No!" Gu Youran quickly interrupted Gu Beixiao's thoughts: "I'm really fine, brother, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental, I..."
Gu Beixiao didn't press the matter too hard. He just gently rubbed You Ran's head with a pained expression: "What's there to be sentimental about? Just remember one thing: anyone might abandon you, but I won't, never."
"This is your eternal haven, you know?"
Gu Youran's tears fell down in an instant, and she quickly wiped them away so that no one would notice: "I know, so, brother, you won't abandon me, right?"
"Fool, of course."
Gu Beixiao smiled faintly.
Because of your unconditional protection back then, how could I possibly abandon you? You will always be my sister, my family.
No matter what I become, there will always be a place for you at home.
Gu Youran seemed to have been comforted, and instantly changed to a happy expression, regaining her previous cheerful demeanor: "Weiwei, I want to sleep with you tonight!"
"OK."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
He strongly suspected that Bao Bao and Gu Youran had slept with many people over the years; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so intimate.
He had only slept with the baby a few times.
That's right. Ever since he successfully slept next to Luo Zhiwei, Lu Jingxiao has never slept in his own room again.
Now we live in Gu's house, and not only are there no benefits, but the baby also has to sleep with other people.
The fact that Weiwei didn't refuse at all really saddened him.
——
That night, Gu Youran lay quietly next to Luo Zhiwei, intending to sleep there. However, despite her best efforts to hide her emotions, Weiwei still noticed.
"Ranran... I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't been able to take care of you." Luo Zhiwei clung to Gu Youran like a clingy child.
"I didn't even notice you've been in a bad mood lately. Is your dad up to his old tricks again?"
See, it's not that I'm unwanted. I didn't say anything, and someone understood my feelings.
Weiwei immediately sensed her emotions and could even guess who it was because of.
There are people who care about her.
She was perfectly fine in front of her brother, but as soon as Weiwei opened her mouth, she couldn't hold back anymore: "Weiwei... how did you figure it out so quickly...?"
