"As for Old Jiang, I'll go and communicate with him." Father Gu glanced at the live broadcast screen with disgust again. He really didn't have any good feelings towards his future daughter-in-law.
But there's no way around it, that's how business marriages are.
It’s not that you can get together just because you like each other, but it requires benefits.
The Gu family needs the Jiang family, and I believe the Jiang family also needs the Gu family.
Father Gu stood up and walked upstairs with his hands behind his back.
The eldest brother of the Gu family, who was sitting nearby, smiled and said, "Dad, you and the third brother hid it so well that I didn't even know that Jiang Shan was hidden by you. Dad really favors the third brother. I, the eldest brother, am not well-liked."
Gu Sinian's joking words startled Gu's mother. She glared at him fiercely and said, "What are you talking about mountains of gold and silver? You kid, isn't the Gu family's kingdom all owned by you brothers?"
This was the first time that Mr. Gu watched the live broadcast. He just felt that the conversation between the mother and son was a bit strange. He was only concerned about contacting Jiang Wansen as soon as possible and did not think too much about it.
Gu Sinian looked at his mother in surprise, "Aunt Qiu, you misunderstood me. I was talking about Jiang Shan, the Jiang family's housekeeper, who is also the father of Jiang Youyou mentioned by the Jiang family's real daughter in the live broadcast."
Today's mother Gu was married to father Gu later, and she is also his third wife.
Gu Sinian was the child of his first wife, so he was not favored.
On the surface, Gu's father gave the brothers a fair chance to compete, but in fact, Gu Sinian knew very well who the old man's preferred heir was.
He would be happy to see it happen if he could cause some trouble to Gu Yunting, even if the harm was not great.
Besides, the old man is very suspicious by nature, and it is not necessarily possible that he cannot hurt Gu Yunting.
As expected, Father Gu paused, his brow furrowed, a deep "chuan" wrinkle appearing in the middle of his forehead. "Jiang Shan? What do you mean? What does it have to do with the Third Brother?"
Gu Sinian looked even more surprised, then he lowered his head as if he had done something wrong. "No, it's okay. Dad, you go ahead and do your work. I have something to do at the company too."
Gu Sinian acted very flustered, and glanced at his mother with some fear as she glared at him fiercely.
The more he acted like this, the more Father Gu felt something was wrong. "Stop! Come with me to the study."
Gu Sinian looked at Mother Gu again.
Father Gu angrily scolded: "You are a grown man, but you always do things based on a woman's expression! You are really useless!"
Gu Sinian looked a little aggrieved, then he lowered his head and followed behind his father.
When Father Gu turned around, he looked at Mother Gu proudly and raised his eyebrows provocatively.
Mother Gu was so angry that she almost overturned the computer.
But she endured it, and after Gu's father led Gu Sinian upstairs, she hurriedly called Gu Yunting.
It seems very busy over there and the line is always busy.
Mother Gu was so anxious that she kept sending messages, so that the message would pop up even when she was on the phone.
When Gu Yunting called back, his tone was extremely impatient, "Mom, what do you want to do? There's no way I'll give up Youyou..."
"Wow! You only care about that vixen! Something big has happened! Gu Sinian told your dad about you hiding Jiang Shan! You know your dad's temper..."
"How is that possible? Uncle Jiang has never shown up at my place, and I've never told anyone about it... No, how did you know, Mom?"
"You still say that! You still have the nerve to say that! Everyone in the world knows it! You're the only one who's obsessed with that vixen Jiang Youyou! I'm telling you, you need to explain Jiang Shan's situation to your dad right now! Call the study, right now, right now! Do you hear me?"
In fact, Gu's mother never watches this kind of live broadcast from the entertainment industry.
But she is very smart, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on to the identity of Mrs. Gu. Just from Gu Sinian's words just now, combined with what she had just seen in the live broadcast of the Jiang brothers and sisters, she guessed most of what was going on.
Before I could say anything else, Gu Yunting had already hung up the phone.
At that time, the Gu family father and son had just arrived at the study when the phone rang.
Without waiting for his father to answer the phone, Gu Sinian grabbed his father and said, "Dad, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Gu's father impatiently pushed Gu Sinian away and said, "Gamble, gamble, gamble! Gambling on everything will only hurt you! Do you know why I dare not reuse you, my eldest son? I'm afraid you will gamble away the entire Gu family!"
Gu Sinian sighed deeply. "If I say I was wronged, you'll never believe me. Dad, I don't believe you really don't know how they treated me in private. Where would I get tens of millions..."
"Alright, alright, what do you want to say?" Father Gu waved his hands, obviously not wanting to listen.
Gu Sinian took a deep breath and tried hard to control himself so as not to strangle the damn old man in front of him.
Fearing that something unexpected might happen, he said in one breath, "Gu Yunting hid Jiang Shan, Jiang Wansen's housekeeper and secretary. I originally thought you knew about this, but I just tested you and found out that you were also deceived.
Aunt Qiu must have informed Gu Yunting just now, and this call must be from Gu Yunting telling you about Jiang Shan's news."
After saying that, Gu Sinian said no more and stood silently in the corner, just like his usual situation in this family.
Father Gu answered the phone with a doubtful mind.
Sure enough, it was Gu Yunting who called. He said apologetically, "Dad, are you still mad at me? I made you unhappy before, which was my fault as a son, but I'm also an adult in my twenties and have my own ideas."
Father Gu's face looked unhappy, and he couldn't help but look at his eldest son standing in the corner.
"Dad, are you listening?"
"Fart if you want to!"
Gu Yunting sighed helplessly, "You always say that our Gu Group relies on the Jiang family, but you don't want to live like this forever, do you?"
"So? You hid a living person and kept it a secret from your father?"
Gu Yunting was not surprised at all that his father already knew that Jiang Shan was hidden by him. He just continued to pretend to be helpless, "Dad, I know about the relationship between you and Uncle Jiang, so I want to be the bad guy myself..."
This sentence made Father Gu stunned for a moment, and his anger actually subsided a lot. His tone changed from anger to scolding, "Then you can't hide it from your father. If this is such a big thing, our entire Gu family will be buried with it!"
"So, I will only act in the name of Xingyao Entertainment. No matter what I do, I will not involve you and the Gu Group. Dad, I'm sorry, I really can't bear to see you shackled in Uncle Jiang's hands for the rest of your life.
If this succeeds, our Gu family will no longer have to rely on anyone.
If I fail, only Xingyao Entertainment, which is under my name, will be implicated.
I think it's worth sacrificing myself in exchange for your peace and security for the rest of your life."
"You kid..."
