☆, Chapter 20: Skilled and Courageous
In the entire City A, there is only one Mr. Bai with the surname Bai, who is on good terms with Mr. Gu and can uphold justice for the Gu family - Bai Qingyuan.
Father Gu didn't expect that things would progress directly to the stage of inheritance division. It was indeed faster than he expected.
However, since Mr. Gu has passed away, the division of the inheritance is a matter of sooner or later. If it is arranged after the funeral, during this period of time, these people will cause a lot of trouble in order to fight for the inheritance. It is better to divide the inheritance early, which can save a lot of trouble.
Father Gu didn't care about these things and had never coveted anything from Old Man Gu. He just nodded calmly to show that he understood.
At this time, Gu Laosan and his family came down from upstairs and greeted them with smiles.
"Brother, why are you here just now? I thought you weren't coming."
Gu Guofeng's family of four all came. His adopted daughter Gu Na held Aunt Gu's arm, and his adopted son Gu Ciqian walked behind Gu Guofeng. The family looked very happy.
Gu Guofeng smiled and shook hands with Gu's father, speaking with a sarcastic tone. The meaning was self-evident. He was implying that Gu's father didn't care about family matters at all and didn't care about Mr. Gu's life or death, so he came the latest.
They were all business savvy, so how could Mother Gu not hear the hidden meaning in the words? She smiled and retorted, "Of course, I can't compare to Third Uncle, who is so idle and always takes the lead in everything."
Gu Ran: [Here he comes! Here he comes! The top star of this season's MVP competition has arrived!]
Gu Ran: [If I remember correctly, these people were the absolute protagonists of the funeral in the novel! When my eldest sister complained to Jiang Mengbai later, she said that this family had the most.]
Gu Ran: [It seems like... the adopted daughter and adoptive father are having an affair? And the adopted son is actually Old Man Gu’s biological son?]
Gu Ran: [Goodness, Old Man Gu is already 76 this year, right? Gu Ciqian is only 16, which means Old Man Gu must have been 60 when he gave birth to this kid. He's really going strong even at his age!]
Gu Ran: [This sperm survival rate is quite high, hahahaha——]
Snap——
The cigarette that Gu Guofeng had just handed to him was accidentally broken into two pieces by Gu's father.
The fake smile on Gu's mother's face froze.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing? If you don't like smoking, don't smoke. Why break a good cigarette into two halves?" Gu Guofeng said with a little dissatisfaction.
Father Gu and Mother Gu looked at him at the same time, their eyes were very strange, the kind of eyes that contained a complex mixture of scrutiny, sympathy, and many other emotions...
Gu Guofeng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, and didn't understand why these two people were suddenly looking at him like that.
Could it be that these two people caught him with some evidence?
Gu Guofeng thought about it and realized that what he had been doing recently was nothing more than having some affairs outside, which caused huge waves of adulthood.
There is no evidence that the eldest brother can catch.
However, the looks from Gu's father and mother were so strange, and they were getting stranger and stranger. He could not stand it any longer, so he made an excuse to go find Gu Guoyan and quickly took his family away.
The family of four left politely, and Gu's father and mother looked at Gu Na and Gu Ci Qian a few more times with particular attention.
In the past, the two of them had never paid serious attention to Gu Guofeng's family.
In my impression, the adopted daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and never caused trouble.
Gu Ci Qian is also very polite, unlike the playboy from the second brother's family. He greets them politely every time he sees them and treats them like ordinary elders.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were neither overly close to their nephew and niece, nor did they dislike them, so there was no extra impression of them.
Only after the two of them looked carefully did they realize that Gu Ci Qian really looked a bit like Old Man Gu. It could even be said that he looked more like Old Man Gu than Gu's father, especially his eyes and nose.
Gu Ran: [Oh, you left so soon! Gu Ciqian and Old Man Gu really look alike!]
Gu Ran: [I looked at the family photo at home. These two people look even more alike in stills than in motion. And my uncle didn't even notice it for all these years.]
Gu Ran: [That's right. He's always flirting with other women, so how could he have the time to pay attention to such things? No one would have thought his wife would be so bold as to adopt the child she had with her father-in-law and raise him at home.]
Gu Ran: [Even a young screenwriter like me, who is well-informed in novels, has never seen such a plot.]
Gu Ran: [I have to say, this person is truly audacious and skilled!]
Gu Ran: [The bolder the people, the more fertile the land!]
Gu Ran: [It’s strange, how come both of Old Man Gu’s sons don’t have children? Perhaps they have some genetic disease that makes them infertile?]
Gu Ran: [It's very likely that this hereditary infertility disease is passed down to males, not females.]
Gu Ran: [That's not right. Dad Gu is still able to have children. This should just be a problem between the two of them.]
Gu Ran: [Maybe those two spent too much when they were young and it damaged their health. Wasn't there an emperor in ancient times who couldn't have children because of this?]
When Mother Gu listened to Gu Ran's inner thoughts, her heartstrings suddenly moved, as if some blessing had come to her.
But Gu Ran's inner voice was complaining too much, and it was impossible for her to concentrate, so the brief thought only flashed by.
When we wanted to catch him again, Gu Ran had already changed the topic to the incident of catching him cheating at night.
Things like catching an adulterer have always been the hottest topic of discussion since ancient times. Gu's mother was no exception, and her thoughts immediately drifted to catching an adulterer.
Catching an adulterer... Aunt Gu herself is not clean, yet she wants to catch an adulterer?
It is true that one with great skill and courage is the real one.
However, even if it was something that had nothing to do with them, Gu's mother was happy to watch the fun.
"Big sister, third brother, when did you come? What are you doing there?"
Gu Ran was complaining when he suddenly looked up and saw Gu Yan and Gu Ximing standing at the door.
"Why don't you come over? What are you looking at there?"
When she spoke, Gu Yan and Gu Ximing came back to their senses and turned their gaze away from Gu Guofeng and his family who were leaving.
They wanted to go over, but just as they arrived at the door of the living room, before they even went in, they heard the explosive gossip, and at that time they were only focused on listening to their own thoughts.
They caught the first scene as soon as they arrived. They were very satisfied watching the excitement, and at the same time they were secretly looking forward to catching the adulterer in the evening.
The two of them walked over to Gu Ran while thinking about this.
"Dad, Mom, little sister."
"Well, you're here pretty quickly. Let's go upstairs and take a rest. We'll all get together in the restaurant for lunch. I guess Chairman Bai and the others will be here this afternoon."
Mother Gu briefly told the two of them about the arrangements that the housekeeper had just mentioned.
During this time, Gu Ran looked around secretly, but his mind was not idle at all.
Gu Ran: [Why didn't Fourth Brother come?]
Gu Ran: [And my second sister, is she coming yet?]
"Xi Yan and his team are currently training, so they can't spare the time and won't be here for the time being." Mother Gu pretended to talk to Gu Yan to answer the doubts in Gu Ran's mind.
"Since Gu Lan has severed ties with the family, she doesn't need to be involved in family affairs. I didn't inform her."
