☆, Chapter 41: Character
On the other side, in Gu's father's room, the Gu couple did not have such a good sleep.
Today's gossips came one after another, and the last one about Second Aunt Gu was even more shocking. Father Gu felt that the relationships in the Gu family were so complicated that even he couldn't make sense of it.
Gu's mother also felt confused and even felt lucky to have escaped a disaster.
"My second sister-in-law...when did she...I don't know if she did it voluntarily or was forced. This old man is really..."
Mother Gu didn't finish her words, everything was implied.
The father-in-law, who was originally addressed as a last resort of courtesy, has now become an old man.
Father Gu knew that Mother Gu was disgusted by these things, and he himself was disgusted too. He sighed and said, "In any case, it happened many years ago. Even if it was forced, the children are so old now, and there is no way to pursue it. I think my second brother and sister-in-law should value the inheritance more right now."
"That's right." Mother Gu was also a pragmatic person, or perhaps it could be said that a qualified businessman would have this kind of pragmatism in his bones. "This is what my second sister-in-law deserves, but I think my second sister-in-law doesn't seem to want to recognize Ze'an."
"How can we talk about this kind of thing? Even the third son's wife had to push Ci Qianzhi away, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to say it at all..." Father Gu shook his head, looking a little panicked.
When Gu's mother saw him like this, she knew that he was recalling the past again.
It has to be said that Mr. Gu is a really fickle person. Ruan Qiu was obviously one of the most beautiful women when she was young, with a beauty that was not inferior to that of a celebrity, but she still couldn't keep Mr. Gu's heart.
After the novelty of marriage wore off, Mr. Gu went out to have affairs with other women.
Ruan Qiu was very intolerant and often quarreled with Old Man Gu because of this. After giving birth to Gu's father, she was in poor health, but Old Man Gu did not show any mercy to her and was still harsh in his words.
In the end, Ruan Qiu's condition worsened and he was dying. Old Master Gu even refused to return to the villa to take care of him. It was the kind old housekeeper who took care of him for a whole year, otherwise Ruan Qiu would probably have died even earlier.
For these reasons, Mother Gu can completely understand Father Gu's hatred for Old Man Gu. If she had such a father, she would definitely want to crush him to death.
Mr. Gu's character has always been hated by everyone, but after eating some melons recently, I found that this person is even more shameless than I imagined. No wonder Mr. Gu is so depressed.
Mother Gu raised her hand and placed it on Father Gu's back, stroking it back and forth, gently stroking him as if to comfort him. "Okay, don't think about those unhappy things anymore. Go to bed early."
"Well, it's all in the past." Father Gu grabbed Mother Gu's hand and held it in his palm, "But I still feel sorry for her."
"Yes, grandma made the wrong choice in her life." Mother Gu pinched Father Gu's fingers, "But having you here is also a comfort to grandma."
She is also a mother and knows how important a child is to a mother, especially when her husband is completely unreliable.
Father Gu was once Ruan Qiu's hope.
"Well, that's why I won't take the old man's property. I don't want a penny." Father Gu gritted his teeth.
"I know, I understand. Don't worry, I don't want you to fight for anything." said Mother Gu.
…
The next day, when we went downstairs for breakfast, Gu Ran was the second to last to arrive.
Everyone else in the restaurant had already arrived, leaving Bai Yifan alone, who had to wait a while because he was on a video conference.
The servants have already prepared breakfast and are just waiting for everyone to arrive and serve it.
When Gu Ran entered the restaurant, he found that the TV on the wall was on.
This TV was installed when Mr. Gu was alive. He had a habit of watching financial news while eating in the morning.
However, these young people do not have this habit. The TV has been turned off for the past two days and no one has turned it on.
Today is unusual.
There was a boring commercial playing on TV, but someone had muted it and no one was paying attention.
Gu Ran took a quick look, then looked away and went over to find a place to sit down.
This is where she and Bai Yifan usually sit every day, and she even left an empty seat next to it for Bai Yifan.
Not long after Gu Ran sat down, Bai Yifan arrived late.
Seeing that the last guest had arrived, the servant began to serve the dishes.
Today's breakfast was rich and varied, and the table was quickly set.
Gu Ran was already hungry, and he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
At this moment, the TV that had been playing the advertisement in silence suddenly made sound, and the picture changed, from the model mansion in the supplement advertisement to a familiar place.
Gu Ran opened his eyes slightly and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table.
Isn’t this...isn’t this the corridor on the third floor of the Gu family’s house?
There's no mistake, she just came down from upstairs.
Bai Yifan picked up the chopsticks and placed them next to Gu Ran's plate. He frowned slightly as he watched the scene change.
Everyone else in the restaurant was also attracted by this scene.
The corridor was empty at first, but soon a person entered the picture from the corner of the stairs.
The person was wearing beautiful crystal high heels and walked gracefully past the camera. She came to a room at the end of the corridor, pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Ran recalled and vaguely remembered that this seemed to be Qian Yanyan's room.
She was not familiar with Qian Yanyan, they had not spoken much to each other, and she had not paid much attention to her, so she did not remember it very clearly.
But the others, especially those who lived on the third floor, had very clear memories. They all remembered clearly that it was Qian Yanyan's room.
Everyone looked strange.
You have to know that Qian Yanyan has a very cold personality, and she acts condescendingly towards Mr. Gu and his children. This leads to everyone having an average relationship with her, and they have to knock on the door if they have something to say.
Only very familiar friends would dare to push the door open without knocking.
Gu Xuemei has always been well-educated and shouldn't be so rude.
Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Xuemei, who was sitting at the end of the table.
Gu Xuemei's face didn't look very good, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she had an expression of endurance and suppression.
On the screen, the scene suddenly changed from the corridor to the interior.
Everyone's first reaction was to think that this was Qian Yanyan's room, after all, the previous scene was Gu Xuemei pushing the door open and entering.
But after a closer look, everyone discovered that this was not Qian Yanyan's room, but Gu Xuemei's room.
The structure of the room was similar to that of the others, with a large terrace in the front and curtains drawn all around. Gu Xuemei and Qian Yanyan were huddled in a corner, looking very close.
Gu Ran was shocked.
Everyone else also took a breath of cold air. This this this this this...
Without waiting to take another look, Gu Xuemei suddenly stood up from behind and trotted towards the TV, obviously wanting to turn it off.
But before she could get close, Cheng Shan stepped in front of the TV and blocked Gu Xuemei's way.
"Get lost!" Gu Xuemei shouted coldly, her eyes piercing Cheng Shan like ice knives. "Don't think I don't know it was you who did it. How dare you secretly take photos of me!"
"Secretly filming?" Cheng Shan snorted coldly, "Didn't you say you were doing it above board? If you dare to do it, why are you afraid of people seeing it?"
"What's your intention in putting this kind of thing on there!" Qian Yanyan also came forward from the other side, obviously intending to turn off the TV.
Chengshan blocked them from both sides, and Aunt Gu Er and Aunt Gu San also came forward to help.
"Let's talk it over nicely. Let's first figure out what's going on."
"Yeah, Xuemei, Yanyan, you two shouldn't be so excited."
The two seemed to be trying to reconcile, but in fact they were trying to stop Gu Xuemei and Qian Yanyan.
