☆, Chapter 47: Not Showing Emotion or Anger
Let’s go back three days.
Not long after Mr. Gu and his family left, the other members of the Gu family were also driven away by Mr. Gu one after another.
Mr. Gu even changed his will overnight and invalidated the one he had originally prepared.
In the next two days, Mr. Gu was very busy. He went to the company to show up, clean up some messes that he had not been seen recently, and collect evidence that Gu Xuemei and Qian Yanyan harmed him. He had no intention of letting these two people go.
The other thing was to finalize the details of the new will. It was not until last night that the new will was finally revised. Lawyer Wang sent it to the villa for Mr. Gu to review overnight.
At that time, Mr. Gu had just drunk the tonic soup before going to bed. He took the will and looked at it, and his expression became strange.
This fake death incident made him see many people clearly.
For example, his beloved fourth daughter, Gu Xuemei, turned out to be the one who wanted to murder him.
And his true love in his old age, Qian Yanyan, is also a bitch.
Originally, these two people were to receive the lion's share of the inheritance in his will, but after those things happened, he decided to give more of the inheritance to his two sons who came to him in his old age, namely, the two sons born to him by his Second Aunt Gu and his Third Aunt Gu, Gu Ciqian and Gu Ze'an.
In addition, although Uncle Gu Er is not very promising, he is one of the few children of Grandpa Gu after all. Uncle Gu San was angered to death by Aunt Gu San during this turmoil, so Grandpa Gu can't help but favor Uncle Gu Er more.
In addition to the original fund, he also planned to give Uncle Gu some shares.
But the will presented by Lawyer Wang was completely different from what he had instructed. The one who got the largest share was actually his most hated eldest son, Gu Guohao. How could he tolerate this?
Mr. Gu threw the documents onto the desk with a bang and glared at Lawyer Wang with a bad look.
"You're not even forty yet and your eyes are already blurry. Take a look at what you wrote. Is it the same as what I told you? Are you getting senile?"
Lawyer Wang stood respectfully across from the desk without saying a word.
Instead, it was Butler Ning who stepped forward, picked up the will on the table, flipped through it casually, and gave Mr. Gu an unusual smile.
"This will looks good to me. Any questions?"
"What's the problem?" Old Master Gu was furious and slammed the table twice. "Most of the property in here belongs to Guohao, and you still ask me what's wrong?"
"That rebellious son! Besides disobeying me, what else can he do? He doesn't deserve a single cent of my property!"
"Not worthy?" Butler Ning asked calmly, "But why do I feel that the eldest young master is the most suitable? If it weren't for Madam Ruan, how could the master have made his fortune? All the wealth you have now was earned because of the Ruan family, wasn't it?"
"What...what did you say?" Old Master Gu stared at Butler Ning in disbelief, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Butler Ning, who has always been steady, obedient and proper, and especially good at reading people's expressions and pleasing him, actually dared to speak to him like this.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"The master is the one who took the wrong medicine." Butler Ning slowly put down the document in his hand and tapped his fingertips on the wall of the bowl of tonic soup that Mr. Gu had just drunk.
A smile full of suggestive meaning.
"I took the wrong bowl of medicine."
Old Master Gu suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. He realized something was wrong and couldn't help but shrink back.
"What do you mean? That bowl of tonic soup...what did you put in that bowl of tonic soup? You put the right things in it, didn't you?"
He began to get excited.
Butler Ning ignored him, turned around and opened the door of the study.
There was a figure standing outside the door, his expression unchanged in the dim light of the corridor. As the door gradually opened, the other person's face was exposed in the bright light in the study.
He is the old housekeeper who has left the Gu family for many years.
"Why are you here?" Old Master Gu stood up suddenly and grabbed the crutch beside him, using it as a weapon to give himself a sense of security.
He clearly felt that something was beyond his control.
"I'm here to see my old boss, old customer, sir." The old butler, with gray hair and a vigorous spirit, walked towards Mr. Gu.
"Don't come over here, just stand there!"
Old Master Gu pointed his cane at him, panicked and angry.
"What are you doing? Are you all rebelling? Why did you bring him here so late at night? And what about the will? What are you all doing?"
"What? I should be asking the master about this."
The old butler smiled.
"Your current wealth is entirely due to Madam Ruan's dowry. It is Madam Ruan's family's various support that has brought you to where you are today."
"If it weren't for Madam Ruan, you would still be just a small wealthy businessman. How could you still want to own the family business you have today?"
"But how did you treat your wife? You ignored her, didn't care about her, and even brought other women home to make her sad."
"Do you like seeing your wife cry for you every night? Do you like the feeling of stepping on others?"
"Madam has been locked up in this deep mansion, suffering day after day, and now that the end has come, you are unwilling to give the eldest young master the property that he should have received?"
"This is what you owe Madam!" Butler Ning spoke word by word, gradually gritting his teeth.
Every time he spoke, Mr. Gu took a step back until he was in front of the window with the curtains closed. There was no way to retreat.
He looked at the old butler with his fangs bared, then looked at Butler Ning and Lawyer Wang who were standing behind the old butler with no intention of stopping him, and suddenly understood something.
He had worked hard for so many years and even used tricks like faking his own death, but he only saw the traitor in his family, but failed to see the wolf with sharp claws hidden beside him.
These two people, these three people...
She usually pretended to be so loyal and perfect, making him trust her and entrust her with his affairs, but at the critical moment she dealt him such a blow.
"Do you still remember Madam? This is what you owe Madam, and it should have been given to the eldest young master." The old butler continued.
Old Master Gu could no longer hear clearly. He felt as if someone was strangling his throat, his head was dizzy, his steps were unsteady, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He quickly grabbed the curtains and managed to keep his balance.
In a trance, he seemed to really see Ruan Qiu mentioned by the old butler.
Ruan Qiu was becoming increasingly thinner, like a walking corpse. She no longer had the gentle beauty she had when they got married. He hated her and kept his distance from her.
During those last few days, it was the old butler who took care of Ruan Qiu every step of the way, and he even gave the old butler a raise for this.
Later... Ruan Qiu died, and the Gu family welcomed new people one after another, and the old housekeeper was replaced by Housekeeper Ning.
Butler Ning is the adopted son of the old butler. He is more mature and stable than the old butler and knows how to please others.
"You guys, you were all in the same group from the beginning..."
Mr. Gu finally understood, but he also deeply realized that he understood it a little too late.
He rubbed his temples hard to prevent himself from fainting, and the crutch in his hand banged on the floor with a loud noise.
