☆, Chapter 49 You are a very nice person
Things that I thought were very far away suddenly came to mind and are still vivid in my mind.
When Ruan Qiu married Mr. Gu, she said it was a marriage of equal status, but in fact it was just for the sake of respectability.
Ruan Qiu married into a family of lower status, and the Ruan family was much more prosperous than the Gu family at that time.
It was also thanks to the relatives and connections of the Ruan family that Mr. Gu was able to rise from a small wealthy businessman to a wealthy man.
But he did not care about the old relationship and started to fool around not long after the marriage. While coaxing the simple-minded Ruan Qiu, he kept mistresses outside.
Later, Ruan Qiu discovered the truth and felt disheartened.
Father Gu watched his mother become increasingly thinner and sicker, and gradually refused to leave the room.
However, the father rarely comes home and does not care about them, not even showing the most basic sympathy.
During that time, it was the old housekeeper who supported Gu's father.
The old housekeeper took good care of Ruan Qiu while teaching Gu's father his homework and playing with him. He also managed the entire Gu family in an orderly manner. The nanny did not dare to do anything bad to the little Gu's father just because the master was often away.
Later, Ruan Qiu passed away, and Gu's father gradually grew up and became sensible, and began to oppose Old Man Gu.
The relationship between the two father and son has never been good, and Gu's father has long since given up expectations of that so-called father.
When he grew up, he moved out of the Gu family.
Mr. Gu’s success today is due to his own success from scratch and the support and assistance from his mother’s family.
He can say with confidence that he does not rely on Mr. Gu.
The old housekeeper also left the Gu family residence after Gu's father came of age, saying that he was old and had returned to his hometown to retire. His adopted son, Housekeeper Ning, took over and continued to serve as the housekeeper of the Gu family.
Father Gu and the old housekeeper have always had a good relationship. After the old housekeeper left, Father Gu would visit the old housekeeper's hometown every year.
The old butler was always happy to see him, but because he was too polite, there was always a sense of distance between the two of them.
In Gu's father's eyes, the old housekeeper has always treated him as the young master.
He never expected that the other party would do so much for him behind his back.
What his biological father didn't do for him, fairness, protection, love... it was given to him by the old butler.
Father Gu was in an extremely complicated mood. Naturally, what Butler Ning said fell on one ear and out the other, and he didn't take a single word of it to heart.
So now he had no idea how to answer Butler Ning.
On the one hand, he ignored the other party's embarrassment, and on the other hand, he constructed the image of the forbearing and scheming Butler Ning in Gu Ran's mind.
Being able to bribe Lawyer Wang and planning for so long, all happened right after Mr. Gu faked his death. Everything went so smoothly and didn't arouse any suspicion at all.
If it weren't for Gu Ran's ability to see through everything, Gu's father would never have imagined that there were so many hidden secrets behind Grandpa Gu's death.
But what does it matter if you know?
On one side is the old butler who is devoted to him.
On one side is his cold-hearted and cold-blooded biological father.
It's already clear which side the scale is tipping towards.
If he hadn't been afraid of getting his hands dirty with blood, Gu's father would have thought of killing Old Man Gu more than once.
That man, he is not worthy of being his father! Not worthy!
In just a moment, Father Gu suppressed all his surging emotions and concealed his expression by lowering his head to drink tea.
When he looked up again, he had returned to his usual friendly self.
It was as if he had never known the truth and had never heard Gu Ran's inner thoughts.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now. I just found it a little unbelievable, not trying to question you."
"I understand." Seeing that his expression had returned to normal, Butler Ning felt relieved. "It's common for people to have sudden changes in their temperament as they age. When the old man faked his death, he saw through some people. It's not surprising that he chose to place the future of the Gu family on the eldest young master."
Gu Ran, who was pretending to play with his phone, watched the two of them interacting with each other and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[This "future" is used very cleverly!]
[Doesn’t the old housekeeper consider Gu Dad the future? The future that will inherit Bai Yueguang’s genes.]
[Steward Ning is a talented person, and he's the one who never shows his emotions.]
[Last night, he watched Old Man Gu die tragically without even a wince. Now, even a nice guy can act harmless. I really suggest that idols in the entertainment industry learn from him. This is what acting is all about!]
What does it mean to be a person who hides his true potential? He doesn't show his emotions, but he lets others know what's on his mind. Look at Butler Ning now. Who would have thought he was such a sinister, yandere, slightly perverted person who loves blood and gore, and also likes Lawyer Wang?
"Puff--" Mrs. Gu couldn't control the second sip of tea she drank and sprayed it out, splashing all over the coffee table and almost spraying on the housekeeper Ning opposite.
Father Gu also tilted his body and almost fell off the sofa.
Even a calm and composed housekeeper like Ning couldn't keep up with the pace and was stunned for a few seconds.
"Sorry..." Mother Gu quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Butler Ning, "Did it spray on you? Wipe it off quickly."
"You should change your clothes, Aunt Liu!"
Mother Gu called the servant and asked her to get a new set of clothes.
Butler Ning quickly said no, "No water splashed, it's okay, Madam, you're welcome."
"It's all my fault, I..." Mother Gu really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She considered herself well-mannered and had never done anything so embarrassing before, and she couldn't find a reasonable explanation for a moment.
But Gu Ran was unforgiving in his heart.
[What's wrong with Aunt Gu? Why did she choke on water again? She almost choked on her tea just now.]
[Could it be…]
Both Gu's father and mother were nervous and felt very guilty, and they didn't dare to look at Gu Ran.
Did Gu Ran discover something?
Father Gu frantically tried to make amends, saying, "I guess it's because he's getting old. He's been choking easily when drinking water lately. I'm also worried..."
Gu Ran: [Could it be because Aunt Gu is old? She chokes easily when drinking water, which seems to be a sign of Alzheimer's. This is a big deal.]
Gu Ran: [No, I need to ask Mama Gu to find time to go to the hospital. We can’t take this lightly.]
"I'm also worried about her Alzheimer's..." Father Gu accidentally followed Gu Ran's thoughts and blurted out.
“…” Butler Ning showed a shocked expression.
Mother Gu's expression twitched, and she almost crushed the jade bracelet on her wrist. She glared at Father Gu fiercely.
You have Alzheimer's!
Gu Ran: [Hey, Dad Gu actually knows this medical knowledge too. It seems those marketing accounts aren't just talking nonsense; they must have a solid scientific basis.]
Gu Ran: [I must find a way to persuade Gu's mother to go to the hospital to be sure.]
For a moment, Mother Gu didn't know whether to be touched or continue to be angry.
Father Gu was complaining in his heart. Now that things had come to this, he could only take the blame, he said with a bitter face.
"I heard someone say that choking on water can easily lead to Alzheimer's disease. I must take Qian to the hospital someday. Excuse me, excuse me."
"Your health is important." Butler Ning restrained his expression and said seriously.
But he still felt a little strange, especially after seeing Mother Gu secretly pinch Father Gu.
Gu Ran was quite happy, and his heart was filled with joy.
[That's right, it saves me from having to make excuses at night.]
[Let’s just say that this issue of Gu Ma really can’t be taken lightly.]
Thank you, you are such a nice person!
Mother Gu laughed with gritted teeth and really wanted to say this to Gu Ran.
