Chapter 29 Getting Heated
In the quiet office, only Chen Wanrou's voice complaining about Gu Jue could be heard.
It turned out that Chen Wanrou received a call from Gu Jue early in the morning, not for any other reason than Su Ruanruan. Su Ruanruan had offended a rich woman while working, but she was very principled and did not ask Gu Jue for help. However, Gu Jue still found out about it.
Not long ago, Su Ruanruan and Gu Jue's meeting ended unhappily. Su Ruanruan said many unpleasant things and told Gu Jue to stop bothering her. Gu Jue was, after all, a rich young master who was used to being willful and willful, and of course he had a temper.
She's just a woman he signed a contract with and made a few deals with. Did he really think he was going to grovel before her?
He had made some harsh remarks, but when he learned that Su Ruanruan was in trouble, Gu Jue couldn't help but want to help her.
Gu Jue had recently said that he would be a dog if he ever contacted her again, so he couldn't bring himself to appear in front of Su Ruanruan and had no choice but to ask Chen Wanrou for help.
How could Chen Wanrou possibly be willing to stand up for Su Ruanruan?
However, she quickly came up with a good idea: she would resolve the trouble for Su Ruanruan, and Gu Jue would obediently follow her to see Chu Xiang and get along well with her.
So Gu Jue is now sitting on the sofa with a sour face, listening to his mother's nagging.
After Chen Wanrou finished reciting, she looked at Chu Xiang with a smile, "Xiangxiang, Gu Jue heard that you were here, so he insisted on coming with me to find you."
Gu Jue wanted to retort, but when Chen Wanrou looked over with a smile, he could only shut his mouth, after all, he needed her help now.
Chu Xiang was drinking porridge when she heard this. She looked up, her expression blank and innocent. "Auntie, you've misunderstood. I'm at school every day, and I haven't seen Gu Jue come to see me. He must be missing Brother Gu to come to the company now."
Gu Heng sat behind his desk, silently signing a document with his pen. He didn't stop writing even when he heard Chu Xiang's voice, showing complete indifference to what was happening around him.
Gu Jue seemed unable to learn Gu Heng's composure.
Gu Jue spoke up with dissatisfaction: "Big brother, my mother and I have been sitting here for so long. It's fine if you don't want to talk to me, but you should at least talk to my mother."
Chen Wanrou secretly pinched Gu Jue's waist, signaling him not to talk too much. To be honest, she was also a little afraid of this eldest son. Gu Heng's domineering behavior was exactly what his grandfather had done. Just last time, when Chen Wanrou pretended to be sick to go see Chu Xiang, Gu Heng actually sent her to the hospital to "stay" for several days.
Thinking back to that period when she had to be dragged to get checkups every day and take some kind of health-boosting medicine, Chen Wanrou felt it was really too painful.
Gu Heng put down his pen, raised his eyes, and asked calmly, "When are you leaving?"
Gu Jue wanted to say something, but Chen Wanrou pulled his hand forcefully, silencing him. She looked at her eldest son with affection and smiled, "Aheng, we rarely come to the company to see you. We know you're busy with work, and we didn't mean to bother you. But look at your younger brother, he'll be graduating in two years. Let him get familiar with the company now so he can help you with your work after graduation."
After speaking, Chen Wanrou stared at the chapped lip of Gu Heng and asked, "Aheng, what happened to your lip?"
Gu Heng said in a calm tone, "I've been feeling a bit feverish lately."
Chu Xiang remained calm. She finished a bowl of porridge, ate a fried dumpling, and then mumbled, "Auntie, Gu Jue wants to build his own company and become a big boss. He has no intention of working as an assistant to Brother Gu."
Chen Wanrou: "Xiangxiang, did you really believe Gu Jue's words that he wanted to start from scratch? He's just playing around with kids. He's playing for two years now, but he'll definitely have to come and help out in the family company later."
Gu Jue couldn't hold back any longer. He looked displeased and said, "Mom, I told you I would build my own career. My older brother is enough in the company. There's no need for me to get involved."
Chen Wanrou disagreed, saying, "Brothers working together can overcome any obstacle. Your older brother has been working so hard for so many years. It's one thing that you're young, but now you're twenty years old. It's time to learn to shoulder your responsibilities. Do you really want to dump such a heavy burden on your brother?"
In Chen Wanrou's eyes, Gu Jue was just an immature child. Gu Jue always disliked this. He was an adult and of course had his own ideas.
Gu Jue said again, somewhat annoyed, "I've said it many times already, I'm not thinking about playing around. Everything I do now is serious!"
Seeing that Gu Jue's stubbornness was about to flare up again, Chen Wanrou looked to Gu Heng for help, "Aheng, look how immature he is now, why don't you talk to him nicely!"
This has been the case since they were little. Chen Wanrou was in charge of spoiling Gu Jue. When she couldn't control Gu Jue, she would call out Gu Heng's name.
Gu Jue looked at Gu Heng nervously, instinctively feeling that his older brother would also oppose what he wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, Gu Heng first took out a tissue and handed it to the girl to wipe her mouth, then casually said, "When I was Gu Jue's age, I had already started my first company with my classmates."
The game company called "Black and White City" was not large in its early stages, but it is now a leader in the industry.
Chu Xiang wiped her mouth with a tissue, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "I believe in Gu Jue's abilities!"
Gu Heng's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
Chu Xiang added, "After all, Brother Gu is so capable, and Gu Jue is his younger brother, so he must be very capable as well."
Gu Heng withdrew his gaze and turned another page of the document in his hand.
Gu Jue's gaze fell on Chu Xiang, his expression somewhat strange. He seemed to still hear Chu Xiang's words of trust in him echoing in his ears from when they were at the Gu family home. From childhood to adulthood, people had always liked to compare him to his older brother.
Compared to his perfect older brother, Gu Jue seemed destined to be nothing more than an idle and good-for-nothing playboy. Although his mother doted on him, she never believed that he could actually achieve anything.
He never imagined that Chu Xiang would be the first person to believe in him so steadfastly.
Chen Wanrou thought that Chu Xiang's blind trust in Gu Jue was definitely a good thing. If Chu Xiang had any brains, Chen Wanrou would be worried that her son would suffer.
Chen Wanrou laughed, "Xiangxiang, you're oversimplifying things. Gu Jue has never been involved in business before. He'll need to learn from Aheng for a few years before he can develop any skills."
Gu Jue hated nothing more than people using Gu Heng to put him down. He stood up irritably, "I admit that my older brother is very outstanding, but I'm not as bad as you think. I can make my own decisions, and I don't need you to worry about me!"
