Chapter 207 Gu Zhiyu's Background

Annan was stunned and turned to look at Gu Zhiyu who was holding meat wrapped in perilla leaves.

Gu Zhiyu seemed not to have heard the little girl's words, and was still busy with his own work. After wrapping the meat, he slowly put it in Annan's bowl.

Chu Peipei was a little embarrassed.

The child is young and ignorant, but she, as an adult, understands. He is the president of a large group, not a nursery teacher.

If it weren't for Nan Nan, they wouldn't have had the chance to sit down and eat together. It's ok for Mr. Gu to condescend to have a barbecue there, but how could he possibly take care of the children?

But Chu Xiaoguai was timid by nature, and she finally relaxed a little, so she didn't have the heart to blame him.

So he avoided the main point and said, "Silly child, you are calling him an inferior. He is your aunt's boyfriend. You should call him uncle-in-law."

The little girl tilted her head and blinked: "Xiaofu?"

Gu Zhiyu glanced at her.

Chu Peipei corrected herself and said, "It's not my husband, it's my uncle-in-law."

After thinking about it, he felt that this title might be a little difficult to pronounce, so he said, "Or you can just call me uncle."

Chu Xiaoguai pointed at Gu Zhiyu and pouted, "But that's a brother."

Chu Peipei choked and didn't know how to explain it to her.

Hu Cuilan continued, "Children don't understand the distinction between generations. They think Xiao Gu is their older brother because he is young and handsome."

Annan also smiled and said, "The child can call me whatever he wants. It's best if he calls me sister. Calling me auntie sounds so old."

Chu Peipei frowned: "That's ridiculous! You still call me sister."

Annan: "I am her sister, you are my sister, we should discuss our own affairs."

While the adults were talking, Chu Xiaoguai's eyes were still fixed on Gu Zhiyu.

"Mom, can I sit next to that brother?"

Several people fell silent.

Chu Peipei frowned and said in a more serious tone: "You are sitting here well, why do you want to change seats?"

The girl may have never seen her so serious, so she shrank her neck, a little scared.

Seeing the child pouting and about to cry, Annan said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where you sit. Let Xiaoguai sit next to me."

Just as she was about to get up and change seats with the child, Gu Zhiyu reached out his chopsticks, picked up two slices of meat and put them in the bowl in front of her.

When Chu Peipei saw this, she had no choice but to understand.

He quickly stopped Annan: "Nannan, no need to change."

Annan turned his head to look at Gu Zhiyu, then sat back silently.

Then he joked, "This child is as rich as our family. He can't take his eyes off handsome guys."

Chu Peipei and Zhao Ping'an immediately recalled the first time they saw Gu Zhiyu, when Fugui ran onto someone else's boat, and they both laughed.

Gu Zhiyu also looked at Gou Zi with a smile.

When Fugui heard his name, he leaned forward again.

However, this time it did not stick to Gu Zhiyu or Annan, but kept staring at Xiaoguai who was sitting next to Chu Peipei.

Annan noticed its abnormality, touched its head soothingly, and also looked at the little girl carefully.

Then I suddenly realized that the child's eyes seemed different from the dog's.

Although children and animals are all appearance-oriented, the look in a dog's eyes is very straightforward and infatuated.

Looking at the child again, although he also looked straight, his eyes were not that direct. Annan took a few glances but could not make out any specific content.

She originally wanted to persuade Gu Zhiyu, who had been silent all this time, to pay attention to the child, but for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to say anything.

Zhao Pingan livened up the atmosphere: "I'm sad! We're both handsome brothers, why doesn't Xiaoguai come play with me?"

Hu Cuilan rolled her eyes at him and said, "How dare you say you're handsome when there's a little patron next to you comparing yourself to others?"

An Nan smiled and said, "Don't say that. Zhao Ping'an is also a rare handsome guy."

Gu Zhiyu picked up a piece of spicy squid and gave it to her with chopsticks.

Zhao Pingan glanced at his mother and said, "Look, even my idol admits that I'm handsome."

Hu Cuilan: "That's to give you face."

Annan glanced at the angry Zhao Pingan and said, "You are so handsome. I am not lying."

Gu Zhiyu picked up another piece of spicy squid and gave it to her.

Annan looked at the pile of spicy squid in his bowl and raised his eyebrows at him: "Enough."

Gu Zhiyu then stopped and said, "Eat more."

The topic of several people went further and further away. The little girl stopped talking and did not go to play with Fugui, Laifu and the others. She just sat obediently on the chair.

She showed a look of surprise towards the three little ones only when she first entered the room. After that, she seemed neither interested in nor afraid of them.

Zhao Pingan looked at her and said, "Pepe, Xiaoguai is in a very stable mood."

Chu Peipei nodded: "Although this child is a little timid, he is not naughty at all."

Seeing that Gu Zhiyu had not said much, Hu Cuilan asked:

"Xiao Gu, who else is in your family?"

Annan, who was standing next to him, was roasting potatoes while listening attentively.

She was with Gu Zhiyu in a daze and didn't really understand these things. She only knew that when she first took his car, he said that his father died early.

Gu Zhiyu replied: "I don't have many relatives. I grew up in an orphanage."

Several people did not expect this answer.

Zhao Ping'an's eyes widened: "Brother Gu, are you an orphan?"

Gu Zhiyu picked up a piece of mutton leg meat for Annan and said slowly:

"Not really an orphan. My mother was still alive but had disappeared, and my father died in a car accident when I was seven. I was then sent to an orphanage."

Annan thought he had always been a high-spirited young man from a wealthy family, but he never expected that his life was so rough.

So he put his hand on Gu Zhiyu's leg and patted it gently.

Gu Zhiyu held her hand back with his left hand: "It was all a long time ago."

Chu Peipei sighed, "So you founded Gu's from scratch?"

Such a big group, built from scratch? He is only in his thirties now!

Gu Zhiyu shook his head: "No. Gu's is my grandfather's business."

Zhao Pingan was surprised: "You have a grandfather? Then why did you end up in an orphanage?"

Gu Zhiyu: "My father was kidnapped when he was a child. When my grandfather found me, I was already seventeen years old."

Annan hesitated: "Then your grandfather..."

Gu Zhiyu pursed his lips and said, "He passed away in the third year after I came back."

Annan looked at Gu Zhiyu and felt a little distressed.

He lost his parents at the age of seven and grew up alone in an orphanage. He finally returned to his grandfather and enjoyed family love for only three years before he was alone again.

He was only 20 years old when his grandfather passed away, so it must have been difficult for him to take over the Gu family business.

But he managed the group so well.

Annan couldn't help but stare at him in a trance.

The more I get to know this man, the more I realize that he has countless good qualities.
