The thought that his relationship with his grandson had reached a certain level made Old Master Gu feel uneasy.
Beside him, Grandma Gu noticed his unusual behavior and quietly patted him on the back, as if trying to comfort him.
Grandpa Gu immediately understood what Grandma Gu meant.
He sighed inwardly again. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. He was already close to his grave, so he shouldn't worry about what would happen to them afterward.
The main problem is that Grandpa Gu really wants to take care of things, but he's powerless to do so.
Especially his descendants, each of them has an inflated sense of self-importance...
"...In that case, your grandmother and I will go there tomorrow. As for the others, we don't care. We've already separated from them."
Grandpa Gu didn't want to say these things, but seeing Gu Zixiao's appearance...
Grandpa Gu felt that some things needed to be said.
Gu Zixiao nodded: "I understand."
Although Gu Zixiao didn't often visit the Gu family, he had heard about it from others.
After Gu Zixiao finished speaking, she looked at the rest of the Gu family: "I'm getting married tomorrow, Uncle, Dad, don't forget to attend."
As luck would have it, Gu Zixiao's father was home today as well.
When Gu's father saw Gu Zixiao, who was even more handsome and had a better complexion than before, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He nodded, saying indifferently, "We understand. We'll go if we have time."
Gu Zixiao secretly pursed her lips. If she was going, she was going; if she wasn't going, she wasn't going. It was her own son's wedding, and she was acting all high and mighty.
Gu Zixiao didn't care what her father was thinking; he had already done all the proper etiquette.
If his father and his family don't attend their son's wedding, they shouldn't blame him for any gossip that follows.
"Gu Zixiao, isn't this invitation a bit insincere? Why are you only telling us now that you're getting married so soon?"
Those who know you might assume you're busy preparing for the wedding yourself, being considerate of your family, and don't want them to help.
Anyone who didn't know better would think you did it on purpose.
As soon as those sarcastic words came out, Gu Zixiao knew who it was; he knew immediately it was his aunt.
His aunt, ever since he came back from outside, probably after discovering that he was better than her son, has been making sarcastic remarks about him all the time.
Because she discovered that no matter how much she tried to sarcastic or malicious towards Gu Zixiao, Gu Zixiao's parents would not come looking for trouble with her.
This makes it quite certain that Gu Zixiao is a pitiful child who has parents but no one loves her.
If that's the case, then can't we just bully them all we want?
Anyway, nobody cares.
Gu Zixiao didn't even bother to pay attention to this aunt. She just glanced at her indifferently and said with a half-smile, "What does it have to do with you whether I did it on purpose or not? You should use this time to manage your son."
I heard he's been causing trouble again lately, relying on the Gu family's influence. I wonder how long the Gu family can protect him.
The old man will be retiring soon, won't he?
After saying this, Gu Zixiao didn't care what others thought.
Anyway, after he finished speaking, he left with his brothers.
However, his words caused the neighbors living around the Gu family to exchange glances, and then they left as if they had agreed to do so.
The rest of the Gu family, except for Old Master Gu, all changed their expressions.
After Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu closed the door, Uncle Gu immediately looked at Grandpa Gu and asked anxiously, "Dad, what did Gu Zixiao mean by what she just said?"
Previously, Uncle Gu had always known that his father was getting old and might have to retire.
But wasn't he still in power back then?
Uncle Gu also felt that since there was still time, he could slowly wait it out. He believed that with his abilities, he would naturally be able to rise to the top after his father retired in ten years or so.
But what's going on now?
Grandpa Gu glanced at his silly son with a nonchalant expression: "...Didn't you always know this? Why are you only realizing it now?"
Uncle Gu: "...I knew, I knew. But I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Grandpa Gu: "You think it's fast? How much longer do you need? You're already over fifty."
How many chances have I given you before? From your twenties to your fifties, I've given you over thirty years of opportunities.
And what happened? You kept telling me, "You can do it, you're fine, you'll definitely succeed."
At this point, Old Master Gu suddenly couldn't continue.
He had always known that his sons were no good.
However, he was young and strong at the time, and felt that his sons were still young and had plenty of time to develop.
As a result, his second and third generations were not successful.
Except for Gu Zixiao.
As a result, these idiots ruined their own future and became very distant from Gu Zixiao.
So, all I can say is that they deserved it.
Hearing his own father's words, Uncle Gu was completely distraught.
"I……"
Uncle Gu tried to explain, but Old Master Gu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and simply waved his hand: "You two should handle your own affairs. Your father is old and can't control you anymore. Since you think you can do it yourself, then you can do what you want. Your father just wants to enjoy his old age with your mother these next few years."
After saying this, Grandpa Gu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.
Grandma Gu was right beside her: "You're right to think that way."
Grandpa Gu: "I can't help but think this way."
Ultimately, it's their parents' fault; they didn't raise their children well.
"Are you going to blame yourself again? Let's just forget about this."
Anyway, Grandma Gu felt she had done nothing wrong. She had done everything a mother could do, so how could she be blamed for what her son looked like afterward?
No wonder.
Grandma Gu immediately and forcefully changed the subject: "I wonder what Gu Zixiao's wife looks like? I think she was brought here before, but those wicked people in the family stopped her, so I didn't get to see her."
Grandma Gu really wanted to meet Gu Zixiao's wife.
Grandpa Gu: "I heard she's quite good-looking. And very capable. Most importantly, it seems she can keep our Zixiao in check."
They knew exactly what kind of person Gu Zixiao was before.
He is very capable, but also very arrogant.
It's precisely because of his character that he's at odds with the Gu family.
Because people who take care of their families also think they are very capable and have an extremely high opinion of themselves.
Ah, looking at it this way, it seems that the Gu family's arrogance is ingrained in their bones.
No wonder it's getting worse and worse.
