Gu Hanxing glanced at Mr. Gu and said, "Yes."
"You asked me to help Song Qingyu," Old Man Gu finally slowly opened his eyes, "help her contact the people at the court to clarify the false information on the Internet. Now it seems that she has no idea that you came to ask me for help."
Gu Hanxing narrowed his eyes and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask you for help. It has nothing to do with her."
Old Master Gu stared at Gu Hanxing without blinking. Although his eyes were old, they were terrifyingly sharp.
Gu Hanxing met the old man's gaze without any fear.
The old man sneered and said, "It seems that you are really moved this time."
Gu Hanxing sat in a wheelchair, not daring to move.
He couldn't guess what Mr. Gu was thinking.
At first, his parents...
"Don't be nervous..." Old Master Gu, who could tell what his grandson was thinking at a glance, said with a smile, "I'm not Lu Yanzhi's grandmother. Besides, after what happened with your parents, I've figured it out. A forced melon won't be sweet. I understand your personality.
If I asked you to marry a girl you don't like, you would definitely not agree.
You are my only grandson now, and I don’t want to become enemies with you, leaving no one to visit my grave even after a hundred years.”
Gu Hanxing: "..."
Although Mr. Gu's words were meant as a joke, they were indeed true.
After Gu Hanxing's parents left Gu's, they never came back.
As for his two older brothers, after their grandfather agreed to let his parents be together, they became much more distant from the old man and would only come to see him during the holidays.
"Also, after spending a short time together tonight, I feel that Qingyu is a really good kid, so even if you don't say it, I will help her."
At this point, a look of sympathy appeared on the old man's face.
"This child has suffered so much. As soon as her father left, her biological mother became her stepmother. Later, she encountered so many terrible things. She has been able to persevere until now and not be defeated. It shows how strong her mind is. Alas, it's a pity..."
The old man glanced at Gu Hanxing, sighed softly, but did not continue.
Although Gu Hanxing was curious, he did not respond.
After holding on for a few seconds, the old man finally gave in and said, "Qingyu's father helped me back then. I originally wanted you and Qingyu to get engaged, but for some reason, her father left a will before he died, telling me to give the engagement to... what was his wife's second daughter's name?"
Gu Hanxing's heart trembled: "Xu Jiaojiao?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I have seen that girl. Although she was only a few years old at the time, she looked older than me. I didn't like her at all. But I had already promised Song Xiu, so I had no choice but to agree."
Gu Hanxing's eyes suddenly became deep.
The old man mentioned this before.
But he didn't take it to heart.
now……
"I know what you're thinking," the old man sighed and said, "I also suspected that there was something wrong with the will, so I specially found a professional to verify it. As you know, the result is indeed Song Xiu's last words."
"But as far as I know, Qingyu's father passed away in a hurry and only hurriedly told her about the antiques. How could he have left behind any last words?"
"It's not quite right to call it a will. To be more precise, it's a suicide note." The old man seemed to have thought of something. He stood up and walked to the safe. After searching inside for a long time, he finally found a piece of A4 paper. He handed the slightly yellowed paper to Gu Hanxing. "This is what Song Xiu's lawyer gave me before he died. It seems like he had a premonition of his own death and planned all this in advance."
Gu Hanxing held the paper, his fingers trembling slightly.
...So, if it weren't for this piece of paper, he and Song Qingyu... might have been together a long time ago.
Song Xiu...why do you do this?
Is he not satisfied with this marriage?
But at that time... he hadn't had a car accident yet, and was the third young master of the Gu family that everyone envied.
Even if Song Xiu is not satisfied with this marriage, he can ask his grandfather for other compensation.
Why bother making wedding dresses for Xu Jiaojiao?
Gu Hanxing's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.
Looking at his grandson like this, Old Master Gu chuckled softly, "Sure enough, the only thing in this world that can make you so worried is Qing Yu."
Gu Hanxing raised his eyes and glanced at Old Man Gu hesitantly, wanting to say something.
The old man said with a smile, "Isn't it? You don't even care about your own affairs that much. Ask yourself, how long has it been since you took away your two brothers' business?"
Gu Hanxing's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the old man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain to me. There is no father and son relationship on the battlefield. Besides, after your car accident that year, the ones who benefited the most were your two brothers.
Although you haven't found any evidence over the years, I'm afraid you've already locked them as the suspects in your mind.
Grandpa doesn't care how you fight, but after all, we are family. If one day your two brothers fall into your hands, Grandpa only asks you for one thing.
"grandfather……"
"Leave them a breath."
The old man said, closing his eyes, "I'm tired, you can go."
Gu Hanxing looked at the old man's tired face reflected in the light, feeling very uncomfortable: "Yes, Grandpa."
After saying that, he turned and left.
However, just as he reached the door, he heard the old man's voice floating from the house: "Are you sure you don't want to tell Qingyu everything you did for her?"
Gu Hanxing gripped the wheelchair armrest tightly: "No need."
"If you don't tell her, she'll never know how much you've done for her. If she doesn't know, how can she accept your feelings?"
Gu Hanxing's expression tightened, but he quickly said firmly, "She doesn't need to know."
"Really?" The old man smiled gently.
"Well, I don't want these things to affect her judgment." Gu Hanxing looked at the bright moon outside the window, exhaled slowly, and said word by word, "I hope she is with me because she loves me, not because I did something for her."
The old man raised his eyelids and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go now."
The rumbling sound of the wheelchair soon disappeared in the silent night sky.
The old man closed his eyes and showed no intention of moving.
Butler Gu tiptoed to the old man's side.
After a few minutes, the old man finally spoke softly: "Do you have something to ask me?"
Butler Gu was shocked and looked at the old man with his eyes closed, with admiration welling up in his heart.
"Master, you are as perceptive as a savior."
"Stop flattering me," the old man said with a smile. "Tell me, what's the problem?"
Butler Gu lowered his head and said, "Master, just now, you asked the Third Young Master to let the other two young masters go. How did you know that among the three of them, the one who would win in the end would definitely be the Third Young Master?"
The old man smiled mysteriously: "Because he who neglects his wife will never gain anything, while he who loves his wife will prosper."
Butler Gu: “…”
