Chapter 123 Shut up
Looking at Grandpa Gu's flustered appearance, Gu Yanxiao asked calmly, "Grandpa, do you think someone is spreading rumors and sowing discord around me? So you mean you don't intend to let me leave the special forces?"
"..." Old Master Gu was even more annoyed.
But at that moment, he couldn't utter a single word.
After all, he specifically asked Gu Jianjun to bring Gu Yanxiao back today because he wanted him to leave the special forces.
You know, over the years, that guy Old Huo has always been openly and secretly fighting with him in the army.
Over the years, if it weren't for Gu Yanxiao's hard work, how could he have repeatedly outmaneuvered Old Huo?
That's why he was so furious when he heard that Gu Yanxiao had joined Old Huo's special forces team.
“Yan Xiao, as you know, Old Huo and Grandpa have never gotten along. If you join his special forces, it will put Grandpa in a difficult position.”
After a long silence, Old Master Gu finally found the right words and began to speak.
“Grandpa, if I haven’t forgotten, Grandpa Huo and you were comrades-in-arms who went through thick and thin together for many years. In fact, once, when you were wounded on the battlefield, it was Grandpa Huo who carried you back from the battlefield amidst a hail of bullets.” Gu Yanxiao spoke without any mercy, recounting the old story.
When Grandpa Gu heard him say that, his eyes glazed over. Yes, back then, they were comrades who could entrust their backs to each other.
When did we end up standing on opposite sides?
"Grandpa, do you remember when you and Grandpa Huo became like this?" Gu Yanxiao asked, voicing his true feelings.
"What do you want to say?" Old Master Gu's face darkened, clearly indicating that he didn't want to discuss this issue with him.
"From the moment you gradually became selfish, cold, stubborn, and autocratic... not only Grandpa Huo, but also Grandpa Feng, Grandpa Song, and the others gradually drifted further and further away from you..."
Gu Yanxiao, however, was completely unaffected by him and continued to say what she wanted to say.
"shut up!"
Grandpa Gu slammed his hand on the table in front of him, his expression terrifyingly ferocious.
Gu Yanxiao didn't even raise an eyebrow, continuing, "But none of this has changed you in the slightest; on the contrary, it has only made you worse. I originally thought you were just stubborn, but I didn't expect that just a few days ago, after I was injured, you claimed it was for the Gu family and directly announced that you were severing ties with our family. My parents accepted that, and as their child, I naturally couldn't say much. But now, what makes you think that with just a word from you, I have to obediently come back and continue with what you call the Gu family, the so-called big picture, and continue to sacrifice my own interests?"
"Shut up! I told you to shut up!" Old Master Gu roared angrily, grabbing the teacup in front of him and smashing it heavily on the ground.
Upon hearing the commotion inside, Gu Jianjun, who was guarding outside the door, rushed in, his face filled with panic, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Upon seeing the shattered teacup on the ground, a flash of wild joy crossed his eyes, followed by a change in expression. He looked at Gu Yanxiao with a look of utter disappointment and said, "Yanxiao, what's wrong with you? How come you've only just returned and you've already angered your grandfather? You're so inconsiderate! How did you become like this after only a few months in the countryside? Hurry up and apologize to your grandfather!"
"That wretched thing, he's clearly trying to drive this old man crazy." Old Master Gu also reached out and covered his chest, as if he was about to run out of breath at any moment.
Gu Jianjun quickly supported him: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Yan Xiao, why don't you apologize to your grandfather? Or are you really planning to anger your grandfather to death as soon as you get back?"
"Don't worry about him. He's all grown up now, and he's got his own wings. I can't control him anymore!" Old Master Gu said with his eyes closed, looking like he wouldn't even look at Gu Yanxiao unless Gu Yanxiao apologized.
Gu Yanxiao looked at Old Master Gu, who seemed to have suffered a great blow and was heartbroken.
In the past, even if Old Master Gu showed the slightest sign of anger or sadness, he would immediately reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
Then I continued to put pressure on myself, worked hard, and strived to achieve more impressive results so that Grandpa Gu could be proud of me.
But now, he looked at Old Master Gu clutching his chest, looking pained, but his expression remained unchanged. If he listened carefully, he would find that Old Master Gu's breathing was not even disordered.
So, was Grandpa Gu like this before, taking advantage of his filial piety and how much he cared about him as his grandfather?
They always used this point to blackmail him, forcing him to back down for the sake of his grandfather and the entire Gu family.
Suddenly, Gu Yanxiao felt a sense of sorrow spreading through his heart.
So, how foolish I was back then!
Blinded by the leaf of kinship, one cannot see clearly how the elders one respects most are controlling one's own mind.
Having thought everything through, he looked at Old Master Gu and took out a document from his briefcase.
He placed the document in front of Old Master Gu and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to say anything more. If you're not dead yet and still want me to come back, then read these documents first before considering anything else!"
When he heard this, Old Master Gu finally opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes staring intently at Gu Yanxiao.
Before he could say anything, he saw Gu Yanxiao turn around and walk outside.
Seeing this, Old Master Gu paused for a moment, then reached out and picked up the documents on the table.
Seeing this, Gu Jianjun felt a strange unease and quickly said, "Dad, you didn't take a nap today, you must be tired. Why don't you go and take a nap first, then come back..."
After the old man went to sleep, he first took a look at the documents inside to see what they were.
If it's something that's detrimental to him, then he should find a way to replace it.
Hearing him say that, Old Master Gu also clearly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
He nodded and got up to walk into the room.
Gu Jianjun hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man into the bedroom, and helped him to sleep before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
After confirming that Old Master Gu had fallen asleep, Gu Jianjun picked up the documents on the table and began to examine them.
His expression changed immediately upon seeing the contents of the document.
Inside were the confessions of Lai Tou and Gou Sheng, as well as Zhu Cuihua's confession that instructed Director Ma to go find Su Xiangwan.
If Grandpa Gu sees these things, the couple will be in big trouble!
