Chapter 122 Meeting the Parents
Gu Family Old House
Gu Huojun leaned on a sandalwood cane.
Standing motionless at the entrance to the courtyard, like a serene sculpture.
The old lady wore a dark red Chinese-style top with a floral pattern today.
Her hair was combed meticulously.
Every few moments he would look out the door, his fingers gently stroking the dragon head of his cane.
Today is the day that guy brings his daughter-in-law home for dinner.
Although his 70th birthday was postponed.
But being able to see the daughter-in-law he's been longing for makes it all worthwhile.
He knew in his heart that his son cared about his thoughts.
He was afraid he wouldn't like his wife.
Gu Huojun suddenly coughed a few times in a low voice.
I don't know if it's because the autumn wind is too cold, or because of the indescribable emotions in my heart.
In fact, he had already guessed a bit about his daughter-in-law's identity.
His youngest son has always been a person with his own opinions.
They are prudent and meticulous in their work, and never do anything they are not confident about.
From the moment Gu Jingcheng and Lin Wei were photographed by the media going to a concert together.
His heart skipped a beat, realizing his son's feelings for Lin Wei.
How could he not know who Lin Wei is?
That was someone who almost became his granddaughter-in-law.
In the past, Gu Xuan would occasionally bring Lin Wei back to family dinners.
His impression of this little girl was limited to her being a well-behaved girl.
Yet she always followed closely behind Gu Xuan.
At that time, Lin Wei seemed to have only Gu Xuan in her eyes and heart.
This is exactly what young people call "love-obsessed".
He has always valued ability and decisiveness, and he would be drawn to a woman like that.
He didn't show it on his face, but he secretly looked down on it.
But now that I think about it, she was just a young girl longing for love.
Gu Huojun's gaze deepened.
After it was revealed that her son had gone to the concert with her,
He specifically asked someone to check it out.
This young woman single-handedly bailed out the crumbling Lin Group at a very young age.
Not only did she stabilize the situation, she also suppressed her husband's menacing uncle.
And she got her father out of jail twice.
This decisiveness and skill are exactly like those of his youngest son, who is also ruthless in the business world.
The two were surprisingly well-matched.
He's figured it out these days.
The Gu family's business is vast, and they need a capable daughter-in-law to fight alongside Gu Jingcheng.
He was also aware of the Lin family's situation; besides Lin Wei, they only had their youngest son, who was still studying abroad.
The entire burden of the family rests on the shoulders of this young woman.
If she marries into the Gu family in the future, with her abilities and experience,
They will definitely become Gu Jingcheng's capable right-hand men.
Thinking of this, a hint of relief flashed in Gu Huojun's eyes.
The pressure on his cane unconsciously loosened.
Suddenly I remembered something.
"housekeeper,"
"Let the kitchen add another dish of fermented rice balls; young people like sweet things."
"I have already given the order, sir."
Gu Huojun nodded, then seemed to remember something.
"Have you swept up the fallen leaves under the ginkgo tree? Although there should be fallen leaves in autumn, it shouldn't be too messy."
"They swept all the way to the tree roots, and the pile was quite artistic."
"That kid's room..."
"I've checked it three times already; the new silk quilt has already been sun-dried."
Set the water heater to the most suitable temperature.
Even the slippers were bought according to your instructions, the kind of style young people like.
"Don't worry."
Gu Huojun nodded slightly, then looked towards the door.
A gust of autumn wind swept by, and the leaves of the ginkgo tree by the door rustled.
A few yellow leaves twirled and fell.
He gazed at the swaying shadows of the trees and murmured softly.
"Old woman, our son has finally gotten married..."
If only you could see this.
The faint hum of a car engine could be heard in the distance.
A black Rolls-Royce slowly drove in.
Lin Wei unconsciously clenched her fists.
Through the car window, she saw the magnificent old house.
In her previous life, she had only seen Gu Huojun a few times from afar.
That domineering patriarch who has the final say in the business world.
Now that she had to face him as his daughter-in-law, her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid."
Gu Jingcheng's palm covered her slightly cold hand.
"My father appears stern, but he's actually very soft-hearted. Besides,"
Gu Jingcheng turned his head and smiled at her.
"I'll take care of everything."
Lin Wei gazed into the man's deep eyes and felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
Having been given a second chance at life, she truly found genuine love.
They have been given a chance to start over.
Lin Wei gently squeezed his hand back, revealing a reassuring smile.
As the car slowly approached, Gu Huojun narrowed his eyes.
I saw a young woman in a warm white cheongsam in the passenger seat.
Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, and her profile was soft.
The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
He subconsciously straightened his back and adjusted his clothes.
As expected, his daughter-in-law was Lin Wei.
This guy finally didn't disappoint; he found such a dignified and elegant girl.
The wheels rolled over the fallen leaves and came to a steady stop under the ginkgo tree.
Gu Huojun gave a kind smile.
-
Zhao Qiluo watched as Gu Xuan, that good-for-nothing, didn't return for two days.
I couldn't sit still any longer.
Originally, I was thinking of taking him to Gu Huojun to plead for mercy.
Gu Huojun took it upon himself to do so because Gu Xuan was Gu Yannian's only bloodline.
They will definitely stop Gu Jingcheng's actions within the Gu Group.
It seems that she will have to go alone now.
Time waits for no one.
Who knows when Gu Jingcheng will kick her out of the Gu Group?
She must seize the initiative.
Thinking this through, Zhao Qiluo steeled her heart.
Instruct the driver.
"To the old house! Quickly!"
The black sedan drove towards the Gu family's old house.
Zhao Qiluo sat in the back seat, her fingers clutching an expensive handbag.
She had witnessed Gu Jingcheng's methods before.
Swift and decisive, showing no mercy.
Once he completely controls the group, she will truly have nothing left.
The car quickly entered the familiar mountain road.
The magnificent gatehouse of the old house was right in front of me.
From afar, Zhao Qiluo saw the familiar black Rolls-Royce parked in the front yard.
Zhao Qiluo's heart sank at first.
A surge of excitement immediately welled up inside me.
Gu Jingcheng is here too, perfect!
This will save her from having to go through any more trouble.
This is a perfect opportunity to have a good cry in front of the old man.
How did Gu Jingcheng treat her at the company yesterday?
They colluded with outsiders to bully them, a widow and her children.
She refused to believe that old geezer could just stand by and watch his youngest son die.
Such suppression of the elder brother's widow and only bloodline.
The Gu Group was originally founded by Gu Yannian.
As her legal wife, it is only natural that she has the right to inherit.
Who gave Gu Jingcheng the right to point fingers and even try to convene shareholders to remove her from office?
Zhao Qiluo grew angrier the more she thought about it, with both old and new grudges surging into her heart.
The car had barely come to a stop when, she disregarded any semblance of a refined lady's demeanor...
He rushed towards the gate with quick steps.
The housekeeper was standing guard at the door when he saw her rushing in.
A hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his respect.
I thought it was the old man who had called us back for a family dinner.
"Madam, you're back. Master and Young Master Jingcheng are inside..."
Zhao Qiluo had no patience to listen to him finish.
"I know!"
As he spoke, he pushed open the half-closed door and barged inside.
