Recalling the past, Mr. Gu's vicissitudes of life eyes were full of regret.
Since the beginning of recorded history, the Gu family has had strict family precepts and has not committed any evil deeds. The family property they have obtained has come from clean sources. The majority of the property is antique instruments, calligraphy and paintings from past dynasties, and each piece is a national treasure.
If it was to be confiscated, Mr. Gu would not say a word, but those people destroyed it all without giving any explanation.
The debris all over the ground still makes him unable to let go.
His parents, Gu Zhan and Gu Li's great-grandparents, died early. Young and energetic, he left China with money and studied abroad while trying to revive the family business.
Old Master Gu was full of ambition but no experience, so he was no match for the shrewd Capital. He narrowly escaped death several times, but he managed to make a name for himself by taking steady steps, having a unique vision and great courage.
Good luck will not always favor the same person, and not every misfortune can be turned into good fortune.
He set his sights on the rapidly developing automobile industry in the last century and actually made a huge fortune from it. Most importantly, he obtained the most advanced technology in the industry at that time.
At the same time, he was targeted by many bigwigs.
Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents, and many people regard him as a thorn in their side.
Even the wisest man makes a thousand plans, but he is bound to make mistakes.
He was betrayed by a partner he trusted extremely much, and accidentally exposed his secrets, which led to him being framed and imprisoned. Given the identities of those opponents, once he went in, there was an 80% chance that he would not be able to come out alive.
At the critical moment, a man in white appeared, claiming to be a Taoist monk, and saved him from disaster.
The gentleman looked to be a young man in his twenties, with a typical oriental handsome face. He wore a simple Taoist robe and smiled the whole time, but his aura was extraordinary.
Mr. Gu asked how to repay him.
The man in white shook his head and said, "The time has not come yet. Remember our fate today. When we meet again in the future, I will ask for your reward. It's not much, so just let it go."
After experiencing the disaster, Mr. Gu became more cautious and far-sighted, and his business flourished.
"At that time, I was not married yet, and your father was not even born. I never mentioned it to them later."
Gu Zhan knew that the following content was about him.
Old Master Gu: "The year before you were born, Mr. Gu appeared and took away the most important inheritance of our family. When we met again, Mr. Gu still looked young, without a trace of aging. I am certain that he is no ordinary person here, and he must have supernatural skills."
"As for tokens of trust, one must not go back on one's word. No matter how important something is, once it's been promised, there's no reason to go back on one's word."
Su Lianyi nodded silently. People who practice Taoism value their promises. If the old man goes back on his word, that gentleman might not let it go.
Old Master Gu looked at Gu Zhan and said, "When you were five years old, you suddenly fell seriously ill. Your parents sought help from famous doctors both in China and abroad, but they couldn't even find the cause. Your body became weaker and weaker day by day. Your little face was pale and your body was cold. Even the doctor advised us to prepare for your funeral as soon as possible."
He was in a trance for a moment, as if that incident happened just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, his grandson had grown into a handsome young man.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"That gentleman has appeared again, bringing elixirs to heal your body. He performed a ritual and said he has a marriage contract with the head of a certain Xuanmen immortal family. The immortal family has divine light to protect you, and if you enter into a marriage, you will receive their protection and your life will be safe."
Old Master Gu looked at Su Lianyi guiltily, with a hint of shame on his old face: "I asked the gentleman, and he frankly said that the woman is willing."
"At that time, I realized that the original purpose of Mr. helping me was probably to target Gu Zhan."
Su Lianyi: ...
willing? ? ?
Who was willing to do that for her from afar?
In the state of a cub, he practiced hard but never became an immortal, and fell into the mortal world. He was emo for several years. He sat on the fairy mountain, and his marriage contract came from the sky. There were thousands of tragic situations in the world, but Xiao Su occupied eight buckets alone, and most of them were beautiful deaths.
Mr. White, Mr. Gu, please listen to me and say thank you. Because of you, the four seasons are warm.
What about Mr. White? He only does petty and despicable things and doesn't seem like a good guy. Do you want this blessing?
She and Gu Zhan were both in a daze.
One who doesn't know that he has inexplicably made an engagement.
Someone who has absolutely no memory of childhood.
They did not doubt that Mr. Gu was lying. Many things could be revealed once they were investigated, and it was impossible for a lie to be planned for such a long time.
"So what?" she asked quietly.
Looking at the old man's expression, she felt like she was digging a hole for herself, and her scalp tingled.
"At my age, how could I possibly harbor any ill intentions? Little girl, if you think so, then you're right." Old Master Gu snorted. "While your family knows everything about you two, outsiders don't. Why not hold a grand engagement ceremony and invite all the wealthy and powerful to see the granddaughter-in-law our Gu family has chosen, so as to prevent those with ulterior motives from making unwarranted assumptions."
Mr. Gu felt a little painful when he said this.
It's not like he hadn't questioned Su Lianyi before, but now he's old and has learned his lesson after being slapped in the face a few times.
The most important reason was that he initially did not think that Su Lianyi would be the immortal leader that the gentleman mentioned.
Firstly, because of the promise he made to the immortals, and secondly, he was afraid that if he broke the promise, the immortals would get angry and withdraw their protection for their grandson.
"After all, this is a private matter between you youngsters, so you have to make your own decisions."
"Little girl, I've heard rumors from the outside world. The Su family treats fake goods as their lifeblood and doesn't care about your life or death. Why bother getting involved with them anymore?"
"I know that cultivators regard money as something outside of their bodies. I can't say anything else, but the Gu family's wealth and connections are enough for you to walk sideways and even ride on their faces."
Su Lianyi bit her lips, tears streaming down her lips.
"Old man, I feel your kindness, but I am not a crab and I have to walk sideways."
"I don't want to ride on the Su family's face, it's so dirty."
"Ripple." Gu Zhan called softly.
Su Lianyi looked up in confusion and was stunned for a moment. In her eyes, Gu Zhan was basically calm and rarely showed such a nervous expression.
There was a hint of shyness amidst the nervousness.
The look of him being afraid that she would reject him was endearing and a little cute.
She didn't know what the purpose of the white-robed monk mentioned by Old Master Gu was, but she knew that Gu Zhan was sincere, and she was willing, so there was no reason to refuse.
She raised her hand high. "Actually, what I mean is that some practitioners are very vulgar, very vulgar. They like yellow and white things, the more the better. After all, the most vulgar is the most elegant."
"When will it be done? I can't wait to call you grandpa. When I was a kid watching Calabash Brothers, I could call you grandpa in seven different ways. Please give me a chance to show you."
So, please kill her with vulgar things.
Gu Zhan smiled, his face as rosy as a peach.
Old Master Gu was speechless, then he smiled and said, "That would be even better. Grandpa has several entertainment companies under his control. I'll give them to you to play with."
