Chapter 13
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Aunt Zhang: “?”
Gu Jiangkuo's ears turned red all of a sudden. "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't mind it. The old lady was confused. She probably saw that you were good-looking and couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman."
Jiang Nuo had long heard that the old lady had unfortunately suffered from Alzheimer's disease, so he naturally didn't take it to heart. He said gently, "It's okay, but I didn't expect the old lady's illness to be so serious. It seems that in addition to hiring a professional caregiver, further physical examinations are needed. So, leave it to me to arrange everything."
Aunt Zhang said happily, "Do you really want to take Aunt Wang back to take care of her?"
Jiang Nuo laughed: "I never joke."
Gu Jiangkuo was anxious: "No, it's embarrassing."
When he heard Jiang Nuo say this just now, although he was a little surprised, he felt more that President Jiang was just supporting him and was just criticizing Wang Weiguo.
I am already satisfied if I can scare Wang Weiguo away and let him continue to take care of grandma. How can I have the nerve to ask Jiang Nuozhen to pay for a caregiver for grandma?
Jiang Nuo: "Help him to the end. If you don't really take the old man away, your uncle will come to cause trouble again in the future and he will definitely be more aggressive. Wouldn't that harm you?"
Gu Jiangkuo was about to refuse, but Jiang Nuo stopped him with a smile: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about between you and me. If you say more, it will become alienated."
The words "between you and me" brought a warm feeling to Gu Jiangkuo's heart. The aftertaste of emotion brought a tingling sensation in his heart, which made him stop talking. He was afraid that if he spoke at this time, he would accidentally confirm his unformed delusion.
"That's right!" Aunt Zhang was worried that Gu Jiangkuo would miss out on this great opportunity. "Just remember the boss's kindness and repay him by working like a slave."
Jiang Nuo nodded wildly in his heart: Yes, yes, yes! Remember my kindness, and don't forget to repay me in the future!
Gu Jiangkuo then pursed his lips and said solemnly, "Well, I don't need to thank you for your kindness."
"That's right!" Jiang Nuo said, then picked up the phone and called the driver without giving him any time to refuse.
.
The more Wang Weiguo thought about it, the angrier he became. Outside the dilapidated wall covered in the word "demolition," he sat in the scorching sun, wiping his sweat as he said, "I'm not afraid of him, but he's been a troublemaker since he was little. He smokes and gets into fights. When he was sixteen or seventeen, he was like a gangster. He's completely different from my son Xuanhui! I can't stand on the same level as a juvenile delinquent!"
"Let's hide, let's see how long he can hide." Aunt Wang also said, "That pretty boy Dajiang brought back, I don't know where he came from. He's not very old, but he dares to brag about hiring a caregiver for the old lady. Caregiving is not a job for just a few days. Does he know how much money that is? Will that be enough pocket money for the child?"
Hearing their story, even the neighbors started talking: "Dajiang's friend looks a bit underage, with tender skin like a little girl. He's probably still in school. He might have been angry at the time and said he wanted to take Old Lady Wang away to take care of her. How could he, a child, make such a decision?"
"Dajiang is so poor, how could he possibly know any rich people? He's just bragging like a kid. Oh, really, what's the point of bragging like that? It'll be exposed sooner or later."
"No matter how rich you are, can you compare to Wang Weiguo? Wang Weiguo just said he bought a car worth over 300,000 yuan. Is that true?"
Wang Weiguo's brother-in-law chimed in a bit proudly, "Of course it's real. It's parked at the entrance of the alley. BBA!"
"What is BBA?"
"Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz are collectively known as BBA. Don't you understand this?"
"Wow! These are all luxury cars. Has Wang Weiguo become rich?"
"Of course. Wang Weiguo has a good job and his son is promising. Unlike me, I have to save money for my disappointing son to marry. His son is about to join a big company, so of course he dares to spend the money."
Just as Wang Weiguo was listening to these discussions and feeling proud, a middle-aged man wearing white gloves and looking like a driver hurried over and asked them as he walked, "Excuse me, is Gu Jiangkuo's home nearby?"
Wang Weiguo had a bad feeling: "...What do you want to do with Gu Jiangkuo?"
But before he could ask, a neighbor had already pointed the way to driver Lao Liu: "That's it!"
"Thank you." Old Liu thanked the old man who showed him the way and knocked on the door respectfully. "Master, I'm here."
Young Master? ?
The neighbors looked at each other in confusion. "Young Master?" Who was he calling?
Then Gu Jiangkuo opened the door, and the driver nodded politely to him and went in. After a while, when he came out, Gu Jiangkuo was carrying Old Lady Wang on his back, and Aunt Zhang helped to carry a small bag - it was obvious that it was packed temporarily and was not very big.
The driver was holding a black parasol that looked very high-quality and carefully shielding the handsome boy from the sun.
"This...are we really moving?" Wang Weiguo and the others were stunned. They only remembered to speak out after the people walked away.
"No, let's go and take a look! Can you fool me by getting someone to pretend to be a driver?" Wang Weiguo was unwilling to give up. He stood up and followed him, and the neighbors also went over to watch the fun.
As expected, he saw an entry-level domestically produced Brilliance BMW 3 Series parked at the entrance of the alley. But before Wang Weiguo had the time to show off, he saw a Bentley Mulsanne parked next to his own car.
A beautiful black business car with a three-dimensional golden logo with wings on the front.
"Dajiang and the others got into another car. What kind of car is that? I don't recognize it."
"That's called a Bentley. Rich people love to drive this kind of car. It must be worth millions, right?"
Wang Weiguo was completely paralyzed. He couldn't utter a single word of the ridicule he had prepared for Gu Jiangkuo. He just stared blankly as they got into the car.
He watched stiffly as the expensive Bentley Mulsanne drove out of the alley, turned into the road, and completely disappeared from his sight.
At this time, he saw Aunt Zhang returning and couldn't help asking, "Sister Zhang, who is that handsome young man? How does Dajiang know him?"
"What young master? He's the boss of a big company!"
"Boss?" Wang Weiguo said, "How can there be such a young boss? Which big company is this from?"
Just half an hour ago, Wang Weiguo wanted to attack Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang naturally didn't like him and rolled her eyes at him: "I don't know!"
"Why are you being so arrogant to me?" Wang Weiguo muttered, his arrogance less intense. "It's probably not a big company. How could a big company let a minor be the boss?"
.
Jiang Nuo simply took the opportunity to take a day off and asked the driver to take them home.
Because of his disagreement with his stepmother, Jiang Nuo moved out as soon as he started high school. When he was eighteen years old, Mr. Jiang, who doted on his son, simply gave him a detached villa as a coming-of-age gift.
The new villa is not inferior to the old house of Mr. Jiang and his wife in terms of geographical location or luxury.
Jiang Nuo still lives here. The black Bentley slowly drove into Linhai Guiyuan No. 1 Villa District. He saw a wide driveway and beautiful green lawns. He parked the car and entered the courtyard. He heard a burst of excited dog barking. Jiang Nuo hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, Grandma. Wangcai doesn't bite."
Before he finished speaking, a fat Alaskan dog came over with its tongue wagging and tail wagging, howling. Jiang Nuo's forehead vein jumped, "Don't come over! Wangcai, go back!"
However, the dog was not moved at all and still pounced excitedly. Jiang Nuo was frightened and stepped back repeatedly. Seeing that the dog was about to pounce on him, Gu Jiangkuo took a quick step forward and directly used his arm to hit it.
This fat Alaskan weighs at least 70 kilograms, and coupled with the inertia of running wildly, the impact force cannot be underestimated. If it really hits Jiang Nuo's small body, it will definitely be injured. After all, news of pets attacking their owners is not uncommon.
But Gu Jiangkuo withstood its impact. Wangcai's nose bumped into Gu Jiangkuo's muscle and he was a little dazed. He was probably hurt and howled in dissatisfaction.
"Why are you so fierce!" Jiang Nuo slapped the big dog on the head, "Shut up!"
Wangcai was fat and strong, and he didn't feel any pain when he was slapped. He just noticed that his little master was angry, so he immediately became scared, tucked his tail between his legs, and whimpered in grievance.
At this time, a middle-aged woman came running over, panting, and apologized repeatedly: "Wangcai is back! Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be back so early today, so I didn't put the dog on a leash and let it run around in the yard. Master, are you okay? Did it hurt you?"
Jiang Nuo glanced at the car. Fortunately, the old lady was slow and hadn't had time to get out. Old Liu quickly closed the car door. Jiang Nuo gave Old Liu an appreciative look and said to the middle-aged woman, "I'm fine, Aunt Mei. I brought an elderly person back. Take her upstairs and clean up two rooms."
Jiang Nuo briefly explained Old Lady Wang's basic situation and continued, "Please take care of her for a few days until a caregiver is found."
"Yes, Master."
After settling everything and returning to the air-conditioned room, Jiang Nuo let out a comfortable sigh. Before he had time to change into his home clothes, he called out to Gu Jiangkuo, "Let me see your arm."
Gu Jiangkuo subconsciously hid his arm behind his back, but he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and the bruise on his arm caused by Wangcai's collision could not be hidden at all.
Jiang Nuo's expression became serious and he ordered him, "Come here."
Gu Jiangkuo then walked over and stretched out his arm obediently, still struggling: "It's okay, actually. I've been injured often before. This is nothing. It doesn't hurt at all."
Jiang Nuo pretended he didn't hear it, grabbed his arm, and looked at the injury carefully. He found that his bodyguard was quite impressive, with strong and handsome muscles. However, he still had the slenderness that was unique to young people, so it was not exaggerated. He was just the right amount of strong and agile.
Every fiber of his skin was filled with dormant power. No wonder such a heavy dog, rushing towards him madly, couldn't knock him down.
However, a closer look revealed that the injury was actually more serious than it looked - Gu Jiangkuo's skin was tanned and the bruises were not obvious.
This person seemed to be accustomed to suffering, and even his injuries were not obvious, as if he knew that even if he showed them, no one would care or feel sorry for him.
Jiang Nuo's expression softened, and he shouted, "Aunt Mei, the medicine box—"
However, after he finished speaking, he realized that his aunt should be taking care of Old Mrs. Wang upstairs, so he changed to do it himself.
Perhaps because he usually just stretched out his arm and had everything handed to him, Young Master Jiang was not familiar with where everything was kept in his home. He searched for a long time before finally finding the medicine box. He then spent another half day studying the instructions on the medicines before ordering Gu Jiangkuo to stretch out his arm again.
Non-open wounds can be treated with Yunnan Baiyao spray, while the scratches on the face caused by Aunt Wang need to be coated with iodine. Jiang Nuo asked Gu Jiangkuo to sit on the sofa, while he stood, bent over, and leaned down to carefully apply the medicine to him.
Gu Jiangkuo felt that Young Master Jiang was so close to him that his breath could hit his arm, and he couldn't help but tense his muscles even more.
"Does it hurt? I'll be gentler then." Jiang Nuo misunderstood his reaction and said as he sprayed the medicine, "Wangcai is my dad's pet. Ever since Old Jiang got sick, he's been sitting at the door waiting for him to come home, refusing to eat or drink. I had no choice but to change his environment. After bringing him to my place, the silly dog thought he was on vacation and was able to eat normally."
"I also despise Wangcai for being stupid, but there's nothing I can do," Jiang Nuo's expression darkened. "I hope Lao Jiang can turn things around. I hope that through hard work...something can change this time."
The second half of the sentence was spoken very softly, like a mumbling from the lips. Gu Jiangkuo didn't hear it clearly, but he felt that his boss was suddenly in a low mood. He couldn't help but feel worried and anxious, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Then Jiang Nuo raised his voice again, "From now on, you will live here too. You will be my 24-hour bodyguard."
"I'm still the one making the most money," Jiang Nuo winked teasingly. "Your working hours have gotten longer, and I haven't even given you a raise."
