Chapter 147
"You really like that Xiao Jiang?" Old Mrs. Fang asked curiously. "You've always been praising him, but you've never praised anyone like this before."
"No, I just miss my aunt's kindness. Mother, you can't bear to see your aunt's property and our Fang family's property fall into the hands of the descendants of Gu Zhonghong's mistress, right?"
"Okay, let's give it another try. I hope Ah Kuo isn't the same as that unfaithful Gu Zhonghong. Otherwise... even if he's my sister's grandson, I won't help him."
.
After leaving Fang's house, Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo rushed to the Gu family manor without stopping.
The caregivers have packed grandma's luggage. She doesn't have much stuff, just some leftover medicine, some clothes, and her precious little box.
The box contained all her treasures, including the small handkerchief embroidered with the word "Gu" by Gu Min and the will she wrote when she was conscious, all of which were carefully hidden in this small box.
Old Mrs. Wang recognized Jiang Nuo at a glance, and called her "granddaughter-in-law" from a distance, and without saying anything, she stuffed a piece of milk candy into Jiang Nuo's mouth.
Jiang Nuo looked at the date and was pleased to find that the White Rabbit snack was not expired, so he stuffed it into his mouth in front of his grandmother, successfully making Grandma Wang smile.
From the window of the sanatorium building, the entire scene could be seen clearly. Uncle Gu looked at them with resentment, complaining weakly, "What on earth is Father so afraid of? He actually wants to send this old fool away?"
On the upper floor, in the owner's private infirmary, Gu Zhonghong also dismissed the doctor and walked to the window alone. From above, he couldn't see Jiang Nuo's face clearly, but he could tell that he was thin and graceful. His skin was two or three shades lighter than his own grandson's rough, dark, and strong skin. He looked more like a respectable and noble young man than his own grandson. Although there was a big difference in body shape and skin color, the two of them together had a harmonious aura. No matter how you looked at them, they looked a perfect match. And then there was that old lady with dementia...
It was so strange. The old lady scolded the nurse, "Gu Min", and the servants. When she got angry, she wanted to scold even the dogs passing by, but she didn't attack Jiang Nuo!
Not only did they not attack, they were also very kind and easy to talk to. The laughter and chatter of Gu Jiangkuo, Jiang Nuo, and Old Lady Wang reached upstairs and into Gu Zhonghong's ears, combining into the eight big words "Happy family, live a long and healthy life".
Gu Zhonghong felt inexplicably lost, and a feeling of almost jealousy arose: he had married two wives and had a bunch of lovers in his life, but he had few children. Apart from his frail son and his grandson who ran away to the United States without a word, he had nothing left. In his later years, he never experienced the joy of playing with his grandchildren.
Gu Zhonghong was a little lost. If he hadn't plotted to kill Fang Wan, would he have had more strong, capable grandsons like Gu Jiangkuo to support the family business? Would his old age have been less lonely?
But the thought was fleeting.
Gu Zhonghong rang the call bell and saw his personal doctor and servants enter. He ordered, "Call Ah Kuo and his... friends to the reception room and tell them I need to see them. ... Never mind, I'll go myself."
.
When Gu Zhonghong suddenly appeared, Jiang Nuo still had a White Rabbit milk candy in his mouth, and his cheeks were bulging.
The reason why Gu Zhonghong wanted to condescend to meet a junior in person was that he was planning a "surprise attack". After all, after he found out that Gu Jiangkuo was not simple, the more he investigated Jiang's family, the more he realized that the young president of Jiang Group was even more extraordinary. Grandpa Gu suspected that the reason why A Kuo was so devoted to Jiang Nuo and even ignored those beautiful male models and male celebrities he had carefully prepared before was because Jiang Nuo himself must have some skills that could be utilized.
Not to mention his financial resources, I'm afraid he is also smart and capable, and can become A Kuo's powerful assistant and military advisor.
However, when he was suddenly attacked, he didn't see the thoughtful and contemplative young conspirator or the overbearing young boss, but a... uh, handsome young man wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and with bulging cheeks, like some kind of stuffed rodent.
Gu Zhonghong: “…”
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Jiang Nuo chewed hard, trying to swallow the White Rabbit candy, but it was too big and a little sticky. He couldn't spit it out in front of his grandmother, so he could only greet her awkwardly, "Hello, Chairman Gu."
Gu Zhonghong: "...Hello."
At this time, Gu Jiangkuo took a step forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Jiang Nuo, as if he was afraid that Gu Zhonghong would eat his boyfriend alive, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
"Give your grandma a farewell." Gu Zhonghong said this, but his eyes were always on Jiang Nuo behind Gu Jiangkuo. "After all, she has lived in the Gu family for so long and raised you. She is our Gu family's benefactor. Now that she is leaving, it is only right that she be seen off in person. Ah Kuo, why don't you introduce your friend to me?"
Gu Jiangkuo then stepped aside and said dryly, "Jiang Nuo, my boyfriend. I introduced him to you before."
"I haven't looked at it carefully before, nor have I understood it carefully, and I didn't know how powerful Mr. Jiang is." Gu Zhonghong said softly.
Both of them realized the tone of the old man's words and could not help but glance at each other secretly. Jiang Nuo smiled calmly and said, "It's not that great. I'm young and can barely run a small company. I still have a lot to learn from seniors like you."
Gu Zhonghong laughed, but did not continue the conversation. Instead, in front of Jiang Nuo, he said to Gu Jiangkuo, "Akuo, after sending grandma away, stay with me for a few more days and don't go to the casino."
“!”
Gu Jiangkuo's heart moved, and he keenly realized that something beyond his control must have happened in Nanyang during the few days when he returned to China. What could it be?
The layout of the casino, the short-selling institutions, the board members, shareholders, the Fang family he secretly contacted, or... the whereabouts of the 160 million yuan?
These thoughts flashed through his mind like a movie. He needed to prepare his judgment and give a reasonable response in a short period of time. However, it was too hasty and he had no idea what to do. When Gu Jiangkuo's mind was working rapidly, he heard Jiang Nuo naturally take over the topic. He called him "Grandpa" sweetly and said complainingly: "I also advised Brother Akuo not to touch the gambling table again. Even if he made a lot of money, it would be useless. It's hard to quit gambling. Grandpa is the one who has foresight."
"Can Ah Kuo make a fortune by gambling?" A gleam of light flashed in Mr. Gu's cloudy old eyes, and the temptation was obvious.
Jiang Nuo guessed that he was probably right in his bet.
But he didn't dare to say anything definitive. He smiled and shook his head, saying cunningly, "Didn't Chairman Gu make such a fortune by running a casino?"
Gu Zhonghong was about to ask again, but Jiang Nuo answered quickly, "Although Brother Akuo and I are good friends, I won't interfere with anything he does, nor will I ask too many questions. Don't worry, old man."
Gu Zhonghong: “…”
How can he feel at ease?
The handsome boy in front of him kept calling him "Brother Akuo". He was sweet and well-behaved, and had an attitude of "Don't worry, elder, I will never interfere in your grandson's career. I am very virtuous." This made Gu Zhonghong hesitate to continue questioning him.
This kid has a sharp tongue and a sharp tongue.
Just as the old man was holding his breath, plotting how to continue his investigation, the impatient grandmother, who had been waiting beside him, pushed aside the servants and came over. She raised her voice with a country accent and said, "Granddaughter-in-law! Why aren't you leaving yet? Didn't you come to take me home?"
"Grandma, wait a moment..."
"Are we going back to see Wangcai?" Grandma's thoughts were jumping around, but she still remembered the year she spent in the Jiang family villa. She cried like a child, "Let's go quickly! I won't keep an eye on him! Wangcai is being naughty again and is digging up vegetables!"
She always stubbornly believed that the precious flowers and plants in Jiang Nuo's yard were vegetables that had not yet grown and borne fruit. After all, Old Lady Wang had lived for half her life and had never seen any neighbor grow inedible flowers.
"Old sister," Gu Zhonghong interrupted her impatiently, "Don't worry, I'll just say a few words to the children and then leave."
"Who are you?" Old Mrs. Wang had also lived in the Gu family for more than half a year, but she did not recognize Gu Zhonghong.
Because of Uncle Gu's incident, Gu Zhonghong had a very bad impression of this elderly and mentally retarded relative. He frowned and ordered, "Come here, take the old man away first."
But grandma reacted very quickly. Before the servant could chase them away, she spat in Mr. Gu's face with a "tsk" sound, and then, like a naughty child afraid of being punished, she quickly hid behind Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo.
