Chapter 438 First Class Attendant
"good."
Gu Jin sat next to the old man and glanced at Wanqi Yihai not far away, and found that the other person had a heavy expression.
Old Man Gu, who was sitting at the table, raised the pipe in his hand and took a puff silently.
The old man exhaled a light green smoke from his mouth, and said with a nostalgic tone: "Back then, there were many sisters and brothers in my family, but few survived. The disasters in the Spirit Realm Continent and the endless fighting made the people live in misery.
When I was fifteen or sixteen, in order to fill my stomach, I followed the people in my village to join the majority in defending the Spirit Realm Continent. Later, I was lucky enough to meet a young master from a wealthy family. He appreciated me and brought me to his side. I escaped death countless times and finally worked my way up to the position of a close attendant to the young master.
My life was saved by the other party on the battlefield. At that time, we were full of vigor and courage, and we were ready to die. After nearly twenty years of ups and downs, the young man finally got married and had children. He reached a high position, but he still treated us as brothers.
Unfortunately, after we drove away the foreign enemies, civil unrest broke out in the Spirit Realm Continent again, and the old leader fell into someone else's scheme. He escaped death time and time again, but he didn't escape that time. It was because I failed to protect him well..."
At this point, the old man seemed to have lost his mind.
He took another puff of his cigarette and continued, "The old leader was seriously injured, and I returned to Qingshan Village in disgrace. I will never be able to see his family and descendants again in this life."
At this point, Mr. Gu seemed to choke. He raised the pipe to his lips with trembling hands and took a deep puff.
When the light blue smoke came out, the old man looked up and glanced at Wanqi Yihai with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
After hearing this, Gu Jin almost knew that the young master and old leader his grandfather was talking about was from the Wanqi family.
Old Master Gu shifted his gaze away from Wanqi Yihai and said to Gu Jin, "Jin girl, I followed my old leader all over the country for half my life, but unfortunately I couldn't protect him in the end. If you can help, please help. If it's difficult, don't force yourself."
Gu Jin lowered her eyes and looked at the old man's shaking hands. She said in a gentle voice, "I know, Grandpa."
"It's getting late—"
The old man's voice was unsteady, and he slowly stood up and walked out of the living room.
His back was a little hunched, as if he had aged ten years.
Gu Minmin’s matter and Wanqi Yihai’s arrival really touched the old man’s heart.
Staring at his grandfather's back, Gu Jin stood up.
Wanqi Yihai stood up at the same time, straightened his back, and saluted to Old Man Gu: "Deputy General Gu, my uncle, my father has never blamed you. If you hadn't blocked the fatal blow in front of grandpa with your body, grandpa would not have had the remaining time to arrange the family affairs.
At that time, our family was in chaos because of Grandpa's serious injury. When we looked for you again, we couldn't find you. For so many years, my uncle has always mentioned you to us. You are Grandpa's first-class attendant, and the most powerful subordinate of the Wanqi family, and Grandpa's brother!"
When Wanqi Yihai started to speak, Mr. Gu stopped.
Gu Jin heard the sound of water dripping on the ground.
The old man didn't turn around after all. He stood there for a long time.
When the old man took another step forward, he straightened his back and walked out of the living room step by step.
Not until Mr. Gu's back disappeared did Wanqi Yihai slowly take his hand off his forehead.
He sat down in a gloomy mood, with his head slightly lowered, so that no one could tell the expression on his face.
