"Who is it? It's so late."
He Yue'er smoothed the white hair at her temples, her mind filled with unease.
It's past 11 p.m., who could it be?
The Gu family has four children in total.
The eldest brother is Gu Tao, the second brother is Gu Chen, the third brother is Gu Ruijie, and the fourth brother is Gu Wanwan.
Gu Tao is already married. Due to the volatile situation, the Gu family still lives in their self-furnished courtyard, and they have dismissed all their servants and drivers, not daring to hire any more.
He Yue'er did everything herself.
So after Gu Tao got married, his house was too small to fit, so he moved out with his wife and granddaughters.
Currently, only the second, third, and fourth sons, who are in relationships, and Gu Tianyou and his wife live in the house.
“It’s me, Mom.”
Gu Tao's low voice came from outside the door, sounding somewhat trembling.
He Yue'er quickly opened the door, saw Gu Tao, and asked, "Boss, why are you here so late?"
Wrapped in his coat, Gu Tao didn't have time to say much, and could only ask, "Mom... Dad, where's Dad?"
"Everyone's chatting in the living room, come on in."
"good."
Gu Tao didn't forget to close the door when he came in.
He looked extremely cautious, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Big brother."
"Boss."
The Gu family was quite surprised to see Gu Tao arrive at this time.
Gu Tianyou frowned imperceptibly: "It's so late, and the weather is so cold. Why did you suddenly come over? Didn't you even send someone to remind you?"
The Gu family used to have a telephone, but they removed it later because they were afraid it would be too conspicuous.
"Haha~ Big brother, let me guess, did you two have a fight?"
Gu Ruijie clapped his hands, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Gu Tao glared fiercely at his good-looking but useless third brother.
But thinking about what happened today, he tried his best to suppress his anger, came to Gu Tianyou's side and said softly, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Gu Tao's solemn expression, Gu Tianyou realized that his boss's visit might not be a small matter. He nodded and led him to the study.
After closing the study door, Gu Tianyou sat down, looked at Gu Tao, and lit a cigarette.
Amidst the wisps of smoke, he squinted at his eldest son: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Although the situation is turbulent now, it is much better than when the Red Army was still around. The country is gradually cleaning up the mess, and everything is looking up.
The Gu family has been safe and sound for the past ten years, and they also have the protection of the Song family, with their own connections and strength...
To be honest, there's really nothing in Haicheng that Gu Tianyou finds particularly troublesome!
Gu Tao's Adam's apple bobbed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Dad... promise me first, that you won't get angry after I finish listening..."
He was extremely flustered and completely lost when he received the news.
He was afraid he couldn't solve this problem, so he could only seek help from his elderly father, even if it meant facing his father's wrath.
Upon hearing Gu Tao's words, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although this leader is mediocre, he is aware of the Gu family's strength.
Even so, he still looked very nervous.
Could it be that we've really created some incredible mess?
"explain!"
Gu Tianyou's fingers trembled slightly as he held the cigarette, and ash fell softly onto his woolen trousers.
"Yes...that's how it is..."
“Tingting and I have been unable to have a son, haven’t we? We’ve already had three girls. The doctor said that Tingting’s chances of getting pregnant again are very low now…”
“But we haven’t had a son yet, how can this be? We’ve been going to the hospital for years without any results. We heard there’s a feng shui master who knows a lot about this, so we sent someone to visit him.”
Gu Tao's voice grew softer and softer.
"You went to visit, so why are you bringing this up now?"
Gu Tianyou still didn't understand what Gu Tao meant.
Although the country is cracking down on feudal superstition, people wouldn't be so foolish as to be so obviously exposed and get caught.
Although Gu Tao is mediocre, he wouldn't be foolish enough to expose his true identity for something so easy to make a mistake; he would definitely have his subordinates do it.
“Dad, they need my and Tingting’s birth dates and times, names, and your three granddaughters’ information. They want to use the good fortune of the Chu family’s seven children in one pregnancy to help us have a big, healthy boy.”
His lips trembled like a leaf: "Who would have thought that when we were about to take action today, that bastard was handcuffed and taken away by the police!"
"What did you say?!"
With a "thud," Gu Tianyou's cigarette fell onto his trousers.
He was completely unaware of the heat, and suddenly stood up, causing the solid wood chair to crash to the ground with a loud bang.
"The Chu family you mentioned... could it be Chu Yan's wife—Ye Nian'an?"
"It's...it's Chu Yan's wife...Ye Nian'an..."
Gu Tao's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
I'll fuck your ancestors!
Gu Tianyou grabbed the enamel mug from the table and smashed it.
With a muffled thud, Gu Tao was caught off guard and took the hit hard. His forehead was instantly cut open, and blood trickled out like a small stream, flowing down his brow bone.
However, Gu Tao dared not dodge, nor could he dodge. He could only kneel down with a thud, his knees hitting the floor with a thud.
"Dad, I really didn't know this would happen. I never imagined that bastard, who is clearly an expert and assured me that nothing would happen, would still get caught!"
"Didn't you always want a grandson? I also want a son of my own to inherit the family business! I really didn't mean for this to happen!"
"You bastard, are you trying to ruin the Gu family? I never bothered to ask what you did, because the Gu family can cover for you!"
"In this vast city of Haicheng, there aren't many people our Gu family fears, yet you insist on provoking the Chu family! Have you lost your mind? Why are you trying to provoke a tiger? Don't you know what kind of momentum the Chu family is in right now?"
Gu Tianyou couldn't hold back any longer and rushed up to kick Gu Tao several times, venting his anger.
Gu Tao was kicked and fell backward to the ground, but he didn't dare to dodge. He could only hug his father's leg and wail, "Dad, I know it's all my fault! What's done is done, there's no use in you hitting me now!"
"Let's think of a way to minimize the impact of this incident and prevent it from affecting the Gu family and making us enemies with the Chu family!"
Gu Tianyou took several deep breaths.
"Shut up, get the hell out of here!"
Gu Tianyou kicked Gu Tao aside, then walked to the window with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.
The ticking of the old-fashioned grandfather clock sounded like a death knell, and the frost flowers on the windowpane reflected on his ashen face.
No matter how cold it was outside, it couldn't hide the anxiety emanating from Gu Tianyou.
