Gu Yunzhou still lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Disappointment flashed across the old man's eyes, and fatigue appeared on his resolute face. "You don't even want the Gu family anymore?"
After a dead silence, Gu Qingyong spoke again.
"Why? Is it because of you, my parents?"
Gu Yunzhou finally raised his head and looked at the old man. "Grandpa, I died on the battlefield during that mission three years ago. Does anyone in the Gu family still remember me now?"
Gu Qingyong's throat choked. "What are you talking about? You have always been the goal that the younger generation of the Gu family strives for, and you have always been the pride of our Gu family."
Gu Yunzhou said softly, "But when I was in trouble, the Gu family was the first to give up on me. Not only did they give up on me, they also used my flesh and blood to feed the entire Gu family."
There was no emotion in his tone, as calm as if he was talking about someone else's family, but Gu Qingyong's hands on the armrests of the chair were clenched into fists.
His eyes were bloodshot. "Yunzhou, you have to understand that we exist because of the Gu family. You are my grandson, but you are not the only grandson. I also have a son, a daughter, and other descendants."
Seeing that Gu Yunzhou was silent again, he said with a trembling voice, "Yes, in Grandpa's heart, the Gu family is more important than anything else. If you have any resentment in your heart, just blame me."
"I was the one who pushed you up there. None of your father's generation could stand firm in the army. I'm old now, and you had an accident like that. What do you want me to do?
I am the head of the Gu family. I can only put the overall situation first and push your brother forward.
I know you blame me, but I have no choice. The Gu family can't just give up on development in the military.
I think you are also a member of the Gu family, and one day, you will understand my difficulties.
I also think that as long as the Gu family does not fall, I can protect you and provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”
Gu Yunzhou showed a hint of sarcasm and said, "Grandpa, even now, you are still using the overall situation of the Gu family to kidnap me."
"Since the Gu family was the first to give up on me when I got into trouble, why should I risk my life for the Gu family? For so many years, I thought that even if I had no merits, I had worked hard.
Grandpa, I don't blame you for helping my eldest brother get to the top, and I understand that you're considering the overall situation. What I can't accept is that the Gu family has given up on me and is stepping back on me. ”
Gu Qingyong's eyes flickered, "Yunzhou, did you misunderstand something?"
"Are you referring to your eldest brother's marriage to Liu Xinyue? I asked you before what you meant, and you said..."
Gu Yunzhou interrupted Gu Qingyong and said, "Grandpa, I don't care about Liu Xinyue's affairs, and you didn't ask for my opinion at the beginning, but informed me directly.
Don’t you really know what I care about? Or are you deliberately avoiding the main point and changing the subject to love affairs? ”
Gu Qingyong looked at Gu Yunzhou and told him firmly, "Yunzhou, you just had that accident and you feel so disappointed, plus Liu Xinyue's incident and your family's neglect of you.
Don't worry, I've already warned your parents and what happened before is over. When you come back, nothing will change.
As for your marriage, I have other plans. I can promise you that your marriage will never be worse than your brother's! ”
Gu Yunzhou no longer had the patience to talk, he stood up and looked down at Gu Qingyong.
"Grandpa, do you really want me to bring up the subject?"
"Are you really not aware of the reason why I got into trouble? And how did he escape punishment, not only did he do nothing wrong, but he also made a great step up?"
