As Grandpa Chen listened to the conversation between the three grandfathers and Xiao Ruanruan, the great hope that had just been ignited in his heart cooled down a little.
But when Xiaoruanruan said there was still a way, hope was rekindled in my heart.
Just then, the butler tiptoed in, leaned close to Old Master Chen's ear, and whispered, "Master, Young Master Gu has come to visit."
Old Master Chen didn't react for a moment, "Young Master Gu?"
“The Gu family from Chongqing moved to Beijing last year,” the butler explained.
Little Ruanruan blinked her bright, clear eyes in confusion, then subconsciously looked at her three grandfathers, "Why is Brother Gu Chen here?"
Grandpa Yan glanced at Xiao Ruanruan's hand being held by Chen Jie, then quickly looked away, staring at the ceiling, and said, "I don't know, maybe Gu boy is here to discuss some business with Grandpa Chen?"
Right, Old Chen?
When Xiao Ruanruan heard Grandpa Yan's seemingly natural but actually guilty Old Chen, what else could she not understand?
These three grandfathers are really something...
Chen Jie only took her hand because he saw her as an angel who could save him, right?
They ran to tell Gu Chen on them, and it's hard to say whether they were annoying or cute.
Although Grandpa Chen didn't understand what was going on, he still politely greeted Xiao Ruanruan before getting up and leaving.
Although the Gu family, like the Su family, only moved from Chongqing to Beijing last year.
However, their strength is formidable and unfathomable.
Rumors suggest that the Gu family is even more powerful than the Su family, who are publicly known as the richest family. However, because many of the Gu family's businesses involve state secrets, no rich list dares to calculate the Gu family's assets.
Moreover, the person currently in charge of the Gu family is also very mysterious.
Some people said that he accompanied the Su family's little princess, Su Ruanruan, to a variety show, but later it was clarified that the boy was not him, but just someone with the same name.
When Mr. Chen saw these things, he also watched the variety show out of concern for his business rivals.
The variety show is great; it's both funny and heartwarming.
However, he didn't believe that the eight-year-old kid on the show was a successful business tycoon who was also the head of the Gu family.
After all, even a child prodigy like his granddaughter Chen Danqing can only achieve great success in a field that interests them. But to be successful in the business world is completely different from studying science.
It requires not only temperament, courage, and methods, but also experience, and even more importantly, a thorough understanding of human nature and people's hearts. No matter how talented an eight-year-old child is, they cannot do this without sufficient time to accumulate experience.
Therefore, he is more inclined to believe the later denial.
However, judging from Xiao Ruanruan's tone just now, the Su family and the Gu family are indeed very close, just as the rumors say. Moreover, Gu Chen must be very young, otherwise Xiao Ruanruan, who is only five years old, would not be able to call him brother.
Despite having this understanding, when Grandpa Chen met Gu Chen, he was still shocked. He thought that no matter how young Gu Chen was, his age should be about the same as Su Yiqing's.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
He had heard about the Gu family's car accident, which left only Gu Chen as the sole heir.
At that time, he also lamented that with only one heir left in the Gu family, even a century-old foundation might not be able to be preserved.
After all, he was born into such a family, and he knew better than anyone how ruthless those who came to take advantage of them would be, like wolves that had smelled blood, if something happened to them.
However, unexpectedly, not long after, the news from Chongqing was not that something had happened to the only son of the Gu family, but that the collateral branches of the Gu family had been wiped out.
At the time, he was shocked by Gu Chen's courage and skill, and therefore he went to investigate Gu Chen.
However, the Gu family kept Gu Chen's information too well hidden, and his people couldn't find anything, so the matter was dropped.
When Old Master Chen saw Gu Chen, although he didn't know why Gu Chen had come, he still showed a business smile on his wrinkled face. "Young Master Gu, it is very kind of you to come to my door. I was delayed by some things and was unable to come out to greet you. I am really sorry."
Gu Chen's lips curled up slightly, his smile equally polite and courteous. "Mr. Chen, you're too kind. I'm here today to pick up Xiao Ruan Ruan."
This was unexpected for Old Master Chen. Although he knew that the Gu family and the Su family had a good relationship, Gu Chen, as the head of the Gu family, personally came to pick up Su Ruanruan. Wasn't this relationship a little too good?
Just as Grandpa Chen was still in shock and hadn't recovered, the three grandfathers came downstairs.
As soon as Grandpa Yan saw Gu Chen, he said, "Gu boy, Xiao Ruanruan is upstairs. The Chen boy insists on holding Xiao Ruanruan's hand to sleep, and she's still asleep."
The three of us just examined the Chen family boy; his brain nerves are damaged. You can go up and take a look too, and help us think of some treatment options.”
Gu Chen did not answer Grandpa Yan's question, but instead looked at Grandpa Chen and politely asked, "Grandpa Chen, is that alright?"
When Old Master Chen looked at Gu Chen's expression, although the smile on Gu Chen's face seemed to be exactly the same as before, he felt that Gu Chen's gaze was colder than before, and that gaze, which was clearly smiling, actually made him feel a little scared.
He nodded almost without thinking, saying instinctively, "Okay."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." After saying this, Gu Chen turned around and was led upstairs by the butler.
It wasn't until Gu Chen's figure was about to disappear around the corner of the spiral staircase that Old Master Chen came to his senses and asked Grandpa Yan, "Grandpa Yan, does Young Master Gu also know medicine?"
Grandpa Yan had just raised his head, striking a proud pose and preparing to turn around when Grandpa Huang interrupted, "Of course! Gu boy and our dear granddaughter are both outstanding students who have surpassed their teachers!"
The three old men still feel very proud whenever they think back to that month of grueling training they put on their little girl.
That time, not only did they teach Xiao Ruanruan everything they had ever learned, but even Gu Xiaozi, who had previously refused to learn from them no matter how much they threatened or bribed him, started learning from them so that Xiao Ruanruan would ask him for advice.
Teaching two outstanding students at once—that couldn't be more satisfying and worthwhile!
Gu Chen followed the butler into Chen Jie's room, his gaze immediately falling on the hand that Chen Jie was holding Xiao Ruanruan's hand.
(This is the third update. There will be one more update tonight to make up for yesterday's. Yesterday, because I was greedy and bought a cheap grilled fish through a group purchase, I ended up spending the whole night inextricably linked to the toilet. LOL.jpg)
