Chapter 50: Adultery 17
Gu Rong also saw the appearance of a person forgetting his roots in Gu Yanchen.
And to a certain extent, this man is quite capricious. He can even slap himself in the face and not seem to feel guilty at all. His psychological quality is unparalleled.
"Xiaochen, do you support the two children of the Fan family?"
Gu Chengyuan actually asked a question.
Over the years, Gu Chengyuan has always been the real head of the Gu family. Even now, Gu Chengyuan has not really retreated behind the scenes. He is absolutely very powerful. Even Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan dare not joke in front of him easily. They have to look at the old man's eyes before speaking and doing things, and dare not disobey him at all.
Seeing that when Gu Chengyuan said this, he seemed to have some disagreement, so Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan quickly spoke up to agree.
"This is unacceptable. It's a complete mess."
"Hey, Yanchen, you don't really think these two children from the Fan family can get together, do you?"
Gu Yanchen ignored Gu Zheyan and Gu Zhewan's words and looked at Gu Yanchen instead: "Grandpa, actually, all our discussions won't affect anything. After all, if Fan Jingzhuo is determined to be with Fan Zitong, do you think the Fan family can really stop him? After all, in the third generation of the Fan family, there has only been one Fan Jingzhuo."
The implication is that if the Fan family still relies on Fan Jingzhuo, they won't push him too hard.
Gu Chengyuan paused and couldn't help but look at Gu Yanchen.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Gu Yanchen’s words seem to have a hidden meaning, but I can’t find the source.
However, what is certain is that Gu Yanchen was indeed speaking for Fan Jingzhuo and Fan Zitong, and seemed to support them. This was very unlike Gu Yanchen's style. If it were based on Gu Yanchen's previous character, let alone expressing his position, he probably would not say a few more words, because this was an irrelevant matter to him, and there was no point in saying more.
But now, Gu Yanchen was acting a little out of character, which made people look at him sideways.
"Okay."
In the end, it was Gu Chengyuan who spoke up and ended the topic.
After all, the affairs of the Fan family really have little to do with them, but because of this incident, it is inevitable that people will pay more attention to it.
After the family gathering, Gu Rong went upstairs.
There were footsteps behind me.
He hadn't said much at the dinner table before, but now before entering the bedroom, Gu Rong turned around and said, "That's not what you said before."
“Nothing is set in stone.”
Gu Rong nodded: "So why are you being nice to me all of a sudden? Don't tell me that you only just now remembered that you are my brother."
Gu Yanchen was wearing dark grey home clothes. The material was loose, but it also held him in shape. He stood in front of Gu Rong, as if he could envelop her whole body. He also looked like he was about to scold her. He frowned and said in a low voice, "I have always been your brother. Shouldn't I be nice to you?"
"I've never seen you treat me like this before."
Gu Yanchen seemed helpless. He pinched his brows and sighed, "Arong, I know that I am an incompetent brother. During your growth, I have neglected and let you down too much. I wanted to make up for it, and I wanted to make it up before, but at that time you had already started to alienate me. I thought you hated me as a brother, and that keeping a distance was the safest way to deal with it, but now I realize that I was wrong... It was me who ignored you and used the wrong method, which made you-"
"Don't you think it's too late?"
Gu Rong crossed his arms, a gesture of rejection: "If you just want to make amends and compensate me, then there's really no need. I no longer expect it, and I don't need it."
Gu Yanchen couldn't help but fall silent.
Gu Rong laughed at himself: "It's really hard for you. You have to go through so much trouble to have a normal brother."
Gu Yanchen seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
In the name of brother, he must take on the responsibility of being a brother in everything he can say and do, and take one step at a time without making any mistakes. He cannot let Gu Rong regret it when he thinks about it in the future, and he cannot let things develop into a worse situation.
Gu Yanchen didn't know whether Gu Rong could understand, but he had to be cautious and careful to make sure that nothing could go wrong.
The affairs of Fan Jingzhuo and Fan Zitong have caused such a big controversy, let alone them.
He can tolerate everything about Gu Rong, but he is afraid that others cannot tolerate it, or even cannot tolerate Gu Rong.
He couldn't gamble on that possibility.
The conversation ended on a bad note, but more and more people were paying attention to the affairs of the Fan family.
People are saying all kinds of things, and everyone is just watching the fun, wondering what the final outcome will be.
There is nothing new in the circle. Although it is rare for brothers and sisters to fall in love, fortunately they are not relatives, and it is not something particularly outrageous. Therefore, Gu Rong does not have any extra thoughts about the final outcome of this matter. Just as Gu Yanchen said, if the Fan family still wants to keep Fan Jingzhuo, they will eventually compromise.
Sure enough, the storm subsided soon after.
The Fan family compromised, and Fan Jingzhuo was even going to get engaged to Fan Zitong, which was done at the speed of light.
Even the engagement invitation was written by Fan Jingzhuo himself, and he personally called to invite Gu Rong to attend, as if he was afraid that Gu Rong didn't know about it. He was so proud of himself.
"It's an engagement, not a marriage."
Gu Rong couldn't help but remind him.
Fan Jingzhuo choked on the other end of the phone: "What do you mean, are you jealous for your brother?"
"Can't I be sour for myself?"
Fan Jingzhuo hung up the phone immediately, wondering whether he should arrange Gu Rong to sit at the main table at the wedding so that he could see how loving they were and stop him from talking nonsense all the time.
But now it is said that the second young master Gu has changed for the better, but why is he still causing trouble here? I am really fed up with him.
The other side.
After Gu Rong finished talking to Fan Jingzhuo, he asked 01: [Why is there so little information about the "real young master" in the action guide?]
Gu Rong had discovered this before, but he had never asked about it in detail.
But now... although there is little relevant information in the action guide, Gu Yanchen discovered that his biological brother might be someone else through Fan Jingzhuo.
So this time when Fan Jingzhuo and Fan Zitong are engaged, no one knows whether this real young master will appear.
But Gu Rong felt that it was very likely.
01 popped up, and Xiaochuchu scratched his head: [The lack of information may be because the action guide arranged this person to appear when you, the host, are about to go offline.]
【What I mean is, “I” don’t need to know so much, right? 】
Anyway, he was about to go offline by then, so it wouldn't have much impact on him whether he knew about it or not.
The plot settings in the action guide have always been incomplete, but there was a lot of useful information in the previous world. This time, there is not much information about the real young master. I don’t know whether it was unintentional or intentional, but it does not affect Gu Rong much. After all, as long as he does not interfere in Fan Jingzhuo’s line, what is coming will come.
On the day of the engagement party, Gu Rong and Gu Yanchen were also invited to attend.
No matter how much the Fan family incident had caused in the circle, since the Fan family had agreed, everyone who was invited naturally expressed their blessings.
And looking at the expressions of Fan Jingzhuo and Fan Zitong, they are indeed very happy.
The smile on Fan Jingzhuo's face never faded.
But when he came over to talk to Gu Yanchen, he deliberately sent Fan Zitong away.
"Why isn't your brother with you?"
Gu Yanchen felt helpless: "If he can avoid me, then he will."
"Why?"
"Out of sight, out of mind."
Fan Jingzhuo: “?”
"As a brother, do you still get annoying?"
Gu Yanchen smiled and took a sip of wine: "You don't have it?"
This question struck Fan Jingzhuo in the heart: "That's true. There are basically two stages that we are troubled by. One is the stage of confirming the relationship, and the other is the stage of facing what will happen after confirming the relationship. But fortunately, we have survived it now. Looking back on the past, those troubles have become sweetness."
"It's quite corny." Gu Yanchen commented.
Fan Jingzhuo clicked his tongue.
Then Gu Yanchen continued to ask:
"So your first stage is also out of sight, out of mind?"
"also?"
Fan Jingzhuo didn't quite understand what he was saying, so he subconsciously said, "Yeah, we're both kind of avoiding each other. I don't know what to do."
"Indeed."
Gu Yanchen exhaled: "So now we need an opportunity——"
"Senior."
The two were talking when a voice suddenly came from behind them.
Fan Jingzhuo turned around and smiled, waving to the people behind him: "I just wanted to call you over."
The man emerged from behind Fan Jingzhuo, walked over, nodded toward Gu Yanchen, and said in a graceful and generous manner, "Mr. Gu."
"This is my junior, Xu Junyue. I was just about to introduce you to someone. I heard that Gu's company is currently bidding for projects in the intelligent field. My junior is starting a business in the field of AI intelligence. His company is called Zhichuang Future. I wonder if Mr. Gu has any company in mind. If not, we could have a chat."
It seems that Fan Jingzhuo has a really good relationship with this junior student and is willing to act as a middleman to connect them.
Gu Yanchen's eyes moved to Xu Junyue's face and nodded to him: "Mr. Xu, nice to meet you."
"You can just call me Junyue. Calling me Mr. Xu is really flattering me."
Xu Junyue laughed heartily. "Our company is still in its infancy and can't compare to Gu's. However, regarding the project that Gu's company is about to bid for, I am really confident in our company. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask Senior for an introduction. I hope Mr. Gu can give me a chance."
Since Fan Jingzhuo is the middleman, Gu Yanchen will naturally not refuse this opportunity.
And there is another very important reason -
"Who was that person you were chatting with just now? Your relative?"
Tao Yining came strolling over to find Gu Yanchen, holding a plate of food in her hand. The engagement banquet went through the formalities and turned into a social circle of the upper class. With all the socializing going on, only Fan Zitong and a few other girls gathered together to chat about gossip. It was really impossible to escape the drinking and socializing everywhere.
Gu Yanchen was still thinking about something, but Tao Yining's words made him turn his head.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yanchen: "Why do you feel that he is my relative?"
"Ah, isn't it?"
Tao Yining stuffed his food into his mouth and said casually, "I think he looks a lot like your Gu family, so I asked this question."
"But their temperaments aren't quite the same. Your Gu family doesn't have such a sunny and bright temperament. Maybe it's just that they're similar. If you think about it carefully, they don't seem like they were raised in the same family."
"They weren't raised in the same family..."
"Yeah, that's definitely not raised by one family."
Tao Yining's mouth was still chattering: "By the way, where's your brother? I want to know how things are going between you two now."
When he said this, he lowered his voice again: "Look at what a fuss Jing Zhuo has made. He and his sister's affairs can cause such a fuss, let alone you two. I say, Gu Yanchen, you should take it easy. Even if you want to compensate your brother and accompany him to go crazy, there should be a limit, right?"
After saying this, Gu Yanchen didn't react at all.
I looked up following Gu Yanchen's gaze and saw that Gu Yanchen was staring at Gu Rong not far away.
Zhong Luoyao also came with her son. I don’t know how Zhong Shengxi fell in love with Gu Rong, but after he came, he couldn’t help but stick to Gu Rong, and he is still clinging to her now.
After the engagement party, Gu Rongjing helped Zhong Luoyao take care of the children.
"Don't mention it, your brother is quite good at taking care of children. I think he likes An An very much, and he laughs happily when playing with An An."
Tao Yining tutted his words twice: "Why is he so difficult to deal with at other times? His personality is so awkward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard.
Tao Yining is about to get stressed out——
Where's the glass broken again?!
Turning around, I saw Gu Yanchen drinking the red wine in his hand. When he put it back on the dining table, he knocked it upwards, and the thin part of the wine glass broke instantly.
"No, what's wrong with you?" Tao Yining's scalp was numb.
He didn't say anything just now, right?
"nothing."
Gu Yanchen uttered these three words without any expression, but in fact, a storm had already been stirred in his heart.
Every word of Tao Yining echoed in his mind. What kind of family raises what kind of child. Xu Junyue's generous, cheerful and confident appearance was still before his eyes. One could imagine what kind of family he grew up in. As for Gu Rong, just his happy smile could make people sigh.
Gu Yanchen always felt that he just had to do his best to compensate Gu Rong.
If only we could make up for what we neglected in the past...
But now I realize that some things may really be impossible to compensate for and make up for.
After the engagement party, Gu Rong discovered that Gu Yanchen had personally taken over a docking project with a company.
Create the future with intelligence.
One of the responsible persons is Xu Junyue.
When Gu Rong went to Gu Yanchen's office to report on his work, he heard Qi Si mention this name again. Furthermore, according to Gu Yanchen's schedule, he was going to meet with Qi Si in person that afternoon to discuss the project. This was quite rare, as Gu Yanchen had never personally met with a small startup like Zhichuang Future.
Gu Rong listened silently, and after Qi Si left, he reported on a project he had been busy with recently.
This project is nearing completion.
"Well done. After this project is finished, Mr. Gu will be promoted again."
That's true.
During this period, many people changed their views on Gu Rong, and some even marveled at Gu Rong's transformation. They never thought that this young Mr. Gu could be so professional and outstanding.
They all felt that after experiencing the previous demotion, Gu Rong was trying hard to prove himself and slap Gu Yanchen in the face.
But now, when Gu Rong heard Gu Yanchen say this, he smiled and said no.
Gu Yanchen paused: "Why?"
"No reason, I just want to take a break for a while."
After all, if you still have work to do, it will be difficult to leave at that time.
After Gu Rong finished speaking, he glanced at the calendar on the table and said, "By the way, my parents' death anniversary is coming soon."
Gu Yanchen was even more stunned.
Because the anniversary of their parents' death is also Gu Rong's birthday.
A birthday that has never been celebrated.
