"Okay, they are all Zhaoming's children. It's not your turn to say anything." Gu Hongwei warned Madam Gu, and then asked Butler Liu to clean up the empty rooms in the old house for the people in the first house to live in.
Although Mrs. Gu was reluctant, Gu Zhaoming and his family finally settled down in the old house.
After the family gathering, Gu Shuzhi took Gu Zhaoye to meet the first wife's family.
"Uncle, aunt, I am Shuzhi from the third room." Gu Shuzhi behaved very politely.
But Gu Zhaoming didn't like them and said coldly, "What do you want?"
Before coming to the main family in the capital, he had learned about the people in the second and third branches from the fifth elder.
Although his two younger brothers were not very smart, perhaps their genes had been improved by their marriages with other families, or perhaps it was a genetic mutation, so their sons and daughters were quite smart. Of course, except for Gu Shuda.
People like Gu Shuzhi and Gu Shuxue are both top students.
However, compared with the three full marks from their family, it is still far behind.
Before Ruan Xueling got into a car accident, the driver confessed that the butler of the Gu family was the butler of the third branch of the Gu family.
However, when they found the housekeeper of the third room, all the clues were cut off. It was obvious that someone had cleaned up the secret in advance.
Gu Zhaoming felt that his third brother Gu Zhaoye might not have such a brain, but this nephew might.
Gu Shuzhi noticed Gu Zhaoming's indifference towards him, and said straight to the point: "My father and I are here to apologize to my aunt and two cousins.
Previously, our housekeeper hired someone to kill someone, injuring my aunt and scaring my two cousins. We only found out about this when the police came to our house.
The housekeeper was transferred to my father by my grandmother, and we have no idea what conflict he had with my uncle.
If I had noticed it earlier, I would have stopped him.
Uncle, aunt, I'm really sorry about this. It's our fault for not managing the servants well."
Gu Shuzhi's tone was sincere, as if he felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Yang could see that Gu Shuzhi didn't seem to be lying.
After Gu Shuzhi finished speaking, he nudged Gu Zhaoye, who was a little distracted, with his elbow.
Gu Zhaoye: "Yes, brother, I'm sorry, this is really not our family's doing. It must be Gu Zhaoan who framed our family!"
Gu Shuzhi frowned.
Although he speculated that this was the case, the effect of saying it directly and letting Gu Zhaoming speculate on his own was different. Speaking directly would sometimes backfire.
Regardless of whether it was the third branch's doing or not, Gu Zhaoming had no good feelings towards these two brothers because of the old patriarch Gu's illness and death twenty years ago.
It was fine for him to put on an act in front of the old man, but here he was too lazy to act like a brother to them.
So he said impatiently, "Are you done?"
"Brother, don't disbelieve it, it really wasn't us!" Gu Zhaoye was a little anxious.
Gu Shuzhi had a severe headache. He glared at him fiercely and told him to shut up before saying to Gu Zhaoming, "I believe that uncle will make his own judgment. We won't say much. Our third branch is somewhat responsible for this matter. We will come to your house to apologize another day."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Zhaoye away.
After they walked away, Gu Shuzhi asked in an unhappy tone: "Dad, didn't I just ask you to apologize? Why did you say so much?"
Gu Zhaoye: "Son, didn't you say that we can't let our eldest brother misunderstand us? Isn't it enough to just tell him that it was our second brother who did it?"
Gu Shuzhi had a headache: "What's the difference between what you're doing and framing others and sowing discord?"
