When the Gu family learned that Gu Shaoyan had given up the position of heir to the head of the family, they were in an uproar.
Gu Shaoyan's giving up of the position of heir to the family head means that all male members of the third generation of the Gu family have the opportunity to grab that position.
Every young member of the Gu family knows that since Gu Shaoyan has been by his grandfather's side since he was a child and is favored by his grandfather, the eldest brother Gu Shaoyan was identified as the heir to the head of the family and was trained as a key person. Many people subconsciously believe that the eldest brother will definitely be the next head of the family. With such a tacit understanding, there are not so many conflicts between the third generation of males.
No one expected that an ordinary mission outside Hai City would make Gu Shaoyan give up the position of heir to the family head.
After making inquiries from many sources, the family members learned that Gu Shaoyan fell in love with a girl but could not get her love, so he was willing to give up his position as heir and wait for her his whole life. As a qualified heir to the head of the family, how could he repay his children?
Although children from large families enjoy a life of luxury and endless prosperity, many of their marriages are arranged by their families, and it is really too luxurious for them to have free love.
It is impossible for a family heir to not have his own bloodline inheritance. Bloodline inheritance is of vital importance to a family. Gu Shaoyan knew this very well. So he took the initiative to give up the position of family heir.
Gu Shaoyan's grandfather was a founding general. He knew that his eldest grandson had lived a hard and tiring life over the years.
At first, he didn't understand Gu Shaoyan's choice, but gradually he understood. He was willing to let Gu Shaoyan make his own choice. As long as he was happy, the old man would be content.
He hadn't seen his eldest grandson for more than three years. Looking at Gu Shaoyan's thin face, he felt very sad. "Shaoyan, I heard from your second uncle that you have met a girl you like, but she hasn't agreed to your pursuit yet. Then do your best. There is no deserter in my Gu family. I know you have had a hard time these years. If you don't want to inherit the title of the family, grandpa won't force you."
"I know your father doesn't like you, and you don't want to live in such a family. Since you want to stay in the army, stay there."
"After you leave, who should we choose as the successor to the family? Do you have any recommendations?"
"Grandpa, if we're talking about closeness, my stepmother's younger brother is closer to me, but his abilities and character aren't really worth recommending. My second uncle's son, Gu Heng, is both worthy of recognition for his character and talent."
"I agree with you, but he doesn't like being in the army and prefers politics. If we really want to choose one from among his many grandsons, he is the only one who can be the heir to the family head."
"Dad, Dad, something's wrong. After Gu Shaoyan came back, he went into Grandpa's study. I just overheard him. He recommended Gu Heng from my second uncle's family as the heir to the patriarch."
"I said Gu Shaoyan is an ungrateful person who can't be tamed. At the critical moment, he didn't recommend his own brother, but recommended an outsider instead."
Two snaps
"It's all because of you, bitch! If you hadn't been partial to your own son and treated Shaoyan harshly, how could the two brothers have become so estranged? The young master has been in the army for many years and has never wanted to come back to see me, his father. Doesn't that have anything to do with you?"
Looking at the angry Gu Tiannan, Cui Xiu didn't dare to say anything more.
Knock knock, there’s a knock on the door.
"Master, the general invites you to the study." It seems that the old man wants to inform everyone who the new heir to the family head is.
"No, Dad. You must help me become the heir to the family head, otherwise I will be laughed at by people in the circle."
"Gu Fei, stop making trouble. Don't you know how talented you are? I pushed you to the top, so how can others obey you?"
Looking at Gu Tiannan who was walking in front, Gu Fei's eyes were full of calculation.
"Gu Heng, even if you can become the heir to the family head, what good will it do? You are not the real family head. Do I still have a chance?"
"Ah Heng, everyone is saying now that you are the new heir to the family head. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"
"Dad, to be honest, I really don't want to be the heir to the family head, but for my eldest brother, I can only take on this burden. If Gu Fei becomes the heir to the family head, he will definitely not let us brothers go, especially his eldest brother."
Before leaving, Gu Shaoyan took the initiative to find Gu Heng. "Brother Heng, thank you. I understand. I know you don't have much in mind for the position of Patriarch, but I have my reasons for giving up the position of Patriarch."
"Brother, why are you saying such depressing things? Being the heir to the Gu family is a very prestigious thing. Didn't you see your brother is so jealous that he's completely unrecognizable?"
"Take care, Brother Heng"
"Take care, big brother. I hope you can catch your sister-in-law soon."
Huo Qiqi had never expected that so many things would happen in the Gu family in just two days.
"Gu Shaoyan, what can I say to you? Why bother? Why would you give up the position of heir to the family head? Am I really worthy of you doing this?"
"It's worth it. In fact, giving up the position of heir to the family head is not just because of you. I can't deny that you are my most important consideration."
"By the way, I won't ruin the atmosphere by saying anything. I'm going back to the army soon, so I might not be able to see you for a while. I came here just to say goodbye. My secret mission in Hai City is complete."
"Huo Qiqi, can we meet again in the future? Although I can't be the person you like, my love for you will never change."
"Gu Shaoyan, forever is too far away, so far away that neither you nor I know how to answer. Last time, I said that we are already friends, Gu Shaoyan."
Gu Shaoyan left a box and turned away.
Looking at Gu Shaoyan's somewhat lonely back.
Huo Qiqi didn't want such an outstanding person like Gu Shaoyan to fall into the whirlpool of emotions and be unable to extricate himself.
"Gu Shaoyan, please wait a moment. I have something else to say to you. I am very grateful that you like me, but I really have no plans to get married. It's not your fault, it's my own fault. You are very outstanding, and I sincerely hope that you can find your own happiness."
