When Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian came out again, the two brothers were full of confidence. Gu Nansheng was holding a tablet in his hand, while Gu Nanyu was sitting in a chair, slowly drinking tea.
Upon seeing the two men emerge, the two brothers quickly stood up.
"Sister, we've figured it out!" Her heterochromatic eyes were full of excitement as she nudged Gu Nansheng beside her with her elbow and gave him a knowing look.
Gu Nansheng was quick to follow suit, "We guess Bai Tu's other illegitimate son is him!" He handed the tablet to Gu Nanyan to look at.
Gu Nansheng's tone lacked the respect that should have been given to Bai Tu, one of the nine elders of the imperial capital.
Gu Nansheng naturally despised people from the Gu family who were known for their romantic nature.
Gu Nanyan only reminded him, "Be careful outside." After pulling Shen Beian to sit down, he tilted his head to look at the person on the screen.
Who else could that blond, blue-eyed, refined young man be but Arnor?!
"Why?" Gu Nanyan took the tea that Gu Nanyu handed him, without saying whether it was yes or no.
His tone was clear and crisp, like a gentle stream.
Gu Nanyu and Gu Nansheng have already found the answer in this.
If it weren't for this person, Gu Nanyan would be saying, "After searching for so long, this is the last thing I found?"
Moreover, the tone should be somewhat sarcastic.
Don't ask, the answer is that I've been ridiculed too much.
It's all tears when I talk about it.
"Based on what my sister said, Sheng-ge and I found eight suitable candidates, and then selected those who had connections with the Empire. I found that only Arnor received a package from the Empire some time ago. And, if I remember correctly, Arnor's birthday is in the next few days."
Gu Nanyu looked at Gu Nanyan with his eyes full of praise.
“So, sister, it’s Arnor Jones, right?” Gu Nansheng chimed in.
"Yes, it's him." Gu Nanyan took a sip of tea. "So I don't need to teach you what to do next."
His tone was very soft and calm.
Shen Beian picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it slowly. "But from a profit perspective, the Helian family shouldn't give up on Elder Bai, right?"
Bai Tu and Qing Ran have a "teacher-student relationship" over there. Since ancient times, the teacher-student relationship has been a very peculiar one.
Because of this relationship, Bai Tu has been helping Qing Ran in his political career, and no one has said anything about it.
The Helian family members were naturally firmly tied to Qingran.
Not to mention Arnor.
One of the original elders of 711, and also the vice leader of the Fuyun Island Medical Alliance.
Furthermore, Madam Helian Qi had already passed away.
Among these powerful families, which one doesn't prioritize profit?
How could the Helian family possibly turn against Elder Bai?
This is a principle that even a parasite like Shen Bei'an, a "stay-at-home dad" who only thinks about having fun all day, knows. How could they not know it?
“Brother-in-law, we don’t need to completely break up. All we need is a word.” Gu Nanyu turned to Shen Beian and explained, “Besides, the most advantageous person to take over the Helian family right now is Helian Yunzhi. Her grandmother is the Fifth Madam of Helian, and she and the Seventh Madam of Helian are like sisters. Their relationship couldn’t be better.”
The Helian family is similar to the Qin family in that it also has a lot of illegitimate children.
The eldest son of the Helian family was born to the old master's first wife. The fifth and seventh sons were born to the old master's second wife, and the rest were born to his mistresses.
Therefore, the direct descendants of the Helian family are the first, fifth, and seventh branches.
The seventh branch of the family did not produce any offspring, leaving only the first and fifth branches.
The relationship between the eldest and fifth wives has always been strained, which is no secret in Xihua City.
The current heir of the Helian family is the eldest daughter of the fifth branch, and Madam Helian the Fifth often mentions her younger sister to the younger generation.
Helian Yunzhi was essentially sent up by Gu Nanyi. If Helian Yunzhi really inherits the Helian family in the future...
Bai Tu and Qing Ran are actually a burden to the Helian family.
Helian Yunzhi surely knew the principle that a servant should not serve two masters.
Shen Bei'an immediately understood and sighed, "For old stories to still be brought up, wouldn't Bai Tu be considered to have lost his integrity in his old age?"
There are naturally no chaste and virtuous women or men in this world.
However, Bai Tu's long-term chastity for his wife reflects more of his affection and temperament.
It was precisely because of his reputation that many students were drawn to study under him, and as a result, the Helian family always helped him rise through the ranks.
But if it were revealed that he already had an illegitimate child, it would have been while Madam Helian Qi was still alive.
Bai Tu's reputation is now completely ruined.
The impact on Qingran is estimated to be significant as well.
"I will mention it, but not now." Gu Nanyan handed the flower tea to Shen Bei'an. "One piece is enough. We'll be having dinner soon."
He picked up the plate of osmanthus cakes and said, "Give it to the young master of the Wen family." He handed it to Gu Nanyu.
Gu Nanyu didn't understand why he had to start taking care of that little girl.
No, she's not exactly a little girl; she's about my age.
She looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, probably because of all those weird drugs in her body.
"Let Zimo take a look at her. We should return a relatively healthy younger sister to Young Master Wen." Gu Nanyan looked at Gu Nanyu with tenderness in his eyes.
The bond between sisters of the same sex is often closer than that between sisters of different sexes, especially among sisters.
Gu Nanyan himself does not have a younger sister from the same parents, but Ziya Jingmo does. Ziya Jingmo is the seventh young master of the Ziya family. His younger sister is about to come of age and is currently studying for a medical master's degree at Peking University. If nothing unexpected happens, she will also enter the Shouwu Research Institute in the future.
When Ziya Jingmo chatted with his classmates, he often mentioned his younger sister, and he was always very proud of her.
"Mm." Gu Nanyu responded softly, hoping that Sister Mo could cure her.
"You should also keep an eye on things." The children of the Gu family have all learned a little about medicine or poisons.
The children of the Gu family have been taking medicinal baths since they were young, and their physical functions are much better than those of ordinary people.
Similarly, pharmacy and medicine are two additional courses that the young master of the Gu family has to take compared to the young masters of other families.
When he was young, the young master of the Gu family was poisoned by his own parents quite a few times.
The most typical example is the handsome young master Gu, who was poisoned by his own father when he was young, turning his head into a pig's head.
He stayed in the pharmacy for a full seven days until he was cured before he could go out to see people. During that time, all his food was placed at his door by a designated person.
"I know~" Gu Nanyu also cared about Wen Shiyi to some extent; no one had ever said he was a good person before!
Gu Nansheng stood up casually. "Sister, I'll have dinner here." He said it seemingly unintentionally.
"You'll get your share. Xiao Qi will be returning to China to help An'an manage the Sprout Foundation. Are you planning to stay here and support Yu-ge, or go back to China?"
As the eldest grandson of the third branch of the family, Gu Nanman naturally had to stay on Fuyun Island, but Gu Nansheng was different.
