Chapter 248: The so-called family family
Seeing that Gu Ziyan had something in her heart, she also counted the rice in the bowl one by one Zhao Fan thought for a while, Zhao Fan looked at her and said: If the people of your Gu family do something to me, what should I do?"
This is a very real problem, since someone intercepted and killed on the highway, Gu Ziyan's so-called secrecy is naturally a joke, and now Zhao Fan has no heart to blame her.
Gu Ziyan gently put down the bowl, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If my grandfather's body can recover, all of them will have to pay the price they deserve!"
Then she smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Zhao Fan sincerely and said, "But if even you can't cure my grandfather's illness, then I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself." So you still have to grasp this balance. You don't need to think about me, as a child of the Gu family, you will face these things one day. In addition to curing my grandfather, it is also my greatest wish not to implicate you. ”
"Gu family, what do you do? What are you fighting for now is the so-called position of the head of the family? For a family, isn't it who has a higher position and whose strength is stronger, so naturally they have more right to speak?
Zhao Fan didn't know a little about these things, and he couldn't eat them anyway, so he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked with some doubts.
"Many of these families in the capital have continued from countless dynasties to the present, and they have a profound heritage, how can there be any absolute status? Take our Gu family as an example, my grandfather followed Taizu to conquer the world and accumulated strong capital. After decades of development, the Gu family is now at the top of the pyramid in the military, politics and business. Which of my uncles, including my father, is not in charge?"
But the Gu family has continued for so many years, and they have also realized the so-called survival fundamentals, and feel that only with enough power can a family continue to be strong. ”
"My grandfather and his old man have made a lot of arrangements for the heir over the years, and once he falls, these things will fall into the hands of the next generation of the Gu family. ”
"If my guess is correct, what Grandpa left behind is a powerful political capital. Those old friends of his are all involved in both prosperity and loss with the Gu family, and they will not watch the Gu family fall because of his death. With this capital, you can rise to the top in the political arena, and once you have strong power, what else can't you get?"
"When he was in good health, my uncles got along with each other. Since he fell ill, the atmosphere in the house has long since changed from what it used to be. ”
"Grandpa actually understands it very well in his heart, so he basically doesn't contact me for more than a year, and rarely mentions me. He was there to protect me and not to let me get the attention of those uncles. ”
"But these days he always calls my name when he sleeps, and he is an old man, and he may really be no longer good. ”
Gu Ziyan looked out the window leisurely, and said some secrets of the big family in a calm tone. At the mention of her grandfather's condition, her eyes unconsciously turned red and tears fell again.
"Okay, since it's been decided, if there's nothing to do this afternoon, I'll accompany you to take a look! The longer the delay, the more prepared the other party will be, and the more troublesome it will be. ”
Zhao Fan took out a tissue and handed it to her, nodding slightly.
Although he didn't participate in Mu Qingya's dinner, he had a detective technique, and he probably knew what they said.
Today's meeting was only a brief mutual understanding, and both sides had a superficial taste and did not have in-depth discussions. And although the Mu Group has arranged for someone to come and contact this side in advance, Mu Qingya's secretary team will not be able to arrive until later.
Before leaving, Zhao Fan knew that this matter could not be solved in three or two days, but he was not in a hurry. Now that Mu Qingya is in the heavily defended military zone, his escort task is much easier, and he doesn't need to stay here all the time.
After lunch, Mu's Group arrived in advance, and several staff members also arrived here. Mu Qingya wanted to know something about them about the situation, so Zhao Fan also said hello to her and left here with Gu Ziyan.
Beijing is the political and economic center of the whole of China, and compared with the third-tier city of Xiling City, its prosperity is naturally needless to say.
Although she knew that the so-called secrecy might no longer have any meaning, Gu Ziyan still did not contact someone from the Gu family to pick them up. The two walked a distance, took a taxi, and rushed to Gu's house.
Yuanyuan, this is where the old man of the Gu family is.
When he first got in the car, the taxi driver kept peeking at Gu Ziyan, and when he looked at Zhao Fan, who was dressed ordinarily, he held his head high, with a bit of the inexplicable superiority of people in Beijing.
But after listening to her calmly report the name of the place, her expression suddenly changed at this time, and she sat in a precarious position all the way, and the car drove extremely smoothly. The taxi driver in the capital, who is known for his ability, didn't say a word about the weirdness along the way.
Needless to say in that direction, not to mention that street, simply say two words, and the taxi driver can find the place directly. A casual detail can see what kind of existence the Gu family is.
勖, this word is pronounced the same as "continued", the meaning of reluctance.
In the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, the Gu family has a garden like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, in which there are countless small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and rockeries.
And Zhao Fan and Gu Ziyan still came in through the back door. He took a look at it with his exploration technique, and estimated in his heart that this garden covered an area of at least thirty acres.
Even though it was the back door, there were still two young men with resolute faces guarding it like soldiers. However, they all knew Gu Ziyan, and when they saw her come back, they saluted respectfully and said hello.
As soon as the two of them were about to go in to report, they were stopped by Gu Ziyan.
With Gu Ziyan's apologetic smile, they examined Zhao Fan very carefully, and after making sure that he was not carrying any offensive weapons, they let the two of them into the garden.
The garden is very large and the scenery is beautiful, but it seems a little deserted, and there is no sign of inhabitation in the courtyards and wings.
There was only one small attic in the courtyard below which there was this group of men and women talking to each other, and around this little attic there were more than twenty young men with strong faces who were guarding.
Needless to say, this small attic is where Gu Peixun lives.
Gu Ziyan's so-called secret treatment is really a bit whimsical.
Maybe it's bad luck, the situation of Old Man Gu Peixun has become a little less optimistic these days, and the people of the Gu family have paid more attention to the night here.
It's not deliberate, after reading their mouth shapes, Zhao Fan also knows that this group of people are all Gu Peixun's descendants.
These people, whether men or women, have a kind of prestige that has been in a high position for a long time, although their clothes do not look eye-catching, but the well-informed Zhao Fan can see at a glance that any thing on them is an internationally renowned brand.
The outfit on any one of these people, if converted into Huaxia currency, is enough for an ordinary family to spend a few years.
Zhao Fan still saw the old man in the attic, who was already skinny, with high cheekbones on his face, in this case, his already long eyebrows, and even had a feeling that he could be raised by the wind.
The spacious, decorated antique bedroom was filled with all kinds of medical instruments, and a few doctor-looking people should have finished the examination, all with bitter faces, looking at the pile of test results on the square table in the lounge area in the corner of the bedroom, occasionally shaking their heads gently.
This old man's condition is indeed very unoptimistic, and even his breathing is a little weak.
But the people outside the attic were not as nervous as they imagined.
They seem to be very relaxed, and the topics they talk about are indeed very lofty to ordinary people, from the international situation to the domestic economy, every sentence taken out may be a secret that many people will not have access to in their lifetime.
After walking through the winding corridor for more than ten minutes, Gu Ziyan also saw those people in the courtyard. With a moving expression, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Fan, who was walking side by side with him, with a little hesitation and anger on his face.
"I can't hide from it, I'm afraid that your grandfather's situation is already in danger, and these people will always stay here. ”
Zhao Fan knew what Gu Ziyan was thinking, shook his head gently, and said calmly.
"Grandpa didn't really love any of them all these years, for fear that they would be wronged a little, why did they end up with such an ending? How could they be so ruthless?
Gu Ziyan looked at the group of people's eyebrows fluttering, her fists clenched, her face was pale, and she was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"At this point, what's the point of whining like this? Why don't you take me over to show your grandfather?"
Zhao Fan already knew his identity and knew that he was related to the Zhao family in the capital. But the first contact with the Zhao family other than the old man was a fight.
Seeing this scene of the Gu family at this moment, I didn't have much good impression of this kind of family in my heart. He was even a little glad that the Zhao family's hostility towards him made him have no good impression of this family, so he didn't have to bother with this kind of bullshit.
There is a saying in small households that there is no filial son after a long illness.
And the Gu family, a family whose interests are paramount, is needless to say.
An old man who was dying, in their eyes was nothing more than a pile of wealth, waited for him to take his last breath and then eat his bones like a wild beast.
"You'll be able to heal him!"
Gu Ziyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took Zhao Fan to stride towards the attic.
"Yo, Ziyan, when are you coming back? Why don't you say hello in advance, the third aunt will arrange someone to pick you up!"
A group of people heard the movement here, and all of their eyes looked at this side.
A middle-aged woman wearing an emerald green cheongsam with short hair in a shawl squinted at Gu Ziyan, looking concerned, but her tone was full of perfunctory, and she couldn't hear the slightest sincerity.
"Zi Yan, what's the matter with you? Why did you bring an outsider to the garden? After going out for a while, you don't even understand the rules?"
A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face glanced at Zhao Fan coldly, his face was layered, he looked at Gu Ziyan and said coldly.
"The old man's favorite thing is your granddaughter, and now that he is sick, you have run out into the wild, which is really chilling!"
A woman in a beige cheongsam was obviously smiling and talking to the people around her about her plans to travel to Europe, but after seeing Gu Ziyan at this time, she was full of truth.
The man's thin lips were painted with bright red lipstick, his cheekbones were bulging, and he looked mean, and his mouth was full of cynicism.
