Chapter 53: The truth is imminent
Xu Dong suggested that the people of the Gu Mansion had better take the old man to Yunjitang to recuperate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yunjitang has a special convalescent room and professional medical staff, so it is more convenient to treat.
Gu Wanyan agreed, so she and Gu Mo personally sent the old man whose consciousness was still unclear to Yunji Hall.
Then another five days passed, and Madame still did not return.
Gu Wanyan was lying alone by the window in the room, staring blankly at the clear blue sky, not knowing what she was thinking. The scenery outside the window was so beautiful, but she didn't have the heart to look at the scenery, just looked at the sky aimlessly.
Then with a creak of the door, Gu Mo came in with a stack of account books.
Gu Wanyan turned around slowly, and when she saw Gu Mo, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why did you come back so early?"
Gu Mo nodded, spread out the account book in his hand and put it on the table, and said, "I have already approved the production funds for the new batch of goods, and then they will be." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the account books on the table: "I want to read them carefully one by one to see if there are any mistakes." β
Gu Wanyan got up silently, walked over, and couldn't help frowning after looking down: "So many." β
Gu Mo nodded seriously, not daring to take it lightly and said, "I don't know if Liu Fengxian has done anything in these account books, and I must check it carefully." β
Gu Wanyan asked, "What about the problematic one?"
Gu Mo said: "There is a ripped copy here for me, which was given to me by Liu Fengxian. The originals are still with her. β
Gu Wanyan sighed heavily, and her brows unconsciously twisted: "What can we do, in case my father hears about the loss of the Dongcheng store as soon as he recovers and returns home, how should we face him." β
Gu Mo knew that the burden on Gu Wanyan's shoulders was not lighter than any man in this Gu Mansion, and he was both worried and pitiful in his heart. He gently held Gu Wanyan's shoulder: "Don't worry, Liu Fengxian's purpose is to bring down the Gu Mansion." Now if you can drag it out, there will be a way. I don't think she'll be reckless for the time being. β
Gu Wanyan leaned into Gu Mo's arms, closed her eyes tiredly and said in a deep voice: "Gu Mo, why hasn't my mother gone home yet." β
Gu Mo listened, his face moved slightly, and then his heart became entangled and contradictory.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "I have something to tell you." β
Gu Wanyan heard Gu Mo's tone suddenly become a little serious, so she lifted her head from his arms and asked strangely, "What?"
Gu Mo pursed his lips silently and said, "The five stores of Gu's jewelry in other places are gone. β
Gu Wanyan was immediately stunned when she heard this, and then asked with some amusement: "What did you say, Gu Mo, are you joking with me?"
Gu Mo shook his head lightly, his eyebrows frowning slightly: "No, it's true." β
This is the news that Gu Mo just received in the morning.
Gu Wanyan subconsciously grabbed Gu Mo's hand, stared at his eyes and asked in a panic, "Which five?
Gu Mo reported the names of the five towns in turn, and the more Gu Wanyan listened, the more familiar she felt that these five places were familiarβand then she thought about it carefully, and immediately understood something.....
"You take these title deeds first, and then here are the lord's seals. β
The words that Madame had spoken to her that day reappeared in her mind over and over again.
Gu Mo looked at her distracted appearance and said, "I probably don't need to say anything about the next, you must have thought of it." β
As she was speaking, Gu Wanyan shook her head violently, trying her best to deny Gu Mo's words: "No.....!
Gu Mo resolutely interrupted her: "Gu Wanyan, you are too naΓ―ve. If so, is it not easy for her to take the deed to her own name?"
Gu Wanyan still couldn't believe it, she trembled slightly and clenched Gu Mo's hand, and said firmly: "No...... If my mother really wanted to take away these five stores, why didn't she change the name of the deed to hers when she was in charge of her own house? Why did she have to go through me and toss twice to reach her goal?"
Gu Mo patiently explained: "Gu Wanyan, why did you become so stupid at a critical time. When the mother is in charge of her own house, if she directly changes the name of the deed to her own, the risk is too great, and the chance of being discovered by the master is very high. But through you, first blatantly transfer the title deeds to your name, and then everyone thinks that these five properties are all over the place, and no one will expect her to make an extra move. β
Gu Mo said everything reasonably, and Gu Wanyan was dumbfounded when he arrived.
Then she sat down slowly in a trance, trying to sort out the ins and outs of the matter. But the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and she only muttered, "Impossible...... Impossible...... Mother is not such a person...... What is she doing this for?"
Gu Mo shook his head: "For what, only she knows." β
Gu Wanyan choked for a moment, then raised her head to cover her face to prevent sad tears from flowing: "Mother is such a good person, she will definitely not...... She must have something to worry about. β
Gu Mo looked at her and shook his head a little sadly-it seemed that he had guessed correctly all along, Madame had always been in a unique position in Gu Wanyan's heart. Gu Wanyan respects her unconditionally and believes in her. However, Gu Mo couldn't be soft-hearted, and it was not necessarily a good thing to keep letting Gu Wanyan be deceived by illusions in order not to make her feel sad. Gu Wanyan has always been in a circle-inside the circle is dazzling and bright flowers, but outside the circle is shrouded by dark clouds, but she is in the circle and knows nothing.
He had to pull her out with all his heart and make her see the facts. Gu Wanyan has been in the Gu Mansion for so many years, working hard and paying for the Gu Mansion and the jewelry store, and this kindness should be repaid to some extent. Kindness does not mean that values must deviate from the right direction, and kindness also requires a clear distinction between right and wrong.
Gu Mo didn't answer Gu Wanyan's words, but said coldly: "Gu Wanyan, you come with me." β
Gu Wanyan put down her hand and looked at Gu Mo in confusion: "Where are you going?"
Gu Mo didn't say a word, and pulled her up.
Out of the gate of Gu's mansion, Gu Mo did not lead the horse, but pulled Gu Wanyan to walk north.
Gu Wanyan was dragged by Gu Mo, and she didn't know what he was going to do in her mind, although she thought so, she still followed his footsteps.
The two of them walked quickly to the place close to the northern suburbs, and Gu Mo led her through a sheep intestine path again, Gu Wanyan was still silent.
After crossing one path after another, Gu Mo finally stopped at the door of a bungalow.
Gu Wanyan was already a little out of breath after she stopped, and she looked at the bungalow in front of her while panting - this bungalow looked very old and inconspicuous, probably a commoner's home.
"You-" Gu Wanyan stroked her undulating chest with her hand and paused, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Mo was very calm, and his breath was not chaotic at all. After he looked down at Gu Wanyan, he was about to say something, when he saw the wooden door of the bungalow open, and a person came out of it.
Gu Wanyan glanced at the person first, thinking that she was wrong, so she rubbed her eyes repeatedly-
After confirming that he was not hallucinating and did not look away, Gu Wanyan was shocked! That was not Cheng Yong, who used to be a nurse in the Gu Mansion, who was it?
Cheng Yong was holding a wooden barrel in his hand, and the moment he saw Gu Mo and Gu Wanyan, he also stopped in surprise in place.
"Second son...... Two...... The second wife ...... "As soon as Gu Wanyan saw this person, she subconsciously shrank behind Gu Mo and looked at Cheng Yong vigilantly.
Gu Wanyan's mind was full of questions. Why did Gu Mo bring her here, and why did he see Cheng Yong here?
Who knows, then Gu Mo said to Cheng Yong lightly: "Is everything okay recently?"
Gu Wanyan raised her head and looked at Gu Mo in shock, her hands tightly clutching the corners of his dark blue clothes.
