Chapter 550: The Price
Gu Jingxu was silent for a while and hung up the phone.
After another two days, Fang Ling'er's health was better, and she was finally able to get out of bed and walk on her own, and the small wound began to scab over and heal, a little itchy.
She wanted to go home to cultivate, and after talking to Gu Xingzhi, Gu Xingzhi also agreed.
Soon Fang Ling'er was arranged to go home, what she didn't know was that because she made the Gu family have no big deal.
Gu Xingzhi is very busy, almost all the time is inseparable from the computer, although he is by Fang Ling'er's side, as long as he has time, his eyes are definitely on the computer.
Because she slept late at night, she didn't want to disturb Fang Ling'er, so she went to work in the next room after she fell asleep.
There have been many times like this, and Fang Ling'er also found out that something was wrong.
"Okay, if there is something wrong with the company, you can go over, I'm fine at home, and my health is much better." She looked at Gu Xingzhi, who was concentrating on work, and said.
Gu Xingzhi looked up from the computer screen at this time, there was tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed, he pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, and comforted her: "I'm fine, it's just that the company has a quarterly summary, and I have to be a little busy." ”
"You're going to work in the company." Fang Ling'er said with a face full of distress.
She saw that Gu Xingzhi was busy, and she had to take care of her personally, feeling uncomfortable but unable to do anything.
Gu Xingzhi didn't answer, his words were interrupted by a phone call, and after glancing at the caller, Gu Xingzhi walked out with his mobile phone.
"Gu Xingzhi." Gu Xingguo's majestic voice came from his mobile phone.
"Dad."
"You'll be back once in the next two days." Gu Xingguo's voice was faintly full of anger.
Gu Xingzhi only said yes, and Gu Xingguo over there immediately hung up the phone and didn't say much nonsense.
Gu Xingzhi naturally knew what Gu Xingguo was angry about, but he didn't say anything.
Went back to the room.
"What's wrong? Who's calling?" Fang Ling'er asked worriedly, she didn't miss the panic that Gu Xingzhi saw when she saw the matter.
She felt that something was really wrong this time, although she didn't know what was going on, there must be something bothering Gu Xingzhi.
Gu Xingzhi sat back on Fang Ling'er's bedside and said casually, "Dad asked me to go back in two days." ”
"I'm with you!" Fang Ling'er said it almost without thinking about it.
Speaking of which, she hadn't been to see Gu Xingguo for a long time.
Gu Xingzhi's face froze: "I'll take you there when you're well." ”
This was a refusal, but Fang Ling'er didn't want to listen to him like this, she vaguely felt that Gu Xingzhi had hidden something important from her.
"I'll go with you, Dad must miss me too." She paused for a moment and said firmly: "I'm almost in good health now, I can walk on the ground, and it doesn't affect me to go to see my father." ”
"Be obedient, I'll take you with me later." Gu Xingzhi frowned, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
For a while, Fang Ling'er felt that he was a lot older, obviously he was in his early thirties, and he had more energy, but Gu Xingzhi seemed to be hollowed out.
However, it is not normal for his workload not to be hollowed out.
After all, he is a business president, and he is tired like a dog every day, the more Fang Linger thinks about it, the more he feels uncomfortable, he is dragging him down.
"I'll go with you, and then I'll live at Dad's, and you will work hard in the company." Fang Ling'er said again.
She thought about it, she wouldn't worry too much about Gu Xingzhi in Gu Xingguo, and it was better to work hard when she returned to the company than to be busy at home
After that, take it easy.
Gu Xingzhi wanted to say something, but seeing the firmness in Fang Ling'er's eyes, he could only nod in agreement.
Fang Linger worked hard to nourish her body at home, and Gu Xingzhi was driven to work in the company by her.
Soon Gu Xingzhi was ready to take Fang Ling'er to see Gu Xingguo together, Fang Ling'er wore a white dress and stood in front of the mirror with a sad face.
The skirt is a sundress, both arms are exposed, there are some scabbed abrasions on the white arms, she touched her face again, and her face is even more miserable, but fortunately, the original red and swollen face has disappeared, and it is not so scary.
If she could, Fang Ling'er really wanted to wear a hat that covered her face to see Gu Xingguo.
"Ouch......" she sighed, changed into long-sleeved trousers, covered the wounds on her body, and draped her hair to cover the marks on her neck.
As for the face, she can't do anything about it, she is healing, and if she uses cosmetics, it will damage the skin.
Taking out the ointment that Gu Xingzhi gave her, Fang Ling'er carefully wiped it, screaming in pain from time to time.
Gu Xingzhi watched from the side, his eyes were cold.
"Alright, let's go." Fang Ling'er finally finished what she had to do, and then slowly walked to Gu Xingzhi's side and grabbed his arm.
"Let's go."
Above the car, Ling'er still didn't feel at ease and took out the makeup mirror to look at her face, left and right, she usually doesn't care so much, but now she is going to see the elders, is it too rude for her to look like this.
The car drove smoothly, and Gu Xingzhi sat next to Fang Ling'er, his eyes full of pampering.
"Okay, you think I can't even get a good face." Fang Ling'er was a little worried, in fact, she had a scar physique.
If the injury is somewhere else, forget it, it's a wound on the face, and she wants to go out to meet people, thinking that she will have to go out with a small injury on her face in the future, she is very distressed.
"It's good." Gu Xingzhi replied, suddenly a little absent-minded.
Fang Ling'er didn't ask any more questions, and continued to look in the mirror, sighing.
Soon arrived at the Gu family's halfway up the mountainside villa, and the car boy stepped forward to help Gu Xingzhi and Fang Ling'er open the door and invite them in.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, the housekeeper greeted him and said respectfully: "Third young master, third young lady." ”
"Hmm." Gu Xingzhi responded briefly.
The housekeeper glanced at Gu Xingzhi and then at Fang Ling'er, and said, "Third Young Master, the master is waiting for you in the study upstairs." ”
"Okay." Gu Xingzhi nodded, touched Fang Ling'er's head and said, "You stay in the living room first, and I'll come down soon." ”
"Uh-huh." Fang Ling'er nodded obediently and followed the housekeeper to the sofa on the side to watch TV.
And Gu Xingzhi followed the housekeeper to Gu Xingguo's study, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the study, he felt a familiar cold atmosphere.
Gu Xingguo was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his face was serious, his eyes were cold, and his pursed lips had a kind of anger.
Gu Xingguo only glanced at Gu Xing, and continued to look back at the information on his desk, and a hoarse voice sounded in the study: "Kneel!" ”
"Smack." Gu Xingzhi knelt on the cold marble floor like this, and the sound of bones and hard floors colliding was terrifying.
A man has gold under his knees, and kneeling on the ground is an insult to his dignity.
Gu Xingzhi is in his thirties, has a career and a family, and he shouldn't be like this again at his age, but this time he didn't complain at all, because he knew that he was indeed wrong.
Deathly silence.
Gu Xingguo was stingy and gave Gu Xingzhi another look, and Gu Xingzhi knelt on the ground, his body was straight, and his face was flat.
The two of them are incompatible, and there is no expression on Gu Xingzhi's handsome face, although he kneels on the ground, his momentum is not inferior to Gu Xingguo.
After a long time, Gu Xingguo spoke.
He took off his eyes, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes: "Because of your business, there is a problem with the Gu family, and you have made efforts to solve the problem." ”
"However, you know exactly how important that negotiation in the UK is, but you left without permission, and delayed until the end before handing over the task to Gu Jingxu."
Gu Xingguo said slowly, his words were very cold, and he didn't mean to blame, he was just briefly describing the situation.
Gu Xingzhi listened carefully, he didn't want to say anything, Gu Xingguo knew everything.
Even he knew that he left suddenly in order to go to Fang Ling'er, but this was not a reason why he couldn't handle things well.
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished." Gu Xingguo has never punished Gu Xingzhi.
It should be said that he has never punished his children, because they have been surprisingly obedient since they were children, and their studies and work have never worried him.
But it doesn't mean that the Gu family doesn't have family laws.
Gu Xingzhi nodded.
Gu Xingguo got up and took out a brown python skin whip from the bookcase in the study, he was still old and strong, and he threw it off the ground with the leather whip, and a crisp voice sounded.
Then he took the whip and walked directly behind Gu Xingzhi, who was kneeling on the ground and straightened up fearlessly, raised his hand and slammed it hard!
"Hmm." Gu Xingzhi has always been able to endure it, but he snorted when he was thrown by this whip, but soon he knelt straight again, as if he had not been beaten at all, but the expression on his face was slightly pale.
"Smack!" Gu Xingguo didn't stop at all, and then another whip.
Watching TV downstairs, Fang Ling'er heard a crisp whipping sound, and stood up and looked upstairs to the study, with a puzzled face.
The snapping voice made her tremble and puzzled.
The housekeeper stood beside her with a posture of wanting to stop her, and Fang Ling'er didn't know why.
"What's going on upstairs?" She asked with a frown, her heart pounding rapidly.
The housekeeper bowed his head: "I don't know, please stay here." ”
"Stay here?" The housekeeper's retention made Fang Ling'er always feel that something had happened.
She bypassed the butler and wanted to go upstairs, but the butler immediately stopped in front of her and made a gesture of please: "Please stay here." ”
Fang Ling'er was a little annoyed when she was stopped, the rapid beating of her heart made her feel very uncomfortable, and the loud hitting sound seemed to hit her.
She frowned and tried to get around, but each time she was stopped by the butler and told her to stay here.
"Get out of the way!" She shouted in annoyance, and as soon as the words fell, there was another clear sound.
She froze in place, waited for a while, the voice didn't sound again, and looked at the housekeeper again, Fang Ling'er directly bypassed him and looked at him with an extremely angry gaze.
This time, the housekeeper lowered his head in embarrassment and did not stop again, allowing Fang Ling'er to run up quickly.
Fang Ling'er was very sure that the voices just now were all coming from Gu Xingguo's study.
As for what happened inside, she didn't know yet, standing at the door, she knocked on the door a few times anxiously, and then Fang Ling'er pushed the door in when she heard Gu Xingguo say to enter.
