Chapter 024: Incompatible with the Gu Family
The fact that a woman appeared in Gu Xiaoran's office was rumored to the Gu family the next day, and Gu Shengming, the old man of Gu, was furious when he found out.
As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Qinghe sent the information to Gu Xiaoran.
"Young master, the old man asked you to go home tonight, saying that the old lady came back from abroad today and wanted the family to have a reunion dinner."
Gu Xiaoran was busy approving a document, and when he heard this, he raised his head from the document, his eyebrows were cold, and he asked lightly: "Why didn't he call me directly?" ”
"He knows what happened yesterday, and he is probably afraid of quarreling with you, so he asked me to tell you directly."
Gu Xiaoran rubbed his temples, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a grim smile: "Isn't it just right to know?" He thinks he can control everybody, and I'm out of his control, you say, what will happen to him? ”
Speaking of Gu Shengming, Qinghe's temples jumped wildly.
Back then, the marriage assigned to the eldest young master Gu Zining should have belonged to Gu Xiaoran, but because Gu Xiaoran escaped, at the engagement banquet, Old Man Gu forcibly arrested Gu Zining and facilitated his marriage with Meng Yunxin.
The eldest young master has a soft temperament, so although he has only been engaged all these years, the old man has not stared at him anymore, but Gu Xiaoran, after returning from studying abroad, quickly took over Fenghua Group, and the next most important thing is, of course, marriage.
"Although the old man's health has not been good over the years, his ability has not diminished back then, Qinghe, send someone to keep an eye on it, don't ask him to find out Su Xiaoqing, otherwise with Su Xiaoqing's elm head, the Su family alone will not be able to cope with it, let alone the old man."
---
The Jinshan villa area of City A gathers the best mansions in City A, and the old house of the Gu family is built here.
The once quiet resort is now gradually becoming lively, but the two Gu family are nostalgic for the old, so they have never moved out of here.
As soon as night fell, the silver Rolls-Royce slowly docked in front of the retro-style villa, the car door opened, Gu Xiaoran got out of the car, held the key, and went to the villa.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a servant hurriedly greeted him, bent down and said, "Second young master, the old man instructed you to park your car in the underground garage, and then go directly to the study to find him." ”
Gu Xiaoran played with the key in his hand and said unhappily: "I want to go back after dinner, and the car will be parked there." ”
The maid didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly followed Gu Xiaoran into the door.
There were more than a dozen servants and several bodyguards in the Gu family, and when they saw that Gu Xiaoran was back, they avoided it one after another.
All the way to Gu Shengming's study, the door was open, facing the window of the door, there was an elderly rattan chair, an elderly man was sitting on it, the face of the old dragon clock, wearing thick reading glasses, at this moment, he closed his eyes, looking peaceful.
If you just look at the appearance, everyone will think that this is a kind old man, but ......
"Finally willing to come back?" Hearing someone coming in, Gu Shengming opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Gu Xiaoran, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Gu Xiaoran hesitated for a moment, and said as he entered the door: "I didn't plan to come back, but grandma is back, come and visit." ”
After hearing this, Gu Shengming's face was impassive, but his tone was a little dissatisfied, "You wish that my old man would return to the west quickly, you can't see it, right?" ”
The corners of Gu Xiaoran's mouth pursed slightly, and he casually picked up a piece of calligraphy and painting from the desk, and asked, "Big brother is not coming back?" Where's Grandma? ”
Gu Shengming snorted coldly and replied, "Your sister-in-law is also back, and they are all talking in your grandmother's room." ”
Gu Xiaoran put down his calligraphy and paintings, turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Gu Shengming stood up, leaned on crutches with one hand, and called Gu Xiaoran, "Who is that woman?" ”
Gu Xiaoran stopped, turned to look at Gu Shengming, and asked indifferently, "Which woman?" ”
Gu Shengming lifted his crutches, slammed it on the ground, and said angrily: "For so many years, you have been refusing the blind date I arranged for you, pretending to have no desires, but how could you bring her to the president's office in front of so many people in the company?" Make everyone in the company know about it! What are you? ”
He really called himself back for this.
Gu Xiaoran hooked the corners of his mouth, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Grandpa, you are old, just do Tai Chi every day, plant flowers and plants, which woman your grandson wants to take to the office, you don't care, you have been your heart all your life."
Gu Shengming was furious, picked up his crutches and was about to smash it at Gu Xiaoran, but fortunately, someone behind him pulled Gu Xiaoran over in time.
"Grandpa, I'm so angry, Ah Ran finally went home once, he's such a big person, and he's the new president, if you hurt him, how can he go to the company?" A clear and gentle voice sounded behind itself.
Gu Xiaoran turned around and saw that it was the eldest brother he hadn't seen for a long time - Gu Zining.
Gu Zining is Gu Xiaoran's eldest brother, not long after the year of his establishment, the youngest promising professor in the history of City A Business School, although he has a fiancée, but with his handsome appearance and profound knowledge, how many girls are still crazy about it.
Gu Xiaoran came back to his senses, looked at his eldest brother, who was about the same height as himself, nodded and said hello lightly, turned around and walked out.
The corners of Gu Zining's mouth twitched lightly and followed.
Outside the door, there stood a woman with gorgeous hair but elegant manners, she was wearing a blue cheongsam, holding a shawl, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, and she looked at Gu Xiaoran kindly.
This old woman is Gu Xiaoran's grandmother - Lu Wen.
"Grandma, you've been tired all the way." Gu Xiaoran stepped forward and hugged Lu Wen and said sincerely.
Lu Wen also hugged Gu Xiaoran back, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, Ah Ran has grown up." ”
"Grown up? Can you still be so virtuous when you grow up? A person who really grows up will not repeatedly disobey his elders, I think he owes a lesson, so he should be thrown into the army when he was a child! Gu Shengming's angry voice sounded in the room again.
"Okay, okay, give me a few words, I'm a lot older, why are you still so annoying?" Lu Wen glared twice into the room and pulled Gu Xiaoran downstairs.
"Ah Ran, don't bother with your grandfather, he is arrogant and wants to meddle in everything. Grandma is back, and if there is something in the future, grandma will take care of it for you, and she will be angry with the old man......"
"Get out! Get out of here! There was a crackling sound behind him, and you didn't need to look at it to know that Gu Shengming must have broken a lot of good things.
Gu Zining glanced at the study twice, and was about to go downstairs, when a gentle voice came from behind him: "Zining, grandpa is so angry, why don't you go in to persuade him?" ”
Looking back, it was Gu Zining's fiancée, Meng Yunxin, who was supposed to be Gu Xiaoran's fiancée, but Gu Xiaoran escaped from the engagement banquet at the beginning, so she became his fiancée......
Gu Zining frowned and looked at Meng Yunxin, she was wearing a smoked pink dress today, with light makeup and slightly curly flaxen-colored hair, the whole person looked beautiful and atmospheric, but the feeling of weakness she deliberately revealed made Gu Zining a little uncomfortable.
After tidying up his shirt, Gu Zining looked straight at Meng Yunxin's eyes with a soft smile on his face, and said: "The old man is angry now, to persuade him is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, if you have nothing to do, go and talk to grandma for a while, she seems to have changed her attitude towards you, if you want to marry into the Gu family smoothly, shouldn't you please her?" ”
"Zining, ...... you" Meng Yunxin frowned, her delicate face a little distorted.
"That's it! It's rare for Grandma and Ah Ran to go home to eat together at the same time, let's go downstairs! Gu Zining glanced at Meng Yunxin's nervous face lightly, laughed softly, reached out to grab Meng Yunxin's wrist, and led her downstairs.
Meng Yunxin felt Gu Zining's breath rushing to her face, and she was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't refuse.
In the spacious and gorgeous dining room, Gu Xiaoran sat on a chair, crossed his legs, holding his mobile phone in his hand, his fingers kept tapping on the mobile phone screen, and his eyes were soft.
"Ah Ran?" Meng Yunxin walked to the dining table, pulled the hair on her forehead crampedly, showed a sweet smile, and greeted Gu Xiaoran.
Gu Xiaoran raised his head and glanced at Meng Yunxin, and met her smile, he frowned, put away his mobile phone, and nodded to say hello: "Sister-in-law." ”
A trace of injury flashed in Meng Yunxin's eyes, but soon, she recovered, pulled out a chair with a smile, and sat opposite Gu Xiaoran.
"No rules......" a whispered rebuke came from the side.
"Grandma!" Gu Zining then pulled away a chair next to Meng Yunxin, sat down, raised his hand to pour a cup of fruit tea for Lu Wen, and said with a light smile: "It's hard work to catch such a long flight." ”
Lu Wenpi glanced at Meng Yunxin with a smile, reached out and took the fruit tea handed over by Gu Zining, and took a sip, "It's hard to talk about, as soon as grandma sees you and Ah Ran, it's like being beaten with chicken blood, and the whole person is in good spirits, but it's just ......" She turned her eyes to Meng Yunxin, politely a lot, and said, "Shouldn't Miss Meng study abroad?" Why do you have time to come to our house for dinner today? ”
Meng Yunxin sat awkwardly, a little nervous, so she had to smile and say, "Grandma, you forgot again, I finished my studies a year ago, and now I have started working." Grandpa called me yesterday and said that grandma was back and asked me to come over and have a reunion dinner together as a family. ”
"Oh......" Lu Wen's face was not very good, she lengthened her tone, put down the teacup in her hand, and turned her head sideways to talk to Gu Zining and Gu Xiaoran.
Gu Xiaoran's parents Gu Anwen and Chen Wanyi were helping to cook in the kitchen, Gu Shengming was sulking in the study again, and Meng Yunxin was sitting at the dining table alone, so quiet, so out of place, she suddenly felt full of grievances.
Back then, Old Man Gu and his grandfather unanimously discussed that she would be the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family, but she didn't agree to it, but when she saw Gu Xiao, she agreed without thinking about it, but on the day of the engagement banquet, what she got was the news that Gu Xiaoran went abroad in a negative mood, no way, under the arrangement of Old Man Gu, she became Gu Zining's fiancée.
Gu Zining, on weekdays, is like a glass of warm water, in addition to being good-looking and gentle, where can he compare to Gu Xiaoran?
However, Gu Xiaoran didn't care about himself at all, and even, apart from knowing that he was his sister-in-law, he didn't care about her at all......
