Chapter 463: A Sudden Apology
Walking into the living room, Ning Xi saw the old man sitting on the sofa at a glance, and couldn't help but be taken aback.
In her impression, although Old Man Gu is over seventy years old, his body and spirit are very good, especially the kind of momentum that is not angry and self-threatening, he does not look like an old man at all.
However, at this time, the old man sitting there had thin cheeks, high cheekbones, and a back that was not as straight as before, and he really looked like an old man.
Seeing them come in, Old Man Gu stood up, looked at Ning Xi with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound.
Gu Tingjun took Ning Xi's hand and walked over: "Grandpa, I brought you back your granddaughter-in-law, don't lose it for me again." ”
Old Man Gu was a little embarrassed when he said this, but Gu Guohua on the side opened his mouth to reprimand: "Stinky boy, how can you talk to grandpa?" Dad, Xiaoxi finally came to visit, and we won't say anything unhappy about the New Year. ”
Old Man Gu glared at his son and grandson angrily, everyone thought he would make things difficult for Ning Xi, didn't he?
Although he did target Ning Xi before, at that time, he didn't know that Ning Xi was a girl, so he didn't agree with Gu Tingjun's relationship with her.
For Ning Xi, he still thinks it's good.
is young and from a rough background, but has achieved achievements that many children of wealthy families cannot match.
Ning Xi saw that Old Man Gu was a little embarrassed, so he spoke out to relieve the siege: "Grandpa, have a good New Year." ”
Gu Tingjun also put the gift box in his hand on the coffee table in a timely manner: "This is a piece of Xiaoxi's heart." ”
As soon as he heard that it was prepared by Ning Xi, Old Man Gu immediately smiled, regardless of what was in those boxes.
"Xiao Xi, sit down. Butler, let's go see if lunch is ready? Xiaoxi, are you hungry? These are the small snacks I specially ordered the kitchen to make, freshly baked, you can try them first. ”
Old Man Gu asked everyone to sit down, as if he had changed enthusiastically.
"Thank you, grandpa." Ning Xi smiled dryly.
Such an abnormal expression made Ning Xi look at Gu Tingjun very uncomfortably, but Gu Tingjun looked calm.
After a brief chat, everyone tacitly did not mention the affairs of the Ning family, but just asked Ning Xi about the current situation.
Soon the butler replied, saying that it was ready and ready to be seated.
So everyone came to the restaurant, and the table was already full of all kinds of delicious dishes.
Old Man Gu sat down on the chief, his right hand was Gu Guoli and his wife, and on his left hand were Gu Tingjun and Ning Xi.
"I want to say a few words about today's family dinner." As the eldest person in the Gu family, according to the convention, Old Man Gu spoke: "After this year, I will also be seventy-three, and they all say seventy-three eighty-four, and the king of Hades will not ask him to go." As for me, I'm getting older, and I took a turn in the ghost gate last year, so I obviously feel a lot weaker. Lately, I've been thinking about the past and feeling like I've been a failure in my life. ”
"Dad......" Gu Guohua wanted to interrupt his father's sadness, but was stopped by the old man raising his hand.
The old man continued: "Guohua, your two younger sisters, one died young, the other married abroad, and never returned. You and Monno are also traveling the world, and they are basically not at home. Only the third, fifth, and sixth who stayed by my side still had wolf ambitions, and even wished that I would return to the West as soon as possible. Isn't it a failure for my father to get to the point where I am? During this time, I have been introspecting, in fact, I can't blame you, it's all my fault. I always impose my own ideas on you, so several of you brothers and sisters hate me. You took Monno around the world, and Xiaosi was far away from me, in fact, I was to blame. ”
Old Man Gu's words made everyone present silent, and Ning Xi also felt a little sympathy for him in his heart.
At this age, no matter how strong you are when you are young, when you are old, you just want your children and grandchildren to wrap around your knees and enjoy the joy of family.
However, not only are his children not around, but there are also killers against him, how can this not make his heart ache?
Alas, the old man Gu, who used to dominate one side, is now just a poor old man.
Ning Xi sighed in his heart, and his dissatisfaction with him also dissipated most of it.
"Mengnuo, Dad is here to say sorry to you, you have indeed been wronged all these years. If I hadn't insisted on not accepting you into the Gu family at the beginning, you wouldn't have wandered for so many years. Child, come back, although Guohua has always been with you, but outside is not home after all. ”
Old Man Gu's belated apology made Feng Mengnuo cry all of a sudden, and the grievances that he had endured for so many years suddenly broke out.
That's right, Gu Guohua's company has made her very happy over the years, but at the same time, the pressure in her heart is also very huge.
She has no way to ignore the fact that her husband gave up the right to inherit the family for her sake, and even has a wandering home that does not return.
If it weren't for himself, Gu Guohua would have inherited the Gu family and become the head of the Gu family.
She has always felt that she is sorry for her husband, and the better Gu Guohua treats her, the more she blames herself.
Now that Old Man Gu has finally admitted her, Gu Guohua finally doesn't have to have a home and can't go back.
"Mengmeng, don't cry."
Seeing his wife crying, Gu Guohua suddenly panicked, and hurriedly picked up the paper to wipe her tears.
After stabilizing his emotions, Feng Mengnuo said with red eyes, "Thank you, Dad." I'm sorry, let Xiaoxi see the joke. ”
Old Man Gu also set his eyes on Ning Xi: "Xiao Xi, I have also done a lot of things to hurt you before. At that time, I really thought you were a boy, so I regarded your relationship with Xiaojun as a shame for the Gu family, and I wanted to break you up. What I didn't expect was that you turned out to be a girl, and you really don't let you shave your eyebrows. Anyway, I did give you an unpleasant experience, and I should apologize to you, I'm sorry. ”
"Grandpa, I can't afford this apology."
Ning Xi was a little panicked, she hurriedly looked at Gu Tingjun, and wanted him to persuade the old man.
"Okay, grandpa, Xixi has forgiven you, and I have forgiven you."
"That's good, that's good, Xiaojun, take good care of Xiaoxi in the future, if you dare to bully her, I can't spare you. Don't look at you now as the head of the Gu family, I'll beat you up like that! ”
Old Man Gu changed his words and began to defend Ning Xilai.
"Yes, I can't spare you!"
Feng Mengnuo expressed his position in a timely manner, and even Gu Guohua nodded again and again.
Well, at this moment, Ning Xi became the person with the highest status in the Gu family, but it was Gu Tingjun who came to the bottom.
"How dare I? She bullied me pretty much the same. ”
Gu Tingjun muttered, his face full of grievances.
"Okay, that's the end of the unhappy things, in the future, our Gu family will be harmonious and happy!"
Everyone picked up the wine glasses together and gently touched them together, making a crisp sound.
