Chapter 41: A Visit to the Master of the Inner Painting Pot
The iron gate of the Gu family's mansion was tightly closed, and the courtyard exuded a cold smell inside and outside, and many withered yellow fallen leaves were piled up on the ground, desolate and desolate.
I don't know if my mother didn't have enough money to hire someone to take care of it, or if the servants who saw the money had taken the initiative to resign.
Gu Jinsheng pushed open the rusty iron door, forced tears into the mansion, and couldn't help but sigh at this sudden change.
"Mom, can I see Dad?"
The door was open, and the familiar face in front of Gu Jinsheng stood at the entrance and forced a smile, the corners of her eyes suddenly became a little sour, she really wanted to cry.
But now she needs to comfort her mother, who is in despair, and she can't shed tears.
"I'll take you."
Gu Mingzhu smiled bitterly, her eyes were full of self-blame, she didn't have the energy and ability to set up a banquet to welcome her daughter home.
It's just a few months, Gu Mingzhu is so old.......
The woman's temples were gray, her cheeks were haggard and old, and she must have been exhausted by the events of the past few months.
Gu Mingzhu put on heavy makeup, but she still couldn't hide her dark yellow face.
Gu Jinsheng involuntarily stepped forward and grabbed his mother's hand and followed her upstairs.
"Good boy, it's good to be back." Gu Mingzhu covered her cheeks and was reluctant to leave her spineless side, so she pulled her upstairs tremblingly, "After seeing your father, you have to help your mother do things." Mom listens to you, Mom doesn't make up her own mind anymore, it's useless to blame me. ”
Gu Jinsheng glanced at her and responded in a low voice, "Hmm." ”
On the second floor, it was originally a ward for guests, but now it is a ward for my father's recuperation.
The curtains in the hospital room drooped, blocking the sunlight from the window, and the room was extremely damp and dark.
Her mood was also down.
"Dad! Your daughter has come to see you. ”
Seeing his father, who was sick in bed, relying on an oxygen mask to breathe continuously, Gu Jinsheng shed sad tears.
With bottles and jars of medicine on the bedside table and doctor's coats hanging from the hangers, it has become a permanent home for family doctors.
Gu Jinsheng let go of his mother's hand, sobbed and cried, and crawled to the bed, "Dad! ”
The only thing that responded to her was the ticking sound of the hanging bottle delivering liquid, and there was no cordial greeting as she had hoped.
"My daughter is not filial."
Gu Jinsheng buried his head in the futon in grief and angrily reprimanded himself. Holding his father's bony hand, the cold temperature gradually came from the palm.
It's a pity that her father, who used to smile at her, can't hear any of her voices.
Similarly, Gu Mingzhu, who was standing next to him, had long been crying silently, regretting not being at the beginning.
The morning before her wife's accident, she didn't expect the Lu family to torture them so much.
I thought that the shrimp soldiers and crabs sent by the Lu family to monitor them would make people not be afraid at all, but who knew that they made a big move and caught them off guard.
After visiting her father, Gu Jinsheng did something like changing diapers, and Gu Mingzhu ordered her to go out and let her go downstairs and wait.
"Mom......"
Gu Jinsheng couldn't bear his father, so he couldn't help but scream.
Gu Mingzhu patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "Good, Steward Liu is waiting for you downstairs, he has something important to tell you." Don't be willful, hurry down and help your parents share the burden, your uncle has worked hard enough. ”
Gu Jinsheng nodded, and went downstairs to find Steward Liu, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Miss."
Steward Liu turned around, holding a crumbled notebook in his hand.
Steward Liu spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Miss, these are the previous notes of Madame." There are also the names of the Lu family's spies, as well as their current status in the company, and one of them risked his life to help the corrupt person go abroad. ”
"Why don't you call the police?"
With the booklet in her hand, she was in no hurry to read it. Gu Jinsheng pursed his lips, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, if you turn a few pages and look at it, you will understand that we don't have enough evidence. Moreover, where can the relationship between the Lu family and the Gu family be broken? Steward Liu pointed to the booklet and analyzed, motioning for her to take a look.
“...... I see. ”
Slender fingertips flip through the pages, and the scattered notes are really not enough to report to the official.
Gu Jinsheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes were firm and confident: "I can't bear this breath." ”
"Miss, it's not a question of whether you can bear it or not, but you have to consider the consequences for the Gu family."
Steward Liu was shocked by the powerful aura she exuded at that moment, and he stepped back and cowered.
"Heh, the Lu family doesn't have the courage or the courage to block the Gu family at this juncture!"
The corners of Gu Jinsheng's mouth raised a disdainful smile, unable to hide the deep disdain for the Lu family in his eyes.
"But ......"
Steward Liu's face turned three points pale, surprised by her presumptuous and bold conclusions, and her speech was a little stumbling.
Although newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, where is the little girl's ability to socialize and do business?
"Do as I tell you to do and don't ask. I want the Lu family to repay this price! I also take care of the company's affairs, and you and your mother just need to support me. ”
The little girl's firm tone was a little arrogant, but the expression on her face was light, her steps were calm, and her bright eyes burned with arrogance that could not be ignored.
Steward Liu somehow agreed, he didn't ask anything more, he wanted to support her unconditionally, even if he did everything, which made Gu Jinsheng very moved.
"Trust me."
After Gu Jinsheng finished speaking, he hurriedly left the Gu family's mansion.
She won't let go of Lu Zexi and the Lu family easily!
In her opinion, sooner or later they will be punished.
If she wants to plan against the Lu family, she must first complete some small things.
Therefore, Gu Jinsheng drove to the cheapest store in the city and went straight to the bracelet store with the most people and the cheapest.
Gu Jinsheng is a minimalist who loves all things simple, and she used to come here when her salary was starting to start.
Stalls, suitable for giving to people of corresponding value.
For example, Lu Yuze, such as Lu Zexi.
Another example is the Lu family's group of faceless garbage.
"Why are you so annoying, whether you like to buy it or not, whatever you want."
The voice of the shopkeeper was a little impatient, waving her hand to catch up with these bargaining customers.
Gu Jinsheng stepped into the small shop and opened his mouth to ask for something: "Boss, help me bring all the bracelets that are more than fifty yuan, and give me thirty." ”
The customer next to her, who was digging into his pocket, stared at her a little strangely and muttered disdainfully, "Cut, pretend to be a rich man!" I'm here to buy samples for less than 50 yuan. ”
"Hey, Xiao Gu! I'll bring it. ”
The boss was overjoyed, and when he saw Gu Jinsheng, he couldn't wait to rush up and hug her.
Gu Jinsheng had brushed her face with the boss before, and she was familiar, no wonder the boss treated her so warmly today.
"Wrap it all up for me, I won't inspect the goods, just take it." Gu Jinsheng smiled faintly, took out his bank card and prepared to swipe it.
The proprietress widened her eyes and trembled incoherently, "One, one, fifteen hundred." ”
The boss is a small business, and Gu Jinsheng bought such a large order when he came in the past, and today it can be said that he is soft with money.
Gu Jinsheng got what he wanted, and under the eyes of everyone's surprise, envy, and anger, he walked out of the shop with a spring breeze on his face: "Okay, thank you." ”
"Okay, okay, go slowly! Next time! ”
The boss took the money and sniffed it, and took a deep breath of satisfaction, the smell of the money was really good.
The customers saw the boss smiling from ear to ear, their mouths were crooked, and they touched their crumpled wallets one after another.
Between people, it's better not to compare.
Gu Jinsheng sat back in the car, turned on the Bluetooth headset, and dialed Han Xiaoxiao's phone: "Xiaoxiao, I've been here with my mother for the past few days." See if I can go to your apartment and pick up the fake. ”
"yes, I was just about to ask you. I made a knock-off the other day, and the real thing about your emerald bracelet is with you, right? ”
Han Xiaoxiao's crisp and pleasant voice sounded, and Gu Jinsheng's heart also relaxed.
Gu Jinsheng replied lightly: "Well, I kept it very properly." ”
"I'll send the fake over later." Han Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. Except for you and me, there must be no third person who knows about this matter. ”
Gu Jinsheng knew that Han Xiaoxiao would never betray her, because they were good girlfriends.
"Nonsense, if the boss knows that you are so bold and dare to calculate the company, your future life will be over!"
Gu Jinsheng stroked his hair and replied impatiently: "Well, I know." ”
"I'm still going to say, don't go out on any trips."
Han Xiaoxiao solemnly reminded that even if it is verbose, it must be told again and again.
"I know, if something goes wrong, you and I can't eat and walk around. I'm not going to risk it. ”
Gu Jinsheng's tone was very confident, making it impossible to refute her.
Han Xiaoxiao sighed: "Grandma, it's an adventure for you to count us all in!" ”
Gu Jinsheng is always well-planned and rational in doing things, but this time, she didn't expect Gu Jinsheng to play away.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll see you at home tonight, and I'll invite you to dinner in the evening."
"Good! Deal. ”
Gu Jinsheng hung up the phone and did not go home directly, but turned a corner and headed towards the remote mountainous area.
A small park near the mountains was where she was going to visit an old grandfather.
The park is bustling with people, most of whom are elderly people who come for a walk or exercise, with a steady gait, good health, and good spirits.
At a round table in the activity area, four elderly people were sitting, and there were four or five elderly people behind them, watching a few people play cards with relish.
A sweet voice interrupted the interested crowd: "Grandpa Qu." ”
"Yo! Here you girl is again! ”
An old man sitting at the round table, helped the frame of his glasses, put down the cards in his hand, touched his beard and looked back, and immediately got up to greet him with a smile.
The onlookers were suddenly surprised, how could a young girl let an old man who was over the age of sixteen get up to greet her?
Who is this little girl?
Unexpectedly, a generation of famous pot masters in the country greeted him with a smile when he heard it!
"Grandpa, I'm coming to see you again."
