Chapter 136: I Hope You Will Attend Our Wedding
Soon, Gu Chengxiao saw Lin Xu, Lin Xu looked much younger than his actual age, Lin Xu and Lin Pei stood together, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were father and son.
Lin Xu had dealt with Gu Nanhe as early as Australia, and had only heard of the name Gu Chengxiao, but he had never really seen it.
When he returned to China, his eldest brother and sister-in-law told him that Lin Qian was married to Gu Chengxiao of the Gu family in the capital, Gu Nanhe's cousin, and he still didn't believe it.
Seeing Gu Chengxiao's handsome and upright image, he has a sense of "sure enough, heroes are out of youth", the sons of the Gu family are stronger than the other, Gu Nanhe was ranked in the top ten of the rich list at a young age, I heard that Gu Nanhe also benefited from having a cousin with a mysterious background, that cousin, presumably this Gu Chengxiao in front of him.
Gu Ye Group is the family business of the Gu family, and its status is high in the Chinese business circle in Australia, Gu Nanhe and Lin Pei are two people of equal reputation, but in China, in the capital, the Gu family is one of the most powerful, and Lin Xu is not famous at all.
Lin Xu wants to gain a foothold in China, even if he is the eldest brother Lin Pei before he went bankrupt, he is less than one ten-thousandth of Gu Chengxiao.
"You're Xiao Qian's husband?" Lin Xu excitedly shook Gu Chengxiao's hand, surprised and delighted.
Gu Chengxiao nodded, "Yes, hello, Mr. Lin." "I don't know Lin Qian's attitude towards this father yet, so he didn't call him dad directly.
Of course, his "Mr. Lin" did embarrass everyone for three seconds, but no one refuted it.
Because, Lin Xu has not fulfilled his obligation to raise this daughter at all, he is not worthy of being Lin Qian's father at all, and naturally he is not worthy of Gu Chengxiao calling him his father.
Gu Chengxiao knew everything, and there was something difficult to say in front of everyone, so he proposed to talk to Lin Xu alone.
Lin Xu had no reason to refuse, and the two entered his grandfather's bedroom on the first floor.
Maggie Chu pushed her husband, "You go and listen to it." ”
Lin Pei: "Forget it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was discovered?" Chief Gu is not easy to mess with. ”
Maggie Chu gave him a blank look, "Useless guy, get out!" So saying, she walked to the door of the old man's room, her ear pressed against the wooden door, trying to overhear something.
Lin Pei watched it and listened to Maggie Chu's example.
But nothing could be heard.
In the room, Gu Chengxiao asked bluntly: "Mr. Lin hasn't come back once for so many years, did you forget that there is still an old father who gave birth to you and raised you here, or did you forget your own daughter?" ”
"......" Lin Xu didn't expect him to be so direct, and his face turned red at the moment, in addition to embarrassment, more shame, and deep helplessness.
He sighed and said, "I don't want to, but my career in Australia depends on my father-in-law to get to where I am today, and my wife is extremely reluctant to accept the daughter I had with my ex-wife, let alone picking up Xiaoqian by my side, even if I go back to China to see her, I am not allowed." I know I'm sorry for Xiaoqian, so I can only give her more security in life. ”
"Give her more security in life?"
"Yes, I've never been stingy with money, just more."
"You mean donating a gymnasium to B University in exchange for her admission place?"
"Not only that, but the annual cost of living will only be more than the money donated to the school."
Gu Chengxiao suddenly realized, he suddenly understood Lin Qian's hatred for his uncle's family, Lin Qian's status in the Lin family was low, cautious, and even had a concept since he was a child, that is, the Lin family instilled in him - your parents don't want you anymore, you are just a drag oil bottle.
This is such a cruel thing for a child, probably every time the uncle and aunt say it, Lin Qian will feel uncomfortable once.
Lin Qian grew up under this kind of mental torture.
Lin Xu saw that he suddenly didn't speak, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your so-called living expenses are called to Lin Pei?"
"yes, what?"
"Then you'd better ask him yourself, who is spending all this money on."
Lin Xu obviously only realized it now, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll check, but he is my eldest brother after all, and my dad is old, so I don't want the old man to worry." ”
Gu Chengxiao nodded, and agreed with his statement, "I don't care about your family affairs, I only care about shallow, I thought you didn't plan to have this daughter, but now it seems that this is not the case, then, as her father, I hope to talk to you about my marriage with Qianqian." ”
This surprised Lin Xu, "Aren't you already married?" How? ”
"You don't know, I and Qianqian just registered, the wedding hasn't happened yet, if you still recognize her as a daughter, if she also accepts you as a father, I hope you can attend our wedding."
Lin Xu's heart was hot, he didn't expect that the rumored cold-blooded and ruthless Gu Chengxiao also had this warm and soft side, he was very happy, happy for Lin Qian.
"Good, good, great."
Gu Chengxiao asked again: "Since Mrs. Lin has not allowed you to see shallowness for so many years, why is she relenting now?" ”
Lin Xu: "My father-in-law passed away half a year ago, my wife is an only daughter, and now I am in charge of the family, and this time my eldest brother's company went bankrupt again, so I hurried back to China." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xu wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated a few times, and swallowed the words to his mouth.
Maybe it's a professional relationship, Gu Chengxiao always has a posture of insight into opportunities, which makes Lin Xu feel like he has stripped off his clothes and is fully exposed, sooner or later he will know, it is better to talk about it first.
"About my current wife, I have a daughter with her, the reason why she doesn't accept Xiao Qian is that she is afraid that Xiao Qian will fight with her sister for family property in the future, in my wife's opinion, everything I have now is given by her mother's family, and all the family property will naturally be given to our daughter."
Gu Chengxiao also knows about this kind of open and secret struggle in a wealthy family, and he has heard and seen a lot.
The reason why the Gu family can stand tall in the capital is precisely because of the strict family style, the unity and friendship between the brothers, and the concerted efforts, there has never been such a mess in other wealthy families.
"You can explain to Mrs. Lin now that Qianqian is my Gu family's person, and I will never ask her family for a penny." Gu Chengxiao swore and said, "She just wants to get a little bit of fatherly love that she should have." ”
Lin Xu was ashamed of himself, and added a few wisps of guilt to Lin Qian, "Yes, I understand." ”
"By the way, I wonder if you have any news of Ms. He Xin?"
Suddenly hearing the name of the deceased, Lin Xu's facial muscles twitched obviously, and his face was very solemn, he shook his head and said: "Since the divorce, there has been no contact, we had a very unpleasant quarrel back then, and the most pitiful one is Xiao Qian." ”
Gu Chengxiao saw that the time was almost at mealtime, and everything that should be talked about was discussed, so he said: "Let's eat together, let's go find Qianqian, although she doesn't mention it, she must be very happy to see you." ”
"Okay." Lin Xu couldn't wait to meet this daughter he hadn't seen for fifteen years.
