Chapter 21: Cowardice

Seeing that Gu Tianbai was unmoved, the old lady twisted the Buddha beads again, and her tone was calm and resolute.

"Tianbai, it's not that grandma is deliberately biased, but that the gap between you and Shangyu is too big. You also know what the situation of our Ji family is now, the old man shook his hand and left, leaving me such a mess, seeing the Ji family declining, I feel distressed.

If we can marry with the Demon Capital Du Group, then in Danze City, no one dares to underestimate our Ji family, so we must work together to curry favor with Du Jingxue.

I know that you and Du Jingxue are college alumni and have known each other early, but marriage and love are two different things, love is two things, marriage is a matter of two families, with your current strength, I'm afraid the Du family will not agree, so we let Shang Yu chase after it, and when Du Jingxue marries the Ji family, you can also enjoy happiness, and I will not forget your sacrifice when dividing the property, and I will compensate you. ”

The old lady's words were the Tao, especially the last sentence of 'compensation', which touched Ji Liping's heart.

"Tianbai, don't hurry up and thank grandma." Ji Liping urged.

Gu Tianbai smiled on his face and answered the question, "Good tea, it's just a little bitter." ”

A waste still dares to put on a shelf, and Song Qiaoqiao cleverly blew up his lungs.

Her initial idea was to inform Gu Tianbai directly, either to give up Du Jingxue or give up the Ji family, but the old lady was merciful, so she let Gu Tianbai come over for an interview, but this waste didn't know what to do and ignored the old lady.

"Gu Tianbai, don't be embarrassed, if it weren't for the old lady's mercy, you wouldn't even be able to enter this door, now you have two choices, one is to give up Du Jingxue and compensate you, but get out of the Ji family and never come back." Song Qiaoqiao's voice was harsh.

At this time, the old lady's face was not good-looking, she shook her head, her eyes were full of disappointment, when the old man was alive, he often told her that Gu Tianbai was a great talent, but unfortunately after so many years, she couldn't see any hope in Gu Tianbai.

Gu Yuqiu realized the seriousness of the problem and lost his confidence, "Tianbai, why don't you do what the old lady wants?" ”

Gu Tianbai put down the teacup and said lightly, "Yes, I said it, I listened to my grandmother." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, count yourself as self-aware." Song Qiaoqiao looked disdainful, in the final analysis, she still wanted to get compensation and get some benefits.

"However, if Du Jingxue chases me upside down, I have no choice."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

This was followed by a sarcastic laugh.

Even the babysitter couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Liping and Gu Yuqiu bowed their heads in shame, the thing they were most afraid of still happened, making such a big joke, when they got to the family's annual meeting, they would definitely be ridiculed by their relatives.

"Gu Tianbai, who gave you the confidence to say this?" Song Qiaoqiao has already been scolded, Gu Tianbai is not a waste, she is stupid, she is afraid that Gu Tianbai will not understand her words, so she said it bluntly.

"You don't care about this, if she chases me, won't you stop it?" Gu Tianbai said seriously.

"Hahaha, it's better to be young, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." The old lady's dentures were loosened when she smiled, "If Miss Du chases you, our Ji family will fully support you, what you want, I will give you." ”

"Okay grandma, the Bodhisattva can listen to the side, and don't regret it when the time comes." Gu Tianbai laughed.

"No repentance, no repentance, Amitabha."

After the matter was done, Ji Liping was afraid of extraneous branches, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he got up and went back.

The old lady didn't keep it either, and asked the nanny to send it out.

However, at this time, Ji Shangyu ran in.

He rushed straight into the gate, jumped in front of the old lady, and hugged the old lady.

The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, took Ji Shangyu's hand and asked for warmth, her eyes were full of kindness, which was completely different from her attitude towards Gu Tianbai.

"Grandma, I haven't seen you for two days, you have become younger again, it must be the manifestation of the Buddha, bless you with youth." Ji Shangyu said sweetly.

"Nothing, old man." The old lady smiled even more happily, "Have you eaten, I'll ask the nanny to prepare bird's nest for you." ”

"No, grandma, I'm not hungry." Ji Shangyu shook the document in his hand, "Grandma, I have completed the project of Shufeng Manor, this is the contract." ”

"It's good, it's better than your dad, and in a few years, your dad will have to retire early." The old lady nodded repeatedly.

Ji Shangyu glanced at Gu Tianbai and deliberately raised his voice, "Grandma, when are you going to Shi Wan to propose, don't let Miss Du wait." ”

"Go when the dowry is ready, wait a few more days."

"Thank you, Grandma, you've been so nice to me."

Ji Shangyu relied on the presence of the old lady and swaggered in front of Gu Tianbai.

He was high up and looked at Gu Tianbai with a gaze looking down on the inferior pariahs, "Did you hear that, grandma wants to propose marriage to me and fight with me for women, you can't do it." ”

Gu Tianbai smiled faintly, in Du Jingxue's eyes, Ji Shangyu is not qualified to be a driver, even if he doesn't participate, Ji Shangyu has no chance.

"Well, that's good, keep up the good work."

Make no mistake, Gu Tianbai encourages himself again?

Isn't it clear enough to say yourself?

Ji Shangyu explained again, "I said that I want to propose marriage and marry Du Jingxue, you know, waste." ”

"Congratulations, then I'll prepare some money for you." Gu Tianbai's posture was humble.

It seems that Gu Tianbai was frightened by the old lady and admitted defeat to himself.

Ji Shangyu laughed even more rampantly, "Hahaha, when the time comes, I will invite you to drink the wedding wine." ”

"You don't want money, do you?" Gu Tianbai laughed.

"You don't need money, you can take it away."

"Thank you, you're so nice."

What a fart, the old face has been lost by you.

Ji Liping took a big step and rushed out of the villa as if he was fleeing.

He didn't want to stay for a second, so he took a taxi back.

Gu Tianbai sent Gu Yuqiu home.

In the rearview mirror, Gu Yuqiu, who was sitting in the back row, had vicissitudes on his face.

She held the red envelope with the word 'Xi' in her hand, looked at it again and again, her fingers trembled, and her eyes were empty.

Gu Tianbai explained to her that Du Jingxue had already collected the money, but the red envelope was not taken away, she didn't speak, just nodded.

This woman has little reading and little knowledge, but she is very sensitive to feelings, she is a person who has come over, and understands that if a woman really likes someone, she will not throw away the red envelope given by her mother-in-law at will.

The red envelope appears here, either because he thinks he has little money, or he doesn't like his son.

No matter what the reason, as a mother, Gu Yuqiu will only complain that she has no ability, so she remains silent, she is afraid that her son will have low self-esteem, she is afraid that her son will be under pressure, and she is afraid that her son will lose face.

She is afraid of a lot, in the final analysis, she is afraid that her son will not have a good life.

The son is not doing well, and the mother is even worse, and most mothers in the world are like this.

Gu Tianbai slowed down the car and tried to drive the car smoothly.

Because Gu Yuqiu's heart is not good, the speed of the car is fast and slow, and he is prone to heart palpitations.

When I got home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Gu Yuqiu looked very tired, and Gu Tianbai helped her to the bedroom to rest.

Ji Liping hasn't come back yet, he has lost face with the old lady, he should have gone to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, or he didn't want to see Gu Tianbai.

Gu Tianbai withdrew from the bedroom and closed the door quietly, but Ji Tianchuan's rough voice came from behind.

It turned out that after Gu Tianbai left the old lady's villa, the old lady found that the signature on the contract was wrong, although Ji Shangyu had Ji Tianchuan's statement, but Zhao Shufeng's background made the old lady dare not slack off, after all, the Ji family wants to return to the first-line family, and the Kyoto Zhao family is a good backer.

So the old lady called Zhao Shufeng to inquire about the situation, and the reply she got was that she should strictly follow the contract, whose name was on the contract, and who Zhao Shufeng was with to dock the project, otherwise there was no need to talk.

Zhao Shufeng said very clearly and his attitude was very resolute, even if Ji Shangyu pretended to be pitiful, the old lady finally decided to act according to the contract and let Ji Tianchuan be in charge of the project of Shufeng Manor.

Just now, Ji Tianchuan received a call from the old lady, he didn't think it was a good thing, he thought it was a conspiracy, a conspiracy from Gu Tianbai.

"Gu Tianbai, why are you going against me everywhere, you know that the project of Shufeng Manor is Brother Yu's, and you still let me be responsible, do you want to force me to death?"

"Did I force you, it was the old lady's decision." Gu Tianbai responded lightly.

"Let's not go around the corner, if it weren't for you playing yin behind your back, how could you let me compete with Ji Shangyu for the project of Shufeng Manor?" The more Ji Tianchuan spoke, the more angry he became, "Don't treat me as a fool, let's talk about our hearts today, are you jealous that I have a good relationship with Ji Shangyu and get reused by the Ji family, so you want me and Ji Shangyu to kill each other, and you benefit from it." ”

Jealous, Gu Tianbai can destroy the Ji family at any time as long as he is willing.

"Ji Tianchuan, you are a coward." Gu Tianbai said coldly.

"I'll rub, you still dare to scold me, you don't want to live." Ji Tianchuan rolled up his sleeves, aggressive, but his body retreated, "Don't think that if you can fight, you can do whatever you want, I tell you, in this society, it is no longer the era of brute force, money is the real power, if you have money, you have status, if you have money, you have rights, the reason why you are called a waste is because you have no money, you are poor." ”

"People who don't have the ability will take money so seriously." Gu Tianbai said.

"Yes, I admit that I can't do it, but how much better are you than me, you have the ability, buy a house, buy a car, get married and have children." Ji Tianchuan was complacent, "I don't have anything to say, no one wants a bachelor." ”

"That's all you can do."

Gu Tianbai said and walked out, he didn't want to waste his tongue and disturb Gu Yuqiu's rest.

Ji Tianchuan chased after him, emotional, "Don't go, you make it clear, this society has money to be an uncle, but no money to pretend to be a grandson, everyone is like this, why do you look down on me." ”

Knock –

The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Ji Liping stood drunk at the door, his eyes red and swollen.

"Dad, you're just in time, you give us a review." Ji Tianchuan dragged Ji Liping over, "You said that compared with the two of us, who is unproductive, who is a waste?" ”

Ji Liping is Ji Tianchuan's father, and Gu Tianbai has no blood relationship with him, in his opinion, he will win.

However, Ji Liping slapped Ji Tianchuan in the face, and he heard the conversation just now, "Tianbai is right, you are a coward." ”

Ji Tianchuan was stunned, Ji Liping hadn't beaten him since he was a child, "Dad-"

"Don't call me Dad, I don't have your son." Ji Liping was full of wine, and his pronunciation was a little unclear, "If you are my son, you will do a good job in the project of Shufeng Manor, what are you afraid of, what happened, I will give you the top, what kind of little kid is Ji Shangyu, and he dares to pretend to be thirteen in front of me, no big or small." ”

"Dad, you've drunk too much, sit down and rest and drink some water." Gu Tianbai helped him.

"Don't touch me, you're not a good thing, in front of the old lady, you actually contradicted me, do you still have my father in your eyes." Ji Liping slapped Gu Tianbai's chest, "If you are a gentleman, don't brag about it, marry Miss Du back, let Song Qiaoqiao take a look, let the old lady take a look, and let the relatives of the Ji family take a look - I, Ji Liping's son, am not a coward." ”

"Dad, don't say it, drink some water."

Ji Tianchuan brought warm water, replaced Gu Tianbai, and took care of Ji Liping to rest.

Gu Tianbai silently walked out of the door, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's almost time to do something, and the timing is just right.
