Chapter 32: Temptation

You must know that the ancestors of the Zhou family had been a big official in the Qing Dynasty, and the things they left behind were all treasures, although they lost a lot of money from that movement, they didn't leave any of them. Even her mother's jewelry, she saw a lot of it when she was a child.

She was even more reluctant to go back to her parents' home.

Zhou Zizhen was disturbed like this, and she couldn't continue her motherly mood, and everyone ate quietly.

As for Gu Wenya, she wore heavy glasses at a young age, flipped through a book like her father, and in front of a transparent person, she didn't have the air of a girl at all.

Gu Wentao carried his luggage, got on the train and settled his family, watching the train slowly open and disappear from sight, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, his shoulders also drooped, and he felt that the air he breathed was also very fresh.

Unlike Zhou Zizhen, Gu Wentao prefers to be close to Zhou Zizhong, probably because the relationship between them is more pure, less calculating and powerful.

It's just that Zhou Zizhen has been instilling bad words about his uncle to the three sisters and brothers of the Gu family in the past, and the two families are not in the same place, everyone is safe and sound, and they don't interact with each other.

This time, they went back to Kyoto for the New Year, and Zhou Zizhen wanted to go back to her parents' house to visit relatives and friends for the sake of face, so they had to meet again.

Unlike Zhou Zizhen's lukewarm attitude and words towards the Zhou family, as soon as Gu Wentao chatted with Zhou Zizhong, he fell in love with this uncle, who was not pedantic and polite.

It was also at this time that Gu Wentao learned that in fact, Zhou Zizhong's uncle sent packages to their family every year, but he never knew about it.

Now, thinking about it carefully, I have indeed seen the packages that Zhou Zizhen took home a few times, but she said that it was sent by his uncle's family, so she didn't care.

It turned out that he had misunderstood his uncle for so many years.

Moreover, when Zhou Zizhong heard that Gu Wentao was going to stay in Kyoto to go to school, he hesitated and asked him to come to his house when he was free during this time.

As for Gu Wenyi and Gu Wenya, they didn't have too many feelings about this uncle.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'm going out today, it's still early, so it's better to go to my uncle's house.

The start of the university has passed the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Zhou family does not have many relatives, so it has already ended.

Zhou Zizhong's son Zhou Zhiyuan is one year older than Gu Wentao, and he is already in his third year of high school this year, so he has already gone out to play.

His wife also went out to party with friends.

When Gu Wentao went over, Zhou Zizhong was the only one at home, nesting in the study, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and it was very leisurely.

As soon as Gu Wentao entered the study, he was attracted by the four treasures of the study room placed on the desk, and he praised Zhou Zizhong's ink treasure.

Although Zhou Zizhong was very confident in his words, his nephew was still a little more shy when he praised him so much, and he was busy pulling him to sit on the coffee table next to him, and the two drank tea.

Zhou Zizhong asked seemingly casually: "Wen Tao, you have been living in Ishihara City with your parents, why do you suddenly want to go back to Kyoto to study now?" ”

Gu Wentao still looked like a good baby, and simply explained that he was to be more convenient for the university entrance examination.

Zhou Zizhong didn't believe it!

His nephew, although he has rarely been in contact with him over the years, but he looks like he is born from the heart, looking at his indifferent temperament, he knows that he is not a person who takes shortcuts for the sake of profit, not to mention, he is studying in the provincial key middle school in Ishihara City, and he has always been among the best, and he is admitted to a good university in Kyoto, which is originally a matter of effort, and he does not need to put so much effort into it.

I'm afraid that the Zhou family also saw that Gu Wentao had his own ideas and ideas, thinking that they were all excellent children and grandchildren of his own family, staying by his side, observing and observing, cultivating and cultivating, so that he could shine more brightly in the future.

Now listening to his heartfelt explanation, Zhou Zizhong confirmed his thoughts even more, and after thinking about it for a long time, he spoke again and said, "Wen Tao, what do you think of your mother?" ”

Gu Wentao drank tea, looked up, and was a little puzzled, it was really strange for his uncle to talk to him about his sister.

In his opinion, his uncle is a good person, but his mother is so ruthless, she hasn't told anyone else about the package he sent over the years, if it wasn't for coming to visit the New Year this year, Zhou Zhiyuan asked himself if the review materials he asked his father to send him some time ago were good and useful, and they were still hiding it in the dark.

This kind of family affection, as an intellectual's uncle, is so high, how can he pull down his face and talk about family affection with his mother again?

So it's not about family affection, is it about discussing bad things about his mother with himself, how can he be selfish and cold?

Uncle doesn't look like a person who speaks ill of someone behind his back, at least a smart person shouldn't speak ill of that person's son, it's no different from digging his own grave.

So, how can he answer this seemingly simple, but speechless question?

"Uncle, the son is not ugly. I think no matter what my mom did wrong, at least she never changed for our family.

Maybe sometimes, the way people don't like it, the idea is too domineering, these are not things that we as children can comment on. ”

When Zhou Zizhong heard that there was a door, at least he was not blindly filial piety, and he also knew that Zhou Zizhen had something unpleasant.

"Wen Tao, I don't know, did your mother tell you about the past? It's about your grandpa. ”

Gu Wentao shook his head, for these two respected old men, he had seen them once or twice from afar when he was a child, and he had not had much contact. The news of their death was also heard when their family returned to Kyoto to visit the Gu family for the New Year.

Zhou Zizhong expected that Zhou Zizhen was not close to the Zhou family, and he did not treat him well, because Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou left all the family property to him.

But I didn't expect that in her heart, I was afraid that she didn't have any affection for her parents.

Such a sister, to be honest, he thinks it's actually good to break off his family, at least he doesn't have to worry about being angry.

He let out a long sigh, with a little sadness on his expression, and said, "Your mother is really a ruthless person!

Back then, because our Zhou family was teaching, we didn't have much background and backstage, and we were the first to be defeated in Kyoto.

In order not to be implicated, your mother directly and publicly disconnected from the family and refused to admit that she was from the Zhou family.

Your father quietly apologized to us when we left Kyoto.

However, until your grandfather was rehabilitated, he didn't wait for your mother's apology.

She also complained to us, feeling that her job could not be transferred back to Kyoto, and she could only transfer from the countryside to the city locally. ”
