Chapter 38: The Origin of the Name
"Cousin." Gu Xu pretended to persuade on the side: "Grandpa is ill, don't irritate his old man." β
"Humph!" Old Man Gu knocked on the ground with a cane: "If this kid is half as filial as you, I won't give him a single inheritance!"
There are many kinds of industries under the Gu family, and any industry is a huge asset, what does Old Man Gu mean by this, does he intend to give Gu Yun a slight?
Qian Jiu stood aside and pondered, it was rumored that the Gu family only produced men, the old man Gu only had two sons, and the grandchildren were only Gu Yun and Gu Xu.
Gu Yun's father seems to have passed away a few years ago, and Gu Xu's father seems to have no plans to inherit the family business.
Then there are only two heirs to this huge Gu family industry, Gu Yun and Gu Xu.
Now it seems that Old Man Gu deliberately pinned the Gu family on Gu Xu.
"Grandpa." Gu Yun didn't care about the whereabouts of the Gu family's property, and said bluntly: "I, who is in a wheelchair, it doesn't matter if I come to visit you or not." He clenched Chijiu's hand tightly and continued, "But my fiancΓ©e ......"
"Standing here with me from the moment you entered, is that your hospitality?"
"Presumptuous!"
With a muffled sound, Old Man Gu's rough thug hit the handle of the mahogany seat, "How did you talk to me?" β
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, imposing: "Grandpa thinks my fiancΓ©e is not worthy of a seat?" β
He mentioned Qianjiu three times and twice in his words, and then Old Man Gu moved his gaze to the person who had been quietly beside Gu Yun since he entered the door.
"You're his fiancΓ©e?" Old Man Gu's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't see Qianjiu's heart.
"Yes, Grandpa."
Since she was a child, she was inconvenient to see people because of her identity, and her mother naturally didn't teach her how to call people. So she doesn't know much about the title until now, so she can only follow the names of the people around her.
Old Man Gu was called 'grandpa' by her, and he only felt that he regarded himself as a member of the Gu family before he passed the door, and he was definitely not a simple person.
Besides, Gu Yun is still half paralyzed, how can a healthy person willingly marry a disabled person?
"Did your parents agree?" Old Man Gu had a serious expression, and his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes of life were always staring at her.
Qian Jiu secretly pinched a sweat for herself, and said loudly: "I have a deep love for Ah Yun, even if my parents don't agree, I must be with him!" β
What she actually wants to say is, what age is it now! Do you still need to be affected by the parents for the marriage event?
But for the sake of Old Man Gu's face, she could only say this in a high-sounding manner.
"Huh!" Old Man Gu sneered as if he had heard a big joke: "Then what if I don't agree?" β
"If you don't agree." Qian Jiu lowered her eyes and pretended to look at Gu Yun affectionately, "This can only depend on how much Ah Yun loves me." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she got goosebumps, and by lowering her head, she rolled her eyes at Gu Yun in a place where Old Man Gu couldn't see.
Gu Yun brewed a good mood, and when he looked at Qian Jiujiu affectionately, he saw this white eye, and he coughed unnaturally: "Even if it's grandpa...... Nor can it prevent us from being together. β
There were only four of them in the huge living room, Qian Jiu and Gu Yun performed hard, Old Man Gu looked thoughtful, and Gu Xu watched the play on the side.
Eventually, it was the old woman who had led them through the door that broke the silence.
"Sir." She asked respectfully, "Do you want to prepare Little Master and Miss Qian for dinner?" β
"Hmm." Old Man Gu replied coldly, and then glanced at Qian Jiu: "Miss Qian, right?" β
"Just call me September." Qianjiu responded very sensibly.
"Sit down." Old Man Gu pointed to the empty mahogany sofa on his left, and his eyes swept over Gu Yun on the side, "Don't let people say that our Gu family doesn't know how to be hospitable!" β
Qian Jiu glanced at Gu Yun and pushed him to the edge of the sofa before sitting down.
"Your name is September?" Old Man Gu has a strange temper, but he is calm at this time, "Was you born in September?" β
"Yes."
"It's a casual name." Old Man Gu said it intentionally.
He had also heard a little about the uproar some time ago, and he already knew that Qianjiu was the illegitimate daughter of a thousand families.
It makes sense for an illegitimate daughter's name to be taken casually.
He deliberately mentioned it, deliberately embarrassing her.
Qianjiu lowered his eyes and was silent.
Her name gets whatever she wants, and of course she knows.
At this moment, Gu Yun reached out and took a hand that Qian Jiu put on his knee, and his tone was relaxed: "Speaking of which, my name is also very arbitrary. β
Qian Jiu raised his eyes to look at Gu Yun in surprise, only to see him smile lightly: "Because my birth is allowed." β
That's why it's called Gu Yun?
The originally boring mood instantly became happy, she squinted and smiled purely, "So that's ......"
Old Man Gu and Gu Xu on the side both had complicated faces.
Gu Yun's mother is not the daughter of a famous family, but an ordinary peasant girl, she came to the capital to work hard, and met the young and promising second young master of the Gu family at that time.
The two fell in love at first sight, and then there was Gu Yun.
Taking into account the worldly distractions, Old Man Gu strongly opposed this marriage, and intended to match Gu Yun's father with the third lady of the Mu family.
didn't think that Gu Yun's mother was already pregnant with him at that time, and after all kinds of pleading, Gu Yun's birth was allowed......
Qian Jiu didn't know the story behind this, but she also understood that Gu Yun was comforting her.
She pursed her lips and smiled, holding Gu Yun's big hand and kneading it wantonly.
In the evening, before the dinner was about to start, Gu Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest, and the dignity of this guest could be seen from the smiling face of Old Man Gu.
Qianjiu pushed Gu Yun and followed Old Man Gu and Gu Xu to the door of Gu's house to welcome guests.
The night had just begun, and the blazing yellow lights outside Gu's house had already turned on.
In the distance, the sound of the engine stopped, the car door opened, and a woman in a purple cheongsam with still charm walking on the concrete road against the light.
High heels stomp.
As the figure approached, Qianjiu's figure trembled uncontrollably.
Gu Yun glanced sideways at Qian Jiujiu, his brows raised slightly.
"Sui Qing!" Old Man Gu's tone was high, "It's just right to come!" Eat together! β
"Aunt Mu."
"Aunt Mu."
Gu Xu and Gu Yun invariably called each other.
Qian Jiu's expression was sluggish, and he spoke intermittently for a while: "Ah...... Aunt. β
'Don't call Mommy!' β
If you want to attend the banquet, call Auntie! Hear no! β
The admonition in her childhood ears sounded again, Qianjiu had a splitting headache and reddened eyes, and she spoke again, as if muttering to herself; "Auntie......"
Hearing her name, Gu Yun looked at Qian Jiu with some surprise.
Shen Yanzhi found it clear before that Qian Jiu was Mu Suiqing's daughter, but she was called ......
Mu Suiqing looked at the juniors amiably as if he didn't know Qianjiu and nodded.
Several people moved to the dining room, and Qian Jiu pushed Gu Yun to stand on the left side of the table.
Her gaze was dull, and her afterglow always followed Mu Suiqing, who had an elegant demeanor. Seeing her seated, Qian Jiu bit her lower lip and sat down opposite Mu Suiqing.
On the main seat is Old Man Gu, and on the left and right sides are Gu Xu and Gu Yun respectively, and then over, it is Mu Suiqing and Qian Jiu.
The dinner of a wealthy family is not a delicacy of mountains and seas, but it can be regarded as a big fish and meat.
Qianjiu Shi tastelessly sandwiched the rice grains in the bowl and slowly put them into his mouth.
Gu Yun calmly put some shredded potatoes into the bowl of Qianjiu without moving.
She usually loves potatoes.
However, Qian Jiu didn't even know that there were more vegetables in the bowl, she just took a small bite of dinner in Munadi.
A meal is like chewing wax.
When Qianjiu finally stayed up until the end of dinner and was about to return to the manor with Gu Yun, the woman in her prime walked up to them with small steps.
At this time, Qianjiu only hated that the lights in the garden were too dim, so that she couldn't take a good look at her mother.
"Xiao Yun...... Mu Suiqing's eyes never stayed on Qian Jiu from beginning to end, "Your grandfather's temper is like that, don't be angry with him." β
"I know. Aunt Mu. β
Gu Yun was polite to Mu Suiqing.
"Also, I will persuade your grandfather to let you go back to work in the company, and you don't think about competing with Gu Xu for a position all day long." Mu Suiqing said earnestly, "How can there be any position between brothers!" β
Gu Yun didn't agree to this, but said undeniably: "Since grandpa has taken back all my positions in the company, I don't expect him to give it to me." β
"As for Gu Xu." Gu Yun's eyes were gloomy, "I will still fight if I should fight." β
"Xiao Yun!" Mu Suiqing sighed: "If you fight for your grandfather, you should think that you are going to fight for the family property!" β
"It's okay, Aunt Mu." Gu Yun smiled openly.
However, at this moment, Qian Jiu, who had been standing silently behind Gu Yun, suddenly leaned over, she only felt that her temples were extremely painful, as if a needle was pierced inside.
She lifted her hand to her temple and leaned back into her wheelchair.
"Little Jiu!"
This soft exhalation made Qianjiu's nose sour.
It's been fifteen years......
Since she was kicked out of the Mu family and sent to the Qianjia family, she has never heard this call from her mother again.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yun frowned and turned his head to look at Qian Jiu, who was pale.
"I'm fine."
Qian Jiu stabilized her body and straightened up, she hooked the corners of her mouth and nodded to Mu Sui, her voice was weak, "Thank you, Auntie." β
"Let's go first."
After she finished speaking, she pushed Gu Yun and slowly walked towards the iron gate of the mansion.
Mu Suiqing stood in the autumn breeze, his eyes slightly red......
Qianjiu sat in the car, the scene outside the window flashed, and the lingering past was in her mind.
It is precisely because of such a spurned past that she derives such a personality.
After being silent for a long time, she said to the driver in the driver's seat as if she had made a lot of determination: "Uncle Wang, send me to the Beijing suburb circuit......
The driver glanced at Gu Yun in the rearview mirror, and only then did he nod before he spoke: "Miss Qian, it seems that the racing track is not open today." β
