"What did you say?!" Old Man Gu raised his voice.

Gu Peiran had a cold face and repeated what he had just said.

In the next second, Gu Peiran's forehead was hit by an inkstone, and bright red blood flowed down his cheeks.

"I think you're getting carried away by the ghost and starting to go crazy!" Old Man Gu reprimanded in a deep voice, "At the beginning, I didn't agree with you marrying a girl from an ordinary family, and you knelt on the ground like this and told me that after getting married, you would work for the Gu family unconditionally." Now you're starting to get even worse again, and you're going so far as to give up your duties for that woman surnamed Xu?! ”

"My proposal to step down has nothing to do with Xu Qingyao." Gu Peiran said coldly.

Gu Peiran raised his hand and wiped away the blood that was about to flow into his eyes.

He continued, "But it doesn't matter at all. Grandpa, you promised me before that after Xu Qingyao married into the Gu family, she would not participate in the disputes of the Gu family in any form. ”

But during this time, she was kidnapped by Gu Tianhe one after another. Gu Tian and these radical behaviors, if he didn't get your acquiescence, he would definitely not be able to do it. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Peiran's eyes, "Grandpa, you broke your promise first." ”

"What? Do you still want to question me, this old man? Old Man Gu didn't have the embarrassment of being poked on his face at all.

As Gu Peiran said, the several kidnappings Xu Qingyao experienced were all tacitly approved by Old Man Gu.

Even, Gu Tianhe and Gu Zimo wanted to seize power of the Gu Group, and Old Man Gu knew it.

"I didn't mean to question you." Gu Peiran replied, "I just want to tell you my attitude, Xu Qingyao, is my bottom line." If you continue to hurt her to stimulate me to do something to Gu Tian and them, then I won't be your pawn honestly anymore. ”

Old Man Gu snorted coldly, "When have I stimulated you, but don't forget, boy, if you don't fight for it yourself, what I give you won't become yours." ”

“…… I know, Grandpa. Gu Peiran raised his head and looked straight at Old Man Gu, his eyes were extremely aggressive.

"I have my own ideas, and I don't need you to interfere anymore."

“……”

Old Man Gu was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked back to the desk, sat down and sighed.

"Alright, get up." Old Man Gu said.

Gu Peiran didn't move.

"Why, do you want me to come and help you personally?"

Gu Peiran stood up at this time, because he knelt for too long, his legs were all numb, and he even shook unsteadily after getting up.

Old Man Gu frowned, glanced at the blood gushing out of Gu Peiran's forehead, and still softened his tone a little, "Go and ask Steward Xu to come in with the medicine box." ”

Gu Peiran nodded, endured the pain caused by numbness, and walked to the door of the study.

Outside the door, the housekeeper Xu Yan had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master AE Ran, this is the medicine box." Xu Yan stuffed the medicine box in his hand into Gu Peiran's hand and looked at the wound on his forehead worriedly.

Xu Yan has worked in the Gu family for most of his life, and he has watched Gu Peiran grow up, and he has long regarded Gu Peiran as his own grandson.

So seeing that Gu Peiran's face was covered with blood, his worry couldn't be suppressed at all.

"Young Master Pei Ran, you are a little subdued, don't anger the master anymore. You also know that the master has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted...... "Xu Yan opened his mouth a little out of bounds, and wanted to persuade Gu Peiran.

Gu Peiran raised his hand to stop him, "I'm measured, Uncle Xu, don't worry." ”

"But, you ......," Xu Yan said, taking out a clean handkerchief from the inner pocket of his suit and pressing it against Gu Peiran's wound.

"Steward Xu, you don't need you to help him treat this stinky boy's injury, let him come by himself, you go out first." Old Man Gu said.

Xu Yan couldn't disobey Old Man Gu's instructions, so he could only retreat with a worried face.

Gu Peiran carried the medicine box, walked back to the study, and smeared the medicine on the wound with an expressionless face, as if he couldn't feel the pain.

At this time, Old Man Gu suddenly mentioned Xu Qingyao again.

"I heard that Xu Yatou has left the capital again? You haven't settled her divorce yet? ”

Hearing this, Gu Peiran frowned, "We didn't want a divorce, Xu Qingyao left the capital to film." ”

"Actor......" Old Man Gu said thoughtfully.

"This profession is a bit average, but I have watched the dramas filmed by Xu Yatou, and she does have some aura of acting."

"I thank her for the compliment." Gu Peiran only revealed a sense of freshness when he talked about Xu Qingyao.

Old Man Gu took Gu Peiran's look into his eyes and snorted with some disdain.

This kid is like his father, and he always has to pretend to be a woman in his heart.

"I don't want to care about your young couple. However, don't have any more things like you clarifying rumors for her as the Gu Group. Old Man Gu said, "The Gu family is not your own Gu family now. ”

"I know, Grandpa." Gu Peiran lowered his head and continued to treat the wound.

Old Man Gu said again, "I don't agree with your resignation, the Gu Group can't be handed over to Gu Tian and that group of people who only have ambition and no ability." But...... I can agree with you to take a vacation. ”

"Go and finish what you want to do, and when I die, the Gu family will be yours." Also, remember to tell Xu Yatou that the loquat paste she made before was very useful, and I liked it very much. ”

Gu Peiran nodded.

After another while, he got up and left Old Man Gu's study.

Just when Gu Peiran was about to leave the old mansion, he met Gu Tianhe and Gu Zimo walking side by side towards the old mansion.

Gu Zimo's face was still swollen, and when he saw Gu Pei, his expression was inexplicably a little flustered.

"Brother, why are you here?!"

"I'm coming back to see grandpa." Gu Peiran glanced at Gu Zimo and Gu Tianhe, and said seemingly casually, "I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with your uncle just after you came back from abroad." ”

Gu Zimo's expression froze, "After all, we are relatives, and the relationship must be good." It's your big brother...... There is no need to keep a cold face every day and make the relationship between relatives so stiff. ”

"Hmph." Gu Peiran snorted coldly in an uncertain sense, "Relative, you reminded me by saying that." Seeing you and uncle standing together, you don't look like an uncle and nephew, but like a father and son. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Zimo said excitedly.

He was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Gu Tianhe, who was not speaking on the side.

"AE Ran." Gu Tianhe said in a high-sounding manner, "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense." Our Gu family already has a large number of people and a complicated relationship, so if you talk nonsense, won't it make the relationship even more chaotic and worse. ”

Gu Peiran lowered his shoulders indifferently, "I just said casually, you don't need to be nervous." ”
