I am fishing in troubled waters, activate the lying system!

Chapter 84
Under the dim street lights in the middle of the night, a Mercedes-Benz coupe sped by.

Gu Xiao's face was extremely solemn, as if covered with a layer of frost, the engine roared violently, and he ran directly through the intersection of traffic lights, heading towards the suburbs at the fastest speed.

It took less than 10 minutes to reach the distance that would have taken nearly half an hour.

There was a screeching sound of brakes.

"Miss, why are you here now? Hurry up and get in, it won't be too late!" Before getting out of the car, the two servants who had been waiting outside the villa for a long time stepped forward to open the car door, and said anxiously.

"When exactly did it happen? Could it be?" Gu Xiao seemed to have already guessed what was going on, but the luck in her heart made her just dare not say it.

The two servants who looked like aunts in their 40s had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads, and their expressions were extremely complicated: "Miss, let's go in quickly."

This is really not the place to talk.

Gu Xiaoxin almost raised her throat, and quickly followed behind.

He ran towards the brightly lit villa.

The decoration in the villa is simple and elegant, with furniture made of mahogany carvings and landscape paintings.

It’s not so much a villa, it’s better to say it’s a courtyard house, but this courtyard house occupies a very large area, with a garden fish pond and a rockery viewing platform inside.
The only strange thing was that there was no one in the courtyard of Nuo Da.

Gu Xiao looked dignified, as if he was familiar with the environment here, and soon walked to an inner room.

"Master and several other elders are waiting for you inside." The servant beside him said, and then left here without looking back.

open the door.

In an instant, more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the room were all focused on Gu Xiao, and their eyes were extremely complicated for some reason.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle." Gu Xiao said in a deep voice with a thin layer of sweat seeping from his forehead.

Several middle-aged people who were dressed in different clothes but had similar features nodded slightly. Except for these few people in the room, all the others in the house were the seven aunts and eight aunts who lived far away in the family, as well as the children of several uncles.

There was a violent coughing sound.

I saw an old man with silver hair sitting in the main seat in the center, only his eyes were shining brightly on his old-fashioned cheeks, and the majestic aura emanating from his body made everyone breathless.

The old man was none other than Gu Heming, the head of the Gu family, Gu Xiao's grandfather.

However, Gu Heming's complexion didn't look too good. Although his cheeks were slightly yellowed, his skin had lost the luster that a normal person should have. Even the sound of his normal breathing became heavy, like the sound of a fan.

"Grandpa, are you okay recently?" Gu Xiao had already noticed something, but she didn't expect that after only half a month of not seeing each other, Grandpa Gu Heming was a different person.

However, Gu Heming did not answer her question. He looked at Gu Xiaoshi with a flash of relief, but it was so fleeting that it was hard to detect. Then he said coldly to other people in the room: "I have already said what I should say. , I don’t want to say anything else, you can go out now!”

The tone seemed to be repelling people thousands of miles away, it was hard to imagine that the conversation in a family could be so cold.

The middle-aged people, headed by the three uncles, had increasingly complex expressions in their eyes, even uncontrollable displeasure appeared on their faces, they glared at Gu Xiao fiercely, and left the house first.

The other elders in the family followed closely and left here soon.

Only Gu Xiao and Gu Heming were left in the room.

"Gu Xiao, is everything going well in the group recently?" Gu Heming's tense expression gradually relaxed on his dimpled cheeks, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, and he looked a little older.

Gu Xiao didn't dare to neglect: "Grandpa, the directors of Wanyu Group don't seem to be very satisfied with me. The original business can no longer be profitable. Recently, I established a new department, preparing to transform into the medical field."

She quickly gave a brief account of Wanyu Group's current state of losses year after year, including the hundreds of millions of cooperation contracts signed by the new department with Real Madrid Club.

Although the profit in the medical field is astonishing, Gu Heming, the head of the family, cannot possibly not know how deep the water is. Hearing that Gu Xiao wants to transform the group's business in that direction, his face is vaguely ugly.

"Oh? I was able to sign a contract with the Real Madrid Club!" In the next second, the worries and sorrows on Gu Heming's face disappeared in an instant, and there was an uproar in his calm heart that had been tempered by the world for a long time: "This young man named Lin Tian listens. He really looks different, if you have a chance in the future, you can call him home, the old man really wants to see him."

Gu Xiao nodded slightly, remembering the extremely tense atmosphere in the house just now, and the sudden notification from his family to come back, he asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, it's so late, calling those uncles and other elders, could it be that something important happened in the family?" ?”

The severe cough came again, and it sounded as if all the internal organs were being affected and trembling.

Gu Heming quickly picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth with a painful expression on his face.

Red.
Gu Xiao who was standing next to him seemed to see something, his pupils constricted instantly, when Gu Heming removed the handkerchief covering his mouth, the dark red on the white silk was particularly dazzling.

"Grandpa! This is you." Gu Xiao looked extremely solemn and rushed forward.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Gu Heming's mouth, he waved his hand calmly and said, "I've expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, you didn't have time"

Hey.

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, those old eyes looked at Gu Xiao, full of worry.

In fact, Gu Xiao suddenly received a call from his family and rushed back. He already guessed what was going on in his heart. During the physical examination a few years ago, his grandfather Gu Heming was found to have lung problems. spread.

Later, many doctors were in vain. The only way was to temporarily suppress the deterioration of the condition with drugs.

Since half a year ago, Gu Heming could not help coughing late at night, and his breathing became more and more rapid, as if someone was choking his throat.

Has been developed until now, almost every time will cough up a lot of blood.

Seeing Gu Xiao's worried face, Gu Heming showed a smile, patted her on the shoulder gently and comforted her: "Grandpa is at this age, the loess is almost buried up to his neck, and there is nothing to commemorate, this time I really feel that there is nothing left. There is not much time left, so this is why everyone in the family was called here."

When Gu Xiao came, Gu Heming had already finished speaking.

Rather than holding a family meeting, it is better to say that leaving a will.

"It would be great if your father was still alive!" Some old events came to Gu Heming's mind, and he couldn't control his emotions: "Your uncles who don't live up to you don't even have half of your father. They said, after I leave, all the properties of the Gu family will be handed over to you!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiao's face changed suddenly: "Grandpa, I'm still young, and when it comes to dealing with those things in the family, several uncles are more experienced than me."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of severe coughing came again.

It’s just that for some reason, when mentioning the uncles in the family, Gu Heming’s face showed a look of hatred, and even faint anger: “Okay, stop talking, do you think I haven’t considered them? ? Those uncles of yours have done those things behind my back all these years, although they haven’t revealed it, but don’t think I really don’t know!”

Then the ceramic teacup in front of the table was directly overturned to the ground.

The dull roar echoed throughout the room, and the elders in the distant family who hadn't gone far could hear it even more clearly.

Even Gu Xiao who was standing next to him could clearly feel the majestic anger emanating from Gu Heming's body, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

The three middle-aged people in the courtyard looked at each other, and they all saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.

One of them, a middle-aged man with shiny back hair, stared coldly at the inner room behind him, spit thick phlegm on the ground, and cursed inwardly: "You bastard, he. Isn't it just to make more money for the family?"

"Fourth, shut up quickly, you are still at home, if the old man hears that you have been skinned!" Second Uncle Gu Xiao hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but his face still showed displeasure.

Inside the room, Gu Xiao's expression became more serious.

Although Gu Heming was going to hand over all the properties of the Gu family to her, it was not a good thing, and it might even cause unexpected troubles!
