I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Xie Hongbo?

The word 'thank you' stimulated Gu Xi's nerves.

However, in the next second, Gu Shao added in a low voice: Gu Yaobai's biological father.

Although she already had a vague premonition, Gu Xi's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Gu Shao's words.

——This is the terrifying boss behind the novel?

The appearance of the other party is a bit different from what Gu Xi imagined - in her consciousness, she has naturally put on the image of a blue face and fangs on this big guy, but she didn't expect that the other party is actually like this, it looks like It's no different from an ordinary old man walking in the park.

At most, it just looks tougher, and his eyes are still clear.

Gu Xi frowned slightly.

At this time, Xie Hongbo in the living room obviously also noticed the father and daughter who had arrived at home, and stood up from the sofa leaning on a cane, and looked at Gu Shao and Gu Xi.

The other party looked at him, Gu Xi was taken aback, and shuddered suddenly, subconsciously grabbed Gu Shao's sleeve corner and wanted to retreat behind Gu Shao.

However, after gritting her teeth, the next second, Gu Xi walked out from behind Gu Shao again, and then stood in front of Gu Shao, making a posture to protect Gu Shao.

Gu Xi's movements were small, and the people next to her didn't notice anything, but Gu Shao's small movements, her every move, fell into Gu Shao's eyes.

Looking at Gu Xi who was standing a little in front of him, who was only as tall as his arm, Gu Shao was secretly amused, but, there was also a warm feeling in his heart.

Xie Hongbo over there spoke at this time, smiled and said to Mr. Gu: Haha, this is the granddaughter you found back.

Yeah,?? His name is Gu Xi, and he's been with the two boys in our family for a year. Mr. Gu also explained with a smile, and when he mentioned Gu Xi, his eyes couldn't hide the joy and showing off.

Xie Hongbo nodded, looked at Gu Xi, and praised: It's very similar to your wife's facial features, this child looks smart.

Hearing others praise his granddaughter, regardless of who the other party is, Mr. Gu was very happy, waved his hand again, and said humbly, Smart is smart, but he is very naughty.

It's a child's nature to be naughty, it's good to be naughty. After finishing speaking, Xie Hongbo paused, then looked at Old Man Gu jokingly, and asked, The phoenix tree at your door was planted for her.

As expected of a teacher, you can see it all. Mr. Gu said with a smile.

...

Over there, the two old men were talking and laughing, but here, Gu Xi looked bored.

This……

Are you sure it's Xie Hongbo? Xie Hongbo, who had a grudge against the Gu family in the past, and who will be killed in the future?

Why do you feel that the dialogue between the two is very friendly and harmonious?

Could it be the way she knocked on the door today?

Gu Ximo murmured in her heart: I feel that my aura of being ready for battle is useless at all.

Go in. At this time, Gu Shao pulled Gu Xi into the living room, and came to the front of Mr. Gu and Xie Hongbo.

Old Master Gu introduced Xie Hongbo to Gu Xi: This is an old acquaintance of our family, Xi Xi should call Xie Grandpa.

Mr. Gu subconsciously bit down on the word 'old knowledge'.

Hearing Mr. Gu's words, Xie Hongbo waved his hands with a smile, and said, What do you call my grandfather, we are both teachers and friends, and I am not much older than you, just say thank you, Grandpa.

That's fine, let's call you Grandpa Xie. Old Master Gu smiled, but he gave a secret 'pooh' in his heart—this old guy came to their Gu family, and wanted to take advantage of his seniority, hmph, 'Grandpa' didn't want Gu Xi Call.

Although Gu Xi was a little dazed about the plot in front of her, she still kept a smile on her face when she heard Mr. Gu's words, and asked Xie Hongbo, Grandpa Xie.

Okay, okay. Xie Bohong nodded, and then looked at Gu Shao who was beside Gu Xi: Boy Shao will be gone for a while.

I didn't have time to visit. Gu Shao replied to the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

Xie Hongbo continued to say to Gu Shao in a caring tone: By the way, you made the search system that was sent up earlier, right? The higher-ups really appreciate it.

After a pause, Xie Hongbo laughed again: When we old guys were chatting before, we joked that with the new search system, the old search method in the past may be eliminated.

It's just essential work. Gu Shao replied without arrogance or rashness.

The conversation between the two seemed ordinary, but in fact there were pitfalls everywhere.

Gu Xi had been secretly paying attention to Xie Hongbo, and at this moment, she finally saw a hint of sharpness in Xie Hongbo's calm and peaceful eyes.

While speaking, Xie Hongbo seemed to let out some momentum, but Gu Shao did not lose in the slightest in terms of momentum.

A few short conversations seemed to be calm, but Gu Xi always had the feeling that a storm was about to come.

In the harmony, there is an indescribable violation.

As if aware that Gu Qinghua, the granddaughter, was looking at him, Xie Hongbo looked at Gu Xixiang and smiled kindly, but in his eyes, there was a gleam of light and darkness in a corner that Gu Xi couldn't detect.

Gu Shao's eyes were slightly cold, he patted Gu Xi's head, and said, Go up and do your homework.

Well, I'm done. Gu Xi subconsciously refused. In fact, she really wants to continue to observe this Gu family's 'enemy' here.

’ What kind of trouble will happen.

However, Gu Shao said again: Then go and endorse. There was a sternness in the business.

Oh. Knowing that resistance was futile, Gu Xi had no choice but to respond, and obediently went upstairs with her schoolbag in her arms.

——

Seeing Gu Xi's figure disappear on the second floor, Xie Hongbo looked away, sat on the sofa, and continued the previous conversation with Mr. Gu.

However, at this time, there was another Gu Shao in the living room.

Xie Hongbo first said to Gu Shao: Children, don't be too tight as an adult, you should relax and combine work and rest. Why do you treat the children as the subordinates of your Gu family who are managing them?

Mr. Xie was joking, the Gu family has a few small businesses, so there are no subordinates. Gu Shao replied calmly.

While talking, Gu Shao glanced towards the direction of the second floor. From Gu Shao's angle, he could just see the position of the railing on the second floor. At this time, Gu Xi didn't obediently go to his room to read a book, but secretly picked it up. Behind the railing on the second floor, he looked like he was eavesdropping in an 'open and aboveboard' manner.

Meeting Gu Shao's eyes, Gu Xi shrinks her neck guiltily.

After Gu Shao gave him a slightly warning look, Gu Xi was still willing to leave, but stuck out her tongue, and then smiled at Gu Shao with obvious meaning.

Gu Shao had no choice but to look away.

Facing his own question, Gu Shao answered it seamlessly, so Xie Hongbo had no choice but to end the class topic, and turned to gossip with Mr. Gu.

Ordinary small talk, but hidden secrets everywhere.

As if thinking of something, Xie Hongbo suddenly said to Mr. Gu with emotion: I envy you kid.

However, Mr. Gu waved his hands pretending to be puzzled, and said, What do you say, I have nothing to envy.

I'm envious of your children and grandchildren. I used to be a boy, but now I have a granddaughter. Xie Hongbo sighed, the look in his eyes seemed to be really envious of Mr. Gu.

Hearing this, Mr. Gu's eyes flashed a sneer, but he replied calmly: Damn, what's there to envy, these brats are incompetent, and they don't know how annoying they are every day. Tell me, I still want to envy Teacher, you are always strong and strong.

What's the point of getting stronger and stronger? I don't know how long I can last with this body. Besides, the four of you guys have all married and established businesses, and each of them has developed well. To say that you are not good enough is to be too modest.

After a pause, Xie Hongbo held his beard again and said, That looks like me, a loner who only gets bored in his later years.

As soon as Xie Hongbo said this, Mr. Gu didn't show it on the face, and he didn't know how many times he greeted the other party with Old Ancestor.

Gu Xi who was hiding upstairs was puzzled when she heard Xie Hongbo's words.

——Earlier, the Gu family had clearly clarified that Gu Yaobai was not the biological son of the Gu family. Although the whole matter was not as popular as entertainment star gossip, it was still spreading in circles. Unless this Xie Hongbo is still using the 2G network, it is impossible not to know, and he even said that Mr. Gu has four sons.

And that Gu Yaobai is obviously his own son, Xie Hongbo actually said that he is a widow, so shameless.

Gu Xi was puzzled here, while Xie Hongbo downstairs recalled many past events with Mr. Gu.

Until it was almost time for dinner, Mr. Gu warmly invited Xie Hongbo to have dinner at home, but was declined by the other party.

After several times of persuasion, Mr. Gu had no choice but to say goodbye to the other party cordially, and sent Xie Hongbo to the car with courtesy and thoughtfulness, only missing a warm hug.

It's a beautiful picture of an old friend sending each other off.

Gu Xi squatted upstairs and secretly watched the two people's enthusiasm, and 10,000 complaints had already flown through her mind.

Oscar owes each of you a statuette. Gu Xi whispered.

——Originally, when she knew that the person who came was Xie Hongbo, Gu Xi silently pumped herself up countless times in her heart before mustering up the courage and getting ready to show off the momentum of thousands of troops attacking the city and Mr. Gu. And Gu Shao agreed to the outside world and resolutely defeated Xie Hongbo.

In the end, the imaginary tense situation did not appear, and the words she had thought up to scold Xie Hongbo and fight each other were also useless.

If Gu Xi hadn't read the novel, and knew that Xie Hongbo was the behind-the-scenes boss who always wanted to harm Mr. Gu and destroy the Gu family, he might have thought that the old man who came to the house today was a kind-hearted old man who was a close friend of Mr. Gu.

Gu Xi complained frantically in her heart, but she didn't notice when Gu Shao had already gone upstairs and came behind her.

A grown-up's world is very complicated, and sometimes what you see is not what you see. Gu Shao said, and it was like teaching Gu Xi a lesson.

Hearing Gu Shao's voice suddenly, Gu Xi was taken aback.

Ah! Dad, when did you come up? Gu Xi blinked at Gu Shao guiltily and asked pretending to be stupid.

The father and daughter looked at each other for ten seconds, but Gu Xi was defeated.

Well, I just don't feel at ease, so I lie in ambush here and keep an eye on that Xie Hongbo at all times. If he dares to attack Grandpa and you, I can rush down to save you.

Hearing Gu Xi's explanation, the corners of Gu Shao's mouth twitched: You two adults, do you still need Gu Xi, a little girl with slender arms and legs, to save you?

Furthermore...

The kind of thing in your head will not happen. Gu Shao said. Specifically refers to senseless violence.

why

what?

Because Xie Hongbo is not that stupid.

Gu Xi: ... Does that mean she is stupid?

That's another problem.

Um?

Just now, why did Xie Hongbo say that grandpa has four sons and that he is a loner? He clearly knows...he is pretending, right? Gu Xi asked the doubts in her heart, but she couldn't figure out Xie Hongbo's purpose of pretending to be stupid. what is it.

Gu Shao's gaze sank, and he explained: Because he has already regarded Gu Yaobai as an abandoned son.

?! Gu Xi was shocked, she never expected to hear such an answer.

Isn't that his own son? Gu Xi opened her mouth and whispered.

Firstly, she didn't expect Xie Hongbo to be so heartless towards her own son, and secondly, she didn't expect Gu Yaobai to be abandoned by Xie Hongbo so quickly.

Looking at the doubt on Gu Xi's face, Gu Shao didn't explain it further, because if he went on to know the reasons, it might have a bad influence on Gu Xi, a fourteen-year-old child.

——Xie Hongbo is not Gu Yaobai who just gave up today, but Xie Hongbo had already given up when Gu Yaobai handed in the 'evidence' of Mr. Gu's letters privately.

Today, when Xie Hongbo came to Gu's house, the purpose of saying that was just to show his position, and to act as someone other than Gu's family to look.

If his guess is correct, Xie Hongbo is probably already dealing with the real evidence about the Gu family in his hands at this time, and forged the evidence that Gu Yaobai is the child of a defector.

The Gu family said that Gu Yaobai was the child of a good friend of Mr. Gu, so Xie Hongbo turned this 'friend' into a defector who betrayed the country. The other party fled abroad and had no choice but to entrust the child to Mr. Gu. What is the evidence, Mr. Gu's correspondence with foreign friends over the years is the best evidence.

A coldness flashed across Gu Shao's eyes, but he put it away when Gu Xi looked over.

Come down to eat. Gu Shao originally came up to ask Gu Xi to eat.

Oh. Gu Xi stood up, but wobbled, and luckily caught Gu Shao.

Legs are numb... Gu Xi smiled embarrassedly at Gu Xuan.

——

When Gu Xi went downstairs, Mr. Gu had already 'kindly' sent Xie Hongbo away.

At the dinner table, Mr. Gu called Gu Xi, Xi Xi.

What, Grandpa?

That old man who came to our house today... Mr. Gu was about to say 'old man', but after a pause, he changed to: That old man surnamed Xie.

I don't have any friendship with our family, and I'm not a good friend with me. What you saw today was to be polite with the other party. In fact, he is not a good person. How can I say it? The three views are not correct, uneasy and kind. In the future, this kind of person , you have to be careful, you know?

Xie Hongbo was gone, so Mr. Gu hurriedly explained the real situation to Gu Xi, so that the juniors should not let their guard down because of the illusion.

It's just that in front of the juniors, Mr. Gu deliberately paid attention to his words and considered the civilized language.

Gu Xi nodded earnestly——although what Xie Hongbo saw today and the way he talked with Mr. Gu was very different from what she had imagined, but she also understood that reality is more complicated than fiction, and sometimes the more The more innocuous the person who looks harmless and smiles at you, the more horrific they are.

——

At night, Gu Xi suffered from insomnia.

It wasn't because Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi secretly brought her too much milk tea when they came here at night, nor was it because of Xie Hongbo's affairs.

Gu Xi couldn't sleep because all she could think about was this afternoon when Gu Shao suddenly asked her to find her stepmother when she was in the car.

Although she persuaded herself to agree, when she thought about it again, Gu Xi was still inexplicably blocked, and at the same time, a little apprehensive.

Gu Xiwo stared wide-eyed under the quilt and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she simply took out her phone.

Gu Xi originally wanted to go to the forum to post a post to confide in herself, but she was afraid that if her identity information was exposed, it would cause unnecessary trouble for Gu Shao, after all, the other party was also considered a half-public figure.

Talk to others, but it seems that there is no one to confide in.

At this time, Gu Xi's eyes fell on the Penguin app.

Because I use WeChat most of the time now, except for occasionally registering for competitions, Gu Xi rarely uses this Penguin account, and I haven't added many friends to it.

In the entire list, apart from a few teachers from the training school and the accounts that posted the game information, Gu Xi's friends list only had one or two sparse people, and they were not online for a long time.

Gu Xi saw [aaa] in the list at first glance.

This account is the trumpet Sheng Xiuyan used before.

After losing the horse, this account was abandoned by Sheng Xiuyan and sent to the crematorium forever.

The group discussion of the three people's competition was also changed to a large size, and it was conducted on WeChat.

Looking at this 'dead' trumpet, Gu Xi moved her eyes, thought of something, and clicked on the chat dialog box with the other party - the last message from the other party was an emoji she sent a month or two ago .

Gu Xi looked at the gray head of the other party, and whispered to herself: Anyway, I don't need it... She can be used as a tree hole.

Gu Xi tried to throw an emoji over.

no reply.

—It seems that it is indeed 'dead'.

Gu Xi felt relieved, and began to export at the tree hole.

【Ahhh, I'm so annoying! 】

【You know, I feel like my dad wants to find me a stepmother! 】

【I don't really want a stepmother. 】

[Is it wrong for me to do this? 】

[You don't need to say, I know I'm wrong. 】

[But I'm just depressed. 】

[It was I who came to look for him, and it became his trouble. 】

[If it weren't for me, my father would definitely get married and have children and lead a happy life. 】

【I thought about possible girls...】

Gu Xi counted the people she could think of.

[Xu Bei, I actually don't like her very much. I always feel that at my dad's age, it's not good to find someone who can be my sister. 】

[Aunt Meng is not good either, I think she likes her boss. 】

【Who will it be...】

[Do you think the future mother will not like me, or will she be dissatisfied with my father because of me. 】Although she complained a lot, there was a trace of timidity in Gu Xi's words.

[I'm so confused, what should I do? 】

...

Mixed with all kinds of trivial thoughts and complaints, in just ten minutes, Gu Xi has already built a 99+ high-rise building by himself, and there are all kinds of 'dazzling' emoticons in the middle.

That day Sheng Xiuyan was holding the phone:? ? ?
