The true record of a female CEO’s loyal dog
Chapter 73 Gu Xu’s cousin
Shu Xue and Grandma Gu Xu looked at each other and smiled, and followed the topic to make Grandma Gu Xu happy, "On the contrary, I came in a hurry today, so I only brought some tea and supplements to Grandma. Grandma should not dislike my little family spirit~"
"Ouch~" Grandma Gu Xu smiled from ear to ear, "Look at how well this little mouth can talk."
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today. You and your family are enjoying themselves so much, but I seem to be a bit of a disgrace." A sudden male voice interrupted the chat.
With the crisp sound of a glass bottle smashing to the floor, a drunken young man staggered into the room.
He sat down on the coffee table, crudely picked up the emerald bracelet on Shu Xue's wrist with his index finger, and said to himself: "But, it seems that I came at the right time."
The man did not hide the greed in his eyes. He looked at Grandma Gu Xu: "Auntie, so you are pretending to be poor in front of me?"
"Last time I asked you to give me three million to pay off my debt, but you said you didn't, but it turns out that the antique jewelry can be easily given away."
"But that's right." The man looked at Shu Xue and said jokingly: "Now that Mr. Shu has such a rich grandson-in-law, of course he has to spend more money to catch her. If you don't want to give up the child, you can't trap the wolf. The Shu Group But it’s a gold mine.”
Mr. Shu glared at the man and withdrew his hand.
She recalled the information about the Gu family that Lin Ke had investigated before and guessed that the man was a relative of the Gu family's second room. Although she was angry at the man's frivolity, she still endured it for the sake of Gu Xu and remained silent.
Gu Xu stood up and stared at the man with a gloomy expression, "Cousin, we have never broken up with you because of our blood ties, but we can't use other people's tolerance as indulgence, right?"
"Seven months ago, on the anniversary of my uncle's death, I just gave you five million, but you went behind my back and came to my grandma to ask for another three million?"
This was the first time Shu Xue had seen Gu Xu speak so mercilessly, "Repay the debt? What debt? Is it the gambling debt you owe outside? Hehe, as a grown man in his thirties or forties, how can you It’s really embarrassing, chasing after an old lady in the next room asking for money all day long…”
The man was irritated. He jumped up from the coffee table, grabbed Gu Xu's collar and threatened: "If we hadn't been thinking about blood and family ties, we wouldn't have participated in those bad things in your family! What else can you say? Tolerance should be regarded as connivance. Why did my father become lame in his leg? How did he die later? Who turned his back on me and refused to recognize me?"
When Shu Xue saw the man suppressing Gu Xu and looking like he was about to start a fight, her face darkened as she was not planning to get involved.
But Grandma Gu Xu spoke before her, "Okay!"
The old lady who had always been elegant and calm rarely became irritable. Shu Xue could tell that Grandma Gu Xu didn't want these family scandals to be known to her.
"Don't you just want money? You can take the medieval oil painting in the flower hall on the second floor. It can be sold for at least seven million."
"Grandma! That was given to you by grandpa on your fiftieth birthday!" Gu Xu tried his best to dissuade her.
Grandma Gu Xu, however, made up her mind to put things to rest, "It's just a painting. If you don't take it with you whether you live or die, it will gather dust wherever you leave it. It's better to change it to something clean."
"no!"
Gu Xu was determined to keep his grandfather's belongings, so he had to give in and said, "That's all."
He raised his index finger at the man and pointed out the word "one", "The last time, this is the last time we give you money! Over the years, I have given you more than 50 million, and I have also helped you fill in countless holes, uncle and grandpa It is indeed indirectly related to our family, but his tragedy was not caused by us. Even if your second wife has a great kindness to us, we have not finished repaying it after so many years, right?"
Seeing that his request was fulfilled, the man smiled cheekily and complimented Gu Xu: "How about everyone say that you are the most promising among the younger generations of our Gu family?"
But after he took the check from Gu Xu, his face dropped.
"Only five million?" The man waved the check, "A big star in the country is so stingy every time he makes a move."
The man said "Hey" to Shu Xue and directed his plan at Shu Xue.
"You can be considered a family person now, why don't you do something for him?"
Gu Xu blocked Shu Xue behind him, his attitude was beyond words.
The man could only smile angrily, and then said: "If you don't want to be a pretty boy, you can go find your rich father? He has always wanted to give you the family property, but you don't want it as if you are crazy. You are the only one who wants to give it to you." With the little money you earn, it’s not enough just to subsidize the few coffee shops your mother left behind, isn’t it? He owes us the Gu family in the first place, so I don’t know what you are being hypocritical about? You just have to struggle with money..."
Gu Xu’s rich father?
Shu Xue grasped the key words from the man's words. Gu Xu's father was indeed still alive, and he was still a wealthy man. It was just as she had guessed before - the relationship between father and son was not good and there was no contact.
Gu Xu and his grandmother lived such a difficult life. Since his father was capable and owed something to the Gu family, why didn't he help?
What happened between them?
"Now that you've got the money, you can leave."
Grandma gave the man an eviction order. It was obvious that she didn't want to bring up the past.
"I'm tired……"
She turned around and forced a smile towards Shu Xue, "Xiaoxue, grandma went upstairs to take a nap."
Shu Xue took Grandma Gu Xu's hand and patted it gently. She wanted to help her go upstairs but was declined.
"Axu, take care of your girlfriend."
Gu Xu responded, leaned down and whispered in Shu Xue's ear: "It's okay, let grandma be alone for a while."
Seeing that the benefits had been obtained and there was nothing left to gain, the man headed back home: "Okay, I'll go home and rest too."
But when he walked to the door, he turned back and looked at Shu Xue carefully from head to toe.
Seeing the man's joking expression, Shu Xue had a bad intuition although she couldn't guess his intentions.
Gu Xu put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't be afraid. This cousin of mine is just a bad gambler and cannot commit murder or arson. If you meet him alone again in the future, just stay away from him. He speaks unpleasantly, so you Don’t take it personally.”
Shu Xue met Gu Xu's gaze, with feelings of distress and pity lingering in her eyes.
He was obviously the one who felt more uncomfortable, but he still comforted himself.
Gu Xu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Shu Xue. He nodded and smiled reluctantly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Do you have anything to ask?"
Gu Xu's guess was correct. Shu Xue did have questions to ask, but just now... Gu Xu's grandmother's attitude was obviously that she didn't want her to know about the family scandals in the past, so she hurriedly interrupted the conversation between Gu Xu and his cousin. Moreover, Gu Xu has never taken the initiative to mention his father. Isn't it rude to ask questions on his own?
Shu Xue struggled repeatedly, but finally suppressed her curiosity and shook her head.
She turned around and hugged Gu Xu, "Brother, I hope you are happy."
