Gong Cheng went to work, and when Tao Zhi went downstairs, he saw Mr. Gu typing on the computer at the table in the hall.

"Are you working so early?" Tao Zhi asked, yawning.

"There is no heir." Mr. Gu said.

"Why are you sitting here working?" Tao Zhi asked.

"You're old and your eyes are blurry. Your room is as dark as a cave." Mr. Gu said with a cold face, and the keyboard made a clacking sound.

"Why don't you retire at such an old age?" Tao Zhi asked.

Mr. Gu suddenly stopped typing on the computer and glared at Tao Zhi, his forehead full of anger.

"You have two heirs. One is your housekeeper, and the other insisted on returning to China to start a crappy company, saying that she wanted to start her own business. But now it turns out that she is here to mess with a man."

"You ask me now why I don't retire at such an old age? Tell me why I don't retire!" Mr. Gu was so angry that his beard was fluttering.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

This Mr. Gu is also very weak.

He just wanted to retire, what could he do wrong.

"So, what's the point of you blaming me? You should go to Gu Dongnan's room. After all, Gu Dongnan is your legitimate heir, and our housekeeper is just a passerby."

"I'm telling you in secret, Gu Dongnan and the other one are living together."

"You said they are two young people, full of vigor and vitality. If you don't stop them quickly, who knows how many of your Gu family's descendants with excellent genes will die."

"I feel sorry for you, tsk tsk tsk." Tao Zhi said boastfully.

Mr. Gu was speechless for a long time after hearing this. Even Mr. Gu did not expect that at his age, when he was about to step into the coffin, his ears would be so unexpectedly ruined by hearing such a bunch of garbage.

"You, you, how can you say such vulgar words! How could Xiaocheng fall for a shameless man like you!" Mr. Gu said angrily.

"I'm just reminding you with good intentions. If you delay stopping them by one day, the quality of your heir will be reduced by one day." Tao Zhi said leisurely.

Tao Zhi asked the housekeeper to set the table for him, then picked up a steamed bun with his SpongeBob chopsticks and took a bite, splashing a string of soup onto Mr. Gu's keyboard.

Tao Zhi was very embarrassed and asked the housekeeper to wipe Mr. Gu's computer. Mr. Gu was so angry that he closed the computer and went back to the room with the computer and crutches without even having breakfast.

The next day, Tao Zhi angrily sent Mr. Gu back to his room without even having lunch.

On the third day, Tao Zhi angrily sent Mr. Gu back to his room without even having dinner.

There was a knock on the door. Mr. Gu thought it was the housekeeper coming, so he asked him to come in. But it turned out to be Tao Zhi who came in with dumplings. Mr. Gu's face changed immediately.

"What are you doing here? Get out!" Mr. Gu said angrily.

Naturally, Tao Zhi would not obey. Instead, he closed the door and walked over, put the bowl of dumplings on the bedside table, then pulled over a stool and sat in front of Mr. Gu's bed.

After three days of getting along, Tao Zhi finally figured out what kind of person Mr. Gu was. After he took off the mysterious identity of "Mr. Gu", he found out that he was just a stubborn old man.

"Why do you have to suffer like this in my little temple? You've been staying here for a few days, and I've seen that your cheeks have become sunken. People who don't know would think that I'm mistreating you." Tao Zhi said helplessly.

"I must take A Sheng away." Mr. Gu said stubbornly.

"What about Gu Dongnan? He is your biological grandson, and you just don't care about him?" Tao Zhi said.

"He is nothing. He was just a backup option I had out of helplessness. If there was no one else around me who could be used, why would I have taken him back?" Mr. Gu snorted.

"Wow, he's such an outstanding person, yet you despise him so much." Tao Zhi teased.

"What exactly do you want to do to let A Sheng go?" asked Mr. Gu.

Tao Zhi laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Me? I didn't chain him up. If he was willing to go with you, why would you have to beg him to go back like this?"

Tao Zhi stopped laughing and looked serious for the first time.

"Mr. Gu, how about we make a deal? Do me a favor and I will help you persuade Zhu Sheng to agree to you." Tao Zhi said.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Mr. Gu asked.

Mr. Gu frowned, waiting for Tao Zhishi to speak.

"Use all your means to separate Gu Dongnan and Lang Bushin." Tao Zhi said with narrowed eyes.

There was confusion in Mr. Gu's eyes.

"What is your purpose? Did they offend you?"

"Or are you tired of Xiaocheng and have set your sights on that boy Dongnan?" Mr. Gu asked.

"Wow, your idea is really outrageous."

"They didn't offend me. On the contrary, they are all friends I cherish." Tao Zhi said casually.

"Tell me the reason." Mr. Gu's eyes were full of suspicion.

Tao Zhi was helpless, knowing that the other person would not trust others so easily.

Tao Zhi tilted his head, lowered his eyes, and looked indifferent.

"Mr. Gu, you must not have a good relationship with your children, right?"

"People like you have devoted your whole life to your family business, and even spent your entire life teaching and educating people, and have taught so many outstanding students."

"But you are quite neglectful, even cold and indifferent to your family."

"You can choose an outsider as your successor for the sake of your family's support and continuation, or you can arbitrarily treat your relatives as worthless and discarded."

"This is because you have made a choice in your heart. Compared with family and relatives, you have things that you think are more important."

"Me too."

"Now I have more things to protect, and the price is to give up many things I cherish."

"So I need to cooperate with you and do what I should do at all costs."

"I will play a villain that even I hate, even if it hurts my family, friends, and my lover."

"I'm happy with it."

After Tao Zhi finished speaking, he was silent for a few breaths and then spoke again.

"This cooperation will bring you all benefits, Mr. Gu, and no harm."

"I have written so many touching words with such deep affection. How about it, are you willing to take the bait, Mr. Gu?"

Mr. Gu finally agreed to this so-called cooperation.

Tao Zhi took the dumplings from the bedside table and handed them to the stubborn old man in front of him.

"I can't stand not eating when I'm old. These are the pork and green onion dumplings made by my nanny."

"I just asked the housekeeper to prepare this for you. Eat something. Only when you are full will you have the strength to help me with the work." Tao Zhi said.

Mr. Gu was going to refuse, but the steam coming out of the bowl and the aroma of pork and green onions were particularly attractive. He hadn't eaten this in years.

Mr. Gu took the bowl with pretended disgust and waved his hand to signal Tao Zhi that he could leave.

Tao Zhi stood up, walked out of the room, and closed the door considerately.
