After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a steady tone: "You all have a good idea of ​​your eldest brother's current situation. As for the purpose of your trip, I also know it clearly. But today I want to tell you clearly that when we separated, I never treated you unfairly, and you shouldn't have those inappropriate thoughts today."

"Qin Lan."

Mr. Gu suddenly called out.

Gu Qinlan responded: "Grandfather, your granddaughter is here."

Old Master Gu looked deep in his eyes and spoke slowly, "Among the many descendants of the Gu family, you have the most prominent status. Are you willing to temporarily shoulder the responsibility of protecting this family business until your brother can take charge on his own?"

Time is not forgiving, he is already old, and it is no longer possible for him to continue to protect the Gu family. The real threat facing the Gu family is not those illegitimate sons with ulterior motives, but the covetous people from the outside world.

However, the next generation of the Gu family is not yet mature. If they don't prepare for the rainy day, by the time they grow up, the Gu family may have been torn apart. At present, the only one they can rely on is Gu Qinlan.

This eldest granddaughter was smart, calm, thoughtful, and possessed extraordinary business talent since she was young. Unfortunately, she was born a girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely help the Gu family to move to a higher level. In addition, she is now married into the Prince Duan's Mansion, which closely links the fate of the Gu family with that of the Prince Duan's Mansion. Most people dare not easily take action against the Gu family's business.

When Song heard that Gu Qinlan was going to take charge of the family business, she immediately became anxious like an ant on a hot pot: "Father, Qinlan is already married, how can she interfere in her parents' trivial matters? Besides, the business world is like a battlefield, how can she cope with it?"

Old Master Gu glanced at her impatiently and said, "Then tell me, who else is more suitable? Is it your stupid and ignorant daughter who only knows how to stir up trouble?"

Song was blamed innocently and her face turned livid.

She was about to retort, but when she saw Mr. Gu giving her a stern look, she had to suppress her resentment and keep silent for the time being.

Old Master Gu turned his head and looked at Gu Qinlan gently: "Qinlan, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, her expression firm: "Grandfather, I am so grateful for your trust in me. As a girl of the Gu family, how can I stand idly by at this critical moment? Grandfather, please rest assured that I will do my best to protect the Gu family's assets and never let outsiders have any chance to touch the Gu family in the slightest."

In the history of the Gu family's revitalization, the Jiang family's assistance was undoubtedly a key turning point. However, when the Gu family regained their life, they did not repay the Jiang family's kindness with gratitude, and maliciously planned, causing the Jiang family's wife to suffer misfortune, the family business to be annexed, and the family members to be forced into exile.

Although Gu Qinlan has not yet obtained conclusive evidence, she knows deep in her heart that the bloody truth is beyond doubt.

Therefore, she was determined not to let any outsiders have anything to do with the Gu family, because she vowed to take back those wealth and honors and return them to the Jiang family!

Gu Qinlan lowered her eyes slightly, deeply hiding her complex emotions, but on the surface she showed the image of an extremely filial and sensible girl.

Mr. Gu's expression finally eased a little: "I am very pleased that you can understand this. You are the blood of the Gu family. If the Gu family prospers, your future will naturally be brighter."

He turned his head and glanced at everyone: "You must also understand this truth! If anyone is dissatisfied with this decision, then leave the Gu family immediately!"

Gu Dingli and other illegitimate sons, who were originally dissatisfied, immediately extinguished the fire in their hearts after hearing this.

However, how could the Song family endure it?

Everything in the Gu family should have belonged to her son. How could she feel at ease if Gu Qinlan took over the family affairs?

So, she said anxiously and palely: "Father, please take back your decision! Qin Lan is just a girl. She has never been involved in the business world. How can she be competent for such an important task? Although Dingli is still young, he has already started to learn business. Please spend more time and let him learn business from you. In a few years, no, in just one year, Dingli will be able to stand on his own..."

Old Master Gu's face was gloomy. He interrupted her and said, "Even if I am willing to give him time, will the competitors outside give him time? Forget about the future. Just look at this mess in front of us. Can he stand up and solve it now?"

Song turned to Gu Qinlian anxiously and asked, "Qinlian, where is your brother now? Send someone to send him a letter and ask him to come back immediately!"

Three months have passed since Gu Xun went out with the silver to buy grain, and he has not returned yet. He originally planned to return before winter, but who would have thought that such a sudden change would happen?

Gu Qinlian was also not sure about the current whereabouts of the grain collection team. She had lost contact with the outside world since the refugee siege. Song's question made her confused.

Seeing her expression like this, Song was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and scolded her: "I have already said that I don't agree to let him go, but you insisted. What's going on now? What do you want me to do?"

"Stop making a noise!"

Gu Qinlan sternly accused, "Father is suffering right now, but you only care about the Gu family's wealth. This is really chilling. As expected, non-original couples will never be able to work together."

Song was extremely angry and said emotionally: "Gu Qinlan, what do you mean by this! What do you mean by coveting the family property? According to the family rules, the Gu family's property should originally belong to my son Gu Xun! If you didn't have any ulterior motives, why would you interfere? You are just a married daughter, what qualifications do you have to manage the Gu family's business!"

Gu Qinlan was speechless, and turned to Old Man Gu and said, "Grandfather, I'd rather not take over the business. I have no interest in the Gu family's wealth, and I have no intention of interfering. I'm worried that I won't be able to do the job, and I'll be accused of usurping my mother's family's property in the future."

"You guys discuss countermeasures here, I will go and accompany my father first."

After he finished speaking, Gu Qinlan turned around and left as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, without any attachment to anything behind her.

Song was extremely shocked. This spoiled woman actually left like that?

Is she really indifferent to the Gu family's property?

This is the extremely wealthy Gu family! It is the unique wealth of Jindu!

She couldn't believe that Gu Qinlan would be indifferent, but he let go so resolutely, with a look of relief on his face, which didn't seem like a disguise.

Just as Song was deep in thought, Mr. Gu suddenly called out, "Qin Lan, come back."

Gu Qinlan stopped, looked back and said, "Grandfather, please don't make things difficult for me."

Mr. Gu looked desolate and pleaded, "Do you want to see the Gu family being divided up by others?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the other members of the Gu family and said, "No one of them can take on such a big responsibility. The family can only be as glorious as it is today thanks to the efforts of the ancestors of the Gu family. You are a descendant of the Gu family, can you tolerate the decline of the Gu family?"
