It was late at night, and the Gu family's old house was brightly lit.

In the luxurious and stylish hall, three generations of the Gu family gathered together.

Above the main seat, Mr. Gu is sitting upright with a cane. Although he is old, the majesty accumulated over the years in the high position is still the same as before, making people daunting.

In the hands of Mr. Gu, his three daughters and one son were on both sides with his partner, and behind them stood their respective sons and daughters.

As for Gu Sheng and Gu Chi's seats, directly opposite to Mr. Gu.As the only descendants of the next generation who are likely to succeed the Gu family, they naturally have the qualifications.

Of course, Gu Sheng was the only one sitting there at this time.

The hall was silent, Mr. Gu glanced at everyone present one by one, and then said in a deep voice: "I have a few things to explain while everyone is here today."

"Dad, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do. Don't worry about it. It's not too early now. You should go to rest early. Your health is important." Looking at the old father with white hair, the eldest daughter of Mr. Gu Gu Huilan looked worried.

"That's right, Grandpa, your body is important."

"Dad, go to rest early!"

"..."

Seeing this, other people also echoed and expressed their concern.

Mr. Gu waved his hand and interrupted everyone: "No, I know my own body very well, so I don't get in the way. I know you are all busy, and it is not easy to come over to the old house. In order not to waste too much of your time, I Let's get straight to the point. The first one is about Gu Chi. The news on the Internet is raging, and I think you should have seen it all. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Dad, it's all my fault. I failed to teach this naughty son well. Don't worry, I will teach him a good lesson when he comes back. Don't worry about this, and don't get angry because of this naughty son." Gu Ye Mingdi One stood up, blaming himself and saying sadly.

Mr. Gu didn't make any comments, but looked at the others and asked blankly, "What do you think?"

All the people present lowered their heads, did not say a word, and did not know what they were thinking.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mr. Gu looked at Gu Sheng who was opposite him, and asked him, "As a brother, don't you have anything to say?"

Gu Sheng didn't talk nonsense, and expressed his opinion directly: "Xiao Chi likes men, and he can't change it in this life. Grandpa, you don't have to force him all the time, it will only push him further and further away. The reason why you don't agree Well, if it's for the sake of face, with our Gu family's status in City B, no one dares to say no more; if it's for the sake of carrying on the family line, I'm enough. No matter how bad it is, you can let Xiaochi be a surrogate, no problem. As for these things on the Internet It's just some clown's prank."

Mr. Gu said angrily: "It's nice to say, you are in your thirties, but you don't even have a partner, what can you do to carry on the family? Ah? I've been looking forward to it for so many years, but you gave me a great-grandson! Look! Look at old Zhu's, then look at old Chen's, his great-grandson can make soy sauce, and then look at you, an old bachelor, you really embarrass my Gu family!"

"..." Gu Sheng was speechless for a moment.He also wants to find a partner, but there is no one who can close his eyes, so he can't blame him!

"Forget it, don't talk about it, let me see, I don't have the life of the great-grandson!"

Seeing this, Gu Yeming gave old man Gu a sigh of relief: "Dad, calm down, don't be so angry. It's not easy to get married these days. I'll introduce him to some good girls with innocent backgrounds. She chooses."

"Shut up, did I let you talk?" Old Master Gu gave Gu Yeming an annoyed look. If getting married was really that easy, Gu Sheng could delay until today.Especially for a wealthy family like them, marriage should not be sloppy.

After being yelled at inexplicably, Gu Yeming touched his nose sullenly, wondering where he had offended his old man again.

Mr. Gu coughed lightly, and his serious expression returned to his face: "Okay, I'll get back to the topic. Although Gu Chi is a little incompetent, he is also a descendant of my Gu family. I can train him to beat him and scold him. , but never allow outsiders to say that he is wrong. Although I am old, I am not old-fashioned, and you know what some people have done."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.No wonder Mr. Gu called them back suddenly. It turned out that he wanted to beat them up.

"Also, some people's hands seem to be stretched too far these years, and it will pass by turning a blind eye on weekdays, and I don't bother to care about it with you. But, if you play some tricks behind the scenes and harm my Gu family's Fame and interests, then it cannot be justified."

Mr. Gu's voice was not loud, but everyone present could tell that he was really angry.

If everyone could barely maintain their composure at first, but when Mr. Gu said this, most of them changed their expressions.Especially those people who already have ghosts in their hearts, suddenly feel restless, wishing to leave immediately, but they dare not!

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Mr. Gu said coldly: "It should be yours, and you should stop thinking about what you don't deserve. If someone has thoughts that they shouldn't have again, and make small moves behind their backs , then don’t blame me for not thinking about family affection.”

Hearing this, everyone present was still silent, and no one spoke.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mr. Gu put away the coldness in his eyes: "This is the first; second, from now on, Gu Sheng will be the next head of my Gu family, and all the affairs of the Gu family will be fully managed by him. Do you have any opinions on this?"

As soon as Mr. Gu finished speaking, he saw Gu Yeming stand up suddenly, fisting his hands, and said angrily, "Dad, where are you going to put me if you do this? I am your son!"

"As much as you are capable of doing great things, you can't help yourself, and you can't blame others." Regarding Gu Yeming's collision, Mr. Gu is not angry, but just seeks truth from facts.

"Since you have already decided on the candidate, why ask us!" After Gu Yeming finished speaking, he left the hall without looking back.

Openly refuted by Gu Yeming, Mr. Gu's face was a bit ugly, and he directly stopped everyone from chasing up to persuade him to stay: "Don't worry about him. Continue the topic just now, let's talk about what you think!"

As a married woman, Gu Huilan and the others have no objection to Gu Sheng becoming the next Patriarch.Compared to the arrogant and incompetent Gu Yeming, they are obviously more inclined to Gu Sheng who is capable enough in all aspects.After all, only if the Gu family continues to be strong, can they gain a foothold in the husband's family.As for Gu Zipei, who was an illegitimate child, he was completely out of their consideration.

The overall situation has been decided, Mr. Gu stopped Gu Sheng and asked the others to leave first.

"Xiao Sheng, grandpa is old, I will entrust the Gu family to you, I hope you will not disappoint grandpa's expectations of you." There were only the two of them left in the hall, old man Gu sighed, and spoke to Gu Sheng earnestly. explain.

"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Gu family will always be there."

"With your words, grandpa can rest assured. As for your father, he will be like this all his life. As long as he doesn't go too far, you can let him make troubles! Anyway, he is also your father." Thinking of myself That useless son, Mr. Gu's whole body revealed a sense of despair.

"I know." Gu Sheng just nodded, but didn't make any promises.

Regarding this, Mr. Gu didn't say anything more, but turned the topic to Gu Chi: "I've thought about it for a long time, if Xiao Chi likes a man, let him go, anyway, it's not such a big deal. Besides, I can control him for a while, but I can't control him for the rest of his life. He should be responsible for his own life. And I also discovered that, as old man Chu said at the time, twisted melons are not sweet. He pushed further and further away. Since what happened back then, if necessary, he would not even come to see me."

"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. Everything you did was for his own good. Besides, that kid Gu Chi..."

Mr. Gu interrupted Gu Cheng with a wave of his hand, exuding a sense of loneliness all over his body: "You don't need to say more, I know, he still blamed me. It was indeed my fault back then, I shouldn't use that extreme Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about it. By the way, when Xiaochi comes back, let him bring him back to see me! I heard that the person still has a child. How many years have we been in the Gu family? I've never seen a child before."

"Well, Grandpa, I'll tell him."

"Okay, it's getting late, help me back to my room to rest!"

Here, after Lin Shiya returned to the room, she could no longer restrain the anger in her heart, picked up the vase on the table beside her, and was about to throw it on the ground.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Gu Zipei hurried forward to snatch the vase from Lin Shiya's hand.

Lin Shiya's anger turned to anger, but in the end she still had her senses. It was a moment's pleasure to smash things, but if it accidentally reached Mr. Gu's ears, she couldn't bear his anger.

Instead, he threw two sofa pillows to vent the anger in his heart. Lin Shiya sat down on the sofa and said angrily, "I'm just so angry. It's also his grandson. Why is your grandpa acting like this?" It's biased!" Thinking of her years of calculations being so empty, her heart seemed to be bleeding!

"Mom, calm down. Although Gu Sheng has become the head of the family, there are no absolutes. If we think of a way, we will always be able to pull him down." Gu Shasha sat next to Lin Shiya and offered her own wise advice.

"What do you know, girl? It's so easy to change what the old man has decided."

"Mom, I think this is pretty good. I know what I can do. The Gu family can only survive forever if it is handed over to the eldest brother." Although Gu Zipei was unwilling to accept Gu Sheng's becoming the head of the family, he quickly accepted it. result.

"You, why are you so worthless!" Looking at her son who had no ambitions, Lin Shiya was so angry that she was almost speechless, "This is the Gu family, a wealthy family! This is a big family business. , you plan to hand over to others like this? I have worked so hard for so many years and paid so much, for whom? Gu Zipei, you have let me down so much."

"mom--"

As soon as Gu Zipei opened his mouth, he was stopped by the disheartened Lin Shiya who almost lost his mind: "Don't call me, I'm not your mother!"

Gu Shasha on the side glared at Gu Zipei, and accused him: "Brother, you can't say a few words, it will make our mother angry."

Gu Zipei ignored Gu Shasha and said to himself: "Maybe you don't want to hear it, but I still want to say it. Mom, I know you have done a lot for me these years, and I have always been grateful to you. And it is precisely because Knowing what you have done, in order to live up to your expectations, even if I don’t like it, I have been trying my best to make myself better all these years, just to surpass my elder brother. But in fact, I am still inferior to my elder brother in all aspects.”

Hearing Gu Zipei's confession, Lin Shiya was stunned. She found that she didn't seem to know anything about this son.

After a pause, Gu Zipei continued: "You may not know, but when grandpa announced that elder brother would be the next Patriarch, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I can finally stop chasing elder brother so desperately, and I am not suitable at all. That position. Maybe you think I'm worthless and useless, but that's the truth. I'm sorry, Mom, I let you down."

Did her son always think this way? Lin Shiya was startled, lost in thought.Could it be that she really did something wrong all these years?

"Mom, in fact, I have never understood why you are so obsessed with controlling the Gu family. Isn't it good for us now? Even if we don't work hard, we will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life. We can still live better than most of us. Everyone wants to live a comfortable and luxurious life, don't they? Also, do you think we can really control the giant Gu family?"

Yeah?Just letting her son control the Gu family has always been her life goal.For this goal, she gave up so much and paid so much, but now someone told her that everything she did was useless.Lin Shiya suddenly felt that her life was like a big joke.

"Mom, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. If we don't fight, we might not get anything in the end. Or, do you think Gu Sheng will kindly leave us something?"

"Shut up and stop fanning the flames here, brother is not the kind of person you said. Also, the Gu family is short of food for you, or clothes for you. If you don't want to live a good life, get out as soon as possible. Don't be a monster all day long!" Gu Zipei yelled at her unbearably, looking at this younger sister who was always thinking about this and that.

Gu Shasha yelled back unconvinced: "Why, what I said is the truth. You treat him as a brother, what do they treat you for!"

"Okay, you two stop arguing. I'm tired, let me be quiet for a while." Lin Shiya rubbed her aching brain and said weakly.

Gu Zipei and Gu Shasha also knew that it would be useless to talk about it at this time, so they sighed and retreated wisely, leaving space for Lin Shiya.

In the quiet living room, Lin Shiya's eyes were empty, staring at the crystal chandelier above her head in a trance, motionless like a sculpture...
