Absolutely fit
Chapter 60
On Saturday evening, Gu Xu drove Xia Zichen back home.Considering that my family only arrived in city n yesterday and needed to overcome the jet lag, I didn't make it early.
The Gu family's main house in City N is located in the south of the city. Although it is a bit far away, the location is very good and the environment is quiet. You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes, and the security measures are quite strict.
Before Xia Zichen went, he only heard a brief description from Gu Xu, but Xia Zichen still felt very shocked when he actually entered the area that belonged to the Gu family.
The car drove up the hill, and among the branches whose leaves had fallen off, Xia Zichen could already vaguely see the villa above the hill.It was getting late, and all the street lights on the side of the road had been turned on, illuminating the road very brightly.
Not long after, the car drove up to a heavy hollow iron door. Gu Xu took the remote control placed in front of the steering wheel, pressed it, and entered a password. After confirmation, the door opened to both sides.
Gu Xu drove in, and the door slowly closed again.
"It's quite high-end." Xia Zichen glanced at the door behind and smiled.In fact, he was still a little nervous. Even though he had prepared himself mentally last night and it had some effect, he still wouldn't be as calm as when he was back home.
"There are a lot of security measures at home, and it's a bit troublesome. I'll tell you how to do it later." It's a bit far from the station, so they usually drive back by themselves. In order to avoid the trouble of ringing the doorbell, the children of Gu's family will have a password for the door , each cipher has a different password, and the door will automatically open after being recognized by the electronic system of the gate.
After entering the gate, there is a large yard. Because of the cold weather, most of the plants in the yard are bare, only a circle of dwarf pines decorate the green scenery.
Gu Xu turned the car to the left and drove around the villa along the repaired four-row driveway.From this position, you can already see the main building of the villa and another villa on the left.I didn't feel it when I drove up the slope, but when I entered the door, I found that it was much bigger than it looked.
Gu Xu said while driving: "The building in front of me is the main building. In my grandfather's generation, there were many people in the family. The elders and the next person who took over the Gu family would live in the main building. Behind the main building, there is a relatively small one on the left and right. The villa, where juniors and uncles lived. Behind the main building is a garden, and to the west of the garden is a two-story building for servants and bodyguards."
"It sounds a bit like a feudal landowner." Xia Zichen joked. He had only seen this kind of family in the history of family economics involving Europe, and never thought that there were such families in China.
"Indeed." Gu Xu smiled, "But there are not so many rules when I come to my father. The whole family lives in the main building, and the building on the left is used by my second brother. He studies medicine and needs it." There are many things, so they are regulated separately. The one on the right is used to entertain guests, but it is generally not used.”
"Well, it's better for the family to live together, otherwise it will feel too alienated." If the Gu family is still the system of patriarchs, Xia Zichen feels that he will be scared away.
"Well, it's enough anyway." While speaking, Gu Xu's car had already entered the parking lot.
There are more than [-] cars parked in the parking lot, all of which are black, it seems that bodyguards should be sitting there.Gu Xu drove in along the parking lot, and there was a row of garages inside.
Gu Xu took out a small black remote control and pressed it again, and one of the garage doors slowly opened.Gu Xu drove the car in and turned off the engine.
The garage door fell slowly, and the sensor light on the roof of the garage was on. Although there was a light, it was not very bright.
The two got out of the car, Gu Xu led Xia Zichen to a small door in the garage, pressed the password on the number key next to it, opened the door, and the two walked into a glass corridor.
"From here, you can go directly to the main entrance of the main building. It's too cold to go outside." Gu Xu pointed to the field on the right side of the corridor, where a piece of white plum was planted, extending to the front of the villa on the left. During the flowering season, the snow-white beauty is too beautiful to behold.Even in this confined space, Xia Zichen seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
After walking through the glass corridor for a short distance, the two finally arrived at the door of the main building.
The well-dressed butler was already waiting there with a few maids. When he saw Gu Xu, he immediately greeted him, "Fourth young master, you are back."
"Uncle Fu." Gu Xu nodded and called for someone.
Butler Fu turned his gaze to Xia Zichen again, "It's Young Master Xia, welcome."
"Hello." Xia Zichen said hello politely, butler Fu's gentlemanly smile made him feel quite kind.
"It's cold, let's go into the house." Butler Fu stepped aside and asked the two to leave first, "The master, madam and the third young master are all waiting."
After entering the gate, the heat from the room rushed towards him, sweeping away the bit of coldness on his body.
"Xiaoxu is back?" Hearing the sound, Mrs. Gu Wang Yuehua walked in from the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Is this Zichen? Come in quickly." After speaking, she came up to greet her .
Wang Yuehua wore a long champagne-colored dress, a light purple shawl, and her long hair tied behind her head. A man in his fifties who looked less than forty, beautiful and graceful, very noble.
"Hello, Auntie." Xia Zichen greeted politely.Sometimes Bubi didn't know, but now standing face to face like this made Xia Zichen understand what kind of woman is called luxurious. Even without any expensive decorations, Wang Yuehua made him feel that she had a natural gorgeous temperament and charm.
"Okay, welcome to the house." Wang Yuehua took Xia Zichen's hand naturally, "Come in, why are your hands so cold, are they cold?"
"It's okay." Xia Zichen pursed his lips. For him who had never received a mother's love, Wang Yuehua's few words made him warm and moved.
"You are too, and you won't give Zichen a trick." Wang Yuehua glared at Gu Xu who was behind, and pulled Xia Zichen inside, "Come and warm up."
"It's because you stay too warm at home that you feel that other people's hands are cold. Besides, they just came in, so how could it be hot." A man who looked not much older than Gu Xu walked out of the living room while talking. After seeing Xia Zichen, he smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Gu Xu's third brother, Gu Ao."
"Hello third brother." Xia Zichen looked at Gu Ao.Gu Ao and Gu Xu don't look much alike, but with the foundation of the Gu family, it goes without saying that they are outstanding in appearance.However, compared to Gu Xu, Gu Ao's smiles are more, but even if he smiles very gently, Xia Zichen can feel that Gu Ao is not a really easy-going person in his bones.Just like Gu Xu can only smile at him, but basically treat others with a cold face.
"Go, you are poor-mouthed, let Zichen in." Wang Yuehua patted Gu Ao.
Gu Ao stepped aside with a smile, and Wang Yuehua led Xia Zichen into the living room.
When Xia Zichen looked outside just now, although the house was magnificent, the white exterior didn't reveal much inside.It was only after entering the living room that Xia Zichen realized what luxury was. After all, it was something accumulated over the years. Every part of the house seemed to reveal the history and strength of the Gu family, but it was not so luxurious that it lacked connotation.
At this time, Gu's father, Gu Zhengqing, was sitting on the single sofa in the living room, looking at Xia Zichen who had just entered the door.Gu Zhengqing is also very well maintained. It seems that the years have not left too many marks on his face. Gu Yan and Gu Xu are more like Gu's father, and Gu Ao is more like Gu's mother, but the aura of the three people is different. He completely followed Gu Zhengqing.
Gu Zhengqing's expression was serious, but not indifferent.After seeing Xia Zichen, his expression softened a little, and he looked carefully at the person Gu Xu brought back.
"Hello, Uncle." Xia Zichen greeted.Maybe because he has been with Gu Xu for a long time, he has become somewhat immune to the aura of the Gu family.
Gu Zhengqing looked at Xia Zichen for a long time, then nodded, and said, "Come and sit here."
Xia Zichen, who was a little nervous after being sized up, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
Sitting on the couch next to Gu's father, Xia Zichen took the bag from Gu Xu's hand and said, "It's the first time I come to the door, I don't know what to bring, a small gift, I hope uncle and aunt won't dislike it."
"Hey, you kid, didn't you say don't bring anything?" Wang Yuehua accepted the gift from Xia Zichen with a helpless tone but very happy eyes.
"It should be, as long as uncle and aunt like it." Gu Xu smiled.
Wang Yuehua took out the white scarf with light orange dark stripes, and said with a smile, "This scarf matches my clothes just right." Then she put her purple shawl aside, opened the scarf and wrapped it around her shoulders.
This scarf is much more expensive than men's, and it is designed considering the diverse uses of women, so it is just right for Wang Yuehua to use it as a shawl, and it matches the current clothes very well.
Father Gu also looked at his black one, then closed it with a smile and said, "I like it very much, it's a waste of money." Then he asked the housekeeper to deliver it to his closet and put it away.
"You're too polite, as long as you like it." Seeing that Gu's parents liked it, Xia Zichen felt relieved.
"I like it. The things from Zichen are practical." Gu's mother sat next to Xia Zichen and pushed Gu Xu away, "The things you buddies give are always flashy, and some of them are not used once a year. This is so good, go out I can take it."
Just as he was talking, Gu Yan walked in from the outside, wearing a suit, he should have just got off work, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Brother." Gu Ao and Gu Xu called out.
"Well, Zi Chen is here." Gu Yan walked over with a smile, and handed over the suit jacket with the bag in her hand to the housekeeper.
"Brother." Xia Zichen also obediently called out, compared to other people, he and Gu Yan were much more familiar.
"What did you get?" Wang Yuehua glanced at the bag that Uncle Fu took over.
"The four boxes of Blue Mountain I ordered last week have just arrived by air today." Gu Yan sat on the sofa opposite Xia Zichen, sitting with Gu Ao, "Let Zichen take two boxes and give one to his father. Yu Ze likes it." Here, they keep one box for themselves to drink. Ask the second child to take one box to the apartment, and let us drink the remaining one box."
The Gu family doesn't like to save too much coffee when they drink it, and it won't be fresh if they don't drink it for a long time, so they always buy a little less each time, and buy it after drinking it.What's more, Gu Yan is basically the only one living in the house now, so he doesn't need much coffee.
"It's still your thoughtfulness." Father Gu nodded, agreeing with Gu Yan's arrangement.
"Where's Xiaohan? When will you be there?" Gu Yan asked.
"Before Xiaoxu and the others came, the second brother got off the plane, and someone has already picked him up, so it should be soon." Gu Ao said.
"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, got up and went upstairs to change.
The housekeeper served tea to Gu Xu and Xia Zichen, and Wang Yuehua went to the kitchen to look at the dishes.
Gu Zhengqing took a sip of tea, and said to Gu Ao who was on the side: "You brother didn't prepare a gift?"
Gu Ao smiled, "How can it be, I originally wanted to talk to Zichen alone later." As he spoke, Gu Ao took out a world famous car magazine from under the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xia Zichen.
"Brother will also give you a practical one. Choose any car you like here, and I will buy it for you."
Xia Zichen looked at the cover of the magazine and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He didn't dare to drive this kind of sports car, he would definitely be surrounded by people, and the price was definitely not cheap. Even though he was the third brother of the Gu family, Xia Zichen didn't want to let people spend money.
"Third brother, I don't know how to drive." It's not easy to refuse directly, so Xia Zichen had to be more tactful.
"Go to study, Brother Qian will pay for you." Gu Ao smiled, he is from the Gu family, and he doesn't like to spend money, but he is not stingy, and he is even more generous to his family, so he never considered that Xia Zichen would have a burden.
Xia Zichen pursed the corners of his lips, "Third brother, the car is too expensive, so don't spend it."
"It's not much money, just pick the one you like. If you don't choose, I'll make the decision for you." Gu Ao had an attitude of not being able to refuse.
"Your third brother will take it if he wants to give it to you. Anyway, he has nothing to spend money on." Wang Yuehua walked over with a smile, "This can be regarded as a serious purpose."
Xia Zichen originally wanted to refuse, but Gu Xu, who was sitting next to him, answered, "Well, Chen Chen and I will think about it again, and we will tell you if we like it."
"Okay." Gu Ao nodded and let them choose by themselves.
The reason why Gu Xu agreed so quickly was because judging from the gifts Gu Ao gave him in the past, today's car is already considered normal.
Every year on Gu Xu's birthday, he would receive gifts from his third brother. When he was a child, it was good to say that since junior high school, Gu Ao's gifts were all kinds of guns, cold weapons, and basically grenades.
At first Gu Xu thought those guns were fake, until one day he took them out to have a look and accidentally shot through the ceiling of his house, only then did he realize that they were all real weapons.In the end, all these things were packaged and thrown to Gu Yan for disposal.But Gu Ao still happily gave him these things.
A few people were chatting and waiting for dinner when Steward Fu said at the door: "The second young master is back.",
Gu Yan got up first and walked out, Gu Ao followed to the door, Gu Xu got up and pulled Xia Zichen out of the living room.
Gu Han entered the door wearing a gray suit, the hem of the clothes was a little wrinkled, obviously he hurried back before he came to change.
"I'm back." Gu Yan walked over, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Gu Han smiled, and then greeted Gu Ao and Gu Xu, and the four brothers exchanged pleasantries.
Looking at the interaction of the four people, Xia Zichen was a little envious. These are brothers, and the relationship is not in words, but can be seen in actions and smiles.
Gu Han looks more like Gu's mother. When she doesn't smile, she is a bit cold, but when she smiles, she is gentle and gentle, which makes people feel very comfortable.A pair of rimless glasses obscured the sharpness in his eyes, making him look easier to get along with.
After the four of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Han noticed Xia Zichen standing behind, and said with a smile, "This is Zichen, right? Hello, I'm Gu Xu's second brother, Gu Han. Welcome to my house."
Xia Zichen also nodded in greeting.
Butler Fu has already brought Gu Han's luggage in. Gu Han opened the luggage belt above and took out a big box, "There are two sets of health care products in here, both of which have been used by our family, and the effect is not bad. You Save one, give another to uncle, and ask me for it after eating."
"Thank you, Second Brother." Gu Xu felt a little embarrassed to accept the gift, since he was originally here as a guest.I didn't expect to take away more than I sent.
"You're welcome, we're all family." Gu Han patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder, then went into the room to greet his father and mother, and then went upstairs to take a shower.
When Gu Han packed up and went downstairs, the kitchen was just ready for dinner.
The meal was very lively, the Gu family cooked more than 20 dishes to welcome Xia Zichen, Xia Zichen felt full after every bite, and Gu's mother and Gu Xu kept adding dishes for him.But I have to admit that the taste of the food is indeed very good.
"See if your father is free someday, let's meet together." During the dinner, Gu Zhengqing said.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with my father." Xia Zichen replied.
Gu Zhengqing nodded and said nothing more.
After dinner, the family sat in the side hall, chatting while drinking the coffee Gu Yanxin brought back.Xia Zichen was naturally the focus of the topic, Wang Yuehua cared about Xia Zichen in every aspect, and told him some embarrassing things about Gu Xu's childhood.
After a cup of coffee had bottomed out, Wang Yuehua said, "From now on, Zichen will be the youngest of our family. You brothers should be more concerned, and take care of everything that should be taken care of."
"Understood, Mom." Gu Yan responded first, and Gu Han and Gu Ao also nodded.
"Xiao Yaoer, if you have anything to say in the future, you can speak up. You are a family, so you are welcome. If Gu Xu treats you badly, tell me, and I will kick him out of the house." Wang Yuehua said to Xia Zichen.
Xia Zichen was still a little unaccustomed to being called Xiaoyao, but Wang Yuehua's words still moved him very much.This time, he had many more family members. This feeling made Xia Zichen very satisfied, but also felt a little unreal.
"I won't bully Chenchen." Gu Xu who was sitting next to Xia Zichen said.
"I don't listen to promises, I only look at actions." Wang Yuehua raised her chin at her fourth son.
"Isn't it a little demon?" Gu Ao smiled and said, "I originally thought that the indifferent fourth child would be single for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect to be the first to settle down. If Zi Chen wasn't a little demon, how could he control him?" he."
Only then did everyone realize that this "little demon" that Gu Ao said was not the other "little yao".
Gu Xu blushed, he knew that Gu Ao was joking, so he didn't feel angry, but it still made him a little embarrassed when a man was called a "little goblin".
"You're the one who talks a lot." Gu Zhengqing patted Gu Ao. This son has always been informal, but he is still steady in doing things, so he seldom preaches.
"Don't laugh, you might be the next one to be controlled." Gu Han took a piece of snack and ate it slowly.
"I'm welcome at any time, but the person I'm looking for shouldn't be younger than Xiao Yao, so he's still Xiao Yao." Gu Ao shrugged indifferently, not paying attention at all.
"Since you are ready to settle down with Xiaoyao, although you haven't registered your marriage yet, your existing property, Xiaoyao, should also be considered your joint property, and Xiaoyao can enjoy half of it." Gu Zhengqing said.
Xia Zichen was stunned for a moment, then said back to his senses: "Uncle, I don't want Gu Xu's things."
Gu Zhengqing smiled, "It's not what you want, it's the rights you should enjoy when you enter the Gu Family Branch."
"I..." Xia Zichen had never thought about Gu Xu's stuff, but when he mentioned it suddenly, he was really at a loss.
"Everyone who enters our house has this right, and my wife will also have this right in the future." Gu Ao said to Xia Zichen with a smile.
"I've already done this matter and signed the documents, so you don't have to worry." Gu Xu said.
"Ah? When?" Hearing what he said, Xia Zichen was a little surprised. He didn't remember any documents he had signed in this regard.
Gu Xu smiled and held Xia Zichen's hand, "The contract you signed when you came to the company is actually a property distribution agreement, but I replaced the first few pages with an employment contract, you only read the front and didn't read the back at all. Just sign it."
Xia Zichen suddenly felt very regretful that he didn't read the documents carefully, so that he jumped into the trap named Gu Xu without any doubts, even though this trap was a paradise for him.
"Okay, I apologize for not telling you in advance, but nothing is done, so don't be angry." Gu Xu whispered.
"I'm not angry, I just don't think you should share your things."
"We are a family, so we just care about this. Even if you didn't sign it before, you still have to sign it when you get married, so it should be implemented in advance." Gu Xu tightened his grip on Xia Zichen's hand.
Xia Zichen looked at him and nodded.
Gu's father and mother looked at the two talking in a low voice, but also smiled and said nothing.
That night, the two stayed overnight at Gu's house.In fact, it was a temporary decision. Gu's mother said that the room was ready, and the two of them couldn't refuse her good room, so they stayed.
After taking a shower, the two lay side by side on the bed. Gu Xu turned to look at Xia Zichen who was staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, "Is it not easy to sleep in a different place?"
"No." Xia Zichen smiled, turned to look at him, "I just feel that today is unexpectedly good. I used to only have my father, then I have you, and now I have so many family members." This is him The scene of a Qi Le Rongrong family that I dreamed of when I was a child.
Gu Xu smiled, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "In the future, we will have more and more families."
"Well, thank you." Xia Zichen said seriously.
Gu Xu reached out and hugged him, "Thank you too."
"Ah."
The bedside lamp was turned off, and the bedroom was plunged into darkness. There were faint smiles on the corners of the mouths of the two sleeping together.Family is a kind of bond, solid and warm...
The Gu family's main house in City N is located in the south of the city. Although it is a bit far away, the location is very good and the environment is quiet. You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes, and the security measures are quite strict.
Before Xia Zichen went, he only heard a brief description from Gu Xu, but Xia Zichen still felt very shocked when he actually entered the area that belonged to the Gu family.

After entering the gate, there is a large yard. Because of the cold weather, most of the plants in the yard are bare, only a circle of dwarf pines decorate the green scenery.
Gu Xu turned the car to the left and drove around the villa along the repaired four-row driveway.From this position, you can already see the main building of the villa and another villa on the left.I didn't feel it when I drove up the slope, but when I entered the door, I found that it was much bigger than it looked.
Gu Xu said while driving: "The building in front of me is the main building. In my grandfather's generation, there were many people in the family.

"Well, it's enough anyway." While speaking, Gu Xu's car had already entered the parking lot.
There are more than [-] cars parked in the parking lot, all of which are black, it seems that bodyguards should be sitting there.Gu Xu drove in along the parking lot, and there was a row of garages inside.
Gu Xu took out a small black remote control and pressed it again, and one of the garage doors slowly opened.Gu Xu drove the car in and turned off the engine.
The garage door fell slowly, and the sensor light on the roof of the garage was on. Although there was a light, it was not very bright.
The two got out of the car, Gu Xu led Xia Zichen to a small door in the garage, pressed the password on the number key next to it, opened the door, and the two walked into a glass corridor.
"From here, you can go directly to the main entrance of the main building. It's too cold to go outside." Gu Xu pointed to the field on the right side of the corridor, where a piece of white plum was planted, extending to the front of the villa on the left. During the flowering season, the snow-white beauty is too beautiful to behold.Even in this confined space, Xia Zichen seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
After walking through the glass corridor for a short distance, the two finally arrived at the door of the main building.
The well-dressed butler was already waiting there with a few maids. When he saw Gu Xu, he immediately greeted him, "Fourth young master, you are back."
"Uncle Fu." Gu Xu nodded and called for someone.
Butler Fu turned his gaze to Xia Zichen again, "It's Young Master Xia, welcome."
"Hello." Xia Zichen said hello politely, butler Fu's gentlemanly smile made him feel quite kind.
"It's cold, let's go into the house." Butler Fu stepped aside and asked the two to leave first, "The master, madam and the third young master are all waiting."
After entering the gate, the heat from the room rushed towards him, sweeping away the bit of coldness on his body.
"Xiaoxu is back?" Hearing the sound, Mrs. Gu Wang Yuehua walked in from the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Is this Zichen? Come in quickly." After speaking, she came up to greet her .
Wang Yuehua wore a long champagne-colored dress, a light purple shawl, and her long hair tied behind her head. A man in his fifties who looked less than forty, beautiful and graceful, very noble.
"Hello, Auntie." Xia Zichen greeted politely.Sometimes Bubi didn't know, but now standing face to face like this made Xia Zichen understand what kind of woman is called luxurious.

A man who looked not much older than Gu Xu walked out of the living room while talking. After seeing Xia Zichen, he smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Gu Xu's third brother, Gu Ao."
"Hello third brother." Xia Zichen looked at Gu Ao.Gu Ao and Gu Xu don't look much alike, but with the foundation of the Gu family, it goes without saying that they are outstanding in appearance.However, compared to Gu Xu, Gu Ao's smiles are more, but even if he smiles very gently, Xia Zichen can feel that Gu Ao is not a really easy-going person in his bones.Just like Gu Xu can only smile at him, but basically treat others with a cold face.
"Go, you are poor-mouthed, let Zichen in." Wang Yuehua patted Gu Ao.
Gu Ao stepped aside with a smile, and Wang Yuehua led Xia Zichen into the living room.
When Xia Zichen looked outside just now, although the house was magnificent, the white exterior didn't reveal much inside.It was only after entering the living room that Xia Zichen realized what luxury was. After all, it was something accumulated over the years. Every part of the house seemed to reveal the history and strength of the Gu family, but it was not so luxurious that it lacked connotation.

He completely followed Gu Zhengqing.
Gu Zhengqing's expression was serious, but not indifferent.After seeing Xia Zichen, his expression softened a little, and he looked carefully at the person Gu Xu brought back.
"Hello, Uncle." Xia Zichen greeted.Maybe because he has been with Gu Xu for a long time, he has become somewhat immune to the aura of the Gu family.
Gu Zhengqing looked at Xia Zichen for a long time, then nodded, and said, "Come and sit here."
Xia Zichen, who was a little nervous after being sized up, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
Sitting on the couch next to Gu's father, Xia Zichen took the bag from Gu Xu's hand and said, "It's the first time I come to the door, I don't know what to bring, a small gift, I hope uncle and aunt won't dislike it."

Just as he was talking, Gu Yan walked in from the outside, wearing a suit, he should have just got off work, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Brother." Gu Ao and Gu Xu called out.
"Well, Zi Chen is here." Gu Yan walked over with a smile, and handed over the suit jacket with the bag in her hand to the housekeeper.
"Brother." Xia Zichen also obediently called out, compared to other people, he and Gu Yan were much more familiar.
"What did you get?" Wang Yuehua glanced at the bag that Uncle Fu took over.
"The four boxes of Blue Mountain I ordered last week have just arrived by air today." Gu Yan sat on the sofa opposite Xia Zichen, sitting with Gu Ao, "Let Zichen take two boxes and give one to his father. Yu Ze likes it." Here, they keep one box for themselves to drink. Ask the second child to take one box to the apartment, and let us drink the remaining one box."
The Gu family doesn't like to save too much coffee when they drink it, and it won't be fresh if they don't drink it for a long time, so they always buy a little less each time, and buy it after drinking it.What's more, Gu Yan is basically the only one living in the house now, so he doesn't need much coffee.
"It's still your thoughtfulness." Father Gu nodded, agreeing with Gu Yan's arrangement.
"Where's Xiaohan? When will you be there?" Gu Yan asked.
"Before Xiaoxu and the others came, the second brother got off the plane, and someone has already picked him up, so it should be soon." Gu Ao said.
"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, got up and went upstairs to change.
The housekeeper served tea to Gu Xu and Xia Zichen, and Wang Yuehua went to the kitchen to look at the dishes.
Gu Zhengqing took a sip of tea, and said to Gu Ao who was on the side: "You brother didn't prepare a gift?"
Gu Ao smiled, "How can it be, I originally wanted to talk to Zichen alone later." As he spoke, Gu Ao took out a world famous car magazine from under the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xia Zichen.
"Brother will also give you a practical one. Choose any car you like here, and I will buy it for you."
Xia Zichen looked at the cover of the magazine and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He didn't dare to drive this kind of sports car, he would definitely be surrounded by people, and the price was definitely not cheap. Even though he was the third brother of the Gu family, Xia Zichen didn't want to let people spend money.
"Third brother, I don't know how to drive." It's not easy to refuse directly, so Xia Zichen had to be more tactful.
"Go to study, Brother Qian will pay for you." Gu Ao smiled, he is from the Gu family, and he doesn't like to spend money, but he is not stingy, and he is even more generous to his family, so he never considered that Xia Zichen would have a burden.
Xia Zichen pursed the corners of his lips, "Third brother, the car is too expensive, so don't spend it."
"It's not much money, just pick the one you like. If you don't choose, I'll make the decision for you." Gu Ao had an attitude of not being able to refuse.
"Your third brother will take it if he wants to give it to you. Anyway, he has nothing to spend money on." Wang Yuehua walked over with a smile, "This can be regarded as a serious purpose."
Xia Zichen originally wanted to refuse, but Gu Xu, who was sitting next to him, answered, "Well, Chen Chen and I will think about it again, and we will tell you if we like it."
"Okay." Gu Ao nodded and let them choose by themselves.
The reason why Gu Xu agreed so quickly was because judging from the gifts Gu Ao gave him in the past, today's car is already considered normal.
Every year on Gu Xu's birthday, he would receive gifts from his third brother. When he was a child, it was good to say that since junior high school, Gu Ao's gifts were all kinds of guns, cold weapons, and basically grenades.
At first Gu Xu thought those guns were fake, until one day he took them out to have a look and accidentally shot through the ceiling of his house, only then did he realize that they were all real weapons.In the end, all these things were packaged and thrown to Gu Yan for disposal.But Gu Ao still happily gave him these things.
A few people were chatting and waiting for dinner when Steward Fu said at the door: "The second young master is back.",
Gu Yan got up first and walked out, Gu Ao followed to the door, Gu Xu got up and pulled Xia Zichen out of the living room.
Gu Han entered the door wearing a gray suit, the hem of the clothes was a little wrinkled, obviously he hurried back before he came to change.
"I'm back." Gu Yan walked over, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Gu Han smiled, and then greeted Gu Ao and Gu Xu, and the four brothers exchanged pleasantries.
Looking at the interaction of the four people, Xia Zichen was a little envious. These are brothers, and the relationship is not in words, but can be seen in actions and smiles.
Gu Han looks more like Gu's mother. When she doesn't smile, she is a bit cold, but when she smiles, she is gentle and gentle, which makes people feel very comfortable.A pair of rimless glasses obscured the sharpness in his eyes, making him look easier to get along with.
After the four of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Han noticed Xia Zichen standing behind, and said with a smile, "This is Zichen, right? Hello, I'm Gu Xu's second brother, Gu Han. Welcome to my house."
Xia Zichen also nodded in greeting.
Butler Fu has already brought Gu Han's luggage in. Gu Han opened the luggage belt above and took out a big box, "There are two sets of health care products in here, both of which have been used by our family, and the effect is not bad. You Save one, give another to uncle, and ask me for it after eating."
"Thank you, Second Brother." Gu Xu felt a little embarrassed to accept the gift, since he was originally here as a guest.I didn't expect to take away more than I sent.
"You're welcome, we're all family." Gu Han patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder, then went into the room to greet his father and mother, and then went upstairs to take a shower.
When Gu Han packed up and went downstairs, the kitchen was just ready for dinner.
The meal was very lively, the Gu family cooked more than 20 dishes to welcome Xia Zichen, Xia Zichen felt full after every bite, and Gu's mother and Gu Xu kept adding dishes for him.But I have to admit that the taste of the food is indeed very good.
"See if your father is free someday, let's meet together." During the dinner, Gu Zhengqing said.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with my father." Xia Zichen replied.
Gu Zhengqing nodded and said nothing more.
After dinner, the family sat in the side hall, chatting while drinking the coffee Gu Yanxin brought back.Xia Zichen was naturally the focus of the topic, Wang Yuehua cared about Xia Zichen in every aspect, and told him some embarrassing things about Gu Xu's childhood.
After a cup of coffee had bottomed out, Wang Yuehua said, "From now on, Zichen will be the youngest of our family. You brothers should be more concerned, and take care of everything that should be taken care of."
"Understood, Mom." Gu Yan responded first, and Gu Han and Gu Ao also nodded.
"Xiao Yaoer, if you have anything to say in the future, you can speak up. You are a family, so you are welcome. If Gu Xu treats you badly, tell me, and I will kick him out of the house." Wang Yuehua said to Xia Zichen.
Xia Zichen was still a little unaccustomed to being called Xiaoyao, but Wang Yuehua's words still moved him very much.This time, he had many more family members. This feeling made Xia Zichen very satisfied, but also felt a little unreal.
"I won't bully Chenchen." Gu Xu who was sitting next to Xia Zichen said.
"I don't listen to promises, I only look at actions." Wang Yuehua raised her chin at her fourth son.
"Isn't it a little demon?" Gu Ao smiled and said, "I originally thought that the indifferent fourth child would be single for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect to be the first to settle down. If Zi Chen wasn't a little demon, how could he control him?" he."
Only then did everyone realize that this "little demon" that Gu Ao said was not the other "little yao".
Gu Xu blushed, he knew that Gu Ao was joking, so he didn't feel angry, but it still made him a little embarrassed when a man was called a "little goblin".
"You're the one who talks a lot." Gu Zhengqing patted Gu Ao. This son has always been informal, but he is still steady in doing things, so he seldom preaches.
"Don't laugh, you might be the next one to be controlled." Gu Han took a piece of snack and ate it slowly.
"I'm welcome at any time, but the person I'm looking for shouldn't be younger than Xiao Yao, so he's still Xiao Yao." Gu Ao shrugged indifferently, not paying attention at all.
"Since you are ready to settle down with Xiaoyao, although you haven't registered your marriage yet, your existing property, Xiaoyao, should also be considered your joint property, and Xiaoyao can enjoy half of it." Gu Zhengqing said.
Xia Zichen was stunned for a moment, then said back to his senses: "Uncle, I don't want Gu Xu's things."
Gu Zhengqing smiled, "It's not what you want, it's the rights you should enjoy when you enter the Gu Family Branch."
"I..." Xia Zichen had never thought about Gu Xu's stuff, but when he mentioned it suddenly, he was really at a loss.
"Everyone who enters our house has this right, and my wife will also have this right in the future." Gu Ao said to Xia Zichen with a smile.
"I've already done this matter and signed the documents, so you don't have to worry." Gu Xu said.
"Ah? When?" Hearing what he said, Xia Zichen was a little surprised. He didn't remember any documents he had signed in this regard.
Gu Xu smiled and held Xia Zichen's hand, "The contract you signed when you came to the company is actually a property distribution agreement, but I replaced the first few pages with an employment contract, you only read the front and didn't read the back at all. Just sign it."
Xia Zichen suddenly felt very regretful that he didn't read the documents carefully, so that he jumped into the trap named Gu Xu without any doubts, even though this trap was a paradise for him.
"Okay, I apologize for not telling you in advance, but nothing is done, so don't be angry." Gu Xu whispered.
"I'm not angry, I just don't think you should share your things."
"We are a family, so we just care about this. Even if you didn't sign it before, you still have to sign it when you get married, so it should be implemented in advance." Gu Xu tightened his grip on Xia Zichen's hand.
Xia Zichen looked at him and nodded.
Gu's father and mother looked at the two talking in a low voice, but also smiled and said nothing.
That night, the two stayed overnight at Gu's house.In fact, it was a temporary decision. Gu's mother said that the room was ready, and the two of them couldn't refuse her good room, so they stayed.
After taking a shower, the two lay side by side on the bed. Gu Xu turned to look at Xia Zichen who was staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, "Is it not easy to sleep in a different place?"
"No." Xia Zichen smiled, turned to look at him, "I just feel that today is unexpectedly good. I used to only have my father, then I have you, and now I have so many family members." This is him The scene of a Qi Le Rongrong family that I dreamed of when I was a child.
Gu Xu smiled, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "In the future, we will have more and more families."
"Well, thank you." Xia Zichen said seriously.
Gu Xu reached out and hugged him, "Thank you too."
"Ah."
The bedside lamp was turned off, and the bedroom was plunged into darkness. There were faint smiles on the corners of the mouths of the two sleeping together.Family is a kind of bond, solid and warm...
