"By the way, I haven't seen your son in several years."
"In the past few years, I haven't been at Harvard. I don't like to go home. I always stay outside. I haven't seen him a few times.
"
"I heard from my father-in-law that they seem to be gathering together for a meeting these two days."
………………………………
It is indeed a meeting, a clan meeting.
In two days, the men of the Gu family returned from various places to the Gu family's old house, which is the inner courtyard of the Gu family.
The main house, which is rarely open to the public, suddenly had more than 20 men. Some of these men were retired, and many of them were in the Gu family's industry, holding their power in various high-level positions or in all walks of life. They were considered to be
The most focused meeting of the Gu family in recent years.
"Shaocheng, everyone hasn't seen you for nearly half a year. I heard that you were injured and came over to see you. Let's sit together and chat." The eldest third uncle made an introduction in a pretentious way:
"I heard that the girl from the Zhou family has given birth to two children for you. I have never heard of you mentioning the marriage. The marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. What do you think? Otherwise, what will happen to these two children."
Isn't that an illegitimate child?
The world has a different view of illegitimate children. Gu Shaocheng himself was an illegitimate child back then, and he received a lot of looks when he first came to the Gu family. The third uncle's words were actually good for him.
Gu Shaocheng was sitting at the head table and said with a smile: "We have been preparing for the wedding, and I haven't sat down to chat with you for a long time. I took advantage of the opportunity that everyone came to see me, and it just so happened that we could sit down and communicate together."
"Shaocheng, how did you get your leg injured? In the past few months, you have been in and out of the country, and there have been a lot of rumors. We have also heard some, and we usually just listen to them as a joke, but we didn't expect that you were actually injured. Except
Your leg is injured, are you okay with other aspects of your body?"
Gu Shaocheng smiled bitterly and looked like he had a headache, "Uncle Lie's question is actually what I want to tell you today. I am not injured, but sick. I have never dared to talk to this person.
I said it because I was afraid that the Gu family would be in turmoil, but now I'm afraid it's reached the point where I have to say it. I thought about it and decided that I should let everyone know."
As he spoke, Gu Shaocheng rubbed his temples with his hands and said in a deep voice, "My disease is hereditary!"
"You may not know it well, but some people may know that my mother died of Lou Gehrig's disease. Haha, unfortunately, I inherited this disease from my mother!"
"Lou Gehrig's disease? How could this happen?"
Someone said this sentence with shock and regret, but the excitement that could not be hidden in his tone sounded ironic.
Gu Shaocheng laughed at himself and sighed: "It was really hard to accept for a while. Only now do I realize that nothing is as important as the body. The body is the foundation. It's a pity that my body, hey..."
"Lou Gehrig's disease, what is it?" Someone asked, maybe he really knew. Someone next to him explained to him in a medium voice: "I have heard of this disease. It seems to be one of the five major terminal diseases in the world. Until now,
I still don’t know how to cure it, but I heard that it can’t be cured?”
"It really can't be cured!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room showed various expressions in just a few seconds, and everyone seemed to be able to glean something from the expressions of others.
