Tokyo Prefecture is filled with all kinds of breaking news every day, but there are very few that can really shock everyone in Tokyo. However, Gu Tingye's expulsion from the Gu family really shocked the entire Tokyo Prefecture.
For a time, the name Gu Tingye became synonymous with evildoers.
From the emperor to the common people, everyone would show disdain when Gu Tingye was mentioned.
As a good friend of Gu Tingye, Sheng Changbai was the one who was most worried. However, because of Sheng Hong's strict discipline on the children of the Sheng family, Sheng Changbai did not dare to go to Gu Tingye openly.
Sheng Changbai, who cared about his friends, could only wait for his father Sheng Hong to go out secretly when he was not at the Sheng home.
But now Sheng Hong is a complete otaku. Apart from going to court, Sheng Hong hardly participates in any social activities. It is difficult for Sheng Changbai to find opportunities to go out.
"Changbai, where are you going?" Looking at Sheng Changbai's sneaky shadow, Sheng Hong's voice suddenly came from behind Sheng Changbai.
Hearing Sheng Hong's voice, Sheng Changbai suddenly trembled, and then turned around tremblingly, "Father...Father, Changbai feels a little restless recently and wants to go out for a walk! Then relax!"
Sheng Hong already knew everything about Gu Tingye's recent experiences, and of course he also knew what Sheng Changbai wanted to do when he left the house.
"Haha, Changbai, I think you are thinking about your good friend Gu Tingye, right?"
"Huh? Father, Gu Tingye should be at his most depressed now, and Changbai is really worried!" Since he saw that Sheng Hong had already seen through his thoughts, Sheng Changbai simply stopped covering up.
"Well! Then lead the way!"
“Father…huh?
Father, what do you mean?"
She thought that her father Sheng Hong would reprimand and stop her, but Sheng Changbai was about to persist. After hearing what Sheng Hong said clearly, his eyes widened in shock.
"Lead the way! Father, let's go see this old friend!" Sheng Hong repeated it again.
"Ah? Yes! Father!" Although he was confused, Sheng Changbai still said obediently.
Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai did not ride in a carriage. Instead, they were like ordinary father and son strolling around, walking leisurely and freely on the streets of Tokyo.
After many twists and turns, the father and son finally came to a simple courtyard, and then met the lost Gu Tingye.
"Uncle, Changbai, long time no see!" Gu Tingye said with a forced smile.
"Gu Er, I heard about you!
What are your plans for the future?"
“Uncle, you’d better stop calling me Gu Er!
I have now been removed from the Gu family's genealogy, and I plan to change it to my mother's surname!
As for future plans, we can only take one step at a time!" Gu Tingye explained with a wry smile.
"Gu Er, although you have been removed from the Gu family, it does not mean that you cannot use the Gu surname!
You don’t need to be so depressed, as long as you are willing, your future will still be bright!”
"Haha, uncle, please stop comforting me!
I have offended His Majesty, and there is no hope for the imperial examination. Now that I have been expelled from the Gu family, what future do I have?"
"Gu Er, we have known each other for such a long time, what do you think of me?" Sheng Hong asked suddenly, looking at the depressed Gu Tingye.
"Huh? My uncle is naturally an official in the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise he wouldn't be reused by His Majesty.
At the same time, my uncle is also a good father!
Sometimes, I also envy Changbai for having such a good father!"
"Haha, what's the use of envy!
As long as you are willing, Gu Er, I can be your father!" Sheng Hong was very satisfied with Gu Tingye's evaluation of himself, and then suddenly said in a shocking tone.
"ah?"
After hearing Sheng Hong's words, Sheng Hong no longer looked sick, but trembled and became more awake. Then his eyes widened in shock, and he looked at each other in disbelief with Sheng Changbai, who was also shocked.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Gu Er, I want to adopt you as my adopted son, what do you think?"
"Ah? This...uncle, my reputation is so bad now, why do you need to get involved in it!"
"You don't need to think about this, you just have to say whether you are willing or not!
Since I first met you in Yangzhou, I feel like I am very attached to you!
You have such a good relationship with Changbai, if you can really become my adopted son, Sheng Hong, I will be very happy too!"
After hearing Sheng Hong's explanation, Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai realized that Sheng Hong was serious, and then they became a little confused.
As for his father Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai always thought that he cherished feathers more and had always followed the rules. It was impossible for him to accept his adopted son, let alone the now notorious Gu Tingye.
"Uncle, do you really not mind caring about my reputation?"
“As the old saying goes, it’s the son’s fault if he doesn’t teach his father.
Regarding the Gu family's affairs, I don't think it's all your fault!
As for the so-called reputation issue, it is even more nonsense!
As long as you are strong enough, the so-called reputation becomes a joke!" Sheng Hong expressed his opinion disapprovingly.
"Uncle, if you really don't mind!
Gu Er is willing to recognize his uncle as his adopted father!"
"Oh well!
From now on, please change your name to Gu Changsheng!"
"Gu Changsheng? Thank you adoptive father for the name!"
"Haha, good! Very good!
Changsheng, you should take good care of your health now!
When the disease is cured, I will go back to Sheng’s home!”
"Yes! Foster father!"
...
On the way home, Sheng Changbai looked at his father in front of him. Thinking of his father Sheng Hong's "magic operation" just now, he was still a little dazed.
"Father, why do you want to recognize Gu Tingye as your adopted son?"
"Changbai, my father wants our Sheng family to be prosperous forever!
What do you think father should do?"
"This...whether our Sheng family will continue to prosper forever, what does it have to do with Gu Tingye?"
"Changbai, the reason why you are on good terms with Gu Tingye is because you have a bad temper with him?
As a father, he also values his courage and perseverance.
These are exactly what our Sheng family lacks!"
"After Gu Tingye was expelled from the Gu family, he had absolutely no way out.
If we reach out and give him a hand at this time, we will bring Gu Tingye back to life!"
"Changbai, you don't want to see Gu Tingye fall down like this with all his talents and ambitions!"
When Sheng Changbai heard Sheng Hong's explanation, he was not satisfied. Instead, he became even more confused. He always felt that his father Sheng Hong must not have told the real reason.
It's just that the authority established by his father Sheng Hong for a long time made Sheng Changbai dare not speak out to question it anymore. Instead, he could only bury his doubts deep in his heart.
...
Watching Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai leave, Grandma Chang, who had been paying attention to the situation here, quickly walked in.
"Brother Ye, I heard everything you said just now!
Do you really agree to recognize this Shanshan as your adoptive father?"
"Well! Mammy, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"No! Shanshan Ren and the entire Sheng family have a very good reputation in Yangzhou.
Although I don't pay much attention to political affairs, I still hear many people in Yangzhou praising Shanda people!
If you can really accept Shanda as your adoptive father, Brother Ye, the difficulties you are facing now will be easily solved."
"Aunt Chang, I think so too!
That’s why I agreed to recognize him as my adoptive father!”
"It's just, Brother Ye, I always feel that this person Shanda has big intentions, and we have to guard against him!"
"Haha, mama, look at me now, I'm like a mouse crossing the street, what else can others take advantage of?
As for the so-called Bai family property, I can actually feel that my adoptive father does not value it too much!"
