Gu Feng sneered from his nose: "You really regard this woman as a treasure. Others don't want it, but you are very happy to pick it up. The outside world doesn't know what to say about our family, and they may make jokes about it."
Everyone looked at each other, and the whole place was quiet for a while.
Cheng Lu frowned slightly.
She dislikes this little aunt of the Gu family very much.
Acerbic, arrogant, this woman has it all.
Gu Ci looked over coldly, and Gu Feng's smile suddenly became a little stuck.
Mr. Gu smoothed things over: "Today is a family dinner, and your aunt is also helping to prepare it until now, so she must be very tired. Hurry up and sit down and eat."
Cheng Lu pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Ci subconsciously.
For the first time, this man didn't protect her. This feeling was really strange.
If it were another situation, Gu Ci would definitely protect her...
Sure enough, because it was in the Gu family and in front of Mr. Gu, even he had some scruples.
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of loss and couldn't describe what she felt.
Gu Ci took her and sat beside Mr. Gu.
As soon as she sat down, she felt the sick energy on Mr. Gu's body.
This feeling... is not good.
If he doesn't think of a way out, Mr. Gu's deadline will only be within a day or two.
To outsiders, they would only think that Mr. Gu was in good spirits, but in Cheng Lu's eyes, this was just a reflection of his past. This was Gu Ci's grandfather, the only person he cared about in the Gu family...
She didn't want to see Gu Ci sad.
Without thinking too much, she quietly used her power to explore, hoping to help Mr. Gu purify the crisis in his body.
Unexpectedly, with a slight movement of her fingertips, she was tightly grasped by another big hand.
Looking up, she met Gu Ci's cold eyes.
"Don't make trouble." The man warned, "Sit down and eat."
"But……"
Not only did Gu Ci's hand not loosen, but it tightened even more: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just feel free to eat."
got rejected……
Cheng Lu suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
She bit her lower lip and decided to tell this man what she had discovered.
"Your grandfather's health is not good."
Just as she said something, Gu Ci interrupted her directly: "Eat, this is a family banquet, you can just eat."
"Gu Ci..."
Just as he was about to argue, Gu Feng, who was sitting across from him, chuckled: "Ha, I'm talking about Gu Ci, you are usually such a resolute and resolute person, how come you can't even control your own wife? Or should I say that Miss Cheng is someone who has been through this before, so she doesn't care about marriage.
Know more than my nephew?"
This woman... would always make an issue out of Cheng Lu's marriage history.
Cheng Lu straightened his back and sneered: "Although I have more experience than Gu Ci, Gu Ci is not an ordinary person. How can I compare with other men? Every couple has their own way of getting along. Instead of focusing on us, aunt
, why not pay more attention to yourself, does my aunt have any clues about the case that was brought to court?"
Gu Feng got angry and slapped the table: "How dare you be disrespectful to your elders?!"
"No way."
Cheng Lu covered his heart with a frightened look on his face. He said, "Auntie, you have wronged a good person. Our family is not good at words. I just expressed my concern for him."
Gu Feng was so angry that his face changed.
Not long ago, she suffered a marriage change, her husband's family went bankrupt, and she caused a stir in neighboring towns over her fight for property.
He even went to the extent of breaking the jar and going to court directly.
This isn't news.
Basically everyone here has heard about it.
It's just that it's hard to put such rumors in the public face openly. The Gu family's identity is here, and no one of them dares to expose it to their faces.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu, who had just taken office recently, would immediately break up with her.
Gu Feng was so angry that half of his body was numb.
"Gu Ci, you don't care? This girl is so bold that she can even make fun of her elders!" Gu Feng knew that as long as Mr. Gu was around, Gu Ci would not refuse to admit that he was a member of the Gu family and would simply have a fit.
The man had a calm expression and served Cheng Lu a bowl of soup.
"You think too much. Lulu is just following the same example. You just made fun of her, and she was just reciprocating."
Gu Feng almost choked at this man's words.
Cheng Lu felt relieved, his tense little face finally relaxed a lot.
But... her eyes fell on Mr. Gu beside her, and her mood fluctuated again.
No, she can't just sit back and watch.
As a doctor, she is skilled in both medicine and medicine. Since she chooses this path to be reincarnated, she cannot ignore death.
What's more, this is Gu Ci's grandfather!
She still couldn't explain her feelings for this man.
But one thing is certain, Gu Ci protects her like a treasure, and she also wants to use her own strength to protect him.
After the family banquet, Mr. Gu planned to go back to his room to rest. Before leaving, he ordered Gu to leave the study and sign all the documents he had prepared.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several Gu family members at the scene suddenly changed.
"Dad, isn't this good... Gu Ci is unruly and has had trouble with us before." Gu Feng was the first to object.
Gu Bai followed closely: "Yes, I know you love your grandchildren, but you can't be so partial."
Mr. Gu waved his hand: "I have already decided on this matter, no need to say more."
Several elders of the Gu family exchanged glances and lowered their heads angrily.
Gu resigned from the study, and Cheng Lu quietly followed Mr. Gu upstairs while no one noticed.
Mr. Gu returned to the room, sat beside the bed, and sighed heavily.
"Little girl, why are you following me here?"
Cheng Lu poked half of his face out from the door. She was already so gentle that no one outside noticed her. This old man was quite powerful and noticed her right away.
"Hey, are you still hiding from people? Come out and show me."
Mr. Gu urged.
Cheng Lu walked out and walked step by step in front of the old grandfather.
"Is it you... The girl that this boy has been obsessed with for so many years finally got what he wanted!"
Mr. Gu looked at her carefully, with a direct look in his eyes, which made Cheng Lu feel uncomfortable all over.
"Hello Grandpa Gu."
"Humph, there's no need to get close to me, I don't like you."
"Is it because of Gu Ci? Do you think he deserves better?"
"You're a little girl who still has some sharp eyesight. Yes, I trained Gu Ci myself. I have had high hopes for him since he was a child."
Cheng Lu looked at him quietly and suddenly said: "In that case, why was he an abandoned son again ten years ago? Where were you at that time?"
Mr. Gu is stuck.
His originally cloudy eyes suddenly burst into a strange light.
"Little girl, come closer. Did Gu Ci tell you this?"
She walked to Mr. Gu, sat down directly, and shrugged: "Last time Aunt Gu Feng came to trouble me, I heard a word or two."
Mr. Gu was happy: "You are interesting, so why did you marry Gu Ci?"
He paused and said, "You haven't fallen in love with him yet, right?"
