Chapter 017(1/2)
Lu Xuan felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
In fact, her family situation is quite good. Otherwise, even if the spaceship gradually becomes more common, most people don't have such a high credit limit if they want to max out their credit cards. They are not really rich, but they live in a villa in a high-end community.
However, compared with the government, a mere villa must be thrown away immediately.
It covers a vast area, with pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, and winding paths. It feels like you have entered a small world when you are in it, and no one will lead you to get lost in a minute.
The servants and maids I met on the road all stood respectfully on the roadside to salute.
"It's so spacious!"
Lu Xuan sighed in admiration and said to Gu Wuyou: "If you really have a chance, just take it. This is definitely the rhythm of a salty fish turning around."
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Wuyou glared at her, "What's the matter? Have you ever seen a salted fish as big as Taoist Master? I just want to ask about the situation. Don't forget that I am a Taoist priest. This prosperous place is like a brocade.
I'm just a mirror image."
"You just have to be so stubborn."
Under the guidance of Xu Qing, they walked through many courtyards, which made the two of them dizzy. They wondered if this guy was deliberately causing trouble and leading them in circles.
Finally, we entered a living room.
Standing in the hall was Shangguan Yi, who was almost teased by Lu Xuan yesterday. There was another person beside her, also a young woman.
Shangguan Yi looked at Gu Wuyou with bright eyes, but hesitated to speak.
Another woman came forward excitedly.
"Brother, is it really you?!"
Hey, what's going on? Gu Wuyou was confused again.
It was too cold last night and I didn't sleep well... Well, "huddling together to keep warm" was also one of the reasons. The little kid didn't sleep well, and kept waking him up due to humping. Lack of sleep and my brain was a little slow. I suddenly had an extra fiancée.
It was enough to make Gu Wuyou confused. Why was there an extra girl so suddenly?
"I am Gu Wuyou, beauty, you are..."
"Your sister!"
Gu Wuyou: "..."
The young woman couldn't help but want to hug Gu Wuyou.
How is this possible? Pindao is a serious person!
Gu Wuyou stepped back and looked at Shangguan Yi: "I heard that wealthy people like to buy one, get one free when they get married, and escort girls with their wives. This kind of bad habit is despised by poor people! Besides, I didn't agree to marry you.
Let’s not play a honey trap, okay?”
Shangguan Yi was startled, then chuckled.
"Do I look like a girl?" The young woman looked embarrassed.
"She is really your sister." Xu Qing's voice came from behind, "Her name is Gu Pan, your biological sister."
Gu Wuyou was stunned for a moment.
Lu Xuan chuckled: "Let me just say that your parents can't be idle."
Impossible...to be idle...
Gu Wuyou suddenly turned around and glared at Xu Qing: "I have a sister who is waiting at Shangguan's house. Why didn't you tell her before?"
Xu Qing: "I have a surprise for you."
Of course he did it on purpose. He couldn't stop Shangguan Yi from "recognizing her husband" and making Gu Wuyou look bad. Wouldn't it make the man happy?
Gu Pan: "My parents named me Gu Pan, because since my brother disappeared, my parents have been thinking about me day and night, and they most hope you can come home."
So while they were looking forward to my coming home, they were also not idle...ah, they were infected by Lu Xuan. Eh? That's not right!
Gu Wuyou: "What does missing mean?"
The old Taoist must have deceived his parents by accepting him as his disciple, otherwise who would hand over his good flesh and blood to a swindler? But this is nothing more than falling for Conte's evil deeds. He may regret it after he realizes it and disappears.
Not even close to talking about it.
Gu Pan: "You were abducted by a kidnapper. My mother said that there used to be an old man who wandered in front of the house every day and sometimes bought fruits for you to eat. Our family is not short of food, but the old man talks well, so he
I didn’t drive him away…”
As Gu Pan told Gu Pan, a truth that Kong De refused to tell even if he knew he was about to die was finally exposed to Gu Wuyou.
Contrary to Gu Wuyou's guess, Kong De did not pretend to be a monk.
At first, he approached Gu Yi and claimed to be a Taoist priest of the Shenxu Sect. He talked about it in a cloud of fog, which made Gu Yi feel dizzy. He felt that this old man was a good talker and had extraordinary knowledge. This was also the reason why Gu Yi didn't let anyone chase him away later.
By the way, Conde was only in his forties at the time.
Then why is he regarded as an "old man" by the Gu family? It's very simple. If Gu Wuyou insists on being a Taoist priest for the rest of his life, sleeping in the open air and suffering from malnutrition for a long time, he will be called an old man twenty years later.
Putting aside the nonsense about cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, Gu Yi still admired the Taoist and didn't think he was a liar.
Gu Yi even held a banquet to entertain Kong De.
At the banquet, when Kong De saw Gu Wuyou, who was just over three years old at the time, he praised him with no bottom line. Gu Yi was very happy. Of course, as a father, he would like everything about his son. He didn't say anything, but actually
I just like outsiders to praise me, the less shameless the better.
The old Taoist said he wanted to take Gu Wuyou as his disciple, but Gu Yi was not happy at that time.
You are not a monk, you are just a gangster, what kind of disciple would you accept? This is my biological son, it is too late to hurt me, are you so obsessed that you let him suffer with you?
It's not like Gu Yi couldn't see how miserable the old Taoist was.
The banquet ended unhappily, and then... the old man became dependent on the Gu family.
For three full months, Kong De hung around in front of Gu's house all day long.
Gu Yi knew that the old Taoist was still evil, but he didn't drive him away or take him seriously. Who hasn't had some wishful thinking? The key is that he felt that Kong De's nature was not bad and he had no real ability, so there was no need to worry.
As a result, one morning three months later, the Gu family got up and found that the young master was missing!
Also missing was a certain scoundrel.
Gu Yi regretted it so much that he quickly sent someone to report it to the officials and personally led people to search for it. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it at all.
The final conclusion of the government was that the old Taoist was a personal kidnapper. Gu Yi's lack of vigilance was an important reason why Conde's conspiracy finally succeeded.
Gu Yi blamed himself very much. Regardless of his family ties, his heirs were not prosperous to begin with, and Gu Wuyou was his only descendant. Later, Gu Pan was born. Although the status of women in Middle-earth was as low as in ancient times on Earth, the gender of the heir was not very important.
.
When Gu Pan was nine years old, Gu Yi died of illness.
His wife also died the next year.
The couple passed away one after another. It is definitely not correct to say that it is all the fault of Comte. If it was really because of the loss of his son that he did not think about food and food, Gu Pan would not have been born, right?
But longing, regret, and self-blame must be one of the reasons.
So in a sense, it was the old Taoist Comte who killed Gu Wuyou's parents.
After Gu Pan finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Gu Wuyou stood there blankly, his eyes were confused and his face was ashen.
Xu Qing didn't know there was such a reason beforehand. Looking at Gu Wuyou's expression, he felt... so relieved!
General Manager Xu is not a cold-blooded animal. He has children and parents, so he can understand Gu Wuyou's mood at the moment. However, for Xu Qing, the engagement between Gu Wuyou and Shangguan Yi affects the future of the Shangguan family - that is, his future.
.
By extension, it is also the future of his children!
The ups and downs of a wealthy family does not mean that once you become a wealthy family, you will no longer have any worries.
The head of the family, Shangguan Yun, cannot live forever. If the Shangguan family wants to maintain everything it currently has, it needs a new helmsman, an "irreplaceable" head of the family. Shangguan Yi, who is married to Gu Wuyou, has cut off this possibility.
There is a saying on earth, "Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents."
Destroying one's future is actually more serious.
So Xu Qing watched coldly, feeling secretly happy at the same time, hoping that if Gu Wuyou was too sad, it would be best to give up on him. In this way, if he broke his promise and broke the contract, he wouldn't be ridiculed and despised...right?
Shangguan Yi walked up to Gu Pan and touched her quietly.
Gu Pan said softly: "Brother, don't be sad, my parents don't want you to be sad. This is not your fault, it's all your fault..."
Gu Wuyou: "Let me be quiet."
Damn kidnapper...he is your brother's master.
There is definitely sadness, but the main thing is still confusion.
No matter how imaginative he was, he never expected that the truth turned out to be that Master Kongde had acted as a human abductor and abducted him alive as his apprentice.
The key is that Gu Wuyou doesn't believe that Conde can do such evil things as abducting people.
The master and apprentice wandered around the world cheating and cheating, and when pushed hard, they dared to do many bottomless things, such as cheating, stealing, eating king's meals, etc. The worst time in Gu Wuyou's memory was when he snatched snacks from other children.
But abducting people... a seasoned person probably wouldn't be able to do it yet.
To be continued...
