The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter : 44

The back window of the car descended slowly, revealing an old but dignified face that made Gu Xiqiao pause for a moment.

This was the current head of the family, Mr. Gu, and also the person who brought Gu Xiqiao to the city from the countryside.

What kind of person is Master Gu?

He was the one who had developed the Gu family from a nameless family into a respected family and was considered successful in N City, so he naturally had the talent and skills to keep up with this feat. Although Gu Zuhui was in charge of the family for now, but he was still referred when something big happened.

Gu Xiqiao tightly gripped the bag in his hand as he saw the figure of the old man walking slowly into the Gu family in front of him.

Gu Zuhui and Su Wan’er were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and as soon as Mr. Gu entered, Su Wan’er who had become thin and weak in just a few days stood up and bowed to him. However, once he saw Gu Xiqiao, his gaze became poisonous and cold, and if his gaze could kill, Gu Xiqiao would have already died by now.

Master Gu did not speak as he walked to the main seat, while Su Wan’er and Gu Zuhui went to stand beside him.

Gu Xiqiao looked down at the floor with his lips slightly pursed, feeling their sharp glances at him.

“Have you been staying with your classmates lately?” Master Gu received a cup of tea from the butler and took a slow sip before looking at Gu Xiqiao, his eyes sunken but still bright and piercing.

Gu Xiqiao simply replied silently, as if it was a tacit confirmation.

Teacher Gu obviously did not wait for an answer, so he continued, “You are still young, so you don't know any of this, but this matter affects Jin greatly. Stay in the manor for the next few days without going out and contemplating. “

Gu Xiqiao suddenly raised his head. “I will do my national final!”

“Final? This kind of thing happened to your sister, and you still think about it? ” Mr. Gu's words are spoken slowly but bring about an oppressive atmosphere. “If you like to study so much, then I will ask you to go abroad to study with Jin after everything is over.”

“Butler, take him to his room,” Master Gu orders.

So he's gonna put her under house arrest, yeah …

Gu Xiqiao closed his eyes, many thoughts running through his head as he processed the information. He had always thought that Mr. Gu was a fair and just person, but now he realized that he was wrong.

In the eyes of the Gu family, Gu Xiqiao was just a country boy who had been saved by Mr Gu from a remote countryside and gave him a good life, and what did he do? To them, he was the root of all their problems, and even caused the heir of the Gu family to be destroyed overnight! To them, he was a leech that bit the hand that fed him.

In his previous life, he had helped the Gu family more than enough, but he was treated like a pawn and burned to death!

Gu Xijin had so many chances, but he still caused all of this to happen, and who could he blame? Did Master Gu bring him back to the Gu family with such pure motives? He only wanted to use it as a stepping stone for Gu Xijin!

The current generation of the Gu family was quite unreliable, with Gu Zuhui lacking courage and foresight while Gu Xijin was just mediocre, though, so Mr. Gu should get all the connections he can.

Gu Xiqiao knew this from the first day he brought her to the Gu family, and this was also the reason why Su Wan’er had not done anything too excessive to her. Gu Xiqiao had even tried to hide all of his talents and skills in order not to cause trouble, but even then, Gu Xiqiao still refused to let go!

Gu Xiqiao walked step by step up the stairs behind the butler with his head bowed, his black hair hiding a sense of disgust in his expression.

The butler glanced at him as if he was looking at a dead man, and closed the door after Gu Xiqiao entered, locking him with the key as he did.

Three, Four, watch him! The butler ordered the two maids who were nearby, before turning to the other maids. “Our number hasn't eaten yet, so go and tell the kitchen to make some Furong Chicken for her so Lady Su can bring it for her.”

The servant in question nodded respectfully and left.

Of course, the ‘Nona’ in question is Gu Xijin. In the Gu family, Gu Xiqiao had never been truly recognized by the staff members serving them.

Downstairs, Mr. Gu's expression immediately darkened after Gu Xiqiao left, smashing his porcelain cup onto the floor, making Su Wan’er's shoulders and Gu Zuhui jump in fright as they broke out in cold sweat.

“If things don't get as bad as they did, do you two plan to hide this from me forever? In just five days, the shares of the Gu family had already stopped trading, and all those investors withdrew their investments! Aren't you talented and skilled? Don't you want to bid for the National Base? Gu Zuhui, do you only know how to run to me when you get into trouble, hm? ” Mr. Gu gripped one of the sofa arms as he spoke, taking a deep breath as his face flushed red in anger.

It was rare for him to be so angry, so Su Wan’er and Gu Zuhui did not know how to react.

After a long time Mr. Gu did not speak, Gu Zuhui finally gathered the courage to speak, “I have tried to investigate the mastermind behind all this, and I found out that the man from the press conference had one side of the Yin family branch, and had helped them bid for the National Base. “

“So you think this was all planned by the Yin family?” Master Gu looked at Gu Zuhui, before lowering his head in thought.

Then, he sighed softly and shook his head in disappointment. “Zuhui, I won't be able to live much longer. If you can't even deal with something like this, how can I hand over the Gu Family to you? You were wrong from the start, Ah Jin was your daughter, but wasn't Gu Xiqiao your daughter as well? If you force her to apologize to Ah Jin in front of everyone it will eventually embarrass the Gu family, and even give others a chance to interfere! “

“I will handle this myself, so all you have to do is keep an eye on Gu Xiqiao and not let him appear in the public eye for now.” Master Gu glanced at Gu Zuhui again in disappointment.

A coward without any opinion and will or plan .. And Ah Jin seemed to have no talent either. As for Gu Xiqiao who only knew how to cause trouble …

He regretted bringing her back to the family!
