In front of the Shen family's old house, Uncle Wu had already received the announcement from the bodyguards. He was standing at the door and pacing left and right. Under his shiny hair, his facial features were gathered together as if at a meeting.
When the black business slowly approached, he hurriedly stepped forward. After the car stopped, he immediately helped open the door.
"Young Master..."
Gu Xiao raised his eyes and hesitated in getting out of the car. No one had called him that for many years.
Their eyes met, and Uncle Wu had mixed feelings in his eyes.
I haven’t seen it for many years, and I only see it occasionally on news TV.
The appearance of the eldest young master when he was young was still imprinted in his mind, as if it was yesterday.
"Uncle Wu." Gu Xiao looked at the high-spirited man who followed his father back then. Now his hair had turned white, his face had deep and shallow wrinkles, and his tall and straight body had become a little rickety.
This separation lasted thirty years.
Uncle Wu's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
When he heard the bodyguard came to report, he felt mixed and couldn't believe it.
"Young Master, why have you not come back until now?"
Even though Gu Xiao is now the leader of a country and everyone must respect him, in his eyes, he is still the child he watched grow up.
He glanced at Gu Ran, the woman who got out of the car and came around from the other side.
Sighing slightly.
"Let you worry about it."
"I don't have anything to do with him, it's just that the old man... alas!" Uncle Wu hesitated before speaking. The father and son had exactly the same temper, neither of them would bow their heads.
Even though Gu Xiao had people deliver things to his house every year, without exception, Mr. Shen would always ask him to throw things out.
I have been holding my breath for so many years.
Everyone else in the car also got out.
Uncle Wu looked at the crowd. Gu Xiao's family information could be found online, and he checked in one by one.
After seeing Ye Nanyi, Uncle Wu's expression relaxed slightly, he opened his mouth, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
When the old man recognized the young lady as his granddaughter, he certainly did not expect that he would find his long-lost granddaughter in advance.
Fate is really magical.
Uncle Wu led a group of people into the hall.
Gu Xiao looked around this extremely familiar place.
All the furnishings here have not even changed their positions, even the antique vase placed next to the sofa has changed. There are still gaps on it left by accidentally smashing it when I was a child, and the entire bottle has small cracks.
Shen Jiang and Shen Wei, who were sitting on the mahogany sofa, stood up immediately when they saw someone coming at the door.
"Brother." Shen Jiang still couldn't believe it.
As for Shen Wei beside him, the moment she saw Gu Xiao, tears the size of peas burst into her eyes.
"Brother..."
It was the first time Ye Nanyi saw Shen Wei like this.
In her impression, Shen Wei has always been a strong woman with a strong appearance.
Gu Xiao took a few steps closer. They had hardly seen each other in recent years. As long as he attended the business banquet, the Shen family would not send anyone to it.
In his memory, they were still the same as when they were children.
But now, all three of them are no longer young.
"Brother, why did you come back!" Shen Wei sobbed, her tears like a flood that could not be stopped.
"Why are you still so crying?" Gu Xiao wanted to pat Shen Wei on the head, but when he thought that she was already such an adult, he retracted his hand and patted her shoulder, "Stop crying, where is father?"
"Father is upstairs." Shen Jiang answered.
"I'll go up and call the old man." As soon as Wu Bo finished speaking, the study door upstairs opened from the inside.
A dark brown crutch stood at the door, and then an old figure walked out of the door.
Mr. Shen didn't seem to notice the large group of people downstairs. He walked downstairs step by step on crutches without squinting.
The entire Shen family hall was so quiet that one could hear the needle drop.
Everyone's eyes fell on the old man.
The old man was wearing a winter dark blue Tang suit with buttons, his gray hair was meticulous, and every step he took was steady and powerful.
"Shen Wei, Shen Jiang, it's time for dinner, what are you doing?"
Mr. Shen's eyes did not fall on Gu Xiao at all, as if they did not exist.
For a time, the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point.
"Old man..."
Before Uncle Wu could say anything, he was forced back by Mr. Shen's sharp eyes, "Is dinner ready?"
"Okay, ready." Uncle Wu looked at Gu Xiao, pursed his lips, and motioned him to speak.
But before Gu Xiao could speak, Mr. Shen had already ignored him.
"Grandpa." Ye Nanyi took two steps forward, a sweet smile on his face.
The expression on Mr. Shen's face immediately relaxed a little, but compared to the past, his enthusiasm for Ye Nanyi was still a little lighter.
"Father." Gu Xiao turned around and looked at the old man's straight back with his dark eyes.
Mr. Shen paused in his steps, leaning on the reflective tiles with his crutch, making a dull sound.
Shen Kangxiong sneered, his voice was very deep.
"Did you call me the wrong one, Gu Shouting? Do I, the Shen family, have anything to do with you?"
"Father, what happened back then was my fault. I..." Gu Xiao gritted his teeth. Some words were a bit difficult to say in front of his wife and children, "But I had no choice but to do that..."
"Helpless? Aren't you very capable when you cut off ties with the Shen family for a woman? You married into the Gu family and even changed your surname. Do you take me seriously?" Shen Kangxiong raised his voice a decibel higher.
The three brothers stood far away, and Ye Nanyi and her mother stood beside her father.
Hearing this, the four juniors all had expressions of disgust on their faces.
Especially Gu Sirui.
The serious face showed an expression of watching a show, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turns out that this is hereditary?
Gu Xiao frowned and breathed out faintly, "Back then you always disagreed with me and Gu Ran, but we really loved each other, and I also needed her help at that time."
Gu Sirui covered his mouth and coughed lightly, why did these words sound familiar.
"I'm sorry, father. I was too young back then and I changed my surname because I was fighting with you. I also wanted to fulfill my mother's last wish too much."
Shen Kangxiong's hand on crutches trembled slightly.
