Chu Yao was taken aback.

What does Mrs. Gu mean by this?

The old man Gu sighed, and looked into the distance with his cloudy old eyes, as if he was looking at the cloud in the sky that was dyed golden red by the setting sun.

"Your grandpa and I, we grew up wearing open crotch pants together, we can say we talked about everything. One day 15 years ago, your grandpa suddenly came to ask me for a drink.

At that time, we hadn't seen each other for three years. Once this person got married, and we were both busy, we saw less of him.

After drinking too much, everyone was a little happy. Not only did they make marriage contracts for their offspring, but when it came to excitement, they even made a bet on your grandpa's school.

Now that I think about it, I have long forgotten what it was because of it. It was an ordinary and trivial matter. I said that if you lose, you will transfer the school to me. If I lose, you will give him the real estate in Qingmuyuan .

Your grandfather hesitated at the time and agreed.

The result is that your grandpa lost.

I thought it was unbelievable at the time. You must know that I have always lost bets with your grandpa, so I dared to say that I asked him to bet on that school, but your grandpa actually lost.

In fact, I wanted to let it go like this. I know that school is your grandfather's lifeblood, but it didn't take long for your grandfather to give me the school.

How could I have the nerve to ask for it, but your grandfather said he was willing to gamble and admit defeat, so I thought so, and I agreed that I would take over for ten years, and when the two children got married ten years later, I would return it to the grandson of the Chu family.

Later, something happened to the Gu family, so I went abroad to deal with it, but when I came back the next year, I heard that your grandfather had gone bankrupt, and when I saw him, I almost breathed my last breath.

I feel very guilty. If I didn't want that school at that time, your grandfather could rely on the school to tide over the difficulties, and he wouldn't be depressed because of the bankruptcy and passed away early. "

When Old Master Gu said this, his eye circles turned slightly red.

He patted Chu Yao on the shoulder: "So, this is what I owe your grandpa, son. The Green Wood Garden was originally what I promised to give to your grandpa in the early years, but I just found an excuse for a bet."

Chu Yao stared at the lake in a daze, feeling slightly startled.

He had heard from his second aunt that Mr. Gu and his grandfather had lost the school because of a bet, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would go bankrupt later on.

However, if you take a closer look at what happened before and after, you can't blame Mrs. Gu for this.

After all, the bet is for two people to gamble together. With the relationship between old man Gu and grandpa, if grandpa disagrees, old man Gu will not force it.Moreover, grandpa is willing to gamble and admit defeat. Besides, life is impermanent, and no one can predict the consequences of your current choices.

Sometimes it is because of a small matter that the butterfly flaps its wings and brings about changes in mountains and tsunami.

Chu Yao looked at Mrs. Gu.

The old man is getting old, he should be a tall and burly man when he was young, but now he is like a candle in the wind, maybe he has been unable to let go of his friend's experience for so many years, and he has been guilty for most of his life.

Chu Yao said softly: "Grandpa Gu, I don't think Grandpa has ever blamed you."

Old Mrs. Gu waved his hand gently: "I understand the truth. Many people have told me that this is your own choice in life, and you will bear the consequences of what you choose. Even before your grandfather said that he had nothing to do with me, Let me not mind, run the school well, but boy, if we hadn't made the bet that night, or if I had changed the bet, it would have been different.

We have better options, but we don't have a choice, so we feel regretful and guilty. "

Chu Yao was silent for a while, and then said, "Grandpa Gu, have you ever thought that maybe my grandpa lost to you on purpose."

Old Master Gu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Chu Yao: "I have some impressions when I was a child. Once my second uncle and second aunt took me shopping. The second aunt pointed to a dilapidated shopping mall and said that it has become like this since it was taken away. It is not as good as my grandfather's business. Second uncle Just say that as long as the school is down, nothing else matters."

Chu Yao was young at the time and didn't understand the meaning of the second uncle and the second aunt. Now that I think about it carefully, the people of the Chu family don't seem to care about other things outside of the body, except for the school.

So, could it be that his grandfather knew that he couldn't keep the school, so he used that method to hand it over to the most trusted person.

Chu Yao felt that he might ask his second uncle to find out, but he still had to appease the old man first.

Chu Yao: "So I don't think you are sorry for my grandpa, nor do you owe our Chu family anything. As for the Greenwood Garden, I can't take it anymore. You want to give it to grandpa, but grandpa has already left, and I will not accept it for nothing." Lu."

Old Master Gu: "You child!"

Old Master Gu sighed heavily: "Forget it, I won't force you anymore."

Chu Yao smiled: "That's good, Grandpa Gu, let's go back."

Old Master Gu shook his head: "Son, you go back first, and let Grandpa stay here quietly for a while."

Chu Yao: "Can you be here alone?"

Old Master Gu pointed backwards: "I am not alone."

Chu Yao looked in the direction of old master Gu's finger, and there were two security guards from the Gu family standing tens of meters away from them.

Chu Yao felt relieved: "Then I'll go back first."

Old Mrs. Gu: "Well, stay for dinner tonight."

Chu Yao smiled and said, "Okay."

After Chu Yao left, he didn't go back to the villa directly, but walked out along the path in the garden. He wanted to find the car Tang Yue drove over. The things he gave Gu Linxi were still in the car.

The Gu family garden is not particularly big, with evergreen trees forming two long rows of walls, Chu Yao can't see the outside when walking inside, but can only hear the sound of water splashing from a fountain not far away.

Chu Yao was thinking about the old man Gu's words just now, while walking forward, he just turned a corner, and a person came to meet him, Chu Yao took a look, isn't this the driver brother!

Chu Yao's eyes lit up instantly, and he waved to him: "Hi! How are you!"

The driver brother was holding a big box. When he saw that it was Chu Yao, he stopped to say hello, "Mr. Chu, it's you."

Chu Yao: "Where are you going?"

Chu Yao glanced at the box in the driver's arms.

Brother driver: "Oh, I'll help Uncle Ying move some things."

Uncle Ying is the housekeeper of the Gu family.

Chu Yao: "Oh that's it..."

Chu Yao hesitated for a moment: "Then, can I do it?"

Chu Yao looked at the driver brother with anticipation and inquiry in his eyes.

The driver brother was stunned, as if he hadn't connected to Chu Yao's signal at all.

"Yes? What can?"

The driver's little brother Zhang Er Monk couldn't figure it out, and thought to himself, did Chu Yao ask if he could move the box?but……

He glanced at Chu Yao, and saw that he was looking at him with bright eyes, implying an indescribable expectation, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like he wanted to move boxes.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the driver's mind, and he seemed to have finally opened his mind: "Oh, yes, of course!"

Chu Yao smiled instantly: "Okay, then I'll go there first."

The driver brother: "Okay, Mr. Chu, please go slowly, Mr. Chu goodbye!"

The driver brother held the cardboard box and waved at Chu Yao with one free hand.

When Chu Yao was far away, he turned around and walked with the cardboard box in his arms while muttering: "Sure enough, it's not about moving the box, but what can it be? What does Mr. Chu mean? Oh, forget it, anyway, he is a guest, so he can do it." I was personally escorted home by Mr. Gu, so I can do whatever I want! Yes!"

……

Chu Yao quickly found the car that Tang Yue drove over, opened the back seat and took out the beautifully packaged blue box.

Tang Yue was bored playing games in the car, looked up at him, and yelled strangely: "Oh! Want to find your Mr. Gu?"

Tang Yue: "Come on, I hope you won't be hacked out!"

Chu Yao gave him a thumbs down motion, took something and closed the car door with a "bang", and replied, "Remember to ask the housekeeper for food later!"

Tang Yue was so angry that he stuck his head out of the car window: "What are you asking for! Can you talk!"

Chu Yao glanced at him coldly, and said coldly, "You're about to lose the game!"

"Damn it!" Tang Yue yelled, and that round head swished back neatly.

Back at the villa, there was no one in the big living room, only Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen.

Chu Yao said hello to Aunt Wang, and went up to the second floor, which was quieter.

It was already evening, and the lights on the second floor were not turned on, only a ray of golden-red sunset outside the window sprinkled on the soft carpet under the feet, making the entire hall on the second floor immersed in a warm yellow mood.

Chu Yao stood in the middle of the corridor but was dumbfounded. He was so excited and anxious just now that he completely forgot to ask which room Gu Linxi was in.

He stood quietly, wondering if he should go downstairs and ask Aunt Wang.

But soon, it suddenly occurred to him that he could ask the driver brother, so Chu Yao took out his mobile phone and typed quickly with his fingers.

[Which room is Mr. Gu's room on the second floor? 】

After the WeChat message was sent, Chu Yao turned off the phone and waited for the driver brother to reply with peace of mind, while looking at a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall on the second floor.

However, at this moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded from behind.

"Who's where!"

Surprised, Chu Yao hurriedly turned around, only to see a tall man standing at the end of the corridor behind him.

The light was dim, and for a moment Chu Yao was so elated that he thought it was Gu Linxi, wishing he could run over immediately, but soon he saw the person standing there clearly.

It wasn't Gu Linxi, but Gu Qian who was [-]% similar to Gu Linxi.

The smile on Chu Yao's face froze for an instant, and he took a step back, showing a detached, indifferent attitude.

Gu Qian also saw Chu Yao clearly. He took a few steps forward and was very surprised: "Chu Yao? Why are you!"

He looked at Chu Yao suspiciously, and saw the light blue box in his hand: "Are you here to find me?"

Although this question was asked to Chu Yao, Gu Qian had already affirmed it in his heart.

He thought he didn't need to ask this question at all. Besides his grandfather, who else could Chu Yao know in the entire Gu family?If Chu Yao went to the second floor, who else could he be looking for?

Gu Qian couldn't help feeling complacent, and thought that even though Chu Yao was either indifferent or sarcastic when facing him, in the end, he still couldn't let him go, or wanted to sneak up to see him.

If you don't believe me, just wait and see, Chu Yao will definitely not admit it.

Chu Yao: "No!"

Gu Qian: Let's see.

Gu Qian was even more proud, and couldn't help hanging a sarcastic smile on his lips: "I still don't admit it, dare to do it or not. Hehe... But I hope you don't do this in the future, I already have a boyfriend, and we get along It's very good, you were lucky not to meet him this time, if you do this again next time, I will..."

When Gu Qian said this, he suddenly stopped.

I saw that his originally smug expression suddenly became panicked and nervous, and he desperately winked at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao didn't understand what he was playing, but felt more bored, so he took a step back.

At this time, I heard Gu Qian shouting: "Brother!"

elder brother?Gu... Gu Linxi?

Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and was about to turn his head to look at Gu Linxi, when Gu Qian suddenly strode towards him and said to Chu Yao behind him, "Brother, he is here to look for me." , went wrong, and accidentally disturbed you, I'll take him away right now."

Chu Yao suddenly felt that he was going to die of anger: "I really didn't come to find you!"

But Gu Qian didn't listen at all, he stared straight at Chu Yao, walked over a few steps, and stretched out his hand to pull Chu Yao.

Chu Yao was holding the blue box in one hand, and was in a push-off position with the other hand, seeing that hand was about to come up to pull him.

At this time, suddenly there was a cold breath approaching behind him, and a big hard and somewhat warm hand stretched out from behind, firmly grasping his wrist.

In the next moment, Chu Yao felt a strong force pulling him back, and then he bumped gently against a broad shoulder.

Between the nostrils, a faint clean breath lingered up.

Chu Yao was a little dazed by the bump and hadn't reacted yet.

Then I heard a familiar deep voice saying, "He's here to look for me."

The author has something to say:

Let me explain, even though Gong has an emotional barrier, it doesn't affect his love for Shou.

He just doesn't understand what his behavior is, just like when he is wearing a book, he instinctively lets Shou enter his own world, instinctively treats Shou and favors Shou, but he doesn't understand that he is liking
