Ji Jinrong rejected all those who invited him to go with him, and waited until the students were almost gone before putting on his schoolbag and going out.
When he arrived in the urban area, he changed into a new school uniform, a new schoolbag, and a new short hair. He seemed to be more attractive. Xu Jinhua would be worried every day when he went out, and wished to match him with a pair of big black-rimmed glasses.
If Shao Junying appeared in Ji Jinrong now, Ji Jinrong could tear him up directly.
Look at what he has done.
His good boy for so many years is simply pretending for nothing.
Ji Jinrong walked out of the teaching building and saw two strangers without any surprise.
One was in his thirties, with a handsome face like a young boy with green onion, he stood there hesitantly, like a middle school student waiting for an exam; She looks delicate and neat, and she should be at a young and lovely age, but her eyes are full of worry.
Very interesting two people, the roles are completely reversed.
From their appearance, it was not difficult for Ji Jinrong to guess their identities.
From the two people who came over, Ji Jinrong read the signal sent to him by the Gu family in the capital. Want to pick him up "home" instead of trying to "dispose of" him.
It's a very smart approach. If it were him, he would also take back the guides who were wandering outside. And since they are going to pick him up, of course he has to play the emotional card so that he can have a real sense of belonging to the Gu family and give full play to his value as a guide.
Otherwise, how would they dare to use him for "marriage" if they took back a guide who harbored resentment towards the Gu family
Ji Jinrong stepped forward generously and said, "Mr. Gu," he glanced at Gu Xi, "Miss Gu, let's find a place to have dinner and talk."
Hearing Ji Jinrong's address, Gu's father was stunned and nodded hurriedly.
Ji Jinrong paused, and said calmly: "The old man in my father's family is sick, and my mother and father went back to my hometown together. There is no one at home, so let's go home and eat."
Gu Xi's face changed when he heard Ji Jinrong's words.
Father Gu was dumbfounded. He spoke with difficulty: "... Dad?"
Ji Jinrong smiled slightly: "Yes, Dad. Gu Yu's child also knew when he came over. At that time, Dad just proposed to Mom. Grandpa saw that he had a good life a while ago, so he asked Dad and Mom to arrange the marriage. Everyone It's a second marriage, you don't need to make a fuss about the marriage, just live together if you want to."
Father Gu said, "You, you know everything?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Is there anything I can't know?"
Gu's father met Ji Jinrong's smiling eyes, feeling both guilty and sad. He was ashamed: "No, no, you should know, you should know."
Ji Jinrong was really surprised to see the innocent apology on Gu's father's face. I didn't expect my "biological father" to be such a person, no wonder the little girl next to me was forced to look like that. He asked Gu Xi: "Is that kid Gu Yu okay?"
Seeing Ji Jinrong looking over, Gu Xi didn't know what it was like.
Although she had thought that Ji Jinrong might be a tough nut to crack, she never thought it would be this tough.
From the moment they met, Ji Jinrong held the initiative, she couldn't get in a word from the beginning to the end, and could only let Father Gu be led by the nose by Ji Jinrong.
Gu Xi said: "No, Third Uncle just grounded him." She deliberately revealed the existence of Gu Third Uncle.
Third uncle? Ji Jinrong raised his brows, he thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "The third uncle you're talking about is Gu Jingzhen, right?"
Hearing Ji Jinrong accurately say Gu Sanshu's name, Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Have you heard of it?" How could Ji Jinrong, who had been staying in that kind of remote village, know the name of their third uncle
Ji Jinrong said, "I met once."
Gu Xi was taken aback: "Meet me once? When?"
Ji Jinrong said: "It's been a long time ago. A few years ago, I went to the capital to participate in a competition and met him. I exchanged ideas on growing flowers and so on. He's a very kind person."
Friendly? !
Gu Xi glared at Ji Jinrong.
Even Gu's father looked at Ji Jinrong in disbelief, wanted to refute a few words, but didn't know what to say.
Gu Xi still didn't believe it: "A few years ago, you were just a primary school student, right?"
Ji Jinrong said: "Yes, primary school students. Can't primary school students do it? I grew up in the countryside, so it's not unusual to know how to grow flowers."
Gu Xi simply didn't know whether Ji Jinrong was innocent or on purpose. She clearly meant that Uncle Gu would never talk to a primary school student, but he misrepresented that she suspected that he would not know how to grow flowers! He even stabbed their father with "I grew up in the countryside"!
Gu Xi looked at Father Gu, and the guilt on this emotional animal's face really grew stronger.
Ji Jinrong had already seen Gu Jingzhen's status in the Gu family from their performance.
No wonder that man felt so familiar to him. It turned out that the man's situation was similar to his back then, dragging his sick body to manage the big family that was about to completely decay. You have taken over a bad game of chess that is about to end, and you have to worry about all kinds of affairs every day, right
I just don't know what kind of crisis I encountered, even the teenage guide wanted to send it out for "marriage".
However, judging by his rough treatment of Grandpa Xu, it is expected that this game will get worse and worse. That is to say, when Grandpa Xu was unable to fight back, he retreated to the countryside in depression and hid, swallowing his anger. Would those who have the ability to fight back swallow this breath
If it was before, Ji Jinrong would never have considered sitting down with the Gu family.
But things are different now. When the "end times" come, everything is negotiable.
As long as the Gu family offers enough chips, he doesn't mind accepting it.
The premise is that they are sincere.
Ji Jinrong led the people to the market, and took Father Gu and Gu Xi to buy vegetables. It was almost the first time Father Gu stepped into the vegetable market in so many years. The wet ground was full of sewage and mud, so he couldn't help but be extra careful when walking.
Both Gu Xi and Ji Jinrong were walking on the ground.
Ji Jinrong's evaluation of Gu Xi was even higher.
Seeing Gu's father carefully avoiding the mud, Ji Jinrong could imagine what kind of life this child was living.
Both the father and elder brother are a bit stupid, and the uncle is such a strong person. Thinking about it, the child's life is very difficult.
Ji Jinrong greeted the stall owners familiarly, and bought a batch of meat dishes at a relatively low price.
Father Gu saw it, and for a moment forgot how bad the road was. He watched Ji Jinrong bargain skillfully, and quickly thought about Ji Jinrong's life over the years, and his nose felt a little sore.
Seeing Ji Jinrong walk into the kitchen, Father Gu said sadly: "I don't think he will go back with us..."
Gu Xi said, "Not necessarily."
Gu Xi felt that Ji Jinrong would go back with them, but not because of their arrival, but because of other reasons!
When the food was served, Ji Jinrong asked them to sit at the table and eat.
Ji Jinrong said, "Eat first." He ate with a calm and elegant posture, not like a poor kid who grew up in the countryside, but rather a shadow of Gu Jingzhen, the eldest son of the Gu family.
Gu's father stared blankly, inexplicably having the illusion that what he was facing was the third brother in the family.
Since he was a child, his big brother was useless, but his younger brother was better than him. During the time when he was living abroad, the second brother was raised as the heir, but when he was found by the family, the second brother was gone, leaving only the third brother Gu Jingzhen to take charge of the whole situation. As the third younger brother, he has always ignored him, but he was more popular since he was a child, and many people looked at him differently.
Many people outside are discussing that the second brother's death is related to the third brother.
The third brother never explained, and he didn't dare to ask, but when the third brother threatened to "handle" Xu Jinhua's mother and son, he was so scared that he didn't dare to take a step out of the house, for fear that the third brother would think that he wanted to find Xu Jinhua. At that time, he thought that Xu Jinhua should soon be able to forget about it after just getting along for more than a year anyway—
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinhua would be pregnant with his child.
When he found out, he thought about taking the child home immediately, but the third brother denied his idea.
Because he is already married and has a pair of twins.
The third brother said that he was sorry for one woman already, and could not be sorry for the second one—in fact, his wife should be able to bring benefits to the family, but Xu Jinhua could not.
Now that his wife has passed away for many years, the third brother also nodded in agreement, but he found that he had no way to ask Ji Jinrong to "go home".
As for Xu Jinhua—
Xu Jinhua is already married to someone else, and it was done under the witness of his other son.
Father Gu felt that he had never been so embarrassed.
Father Gu's meal was tasteless.
Seeing Ji Jinrong put down his chopsticks, Gu's father eagerly wanted to gain the right to speak: "I, can we talk?"
Ji Jinrong raised his eyebrows and said, "I never stopped you from talking."
Father Gu said, "I'm here this time, I'm here—"
Gu Xi couldn't stand it anymore: "My father and I came to pick you up. Since your mother remarried, why not go back with us! The capital's teachers and various resources are much better than here, you have to test A good university makes it a lot easier."
The corner of Ji Jinrong's lips twitched: "It's very interesting to say the words 'enroll in university' from a sentinel."
Gu Xi froze. She remembered that Gu Jingzhen said "Shao Junying is very interested in him", that is to say, Ji Jinrong actually knew that he was a guide and knew everything about the "awakened one"
Gu's father also reacted: "You, you know?"
Ji Jinrong smiled lightly: "You asked this question before."
Looking at the smile on Ji Jinrong's face, Gu Xi finally understood why Ji Jinrong gave her an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Because Ji Jinrong is very similar to Gu Jingzhen.
In the Gu family, there is no one who is not afraid of Gu Jingzhen.
Although no one dared to say it clearly, everyone knew what role Gu Jingzhen played in the "accident" that their second uncle encountered. But Gu Jingzhen controlled the Gu family in such an open manner, purged all those who disobeyed him, and turned the entire Gu family into his echoes. Gu Yuming is the eldest grandson of the Gu family, but he threw Gu Yu to curry favor with that lunatic Shao Junying without hesitation—
The most frequent smile on Gu Jingzhen's face is Ji Jinrong's current smile.
Gu Xi stopped talking.
Gu's father blushed: "Xiaoxi doesn't mean anything malicious, she's just impatient..."
Ji Jinrong said: "I understand." He took a sip of water, and calmly stated Gu Xi's intentions, "After all, there is no way to find me back, and that child Gu Yu's life will be difficult."
Gu Xi looked at Ji Jinrong blankly.
Father Gu suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Xi.
He asked: "What's going on? What do you mean Ayu's life is hard?"
Gu Xi finally couldn't take it anymore when she met Father Gu's questioning eyes. She stood up and said, "Dad, do you really think that my brother ran away for no reason? Do you not want to think about it or dare not think about it! Third uncle wants my brother to please that lunatic Shao Junying! My brother is not yet fifteen years old !"
Father Gu's throat seemed to be choked. He struggled to squeeze out a few words: "So, so you—"
Gu Xi said: "Yes! That's why I want him," she pointed at Ji Jinrong, "That's why I want to bring him home! I want him to take the place of my brother to curry favor with that lunatic Shao Junying! That's what I think! What can I do?" , what can I do—" Ji Jinrong has seen through his intentions for coming, everything is hopeless, and Gu Xi can no longer suppress the sadness and grievance in his heart. Her eyes turned red in an instant, and tears rolled down her face.
What can she do, what else can she do.
Her brother and her father always looked at her innocently and blankly, and she had to solve everything by herself-who called her a sentinel
Sentinel cannot be weak, cannot think of relying on others, and must be relied on by everyone—she has always done so. But her elder brother wants to pursue love, her father wants to bring their "elder brother" who lives outside home, and her third uncle knows everything and "kindly" proposes such a perfect solution, what else can she do? !
Gu Xi tried hard to wipe away the tears, but the tears still flowed out uncontrollably.
She doesn't want to be a sentinel at all, she is not yet fifteen years old, she wants to go to school happily like all ordinary people, get into a good university happily, and live an ordinary life.
She wants to have a pair of ordinary parents. Her mother is loving and gentle, and her father is strict and responsible. If she must have an older brother, then the older brother should be more mature and stable, instead of always asking her "Xiao Xi, what if I got into trouble?" "—
She also wants to know what to do!
A clean and soft handkerchief was handed to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi raised her head with tears in her eyes, and met Ji Jinrong's gentle eyes.
Gu Xi's heart trembled.
Ji Jinrong said, "When you're done crying, just wipe it off." He paused, and added, "You can continue crying before you finish crying."
Gu Xi's tears suddenly stopped.
Ji Jinrong reached out and rubbed her head.
He is always tolerant towards girls, even if the girl in front of him is a powerful A-rank sentinel.
Ji Jinrong said: "You should cry for them and let them know what kind of problems they have given you." He said softly, "You can't solve everything for them, everyone should do it for themselves. Responsible."
Gu Xi was stunned.
Ji Jinrong said: "So, you are also at fault for pushing yourself to this point." He looked at Gu Xi softly, "If it were me, I would never take on everything for others." Xu Jincheng, the petty and pungent Lin Meifeng, or the spoiled Xu Tianci—he was just guiding them instead of helping them solve all their problems.
The only ones who can change their future are themselves.
If you don't really realize that you need to change, no one can help them—even if you can help them once, twice or three times, you can't help them for a lifetime.
After all, Gu Xi was still too young.
Although he didn't think there was any blood bond between them, Ji Jinrong still couldn't bear to see the child's whole body tense from the very beginning.
Gu Xi stared blankly at Ji Jinrong in front of him.
She found that Ji Jinrong and Gu Jing were completely different.
Ji Jinrong sees through everything as clearly as Gu Jingzhen, but still has a soft heart. He wasn't even angry or disgusted with her, the "sister" who wanted to use him and replace Gu Yu with him.
From the very beginning, he controlled everything, deliberately causing her to cry in front of Gu's father, deliberately making her express all her grievances—
He told her that you were also at fault.
Gu Xi raised her hand to wipe her tears.
This time, the tears did not continue to fall.
Gu Xi's mood calmed down.
She said, "Then you want to come home with us?"
Ji Jinrong paused, drank the water in the glass, and gently put it back on the table. Seeing Gu Xi's nervous face, he laughed: "Of course I have to go back, but wait until tomorrow. You should stay in the hotel for one night first, and if you are interested, you can also walk around. I will find you tomorrow."
Gu Xi was puzzled: "Why tomorrow?"
Ji Jinrong said as a matter of course: "Tomorrow is the weekend, I have to go to class in the afternoon."
Gu Xi: "..."
Gu Xi stood up and pulled Father Gu out.
Father Gu hasn't spoken since Gu Xi cried.
As soon as Father Gu and Gu Xi left, Xu Jinhua and Tan Changming came back.
Along the way, Xu Jinhua and Tan Changming had already heard that some guests had come and asked about Gu's father and Gu Xi's appearance. Xu Jinhua had a bad premonition in his heart.
Tan Changming and her hurried back home together.
Ji Jinrong has already tidied up the house.
Hearing the news of their return, Ji Jinrong asked, "Is the old man alright?"
Tan Changming said: "It's okay, it's alright, and he said he will come out to see you and Yanyan next time."
Ji Jinrong said, "Okay."
Xu Jinhua hesitated, but still asked in front of Tan Changming: "A Jin, who came just now?"
Ji Jinrong said, "No one." He thought about it, and chose a more appropriate address, "Mr. Gu brought his daughter over to see me."
When Xu Jinhua heard the word "Gu", her heart that hadn't let go suddenly jumped up, and her tone was a little flustered: "What is he here for?"
Ji Jinrong observed Xu Jinhua carefully, and found that the panic in her eyes had nothing to do with love, but was purely worried that he would be snatched away by the Gu family.
Ji Jinrong felt relieved, and there was a bit of warmth in his heart.
He grabbed Xu Jinhua's hand, wrapped it in his palm, and comforted him gently: "I didn't do anything, just come and see me, and let me go back home to have a look."
Hearing what Ji Jinrong said, Xu Jinhua was not only not relieved, but even more worried. She couldn't say "You don't want to go to the Gu family", because what she could give to Ji Jinrong was nothing compared to a ten-thousandth of what the Gu family could give to Ji Jinrong. His son is so smart and powerful, if the Gu family really value him, will she stop him from returning home? No, she shouldn't have stopped him, she shouldn't have stood in his way—
Tan Changming reached out and hugged Xu Jinhua.
Originally, he shouldn't have interrupted, but seeing the sadness and reluctance in Xu Jinhua's eyes, he still couldn't help but ask, "A Jin, what are your plans?"
Ji Jinrong said, "The Gu family may be in trouble."
Xu Jinhua was taken aback.
Ji Jinrong said: "I'll have to find out what the trouble is. If their trouble is not too big, I can consider cooperating with them. If the trouble is too big, let it go. In short, how to do it first. Find out the situation. But one thing, mother, don’t worry, it’s not so easy for me to change my words and call someone.” He glanced at Tan Changming, “I’m going to the capital in the next two days, and the family will be handed over to you.”
Tan Changming nodded in agreement.
Ji Jinrong was creating opportunities for him. Although he and Xu Jinhua were married, there were so many years of gaps in between. This time, he could comfort and relieve Xu Jinhua well, and get closer to Xu Jinhua in a real sense.
Ji Jinrong packed up his things, put on his schoolbag and went to the "study meeting".
Seeing Ji Jinrong go out, Xu Jinhua was quiet for a long time before asking Tan Changming, "What did Ah Jin mean just now?"
Tan Changming said: "What Ah Jin means is that he won't recognize the Gu family—at least he will if he doesn't go to the Gu family." He paused, "He wants to go to the capital to see if there is any problem with the Gu family. It's not a big problem, he just cooperates with the Gu family on some things."
Xu Jinhua understood, but didn't quite understand.
Tan Changming explained patiently: "Whether we want to admit it or not, as long as Ah Jin has the Gu family's blood flowing in his body, in the eyes of others, he is related to the Gu family. No matter how Ah Jin avoids them, things will always find their way." Door-to-door—it's better to get in touch with Gu's family early, so as not to be caught off guard by all kinds of troubles when you get there."
Xu Jinhua said: "So Ah Jin should go back?"
Tan Changming nodded. He said: "I watched that child Ajin grow up, and he won't change just because he went to Gu's family. Don't worry about others, Ajin? He's very capable, It's impossible to be blinded by the Gu family and forget who is the one who really treats him well."
Only then did Xu Jinhua feel a little relieved.
She said: "If Ah Jin is going to the capital for two days, I have to help him pack up."
When Ji Jinrong came back from school, what he saw was Xu Jinhua's bulging backpack.
Ji Jinrong laughed: "Thank you, Mom." He opened his arms and hugged Xu Jinhua who was cooking, "Mom has worked hard."
Xu Jinhua knew that Ji Jinrong never liked to get close to people, so hugging her like this was actually to comfort her. Although he never said it, Ji Jinrong should also be curious about his biological father, right? She couldn't deprive her son of the opportunity to get along with his biological father just because she was worried that his son would be taken away. Now that she had figured it out, Xu Jinhua also had a smile on her face: "Stop hugging, go to dinner, you have to take the car tomorrow morning, and have a good rest at night."
Ji Jinrong happily ate his dinner and went back to his room.
He didn't have the habit of going to bed early, so he was still busy under the lamp until late at night.
When there was no movement outside and the whole school became silent, Ji Jinrong heard knocking on the window.
The old god Ji Jinrong was reading a book on the ground.
The knocking on the window died away.
The next moment, the bolt on the window was easily pulled open, and the night wind came in from the window, cooling the room.
A black shadow flashed and swept into the room from the window.
The black shadow closed the window firmly again.
Ji Jinrong snorted coldly: "You have a talent for being a thief."
It was Shao Junying who came.
Shao Junying walked towards Ji Jinrong, lifted Ji Jinrong up easily, and sat in the chair where Ji Jinrong was sitting just now. He trapped Ji Jinrong in his arms with his arms, and said, "You must have been very good for the past half month."
Ji Jinrong wanted to say "Thanks to you", but in the end he hummed, "It's as if I was not good before."
Shao Junying said: "Be good, you are the best."
Ji Jinrong gave an "um" and agreed, "Thank you, Uncle Shao, for your compliment."
Shao Junying: "..."
Shao Junying changed the subject: "Did you meet your biological father today?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Yes."
Shao Junying said, "Do you want to go back home?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Do you know what kind of trouble the Gu family is in?"
Shao Junying hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "To be honest, I don't like families like the Gu family very much, so I didn't go out of my way to learn more about them." He paused, "But I learned a lot of things 'passively', after all, the Gu family Your bloodline is called the 'King of the Awakened', and there are several sentinels and guides in your generation alone."
Ji Jinrong nodded.
Shao Junying said: "The death of the second child of the Gu family was not an accident, it was man-made. The third child of the Gu family has been very busy these past few years. Firstly, he had to clean up the Gu family that was about to rot to the root, and secondly, he wanted to track down the death of the second child of the Gu family—he I don’t even believe that the second child of the Gu family would die like this.” He looked at Ji Jinrong, “So he always wanted to find me, and wanted me to find out the truth—or trace the whereabouts of the second child of the Gu family. None were found."
Ji Jinrong said, "Then can you find out?"
Shao Junying said: "I can't." So he kept rejecting Gu Jingzhen's overtures, and he didn't show any affection for Gu Yu who Gu Jingzhen sent over. He told the truth to Ji Jinrong, "Although my authority in the military is not small, it is impossible to use the power of the military to track down the whereabouts of an ordinary person, unless the danger and importance of this matter rises to S-level .”
Ji Jinrong didn't know much about the situation of the Gu family, so he didn't express any further opinions. He said, "I'll go to Gu's house tomorrow to see what's going on."
Shao Junying said, "Okay."
Ji Jinrong said, "Do you need help?"
Shao Junying was taken aback. what did he say?"
Ji Jinrong spoke more clearly: "Do you need help from the Gu family?"
Shao Junying's expression became a little serious: "No need," he hugged Ji Jinrong even tighter, "Listen, I will support whatever decision you make, but it can't be for me—I don't want you to force yourself to do anything .”
Ji Jinrong was startled, and said slowly, "How do you know that I'm not enjoying it?" He let Shao Junying hug him tightly, "How do you know that I don't like power and position, how do you know that I don't like playing with people's hearts?"
Shao Junying said firmly, "You don't like it."
Ji Jinrong said: "But I am good at these."
Shao Junying said: "Being good at it doesn't mean liking it." He hugged Ji Jinrong in his arms, "For example, I am good at killing people, but I don't like killing people—I kill those people, and I hope that one day I can stop killing people."
Ji Jinrong straightened her body, sat on Shao Junying's lap and looked at him.
After a while, he said, "That's what I thought too—so you're going to be honest with me, do you really need it?"
Shao Junying looked at Ji Jinrong with firm eyes, and suddenly remembered that the boy in her arms had a mental body as powerful as his.
His little guide is not a flower to be protected in a greenhouse.
In the future, they can walk hand in hand.
Shao Junying was silent for a long time, then answered Ji Jinrong's words in a deep voice: "Need."
really need.
The special operations team is an army independent of all establishments, whether it is funding or resources, as long as they ask for it, they can get it. But there are some things that cannot be obtained, such as the strong scientific research strength of the Gu family, they need their technology, their talents, and their wholehearted and unreserved support. But he, the captain, was not from a noble family, nor did he have enough contacts. If he only relied on the orders from above to plunder all these things, he might not get anything—people's hearts are always the most difficult thing to grasp!
After listening to Shao Junying's words, Ji Jinrong nodded and said, "I see."
Shao Junying couldn't help wrapping her arms around his waist: "Don't force it."
Just as Ji Jinrong was about to speak again, the door was pushed open forcefully from the outside—
The author has something to say:
His Majesty:…
Shao Yingjun: ...
#Is it too late to change the posture now? #
