Seeing that Su Tan has made up his mind to go back to his family and inherit the family business, take back his identity as the young master of the Gu family and live a life of gold and silver, Gu Hongrong can't help but have a headache.
Before coming, he hoped that Su Tan's temper would be as docile as Gu Han's, so that he could be brought back home smoothly.
but now-
Gu Hongrong frowned, and said in a serious voice: "Inherit the family business? Gu's family business, what will you do?"
With a crisp voice, Su Tan immediately raised his head and replied, "I can learn!"
Gu Hongrong wrinkled his forehead and heart, confused by his rascal, blurted out: "What do you study, your elder brother has been studying for so many years and still follows me!"
Hearing this, Su Tan covered his surprised mouth, looked at Gu Qin who was standing behind Gu Hongrong, and joked with his eyes: Big brother, so you are such a big brother...
Gu Qin: "..."
He couldn't help shaking his head, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, which was fleeting.
However, even if Gu Hongrong dismissed the idea in one breath, Su Tan was still full of confidence and said solemnly, "Father, I can do it! You have to believe in my talent! Give me a little trust, I'll give you back a slice of heaven!"
In an instant, Gu Hongrong had a headache.
However, Su Tan was very calm, smiling and shouting to him, "Father, you can't revoke my inheritance right, I'm also the young master of the Gu family."
At the moment, Gu Hongrong was so blocked that his heart ached. If Hayden Langman hadn't insisted on securing this cheap son, he really wanted to ignore it and let him talk nonsense.
Gu Hongrong took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the irritability and impatience in his heart, took a deep look at Su Tan, and only said one sentence in a deep voice. "Listen to your Highness carefully. When you marry into the Langman family, the Gu family will not let you suffer."
After finishing speaking, he suppressed his anger, and left with his hands behind his back, without looking at Su Tan again.
Only the eldest brother, Gu Qin, glanced back at him before leaving, only to see the younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, making V comparisons to him with a gurgling smile.
Immediately, Gu Qin pursed his lips and left with a smile.
After Su Tan watched them leave, the tension in his heart finally relaxed. He lowered his head and took out from his pocket something that Brother Gu had stuffed into him earlier. Under the bright light, it was a recording pen.
At the moment, he was a little surprised.
Su Tan pressed the play button, only to hear Gu Qin's deep and magnetic voice gurgling from the recording pen.
His words were concise and direct, and he introduced the situation of the Gu family in the most concise way. While listening, Su Tan couldn't help being stunned.
"Sorry, Ah Tan, it took me so many years to find you."
"The Gu family is prosperous on the outside and decayed on the inside. It has long been a wolf den that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. ... Father was blinded by power a few years ago, and the rest of the people are not good. If you can, don't come back. "
"I will transfer the property of the Gu family to your name, and I hope you will have no worries, peace and joy in this life."
Gu Qin's tone was calm and soothing, making Su Tan's heart warm little by little, as if being ironed by a small warm stove.
"Brother." Holding the recording pen, Su Tan breathed a sigh of relief, with a wry smile on his face.
But his heart was unprecedentedly clear and firm.
Gu family—
Since they are all blinded by power, he just wants to let them fight and make a mess.
The next day, Gu Hongrong was in the study, discussing with several bigwigs of the Gu family how to deal with the media and announce the marriage between the crown prince and Su Tan.
Unexpectedly, before the discussion was over, the butler rushed in with a bad expression, hesitating in tone, frowning and reporting: "The young master... is here."
Gu Hongrong's words were suddenly interrupted, he looked at him questioningly, and asked calmly, "Gu Han? What's the matter with him?"
However, the housekeeper's face was a little embarrassed, and there was a slight sweat on his usually calm forehead. "It's Young Master Su Tan."
Suddenly, everyone present was shocked.
"Su Tan?!" Gu Hongrong's face darkened suddenly, and his expression became tense. The rest of the people present were also in doubt, not knowing why Su Tan came.
Gu Hongjun, who was in charge of Gu's Pictures, glanced at Gu Hongrong who was sitting high behind the desk, thought quietly in his heart, and said, "Hongrong, did you invite him?"
Gu Hongrong shook his head slowly.
Hearing this, Gu Hongjun was even more astonished. "Then none of us invited him, he came here by himself?"
As for Su Tan, the whole Gu family had only heard about him on the Internet, and only Gu Fu and Gu Qin had actually seen him in person. So, if it wasn't for Father Gu's invitation, Su Tan's visit today would have been uninvited.
Such an unexpected behavior was almost disrespectful to a wealthy family like the Gu family. Even if Su Tan is the young master of the Gu family who has been missing for many years, but if he hastily approached the Gu family without the official guidance and introduction from the head of the family, it is inevitable that his reputation will be unfair and it will make people look down upon him a bit.
What's more, Su Tan's identity as the young master of the Gu family has not been officially announced to the public.
Immediately, Gu Hongrong's face became tense, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, his face was expressionless, but it was definitely not happy.
He directly asked the housekeeper, "What is he here for?"
Hearing this question, the butler lowered his eyes, solemn and respectful. If you don't pay attention to the sweat dripping on his forehead, it really makes people think that there is nothing unusual.
The butler tried his best to suppress all the turbulent emotions in his heart, and tried to answer calmly: "The young master said...he came to visit."
At that moment, everyone fell silent suddenly, and there was an embarrassing silence in the study.
This made the steward's heart convulse even more, and he hardly dared to make a sound. He lowered his head respectfully and humbly to look at the ground, for fear that Gu Hongrong's anger would spread to him.
"Go shopping?" Gu Hongrong's voice was dark and austere, but he suddenly sneered.
Suddenly, he straightened up from behind the desk, and issued an order in a low voice: "Just say that I am not at home, and it is inconvenient to receive you today."
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the housekeeper's face turned pale, and he replied with difficulty: "But, he has already come in."
The housekeeper was suffocating, he didn't dare to look up to see the Patriarch's face, he lowered his head tightly and stared at his feet. "The young master came with the royal guards, and we dare not stop him. He said, let us not bother with them, he just came to see... how big the family business he will inherit in the future."
In a word, there was a sudden silence in the study, and the expressions of the people present suddenly became subtle.
Although the interests of the family are the most important, Gu Hongjun and the others present are all of the same generation as Gu's father or elders, and they have a decisive voice in the huge family business of the Gu family.
Bad luck, they were not able to take the position of Patriarch in the past, but among those present, who didn't have some secret thoughts about the profound heritage of the Gu family and the wealth accumulated over the years.
Now, Gu Hongrong's youngest son has the guts to say that he wants to inherit the Gu family property. Is it because ignorant people are fearless, or is it that Gu Hongrong is planning something out of it
The atmosphere of the previous friendly conversation in the study disappeared quietly. Several uncles and elders were sitting in their seats, silent or drinking tea in silence. However, the quiet and indifferent atmosphere clearly showed the thoughts and fears in the hearts of several people.
Gu Hongjun, the helm of Gu's Films, suddenly gave an ambiguous laugh, and teased lightly, "Hong Rong, your youngest son is quite straightforward."
For a moment, Gu Hongrong had a terrible headache.
He waved his hand, got up and walked out, complaining sullenly and helplessly: "It's so stubborn, you can't be a master, sit down for a while, I'll go and have a look."
In a blink of an eye, he hurried out the door.
As soon as he walked to the porch, Gu Hongrong saw Su Tan vigorously leading a large group of people from a distance, standing on the edge of the garden and looking at the scenery from afar, with a smile on his face, he praised twice with a good temper, and asked the Gu family who was waiting on the side servant.
"The half of the hill over there also belongs to the Gu family?"
The servants kept silent, but dared not answer a line of solemn royal guards all around them, Zhan Zhanwei cautiously answered a word. "right."
Immediately, Su Tan's smile became more satisfied.
"Very good." He nodded, and said to Olesen beside him with a smile, "It can be used for farming in the future, it's too wasteful to leave it unused."
Oleson, the steward of the Royal Guard, responded respectfully, took out a small notebook and memorized it carefully, and listed it on the important agenda.
The solemn attitude was serious, and the servants of the Gu family who followed beside him were stunned for a moment, and their hearts tensed up nervously.
Seeing that, Su Tan turned around again, and suddenly saw the Gu family's old house, which had gone through many years of ups and downs, and was majestic and low-key, his eyes lit up instantly.
He quickened his pace a few steps, stepped forward to look at it carefully for a while, and said with a sudden smile: "Hey, this house is good! It's big, spacious, and has many rooms. It will definitely be no problem to change to a hotel in the future!"
He turned around with a gurgling smile and looked at the small hills not far away, and said with a cheerful expression: "Isn't some kind of farmhouse popular now? We will open a hotel in the front, and engage in ecological farm tours in the back. The business must be booming."
He spoke with full confidence, and Olesen didn't refute at all, but praised sincerely: "Your idea is really good, I didn't think of it."
Hearing this, Su Tan raised his chin, and the smile on his face was joyful and somewhat complacent, like a kitten triumphantly winning a battle, only to wag its tail behind it.
He coughed lightly, tried to restrain himself a little, and smiled tacitly at Olesen and said, "You are too famous, and I am just sharing my father's worries."
Speaking of this, Su Tan sighed and said with great distress: "Father is getting old. As the youngest son he has cared for for many years, I naturally can't bear to see my father working hard for trivial matters. After thinking about it, I have to work hard. One point, to share the father's burden on his behalf, and take over the inheritance of the family business."
He sighed with emotion, and said sonorously: "As a son, he deserves to be such a caring little padded jacket."
As he said it, Olesen praised a few words in admiration at the right time, shaping Su Tan into a good son who really loved his father, couldn't bear the hardships of his old father and fought in the front line of the family business, and praised him It was held up to the sky.
However, when these words fell into the ears of Gu Hongrong who was far away, it was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart hard.
The butler of the Gu family quickly took a look at the owner's jet-black hair and straight body, without showing any signs of age. He felt a tremor in his heart, and lowered his head silently, not daring to interfere with it.
Seeing that, Gu Hongrong's face darkened fiercely, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already calm. Lang came forward to greet Olesen, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, please sit inside." .”
Olesen had no intention of greeting, and said solemnly and rigorously: "You don't have to be polite, today's protagonist is Young Master Su."
Su Tan raised his hand, and said to Gu Hongrong with a smile, "Father, I'll go in! I haven't seen the baby bumps, expensive calligraphy and paintings in the house yet!"
His face was beaming, and without waiting for Gu Hongrong to lead the way, he strode into the gate of the Gu family with high spirits.
Seeing his bouncing and cheering back view, Gu Hongrong almost turned his eyes red and died in his heart.
However, Su Tan was a person who couldn't wink, so he went around the Gu family's old house with great satisfaction, and finally entered the forbidden place that the Gu family always solemnly refused outsiders to enter - Gu Hongrong's study.
The study room was full of strange men of a certain age, they didn't say anything when they saw him coming in, they just looked up at him with expressionless faces and without saying a word.
"Hey, how about a tea party?" Su Tan glanced at it with a smile, and waved his hands in a good-tempered manner, "Go on, I'll take a look at other properties at home, so I won't bother you."
As he said that, he kindly closed the door for them, leaving only a room full of dazed and astonished eyes.
Seeing that the door of the study room was closed tightly, the other party really had no intention of coming in again, a senior and respected Gu family member who was sitting by the desk suddenly spoke out, and read aloud in a dark and mocking tone. "... What is this called?"
Gu Hongjun from Gu's Films also murmured, and said with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of being a fake, I'm afraid of being such a fool, relying on a trace of blood, the hearts of the people are not enough to swallow an elephant. The ups and downs of the Gu family can't stand such a trial. Grind."
"That's not it!" As soon as the chatterbox was opened, the complaints and complaints in the study were suddenly unsealed, and someone commented in a low voice, "Besides, he is going to marry into the Langman family. Don't let the marriage fail in the end. It was swallowed by the Langman family."
In a word, everyone in the study fell into deep thought.
After a long silence, the elder who spoke first decided calmly but resolutely: "Why don't we share the inheritance rights first."
When he said a word, everyone was shocked immediately.
Gu Chongyan, the oldest and most senior member of the Gu family, directly analyzed: "Hongrong's two young sons, one is greedy for money, and the other is confusing the real with fakes. If we are not sure about the right of succession, our Gu family may be the first to be torn apart by these two."
Hearing this, everyone in the Gu family nodded silently in agreement.
Gu Chongyan continued in a calm manner, neither humble nor overbearing. "After all these years, I have seen that only Gu Qin has good qualifications and is worthy of a great job. It is better to simply assign the inheritance right to Gu Qin early, and save some people from worrying and plotting."
The study room was silent for a while, and needles could be heard in the silence.
Gu Hongjun gave a dry cough, and tried ambiguously. "Is this too urgent? Hongrong is in his middle age and in the prime of life, why should he decide on an heir so early?"
Everyone has their own thoughts. Among the other branches they lead, there are many young heirs, but their performance these years is indeed not as bright and outstanding as that of Gu Qin, and there are very few achievements that can make everyone in the Gu family admire.
Therefore, there is really no better candidate than Gu Qin in front of him.
However, even if the reality is like this, Gu's and the others are still dissatisfied. They concluded in their hearts that given time for their descendants to grow up, they might not be able to surpass Gu Qin in time.
But now that the Gu family is about to determine an heir early, they have completely cut off the chances of other heirs.
Everyone complained and resented, and some people couldn't help asking questions immediately. "How can you rush to decide on such a major matter that concerns the future of the entire Gu family?"
Gu Chongyan lightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Oh, no hurry? Then you just wait for the young master outside the door to lead the royal guards to search the entire old house."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became extremely embarrassed.
Downstairs at this time, Su Tan was wandering around a treasure room on the second floor. In the elegant and clean room, several rows of multi-treasure boxes were neatly arranged. decorations.
The golden beast statue, the hollowed-out vase inlaid with precious stones, and a whole piece of jade carving with emerald green water head are obviously the owner's favorite collection, and they are usually placed here for appreciation.
Somehow, Su Tan discovered this place, and led the royal guards to break through the gate.
At this time, under Gu Hongrong's shocked and frightened eyes, he saw the youngest son of the Gu family who had not shown his face for eighteen years and would disturb the Gu family whenever he appeared. Everything on it was put away.
"This ruby vase is festive, Oleson, take it! Let's go back and take a look."
"This big jade carving is cool and refreshing. It's a comfortable pillow in summer. Take it away."
"besides… "
Before he could speak, he suddenly heard Gu Hongrong's furious shout. "Su Tan!!"
Su Tan turned his head with a smile, put something in his hand firmly into Gu Hongrong's arms, smiled warmly and comforted him: "Father, don't worry, this is your beloved, I won't take it. "
What was placed heavily in Gu Hongrong's arms was the most worthless flower.
In an instant, Gu Hongrong's face was as black as water, and he stared at him closely, but Su Tan was not afraid at all, but instead caringly said: "Father, I have been wandering for many years, and I finally returned to Gu's house. You can rest after working so hard for so many years."
His tone was very considerate and caring, as if he cared and cared for his father's young son with a fistful heart. He said to Oleson, the steward of the Royal Guard next to him: "Is there an interstellar tour group departing tomorrow? Sign up for my old father , I will pay for it!"
Gu Hongrong: "..."
His eyes were red with anger, and it was inconvenient for him to attack in front of Oleson, but his face was so dark and embarrassing that he couldn't suppress his emotions. He took a few deep breaths, and bowed to Oleson, "Sorry, I'm sorry. Have a few words with Su Tan."
Hearing this, Olesen stopped considerately, watching Gu Hongrong take Su Tan away to the study.
Before leaving, I heard Su Tan still not forgetting to raise his voice, and the voice immediately penetrated the corridor, shouting enthusiastically: "Oleson, don't forget the ones on the shelf on the left, wrap them all up, and take them away together later." !"
The study door was slammed shut with a bang, and there was a loud noise.
Everyone in the room looked in surprise at the two who came in hastily.
Gu Hongrong's face sank like water, and he couldn't hide all his emotions anymore. Deep anger appeared between his brows and eyes, and he looked straight at Su Tan questioningly. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
Without hesitation, Su Tan said simply and neatly, "Inherit the family business!"
Gu Hongrong, who was tired of hearing these words, felt irritability and disdain on his brows. "dream."
Hearing this, Su Tan suddenly laughed.
"Father," he looked at Gu Hongrong who was far away behind the desk, and suddenly his calm eyes glanced over everyone present, "Also, uncles."
"I'm the one who wants to marry into the Langman family."
"I am the one who endures hardships, worries, and accompanies you like a tiger."
"In the future, I will still be the one who ascends the throne with His Highness and become the head of the empire."
He raised his eyebrows, with a clean smile on his face, and asked calmly: "Instead of me joining forces with His Highness in the future and taking back the family property, why don't you hand it over to me now."
He curled the corners of his lips, and promised very seriously and purely: "Don't worry, I will take care of you until the end of your life, and enjoy your old age in peace."
The sudden words stunned all the members of the Gu family, and they looked up at him in astonishment.
Gu Hongrong suddenly asked: "Your Highness join hands with you?"
Su Tan smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think he sent the royal guard to come with me?"
