To be a businessman to reach Gu Hongjun's level is basically to straddle the political and business circles more or less, and to know many secrets that only the upper echelons know.
For example, the secret that there is still a species of monsters in the world.
And because of a coincidence, he and Yong Ze's grandfather, Yong Zhi, became neighbors. The two old men have very good tempers. After Gu Hongjun's semi-retirement, the two made appointments to play golf from time to time. learn.
It is said that he has finally come down from the mountain in the past few years, started to get in touch with the worldly people at the foot of the mountain, and prepared for taking over the Monster Association in the future.
Gu Hongjun met Yongze a few times and had a good impression.
The growth rate of monsters is not only slow in terms of age, because the life span is too long, and the intelligence of monsters will also be slower and naive than humans at the same stage.
However, Yongze is not only no worse than human beings, he is also extremely intelligent and has a calm attitude towards others. It is hard for an old man not to like such a child.
— But this liking stopped a second before Yongze appeared in Yoyo's room.
"Ozawa."
The old man at the door looked at the two expressionlessly.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Grandpa calling out Yongze's name, Yoyo said in surprise:
"Grandpa, do you know brother Yongze?"
Gu Hongjun closed the door gently, because Yongze had a special status, if other people in the family were alarmed, it would be difficult to explain why Yongze appeared here if he crossed so many servants downstairs.
"Yes, I also know his grandfather."
Gu Hongjun waved at Yoyo, and the kid sitting on the carpet trotted all the way, and was immediately picked up by his grandfather.
Yoyo, who was sitting in Gu Hongjun's arms, didn't notice the subtlety of the atmosphere at all, she clapped her hands happily:
"I know, I know! It must be because you are neighbors, right! The house over there is brother Yongze's grandfather's house, right?"
It's the grandpa's house of the little bastard who wanted to abduct my granddaughter.
"Hi, Grandpa." Yongze greeted Gu Hongjun very calmly, "I'm here to play with Yoyo."
Yong Ze's expression was too open, after all, as a monster living in groups in the forest, it was hard for him to think that there was anything wrong with coming to see Yo Yo just because he wanted to see her.
He even stared at Gu Hongjun with those eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of awkwardness and embarrassment, as if he was a little puzzled as to why he looked a little serious.
Gu Hongjun: "...you two come here."
After Gu Hongjun sat down on the small sofa, Yong Ze first explained to Gu Hongjun how the two met.
You Yo had nothing to do, so she ran to Yong Ze's side, held Yong Ze's index finger with her little hand, and stood beside him, listening quietly.
... This scene seems to have been seen on TV.
Youyou searched for the romantic dramas she had watched in her little head, and only vaguely remembered that the hero and heroine who eloped were caught by their parents, and they seemed to be interrogated like this.
Gu Hongjun nodded after listening to Yongze's explanation, but still said seriously:
"...Anyway, if you want to play together, you can do it day and night. How can you casually enter a girl's room at night? And Yoyo, girls should be aware of precautions, what if a bad guy is let in?"
Yoyo blinked: "Brother Yongze is not a bad person."
Yong Ze was also puzzled: "Grandpa Gu, why can you only play during the day? Is there any difference between night and day?"
Yoyo nodded, and both of them looked at Gu Hongjun with innocent eyes that didn't know anything, but asked him a grown-up, not knowing how to answer this question.
"this… "
Two pairs of curious eyes looked straight at him.
"because… "
The old man was defeated by such a naive gaze, waved his hand, unable to explain:
"Because it will delay the time to sleep, it is the same to play again after waking up during the day."
Yongze and Youyou suddenly realized and nodded.
"I see."
"Then, are you free tomorrow? Can you still come and play with me tomorrow?" Youyou grabbed Yong Ze's sleeve, her eyes sparkling, "I'll be at grandpa's house tomorrow! Grandpa said that tomorrow my grandma and uncle and uncle will be able to Come! Can you come too?"
Yong Ze squatted down and looked at her with a smile in his eyes:
"good."
Yoyo happily took Yongze's hand, and somehow became high. She swayed from side to side, just like a little penguin wobbling around.
Gu Hongjun watched as Yong Ze took the little girl's small hand behind his back, and followed her childishly in circles, a little hesitant to speak.
… never mind.
Children don't know anything, their minds are full of dirty thoughts, their adults are TAT
—
Early on Sunday morning, Yoyo, who was rinsing her mouth, saw the door of the bathroom being pushed open not long after she heard the noise coming from downstairs.
Well-maintained—it's hard to be regarded as a grandma—Grandma Gu hugged the frothy and befuddled Yoyo while shouting "my sweetie".
"Oh, grandma can finally come to hug my good boy in a fair and honest way! It's all that little bastard from Qizhou! As stubborn as a donkey, if it weren't for his grandma, he would have come to see you a long time ago..."
"... grandma, I ￥%#%..." I'm going to strangle to death!
The overly enthusiastic Grandma Gu just came back from a charity event abroad, because she missed Gu Miaomiao's violin competition some time ago.
"Miaomiao! Come and let grandma hug you! Oh, you kid, don't you eat? Why did you pick up a handful of bones... How did that little bastard in Qizhou raise a child!? Come to grandma's house during the holidays. You make a delicious tonic!"
Gu Miaomiao, who was strangled by grandma's embrace, said: ...Grandma, you don't have to be so enthusiastic.
Originally, although the relationship between Gu Hongjun and Gu Qizhou had broken the ice, after all, they hadn't lived together for many years, and there was still vague embarrassment when getting along.
But as soon as Grandma Gu came home, the atmosphere at home suddenly came alive.
"Come, come, blame Qizhou for being ignorant. It's the first time we've met. I prepared a little gift for you and the children..."
Before Yu Lan could refuse, Grandma Gu took out an aquamarine necklace and put it on for Yu Lan.
"Looks good, I knew this necklace would definitely match you."
Yu Lan immediately swallowed her resignation, and praised Grandma Gu's vision very sincerely.
The gifts for Yoyo, Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan were even simpler and cruder.
"This is a red envelope from grandma. Grandma doesn't know what you like, so just buy what you like. If you don't have enough money, ask grandma if it's okay?"
Yoyo replied obediently: "Okay—thank you grandma."
Holding the brick-thick red envelope in her hand, Gu Miaomiao felt that her values had been impacted again.
And Gu Hongjun was still talking to Grandma Gu:
"Why do you give out red envelopes again? Is it vulgar?"
Grandma Gu: "What's so tacky? Then why don't you give me something not tacky?"
Gu Hongjun: "I asked someone to take a violin for Miaomiao at the auction, and it will be shipped back in a few days. I heard that Yoyo wants to go skating. I am going to build an ice rink at home. Isn't this more practical than your red envelope? "
"That's true, yours is really more practical."
Shen Jichuan: ...the people in your family may have misunderstood practicality.
"By the way." Gu Hongjun looked at Shen Jichuan, who was not talking much, "I heard that you are a child of Professor Shen's family?"
Suddenly mentioning his father, Shen Jichuan froze for a moment.
"Yes."
Gu Hongjun remembered something, his eyes were a little lost:
"Back then, Qizhou ran away from home penniless. If your family hadn't taken him in for a summer vacation, that kid would have starved to death on the street."
"I'm glad you could come to our house."
The old man patted him on the shoulder, as if he had seen through the little thoughts in his heart.
The reconciliation and reunion between Gu Qizhou and his family is a happy event for everyone in the Gu family, and Shen Jichuan is naturally happy for them.
But looking at the reunion scene of the Gu family, Shen Jichuan always felt empty and isolated when he stood here.
He is like an audience, locked behind an invisible door.
It wasn't until Gu Hongjun opened his mouth that the door seemed to be gently pushed open a gap.
Shen Jichuan felt a sore throat and nodded:
"I know... Thank you Grandpa."
After lunch, Gu Qizhou's two elder brothers also brought their family to the Gu family's mansion.
When the two families entered the door, Yoyo was riding on Gu Hongjun's shoulders, explaining to him what the game of flying high was, and took him to play once.
As soon as Yoyo's uncle, Erbo, brought the child into the door, he happened to see the majestic and inviolable father at home, shouting "Fly Gao Gao", while trotting around the yard with the little girl on his shoulders.
Gu Hongjun: "..."
Uncle Erbo and the two little boys: "..."
The scene was once very embarrassing.
"...cough."
After returning to normal, Gu Hongjun put Yoyo down, put away his smile, and introduced you one by one in a serious manner:
"...Those two are your cousins, one is eleven years old and the other is twelve years old. Let them take you to play with your older brothers and sisters later."
Yo Yo looked at the two brothers curiously.
"Hello big brother, hello second brother."
It was only yesterday that Gu Yang and Gu Lin found out that the little TV star was actually his cousin.
The two looked curiously at the little cousin who ran out of the TV, and when the adults left, they got closer to take a closer look, and couldn't help stretching out their hands to pinch her face.
oops.
It was as soft as cotton candy.
Yoyo who was suddenly pinched in the face:? Why do these boys have the problem of pinching their faces?
Gu Yang and Gu Lin were only children since they were young, and their relatives did not have a sister as old as Yoyo. They heard from their classmates that sisters are creatures that are meant to be bullied.
For example, when you don't want to move at home, you can ask your sister to pour juice and get snacks, and if you get into trouble, you can ask your sister to take the pot, etc.
What's the point of having a sister if she can't be used as a bully
Gu Yang: "... Yoyo, can you do my brothers a favor?"
Yoyo: "What's busy?"
Gu Lin: "Just say you want to play games, how about borrowing two mobile phones?"
Yoyo: "Oh..."
The little boy at this age is the age who loves to play Glory of Kings, but the Gu family is strict in his family education, and children can't play with electronic products casually.
Yoyo didn't think it was a difficult thing to do, she agreed friendlyly, turned her head and hopped into the house to help borrow the phone.
Gu Yang and Gu Lin were very happy.
Gu Yang: "It's great to have a younger sister!"
Gu Lin: "Let's make an excuse to play with Yoyo later, so we can play games all day long!"
The two children were clattering their abacus, but they didn't expect that two figures appeared behind them without anyone noticing.
"...Oh? Who are you going to use as an excuse to ask someone to run errands?"
Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan were right behind them.
The former folded his arms and was watching them with very kind eyes.
