Chapter 645: Old Man, Stop Pretending
Gu Beisheng and Ji Qinglin left.
Only Grandma Qi, Grandpa Liang, and Grandpa Mu did not leave.
Grandma Qi sat down and smiled, "Okay, stop pretending."
Old Master Gu glanced at Grandma Qi, his face stern, and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Grandma Qi rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "If you really opposed Bei Sheng and Xiao Ji being together, you wouldn't have deliberately revealed the news to the three of us."
Grandpa Liang and Grandpa Mu looked at each other and sat down.
"Old man Gu, you just want us to support Xiao Ji so that you can have a reason to accept her." Grandpa Liang said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, old man Gu, you are such a fussy person. With your power, can't you welcome Xiao Ji into the family?" Grandpa Mu said speechlessly.
Old Master Gu knew he couldn't hide this from his three friends, so his expression softened instantly, his earlier seriousness vanishing. "It's mainly because of this kid, Gu Fanglin, who's been eyeing the position of the Gu family's leader."
"If I welcome Xiao Ji straight in, it will definitely give him an excuse to cause trouble."
"Now that you support Xiao Ji, he can't do anything to me, let alone attack Xiao Ji easily."
When Grandpa Liang and Grandpa Mu heard this, they looked at each other and felt that what Grandpa Gu said made a lot of sense.
"It has to be you!" Grandpa Liang sighed and said, "No wonder you were able to build such a solid foundation for the Gu family. We didn't expect this."
Grandma Qi poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip. "So what are your plans now? Your son is a ticking time bomb after all. No one knows what crazy things he will do."
Old Master Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Even though Gu Fanglin has done a lot of bad things, he's still my son. I couldn't bring myself to do anything to him."
But he couldn't just watch Gu Fanglin attack Gu Beisheng.
"Do you need help?" Grandma Qi lowered her eyes slightly and said this suddenly.
Mr. Gu was slightly startled and looked at Grandma Qi with some surprise. "Isn't this... bad?"
Grandma Qi sneered. "Xiao Ji is now my goddaughter. Since she has chosen Gu Beisheng, they are one. Gu Fanglin's existence is a threat to them."
"..."
"Sister Qi, do you really want to get involved in this?" Grandpa Mu said worriedly, "If you do, I'm afraid things will become very complicated."
"I understand that." Grandma Qi sighed and said with a complicated expression, "However, I won't take action directly. I will only take action when it is necessary."
"I still want to see how far Bei Sheng can go."
Grandpa Liang and Grandpa Mu looked at each other, and they both saw that Grandma Qi admired Gu Beisheng.
This appreciation far exceeds her appreciation for her three children.
However, those who knew Grandma Qi's family situation also knew that her three sons were quite mediocre.
Once Grandma Qi passes away, I'm afraid the Qi family will be completely ruined.
Old Master Gu pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Qi, thank you for defending Bei Sheng and Xiao Ji. However, as you said, I also want to see how far Bei Sheng can go."
"We are all old and can't protect these young people forever."
"Ah."
