Chapter 187 This is your Gu family's business, what does it have to do with me?
Fu's old house.
Xu Jiaojiao had just left Fu Xiaochen's villa and was anxiously looking for Mrs. Fu.
She couldn't wait to share the good news that Fu Xiaochen had agreed to get engaged to her.
"Auntie, Brother Chen said he wants to get engaged to me next month."
Her face was beaming with happiness, as if she could already see a bright future for herself and Fu Xiaochen.
"Oh, right, I also overheard Brother Chen telling Dr. Zhao that the recent troubles at the company were caused by the Gu family, and they even wanted to fight to the death!"
Xu Jiaojiao continued, her tone tinged with pride, as if she had rendered a great service to the Fu family.
"what?"
Mrs. Fu stood up in disbelief, her face full of shock.
Having not heard of the Gu family for so many years, the sudden appearance of their name still made her grit her teeth in hatred.
The feud between their two families had long since ended after her husband and Gu Xiaoxiao died.
She didn't understand what the Gu family meant by doing this.
Grandpa Gu had no heir; his only bloodline, Gu Xiaoxiao, had already given birth to a stillborn child and passed away long ago.
Did Old Master Gu think he was all alone and decide to take everyone down with him before he died?
Xu Jiaojiao thought that Mrs. Fu was excited about the good news that they were about to get engaged.
"Auntie, please don't get excited. Brother Chen said that next month is an auspicious day for the engagement..."
Xu Jiaojiao spoke excitedly, completely unaware of Mrs. Fu's unusual behavior.
Mrs. Fu grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's hand and hurriedly interrupted her.
"Jiaojiao, are you sure you didn't hear wrong? Fu Xiaochen really said that the Gu family was behind it?"
Mrs. Fu's eyes were filled with worry and doubt; she needed to confirm the accuracy of the news again.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded, "That's right, I heard it with my own ears, what's wrong, Auntie?"
Seeing Mrs. Fu's worried expression, Xu Jiaojiao comforted her.
"It's alright, Auntie. The Gu family is nothing compared to the Fu family. Brother Chen isn't afraid of them at all!"
In Xu Jiaojiao's mind, there was nothing that Fu Xiaochen couldn't solve.
Mrs. Fu smiled awkwardly, her smile carrying a hint of complex emotions.
If it were the original Gu family, the Fu family certainly wouldn't be afraid.
However, later, in order to compensate the illegitimate daughter, her husband gave the Gu family many benefits, which greatly increased the Gu family's power.
Over the years, she had never told Fu Xiaochen about the feud between the two families. Now, it seems that only she and Old Master Gu know about it.
It remains to be seen what the Gu family will do next.
No, she had to ask Grandpa Gu what he meant by doing this!
……
On the other side, Grandpa Gu finally caught up with Xiao Shi in the company office.
He had also heard about the things his son had done recently.
He never expected that Xiao Shi would give him such a big "surprise" after he had just handed over the entire Gu family to her.
Old Master Gu's face was gloomy, and he spoke in a stern tone.
"Gu Xiaoshi, I told you to target the Fu family, not to take the entire Gu family down with you."
His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger, and he was extremely dissatisfied with what Xiao Shi had done.
Xiao Shi smiled nonchalantly; now, in front of Grandpa Gu, he didn't even bother to pretend anymore.
If it weren't for his mother's safety, he wouldn't have acknowledged this grandfather, nor would he have cared about becoming the heir of the Gu family.
He suspected that his father's death was related to his grandfather, otherwise why would he be found by the Gu family so soon after his father's death? It was too much of a coincidence.
He tacitly agreed that his grandfather had placed his mother in the Fu family as a nanny, which was also to protect his mother, since his grandfather's influence could not reach the Fu family.
“Grandpa, I’m in charge of the Gu family now. I think it’s a good idea to die together with them! It will make the Fu family suffer heavy losses and also avenge my mother. It’s a win-win situation.”
Xiao Shi spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she were talking about something trivial.
However, Old Master Gu mistakenly thought that when Xiao Shi said "venting his anger," he meant venting his anger on behalf of his birth mother, and he immediately became furious.
"This is the culmination of my Gu family's life's work. Do you really want to destroy it like this? Stop now, and we'll think of another way. There's no need to rush to bring down the Fu family."
Grandpa Gu's words were filled with anxiety and heartache; he could not accept his child's reckless behavior.
Even now, he still thinks that when he was young, he was so eager to drag Fu Xiaochen into the mess because they were both children of the Fu family, but their fates were worlds apart.
This stark contrast filled Xiao Shi with resentment and discontent, which is why he was determined to take revenge on Fu Xiaochen at all costs.
Xiao Shi remained unmoved, saying, "You said it yourself, this is about your family, what does it have to do with me?"
His eyes revealed a hint of detachment, as if he had nothing to do with the Gu family.
Grandpa Gu took two steps back in disbelief, his anger barely contained.
"You wicked child, aren't you a descendant of the Gu family? I am your own grandfather."
If he weren't the only one with this bloodline, he would have strangled Xiao Shi to death.
Xiao Shi looked coldly at Grandpa Gu, "I originally treated you like a grandfather, but you tried to hurt my mother. Can't I return the favor?"
Old Master Gu's eyes flickered, trying to hide his guilty conscience.
I don't understand what you're saying?
Xiao Shi said calmly, "I know about the kidnapping last time. I won't let anyone who hurts my mother and sister get away with it."
Only then did Grandpa Gu understand what he meant by standing up for his mother when he was little.
“She is just your adoptive mother. Gu Xiaoxiao is your biological mother. The blood of the Gu family flows in your veins. I am your only family.”
Xiao Shi didn't care about her background at all, saying, "That's no reason for you to hurt my mother."
All he knew was that his adoptive mother's position was irreplaceable, and that Old Master Gu's behavior had crossed his bottom line.
The conversation between the two ended unhappily, and Old Master Gu was so angry with Xiao Shi that he ended up in the hospital.
At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Fu is downstairs and wants to see you."
Xiao Shi felt that there was no point in him seeing Mrs. Fu, so she decisively replied, "No."
Mrs. Fu was somewhat disappointed that she did not see Mr. Gu.
She learned from employees of the Gu family company that Old Master Gu had handed over the reins of the company to his grandson, who is now the young CEO Gu.
This news made Mrs. Fu fall into deep thought, and she began to wonder who this young Mr. Gu really was.
"Could it be the child that Old Master Gu adopted?"
Mrs. Fu pondered to herself, her heart filled with doubt.
Since Old Master Gu already has an heir, why does he want to fight the Fu family to the death?
There must be some reason for this. Perhaps we can find out the reason by meeting Mr. Gu.
Mrs. Fu waited at the company all day but did not see Mr. Gu. She tried to force her way in, but was stopped by security guards.
Even when Mr. Gu got off work, they didn't get to meet him; he had already left from the garage by elevator.
