he’s not completely crazy yet

“Aunt, don’t be so excited. I’m just joking.” He said in a frivolous tone.

Gu Qingqing coughed for a while before she recovered.

“xiao xun ‘er,”

Gu Yu’s expression froze.

However, it only lasted for a moment.

aunt, I’m already so old, and you’re still calling me that. If others hear it, I’ll lose my dignity as the head of the Gu family.

“you also know that you’re the head of the gu family! do you know how much the gu family has paid for your stupidity this time? In order to save your life, the Gu family will need at least ten years to recover!”

Gu Yu didn’t have much of a reaction, as if he didn’t care at all.

xiao xiao said, ” look at what you’re saying. those who don’t know would think that you care a lot about the gu family. didn’t you change your last name and draw a clear line with the gu family? you don’t care about the gu family anymore, do you? ”

“It’s true that I won’t interfere with the Gu family’s Affairs anymore, but Xiao Xun ‘er, I have to take care of you.”

gu mo quickly glanced at her and looked away.

“look at what you’ve done! I’ve told you before, that’s not how you like someone. Everyone is a free individual. If you really like her, you should let her wishes come first. Don’t try to take her by force, or you’ll only force her further and further away from you.”

“aunt’s words are not unreasonable, but they don’t apply to her and me. It will only force her to stay further and further away from me? Now that she has someone else by her side, she’s already very far away from me. ”

Gu Qingqing was unable to refute.

putting aside what kind of person shi yan was, fifth lord jiang was definitely not someone who would allow anyone who coveted shi yan to stay by her side. it would have been fine if gu yu only wanted to be friends with shi yan, but gu yu’s feelings for shi yan were not limited to this.

“see, aunt, you think so too.”

“Why does she have to be the young lady of the Shi family and the person beside her has to be the fifth master of the Jiang family? If she was just a little girl from the countryside without any background, and only happened to save the heavily injured me while picking herbs in the mountains, or if the person by her side was not the fifth master of the Jiang family, it would be much easier for me to keep her by my side than it is now.”

“These are all facts. It’s meaningless for you to think like this.”

gu yu was silent.

“yes, it’s meaningless for me to think this way.”

he swung the iron chain in his hand, which made a crisp clanging sound. he retracted his legs and sat cross-legged against the wall.

He seemed to sigh. what a pity. She was so close to getting on the helicopter and leaving with me. I’ve underestimated that fifth master Jiang.

“no, even if the fifth lord wasn’t present, you might not be able to get yanyan to board the plane with you. you still don’t know her well enough. the shi family doesn’t give her confidence, and neither does the fifth lord. no one knows where the limits of her abilities lie. up until now, i’ve never heard of anyone who can force her to that extent.”

“even if she had boarded the plane with you, you wouldn’t have been able to keep her in the gu family.”

“It’s not that you don’t know about this, but you still did it and even let yourself lose so badly. Xiao Xun ‘er, I don’t quite understand your thoughts.”

gu yu smiled at gu qingqing. ” i guess he’s just too anxious. ”

“when i first arrived in haicheng, i thought i had a chance. later, i found out that with jiang che around and his close watch, i couldn’t find a chance at all. and every time i see the two of them being so sweet, the jealousy in my heart rises, and some thoughts can’t be stopped.”

gu yu moved his hand again, and the chain made a crisp sound. he even raised his hand to look at the chain locked on his hand, and then said with a sigh, ” “if i had known that i would lose so badly, i would have shot her. at least she would remember me for a longer time.”

sigh, I didn’t pick the right time. The people here aren’t weak. I can’t guarantee that I can hit them in one shot.

gu qingqing looked at him and sighed, ” “xiao xun ‘er, do you think i don’t know what the situation was like back then?”

I heard that there were a lot of people at the scene, but not all of them were good at fighting. If you had opened fire, there was a high chance that you would have hit someone in the chaos, but you didn’t do that.

gu yu raised an eyebrow. ” since you know what happened, you must know that my men were all switched out. with so many guns pointed at me, i wouldn’t be able to get away even if i hit someone. i might even die on the spot. ”

“are you telling me that you’re afraid of death?”

“xiao xun ‘er, are you someone who’s afraid of death?”

gu yu suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed for a long time before he stopped.

“Alright, I admit that I never intended to shoot from the start. aunty, seriously speaking, this is all thanks to you. Do you still remember? when i first arrived in sea city, you came to find me and said something to me. ”

“it’s probably because you’ve taken care of me since i was young. i might not listen to others, but it’s really hard for me not to listen to you.”

gu qingqing had always been in haicheng. she was more sensitive to news about the gu family, especially since she still paid close attention to her nephew, gu yi, even though she had left the gu family.

That was why she found out about it not long after Gu Yu arrived in Haicheng.

He specially went to see Gu Yu.

she knew that gu yu had been looking for someone all these years. However, she did not know that the person he was looking for was Shi Yan. It was not until Gu Yu came to Haicheng University as a freshman and kept in contact with Shi Yan that she realized.

she went to gu yu for confirmation, and gu yu did not deny it.

She still remembered that the day she first went to find Gu Yao was their school opening ceremony. She only found out later that Gu Yao had given up on the freshman representative’s speech to see her.

because of this, she became even more soft-hearted towards gu yi.

Gu Yi still listened to her, but he was really crazy. She was not sure what Gu mo would do when he went crazy. She was afraid that he would hurt Shi Yan by accident, so she gave Shi Yan a hint.

forgive her for hinting and not making it clear. she only had one nephew and she had her own selfish motives.

To Shi Yan and Jiang che, Gu Yu had come with ill intentions. She wasn’t sure if Shi Yan and Jiang che would keep him in Haicheng after knowing his true intentions.

She had struggled for a long time before she made the decision to give Shi Yan a hint.

Gu Yu looked up at Gu Qingqing and said with a smile, ” “aunt, i know why you’re here. you don’t have to persuade me. i’m already in this state, how can i not be clear-headed?”

Gu Qingqing looked at him suspiciously.

obviously, she didn’t believe him.

“I know that little aunt doesn’t believe me. Actually, there’s nothing to not believe. Even if I’m not clear-headed, I can’t do anything with my current strength.”

This was true.

the gu family had really suffered heavy losses this time, and the person gu mo was after was not an ordinary person. it was shi yan, who was not simple to begin with and had the shi family and the fifth master jiang behind her.

but before gu qingqing could heave a sigh of relief, gu yu smiled and said, ” ” however, after i rest for a few years to recover my strength, i might make a comeback. ”

“You …”

“aunt, don’t be nervous. i’m just joking.”

Gu Qingqing’s temper was almost gone after all these years, but she was still angered by him.

She glared at him fiercely and could not help but cover her mouth and cough again.

“you should know about my relationship with the shi family’s third young master. perhaps it won’t be long before i become the third young madam of the shi family. you know my temper. if you have really done something detrimental to the shi family, i would be willing to sacrifice my life to apologize to you. if you still care about your aunt, then you should restrain yourself.”

Gu Yu smiled at her, but his gaze was a little intimidating.

Gu Qingqing stood up as if she didn’t see his intimidating gaze. “I’ll take my leave first. Don’t worry. Your seventh uncle and the fifth Lord have already discussed the conditions. If you stay here for a month, the fifth Lord will let you go.”

you didn’t have a good New Year. When you go back and recover, I’ll make you a meal to eat with you. It’ll be your New Year’s Eve dinner.

“Aunt.” gu mo called out to her.

Gu Qing Qing stopped in her tracks.

“Why didn’t you come here two days earlier?” Gu Yu smiled at her.

“If you had come two days earlier, we could have had a New Year’s Eve dinner together. I don’t think that fifth Lord Jiang’s subordinates will stop you from bringing a bowl of food.”

Without avoiding his gaze, Gu Qingqing looked at him and said seriously, ” “xiao xun ‘er, you’re twenty, not two. when you made a mistake when you were two years old, you could easily get away with it and not be punished. but when you made a mistake when you were twenty years old, you can’t just get away with it without any punishment.”

“not coming over two days earlier is my aunt’s punishment for you. “The next time you mess around like this, you don’t have to call me aunt anymore. I’ve cut off all ties with the Gu family long ago. My body doesn’t have many years to live, so it’s good to cut it off completely. At least I don’t have to worry about this anymore.”

after saying that, gu qingqing turned and left the basement.

she could vaguely hear gu yu’s low laughter behind her.

He seemed to have said something else, but Gu Qingqing did not hear him clearly.

She actually did not have a good time this New Year either. Since she decided not to visit Gu Yu on New Year’s Eve, she had been sick over and over again, and only got better today.

however, it was good that he was sick. if he came to see him with a sick body, it would look like he didn’t have long to live, and the effect would be better.

this crazy child, if i don’t force him, i really don’t know what other ridiculous things he will do.

the next afternoon, shi yan went to see jiang zhi as promised.
