“You bastard!” Old Master Gu picked up his crutch and smashed it on Gu Sheng’s back.
Gu Sheng howled and curled up to the corner to hide, but Gu Hai didn’t show mercy, still hitting him with the crutch.
Yan Xi stood at the side, feeling very happy. She curled her lips and her eyes were cold. When she felt that it was about time, she went forward to stop Old Master Gu.
“Grandfather, it’s enough,” she cried. “Don’t be angry and risk your health.”
Old Master Gu was in a fit of anger, so he couldn’t care less about Yan Xi. He shook her off and kicked Gu Sheng hard.
Yan Xi was caught off guard and fell to the ground, gasping in pain.
Only then did Old Master Gu stop. He supported and asked with concern, “Are you hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?”
Yan Xi shook her head and stood up. “I’m fine. Grandpa, calm down.” She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked at Old Master Gu. “Grandpa, go and see Gu Shen. He was still talking about you when he was unconscious.”
Old Master Gu did not say anything. After a long while, he sighed. “Let’s go.”
He took the lead, walking out. His usually straight body stooped, and he looked much older.
Gu Sheng was lying on the ground. He looked up and met Yan Xi’s gaze.
Yan Xi was looking down at him with a cold gaze, like bone-chilling water in the middle of winter.
“Uncle.” Yan Xi raised her leg and landed on the back of his hand. “You have to take care of yourself.”
…
Late at night, Gu Shen received news that Old Master Gu was coming to visit him.
Soon, two voices came from outside the door.
“Grandpa, watch your steps. Gu Shen must be very happy to know that you’re here to visit him.”
Gu Shen smiled. The moment the door was opened, he pretended to sit up on the bed, but Old Master Gu stopped him.
“Lie down.” Old Master Gu gestured for him to lie down. “Have you seen the doctor? What did he say?”
“Nothing serious. I’ll be fine after some rest.”
“Grandpa.” Yan Xi obediently fetched a chair. “Please sit. I’ll get you a glass of water.” Then, she walked out.
After the door closed, Old Master Gu looked back and said, “Yan Xi has already told me about your injury. What do you plan to do?”
Gu Shen pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I’ll listen to you.”
“It’s up to you to decide.” Old Master Gu closed his eyes. “Whether you want to kick him out of the board or send him to jail, I have no objections. Tell me!”
“I plan to recuperate for a while. Too many things have happened recently, and I need to digest it.” Gu Shen coughed and said weakly, “Besides, no matter what, Uncle is my elder. I won’t send him to jail. If Uncle feels that my existence threatens him, I can resign from my position in the Gu Corporation and just keep my shares.”
“Do you really want that?”
Gu Shen forced a smile. “There’s no other way.”
“Alright, this is not your fault, and you shouldn’t be the one to resign.” Old Master Gu gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all that bastard’s fault! Next week, I’ll make him resign.
With Old Master Gu’s help, Gu Shen could save a lot of trouble. However, at this point, Old Master Gu still wanted to protect Gu Sheng. Gu SHen’s eyes darkened, and he replied with a nod, “I understand.”
“By the way.” Old Master Gu’s gaze suddenly landed on the pillow at the side. “You and Yan Xi can start having a child. Don’t just focus on work. You have to pay more attention to Yan Xi and discuss it with her.”
“Okay. Xixi has been married to me for a year, and I haven’t made her any promises during this period. My body is not good, and she’s the one who’s doing her best to take care of me.”
Old Master Gu understood what he meant. “I’ll get her a position in the Gu Corporation.”
“Yan Xi is especially good to you. She has been secretly learning massage and wants to give you a surprise.”
A position would be gone at any time but shares wouldn’t.
Hearing this, Old Master Gu was a little surprised. “You want to give Yan Xi shares?”
