There was only one reason why Butler Zhao behaved like this: Ms. Gu Yilan who was sitting on the sofa.
As well as her son who was brought over by her and two strong men in suits who were standing silently behind the sofa chair.
Taking another quick glance out the window, you can find that there seem to be a lot more black vehicles in the yard - there should be more than just the two burly men in suits following them, there should be some other people staying outside temporarily.
It’s no wonder that Butler Zhao was so nervous and weak in the knees. This didn’t look like a visitor, but more like someone coming to seek revenge.
The moment Lu Weiren saw Gu Tianjiao, he almost fainted on the spot.
Oh my god, this pig’s head - you can tell it’s been beaten for a while, but it’s still swollen - could this pig’s head be the kid from the Gu family?
How come it's already been found?!
And that face...
At this moment, Father Lu recalled the driver's confession, and his lips trembled: "Is he kidding me? That little ancestor actually slapped me in the face."
At this moment, Gu Yilan also saw Lu Weiren standing in the aisle, so she put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head and greeted him: "Oh, Old Lu, long time no see."
She had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood: "I was quite thirsty on the way here, so I drank it before you did."
After saying that, Gu Yilan gently scraped the lid of the teacup and praised: "This tea is well brewed."
Unlike Ms. Gu's relaxed state, the two burly men in suits standing behind her had frosty faces from the moment they entered the room, like NPC background boards, without even an unnecessary CG expression.
Gu Tianjiao also looked gloomy - his face was a little swollen, and his eye bags were dark as if he hadn't slept all night. At first glance, he looked like a gloomy fat man.
Lu Weiren saw that the atmosphere was not right, but he still had to bite the bullet and go forward. He laughed dryly twice as a response to Gu Yilan's greeting.
"Really? Ah Lan, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?" He said politely, "Look, I haven't prepared anything..."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Gu Tianjiao who was sitting on the other side.
Could it be that this guy has already told his mother everything?
Of course, if Gu Yilan really asked, the Lu family would definitely be in the wrong: after all, the person was indeed lost under his custody, and the bullying was indeed done by his daughter.
Lu Weiren's mind was racing, wondering how to properly resolve the matter - the other party had come with ill intentions, and it seemed as if they were here to call for an explanation.
Damn it, the person who caused the trouble wasn't here at this time...
He forced a smile on his face and exchanged insincere greetings with Gu Yilan.
However, the other party seemed to lack interest and quickly interrupted him: "Okay, Lao Lu, given the friendship between our two families, there's no need to be so polite."
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Weiren with concern: "Where's your second daughter? Have you found her? I heard from the school that she's missing too."
coming--
Lu Weiren couldn't help biting his back teeth: There is definitely something else behind his words, he is here to hold me accountable.
He was cursing his unfortunate child madly in his heart, and he wanted to drag her over to him and slap her left and right, but he had to maintain the dignity of the host family, so he could only force a smile.
"Ah, I just got the news that they've found him and are rushing home..."
After all, it was his family that was in the wrong. Lu Weiren smiled and said, "When she comes back later, I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her apologize to Tianjiao. This child is really outrageous..."
Gu Yilan looked at him quietly for a while, her fingertips brushing the edge of the teacup, and no one knew what she was thinking.
She didn't respond, but Gu Tianjiao, who was sitting next to her, couldn't hold his temper anymore. He leaned over and asked, "Where is Lu Yao now?"
Being questioned directly like this, Lu Weiren couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Although the kid from the Gu family is also the victim in this matter - but your mother is still polite to me here. You are a junior, and you just open your mouth and ask me questions. Do you think I am your servant?
The smile on Lu Weiren's face froze and his expression became a little unnatural.
"How do you talk to your Uncle Lu?" Gu Yilan glanced at his son.
The expression on Gu Tianjiao's face was not very good, but he did not dare to act rashly in front of his mother. He sat back obediently and called Uncle Lu.
Lu Weiren's mood did not improve, but became even heavier - Gu Tianjiao's obedience made people feel particularly strange.
His eyes rolled slightly before he finally asked.
"Alan," he carefully assessed Gu Yilan's expression, "What are you coming here for this time?"
Chapter 94: The Chosen One
The moment he woke up from his coma, Gu Tianjiao knew that he was facing an extremely critical decision.
He got up from the bed dizzy and looked around subconsciously, only to find that he was no longer in the hotel and not in Lu's room.
He must have been taken away by someone else.
His hands and feet were not tied up, and the furnishings in the room were
Although the design was simple, it was normal - he swore to God that he would never live in such a strange room again in his life - so it was not possible for it to fall into the hands of other bad guys.
Gu Tianjiao quickly made a judgment: the woman’s new company was located in Jiangcheng, so he must have been taken away by her.
A mocking smile appeared on the handsome and slightly swollen face of the Son of Destiny: You have ignored me for so many years, and now you suddenly care about me - do you think that I will change my mind and become her good son?
dream!
Just as he was extending his associations in this way, a strange smell suddenly entered his nostrils.
After identifying it for a while, he realized that the smell was coming from himself.
Like most protagonists in domineering CEO literature, Gu Tianjiao has a mild obsession with mysophobia.
He had been feeling vaguely uncomfortable when he was unconscious, and now that he had regained consciousness, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, his skin was sticky and he felt extremely sick.
The clothes on his body had been changed, but if he smelled carefully, there was still a strange sour smell: it was like the smell of a fermented mixture of garbage water and detergent.
Gu Tianjiao, who suffers from mysophobia, immediately put on a mask of pain.
He almost jumped out of the bed and then quickly ran into the bathroom. He applied shower gel three times and almost rubbed off a layer of skin, but the unpleasant smell still lingered in his nose.
Some fragments of memories flashed through his mind - it seemed like the scene of himself lying on his back in a garbage truck like a turtle with its belly facing up.
This wasn't the worst thing that had happened to him so far.
The worst thing was that when Gu Tianjiao finally packed himself up and walked out of the room, he saw his mother whom he had not seen for several years.
It's impossible for two people who haven't had a good conversation for many years to show such loving mother and filial piety...
He walked into a place that looked like a living room, with three or two long sofas, on which sat some people Gu Tianjiao didn't know.
Over the years, Gu Tianjiao had basically no contact with anyone in the Gu family. The only person he knew was his own mother.
Gu Yilan's only reaction to the appearance of her biological son, whom she had not seen for many years, was to raise her head and glance at him.
At that time, Gu Tianjiao had actually made up his mind that even if Gu Yilan showed goodwill to him, he would not forgive her so easily. He had to express his anger with cold and heartless behavior.
But Gu Yilan's temper was even more difficult to deal with than his. After glancing at his own son, he picked up the phone and started talking, as if he didn't care about Gu Tianjiao's awakening.
Judging from just a few words, it should be about something happening in the company.
Gu Tianjiao just froze there awkwardly, his face ashen and he didn't move for a long time.
After a while, someone stood up to smooth things over - a young woman he didn't know, who was sitting very close to his mother and quietly reminded him to sit on the sofa first.
Apart from this person, the other people around him didn't pay much attention to him.
There were one or two people who looked at him curiously for a few more times, but that look made Gu Tianjiao's heart cold: it was like the look of a cat or a dog seen on the street, just thought it was fun, without any extra meaning.
They don't know themselves - or maybe they do, but they only see them as insignificant.
Gu Tianjiao sat down stiffly among a group of strangers, staring at his knees somewhat at a loss.
Five minutes later, Gu Yilan put down the phone.
She first informed the people around her of the results of the phone conversation - it was about company affairs again. Gu Tianjiao tried hard to understand, but still didn't quite get it - when she was almost done, she turned her attention to him.
"...It's just right, he's awake now." Gu Yilan pressed the table lightly with her palm and looked at her son. "Tell me everything that happened before you fell into a coma."
Her tone was a little too calm, giving people a very businesslike feeling.
Several pairs of eyes looked at him at the same time.
Gu Tianjiao was a little confused for a moment. He looked at his mother and then at the people around him, not understanding what was going on.
He originally thought that after seeing him, Gu Yilan would try every possible means to repair the relationship between mother and son...but the other party didn't seem to intend to use the mother-son love trick. It was as if she had received a complaint call and was ready to deal with the problem directly.
However, after being reminded of this, the nightmare-like accident that happened the day before involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Beaten up in a car...tied to a love hotel...this and that...a garbage truck...
Gu Tianjiao's face turned green.
Seeing that he looked like he had difficulty speaking, Gu Yilan thought that he was afraid of something and therefore did not dare to speak.
"These uncles and aunts can be trusted," she said. "There's no need to worry about anything."
"If anyone deliberately wants to target you, I will definitely help you deal with it."
Gu Tianjiao suddenly felt more pressured: this was not a matter of being targeted or not, but once it was spoken out he would be declared dead in terms of public opinion.
No, no one would believe him, right?
How could a high school student like Lu Yao drive a car? How could she tie him up and bring him into the hotel without anyone noticing?
There should be a limit to fabricating things.
If someone believed what he said and went to investigate personally... to be honest, Gu Tianjiao didn't want this kind of result!
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Tianjiao gritted his teeth and said -
------
-
"—Just skipping classes to go out and have fun?"
Father Lu looked at Gu Tianjiao sitting on the sofa in surprise and doubt, his mind a little confused.
This guy didn't even complain? He actually made excuses to cover up for Lu Yao?
How could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity? Is the Gu family kid so kind?
Or is he a masochist?
Lu Weiren subconsciously asked: "Then what is your face..."
His face looked miserable, and anyone with eyes could tell that he had been slapped.
But Gu Tianjiao was very stubborn and insisted that he had fallen and his face was swollen because he fell on the concrete floor.
"I skipped classes to hang out and even drank," Gu Tianjiao continued, braving the bullet. "I drank too much and blacked out. When I woke up, I found myself lying... there."
He swallowed those three words silently, deciding not to let more people know that he woke up in a garbage truck.
Lu Weiren was confused. He glanced at Gu Yilan who was drinking tea beside him, and had no idea what this mother and son were up to.
"I, I'm here to apologize to you, Uncle Lu," Gu Tianjiao pinched his thigh fiercely while putting on a flattering expression, "It's all my and Lu Yao's fault for being so willful and causing you so much trouble..."
Lu Weiren looked at him suspiciously and responded hesitantly.
"This is what I understand," Gu Yilan said at the right time. "I thought I'd discuss this with you... I originally wanted to leave him at home to rest, but he insisted on coming over, saying he wanted to apologize to you in person."
Gu Tianjiao nodded in agreement: "I'm really sorry, Uncle Lu."
Lu Weiren is feeling confused right now.
But no matter what, he didn't want to make the matter worse, so he played along and laughed: "So that's how it is... Haha, it's okay, it's just kids messing around."
After a pause, he quickly added, "But it's still a bit too outrageous—when Lu Yao comes back, I'll definitely teach her a lesson!"
Gu Yilan didn't seem to have any objection to this. She glanced at the cold tea on the table and said, "Although it's just a child's mischief, Tianjiao has caused your family a lot of trouble over the years..."
"I plan to take this opportunity to pick him up."
Lu Weiren thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this, and it would also make his daughter calm down a little.
During the years that this kid was fostered in the Lu family, Gu Yilan had been paying for his upbringing. It didn't really take much trouble for him to raise another child, but it was also a hassle to keep him at home all the time - he might as well take this opportunity to end the foster relationship.
When he first took over the child, Lu Weiren was actually quite willing to do a favor and raise the heir of the Gu family.
Until he heard from Gu Yilan...
Lu Weiren had made up his mind, but he still said a few polite words on the surface: "Is that so? But your company is busy right now, so it's not very convenient, right? The child is living well with me..."
Gu Yilan shook her head: "I've caused you a lot of trouble. The child is grown up now. It's time for him to be independent."
She looked at her son and said, "But I'm really busy at work, so I probably don't have time to come see you."
"I plan to rent you a house near the school and hire a nanny to take care of your daily life," Gu Yilan said. "Your studies are quite stressful, right? If you want to attend cram school or hire a tutor, I can pay for it."
