He had to look at Gu Fengnian's face when he went back, and he couldn't bear to let Pei Ming spend the holidays alone.
Pei Ming opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time: "If you don't go back..."
Gu Rang got up from his arms with his arms in his arms: "It's a bit of a grind, if you don't say it, you won't. If you want to..."
He was half-sentenced when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Gu Rang was stunned for a moment: "Who would come so early?"
Pei Ming sat up: "I'll go and have a look."
The two walked out of the bedroom back and forth, and the knock on the door was more urgent than before.
Pei Ming walked to the door, looked through the door mirror, his expression was not very good, but he pushed the door open happily.
Old Mr. Ni appeared at the door with a cane in his hand.
"Grandpa?!" Gu Rang's face became uglier than Pei Ming's.
Old Mr. Ni entered the door with a cane, looked around the room like a patrol, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Rang: "I have a few words to say to him."
Gu Rang was 1 unwilling in his heart, and stood still in place.
Seeing him like this, old Mr. Ni sighed with resentment: "Look at your talent, I just have a few words with him, what can I do with him?"
Pei Ming squeezed his arm: "It's okay, wait for me at home." He grabbed a coat and left with Mr. Ni.
The car was parked downstairs. The driver saw them going downstairs and opened the door graciously.
Mr. Ni got into the car first, then glanced at the place beside him: "Let's chat."
Pei Ming nodded, and sat down in the car.
"Pei Ming." Although Mr. Ni called him by his name, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.
Pei Ming did not answer, but listened quietly.
Old Mr. Ni pondered for a while, and then said to himself: "Your biological mother is a wine hostess, and I don't know who your biological father is. She lived with this gangster Pei Zhong when she was seven months pregnant.
After giving birth to you, her nature did not change, and she still worked in a bar. Later, she met a man who was in business, left you father and son, and became his underground lover. "
Speaking of this, Mr. Ni stopped and turned to look at Pei Ming.
Pei Ming kept his head down, with a calm expression on his face.
Old Mr. Ni spoke again, continuing what he hadn't finished: "Later, that business man dumped your mother, but she still didn't come back, because she didn't want you, so she went to Lin'an City again, and married two men successively. married, the first man was poor and divorced within a few days, the second man had a little money, she gave birth to two more children, and is living a good life now."
After the words were finished, Mr. Ni rarely showed a smile. He smiled and asked Pei Ming, "Do you know why I want to tell you this?"
Pei Ming's calm expression finally showed some reaction: "I know."
"Your biological mother regards you as a stumbling block, no matter how good or bad she is, she doesn't want you.
Do you know what stumbling block means? "
Pei Ming pursed his lips, took a breath and replied in two words: "I know."
"Since you know everything and know who you are, why do you still have the face to pester Xiao Rang? Do you think you are worthy of him?"
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Ni watched with a half-smile, and calmly stabbed Pei Ming's heart with words that hurt more than a knife.
"What can you bring him? Let him live with you in a dilapidated shanty town, and let him work hard for the thousands of dollars to work part-time?
He is kind-hearted and pity you, he is innocent and deceitful, so he deserves to be entangled by you and unable to escape? "
Pei Ming's hands hanging on both sides were shaking.
"Don't pester him, leave him. If you want money, I'll give it to you." He took out a card and said, "This money is something you can't earn in your life. If you leave Xiaorang, this money is yours."
Pei Ming's eyes fell on the card, and it took him a while to look up at Mr. Ni: "I only want him."
The smile on Ni Laosheng's face finally receded: "Don't be too greedy. There is more than one way to make you leave him. I hope you can do it yourself."
"I won't leave him." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Mr. Ni's eyes, and put his backhand in his ear: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I go back."
Mr. Ni looked at him in disbelief: "Xiao Rang has been listening?"
Pei Ming smiled harmlessly: "I want to thank you for telling me such a miserable story. Xiao Rang heard it just now, and he may love me even more in the future."
Mr. Ni stared at the mobile phone in his hand, and the composure he had just now disappeared suddenly: "You are more despicable than I thought! You actually took advantage of his feelings for you like this."
"Yeah, how can a person who doesn't even want his own mother be open and upright?"
Pei Ming opened the car door and got out of the car, turned around and bowed deeply to him: "Old Mr. Ni, money can't drive me away, and neither can other means. Thank you for what you said just now. Thank you. I have a talisman, and it also puts another lock between me and Xiao Rang."
With his back straightened, Pei Ming turned and walked into the dark unit door.
After stepping up a few steps, his straight back suddenly collapsed, and all his strength was drained instantly, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his feet.
Every word that Mr. Ni said was like a knife, which cut him all over with cuts and bruises.
The phone in his pocket didn't dial out, and Gu Rang didn't hear a word in the car.
He won't take advantage of Gu Rang.
Gu Rang was the person he desperately wanted to guard, holding, offering, and watching from aloof.
Gu Rang was guarding the door, and when he heard Pei Ming's voice going upstairs, he hurried down: "What did my grandfather tell you?"
Pei Ming took his hand and pointed to the door of his house: "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Gu Rang followed him into the door worriedly: "Say! Did he force you to leave?"
Pei Ming nodded: "Yes, let me leave you."
Gu Rang pulled him angrily: "You agreed? You are not allowed to agree!"
Pei Ming took off his coat and hung it on the hanger casually: "Your grandfather is too stingy, and the price is too low. If he pays more, maybe I will agree."
Gu Rang stopped in front of him: "What did you say? You mustn't hide it from me!"
Pei Ming rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen: "He said he would give me 1 yuan to leave you, but I said no, 2 yuan, he might think it's not worth it, and our conversation fell apart."
Gu Rang was out of breath and slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't joke with me, tell the truth!"
Pei Ming turned around and smiled, "I'm still standing in front of you, isn't this the answer?"
Gu Rang didn't speak or move, he stood in front of him and stared at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to eat people?" Pei Ming said as he opened the refrigerator door casually, and asked him with a smile, "Are you really going to eat me? Then let's have something special today. You like chocolate flavor." The one is still strawberry flavored, I'll bring it to you."
Before Gu Rang could answer, Pei Ming put his arms around his waist, buried his head in his neck, and took a deep sniff: "Brother, do you want to have breakfast first or me first?"
"Eat your uncle!" Gu Rang grabbed Pei Ming by the collar and pulled him away: "Make breakfast, we have to go to the mall later."
Throughout the whole day, Gu Rang secretly observed Pei Ming's expression, and found nothing unusual, so he gradually felt relieved.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gu Rang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
The buildings in this area are very close to each other. Just after dawn, half-grown children began to jingle and set off firecrackers.
When he woke up, Pei Ming woke up too. Seeing that he hadn't slept enough, he reached out to help him cover his ears: "You are sleeping for a while."
Gu Rang shook his head, avoiding his hand, sat up straight in a daze, stared out of the window fiercely, and pushed Pei Ming for a while: "Go and take out the firecrackers we bought yesterday, I'll go to meet you." meet them!"
The two of them put on their clothes and went downstairs with firecrackers. There were a lot of children downstairs.
Several adults were worried and stood chatting and looked at the children.
Children play with small firecrackers, and the firecrackers used by older children like Gu Rang who are more than 200 months old are naturally bigger.
After a while, he had overwhelmingly taken away all the children, and it was actually time for breakfast.
Gu Rang waved to Pei Ming: "Go, go home."
As soon as he walked to the door of the unit, the cell phone in Gu Rang's pocket rang. It was Mrs. Gu calling: "Hey, Xiao Rang, you and Mingming clean up, I will pick you up later."
40. Spring Festival
◎You are not an outsider◎
Guessing that Gu Rang would shirk his refusal, Mrs. Gu hung up the phone before he could speak.
A phone call just now broke Gu Rang's good mood, and he went upstairs without making a sound when he entered the door.
Although Pei Ming didn't hear what Mrs. Gu said, he could guess the general idea.
When he was a child, Pei Ming hated New Year's Day very much.
The other children were accompanied by their parents, and the family enjoyed themselves happily, but he was alone, not to mention delicious food, and he didn't even have a warm meal. He was young at that time, and it would be a lie to say that he was not jealous.
Later, when he grew up and experienced many times, he became numb: "Brother, you go back."
Gu Rang turned to look at him, and even straightened his hair that was blown by the wind when he came downstairs just now. His tone sounded gentle, but the content didn't sound harmonious: "I said that I want to celebrate the festival with you. The New Year's Eve Yes, don't ask me to beat the child."
Just as Pei Ming was about to persuade him again, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Gu Rang's brows that had been stretched just now were frowned again.
Opening the door, Mrs. Gu stood at the door with a smile on her face: "Is it packed? Let's go."
"I'm not going back." Gu Rang left without saying a word.
"What kind of attitude, it's rude." Mrs. Gu entered the door with a handbag, and greeted Pei Ming with a smile: "Mingming, long time no see."
"Hello Auntie."
Mrs. Gu patted his arm and urged: "Mingming is obedient, go change clothes, let's go."
Gu Rang sat on the sofa with his arms folded, with an irritable expression on his face: "Mom, I've already told you, we won't go back, why are you here?"
Mrs. Gu threw her handbag directly on him: "It's not harming you to let you go back for the New Year! Hurry up!"
Pei Ming picked up Mrs. Gu's bag and put it away: "Auntie, let me persuade him."
But Mrs. Gu took his arm and pushed him into the bedroom: "Mingming doesn't need your persuasion, go and change quickly, if he won't go back, let's go, let him stay here by himself."
Pei Ming was pushed and walked two steps. Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, he froze and said, "Auntie... I won't go."
Mrs. Gu sighed: "Hey, why don't you two make up a couple, one is more disobedient than the other."
Glancing at Gu Rang, he raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder: "Get out of the way, I'll sit here!"
While rubbing his shoulders, Gu Rang reluctantly stepped aside. Mrs. Gu sat down and greeted Pei Ming: "Mingming, come and sit down too, and listen to what I have to say to you."
Pei Ming sat down in front of her and clasped his fingers, a little embarrassed: "Auntie, uncle's attitude towards me now is not suitable for me to go. Have a good Spring Festival and don't be affected because of me."
Mrs. Gu felt a little distressed when she heard what he said: "Why wouldn't it be suitable, Mingming, you and the little concubine have both received certificates, and we are already a family now, how can we not go home during the Chinese New Year?"
Pei Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Rang: "Brother, have you received the certificate?"
Mrs. Gu was eager to persuade them to go home, but she didn't notice that Pei Ming's tone was a bit wrong: "Yes, I have already received the certificates, of course I have to go back."
Pei Ming's gaze was still on Gu Rang: "Brother?!"
Gu Rang was a little guilty of being stared at by him, got up and took his hand: "Come with me!"
Thinking that they agreed to go back, Mrs. Gu immediately felt relieved: "I'll wait for you here."
Pulling Pei Ming into the bedroom, Gu Rang closed the door behind his back.
"Brother, what's the matter with getting the certificate?"
There is definitely no way to hide it. In fact, Gu Rang didn't want to lie to Pei Ming. Last time he celebrated his birthday in another place, he didn't get his household registration book, which delayed the chance to get the certificate.
This time, Gu Rang wanted to wait until his birthday to bring up this matter again, but Mrs. Gu did not expect to shake it out in advance.
"I want to prepare a birthday present for myself in advance, can't I?" Gu Rang took out the household registration booklet from the closet compartment and handed it to Pei Ming: "My mother sent it to me some time ago, she thought we had already received the certificate. gone."
Pei Ming's eyes were fixed on Gu Rang's face, his pupils were dark, and there were some floating lights hidden in his eyes.
After a while, I turned around and opened the closet: "Change your clothes, or Auntie will get angry again in a while."
Gu Rang stretched out his hand to hold his arm, still feeling uncomfortable: "You don't have to do this, I..."
"Brother, I don't find it difficult to go to your house for a holiday."
Seeing the two of them come out after changing their clothes, Mrs. Gu smiled happily: "Let's go."
Mrs. Gu was driving, and Gu Rang and Pei Ming sat in the back seat.
Along the way, Gu Rang held Pei Ming's hand all the time, and didn't let go for a moment.
The car parked in front of the Gu family's old house, Gu Rang was a little surprised: "Celebrate the New Year in the old house?"
Mrs. Gu unbuckled her seat belt: "Well, this year we are celebrating Chinese New Year in the old house, and your grandparents are also here."
Mr. Ni has only Mrs. Gu as his only daughter, and it is not uncommon for the two families to get together for the New Year.
Gu Rang squeezed Pei Ming's hand with some worry: "Are the others here too?"
Others were referring to the relatives of the Gu family. His grandmother gave birth to many children, with a total of four sons and two daughters. Every time they got together, there were at least dozens of people.
Gu Rang is most annoyed by such occasions, not to mention that Pei Ming is here this year, he is even more disgusted.
Mrs. Gu saw through his thoughts: "I'm here now, just to introduce Mingming to them formally.
Seeing that your face is so long, I'm here, what are you worried about, and it can make you suffer? "
Gu Rang still resisted: "My dad..."
"I said hello to your dad. He agreed to Mingming's coming."
In fact, what Mrs. Gu said was half true and half false. Gu Fengnian agreed to be true, but it was not voluntary.
Ever since Mrs. Gu agreed to help Gu Rang, she has made arrangements for Gu Fengnian overtly and secretly.
Especially regarding the matter of Gu Cheng, Mrs. Gu made it clear that if Gu Fengnian dared to hand over the group to Gu Cheng, then she would divorce Gu Fengnian. In her words: "I don't care who gets your part, but My share, how I want to control it, you have no right to intervene."
Gu Fengnian was devastated by the trouble on her side, and Gu Cheng was not at ease on his side. Not to mention all the business deals he was in charge of were taken away by TN, and even got into a fight in the police station.
What upset Gu Fengnian the most was that he recently found out that the number that Gu Cheng called in that secret call was the number of the business department of TN Company.
He was caught in a dilemma, so he put his mind on Hou Rang again, and specially invited his father-in-law, Mr. Ni, to come out in person.
But the result was very unsatisfactory. Not only did Pei Ming not persuade him to leave, but Mr. Ni got angry when he came back and scolded him bloody. When we met this morning, he ignored him.
So, when Mrs. Gu went to pick up Gu Rang and Pei Ming, he didn't stop him, as he tacitly agreed that they would come back for the New Year.
Gu Rang and Pei Ming got out of the car one after another, followed Mrs. Gu into the door.
The front hall was very lively, besides Gu Fengnian's family, Gu Rang's uncle, uncle and two aunts were also there.
Gu Fengnian was in charge of the Gu family, and others either sought jobs under him, or took advantage of the Gu family's shadow. Gu Fengnian was surrounded by brothers and nephews and chatted.
When Mrs. Gu entered the door, everyone looked over. They were obviously surprised to see Gu Rang and Pei Ming.
Gu Rang's relatives knew about the quarrel between Pei Ming and his family, and when they saw Pei Ming again, they all wanted to explore.
Among the expressions of the crowd, Gu Fengshi and Gu Cheng's father and son had the ugliest expressions.
Mrs. Gu has always loved Pei Ming very much. Gu Fengnian was pretending at the time, but she was sincere.
Thinking that after the two of them got the marriage certificate, compared with before, they would be worse than before. Holding Pei Ming's arm, they were closer than their own son: "Let me introduce you, Pei Ming, Xiao Rang's partner."
Gu Fengshi looked at his younger brother's face, and found that Gu Fengnian didn't react much, and couldn't hold back anymore. He was the first to ask, "Why did you bring an outsider back when your family was reunited during the Chinese New Year?"
Gu Rang curled his hands hanging by his side into a ball, staring at Gu Fengshi sharply, his face was gloomy and frightening.
Mrs. Gu who was at the side hurriedly pushed him to Pei Ming's side, signaling Pei Ming to keep an eye on him.
Pei Ming took Gu Rang's hand, and gently stroked his back with the other hand, softly comforting him in his ear: "Brother, I'm fine."
Seeing Gu Rang like this, Gu Fengshi put on the airs of an elder: "Why is Xiao Rang still angry? What did I say wrong? He is an outsider."
Mrs. Gu took off her coat casually and handed it to the aunt beside her, without looking at him, she said casually: "Brother, what you said is wrong, why is Mingming an outsider, he is Xiao Rang's object, naturally and Xiao Rang Same, all my sons, one family.
If you are serious about the distance, you are the outsider, big brother, and outsiders should not meddle in our family's affairs.Take care of your own family affairs when you have time, and don't always think about putting your son in someone else's house. "
What she said was like a direct slap to Gu Fengshi's face. He was speechless, and the people around him didn't dare to hit the gun.
Gu Fengnian was drinking tea from a cup, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two.
Mrs. Gu is afraid of only one person in her life, and that is her father, Gu Rang's grandfather.
It's a pity that he is on the second floor now, so no one in this set can shock her.
Mrs. Gu held Pei Ming with one arm, and Gu Rang with the other: "Go, go to the second floor to say hello to grandma and grandparents, and go ask for red envelopes."
When they came to the second floor, Mrs. Gu was not in a hurry to meet the old people, but stopped and looked at Gu Rang and Pei Ming.
Smooth out the wrinkles on Pei Ming's clothes: "Mingming, don't take what they say to heart. People who don't matter don't deserve to be cared about."
Although Mrs. Gu usually treats Gu Rang carelessly, she loves him sincerely, and she loves Pei Ming deeply.
Knowing that her son has identified the boy in front of her, she also tried her best to protect it.
Pei Ming lowered his eyelids slightly to look at her, half covered his thick eyelashes, covering most of the emotions in his eyes, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, being favored and defended by his mother, isn't that the feeling?
After taking two steps, Mrs. Gu stopped and told them both: "Remember, you two, go in later to please your grandma and grandma, and don't care about your grandpa's face."
41. Interrogation
◎What can he do, he can only confuse the water...◎
Although Mrs. Gu said so, Gu Rang was still thinking secretly, such a stubborn old man, can he be ignored just by ignoring it?
As soon as he and Pei Ming walked to the door of the small hall, they heard grandma's voice: "Xiao Ru is really serious, she said to pick up and let her go, why hasn't she come back yet, she is always dawdling."
Mrs. Gu pushed the door open with a smile and walked in: "I'm back now, can your grandson run away!"
"Hello, grandma, grandpa and grandma!" Gu Rang took Pei Ming's hand and walked up to the three old people, and Pei Ming followed him to say hello.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Ni smiled kindly and waved at Pei Ming: "Mingming is here too, okay! Sit down."
Old Mr. Ni was sullen, cleared his throat, and then turned his head to the other side.
Seeing this, Gu Rang exchanged glances with Mrs. Gu, pressed Pei Ming's shoulders, let him sit on the sofa, and sat on the armrest beside him.
Before the two of them sat still, Mrs. Gu beckoned to the aunt at home: "Go and get all the snacks and drinks I prepared, and put them here!"
"Ahem!" Old Mr. Ni cleared his throat in a strange tone.
Gu Rang's face became a little ugly, and when he was about to speak, Mrs. Gu blocked him and stuffed a bunch of snacks into the hands of each of him and Pei Ming, and thoughtfully tore open beef jerky and stuffed them in Pei Ming's hands: "Mingming, This is delicious, I went to choose it with my grandmother."
The old lady Gu looked at him with a smile in her eyes, as if coaxing a child: "Try it quickly, see if you like it?"
Mrs. Gu is always like this. When she meets a junior she likes, she coaxes and pampers her. She is satisfied with what they do. When she meets a child she doesn't like, she just gets annoyed by talking too much.
Pei Ming took the beef jerky, but she still felt that it wasn't enough, and pointed to the juice next to her, motioning to Mrs. Gu: "Xiao Ru, open this one for the child, and others, open them all, pick and eat, and eat whichever you like. .”
Madam Ni looked at Gu Rang, loving her with all her heart and eyes: "Xiao Rang, why don't you eat?"
Gu Rang glanced at his grandfather, and Mr. Ni was also looking at him, and he cleared his throat for the third time.
Madam Ni finally couldn't take it anymore, and pushed him with disgust: "Ahem, cough, is it annoying? Go downstairs and chat with Fengnian, don't sit here."
Mr. Ni gave Gu Rang a cold look: "Xiao Rang, come with me." He got up and walked out the door.
Gu Rang got up and planned to go out, but was stopped by Mrs. Ni: "Xiao Rang just entered the door, and I haven't said a few words yet, what did you ask him to do!"
Old Mr. Ni turned his head with his hands behind his back, held back for a long time and said, "Can't I play chess with him?"
Mrs. Ni pressed Gu Rang's arm to keep him from moving: "What kind of chess are you playing? If Rang doesn't like to play chess, you can go find Feng Nian and let him play with you." Then she looked at Gu Rang: "Let's not go .”
Mrs. Gu suppressed her smile and walked over to hold Mr. Ni's arm: "Dad, let's go. I'll call Fengnian for you and let him play chess with you."
After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether Mr. Ni was willing or not, he dragged him to the door.
The hall was finally clear, and the two old men turned their attention to Gu Rang and Pei Ming: "There were so many people at the birthday party last time, I didn't have time to say a few words to Mingming. Mingming, you and Rang Rang are classmates. Right."
Pei Ming sat with his back straight and nodded cautiously: "Well, my brother and I... Xiao Rang and I are classmates."
"Hello classmate, we understand each other, and we can take care of each other with Rang Rang. He is playful, so please take care of him and don't mess around with him."
After Mr. Ni left, Gu Rang stopped being tense and relaxed, "Why would Ah Ming mess around with me? He is a good boy, and he even won the first prize in a national competition not long ago."
Hearing what he said, the two old people were even more delighted: "Hey, that's really rare!"
The grandparents and grandchildren chatted happily with each other.
Gu Rang didn't miss any chance to praise Pei Ming. The two old people were satisfied and happy to hear that, and their impression of Pei Ming was even better.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Gu held Pei Ming's hand and did not let go: "You and Rang Rang sit with me, don't go to other tables, they want to drink later, let's not mix with them."
When Gu Rang and Pei Ming helped the two elderly people go downstairs, the restaurant downstairs had already set up wine and food.
Seeing Mrs. Gu affectionately pulling Pei Ming into a seat, some people's expressions immediately changed.
Gu Rang's two aunts looked at their children, their words were sour, and they whispered to the side: "The old lady is so confused, she is not so close to her grandchildren, but she likes an outsider very much." Let go."
"Hmph, who knows what's going on in her heart. In the morning, Xiaocheng went to pay a New Year's call, and she sent it without saying a word. Now it's good, and she chatted with her for a whole day."
Gu Fengnian and Mr. Ni's faces were also not very good. They gave each other winks, but neither of them said anything.
Everyone got together with their own concerns and had a New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, they are old and their energy is limited. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Ni are ready to rest after dinner. Before going upstairs, they remind Gu Rang and Pei Ming not to leave in a hurry.
Gu Rang and Pei Ming couldn't escape it, and decided to stay for the night and leave after breakfast tomorrow.
The two old men left, Mr. Ni and Gu Fengnian finally seized the opportunity, and the two began to exchange glances again.
In the end, the son-in-law was still unable to persuade his father-in-law, so he spoke first: "Gu Rang! Come here, I have something to talk to you about your grandfather."
Mrs. Gu stopped her intentionally, but Mr. Ni gave her a stare back.
What should come always comes, Gu Rang didn't plan to hide, got up happily, and followed the two into the study on the first floor.
The study room was no different from the interrogation room, the joyous atmosphere was completely blocked by the door panels, and the air became cold and stiff.
Gu Fengnian and Mr. Ni put aside yesterday's unhappiness for the time being, they united front and decided to unanimously target Gu Rang.
After exchanging glances, it was Gu Fengnian who spoke first: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Both of their actions were seen by Gu Rang. In fact, at the dinner table, Gu Rang had been secretly observing the two of them, trying to learn some tricks.
He pretended to think for a while: "Me? I just want to graduate well, work hard, and live well."
Mr. Ni's brows were immediately frowned, and he sighed bitterly: "Your father is asking what you think about the matter with Pei Ming. For him, you don't want the Gu family? You don't care about the Ni family." gone?"
Gu Rang felt a little wronged when he heard it: "It's because I don't want it, it's because you don't give it.
Didn't my dad already train my cousin as his successor?Grandpa, you should also find a successor for yourself as soon as possible, train him as soon as possible, and don't find him when the time comes. "
Gu Fengnian slammed the cup on the coffee table with a bang: "Listen to what you said! Your grandfather is still in good health, what nonsense are you talking about?"
This small scene did not scare Gu Rang at all: "No matter how strong my grandfather is, he is not as young as you. You are already looking for a successor, so why are you stopping my grandfather from looking for it? You don't mean to do it for me? Also cultivate to be the successor of the Ni family?"
Gu Fengnian didn't expect him to bite back, he was at a loss for words, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "When will I stop your grandfather from finding the company's successor!"
Gu Rang nodded in agreement: "It's best if you don't think so. After all, your vision is really bad. Don't make decisions for my grandfather."
Old Mr. Ni snorted: "You are right, your dad's vision is really bad! That Gu Cheng, who is rich in gold and jade in the outside, is corrupt in the inside, so your dad can choose him. If it were me, I would rather Let that boy Pei Ming take the company away, and he will definitely not give up the power to Gu Cheng."
Mr. Ni's words obviously aroused the smell of gunpowder. Gu Fengnian was squeezed out by the two people, and he was full of dissatisfaction: "Dad, you can't say that, don't you also object to Xiao Rang and Pei Ming being together?"
Mentioning Gu Cheng, Mr. Ni was furious and his eyes widened, "I object to them being together, but I don't agree with you finding an idiot to be the successor of the Gu family! Pass it on to Gu Cheng, the Ni family will definitely draw a line with you.
Not only will I draw a clear line, but I will also cut off all cooperation! "
The Gu family and the Ni family have coexisted for many years, and their industries have long been inseparable, but Mr. Ni's words are a bit serious.
So Gu Fengnian couldn't hold back his anger: "Dad, what you said was too ill-considered. Withdrawing from the Gu family will hurt the vitality of the Ni family."
Gu Rang observed secretly from the side, and saw the needles: "Dad, you didn't think about what you said. How could you threaten my grandfather? You forgot who spared no effort to support Gu's back then? I can't see my grandfather is getting old. It is not right for you to take Joe as a stand-up, but instead put him in the old man's army!"
Gu Rang's words favored the Ni family, and Mr. Ni listened very pleasantly: "No matter what, it's my grandson, my own family, and I will still think of the Ni family no matter what!
Unlike some people, I have been supporting my son for so many years, but unexpectedly, I am still an outsider. "
"Dad!" Gu Fengnian was so angry that his tone changed: "Dad, how can I be an outsider, Gu Ni is originally from the same family!"
Gu Rang poured a cup of tea for Mr. Ni, and continued to stir up the water: "Grandpa, drink some tea to quench your thirst. What my dad said makes sense. Gu Ni is a family, so Gu Cheng is also your half-grandson. Ni It's not impossible to hand over the family property to him."
After hearing what he said, Mr. Gu dropped the cup before he put the tea to his mouth: "Half a grandson! Is he worthy! Only your father can take a fancy to him, if it were me, half a hair would be worthless!" I can't look down on it!"
After being splashed with tea, Gu Fengnian patted his pants irritably, and said angrily, "I chose Gu Cheng, and you forced me to do so. It's not that you said that Pei Ming's intentions were not right, and Xiao Rang couldn't let Xiao Rang continue with him." If Xiao Rang does not agree to separate from him, then..."
Old Mr. Ni looked at Gu Rang while listening, and saw that his complexion was not good. Then he remembered that Gu Rang had heard what he said in the car with Pei Ming yesterday. It got deeper and deeper: "Shut up! Xiao Rang, you go out first, and I will talk to your dad alone."
Gu Rang responded and walked out of the study, where the two were still arguing.
As soon as he came to the steps, he met Gu Cheng with furtive eyes.
When Gu Rang turned obedient, he changed into an angry look: "What are you looking at, have you ever seen being scolded?"
He spoke rudely, but Gu Cheng still spoke to him in a good voice: "Xiao Rang, calm down, uncle is also worried for you."
Gu Rang still didn't give him a good face: "I'm so old, but still scolding and throwing glasses at me, I can't stay in this family anymore!"
As he was about to leave, Gu Cheng hurriedly stopped him by taking a wrong step: "Don't leave, I'll go and persuade uncle for you."
42、~~
◎He felt like he had never lived◎
Before Gu Cheng had gone far, Pei Ming had already stood behind Gu Rang, and followed him to look at Gu Cheng's back, until Gu Cheng walked into the study, he said softly: "I'm sorry, but you were also banned because I was a senior. scold."
Gu Rang turned sideways, looked him up and down for a while, and squeezed his arm: "Don't be sentimental, I got scolded by my own strength, and I didn't get scolded tonight, it was my dad and I Grandpa got into a fight."
Pei Ming choked for a moment, and his expression became inexplicably dark.
Gu Rang glanced at the other relatives who were still chatting. Those who played cards, chatted, and trained their children were all busy and noisy.
His brows were unconsciously drawn together, and he pulled him up to the second floor, afraid that he would think too much, and said a few more words: "You think I won't be scolded without you? The scolding was even worse before." The original owner stayed behind. In my memory, from childhood to adulthood, there are many parts that have been trained.
In the past, the reasons for being scolded were scattered, such as not studying hard, drinking and drinking, causing trouble and fighting, and not being self-motivated.
Especially for Mr. Ni, the meeting is either a lecture or a reprimand.This is also the reason why he still seldom interacts with the Ni family even though his grandmother is very kind to him.
Pei Ming silently followed behind him, his gaze resting on Gu Rang's slender shoulders, the color of his pupils gradually deepened, and complex emotions gradually grew in his heart.
What Mr. Ni said to him that day flashed through his mind, 'Are you worthy of him? ''What can you bring him? '
Gu Rang walked ahead, not paying attention to Pei Mingsu's eyes, and yawned lazily: "I'm tired, let's go to the room to lie down and eat dumplings later."
None of the three elderly people showed up for this meal. They are too old to eat too late.
A group of juniors gathered around the dining table, but the atmosphere that should have been lively was inexplicably lowered a few degrees.
Especially Gu Cheng's face was the ugliest, he didn't sit next to Gu Fengnian for the first time, and hid quietly at another table.
Gu Fengnian came out of the study with a straight face. He has always been the center of the Gu family, he is not happy, and the others dare not show their emotions too much.
Gu Rang had no appetite, so he ate two dumplings symbolically and went back to his room.
New Year's Eve just passed by.
After breakfast on the morning of the first day of the new year, Mrs. Gu still didn't want to let them go.
But Gu Rang could see that Pei Ming's expression had been tense and uncomfortable, so he insisted on leaving.
Before getting into the car, the old lady Gu looked at the snacks and fruits stuffed into the car, she was still a little unwilling, and complained to Gu Fengnian: "Why don't you send a bigger car to give it away, I still have a lot of things left for him .”
Back at the rental house, Gu Rang, Pei Ming and the driver barely carried their things upstairs.
Gu Rang was leaning on the sofa tiredly, looking at the pile of snacks, not knowing how long it would take to eat: "A Ming, let's open a snack shop, and when the items are sold out, go to my grandmother's to pick them up. There is no cost, and how much you sell is net profit.”
Pei Ming was washing everything in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up. The sound of the water was too loud, so he didn't hear Gu Rang's words.
Gu Rang waited for a long time without getting an answer, turned his head and asked him: "What are you doing? It's still early for lunch! Besides, don't do it, let's go out to eat."
Pei Ming put the shredded ginger into the pot, and added red dates and rock sugar: "Brother
Pei Ming opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time: "If you don't go back..."
Gu Rang got up from his arms with his arms in his arms: "It's a bit of a grind, if you don't say it, you won't. If you want to..."
He was half-sentenced when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Gu Rang was stunned for a moment: "Who would come so early?"
Pei Ming sat up: "I'll go and have a look."
The two walked out of the bedroom back and forth, and the knock on the door was more urgent than before.
Pei Ming walked to the door, looked through the door mirror, his expression was not very good, but he pushed the door open happily.
Old Mr. Ni appeared at the door with a cane in his hand.
"Grandpa?!" Gu Rang's face became uglier than Pei Ming's.
Old Mr. Ni entered the door with a cane, looked around the room like a patrol, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Rang: "I have a few words to say to him."
Gu Rang was 1 unwilling in his heart, and stood still in place.
Seeing him like this, old Mr. Ni sighed with resentment: "Look at your talent, I just have a few words with him, what can I do with him?"
Pei Ming squeezed his arm: "It's okay, wait for me at home." He grabbed a coat and left with Mr. Ni.
The car was parked downstairs. The driver saw them going downstairs and opened the door graciously.
Mr. Ni got into the car first, then glanced at the place beside him: "Let's chat."
Pei Ming nodded, and sat down in the car.
"Pei Ming." Although Mr. Ni called him by his name, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.
Pei Ming did not answer, but listened quietly.
Old Mr. Ni pondered for a while, and then said to himself: "Your biological mother is a wine hostess, and I don't know who your biological father is. She lived with this gangster Pei Zhong when she was seven months pregnant.
After giving birth to you, her nature did not change, and she still worked in a bar. Later, she met a man who was in business, left you father and son, and became his underground lover. "
Speaking of this, Mr. Ni stopped and turned to look at Pei Ming.
Pei Ming kept his head down, with a calm expression on his face.
Old Mr. Ni spoke again, continuing what he hadn't finished: "Later, that business man dumped your mother, but she still didn't come back, because she didn't want you, so she went to Lin'an City again, and married two men successively. married, the first man was poor and divorced within a few days, the second man had a little money, she gave birth to two more children, and is living a good life now."
After the words were finished, Mr. Ni rarely showed a smile. He smiled and asked Pei Ming, "Do you know why I want to tell you this?"
Pei Ming's calm expression finally showed some reaction: "I know."
"Your biological mother regards you as a stumbling block, no matter how good or bad she is, she doesn't want you.
Do you know what stumbling block means? "
Pei Ming pursed his lips, took a breath and replied in two words: "I know."
"Since you know everything and know who you are, why do you still have the face to pester Xiao Rang? Do you think you are worthy of him?"
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Ni watched with a half-smile, and calmly stabbed Pei Ming's heart with words that hurt more than a knife.
"What can you bring him? Let him live with you in a dilapidated shanty town, and let him work hard for the thousands of dollars to work part-time?
He is kind-hearted and pity you, he is innocent and deceitful, so he deserves to be entangled by you and unable to escape? "
Pei Ming's hands hanging on both sides were shaking.
"Don't pester him, leave him. If you want money, I'll give it to you." He took out a card and said, "This money is something you can't earn in your life. If you leave Xiaorang, this money is yours."
Pei Ming's eyes fell on the card, and it took him a while to look up at Mr. Ni: "I only want him."
The smile on Ni Laosheng's face finally receded: "Don't be too greedy. There is more than one way to make you leave him. I hope you can do it yourself."
"I won't leave him." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Mr. Ni's eyes, and put his backhand in his ear: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I go back."
Mr. Ni looked at him in disbelief: "Xiao Rang has been listening?"
Pei Ming smiled harmlessly: "I want to thank you for telling me such a miserable story. Xiao Rang heard it just now, and he may love me even more in the future."
Mr. Ni stared at the mobile phone in his hand, and the composure he had just now disappeared suddenly: "You are more despicable than I thought! You actually took advantage of his feelings for you like this."
"Yeah, how can a person who doesn't even want his own mother be open and upright?"
Pei Ming opened the car door and got out of the car, turned around and bowed deeply to him: "Old Mr. Ni, money can't drive me away, and neither can other means. Thank you for what you said just now. Thank you. I have a talisman, and it also puts another lock between me and Xiao Rang."
With his back straightened, Pei Ming turned and walked into the dark unit door.
After stepping up a few steps, his straight back suddenly collapsed, and all his strength was drained instantly, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his feet.
Every word that Mr. Ni said was like a knife, which cut him all over with cuts and bruises.
The phone in his pocket didn't dial out, and Gu Rang didn't hear a word in the car.
He won't take advantage of Gu Rang.
Gu Rang was the person he desperately wanted to guard, holding, offering, and watching from aloof.
Gu Rang was guarding the door, and when he heard Pei Ming's voice going upstairs, he hurried down: "What did my grandfather tell you?"
Pei Ming took his hand and pointed to the door of his house: "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Gu Rang followed him into the door worriedly: "Say! Did he force you to leave?"
Pei Ming nodded: "Yes, let me leave you."
Gu Rang pulled him angrily: "You agreed? You are not allowed to agree!"
Pei Ming took off his coat and hung it on the hanger casually: "Your grandfather is too stingy, and the price is too low. If he pays more, maybe I will agree."
Gu Rang stopped in front of him: "What did you say? You mustn't hide it from me!"
Pei Ming rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen: "He said he would give me 1 yuan to leave you, but I said no, 2 yuan, he might think it's not worth it, and our conversation fell apart."
Gu Rang was out of breath and slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't joke with me, tell the truth!"
Pei Ming turned around and smiled, "I'm still standing in front of you, isn't this the answer?"
Gu Rang didn't speak or move, he stood in front of him and stared at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to eat people?" Pei Ming said as he opened the refrigerator door casually, and asked him with a smile, "Are you really going to eat me? Then let's have something special today. You like chocolate flavor." The one is still strawberry flavored, I'll bring it to you."
Before Gu Rang could answer, Pei Ming put his arms around his waist, buried his head in his neck, and took a deep sniff: "Brother, do you want to have breakfast first or me first?"
"Eat your uncle!" Gu Rang grabbed Pei Ming by the collar and pulled him away: "Make breakfast, we have to go to the mall later."
Throughout the whole day, Gu Rang secretly observed Pei Ming's expression, and found nothing unusual, so he gradually felt relieved.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gu Rang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
The buildings in this area are very close to each other. Just after dawn, half-grown children began to jingle and set off firecrackers.
When he woke up, Pei Ming woke up too. Seeing that he hadn't slept enough, he reached out to help him cover his ears: "You are sleeping for a while."
Gu Rang shook his head, avoiding his hand, sat up straight in a daze, stared out of the window fiercely, and pushed Pei Ming for a while: "Go and take out the firecrackers we bought yesterday, I'll go to meet you." meet them!"
The two of them put on their clothes and went downstairs with firecrackers. There were a lot of children downstairs.
Several adults were worried and stood chatting and looked at the children.
Children play with small firecrackers, and the firecrackers used by older children like Gu Rang who are more than 200 months old are naturally bigger.
After a while, he had overwhelmingly taken away all the children, and it was actually time for breakfast.
Gu Rang waved to Pei Ming: "Go, go home."
As soon as he walked to the door of the unit, the cell phone in Gu Rang's pocket rang. It was Mrs. Gu calling: "Hey, Xiao Rang, you and Mingming clean up, I will pick you up later."
40. Spring Festival
◎You are not an outsider◎
Guessing that Gu Rang would shirk his refusal, Mrs. Gu hung up the phone before he could speak.
A phone call just now broke Gu Rang's good mood, and he went upstairs without making a sound when he entered the door.
Although Pei Ming didn't hear what Mrs. Gu said, he could guess the general idea.
When he was a child, Pei Ming hated New Year's Day very much.
The other children were accompanied by their parents, and the family enjoyed themselves happily, but he was alone, not to mention delicious food, and he didn't even have a warm meal. He was young at that time, and it would be a lie to say that he was not jealous.
Later, when he grew up and experienced many times, he became numb: "Brother, you go back."
Gu Rang turned to look at him, and even straightened his hair that was blown by the wind when he came downstairs just now. His tone sounded gentle, but the content didn't sound harmonious: "I said that I want to celebrate the festival with you. The New Year's Eve Yes, don't ask me to beat the child."
Just as Pei Ming was about to persuade him again, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Gu Rang's brows that had been stretched just now were frowned again.
Opening the door, Mrs. Gu stood at the door with a smile on her face: "Is it packed? Let's go."
"I'm not going back." Gu Rang left without saying a word.
"What kind of attitude, it's rude." Mrs. Gu entered the door with a handbag, and greeted Pei Ming with a smile: "Mingming, long time no see."
"Hello Auntie."
Mrs. Gu patted his arm and urged: "Mingming is obedient, go change clothes, let's go."
Gu Rang sat on the sofa with his arms folded, with an irritable expression on his face: "Mom, I've already told you, we won't go back, why are you here?"
Mrs. Gu threw her handbag directly on him: "It's not harming you to let you go back for the New Year! Hurry up!"
Pei Ming picked up Mrs. Gu's bag and put it away: "Auntie, let me persuade him."
But Mrs. Gu took his arm and pushed him into the bedroom: "Mingming doesn't need your persuasion, go and change quickly, if he won't go back, let's go, let him stay here by himself."
Pei Ming was pushed and walked two steps. Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, he froze and said, "Auntie... I won't go."
Mrs. Gu sighed: "Hey, why don't you two make up a couple, one is more disobedient than the other."
Glancing at Gu Rang, he raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder: "Get out of the way, I'll sit here!"
While rubbing his shoulders, Gu Rang reluctantly stepped aside. Mrs. Gu sat down and greeted Pei Ming: "Mingming, come and sit down too, and listen to what I have to say to you."
Pei Ming sat down in front of her and clasped his fingers, a little embarrassed: "Auntie, uncle's attitude towards me now is not suitable for me to go. Have a good Spring Festival and don't be affected because of me."
Mrs. Gu felt a little distressed when she heard what he said: "Why wouldn't it be suitable, Mingming, you and the little concubine have both received certificates, and we are already a family now, how can we not go home during the Chinese New Year?"
Pei Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Rang: "Brother, have you received the certificate?"
Mrs. Gu was eager to persuade them to go home, but she didn't notice that Pei Ming's tone was a bit wrong: "Yes, I have already received the certificates, of course I have to go back."
Pei Ming's gaze was still on Gu Rang: "Brother?!"
Gu Rang was a little guilty of being stared at by him, got up and took his hand: "Come with me!"
Thinking that they agreed to go back, Mrs. Gu immediately felt relieved: "I'll wait for you here."
Pulling Pei Ming into the bedroom, Gu Rang closed the door behind his back.
"Brother, what's the matter with getting the certificate?"
There is definitely no way to hide it. In fact, Gu Rang didn't want to lie to Pei Ming. Last time he celebrated his birthday in another place, he didn't get his household registration book, which delayed the chance to get the certificate.
This time, Gu Rang wanted to wait until his birthday to bring up this matter again, but Mrs. Gu did not expect to shake it out in advance.
"I want to prepare a birthday present for myself in advance, can't I?" Gu Rang took out the household registration booklet from the closet compartment and handed it to Pei Ming: "My mother sent it to me some time ago, she thought we had already received the certificate. gone."
Pei Ming's eyes were fixed on Gu Rang's face, his pupils were dark, and there were some floating lights hidden in his eyes.
After a while, I turned around and opened the closet: "Change your clothes, or Auntie will get angry again in a while."
Gu Rang stretched out his hand to hold his arm, still feeling uncomfortable: "You don't have to do this, I..."
"Brother, I don't find it difficult to go to your house for a holiday."
Seeing the two of them come out after changing their clothes, Mrs. Gu smiled happily: "Let's go."
Mrs. Gu was driving, and Gu Rang and Pei Ming sat in the back seat.
Along the way, Gu Rang held Pei Ming's hand all the time, and didn't let go for a moment.
The car parked in front of the Gu family's old house, Gu Rang was a little surprised: "Celebrate the New Year in the old house?"
Mrs. Gu unbuckled her seat belt: "Well, this year we are celebrating Chinese New Year in the old house, and your grandparents are also here."
Mr. Ni has only Mrs. Gu as his only daughter, and it is not uncommon for the two families to get together for the New Year.
Gu Rang squeezed Pei Ming's hand with some worry: "Are the others here too?"
Others were referring to the relatives of the Gu family. His grandmother gave birth to many children, with a total of four sons and two daughters. Every time they got together, there were at least dozens of people.
Gu Rang is most annoyed by such occasions, not to mention that Pei Ming is here this year, he is even more disgusted.
Mrs. Gu saw through his thoughts: "I'm here now, just to introduce Mingming to them formally.
Seeing that your face is so long, I'm here, what are you worried about, and it can make you suffer? "
Gu Rang still resisted: "My dad..."
"I said hello to your dad. He agreed to Mingming's coming."
In fact, what Mrs. Gu said was half true and half false. Gu Fengnian agreed to be true, but it was not voluntary.
Ever since Mrs. Gu agreed to help Gu Rang, she has made arrangements for Gu Fengnian overtly and secretly.
Especially regarding the matter of Gu Cheng, Mrs. Gu made it clear that if Gu Fengnian dared to hand over the group to Gu Cheng, then she would divorce Gu Fengnian. In her words: "I don't care who gets your part, but My share, how I want to control it, you have no right to intervene."
Gu Fengnian was devastated by the trouble on her side, and Gu Cheng was not at ease on his side. Not to mention all the business deals he was in charge of were taken away by TN, and even got into a fight in the police station.
What upset Gu Fengnian the most was that he recently found out that the number that Gu Cheng called in that secret call was the number of the business department of TN Company.
He was caught in a dilemma, so he put his mind on Hou Rang again, and specially invited his father-in-law, Mr. Ni, to come out in person.
But the result was very unsatisfactory. Not only did Pei Ming not persuade him to leave, but Mr. Ni got angry when he came back and scolded him bloody. When we met this morning, he ignored him.
So, when Mrs. Gu went to pick up Gu Rang and Pei Ming, he didn't stop him, as he tacitly agreed that they would come back for the New Year.
Gu Rang and Pei Ming got out of the car one after another, followed Mrs. Gu into the door.
The front hall was very lively, besides Gu Fengnian's family, Gu Rang's uncle, uncle and two aunts were also there.
Gu Fengnian was in charge of the Gu family, and others either sought jobs under him, or took advantage of the Gu family's shadow. Gu Fengnian was surrounded by brothers and nephews and chatted.
When Mrs. Gu entered the door, everyone looked over. They were obviously surprised to see Gu Rang and Pei Ming.
Gu Rang's relatives knew about the quarrel between Pei Ming and his family, and when they saw Pei Ming again, they all wanted to explore.
Among the expressions of the crowd, Gu Fengshi and Gu Cheng's father and son had the ugliest expressions.
Mrs. Gu has always loved Pei Ming very much. Gu Fengnian was pretending at the time, but she was sincere.
Thinking that after the two of them got the marriage certificate, compared with before, they would be worse than before. Holding Pei Ming's arm, they were closer than their own son: "Let me introduce you, Pei Ming, Xiao Rang's partner."
Gu Fengshi looked at his younger brother's face, and found that Gu Fengnian didn't react much, and couldn't hold back anymore. He was the first to ask, "Why did you bring an outsider back when your family was reunited during the Chinese New Year?"
Gu Rang curled his hands hanging by his side into a ball, staring at Gu Fengshi sharply, his face was gloomy and frightening.
Mrs. Gu who was at the side hurriedly pushed him to Pei Ming's side, signaling Pei Ming to keep an eye on him.
Pei Ming took Gu Rang's hand, and gently stroked his back with the other hand, softly comforting him in his ear: "Brother, I'm fine."
Seeing Gu Rang like this, Gu Fengshi put on the airs of an elder: "Why is Xiao Rang still angry? What did I say wrong? He is an outsider."
Mrs. Gu took off her coat casually and handed it to the aunt beside her, without looking at him, she said casually: "Brother, what you said is wrong, why is Mingming an outsider, he is Xiao Rang's object, naturally and Xiao Rang Same, all my sons, one family.
If you are serious about the distance, you are the outsider, big brother, and outsiders should not meddle in our family's affairs.Take care of your own family affairs when you have time, and don't always think about putting your son in someone else's house. "
What she said was like a direct slap to Gu Fengshi's face. He was speechless, and the people around him didn't dare to hit the gun.
Gu Fengnian was drinking tea from a cup, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two.
Mrs. Gu is afraid of only one person in her life, and that is her father, Gu Rang's grandfather.
It's a pity that he is on the second floor now, so no one in this set can shock her.
Mrs. Gu held Pei Ming with one arm, and Gu Rang with the other: "Go, go to the second floor to say hello to grandma and grandparents, and go ask for red envelopes."
When they came to the second floor, Mrs. Gu was not in a hurry to meet the old people, but stopped and looked at Gu Rang and Pei Ming.
Smooth out the wrinkles on Pei Ming's clothes: "Mingming, don't take what they say to heart. People who don't matter don't deserve to be cared about."
Although Mrs. Gu usually treats Gu Rang carelessly, she loves him sincerely, and she loves Pei Ming deeply.
Knowing that her son has identified the boy in front of her, she also tried her best to protect it.
Pei Ming lowered his eyelids slightly to look at her, half covered his thick eyelashes, covering most of the emotions in his eyes, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, being favored and defended by his mother, isn't that the feeling?
After taking two steps, Mrs. Gu stopped and told them both: "Remember, you two, go in later to please your grandma and grandma, and don't care about your grandpa's face."
41. Interrogation
◎What can he do, he can only confuse the water...◎
Although Mrs. Gu said so, Gu Rang was still thinking secretly, such a stubborn old man, can he be ignored just by ignoring it?
As soon as he and Pei Ming walked to the door of the small hall, they heard grandma's voice: "Xiao Ru is really serious, she said to pick up and let her go, why hasn't she come back yet, she is always dawdling."
Mrs. Gu pushed the door open with a smile and walked in: "I'm back now, can your grandson run away!"
"Hello, grandma, grandpa and grandma!" Gu Rang took Pei Ming's hand and walked up to the three old people, and Pei Ming followed him to say hello.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Ni smiled kindly and waved at Pei Ming: "Mingming is here too, okay! Sit down."
Old Mr. Ni was sullen, cleared his throat, and then turned his head to the other side.
Seeing this, Gu Rang exchanged glances with Mrs. Gu, pressed Pei Ming's shoulders, let him sit on the sofa, and sat on the armrest beside him.
Before the two of them sat still, Mrs. Gu beckoned to the aunt at home: "Go and get all the snacks and drinks I prepared, and put them here!"
"Ahem!" Old Mr. Ni cleared his throat in a strange tone.
Gu Rang's face became a little ugly, and when he was about to speak, Mrs. Gu blocked him and stuffed a bunch of snacks into the hands of each of him and Pei Ming, and thoughtfully tore open beef jerky and stuffed them in Pei Ming's hands: "Mingming, This is delicious, I went to choose it with my grandmother."
The old lady Gu looked at him with a smile in her eyes, as if coaxing a child: "Try it quickly, see if you like it?"
Mrs. Gu is always like this. When she meets a junior she likes, she coaxes and pampers her. She is satisfied with what they do. When she meets a child she doesn't like, she just gets annoyed by talking too much.
Pei Ming took the beef jerky, but she still felt that it wasn't enough, and pointed to the juice next to her, motioning to Mrs. Gu: "Xiao Ru, open this one for the child, and others, open them all, pick and eat, and eat whichever you like. .”
Madam Ni looked at Gu Rang, loving her with all her heart and eyes: "Xiao Rang, why don't you eat?"
Gu Rang glanced at his grandfather, and Mr. Ni was also looking at him, and he cleared his throat for the third time.
Madam Ni finally couldn't take it anymore, and pushed him with disgust: "Ahem, cough, is it annoying? Go downstairs and chat with Fengnian, don't sit here."
Mr. Ni gave Gu Rang a cold look: "Xiao Rang, come with me." He got up and walked out the door.
Gu Rang got up and planned to go out, but was stopped by Mrs. Ni: "Xiao Rang just entered the door, and I haven't said a few words yet, what did you ask him to do!"
Old Mr. Ni turned his head with his hands behind his back, held back for a long time and said, "Can't I play chess with him?"
Mrs. Ni pressed Gu Rang's arm to keep him from moving: "What kind of chess are you playing? If Rang doesn't like to play chess, you can go find Feng Nian and let him play with you." Then she looked at Gu Rang: "Let's not go .”
Mrs. Gu suppressed her smile and walked over to hold Mr. Ni's arm: "Dad, let's go. I'll call Fengnian for you and let him play chess with you."
After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether Mr. Ni was willing or not, he dragged him to the door.
The hall was finally clear, and the two old men turned their attention to Gu Rang and Pei Ming: "There were so many people at the birthday party last time, I didn't have time to say a few words to Mingming. Mingming, you and Rang Rang are classmates. Right."
Pei Ming sat with his back straight and nodded cautiously: "Well, my brother and I... Xiao Rang and I are classmates."
"Hello classmate, we understand each other, and we can take care of each other with Rang Rang. He is playful, so please take care of him and don't mess around with him."
After Mr. Ni left, Gu Rang stopped being tense and relaxed, "Why would Ah Ming mess around with me? He is a good boy, and he even won the first prize in a national competition not long ago."
Hearing what he said, the two old people were even more delighted: "Hey, that's really rare!"
The grandparents and grandchildren chatted happily with each other.
Gu Rang didn't miss any chance to praise Pei Ming. The two old people were satisfied and happy to hear that, and their impression of Pei Ming was even better.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Gu held Pei Ming's hand and did not let go: "You and Rang Rang sit with me, don't go to other tables, they want to drink later, let's not mix with them."
When Gu Rang and Pei Ming helped the two elderly people go downstairs, the restaurant downstairs had already set up wine and food.
Seeing Mrs. Gu affectionately pulling Pei Ming into a seat, some people's expressions immediately changed.
Gu Rang's two aunts looked at their children, their words were sour, and they whispered to the side: "The old lady is so confused, she is not so close to her grandchildren, but she likes an outsider very much." Let go."
"Hmph, who knows what's going on in her heart. In the morning, Xiaocheng went to pay a New Year's call, and she sent it without saying a word. Now it's good, and she chatted with her for a whole day."
Gu Fengnian and Mr. Ni's faces were also not very good. They gave each other winks, but neither of them said anything.
Everyone got together with their own concerns and had a New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, they are old and their energy is limited. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Ni are ready to rest after dinner. Before going upstairs, they remind Gu Rang and Pei Ming not to leave in a hurry.
Gu Rang and Pei Ming couldn't escape it, and decided to stay for the night and leave after breakfast tomorrow.
The two old men left, Mr. Ni and Gu Fengnian finally seized the opportunity, and the two began to exchange glances again.
In the end, the son-in-law was still unable to persuade his father-in-law, so he spoke first: "Gu Rang! Come here, I have something to talk to you about your grandfather."
Mrs. Gu stopped her intentionally, but Mr. Ni gave her a stare back.
What should come always comes, Gu Rang didn't plan to hide, got up happily, and followed the two into the study on the first floor.
The study room was no different from the interrogation room, the joyous atmosphere was completely blocked by the door panels, and the air became cold and stiff.
Gu Fengnian and Mr. Ni put aside yesterday's unhappiness for the time being, they united front and decided to unanimously target Gu Rang.
After exchanging glances, it was Gu Fengnian who spoke first: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Both of their actions were seen by Gu Rang. In fact, at the dinner table, Gu Rang had been secretly observing the two of them, trying to learn some tricks.
He pretended to think for a while: "Me? I just want to graduate well, work hard, and live well."
Mr. Ni's brows were immediately frowned, and he sighed bitterly: "Your father is asking what you think about the matter with Pei Ming. For him, you don't want the Gu family? You don't care about the Ni family." gone?"
Gu Rang felt a little wronged when he heard it: "It's because I don't want it, it's because you don't give it.
Didn't my dad already train my cousin as his successor?Grandpa, you should also find a successor for yourself as soon as possible, train him as soon as possible, and don't find him when the time comes. "
Gu Fengnian slammed the cup on the coffee table with a bang: "Listen to what you said! Your grandfather is still in good health, what nonsense are you talking about?"
This small scene did not scare Gu Rang at all: "No matter how strong my grandfather is, he is not as young as you. You are already looking for a successor, so why are you stopping my grandfather from looking for it? You don't mean to do it for me? Also cultivate to be the successor of the Ni family?"
Gu Fengnian didn't expect him to bite back, he was at a loss for words, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "When will I stop your grandfather from finding the company's successor!"
Gu Rang nodded in agreement: "It's best if you don't think so. After all, your vision is really bad. Don't make decisions for my grandfather."
Old Mr. Ni snorted: "You are right, your dad's vision is really bad! That Gu Cheng, who is rich in gold and jade in the outside, is corrupt in the inside, so your dad can choose him. If it were me, I would rather Let that boy Pei Ming take the company away, and he will definitely not give up the power to Gu Cheng."
Mr. Ni's words obviously aroused the smell of gunpowder. Gu Fengnian was squeezed out by the two people, and he was full of dissatisfaction: "Dad, you can't say that, don't you also object to Xiao Rang and Pei Ming being together?"
Mentioning Gu Cheng, Mr. Ni was furious and his eyes widened, "I object to them being together, but I don't agree with you finding an idiot to be the successor of the Gu family! Pass it on to Gu Cheng, the Ni family will definitely draw a line with you.
Not only will I draw a clear line, but I will also cut off all cooperation! "
The Gu family and the Ni family have coexisted for many years, and their industries have long been inseparable, but Mr. Ni's words are a bit serious.
So Gu Fengnian couldn't hold back his anger: "Dad, what you said was too ill-considered. Withdrawing from the Gu family will hurt the vitality of the Ni family."
Gu Rang observed secretly from the side, and saw the needles: "Dad, you didn't think about what you said. How could you threaten my grandfather? You forgot who spared no effort to support Gu's back then? I can't see my grandfather is getting old. It is not right for you to take Joe as a stand-up, but instead put him in the old man's army!"
Gu Rang's words favored the Ni family, and Mr. Ni listened very pleasantly: "No matter what, it's my grandson, my own family, and I will still think of the Ni family no matter what!
Unlike some people, I have been supporting my son for so many years, but unexpectedly, I am still an outsider. "
"Dad!" Gu Fengnian was so angry that his tone changed: "Dad, how can I be an outsider, Gu Ni is originally from the same family!"
Gu Rang poured a cup of tea for Mr. Ni, and continued to stir up the water: "Grandpa, drink some tea to quench your thirst. What my dad said makes sense. Gu Ni is a family, so Gu Cheng is also your half-grandson. Ni It's not impossible to hand over the family property to him."
After hearing what he said, Mr. Gu dropped the cup before he put the tea to his mouth: "Half a grandson! Is he worthy! Only your father can take a fancy to him, if it were me, half a hair would be worthless!" I can't look down on it!"
After being splashed with tea, Gu Fengnian patted his pants irritably, and said angrily, "I chose Gu Cheng, and you forced me to do so. It's not that you said that Pei Ming's intentions were not right, and Xiao Rang couldn't let Xiao Rang continue with him." If Xiao Rang does not agree to separate from him, then..."
Old Mr. Ni looked at Gu Rang while listening, and saw that his complexion was not good. Then he remembered that Gu Rang had heard what he said in the car with Pei Ming yesterday. It got deeper and deeper: "Shut up! Xiao Rang, you go out first, and I will talk to your dad alone."
Gu Rang responded and walked out of the study, where the two were still arguing.
As soon as he came to the steps, he met Gu Cheng with furtive eyes.
When Gu Rang turned obedient, he changed into an angry look: "What are you looking at, have you ever seen being scolded?"
He spoke rudely, but Gu Cheng still spoke to him in a good voice: "Xiao Rang, calm down, uncle is also worried for you."
Gu Rang still didn't give him a good face: "I'm so old, but still scolding and throwing glasses at me, I can't stay in this family anymore!"
As he was about to leave, Gu Cheng hurriedly stopped him by taking a wrong step: "Don't leave, I'll go and persuade uncle for you."

◎He felt like he had never lived◎
Before Gu Cheng had gone far, Pei Ming had already stood behind Gu Rang, and followed him to look at Gu Cheng's back, until Gu Cheng walked into the study, he said softly: "I'm sorry, but you were also banned because I was a senior. scold."
Gu Rang turned sideways, looked him up and down for a while, and squeezed his arm: "Don't be sentimental, I got scolded by my own strength, and I didn't get scolded tonight, it was my dad and I Grandpa got into a fight."
Pei Ming choked for a moment, and his expression became inexplicably dark.
Gu Rang glanced at the other relatives who were still chatting. Those who played cards, chatted, and trained their children were all busy and noisy.
His brows were unconsciously drawn together, and he pulled him up to the second floor, afraid that he would think too much, and said a few more words: "You think I won't be scolded without you? The scolding was even worse before." The original owner stayed behind. In my memory, from childhood to adulthood, there are many parts that have been trained.
In the past, the reasons for being scolded were scattered, such as not studying hard, drinking and drinking, causing trouble and fighting, and not being self-motivated.
Especially for Mr. Ni, the meeting is either a lecture or a reprimand.This is also the reason why he still seldom interacts with the Ni family even though his grandmother is very kind to him.
Pei Ming silently followed behind him, his gaze resting on Gu Rang's slender shoulders, the color of his pupils gradually deepened, and complex emotions gradually grew in his heart.
What Mr. Ni said to him that day flashed through his mind, 'Are you worthy of him? ''What can you bring him? '
Gu Rang walked ahead, not paying attention to Pei Mingsu's eyes, and yawned lazily: "I'm tired, let's go to the room to lie down and eat dumplings later."
None of the three elderly people showed up for this meal. They are too old to eat too late.
A group of juniors gathered around the dining table, but the atmosphere that should have been lively was inexplicably lowered a few degrees.
Especially Gu Cheng's face was the ugliest, he didn't sit next to Gu Fengnian for the first time, and hid quietly at another table.
Gu Fengnian came out of the study with a straight face. He has always been the center of the Gu family, he is not happy, and the others dare not show their emotions too much.
Gu Rang had no appetite, so he ate two dumplings symbolically and went back to his room.
New Year's Eve just passed by.
After breakfast on the morning of the first day of the new year, Mrs. Gu still didn't want to let them go.
But Gu Rang could see that Pei Ming's expression had been tense and uncomfortable, so he insisted on leaving.
Before getting into the car, the old lady Gu looked at the snacks and fruits stuffed into the car, she was still a little unwilling, and complained to Gu Fengnian: "Why don't you send a bigger car to give it away, I still have a lot of things left for him .”
Back at the rental house, Gu Rang, Pei Ming and the driver barely carried their things upstairs.
Gu Rang was leaning on the sofa tiredly, looking at the pile of snacks, not knowing how long it would take to eat: "A Ming, let's open a snack shop, and when the items are sold out, go to my grandmother's to pick them up. There is no cost, and how much you sell is net profit.”
Pei Ming was washing everything in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up. The sound of the water was too loud, so he didn't hear Gu Rang's words.
Gu Rang waited for a long time without getting an answer, turned his head and asked him: "What are you doing? It's still early for lunch! Besides, don't do it, let's go out to eat."
Pei Ming put the shredded ginger into the pot, and added red dates and rock sugar: "Brother
