I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36 Gu Family’s Third Child?]

Gu Xi followed Old Man Gu downstairs.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw a girl walking to the top of the stairs, pretending to go upstairs, until she saw the old man coming down, and the other party stopped.

Gu Xi looked at the other party, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

– Gu Xueer?

If she remembered correctly, it was her name.

Gu Xi recalled: this person was Gu Xueer, who led the team from the group Gu Xi and Dong Mingming came out of the library that day, and the other party even took them to take a picture on the photo wall.

Just seeing Gu Xue’er at Gu’s house made Gu Xi a little surprised.

——When

Gu Xueer on the other side saw Gu Xi, she was also a little stunned.

And he quickly thought of Gu Xi—the girl he saw at school that day.

At that time, because the girl was very beautiful, Gu Xue’er had a little more impression of Gu Xi.

Later, Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao helped this girl canvass votes in the circle of friends.

At that time, Gu Xueer still thought it was strange, why did those two people help Gu Xi canvassing votes, did they know each other?

“Grandpa, is this a guest from the house today?” Suppressing a trace of scruples in her heart, Gu Xue’er blinked and asked Old Man Gu with a sincere look on her face.

“It’s not a guest.” The old man said straight to the point, and then said, “This is your second uncle’s daughter.”

“Xixi lived with her mother before, but now she’s back,” the old man said.

He gave an explanation to Gu Xi’s appearance, but didn’t say too much about Gu Xi’s previous situation in the Lin family, or what happened back then.

This is a kind of protection from the old man to Gu Xi.

Hearing the old man’s explanation, Gu Xue’er was surprised for a while: Er Uncle has been alone for so many years, and no one has heard of Er Uncle’s past marriage experience or relationship history, why did he suddenly have a child?

私生子吗？还是什么意外冒出来的孩子？也不知道真的假的……

顾雪儿在心里暗想到，只是很快便掩饰掉了脸上的惊讶。

还不等顾老爷子向顾惜介绍她, 顾雪儿便已经朝着顾惜投去了一个非常热情的笑容。

“惜惜你好, 我叫顾雪儿, 很高兴认识你。”顾雪儿主动对顾惜说道。

“之前我们在学校里见过, 你还有印象吗？”顾雪儿问道，并不掩饰两人之前在学校见过这件事，也丝毫没有因为那件事而显得有半点的尴尬。

“有印象。”顾惜点点头。

顾雪儿脸上的笑容又扩大了几分，继续道：“之前见到你第一眼的时候我就感觉有点眼熟，没想到咱们居然这么有缘，还是一家人。”

——怪不得顾辰逸和顾炎萧会帮顾惜拉票，看来他们应该早就知道顾惜的事情了。

顾雪儿在心里暗想到。

又看向顾惜，道：“我应该比你大一点，你叫我雪儿姐就好了。”

顾惜又点了点头，叫了对方一声，算是打了招呼。

顾雪儿说表现出来的亲和力以及友好，就像是之前在学校的时候一样，让人挑不出什么不对的地方。

只是，顾惜却有些奇怪。

看样子顾雪儿应该也是顾家的人，可是之前她从没有听顾辰逸他们提起过，就连当初顾邵跟她介绍顾家人员组成的时候，也只说了大伯小叔家以及三个小子。

顾惜下意识地朝客厅的方向看过去。发现客厅里除了顾邵、顾轩之外，还多了一个人。

此时，顾邵和顾轩坐在沙发一边，而那个身着深灰色西装的男人则坐在二人对面的沙发上。

The three are chatting.

There was nothing wrong with her expression, but Gu Xi faintly felt that the atmosphere over there was indescribably weird.

Although it was just a normal conversation, and there was nothing special about hearing the content of the conversation vaguely, the three people sitting together didn’t feel like a chat, but more like a game.

——At

this time, the other party looked over, saw the old man, the man nodded towards Gu Shao and Gu Xuan, then got up and walked towards this side.

Walking to the old man Gu and standing still, the man shouted at the old man: “Dad.”

By the way, he glanced at Gu Xi next to the old man.

This glance made Gu Xi shudder inexplicably.

The man in front of him looked about the same age as Gu Shao and Gu Xuan, with gentle facial features and a humble smile, but there was a coldness behind this smile.

This kind of coldness is completely different from Gu Shao’s coldness, and the high coldness of the other Gu family when they don’t speak – it doesn’t make people feel that something is wrong, but it just feels cold on the back.

“Come on.” The old man responded.

“I ran into a little trouble and delayed for a while. Dad specially asked someone to bring some ginseng from country A, and I asked Butler Zhou to take it.” Gu Yaobai said.

The old man nodded: “It’s good to deal with it.”

Apart from this sentence, the old man Gu didn’t make any more comments.

Gu Xi secretly glanced at the old man Gu’s face, and found that the old man’s face was no longer the kind smile that he had before, although there was a little bit of disobedience.

At this time, the old man Gu didn’t have much expression on his face, as if this was the serious and calm look he should have.

“Everyone is here, then let’s go and eat.” Old Man Gu said.

The tone sounds okay, nothing special about it.

When Mr. Gu said something, everyone in the family naturally moved.

Gu Yaobai and Gu Xueer also followed the old man towards the restaurant.

——At

this time, Aunt Mei came over.

She helped in the kitchen before, and after she was done, she went back to the room where she lived and changed into clothes that did not smell of oily smoke.

Seeing Gu Yaobai over there, Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment: “The third young master is here too.”

After muttering, Aunt Mei saw that Gu Xi was not in the situation, and wondered if the old gentleman forgot to introduce, so she walked over to Gu Xi introduced in a low voice, “That’s the third child of the Gu family, you have to be called ‘Uncle San’, and next to him is the daughter of your third uncle, who is one year older than you.”

Hearing Aunt Mei’s introduction, Gu Xi not only didn’t feel it suddenly Cheerful, but more suspicious.

——Gu Shao is the second child of the Gu family, and his uncle is the fourth child. The two are so close together that they are less than two years apart. How did they add a third child in the middle?

Without waiting for Gu Xi to think about it, after the old man in front of Gu took two steps, he felt something was wrong, only to realize that his granddaughter was not following, so he stopped and called Gu Xi back.

“Xixi go, I went to have dinner with grandpa.”

When old man Gu spoke to Gu Xi, his tone naturally became kind, and the expression on his face also became kind at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Okay.” Gu Xisan followed in two steps.

Seeing Gu Shao coming over, Gu Xi moved to Gu Shao’s side without a trace.

Looking down at Gu Xi who was walking beside him, a smile flashed in Gu Shao’s eyes – fortunately, he forgot his father before he got to Gu’s house.

Several people entered the restaurant together.

The restaurant in the main house of the Gu family, like the other rooms, is very large.

In the center of the restaurant is a large round table. At this time, dishes have been prepared on the table. At first glance, almost half of the dishes are sweet and sour.

Gu Xi had heard from Aunt Mei before that the whole Gu family’s eating habits were more inclined to sweets, except for Gu Shao.

“Let’s all sit.” Old Man Gu took the seat first, and then opened his mouth to the others.

Although the Gu family usually does not pay attention to these things, and some of the boys are often neither big nor small, but during the festivals, they still have to pay attention to them.

Gu Xi originally thought that the uncle and his elders should be seated next.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shao was the second person to be seated.

What made Gu Xi even more puzzled was that Gu Shao was not sitting on the left hand side of the old man, but he sat directly opposite the old man.

Gu Xi looked puzzled.

At this moment, Gu Chenyi whispered in Gu Xi’s ear, “Do you think it’s strange?” Gu

Xi nodded.

Gu Chenyi smiled again, and explained, “This order is correct, because the second uncle is the head of the Gu family.”

“Ah?!” Gu Xi was taken aback and glanced at Gu Chenyi in surprise, she really didn’t know this.

Then why didn’t Gu Shao live here at Gu’s house?

It seems that Dad and Grandpa don’t seem to have any estrangement.

Gu Xi thought secretly in her heart.

–

The rest of the people don’t really care.

Gu Xi took a look, and finally sat next to Gu Shao.

On the opposite side, Mr. Gu, who originally wanted his baby granddaughter to sit with him, saw this, and was sad in his heart for a long time.

However, he was afraid that Gu Xi would not feel comfortable eating at home on the first day, so the old man did not force Gu Xi to leave Gu Shao and come to sit with him.

“I’ll sit with Xi and my sister.” Gu Chenyi moved the fastest, grabbing the seat next to Gu Xi, while Gu Yanxiao and Gu Yanlin sat next to each other in turn.

Gu Xue’er was originally going to sit here, but when she came over, she found that there was no place left, and she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed standing there.

However, Gu Xue’er quickly smiled indifferently, eased the embarrassment, walked over, and sat in the seat opposite Gu Xi.

Gu Xue’er didn’t let herself be indifferent, she looked at Gu Xi and asked curiously, “Xi Xi, did you just transfer to the attached middle school?”

“Yes.” Gu Xi nodded.

Gu Xue’er smiled: “No wonder, I didn’t see you at school before.” After

that, Gu Xue’er asked again with concern, “Then you are adapting to the new school?”

“It’s okay. “Gu Xi replied.

“That’s good,” Gu Xue’er said enthusiastically: “I’m in Class 6 of the third grade. If you encounter anything at school, you can come to my class to find me.”

Gu Xue’er just finished speaking, Gu Xi Just as she was about to express her gratitude politely, she heard Gu Chenyi whispering, “I still need you.”

Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi and was also very puzzled: Since Gu Xueer is also from the Gu family, why did she not hear them mention it before? After this third uncle and Gu Xueer.

Seeing Gu Xi’s puzzlement, Gu Chenyi whispered, “Tell you in the group.”

Not only was Gu Xi dragged into a group of ‘happy family’, ‘amusing family’… just now by these people, A few other people also created a small group: [Gu Family Four Handsome and Beautiful Base]

This group name Gu Xi didn’t want to complain, and I felt that only the [Decisive Battle at the Top of the Sky] on another app could compete.

[Gu Xueer didn’t grow up in the Gu family, we don’t actually know her very well.

】 Gu Chenyi said in the group.

Then, Gu Yanxiao also added: [And she can’t be regarded as the Gu family.

】

Gu Xi: ?

In the end, it was Gu Yanlin who explained it to Gu Xi in more detail: [The third uncle is not the grandfather’s child, but the child of the old acquaintance adopted by the Gu family. The third uncle moved out of the Gu family more than ten years ago. Just get together for the holidays.

Therefore, everyone and Gu Xue’er didn’t interact much.

】

Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi don’t know much about the third uncle’s family, Gu Yanlin knew it from his father at the beginning.

——The relationship between grandpa and grandma has always been very good. At that time, grandma was pregnant with fourth uncle. One day, a woman named Yang Wanni came to the door and brought a child less than one year old.

This Yang Wanni was a nurse at Mr. Gu’s camp at the time, but she disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she gave birth to a child.

Yang Wanni insisted that Gu Qinghua had sex with her while she was asleep on duty, which caused her to become pregnant.

There was no surveillance in the ward at that time, and Mr. Gu was indeed recuperating in the ward where Yang Wanni was on duty.

Although Yang Wanni is not a lady, she still looks like a little girl, plus she is usually docile, giving the impression that she is always a good girl.

So after the news of this incident spread, most people believed Yang Wanni’s words, and Mr. Gu was speechless for a while.

At that time, the paternity test was not so easy. It took Gu Qinghua a lot of effort to prove that the child was not his, and he didn’t do anything bad to Yang Wanni.

It’s a pity that the woman died before Gu Qinghua could find Yang Wanni. It is said that Yang Wanni was already ill and would die soon.

The child was thrown at the Gu family.

Out of sympathy, after discussion between Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, they adopted the child, who is now the third child of the Gu family.

So in fact, Gu Yaobai and Gu Shao are about the same age.

Later, he may have grown up slowly, and he also learned about his life experience from some people around him, and Gu Yaobai gradually left the Gu family.

…

After reading Gu Yanlin’s explanation, Gu Xi finally understood and nodded: That’s right.

——In

the main seat, looking at the four bow-headed clans in his family, and not knowing what they were playing, the old man raised his face and coughed with a serious expression: “Eat well when you eat! Holding mobile phones one by one, they want to be Immortals?”

Hearing the old man’s words, the four Gu Xi put away their mobile phones almost in sync, and then looked at the old man with the same ‘well-behaved and sensible’ face.

Looking at his eldest grandchildren and good granddaughters, the old man Gu felt in a good mood for a while, and the seriousness on his face could no longer be tense.

“Okay, okay, let’s eat.”

Old Man Gu said, and everyone moved their chopsticks.

Gu Xi was still digging into the rice as always, very quiet.

However, Gu Shao, who felt too ‘quiet’ next to him, looked down at Gu Xi, and then frowned.

Gu Shao had noticed before that Gu Xi’s state of eating was not right – this may have been a habit formed in the Lin family. When it comes to the rice in the bowl, I rarely reach out to pick up the dishes on the table. I eat whatever is in the bowl. Occasionally I go to the nearest dish in front of me, but the movements are very light.

Gu Xi was like this when he was brought home by Gu Shao, but he finally got better. Gu Xi would talk to him on the table, and he would also go to pick up dishes by himself.

As a result, now that there are more people, Gu Xi unconsciously returns to the state of the past.

…

Actually, Gu Xi didn’t realize this, she knew that a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs appeared in the bowl.

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that Gu Shao had prepared the dishes for her.

“Don’t patronize the meal.” Gu Shao reminded.

“Okay.” Gu Xi nodded blankly, and smiled at Gu Shao Zhanyan again.

Gu Xi ate the sweet and sour pork ribs: as soon as she ate it, she knew it was Aunt Mei’s craft, but I don’t know if it was an illusion, Gu Xi felt that the sweet and sour pork ribs this time were better than the ones that Aunt Mei made before.

“Clip what you like.” Gu Shao reminded again.

“Oh.”

As a result, before Gu Xi could move her chopsticks, there was already a plate of pumpkin shortcake in front of her.

Not one, but a whole plate.

It was Gu Yanlin who brought the pumpkin shortbread to Gu Xi: “Xi Xi, you should like this one.”

Before Gu Yanlin’s voice fell, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi were not to be outdone and brought what Gu Xi liked. come before her.

“You must like this glutinous rice dumpling.”

“That one is too dry, this cheesecake is amazing.”

…

So, in the blink of an eye, a mountain was piled up in front of Gu Xi.

Looking at the three pairs of bright eyes next to her, Gu Xi silently retracted her gaze.

Kindness is difficult.

But she can’t eat it!

“Delicious.” Gu Xi said to the three of them with a pumpkin shortcake in the bowl, a glutinous rice dumpling on his chopsticks, and a bite of cheesecake in his mouth.

Finally, after waiting for a few people to look away, Gu Xicai quietly pushed the plates of dim sum in front of Gu Chenyi.

“It’s really delicious, you can eat it.”

“Hey, good.” As expected, Xixi still has the best relationship with him.

As a result, before Gu Chenyi froze for a few seconds, he was caught by the opposite Gu Xuan.

“Xixi you eat your food, don’t worry about him, this guy can’t be hungry.” Gu Xuan said, obviously a misunderstanding.

And the old man Gu in the main seat also echoed: “Yes, there is no need to give them a few. If Xixi wants to eat, Grandpa will let the kitchen do it.” Gu

Xi: “…” No, she just can’t eat it. ,real.

Seeing the well-behaved appearance of his granddaughter, Old Man Gu had something in his heart for a while.

——Old man

Gu’s gaze passed Gu Yaobai, and he asked, “Yaobai, how are you doing?”

Hearing the old man calling Gu Yaobai, no one else responded, but the soup spoon in Gu Xi’s hand fell into the bowl. inside.

“What’s wrong?” A few people next to him looked over nervously.

“It’s nothing, my hand slipped a bit.” Gu Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, causing a moment of horror in his eyes.

When calm was restored, Gu Xi pulled Gu Chenyi’s clothes under the table.

“What do you want to eat, I’ll get it for you.”

“No.” Gu Xi shook his head, motioned for Gu Chenyi to come over, and then asked in a two-person voice, “What did Grandpa call Third Uncle just now?”

“Oh, Gu Yaobai. , Third Uncle’s name,” Gu Chenyi thought Gu Xi was wondering why Third Uncle’s name was different from other people’s, and explained, “Third Uncle’s name should have been given by his biological mother before, so it is different from our father.”

“Brilliant Yao, white white?”

Gu Chenyi thought about it and nodded.

But he didn’t notice Gu Xi’s gradually solidified expression.

——In the novel, there is also a person with this name, but it is not Gu Yaobai, but Xie Yaobai.
