Chapter 248 The so-called big family
Seeing that Gu Ziyan had something to do, Zhao Fan counted the rice in the bowl one by one and thought for a while. Zhao Fan looked at her and said: What should I do if the Gu family members attacked me?"
This is a very realistic problem. Since someone intercepted and killed it on the highway, Gu Ziyan’s so-called confidentiality is naturally a joke. Now Zhao Fan has no intention of blaming her.
Gu Ziyan gently put down the bowl, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If my grandfather's body can recover, all of them will have to pay the price they deserve!"
Then she smiled self-deprecatingly again, looked at Zhao Fan sincerely and said, "But if you can't cure my grandfather's illness, I'm afraid I will not be able to save myself. So you have to grasp this measure yourself. You don't need to think about me. As the children of the Gu family, one day I will face these things. Apart from curing my grandfather, it is also my greatest wish to not involve you."
"What exactly is the Gu family doing? Are you fighting for now the so-called head of the family? For a family, isn't it true that who has a higher position and who has a stronger strength? Do you naturally have more say? Do you still need to fight to the death like this?"
Zhao Fan didn't understand these things, and he couldn't eat them anyway, so he simply put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked in confusion.
"Many of these aristocratic families in the capital have been passed down from countless dynasties to the present, with a profound foundation, so how can they have any absolute status? Take our Gu family for example. My grandfather followed Taizu to fight the world and accumulated strong capital. After decades of development, the Gu family is now at the top of the pyramid in the military, politics, and business circles. Which of my uncles, including my father, is not a person who stands alone?"
"But the Gu family has continued for so many years and has also realized the so-called fundamentals of survival. They feel that only with enough power can a family continue to be strong."
"My grandfather has made many arrangements for his heirs over the years. Once he falls down, these things will fall into the hands of the next generation of the Gu family."
"If I guess well, my grandfather left behind a powerful political capital. His old friends are all involved in the Gu family's prosperity and losses. They will not watch the Gu family fall down because of his death. With this capital, they will be able to rise to the top in politics. Once they have strong rights, what else can't be obtained?"
"When he was in good health, my uncles lived in harmony. Since he fell ill, the atmosphere at home has long since changed his condition."
"Grandpa actually understands it very well, so he has basically not contacted me for more than a year and rarely mentioned me. He is trying to protect me and does not want me to attract the attention of those uncles."
"But he always calls my name when he is sleeping these days. He may really be unable to do it."
Gu Ziyan looked out the window with a leisurely look, and she spoke some secrets of the big family in a calm tone. When she mentioned her grandfather's condition, her eyes turned red without realizing it, and tears fell down again.
"Okay, since you have decided, if nothing happens this afternoon, I will accompany you to see it! The longer the delay, the more prepared the other party will be, and it will be more troublesome."
Zhao Fan took a tissue and handed it to her, nodding gently.
Although he did not participate in Mu Qingya's dinner, he had the technique of exploring and probably knew what they said.
Today's meeting was just a brief mutual understanding. Both sides tried it briefly and did not go into a deep conversation. Moreover, although the Mu Group had arranged for people to come here in advance, Mu Qingya's secretary team would be able to arrive later.
Before leaving, Zhao Fan knew that this matter could not be solved in just a few days, so he was not in a hurry. Now Mu Qingya is in a military area with strict defense, and his escort mission seems much easier, and there is no need to guard here all the time.
After lunch, the Mu Group arrived in advance and several staff members arrived here. Mu Qingya wanted to learn about some of the situation with them, so Zhao Fan said hello to her and left here with Gu Ziyan.
The capital is the political and economic center of the entire China. Compared with the third-tier small towns like Xiling City, it is naturally more prosperous.
Although he knew that the so-called confidentiality might have no meaning, Gu Ziyan still did not contact the Gu family to pick them up. The two walked a distance, took a taxi, and rushed to the Gu family.
Xu Yuan, this is where the old man of the Gu family is located.
When he got on the bus, the taxi driver kept sneaking around Gu Ziyan. When he looked at Zhao Fan, who was wearing ordinary clothes, he even raised his head, with a bit of the inexplicable superiority of people in the capital.
But after hearing her calmly report this place name, her expression suddenly changed. She sat upright along the way, and her car drove extremely smoothly. The Beijing taxi driver, who is famous for his ability to talk, did not say a single strange sentence along the way.
Needless to say, in that direction, or that street, just say two words, the taxi driver can directly find the place. With an unintentional detail, you can see what kind of existence the Gu family is.
Xu, the pronunciation of this character is the same as "Xu", and the meaning is Mianli.
In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, the Gu family owns a garden like the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. There are countless scenery in small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, and rockery. When you look up, you will see the scenery everywhere.
Zhao Fan and Gu Ziyan came in through the back door. He took a look with exploration and estimated that the garden covers at least thirty acres.
Although it was the back door, there were still two young men with strong faces guarding like soldiers. However, they all knew Gu Ziyan. When they saw her coming back, they saluted respectfully and greeted her.
As soon as these two men were about to go in and report, they were stopped by Gu Ziyan.
With Gu Ziyan's apologetic smile, they carefully checked Zhao Fan and confirmed that he did not carry any offensive weapons before they let them into the garden.
The garden is very big and the scenery is beautiful, but it looks a bit deserted. There are no signs of living in the courtyards and wings in various places.
There was only one small attic in the yard where there were men and women whispering to each other, and there were more than twenty young men with strong faces guarding the small attic around it.
Needless to say, this small attic is where Gu Peixun lives.
Gu Ziyan’s so-called secret treatment was really a bit whimsical.
Perhaps because of his bad luck, Mr. Gu Peixun's situation has become a little unoptimistic these days, and the Gu family has paid more attention to the night here.
Not intentional, after understanding their lip styling, Zhao Fan also knew that these people were all descendants of Gu Peixun.
These people, men and women, have a power to stay in high positions for a long time. Although their clothes don’t look very eye-catching, Zhao Fan, who is knowledgeable, can see at a glance that anything on them is an internationally renowned brand.
If any of these people is converted into Chinese currency, it will be enough for an ordinary family to spend several years.
Zhao Fan still saw the old man in the attic. He was already thin and had a high cheekbones on his face. In this case, his eyebrows were already long, and even felt like he could radiate with the wind.
The extremely spacious and decorated antique bedroom is filled with various medical instruments. Several doctor-like people should have finished their examinations, all of whom are bitter. Looking at the piles of examination results on the square table in the lounge area in a corner of the bedroom, I occasionally shook my head gently.
The old man's condition was indeed very unoptimistic, and even his breathing was a little weak.
But the people outside the attic were not as nervous as they imagined.
They seem to be very relaxed, and the topic they are talking about is indeed very high-end to ordinary people. From the international situation to the domestic economy, every word may be a secret that many people will never get to in their entire lives.
After walking through the winding corridor for more than ten minutes, Gu Ziyan also saw the people in the yard. She looked moved and reached out to stop Zhao Fan, who was walking side by side with him, with a little hesitation and a little anger on her face.
"You can't escape. Your grandfather's situation is probably in danger. These people will stay here all the time."
Zhao Fan knew what Gu Ziyan was thinking, shook her head gently and said calmly.
"Grandpa hasn't really loved them all these years, for fear that they would suffer a little grievance. Why did they end up like this? How could they be so cruel? Just looking forward to grandpa's death?"
Gu Ziyan looked at the group of people with a sleek look, clenched her fists, her face turned pale, and her anger was so angry that she trembled all over her body.
"At this time, what's the point of making such complaints? Why don't you take me over and show your grandpa?"
Zhao Fan already knew his identity and knew that he had a blood relationship with the Zhao family in the capital. However, contacting the first Zhao family except the old man was a fight.
Seeing this scene in the Gu family, he felt less fond of such a family. He was even somewhat grateful that the Zhao family's hostility towards him made him lose any favor to this family, so he didn't have to bother with such bullshit things.
There is a saying among small families that is that there is no filial son after a long illness.
There is no need to say more about the aristocratic family like the Gu family who puts interests first.
An old man who was about to die was just a pile of wealth in their eyes. He just waited for him to take his last breath and then shared his corpse like a beast.
"You can definitely cure him!"
Gu Ziyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took Zhao Fan toward the attic with big strides.
"Oh, Zi Yan, when did you come back? Why didn't you say hello in advance? Aunt San can arrange someone to pick you up!"
The group of people heard the movement here and looked at them with their eyes in unison.
A middle-aged woman wearing a green cheongsam and short shawl hair looked at Gu Ziyan with squint eyes. She seemed to be caring, but her tone was full of perfunctoryness and could not hear any sincerity.
"Zi Yan, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring an outsider to Xuyuan? After going out for a while, don't even understand the rules?"
A middle-aged man with a national face looked coldly at Zhao Fan, and said coldly, looking at Gu Ziyan.
"The old man loves the most is your granddaughter. Now that he is sick, you have run out of the wild, which is really disappointing!"
A woman wearing a beige cheongsam was just smiling and talking about plans for traveling to the people around her. At this time, she saw Gu Ziyan, but she was full of great truths.
The man's thin lips were painted with bright red lipstick, his cheekbones were raised, and he looked mean, and his mouth was filled with sarcasm.
