Chapter 391: Uncle Liu is just after money!
Gu Yu ran out of school in the middle of the night, but he still called Chen Qi and asked him to let him in.
After all, it was already half past eleven, the dormitories were about to close, and the school gate had long since stopped allowing students to enter or leave.
When she returned to the village, she went to the house that was usually uninhabited.
Everyone knew that the villa belonged to Jiang Shu and would always belong to him.
But tonight, the light was on in the study and the door of the villa was not closed.
This was also her first time entering this villa, but the layout was similar to her home.
The video was in the study, so she went straight to the door of the study.
After she stood at the door for a while and put her head inside, she found that there was no one else except Jiang Shu who was kneeling on the ground.
Only then did she feel relieved and slipped in.
"Jiang Shu, Uncle Liu and Aunt Jiang have already left, you should get up quickly too."
In the video, Jiang Yiling did not hold back at all. Although the weather was cold, Jiang Shu was wearing a lot of clothes, but he had no coat at all, only a sweater and a shirt.
It remains to be seen how much force it can block.
Jiang Shu didn't move at all, just staring at the photo in front of him, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Yu said: "Seeing you get beaten because of me, how could I not come? I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to let Aunt Jiang beat you."
"It has nothing to do with you. This is my own problem."
Gu Yu was surprised and said, "You are so outstanding, how could there be a problem? Everyone thinks you are the most powerful person in the village."
After all, Jiang Shu never had a rebellious period and he has become too mature over the years.
Compared with other naughty kids, it is obvious to the naked eye that there is a huge gap between him and Jiang Shu.
The most intuitive feeling is that Jiang Shu failed to do the same thing because it was too difficult and beyond the ability of young people. Others failed to do it because they did not study hard, had no ability, and were useless.
The double standards of our elders are summarized from countless small things.
Jiang Shu said: "This time it's different."
"Why is it different? What did you do wrong?"
"I want to leave home."
"Ah? What do you mean by leaving? Uncle Liu and Aunt Jiang shouldn't have any restrictions on you staying in Qinghe, right? Didn't you go to college in Beijing?"
Jiang Shu went to university in Beijing, and later studied for his master's and doctoral degrees in Qinghe.
"It's a real departure. I probably won't be back in the short term."
"???, what do you mean? How long is this short term?"
“Maybe ten years, maybe thirty years.”
Gu Yu was stunned.
She has only lived for eighteen years, and Jiang Shu is going to leave home and never come back for thirty years?
Soon, Jiang Shu continued: "It is also possible that he will come back earlier."
"Then come back early."
"What came back were my ashes."
"???, then don't come back, no, what on earth are you going to do?"
Gu Yu felt that what Jiang Shu said was too creepy.
"To be a soldier."
"That's actually... you don't want to be on the front line, do you?"
War has never stopped, especially since the two years when she was born. Until now, she is no longer satisfied with the game off the stage.
"Um."
"Why? You are so smart, you can choose many paths, why do you choose this one?"
"Because any other kind of strength is not the real strength."
"Why do you want to be so powerful? Aren't we all living well now?"
"Well, you should go back to bed. The heating in this villa is not turned on and it is already very cold."
Jiang Shu didn't want to explain anything to Gu Yu anymore.
After all, Gu Yu’s world is very simple, it is the happy life that can be seen in front of him.
Such people will be very happy all their lives.
"Then come with me. I'll go find Uncle Liu and explain the situation."
She didn't dare to talk to Jiang Yiling because Jiang Yiling would not pamper her.
Only that 'Uncle Liu' had a particularly good personality. He was kind to everyone and liked me very much.
She was willing to go to such an elder to tell him many things that she didn't dare to tell her father.
Who knew Jiang Shu suddenly said: "My dad thinks the same as me."
"Ah? Uncle Liu also wants you to join the army?"
"Um."
"impossible!"
Gu Yu immediately denied this statement.
She knew Uncle Liu too well. Even if Jiang Shu was not his biological son, he would not be willing to let Jiang Shu die.
Besides, if he wanted Jiang Shu to get out, why did he send me the video? Wasn't it just to get me to come back and persuade Jiang Shu?
As for why it was her, she didn't know.
Anyway, I'm here.
Jiang Shu said: "He really didn't say that. If I didn't go, he certainly wouldn't say anything. It's just that I want to go now..."
“Why didn’t you want to go before, but want to go now?”
"Because I didn't understand a lot of things before, and I needed to wait for a result. Now... I have waited for that result, and I have gradually understood the things I didn't understand before."
Gu Yu stood there in a daze.
What result are you waiting for? It seems that since Jiang Shu said something that day, he has changed completely.
Don't make trouble for yourself, and don't look at yourself during class.
"Jiang Shu, don't tell me that the result you are waiting for has anything to do with me."
Jiang Shu nodded: "Yeah."
"You're crazy! I'm only a few months old."
"I've been waiting since you were sixteen."
Gu Yu panicked.
Pacing back and forth.
After a while, she said, "So if I agree to be your girlfriend, will you stay?"
Jiang Shu shook his head: "The result is the same. Whether you agree or not, I will leave. The result of waiting for you is nothing more than the difference between leaving with peace of mind or not."
"What is peace of mind and what is uneasy?"
"If you have a girlfriend, you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can just focus on your work. If you don't have one, you will probably have to distract yourself to look for one. After all, I'm at the age to get married."
Gu Yu's mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure it out.
She really hadn't thought about these things, at least not during her four years in college.
If it's a love relationship, then yes.
Can't Jiang Shu just take it slow?
Just at this moment, she heard footsteps outside and looked towards the door. After a while, Li Yuan's figure appeared in front of the study.
Li Yuan saw Gu Yu and said with a smile: "It's so late, why aren't you in the dormitory?"
Gu Yu ran over and said, "Uncle Liu, Jiang Shu said he wants to join the army."
"Yes, I know. I came here just to see him off."
"What……"
Gu Yu thought about what Jiang Shu had just said. Did Uncle Liu really want Jiang Shu to leave? And not come back?
What does he want?
She really didn't want to assume anything malicious about this 'Uncle Liu' because this Uncle Liu had brought her a lot of happiness in her childhood.
But he let Jiang Shu go and die.
How can one not make malicious assumptions?
Li Yuan didn't say anything else to Gu Yu, but pulled out the chair next to the desk and sat down.
Looking at Jiang Shu kneeling beside him, he slowly said, "I have already told your mother that you should go to school to hand over your work after daybreak."
"good."
Li Yuan said seriously: "When you go out this time, don't expect your family to help you, and don't expect me to do anything for you. When you leave this village, you are yourself, and you are the only one! No one in the village will give you any of their resources, do you understand?"
Li Jingcheng has more or less used up some of the family's resources, so it would be convenient for Yao Yingsong to help out.
But Jiang Shu really didn't have any resources at all, and he had to rely on himself to fight for it all.
Of course, if he was just one step away from final success, Li Yuan would do his best to help him achieve it.
But that is not something we should consider right now. It will take at least twenty or thirty years .
It is still unclear whether Li Yuan can live to that time.
Jiang Shu lowered his head, "I know."
Li Yuan continued, "You are not allowed to come back from now on. You are not allowed to call home except on Chinese New Year's Day! Even if you get married and have children, you have to do it outside and have nothing to do with your family."
"Um."
"Don't call me dad anymore. It doesn't matter what else you do."
"Um."
"Then let me ask you one last question, do you still want to go?"
Jiang Shu said without hesitation, "Go!"
Li Yuan closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Gu Yu, who was standing by, felt the suffocating atmosphere and finally couldn't help asking, "Why does it have to be like this? Isn't it good for everyone to live together? The village is very harmonious, isn't it fun for everyone to play together? Isn't Aunt Jiang also very rich ? If not, I can ask my dad to give it to me!"
She talked for a long time, but no one responded to her.
"Uncle Liu, can't you stop Jiang Shu? As long as you ask, Jiang Shu won't leave. If you want something, I can promise you that Jiang Shu doesn't want anything and he won't fight with you for anything. It doesn't matter if you want Aunt Jiang to leave everything to Liu Ling..."
That was all she could think of.
It's simply that Uncle Liu is coveting Aunt Jiang's property. Jiang Shu and Li Jingcheng are not his biological sons, and he wants to leave something for his daughter Liu Ling.
There is no need to sacrifice Jiang Shu for this.
Still no one answered her.
Just like that, more than ten minutes passed.
The two of them didn't move.
Finally, Li Yuan opened his eyes and asked, "Do you have anything else you want to ask? I can answer them all tonight."
Jiang Shu shook his head: "No more."
After hearing this, Li Yuan stood up and said, "Then you can sleep here tonight, go home for dinner tomorrow night, and leave the day after tomorrow."
"good."
Li Yuan left.
Gu Yu shouted from behind, "Can't we leave next year? The Chinese New Year is only two months away. Can't we just spend the New Year at home?"
Unfortunately, Li Yuan did not stop because of Gu Yu's words.
For the first time, Gu Yu felt that Uncle Liu was so strange and unkind.
Even though Jiang Shu is not his biological son, Jiang Shu has respected him so much over the years and treats him as his biological father.
How could he be so cruel!
Seeing that it was useless to call Uncle Liu, she hurried to Jiang Shu, squatted on the ground, and said to Jiang Shu: "Jiang Shu, can we not listen to him?"
Jiang Shu shook his head. "Don't worry about me. Go back to bed. I won't sleep tonight."
"you……"
Gu Yu was so angry!
It seems that Jiang Shu is so smart in studying, but why is he so stupid at this time?
Right now, she felt that the only person who could solve this problem was her father.
After all, his father is the richest man in the world and has the most say in the village.
Normally, I just respect Uncle Liu. After all, Uncle Liu has no job and no money, so it is easy for him to develop an inferiority complex.
Everyone in the village cares about Uncle Liu, but it’s all because of Aunt Jiang’s identity.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to find my dad!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran out.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and she knew that her father must have gone to bed.
Normally, she didn't dare to disturb her father late at night, but tonight, she was ready to take a risk.
The worst that could happen is that you'll get scolded.
She returned to her villa, identified herself, opened the door, and walked in.
The house was very quiet and it was obvious that everyone was asleep.
She went directly to the master bedroom and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
She heard her aunt's voice coming from inside.
"Aunt, it's me, Gu Yu. I have something to ask dad."
After a while, the door opened.
When Gu Yu was about to go in, her aunt whispered, "Your father just fell asleep and was woken up by the noise. He is angry. Don't mess with him."
"Yeah, okay."
Gu Yu has known about his family's situation since he was a child.
My father is not married, but all six children are registered in his household registration book.
She has an older brother and an older sister who are both in college, and three younger brothers who are all in high school.
Gu Dongsheng leaned back on the bed, feeling a little exhausted. He asked coldly, "Why are you looking for me so late at night? Why aren't you in school?"
Gu Dongsheng also likes this daughter, even though she is quite mediocre in every aspect.
It’s just that he has been very busy these years, especially tonight, when he finally fell asleep and was woken up again.
After being a big boss for so many years, it is normal to have a temper. Without temper, you can't control others.
Nanshan Group is different from other companies. There are too many people, and the work is the kind that tests one’s humanity.
Gu Yu is very afraid of her father. She always feels that her father's eyes can kill people.
Judging from this look, it is impossible to train this person without a hundred or eighty lives on his hands.
She said carefully, "Dad, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Is there anything you can't tell your Uncle Liu? Doesn't he manage your lives?"
Gu Dongsheng would not care about those trivial matters, for he was afraid that he might accidentally use too much force.
It would be best if Li Yuan was in charge. He is very low-key now and has a lot of experience.
"It's all about Uncle Liu... He insists on sending Jiang Shu to the army. Can you persuade him? Doesn't he just want Aunt Jiang's property? He wants Jiang Shu to die, and then exclude Li Jingcheng. In this way, Aunt Jiang's property will belong to his daughter Liu Ling."
Gu Dongsheng: “…”
"Who told you that?"
"Do I need to hear more? I saw it with my own eyes today. Uncle Liu is so cruel. He deliberately asked Aunt Jiang to beat Jiang Shu and told Jiang Shu not to come back. He also said that his family would not give him a penny of help and would not even let him call home."
"What!"
When Gu Dongsheng heard this, his whole body trembled.
"Dad, you are the only one who can help Jiang Shu. How about this? I'll give my dowry to Uncle Liu, and you can help me talk to Uncle Liu and make him change his mind. Is that ok?"
