Chapter 103 Pierce the Palm
How could the housekeeper dare to reply?
But his expression said it all.
He Zhihuai really shocked him when he asked this question.
Everyone in the He family seems to have the word "gentleman" engraved in their bones.
However, only the second young master can truly be consistent on the inside and outside.
The second young master is gentle and elegant, as if he has no edge. He is humble and polite in dealing with others and abides by rules. He is a rare gentleman.
Any one of them you pick out is an advantage, let alone all of them combined in him.
But...he was born in the He family.
The housekeeper sighed. When the second young master was very young, the old gentleman commented that he would be a good and warm person in the future.
It's a pity that he doesn't deserve to be the He family.
What the He family needs is an ambitious person. The person in charge who can support this huge century-old family.
He is like a piece of white paper dropped in the mire. Know the world but not the world, experience is smooth and innocent.
More than twenty years later, it still maintains its original appearance.
If Gu Xu asked this question, the housekeeper would only think it was normal.
He Zhihuai was indeed a surprise.
But if you think about it, it's normal. After all, he is a child raised by the He family.
Being smart.
Just a look made He Zhihuai feel relieved. He knew that the housekeeper had some things that he couldn't explain clearly, so he didn't embarrass him.
There was no one in the front hall and tea room. He raised his eyes and looked towards the third floor.
"Grandpa is in the study?"
The housekeeper nodded, He Zhihuai took a step forward and was stopped at the elevator door.
The butler winked at him.
You can't do it forcefully.
"You know the temper of the old gentleman. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't get into trouble at this time..."
"The young master is an example."
He Zhihuai understood that the other party had good intentions, "I know, but some words must be made clear."
It's not that he doesn't know what grandpa's methods are.
The moment Gu Miao said she received Grandpa's invitation, he knew that Grandpa was going to do something to her...
After coming out of the ward, he immediately checked Gu Miao's movements in recent days.
Even if someone has tampered with something, anything done will definitely leave some traces.
Sure enough, he still found it.
The driver of the online ride-hailing car that Gu Miao got into first disappeared, and then was found by a fishing guy in the river on the outskirts of Beijing...
The death was so strange, but all the evidence proved that the other party committed suicide.
He thinks this reason cannot be established.
If it was suicide, how come there was suddenly a large amount of money in his account three days before his death, and he didn't even have time to transfer it and distribute it.
Following the clues, the person who sent him money might be unfamiliar to others, but fortunately he was very familiar with it.
He is an old friend who has been with Grandpa for decades.
After checking here, it is basically clear.
This money bought Gu Miao's life.
He Zhihuai knew very well that if he stood up to protect Gu Miao at this time, he might aggravate his grandfather's anger.
But if nothing is done, Grandpa will definitely find another opportunity to strike.
Since the outcome is always the same, it’s better to give it a try.
After all, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Even if there are everything wrong, it's still my fault. It has nothing to do with her. She is just a child."
"I admit my fault, there is no reason to involve her."
The housekeeper took a breath, held his hand, and pulled him back from the elevator.
"Fortunately, you said this to me. If I said this to the old gentleman, I swear, Miss Gu will never be able to see the moon tonight."
"..."
He Zhihuai frowned.
"Before you come back, the eldest young master told the old gentleman exactly the same words, and then..." the butler raised his hand and gestured in the palm of his hand, "here... the pen is inserted directly."
The housekeeper sighed, "The eldest young master was kneeling on the floor in the study without saying a word."
"You didn't see that scene...hey."
"The old gentleman said that for the sake of celebrating the festival, he would not engage in war so much as to let the young master have a better memory. But if you do the same, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace today."
When the housekeeper thought of the scene in the morning, his hand trembled, as if it was his own palm that was pierced.
Who says there are no people in this world who feel the same way.
The eldest young master came back in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he took the initiative to go to the old gentleman to apologize.
The old gentleman didn't care that he secretly returned to Beijing, nor did he care what he did to Ms. He and the others.
It was Gu Xu's attitude that made him angry.
It stands to reason that the eldest young master is smooth and impeccable in dealing with things and understands the old gentleman's temper best.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Naturally, he knew when to say what words and what actions to do... but in the end, he still chose the words he shouldn't have said.
The old gentleman looked at the eldest young master with a smile, stopped writing, and asked: "The words are so nice. I even thought for a moment, otherwise I will help you."
"But you are not the only one in our He family."
"If it really comes true for you, what will Ah Huai do?"
"I want you to compete fairly. But I feel it's inappropriate. I'm still alive, and you two brothers are already fighting."
"If I die, won't you really end up killing each other over a woman?"
"I am also doing it for your own good."
"Grandpa."
The old gentleman raised his hand to signal him to shut up.
"That's it. I don't want to see blood today."
"Miaomiao is just a child. She doesn't understand anything. I forced it. It was me who was wrong."
"..."
The old gentleman stood up silently and walked to the kneeling figure.
Gu Xu, who had not slept all night, was in a state of disarray. His hair, which was usually delicately combed back, now hung down together with his proud head.
"Hand."
The old gentleman spoke.
Without saying a word, Gu Xu raised his right hand and placed it on the square table to one side.
Puff.
The tip of the pen pierced into the flesh, and the smell of blood spread.
The butler's shoulders trembled slightly, and it seemed that he could still hear the sound of blood flowing and dripping. But he saw that Gu Xu's figure did not waver a bit, as if he didn't feel any pain, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
It seems that I have become accustomed to it.
But when he spoke, his voice was trembling slightly, "I will bear the consequences."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind cutting off her fingers and giving them to you tonight." The old gentleman gave him a cold look, stood up and left the study.
"The eldest, the eldest young master..."
Gu Xu raised his eyes, the dark eyes under the lenses were stained with a smile. He slowly raised his hand, pulled out the pen in his palm, and threw it on the table.
"Can you call Beijing City for me?"
"...I'm afraid not."
Gu Xu smiled and nodded, not embarrassed.
He stood up, his hand hanging down still bleeding.
"I'll call the family doctor for you!"
Gu Xu ignored it and glanced out the window. "It's Mid-Autumn Festival. Fortunately, she is not alone."
"You said... why bother."
"Do you feel childish?"
"I always felt this way before."
The man chuckled and took the handkerchief, wiping the blood stains on his fingers slowly and elegantly.
"But now, there is no shame in liking her."
