Chapter 214 No Entry to the Compound
Chapter 214 No Entry to the Compound
Gu Hanchuan looked disdainful. The item was in an envelope, but the envelope wasn't sealed, so he simply pulled the contents out.
In return, Gu Dongfang struck him with his cane once more.
Fortunately, Gu Hanchuan managed to dodge it this time.
Upon opening it, I found a bankbook.
The passbook is in Gu Hanchuan's name.
Seeing his grandson's surprised expression, Gu Dongfang felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said with a proud look, "Each of you will receive one. Although we sent you money for your wedding which was held outside, it's not the same as sending money to you. This is your share. Give it to Ye Nuan when you get back."
"Okay, but some of the entries seem to be from the last two years. Didn't they say they wouldn't give them to each other after marriage?"
Gu Dongfang angrily cursed, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Gu Hanchuan then shut up.
The old man was probably worried that he was living a poor life, and that he was the only one without his parents or any respectable elders around him, so he thought of giving him more money.
Gu Hanchuan accepted it; it was a gift from his own grandfather, and he felt no guilt whatsoever.
However, he felt there was no need to withdraw the money from the account, since they weren't actually short of money.
But Nuannuan seems to have said that she wants him to buy a larger courtyard house in Beijing in the future, so she wants to live in a courtyard house.
However, real estate cannot be bought or sold now, and it's difficult for the housing authority to handle the matter.
Let's wait and see; maybe there will be another opportunity in the future.
If there's really no chance, then he'll find a way to demolish all the houses here and rebuild a courtyard house for her.
Ye Nuan wanted him to buy a courtyard house because she remembered that housing prices in Beijing rose very quickly in her previous life.
The house price skyrocketed as soon as the policy of buying and selling was relaxed. She didn't know if Gu Hanchuan would be transferred to the capital in the future, but she still had the chance to get rich quickly.
Li Jingde and Fang Fang also gave Gu Hanchuan a red envelope, but this time Gu Hanchuan didn't open it.
Fang Fang asked him to come home for dinner that evening, and Gu Hanchuan agreed.
Gu Dongfang, however, couldn't bring himself to say the same thing.
Because when Gu Hanchuan was a teenager and still in school, something happened once while he was eating at the old house.
Since then, after being taken away by Li Aizhen, he has never eaten at the Gu residence again.
That evening, Gu Hanchuan arrived at the Li family's house with a large amount of stuff. Li Jingde took out a bottle of Moutai, and the father and son began to drink and chat.
That night, Gu Hanchuan didn't leave; he stayed at the Li family's house.
After Gu Dongfang found out, he sat alone in his study for half the night.
Among the younger generation of the Gu family, the most promising are the second son's son and Gu Hanchuan.
The others are all of mediocre talent, and even with the support of the Gu family, their best future is probably only that of a section chief.
Gu Dongfang sighed.
What a wonderful grandson!
Now that he's calmed down, he realizes that although he has many children, he doesn't actually care about any of them.
The eldest brother lives with them, but his job isn't here, so he doesn't come back often.
The second son is far away in the military region, the third son is in the research institute, and the fourth son is also at home, but when I think of that bastard, I'd rather he wasn't left behind.
The old man gets a headache just thinking about him.
Even if the third brother doesn't usually live at the research institute, he probably won't come back. There was a fight about this before. At that time, Gu Dongfang wasn't home. He only knew that the third brother had brought his wife and children back before he left, but when he came back after playing chess, the third brother's whole family had left.
No one said anything to him at the time, only that the third son and his wife had something to do, but he didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until a year later, when his second son came back and had a huge fight with him, that he found out what had happened.
The fourth brother's children have taken over the third brother's house. When the third brother comes back, he doesn't even have a place to stay. What's the point of him coming back?
During the holidays, the fact that the third son thought of bringing him some fruit is a testament to his filial piety!
It was after that incident that the old man began to trust Wang Qinya less in everything.
But he didn't expect that this woman was truly ruthless.
He actually dared to let Gu Shuang do such a thing.
If Song Huili had really been forced to marry into the Liu family, how much suffering would Gu Hong and his wife have endured?
And what if Song Huili, with her fiery temper, were to drown herself in the lake in a moment of desperation? Who would be responsible then?
Thinking back now, the old man's back was covered in cold sweat.
If that's the case, simply kicking Gu Shuang out would be too lenient.
"Xiao Zheng, come here!"
Holding the old man's handwritten note, Xiao Zheng rushed straight to the newspaper office.
It's too late to publish it tomorrow; let's wait until the day after.
However, Xiao Zheng never expected the old man to be so ruthless.
Not only in the newspapers, he also had Xiao Zheng broadcast the story on the radio, so that more people would know that Gu Shuang was disliked by Old Master Gu.
As for the reason, Gu Dongfang still considered Wang Qinya's feelings and only said that he couldn't bear to see the Zhang family bloodline die out, so he would have no further relationship with the Gu family.
Actually, the old man was still afraid of being talked about by outsiders.
What if everyone says their home is in turmoil?
It's shameful for a stepdaughter to use such methods to persecute her own grandchildren.
Even more absurdly, from then on, Gu Shuang was no longer even allowed to enter the compound, not even to register, because she was listed as someone the Gu family refused to associate with.
This means that the claim of not wanting the Zhang family bloodline to end is just a pretext.
The truth is that Gu Shuang did something that made the Gu family patriarch unable to tolerate it any longer, which led to this decision.
Wang Qinya didn't know at first that Gu Shuang, or rather Zhang Shuang, was no longer allowed to enter the compound.
It wasn't until Zhang Shuang came to her crying that she learned Zhang Shuang was now on the compound's blacklist of people who were refused visits.
In a fit of anger, Wang Qinya confronted Gu Dongfang to argue.
“That’s my daughter. Even if she doesn’t have the surname Gu anymore, she’s still my daughter. What do you mean by not letting her come here? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I’m too old to take care of you anymore?”
"What utter nonsense are you spouting!"
“Gu Dongfang, I’ve served you for decades. When I married into the family, I brought Xiaoshuang with me, and you accepted her back then. Why are you being so cruel now? She’s called you ‘Dad’ for over thirty years!”
"Ha, you know she's not my daughter, so why should she have the surname Gu?"
Wang Qinya was stunned for a moment, then said, "Just because you were the one who made her change her way of speaking back then."
Gu Dongfang glared at him and said, "So, I can't just disown this daughter now?"
"no!"
Wang Qinya's anger flared up, and she seemed fearless, directly confronting the old man: "That's a living, breathing person! You just say you don't want him anymore? How can you be so cold-blooded?"
"I'm cold-blooded? Humph, I wish I could kill her right now! If it weren't for the fact that she's called me 'Dad' for decades, I would have shot her long ago!"
