Gu Zexi led her towards the small side hall at the back of the villa. There was a person standing in front of the open door of the duplex room with the side of the beautiful flowers.
Gu Ruochu only realized that it was master Gu when she turned around.
When she met the master's deep gaze, she subconsciously stood next to Gu Zexi. She had not forgotten master Gu's fierce attitude the last time. At that time, Zhang Xuan was always worried that he would lay a hand on her.
From Zhang Xuan's attitude, she could tell that she had probably done something that would affect her. It was hard to guarantee that master Gu really did not want to take revenge.
"Are you that afraid of me? "
Master Gu burst into laughter. He did not have his usual stern demeanor.
Of course, Gu Ruochu would not admit that she was afraid at that moment. She denied it, "why would I be afraid? I've never done anything wrong to you. "
Seeing that she was still stubborn, master Gu's eyes softened, "don't be afraid of me. I didn't really want to do anything to you. I only asked Zexi to call you over. I want to see what kind of person Nan Yue can deal with. "
He already knows about Nan Yue?
"Sit. "
The old man let her in. With Gu Zexi by her side, Gu Ruochu did not want to follow the old man into the room.
Seeing that she was not afraid at all, a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.
"Even though I hate the Ning family, it doesn't mean that I will shift my hatred onto Zhang Xuan's daughter. " The old man sighed, "when I first saw you, I was still a little shocked. I didn't expect that more than twenty years would pass in a flash. "
Gu Ruochu had only seen the old man in a hurry the last time. Now that she had come into contact with him, she felt that he was a kind old man.
"The last time I saw old master Gu, I was almost chased out by you. "
Hearing her teasing tone, the old master only smiled, "back then, I lost my temper and wanted to chase you out, but I didn't see you listening. "
He paused and continued, "your personality doesn't quite resemble Zhang Xuan's. Don't call me old master Gu, it sounds so sour. Just call me grandfather. "
Gu Ruochu did not retort but continued to ask.
"May I ask, did... did my mother have any grudges with the GU family? "
This was something she had always wanted to find out. It had been so many years and the old master still could not forgive the Ning family. Even if Zhang Xuan had not directly killed Suqin, she was probably the main culprit who had indirectly caused the death of the Ning family's daughter.
"Zhang Xuan didn't tell you about this? "
"She never did. "
The old master laughed Icily, "of course she wouldn't tell and she wouldn't dare to. "
Gu Zexi had already sat down and the old master began to recount the grudge between the Ning family and the Gu family. When he saw Gu Ruochu's eyes, the emotions in his heart were stirred.
"back then, Zhang Xuan and Suqin were very close sisters. Even though they were not related by blood, they were both the only daughters of the family, so they were very precious. "
"At that time, Zhang Xuan fell in love with her bodyguard after a long time. At that time, Suqin was also in love and had her heart captured by a young man. That man's identity and background were vastly different from the Gu family's. He knew that I would never agree to this absurd marriage and had actually abducted my daughter."
Every time this matter was mentioned, the old man would grit his teeth in hatred.
"A year later, Suqin returned with a big belly. You didn't see that a spoiled and pampered young lady was tortured by life, marriage, and the children of the High School affiliated to Renmin University of China. She was even timid when she saw me and her mother. "
