Chapter 40 - The Gu Family

When she spoke about General's snacks, she actually meant that she wanted to eat some snacks herself. He knew that when she was smiling like a thief, she was up to something.

Because she had eaten a bag of chips Jian Sangyu happily patted her belly, she tried hen stretched out her hands to shake General's paw. "Thank you so much for sharing, General. I will take a walk with you outside the next time I am here."

Jian Sangyu tossed the empty packet of chips away and hurried back to the sofa. Without any more words from Gu Chen, she poured herself a cup of boiled water and quickly drank it.

At this moment, Gu Qingxi walked down the stairs and called out to Jian Sangyu.

"One of my clients gave me a basket of eggs from the countryside, when are you planning to go home? I can give you some of you'd like. It is very difficult to get eggs from the countryside nowadays and these eggs are very nutritious. When Gu Chen is not at home, eat one every day to give yourself some nutrients."

"Okay!" Jian Sangyu agreed with a pleasant smile. Then she turned to Gu Chen and asked, "When are we going home?"

Gu Chen threw a look at Jian Sangyu who had sneakily eaten snacks but forgotten to wipe away the evidence. He couldn't help chuckling at the sight; she still had some crumbs at the edge of her lips, which she was not aware of. She had thought that she did everything discreetly without being aware of the fact that he knew everything she did by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What are you chuckling for when Sangyu is asking you when you are going home?" Gu Qingxi found the scene quite scary. It was indeed very horrifying when a silent person suddenly chuckled.

Only at this moment did Gu Chen stop chuckling and go back to his old position. Gu Qingxi was shocked by the way Gu Chen suddenly chuckled a moment ago, and she thought that maybe she had imagined his expression.

"We will see." Gu Chen was not in a hurry to go home. He found that Jian Sangyu at the Gu Family's house was a lot of fun.

"Alright, if you want to stay here overnight, you can ask Aunty to change your blanket. Tell Aunty when you are going home, and I will ask Aunty to give you the eggs." Having said this, Gu Qingxi then walked towards the door before quickly adding, "I need to be at the company today and I may not make it home for lunch. Do remember to stay at home and eat lunch with Grandpa."

Gu Qingxi changed her shoes and walked out when she saw Gu Chen nodding in agreement. With Gu Qingxi gone, Gu Chen, Jian Sangyu and the nanny were the only ones left at home.

Grandpa Gu had one son and two daughters. The eldest son was also working in the Guardian Team and the entire family were living in the courtyard. Gu Chen's mother was Grandpa Gu's eldest daughter and she had passed away when Gu Chen was only little. Gu Chen was brought up by Grandpa Gu and Gu Qingxi was Grandpa Gu's youngest daughter. Being the youngest basically made her fearless towards Grandpa Gu.

When Grandpa Gu was young, he had been in many wars and now he was a very prestigious General in the Guardian Team. Grandpa Gu's wife was the descendent of a businessman whose family business could date back to the Qing Dynasty. All the way until the present time, the family had been able to accumulate tremendous amounts of property.

The Gu's Enterprise, which got its name later on, earned the most money. The Gu's Enterprise was under the leadership of Gu Qingxi and her husband, and Gu Chen inherited the legacy share from his mother. Sharing the same view as his uncle, he barely cared about the company business. The only thing he needed to do was to get the profits by the end of the year.

How wealthy was the Gu's Enterprise? When the Jian Family's enterprise almost went into bankruptcy because of the finance problem, the Gu's Enterprise gave them hundreds of millions of yuan without hesitation or receiving any capital circulation of their own.

Therefore, even if Jian Sangy had never asked how much Gu Chen got each year as profits, since it was quite a private thing, she had always been aware of the fact that Gu Chen never lacked money.
