I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 447 Returning to Brother Chao

Gu Sande is also afraid. If things can't be suppressed later and someone comes from above to cause trouble for the Gu family, he will be outnumbered and he won't be able to stop him even if he wants to.

Grandma Gu was very clear-minded, so she thought in the afternoon that Gu Sande would definitely come over and talk about this matter.

I had been prepared for it for a long time, but when I faced it, I felt a little more melancholy.

"Hey..." After a long silence, Grandma Gu sighed. The grooves on her old face became deeper and deeper, as if she had aged several years in an instant.

"Sande, you are a good boy. I think of you in my heart. Don't worry, I will never make this difficult for you. When Brother Chao comes back, I will ask him to pick up those things at home. .”

"Mrs…"

Gu Sande's face was complicated. After receiving Grandma Gu's promise, he didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, he became even heavier.

In the early years, Gu Sande was the companion of Gu Chao's father, and they were raised together in Grandma Gu's lap. They had been together for so long. Grandma Gu treated Gu Sande as gently as her own son. They were not related by blood, but they were better than blood.

Just as Grandma Gu treats Gu Sande well, Gu Sande also secretly regards Grandma Gu as a mother-like existence.

It was like this that Gu Sande felt unusually heavy pressure on his shoulders.

Grandma Gu comes from a medical family, so she inevitably loves her, but now he is forcing her to throw away these things, which is simply unnatural!

Wei Lan thought that Gu Sande's visit today had something to do with Gu Chao, so he took You Lan and sat quietly side by side on the bamboo bed. They looked like good babies, but in fact their ears were raised, for fear of missing anything. information.

How could Grandma Gu not know this?

He immediately waved his hand and said, "The adults are talking, while the children are playing."

Wei Lan nodded lightly. After listening to what he just said, he knew that it was not suitable to stay here any longer, so he waved to You Lan to go to the kitchen, "I'm going to cook the noodles, and You Lan will help me light the fire."

"Okay." Youlan nodded, glanced at Apo Gu and Gu Sande, and then trotted to the kitchen.

 Wei Lan stepped on a small bench and cut a half-palm-sized piece of bacon from under the eaves.

 The meat was brought back from another mountain by Gu Chao a few years ago.

 Half a fan of pork was eaten at home, and some were sent to Gu Yang's family. The remaining bit was rubbed with salt by Grandma Gu and made into bacon.

 Apply salt heavily, and if you don’t wash it properly, the noodles will feel very salty even if you cook them without salt.

Although the Gu family’s backyard is surrounded by bamboo trees, it is indeed a good place for ventilation.

The bacon was hung on the eaves to dry naturally for a period of time. The curing was very delicious. The skin and fat part of the meat were white and shiny, like paste and jade.

 The lean meat part is light pink mixed with rose red, the color is beautiful, and it tastes delicious at first glance.

Wei Lan scooped up a ladle of water, pinched the bacon and washed it carefully, then shook off the water droplets and pressed it on the cutting board to cut into thin slices.

The kitchen knife made a soft "thump" sound when it landed on the chopping board, which made the conversation in the front room vague and unreal.

Only five minutes after returning to the kitchen, Grandma Gu called from the front: "Wei Lan."

“Hey, here we come!” She picked up the sliced ​​meat with a kitchen knife and put it on a plate. Wei Lan wiped her hands and went to the main room.

As soon as he entered the main room, he saw Gu Sande getting up from the ground with his knees up. There was a patch of white ash on his forehead, as if he had knelt down and kowtowed just now.

Wei Lan squatted down a little, and Grandma Gu glanced over, patted the table and said, "As a gift to you, Uncle San De."

"Huh? Oh..." Wei Lan walked in front and opened the door first. She stood sideways and said, "Captain."

Gu Sande nodded and walked out. Wei Lan followed him and planned to take him to the door of the courtyard, but Gu Sande stopped and waved, "Just come here. Brother Chao is not in the house, so lock the door at night."

 Under the warm light behind the door, his back was broad but slightly stooped. Wei Lan was startled for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

When she realized that Gu Sande couldn't see her, she quickly responded, "Yes, captain, don't worry..."

Gu Sande strode out. Wei Lan followed for two steps and then stopped, "Captain, walk slowly!"

 …

 Cooking noodles is simple. Pour oil into the pot, sauté onion, **** and garlic until fragrant. Then add water and boil the pot. Add meat, vegetables and salt to taste.

You Lan sat at the small table, holding Wei Lan to write in a notebook and pen. Grandma Gu lit the fire and waited for the pot to boil. Wei Lan sat on the threshold with her knees in her arms, looking at the backyard in a daze.

 In the ink-stained night, there are dots of warm lights in the gaps between the pointed and low blue tile roofs.

 White smoke drifted out from the windows and chimneys, quickly blending into the night and disappearing.

 Every scene in the backyard seems to be dyed with a light golden edge under the afterglow of the faint light.

"Hey..." Wei Lan sighed, holding her chin in one hand and looking at the high courtyard wall, always hoping that something, or in other words, a person would appear there.

 “Bang bang bang—”

The sound of "bang bang bang -" was heard in her ears. You Lan raised her head and looked at Wei Lan and then at Grandma Gu. Neither of them had any reaction.

You Lan didn’t take it to heart and lowered his head to continue writing.

 “Bang bang bang—”

Another stronger "bang bang bang -" came, and Youlan couldn't help but asked: "Is someone knocking on the door?"

With these words, she had already stood up and walked out. Wei Lan stood up and came over, "Did the captain remember that there was something he didn't say and came back?"

Not long after Gu Sande left, Wei Lan thought it was possible.

You Lan jumped up and opened the door. When he saw the person outside the door, he was stunned for a moment. Then he jumped three feet high and hugged the man's waist. "Ah! Brother is back! Brother is back!"

Gu Chao stood at the door. The door that had been closed just now opened a gap, and he saw Wei Lan.

The little girl seemed to be in a low mood, and was a little stunned when she heard Youlan's shout.

Gu Chaoling pursed his lips, groped in his pocket with his big hand, took out two big white rabbits and gave them to Youlan, then supported Youlan's head and pushed him away.

You Lan happily held the candy and didn't think much about it when Gu Chao pushed her away.

　　Just being separated for several days, it was hard to avoid missing him in his heart. Youlan put the candy into his pocket, raised his head and wanted to hug Gu Chao, "Brother!"

Before he could even take off his steps, his head was supported by Gu Chao's big hand and pushed back.

You Lan took a few steps back and just stood still. Where was her brother's shadow in front of her?

  “囡囡.”

Gu Chao strode to Wei Lan and held Wei Lan's small hand in his big hand. He was about to pull the person closer to his arms for a hug, but he forgot that he was carrying bulging shoulders and suddenly pushed Wei Lan back. Take a few steps forward.

 “Ouch…”

“Nanny, are you okay?”

Gu Chao took off his bag and put it on the ground. He nervously pulled Wei Lan and looked around.

It has been more than ten days since they were separated. Gu Chao has lost weight, there are obvious bruises under his eyes, the stubble on his chin has grown to one centimeter, and his handsome face is dirty, like a savage.

"Why did you come back?" Wei Lan stared at him for a long time, her pink lips shriveled in grievance, her peach blossom eyes flashed with water, and she opened her eyes wide again, staring at him with hatred, "I didn't tell you, Is this bag carried on the back? What have you stuffed in it? It’s so bulging... Isn’t it tiring to carry it on the front?”

"I'm not tired." Gu Chao led her to the room, "There are many people on the train, so it's more comfortable to carry her on your back."

Looking past the kitchen door, he saw Grandma Gu standing up at the door of the stove. Gu called out, "Grandma."

Then his long legs stepped across the door threshold neatly, without any sloppiness. Grandma Gu originally wanted to ask Gu Chao if she encountered anything when she went out this time. Seeing this situation, she suddenly felt choked.

 That’s all, let’s reunite the young couple first.

The water in the pot was already boiling. Grandma Gu stopped her steps, picked up the basin of noodles and started to cook.

Wei Lan rolled out a lot of dough. He originally planned to save some for the next morning, but now he rolled it all in, which was just enough to eat.

The door of the room clicked and the bolt was locked. Gu Chao turned around suddenly, hugged Wei Lan's chin and rubbed it against her ear eagerly, "Nanny, Nanny..."

 The hot breath sprayed behind the ears, and Wei Lan got goosebumps all over her body, "Well..."

 “Well, I’m here, don’t... Brother Chao, window, window!”

The curtains were not drawn, the lights were on in the room, and it was pitch black outside. If Grandma Gu went to the backyard to pour water or something, she would be able to see everything in the room without even looking closely.

Wei Lan put her small hands on Gu Chao's chest and leaned back as she was not used to it, trying to distance herself a little.

However, as soon as she pulled away a little distance, the hand around her waist tightened, and Gu Chao forcefully pulled her back.

The angular jaw moved all the way to the right, trying to kiss Wei Lan, but Wei Lan turned her head and snatched it away, "No, you smell so bad-"

Before she could express her protest, her delicate lips were forcefully held and ravaged by the man. Wei Lan resisted with a "Uh-huh" and was quickly defeated, lying limply in Gu Chao's arms.

Gu Chao let go of Wei Lan with a slight gasp, turned around and sat down at the table with her in his arms.

Gu Chao rested his chin on Wei Lan's shoulder and remained silent for a long time.

He had a lot of things to say to Wei Lan these days, but when he actually saw Wei Lan, he couldn't say a word.

 This is good.

It's good to hold her and sit quietly for a while.

 Sensing that Gu Chao's mood was slightly abnormal, Wei Lan stopped struggling and let him hold her obediently.

 “What’s wrong? Didn’t it go well this time?”

Her voice was soft and gentle, and seemed to have a soothing magic power.

"Hmm." Gu Chao nuzzled her shoulder, and responded with Ruo Youruo. His voice was hoarse for a while, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, "No."

 Obvious hesitation is abnormal.

 “Don’t lie to me.”

Wei Lan was not stupid. He straightened up immediately, his eyebrows furrowed seriously, his face was straight, indicating that he would not accept any perfunctory treatment.

 After a moment of silence, Gu Chao was finally defeated by those clear peach blossom eyes.

 He sighed softly, "There is something wrong, but it is just a small error and does not have any impact."

 Gu Chao did encounter a lot of problems in Haishi.

 Furthermore, it concerns Xie Jinghong.

 Xie Jinghong had previously recommended himself to be Gu Chao's informant in Haishi, and actually had a secret agreement with Gu Chao.

Xie Jinghong can unconditionally mobilize his connections to stabilize Gu Chao's business, but in exchange, Gu Chao needs to help him get rid of the boss of the foreign bank, his nominal "father" James Lao.

 The whole reason was because Xie Jinghong felt that Gu Chaoqiang was the best.

What he can't do, Gu Chao can definitely do it.

 It's just that Xie Jinghong underestimated the time and frequency of Gu Chao's trips to Haishi.

While waiting for Gu Chao to take action, Xie Jinghong got the opportunity. Because he was worried that something would go wrong when Gu Chao took action later, Xie Jinghong decided to take action himself.

The result was as expected, Xie Jinghong personally killed old James, and the deal between him and Gu Chao was naturally terminated.

Xie Jinghong is a perverse and vindictive character. If the deal is terminated, then what he did for Gu Chao before will be regarded as wasted work. He will naturally refuse to let Gu Chao go if he is unbalanced in his heart.

 Gu Chao went straight to the suburban textile factory in Haishi. As soon as he signed a contract for a batch of goods to be shipped to Province H, he met Xie Jinghong who was bringing people with him.

Gu Chao is strong, but there is a saying that goes: A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

 Once again being outnumbered, after several encounters, Gu Chao quickly fell behind.

After James Sr. died, Xie Jinghong wanted to inherit the company as his adopted son, but he failed to calculate his age.

Today, Xie Jinghong is only thirteen years old. Although the foreign company is owned by foreigners, it is linked to the Z government. The Z government will not treat such a large foreign company as a joke and leave it to a half-year-old child to take care of it.

Faced with the fact that the company was about to be divided up to others, Xie Jinghong was confused and went back and forth for several days before he finally put his own people in.

 However, if a person really wants to be obedient and obedient, a handle alone is not enough, as Xie Jinghong knew very well.

It is okay to threaten someone in the short term, but in the long run, there will be backlash.

Only when people can taste the sweetness and feel that they can find a way out and climb up by listening to them, can they truly be able to control a person.

 So, Xie Jinghong needs money, a lot of money.

Gu Chao can do business and make money. Xie Jinghong intercepted Gu Chao not to kill Gu Chao, but just to get a share of Gu Chao's business.

It's just that he opened his mouth too wide, and even if Gu Chao was at a disadvantage, he refused completely.

 The long tug-of-war negotiations began, and it was precisely because of this that the return date was delayed...

Of course, it is impossible for Gu Chao to truthfully tell Wei Lan these things.

 He just wants her to have a happy life and do something she likes at home, and there is no need to think about anything else.

“Really?” Wei Lan narrowed her peach blossom eyes, obviously not believing it.

Gu Chao nodded, his dark and deep eyes not shying away from looking at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan stared at him quietly for a while, and finally convinced, "Okay."

Gu Chao tightened his hand around her waist, breathing heavily and wanted to kiss her again. Wei Lan put her small hand on his lips to stop him from getting closer, "Don't make trouble yet, I have something else to tell you!"

"Okay, let's not make a fuss now." Gu Chao sat up straight and felt that he smelled bad, fearing that Wei Lan would be inhaled.

  Pulling away a little, Gu Chao added: "Tonight, I will sleep here."

 Speaking in a serious manner but not seriously.

Wei Lan's cheeks puffed up and she turned into a puffer fish for a second, but she quickly calmed down when she thought of business.

Wei Lan told Gu Chao in detail what happened recently and what happened when Gu Sande came just now.

Gu Chao was deep in thought. Seeing his frowning and serious look, Wei Lan suddenly became a little nervous, "With such a huge formation like the captain, this matter can't be really serious, right? Grandma didn't let me listen..."

The formation that Wei Lan was referring to was that Gu Sande was kneeling and kowtowing at the same time. He thought that because of this, it was completely unnecessary, right?

Why…
