☆、Chapter 60

On Saturday evening, Gu Xu drove Xia Zichen back home. Considering that my family only arrived in n city yesterday, and we need to get rid of the jet lag, we didn't make it earlier.

The main residence of the Gu family in city n is located in the south of the city. Although it is a bit far away, the location is very good and the environment is quiet. You can walk to the seaside in five minutes, and the security measures are also very strict.

Before Xia Zichen went, he only heard a brief description given to him by Gu Xu, but Xia Zichen was still very shocked when he actually entered the area that belonged to the Gu family.

The car drove up the hillside, and among the branches whose leaves had fallen off, Xia Zichen could vaguely see the villa above the mountain. It was getting late, and the street lights on the roadside were already turned on, illuminating the road very brightly.

After a while, the car drove to a thick hollow iron door. Gu Xu scooped up the remote control placed in front of the steering wheel, pressed it, and entered a password. After confirmation, the door opened to both sides.

Gu Xu drove in the door, and the door slowly closed again.

"It's quite high-end." Xia Zichen glanced at the door behind and smiled. In fact, he was still a little nervous. Even though he had prepared himself mentally last night, it had some effect, but he still wouldn't be as calm as when he went home.

"There are a lot of security measures at home, and it's a little troublesome. I'll tell you how to do it later." It's a bit far from the station, so they usually drive back by themselves. In order to avoid the trouble of ringing the doorbell, several children in the Gu family will have a password device for the door. , the password of each password device is different, after being recognized by the electronic system of the door, the door will automatically open.

After entering the gate, there is a large yard. Because of the cold weather, most of the plants in the yard are bare, and only a circle of dwarf pines decorates the green scenery.

Gu Xu turned the car left and drove around the villa along the repaired four-row lane. From this position, you can already see the main building of the villa and another villa on the left. didn't feel it when was driving up the slope just now, but when entered the door, found that it was much bigger than it looked.

Gu Xu said while driving: "The building in front of you is the main building. In my grandfather's generation, there were many people in the family. The elders and the next person who took over the Gu family would live in the main building. Behind the main building, there is a relatively small one on the left and right. The villa, where the juniors and uncles lived at that time. There is a garden behind the main building, and there is a two-story building to the west of the garden, which is for servants and bodyguards."

"It sounds a bit like a feudal landowner." Xia Zichen joked. He has only seen this kind of family in the economic history of some European families, and never thought that there is such a family in China.

"Indeed." Gu Xu smiled, "but there are not so many rules at my father's place. The whole family lives in the main building. The building on the left is used by my second brother. He is studying medicine and needs what he needs. There are too many things, so they are regulated separately. The one on the right is used to entertain guests, but it is generally not used."

"Well, it's better for the family to live together, otherwise it will feel too divided." If the Gu family was still the system of big heads, Xia Zichen felt that he would be scared away.

"Well, it's enough anyway." As he spoke, Gu Xu's car had already driven into the parking lot.

There were more than 20 cars parked in the parking lot, all of them were black, and it felt like they were seated by bodyguards. Gu Xu drove inwards along the parking lot, and inside was a row of garages.

Gu Xu scooped out another small black remote and pressed it, and the door of one of the garages slowly rose. Gu Xu drove the car in and turned off the engine.

The garage door slowly fell, and the sensor light on the top of the garage was on. Although there was a light, it was not bright enough.

The two got out of the car, Gu Xu led Xia Zichen to a small door in the garage, pressed the password on the number key next to it, opened the door, and the two walked into a glass corridor.

"From this side, you can go straight to the main entrance of the main building. It's too cold to walk outside." Gu Xu pointed to the field on the right side of the corridor. There was a white plum planted there, and it extended to the villa on the left. In the flowering season, the snow white is beautiful. Even in this confined space, Xia Zichen seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

After walking through the glass corridor for a short distance, the two finally reached the door of the main building.

The well-dressed butler and a few maids were already waiting there. When he saw Gu Xu, he immediately greeted him, "Fourth Young Master, you are back."

"Uncle Fu." Gu Xu nodded and called someone.

Butler Fu turned his attention to Xia Zichen again, "It's Young Master Xia, welcome."

"Hello." Xia Zichen said hello politely. Butler Fu's smile made him feel quite cordial.

"It's cold, come inside." Butler Fu gave way and asked the two to go first, "Master, Madam and Third Young Master are all waiting."

Entering the door, the heating in the house rushed towards him, taking away the coldness from his body.

"Xiao Xu is back?" Hearing the sound, Mrs. Gu Wang Yuehua walked in from the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Is this Zichen? Come in." After speaking, she greeted her. .

Wang Yuehua wore a long champagne-colored dress, a light purple shawl, and her long hair was tied back. A person in his fifties looked less than forty, that is, beautiful, graceful, and very noble.

"Hello Auntie." Xia Zichen greeted politely. Sometimes it's better to not know. Now, standing face to face like this, let Xia Zichen understand what kind of woman is called luxurious. Even if there are no valuable decorations, Wang Yuehua also makes him feel that there is a natural gorgeous temperament and charm.

"Okay, welcome to the house." Wang Yuehua took Xia Zichen's hand naturally, "Come in, why are your hands so cold, is it cold?"

"It's okay." Xia Zichen pursed her lips. For him, who had never received maternal love, Wang Yuehua's words made him both warm and moving.

"So are you, don't give Zi Chen a trick." Wang Yuehua glared at Gu Xu who was behind, and dragged Xia Zichen inside, "Come and warm up."

"It's because you stay too warm at home that you feel that other people's hands are cold. Besides, how could they be hot when they just came in." A man who looked not much older than Gu Xu said as he walked out of the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, he smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Gu Xu's third brother Gu Ao."

"Hello, third brother." Xia Zichen looked at Gu Ao. Gu Ao and Gu Xuchang are not very similar, but with the basics of the Gu family, there is no need to say that their appearance is outstanding. However, compared to Gu Xu, Gu Ao smiled more, but even though he smiled softly, Xia Zichen could feel that Gu Ao wasn't really an easy-going person in his bones. Just like Gu Xu only smiles at him, and basically treats others with a cold face.

"Go, you're poor, give way and let Zi Chen in." Wang Yuehua patted Gu Ao.

Gu Ao smiled and stepped aside, Wang Yuehua took Xia Zichen into the living room.

When Xia Zichen looked outside just now, although the house was magnificent, the white exterior did not reveal anything inside. Every time he entered the living room, Xia Zichen realized what luxury was. After all, it was something accumulated over the years. Every part of the house seemed to reveal the history and strength of the Gu family, but it was not so luxurious that it felt meaningless.

At this time, Gu's father, Gu Zhengqing, was sitting on the single sofa in the living room and saw Xia Zichen who had just entered the door. Gu Zhengqing is also very well maintained. It seems that the years have not left too many marks on his face. Gu Yan and Gu Xu are more like Gu's father, Gu Ao is more like Gu's mother, but the kind of aura on the three of them is It is completely with Gu Zhengqing.

Gu Zhengqing's expression was serious, but not indifferent. After seeing Xia Zichen, his expression softened a little, and he carefully looked at the person Gu Xu brought back.

"Hello, uncle." Xia Zichen greeted. Maybe it is because he has been with Gu Xu for a long time, and he is somewhat immune to the aura of the Gu family.

Gu Zhengqing looked at Xia Zichen for a long time, then nodded and said, "Come and sit here."

Xia Zichen, who was looked up a little nervously, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and replied, "Okay."

Sitting on the couch beside Gu's father, Xia Zichen took the bag from Gu Xu's hand and said, "This is the first time I came to the door, and I don't know what to bring. Small gifts, I hope my uncles and aunts don't dislike it."

"Hey, kid, didn't you say don't bring anything?" Wang Yuehua took the gift from Xia Zichen with a helpless tone, but her eyes were very happy.

"It should be, as long as my uncle and aunt like it." Xia Zichen smiled.

Wang Yuehua scooped out the white scarf with light orange dark stripes, and smiled, "This scarf matches my clothes." Then she put her purple shawl aside, opened the scarf and wrapped it around her shoulders.

This scarf is much more expensive than men's, and it was designed in consideration of the various uses of women, so Wang Yuehua scooped it up as a shawl, and it goes well with the current outfit.

Father Gu also looked at his black one, then nodded with a smile and said, "I like it very much, it cost a lot of money." Then he asked the housekeeper to send it to his closet to put it away.

"You're too kind, just like it." Xia Zichen felt relieved when he looked after his parents and his mother.

"I like it, the things that Zichen sent are practical." Mother Gu sat beside Xia Zichen and squeezed Gu Xu away, "The things you guys send are always flashy, and some don't use it once a year. How good this is, go out I can take it."

Just as he was talking, Gu Yan walked in from outside, wearing a suit, he should have just got off work, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"Big brother." Gu Ao and Gu Xu called out.

"Well, Zi Chen is here." Gu Yan walked over with a smile, and handed over the suit jacket with the bag in his hand to the housekeeper.

"Big brother." Xia Zichen also called out obediently. Compared with the others, he and Gu Yan were much more familiar.

"What did you scoop?" Wang Yuehua glanced at the bag Uncle Fu took over.

"The four boxes of Blue Mountain I ordered last week were just delivered by air today." Gu Yan sat on the sofa opposite Xia Zichen and sat with Gu Ao, "Let Zichen scoop two boxes and give one to his father, Yuze likes it This, they keep a box for their own drinking. Let the second child bring a box to the apartment, and let's drink the remaining one. "

Gu’s family doesn’t like to store more coffee, and it won’t be fresh if stored for a long time, so he always buys a little less every time and buys it after drinking it. What's more, Gu Yan is basically the only one living at home now, and he doesn't need much coffee.

"It's still as thoughtful as you think." Father Gu nodded, agreeing with Gu Yan's arrangement.

"Where's Xiaohan? When will you arrive?" Gu Yan asked.

"Before Xiaoxu and the others came, the second brother got off the plane and had someone pick him up. It should be soon." Gu Ao said.

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, got up and went upstairs to change clothes.

The housekeeper served tea to Gu Xu and Xia Zichen, and Wang Yuehua went to the kitchen to see the dishes.

Gu Zhengqing took a sip of tea and said to Gu Ao who was on the side: "You brother didn't prepare a gift?"

Gu Ao smiled, "How could it be, I originally wanted to talk to Zichen alone later." After speaking, Gu Ao scooped out a world famous car magazine from under the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xia Zichen.

"Brother will also give you a practical one. Pick any car you like here, and I will buy it for you."

Xia Zichen looked at the magazine cover and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He wouldn't dare to drive this kind of sports car, it would definitely be surrounded by people. Besides, the price was definitely not cheap. Even though he was the third brother of the Gu family, Xia Zichen didn't want people to spend money.

"Third brother, I don't know how to drive." Xia Zichen had no choice but to say something more euphemistically.

"Go to school, Brother Qian will give it to you." Gu Ao said with a smile, he was a family member, and he didn't like to spend money, but he was not stingy, and he was even more generous to his own family, so he never thought that Xia Zichen would be burdened.

Xia Zichen pursed his lips, "Third brother, the car is too expensive, so don't spend any money."

"You don't have a lot of money, just pick the one you like. If you don't choose, my brother will decide for you." Gu Ao had an attitude that could not be rejected.

"If your third brother wants to give it to you, just keep it. Anyway, he has nowhere to spend money." Wang Yuehua walked over with a smile, "This is a serious use."

Xia Zichen originally wanted to refuse, but Gu Xu, who was sitting next to him, answered, "That's it, Chenchen and I will think about it again, and tell you if you like it."

"Okay." Gu Ao nodded and let them choose.

The reason why Gu Xu agreed so quickly was because, judging from the gifts that Gu Ao gave him in the past, this car was considered normal today.

Gu Xu received gifts from his third brother on his birthday every year. When he was a child, it was good to say that since junior high school, Gu Ao's gifts were all kinds of guns, cold weapons, and basically grenades.

At first, Gu Xu thought those guns were fake, until one day he scooped them out to take a look, and accidentally shot through the ceiling of the house, only to find out that they were all real weapons. In the end, all these things were packaged and thrown to Gu Yan for disposal. But Gu Ao still happily gave him these things.

Several people were chatting and waiting for the meal, when they heard Butler Fu say at the door: "Second Young Master is back.",

Gu Yan got up first and walked out, Gu Ao followed to the door, Gu Xu got up and pulled Xia Zichen out of the living room.

Gu Han entered the door wearing a gray suit with a wrinkled hem. It was obvious that he didn't have time to change, so he hurried back.

"I'm back." Gu Yan walked over, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold." Gu Han smiled, then greeted Gu Ao and Gu Xu, and the four brothers exchanged greetings.

Looking at the interaction of the four, Xia Zichen was quite envious, this is a brother, the feelings are not in words, but can be seen in actions and smiles.

Gu Han looks more like Gu's mother. When she's not smiling, it's a little cold, but when she smiles, it's gentle and elegant, which makes people feel very comfortable. A pair of rimless glasses obscured the sharpness in his eyes a bit, making him seem to get along better.

After the four of them had finished their chat, Gu Han noticed Xia Zichen standing behind him and smiled, "Is this Zichen? Hello, I'm Gu Xu's second brother Gu Han, welcome to your house."

Xia Zichen also nodded and said hello.

Butler Fu had already scooped in Gu Han's luggage, Gu Han opened the luggage belt above, and scooped out a large box, "There are two sets of health care products in it, both of which our family has been using, and the effect is not bad, you yourself Keep one for my uncle, and ask me for it after eating."

"Thank you second brother." Xia Zichen was a little embarrassed to receive the gift, he was originally a guest. I didn't expect to take away more than what was delivered.

"You're welcome, it's all a family." Gu Han patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder, then entered the room to greet his father and mother, and went upstairs to take a shower.

When Gu Han packed up and went downstairs, the kitchen was just starting dinner.

The meal was very lively. In order to welcome Xia Zichen, the Gu family cooked more than 20 dishes. Xia Zichen felt full after every bite, and Gu's mother and Gu Xu kept serving him dishes. But have to admit, the food tastes really good.

"See when your father is free. Let's meet together." During the banquet, Gu Zhengqing said.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with my father." Xia Zichen replied.

Gu Zhengqing nodded and said nothing more.

After the meal, the family sat in the side hall, drinking coffee brought back by Gu Yanxin and chatting. Xia Zichen was naturally the focus of the topic. Wang Yuehua cared about Xia Zichen in every aspect, and told him some embarrassing things about Gu Xu's childhood.

After a cup of coffee bottomed out, Wang Yuehua said, "In the future, Zi Chen will be our little family. You brothers should be more concerned, and take care of everything that should be taken care of."

"Got it, Mom." Gu Yan responded first, and Gu Han and Gu Ao also nodded.

"Little Yaoer, if you have anything in the future, you can talk about it. It's a family, you're welcome. If Gu Xu treats you badly, tell me, and I'll kick him out of the house." Wang Yuehua said to Xia Zichen.

Xia Zichen was still a little unaccustomed to being called "little", but Wang Yuehua's words still moved him very much. This time, he has a lot of family members, this feeling makes Xia Zichen very satisfied, but also feels a little unreal.

"I won't bully Chen Chen." Gu Xu, who was sitting next to Xia Zichen, said.

"I don't listen to promises, I only look at actions." Wang Yuehua raised her chin at her fourth son.

"Isn't it a little demon?" Gu Ao smiled and said, "I originally thought that the indifferent fourth child would be single for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect the first one to be decided. If it wasn't for the little goblin, how could Zi Chen be in control? he."

Only then did everyone realize that the "little demon" that Gu Ao said was not that "little".

Xia Zichen blushed. He knew that Gu Ao was joking, so he didn't feel angry, but he was a little embarrassed when a man was called a "little goblin".

"You're the only one who talks a lot." Gu Zhengqing patted Gu Ao when he saw it. This son has always been uninhibited, but his work is still stable, and he rarely lectures.

"Don't laugh, maybe you will be the next one under control." Gu Han scooped out a snack and ate slowly.

"I'm always welcome, but the person I'm looking for shouldn't be younger than the little demon, so he's still a little demon." Gu Ao shrugged indifferently, not caring at all.

"Since you're ready to settle down with Xiaomo, although you haven't registered your marriage yet, your current property, Xiaomo, should also be considered your common property, and Xiaomo can enjoy half of it." Gu Zhengqing said.

Xia Zichen was stunned for a moment, then returned to God: "Uncle, I don't want Gu Xu's things."

Gu Zhengqing smiled, "It's not what you want, it's the rights you should enjoy when you join the Gu family."

"I..." Xia Zichen had never thought about Gu Xu's things, but he suddenly mentioned it, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Everyone who enters our house has this right, and my wife will also have this right in the future." Gu Ao said to Xia Zichen with a smile.

"I have already done this and signed the documents, so you don't have to worry." Gu Xu said.

"Ah? When?" Hearing him say that, Xia Zichen was a little surprised. He didn't remember what documents he had signed in this regard.

Gu Xu smiled and held Xia Zichen's hand, "The contract you signed when you came to the company is actually a property distribution agreement, but I replaced the first few pages with an employment contract, you only read the front, not the back at all. Just signed."

Xia Zichen suddenly felt very regretful that he didn't read the document carefully, so that he jumped into the trap named Gu Xu without even the slightest doubt, even if this trap was a paradise for him.

"Okay, I apologize for not telling you in advance, but it's done, don't be angry." Gu Xu whispered.

"I'm not angry, I just don't think I should share your things."

"We're a family, so just worry about this. Even if you didn't sign it before, you still have to sign it when you get married, so you should implement it in advance." Gu Xu tightened Xia Zichen's hand.

Xia Zichen looked at him and nodded.

Gu's father and Gu's mother looked at the two people talking in a low voice, and smiled and said nothing.

That night, the two stayed at Gu's house. In fact, it was also a temporary decision. Mother Gu said that the room was ready, and the two of them could not refuse her good room, so they stayed there.

After taking a bath, the two lay side by side on the bed, Gu Xu turned to look at Xia Zichen who was staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, "Is it not easy to sleep in a different place?"

"No." Xia Zichen smiled and turned to look at him, "I just think today was unexpectedly good. I used to have only my father, then I have you, and now I have so many family members." This is him When I was a child, I dreamed of having a Qi Le Rongrong scene.

Gu Xu smiled, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "We will have more and more family members in the future."

"Well, thank you." Xia Zichen said seriously.

Gu Xu reached out and hugged him, "Thank you too."

"Um."

The bedside lamp was turned off, the bedroom was plunged into darkness, and the two people who were embracing each other slept with a shallow smile on their mouths. Family is a bond, solid and warm...
