Chapter 662: 662 is waiting to come to the banquet

Fortunately, Old Master Gu had long been accustomed to his favorite grandson’s morbid appearance and shifted the topic with composed ease.

"The medicine you brought out today..."

Thinking of the miraculous effects of the medicine, his deep and sharp eyes gleamed with a profound light.

Gu Yingzhou: "That medicine was made by Tangtang, using very precious herbs. That was the only one; she doesn’t have any more."

He wasn’t sure if the girl had made it, but... rather than offer an explanation he couldn’t provide, he preferred to believe that Tangtang had personally made the medicine.

Gu Lu was just curious and didn’t want to delve deeper. His gaze flickered as he said, "My injuries are severe, and I need to stay home to recuperate, at least for a month or two.

By the way, do you still have any of the healing medicine that Tangtang made?"

Gu Yingzhou, shrewd as a die, immediately understood his grandfather’s intention.

"I do. I’ll bring it to you later."

At this moment, his eyebrows and eyes fully relaxed.

The grandfather was planning to push down the whole affair with the life-saving pill!

Gu Lu grunted, "...Your wife is also a member of the Gu family; how could I not find a way to protect her."

Even if he had his own motives, he wouldn’t harm his own family.

Gu Yingzhou, who rarely spoke gently, said, "Of course, I believe in Grandfather. You are open-minded and have lived a life as clear as the wind and the moon, upright to the country above and caring for the family below, the role model I look up to my entire life."

The shock was particularly profound when a man who never spoke of affection suddenly did.

Gu Lu had heard plenty of flattery in his life.

But now, hearing his favorite grandson utter these rare words, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Yingzhou actually speaks such gentle words, you’ve found a good partner. I thought you would be cold as ice forever, hahaha..."

Gu Yingzhou frowned slightly, "Grandfather, you’re still injured; don’t laugh so hard you split the wound."

"Alright, alright, I won’t laugh."

-

Highly positioned, Gu Lu’s network was intricate and complex. When targeted, his opponents struck to kill.

Logically speaking, at his age, with such severe injuries, death was the only expected outcome.

But who would have thought that Gu Yingzhou just happened to have a medicine that would not only save the old man’s life but also rejuvenate him several times over.

Old Master Gu hadn’t left home in a long time, and his behind-the-scenes enemies rejoiced, waiting to come over for a feast.

But instead of a feast, they were met with a ferocious counterattack from the Gu family.

Overnight, several powers crumbled to dust.

Many who once wielded great influence faded into the background, taking their "if only" fantasies and regrets of involvement, becoming just another face in the crowd.

After learning of Gu Yingzhou’s actions from a good friend, pride swelled in Gu Lu’s heart.

"Good, he went straight for the jugular; Yingzhou did well."

He was indeed the successor he had wanted to cultivate: decisive in action and interconnected in plans, suitable for this line of work!

The man on the other end of the phone looked envious but couldn’t help commenting, "Don’t you think he was too ruthless?"

Of course, it was just a rhetorical question.

In their world, it was kill or be killed.

Victory was everything; means were secondary.

Gu Lu snorted, "Ruthless? I nearly lost my life; Yingzhou merely disrupted their plans, where’s the ruthlessness in that."

As he spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"My grandson avenged me; aren’t you just jealous, old man?"

There was a silent moment on the other end of the line.

Then, with a "click," the call was cut off.

Gu Lu nonchalantly hung up the phone, humming, "Humph, I knew you’d be jealous, Old Li."

For a moment, the old man was incredibly satisfied with himself.

Such a pity he was still ’recuperating’; otherwise, he’d have already paid a visit to his old friend.

Gu Yingzhou had taken care of the family’s affairs in Grandfather’s stead, building up connections. Since returning to Jing City, he had been extremely busy.

However, he made sure to call Anping County every few days, no matter the circumstances.

"Have you finished with your tasks?" The girl’s soft, clear voice came through.

Gu Yingzhou, lounging on the sofa in a good mood, smiled, "Most of it’s done; there’s just a little bit left."

Unlike the convenient telephones at the Gu family, Lin Tang had to be mindful of the time at the Textile Factory’s phone room.

Getting right to what mattered to his significant other, he said, "Your grandparents have settled in well. They were a bit uncomfortable at first, but these past few days it seems they’re getting used to it..."

"I’ll visit them every few days, so don’t worry. You handle your things first; just be safe."

The girl’s words of concern reached his ears, deepening the smile in Gu Yingzhou’s eyes.

A gentle tenderness spread from his cool, clear eyes, shimmering brilliantly.

He missed Tangtang.

"You’ve worked hard," he affirmed her care sincerely, his deep chuckle spilling from his lips, "I should be done here in at most three days, and then I’ll come back."

...

Whatever was said on the other end, Gu Yingzhou actually laughed out loud, his amusement clearly visible on his face.

Seeing his grandson’s expression, Old Master Gu knew he was on the phone with his granddaughter-in-law.

He walked over with swift steps and casually took the phone from Gu Yingzhou’s hands.

His voice intentionally softened, "Is that Tangtang? This is Grandfather."

Lin Tang was momentarily surprised and responded with a laugh, "Hello, Grandfather, how’s your health?"

"Good, very good!" Old Master Gu said cheerily.

He exhibited none of his usual grandeur that he held with his own grandchildren.

"As long as you’re well. I’ve mailed a few bottles of Medicinal Wine over; make sure to check for them. A cup before bed is beneficial to your health," Lin Tang said.

An elder in the family is a treasure indeed.

With Old Master Gu around, the Gu family could stand tall amidst the storms.

Moreover, as the dear relative of her fiancé, she naturally cared a lot about him.

Old Master Gu was fortunate to have received the Medicinal Wine mailed by his grandson before, but due to the rough travel, despite being well-packed, some bottles were broken, leaving only one intact.

The sole bottle that remained was greedily claimed by the old man, not letting Gu Yu or anyone else have a taste.

Knowing how extraordinary his future granddaughter-in-law’s Medicinal Wine was, Old Master Gu immediately rejoiced.

"Really? Great! Thank you, Tangtang. But you made sure they won’t break, right? Don’t want to waste your kind effort."

Lin Tang: "No, they’re in a box, packed very tightly."

Old Master Gu was reassured, "Tightly packed is good..."

After a bit of chat, and with time running close and others waiting in line, Lin Tang bid goodbye.

Ah, not having a phone at home is really inconvenient.

Gu Yingzhou watched as the call was hung up, his lips pressing into a tight line.

At least that ’goodbye’... should have been said by him, right?!!

The emotions in his eyes almost took physical form, which Gu Lu noticed, turning his head to ask, "What’s the matter?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yingzhou was expressionless.

Gu Lu touched his nose nonchalantly and said, "Tangtang didn’t mention you."

"Whoosh—" it was as though an arrow pierced his chest, leaving Gu Yingzhou overwhelmingly frustrated.

"If it weren’t for you hogging the phone the whole time, would there even be a moment when Tangtang didn’t have the chance to say a few words to me?" Gu Yingzhou retorted.

"A young man in conversation, and there’s an old guy constantly butting in; isn’t that inappropriate?"
