Chapter 435: Guide the Way
He looked at Gu Yunxuan with a pair of sneaky eyes and then said with a low voice, “Yunxuan, are you following them, Ruxue is getting married, and there is a lot of work to be done.”
He was warning him. If he did follow them, then Gu Yunhe was not going to protect him any more at the Gu Mansion, and Gu Yunxuan was never going to have any position in the mansion when he became the master of the whole mansion.
Zhou Huaijin frowned as he took a step forward, seeing that Gu Yunhe was threatening someone right in front of him.
Gu Chaoyan gripped him and slightly shook his head.
Gu Yunhe was asking the Second Brother to make a choice. If the Second Brother decided to follow Zhou Huaijin, then the two brothers would be rivals from this moment on. If he chose not to, then Gu Yunhe was still going to make Gu Yunhe run errands for him. And Gu Yunxuan was never going to end up well being Gu Yunhe’s pageboy.
Gu Chaoyan had no intention of interfering with this matter. She would like Gu Yunxuan to make his own choices.
Gu Yunxuan was a very excellent man who cared about her. So for this reason, Gu Chaoyan was willing to offer Gu Yunxuan an opportunity so that he could stand out in the future, rather than getting tormented and made use of by the people at the Gu Mansion. And she hoped that Gu Yunxuan could make this choice on his own.
Standing there, Gu Yunxuan knew that despite his self-demeaned personality, he was not a stupid man.
Chaoyan promised to give him a job, though small and hard, it could be a great opportunity for him. He did not think that he was worse than others. And he did not want to work with a heartless man like Gu Yunhe.
So without much hesitation, Gu Yunxuan added. “Elder Brother, you are a very capable person, and I am sure that you have done all for Ruxue’s wedding, and you must be able to handle all the problems that might possibly pop up.”
Having said the words, he turned to Zhou Huaijin and clenched his fists.
Zhou Huaijin nodded, then he started to head in the other direction.
Gu Yunhe looked annoyed – what did this Gu Yunxuan think he was doing? Ruxue was his sister, who was marrying Lord Ling, but Lord Ling never called him Elder Brother at all! On the other hand, Gu Yunxuan was just a concubine’s son and he was not even born by Gu Chaoyan’s mother! Why did Lord Huai call him like that?
Now he knew clearly what was going on. As long as Gu Yunxuan chose Lord Huai, he was going to be offered better opportunities and he was going to exceed him in the future, but he was the Elder Son, the lineal Young Master of the Gu Mansion, Gu Yunxuan should never exceed him! Gu Yunhe was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly.
Seeing Gu Yunxuan leaving, he spoke loudly, “Gu Yunxuan, are you disobeying me? Have you forgotten your father’s words?!”
Zhou Huaijin threw a cold glare at Gu Yunhe.
He ceased walking and asked expressionlessly, “Young Master, are you saying that I am doing something wrong?”
Gu Yunhe s.h.i.+vered. He did not take Lord Huai into consideration as he was shouting at Gu Yunxuan.
He showed a regretful and angry expression on his face. “No, no Lord,” he said and then said happily, “I am just thinking that Gu Yunxuan might not have any knowledge of what is going on there, so I am thinking about guiding you there instead.”
“Okay, then, come and guide the road,” Zhou Huaijin said expressionlessly.
