Except for a few people who are familiar with it, no one in the upper reaches of Hangzhou City could understand why Zhao Shuai went to Xu Qingtang to have a banquet. However, Zhao Shuai, who was busy with a lot of things, only stayed in Hangzhou City for five days this time, but he took care of Xu Qingtang's business while Xu Qingtang's reputation was damaged. The meaning was already very obvious.

Who else dares to underestimate the restaurant favored by Zhao Shuai?

A few days later, the private rooms on the second floor of Xu Qingtang were filled with seats again.

Qingxi sincerely thanked Liu Yuanyuan, but with Gu Huaixiu's reminder first, Qingxi could only remember this gratitude in his heart.

The news that Zhao Shuai personally entered Xu Qingtang had spread in the upper reaches of Hangzhou.

Old Mrs. Gu heard the wind from her card friends and believed that Gu Huaixiu had joined Zhao Shuai, and then lobbying Zhao Shuai to help the Xu family. The wild breeder who wanted to eat her meat was already very rich, and now he has reached Zhao Shuai, who has strong military power in the three provinces of Jiangnan. Old Mrs. Gu felt so uncomfortable. She lay on the bed. Old Mrs. Gu kept her Buddhist beads and her lips moved every day, begging the Bodhisattva to bless her grandson who had gone abroad to get back soon to get her business.

In March, flowers bloomed, and Old Mrs. Gu rarely felt a little energetic and asked the maid to move the rattan chair to the yard. She sat under the shade of the tree to watch the peach blossoms.

Dingling, the phone in the living room rang. Old Mrs. Gu narrowed her eyes and went to answer the phone with the eldest lady next to her with a smile.

Old Mrs. Gu stared at her daughter-in-law's back. When the eldest lady took the microphone from the maid, Old Mrs. Gu stared at her daughter-in-law's face. She hoped to see her daughter-in-law smile because it indicates good news. However, in a blink of an eye, the eldest lady's face turned pale. Before Mrs. Gu sat up, the eldest lady's eyes flipped and fainted on the sofa beside the phone.

Old Mrs. Gu suddenly had chest tightness, the kind of chest tightness that was almost breathless. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were out of strength. She was so anxious that she asked the maid to help her over. The master and servant stumbled to the phone, but it wasn't hanging up there yet. Old Mrs. Gu grabbed the microphone and said anxiously: "Hey, who are you?"

The other party was a staff member of the Beijing Telegraph Bureau. He had some friendship with the Gu family and said heavily: "Old lady, we just received a news from the UK. Mr. Gu's fleet encountered heavy rainstorms at sea when approaching the English Channel. Several ships sank. Mr. Gu and his crew have no whereabouts so far..."

The vast sea, the boats were overturned, and people...

Her strictness!

Old Mrs. Gu stared at the opposite side with empty eyes. Just as the maid was about to come forward to help her, Old Mrs. Gu's body trembled suddenly, and then she sprayed a mouthful of blood forward!

"Old lady!" The maids were frightened and rushed over together, rushing to support Mrs. Gu before she fell down.

Gu Shiqin and Gu Shichang brothers were shocked to hear the bad news and immediately drove home. The eldest wife was awake, and she was crying with her hair and spreading her hair. When the Gu Shiqin brothers stepped into the door, Mrs. Gu also woke up slowly. In less than half an hour, Mrs. Gu seemed to be a teenager, looking haggard, and seemed to be likely to pass away at any time.

"Shiqin, go and inquire about it, and ask clearly what day the shipwreck was. The news from abroad came slowly. Maybe Mingyan has already rescued him." Without getting the news of his grandson's death, Old Mrs. Gu would not give up for a day. She grabbed the eldest son's hand, cried while talking, and she was flowing down her tears and snot.

Gu Shiqin was in a state of confusion. He would have lost his goods. He could not refuse the properties mortgaged to the bank. At this moment, he was like the old lady, hoping that his only son would come back well!

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go and inquire now. Don't worry, Mingyan knows water, it's definitely okay!" Gu Shiqin held back his tears and comforted his mother with red eyes.

Old Mrs. Gu believed it or not, and tears rolled down in strings.

Gu Shiqin handed over his mother to his second brother, and he hurriedly went to inquire through all his relationships.

However, Gu Shiqin ran until dark and got all the news: Gu Mingyan's fleet encountered heavy rain three days ago. The British dispatched a maritime rescue team to search the sea for a day, but no living person was found. The waves were extremely fast, and with the heavy rain, people and goods were floating wherever they were. The cloth must have been destroyed when it encountered water, and people...

After coming out of the telegraph booth in Hangzhou, Gu Shiqin was in a daze. If the driver hadn't pulled him in time, he would have almost walked towards the car driving opposite him.

The driver helped him into the car. On the way back home, the driver was driving while paying attention to the movements in the back seat. At some point, a man's undepressed cry suddenly came from the back seat, from light to heavy, and finally turned into a beast-like cry.

The next day, major newspapers in Hangzhou published news about the death of the Gu family fleet at sea.

Qingxi saw the newspaper and looked at the clear date in the newspaper, and his arms trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Mingyan is really dead.

Was the fleet killed in a heavy rain a simple accident or what Gu Huaixiu did from it?

If it was an accident, then it would be too coincidental for Gu Huaixiu to discuss Gu Mingyan's life and death with her. If it were not for an accident, how many people were Gu Mingyan and his fleet? Could it be that those people died at the hands of Gu Huaixiu?

Qingxi didn't want to believe it, so she wanted to ask Gu Huaixiu. As soon as she thought about it, Qingxi didn't dare to go, for fear that Gu Huaixiu would admit it.

"It's all fate, don't think about Qingxi." Old Mrs. Xu sighed, took away the newspaper from her granddaughter's hand, and comforted her granddaughter in a complicated mood. In the Gu family, the only ones who disliked Mrs. Xu were Mrs. Gu, the eldest wife and mother of the eldest wife. For Gu Mingyan, in addition to Gu Mingyan's romantic debt during the engagement, Old Mrs. Xu actually liked him very much. Now that Gu Mingyan lost his life at a young age, Old Mrs. Xu was quite uncomfortable.

Gu Huaixiu fought with the Gu family, and Old Mrs. Xu stood on Gu Huaixiu without hesitation, but that doesn't mean that she would be indifferent to Gu Mingyan's death. The worst outcome of Gu Mingyan and his son she had expected before was that the family's wealth was gone and they left their hometown.

Qingxi nodded blankly and went back to her room.

She hoped that Gu Huaixiu would come and tell her that the death of Gu Mingyan's fleet had nothing to do with her, but when it was dark, Gu Huaixiu did not show up.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the people in Hangzhou were discussing the shipwreck.

The hopes of Mrs. Gu, Gu Shiqin and others were also lost in the waiting day after day.

Her good grandson was really dead. Old Mrs. Gu was heartbroken and her head was gray and her hair turned white.

In late March, the Gu family prepared a grand funeral for Gu Mingyan.

Those who have some friendship with the Gu family come to pay their respects.

Gu Huaixiu also came, dressed in black, with a cold expression, but in such an atmosphere, his silence and coldness seemed to be sad. Most people were kind, and there were gradually more voices in the crowd: "After all, they are close uncles and nephews. The nephews died, so it's sad that those who are uncles and uncles are not harmed. Gu Shaoke has never harmed the third master..."

Old Mrs. Gu pounced on the coffin and cried loudly, without hearing the other people's comments. She didn't even see Gu Huaixiu until Gu Huaixiu walked in front of her.

Old Mrs. Gu cried and stared at Gu Huaixiu with red and swollen eyes. She was sure that it was Gu Huaixiu. Old Mrs. Gu rushed over like crazy: "It was you, you who killed my Mingyan! If you hadn't robbed our business, how could Mingyan go out to sea in person... You, a bastard, why didn't you burn the fire to death with you back then?"

Her arms were hugged by her two sons. Old Mrs. Gu stared at her eyes tightly and cursed Gu Huaixiu with the most vicious words she could think of. But while cursing Gu Huaixiu, she unconsciously exposed what she did to Gu Huaixiu and his son when she was young. Gu Huaixiu looked at Old Mrs. Gu with expressionless face. When Old Mrs. Gu cursed hoarsely, he touched Gu Mingyan's coffin, smiled bitterly, and said to Gu Shiqin: "Brother, why do I want to steal your business? You and your mother know. Mingyan went to sea today and died. Although it was not what I wish, it was because of me."

"You deserve to die!" Old Mrs. Gu roared hoarsely.

Gu Shiqin supported his mother and thought that Aunt Lu was killed by her mother and her son died by an accident, he really couldn't take his anger on the third brother.

Gu Huaixiu understood what he meant. He nodded to Gu Shiqin, then turned around and said to all the guests present: "From today, all my grudges with the Gu family are eliminated. After Dongsheng Textile Factory completes the existing orders at hand, it will be closed permanently. I, Gu Huaixiu, will never get involved in the textile industry."

After saying that, Gu Huaixiu led his nephew Lu Duo and left resolutely.

Gu Shiqin looked at the back of his half-brother in shock.

Old Mrs. Gu still cursed hoarsely.

The guests on both sides looked at each other and secretly admired Mr. Gu San's character. The textile factory was built for revenge. Such a profitable factory. Today, because his nephew died, Mr. Gu San actually announced that all his grudges had been eliminated and even the textile factory business was not done. Mr. Gu San's withdrawal from the textile industry means that Gu Shiqin can make a comeback soon.

After Gu Huaixiu's decision was reported, it once again caused a frenzy of discussion among the people of Hangzhou, and soon a textile industry businessman confirmed that Dongsheng Textile Factory did reject all new orders.

Some people admire Mr. Gu, while others laugh at Mr. Gu as being too stupid and destroy the textile factory that made a big profit.

Old Mrs. Xu didn't laugh. She was the kind of person who scolded Gu Huaixiu. When she heard that Gu Huaixiu wanted to close the textile factory, she instigated Qingxi to persuade Gu Huaixiu to stop being impulsive. Qingxi ignored her grandmother's blind idea and stayed alone in the boudoir. Gu Huaixiu took the initiative to close the textile factory, which further showed that the death of the Gu family's fleet was related to him.

What kind of person is her fiancé? She can kill so many innocent people for personal revenge, and because of revenge, Qingpiaopiao shut down the textile factory where everyone is jealous and regards money as dirt.

Qingxi suddenly felt that she didn't understand Gu Huaixiu at all.

She still liked him and wanted to marry him, but she was a little afraid of Gu Huaixiu who killed someone without blinking.

When Qingxi was at home, Gu Huaixiu came to the Gu family's old house again that night.

Gu Shiqin was still immersed in the pain of losing his son and forced himself to see him.

"I want to see the old lady." Gu Huaixiu said indifferently.

Gu Shiqin was wary: "What are you going to do?" My mother was exhausted and could not withstand any blows now.

Gu Huaixiu looked at him and said, "There is a saying that I want to tell the old lady in person."

Gu Shiqin was afraid that his mother would be stimulated and refused.

"Mr. Gu, if you still want to see Mr. Gu, I advise you to get out of here." Lu Duo hugged Gu Shiqin's shoulder with a smile and whispered in his ear.

Gu Shiqin looked at Gu Huaixiu in disbelief.

Gu Huaixiu had already gone to the yard of Mrs. Gu Shiqin wanted to keep up, but Lu Duo pressed his gun against his back and pulled the person to the sofa for tea.

Old Mrs. Gu had not yet slept, and as soon as her grandson died, she had insomnia and could not sleep all night.

There was footsteps outside, and the maids screamed and immediately disappeared. Old Mrs. Gu noticed something was wrong, but what did it matter? Even if the King of Hell came to take his life and she wouldn't care if she had no grandson.

But Old Mrs. Gu is not afraid of the King of Hell, she hates Gu Huaixiu!

When the door panel was pushed open, Gu Huaixiu's face was exposed without any expression. Old Mrs. Gu sat up suddenly, grabbed the pillow and threw it at Gu Huaixiu: "Get out! Get out of here!"

Gu Huaixiu did not avoid it, and Old Lady Gu did not throw away the pillow accurately. Old Lady Gu still wanted to make trouble. Gu Huaixiu moved his hand and the gun fell out of his cuff. He caught it, turned it briefly and pointed the gun at Old Lady Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu's lips trembled.

Gu Huaixiu walked to the bed step by step. His eyes were free from anger or joy. He was as cold as the ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years on the top of Cangshan Mountain. I am afraid that the King of Hell, who is in charge of hell, would be like this.

"You want to kill me?" Old Mrs. Gu sneered.

Gu Huaixiu also smiled, looking at the old woman on the bed, like looking at an ant: "I won't kill you, I just want you to quietly listen to me tell a story."

Old Mrs. Gu looked at him fearlessly.

Gu Huaixiu put the gun on the center of her forehead and said calmly: "Don't move, otherwise I will shoot before the story is finished."

Old Mrs. Gu spat: "Stop playing this set for me, just let it go if you have a big fuck!"

Gu Huaixiu was not angry, pulled the trigger and successfully shut up the old lady Gu. He stared at Mrs. Gu condescendingly and said slowly: "Twenty years ago, there was an eight-year-old child who accompanied his mother to the temple to burn incense and met a robber halfway. In the bandit's nest, the child saw his mother being humiliated, saw his mother die under the gun, and also saw with his own eyes that the place where his mother fell was burned into a sea of ​​fire."

Old Mrs. Gu smiled and showed pride. She did it and she never regretted it.

Gu Huaixiu ignored her smile and continued: "Later, the child grew up, and he came back to seek revenge on the old lady who killed his mother. But he knew that killing the old lady would hurt the most, and he didn't want to get the old lady to take advantage of the old lady, so he decided to take revenge on the old lady's favorite grandson."

Old Mrs. Gu's pupils shrank, and she was about to open her mouth when the gun on her forehead suddenly stuffed into her mouth!

Old Mrs. Gu's whole body was trembling.

Gu Huaixiu smiled and stared at the blood-filled eyes of the old lady Gu: "The old lady's grandson went out to sea, and the revengeful people hired a pirate he had made, asking them to take action on a stormy night. The fleet capsized, and the old lady's grandson and all the crew were taken to the island where the pirates lived. When the time came, the crew would return to the country safely, but the old lady's grandson would be endlessly humiliated by pirates who like men liked... "

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu's eyes were bleeding and tears, she went to catch Gu Huaixiu desperately. Gu Huaixiu threw the gun, pinched the back of Mrs. Gu's neck with one hand, and pinched the old lady's chin with the other hand, and then told a story: "Pirates are all strong. The old lady's grandson was seriously ill in pain that ordinary people could not imagine, and was dying. The pirate threw him into the burning firewood pile, and the old lady's grandson swallowed his last breath in the sea of ​​fire. But he died with his eyes open, and he died injustice. Before he died, he must have thought, why did the evil his grandmother committed back then be repaid on him?"

Old Mrs. Gu went completely crazy and screamed like ghosts and wolves howling. Gu Huaixiu let go of her. Old Mrs. Gu didn't go to catch him anymore. She looked around with her hair disheveled, suddenly rushed over and hugged the pillow, crying with grief and regret: "Mingyan, grandma, I'm sorry for you, grandma, I'm sorry for you, don't be afraid, grandma, grandma, go find water, grandma, go to extinguish the fire on you!"

After crying, Old Mrs. Gu jumped out of bed with her pillow in her arms, fell down and got up again, and went barefoot to find water.

The eldest wife, Gu Shichang and his wife rushed over after hearing the news, and pushed the crazy old lady Gu back to the bed and tied it up.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Shiqin rushed to Gu Huaixiu with tears in his face. He wanted to hate him but was not qualified. He was not grateful and his heart was like a knife.

Gu Huaixiu looked at him coldly: "I want you to leave Hangzhou and not come back in your lifetime."

Gu Shiqin was stunned.

"Let's leave before the end of the month, and when you arrive in the UK, your family will be reunited."
Chapter completed!
