The arrogance of the city

Chapter 159 Germination
Spring and Autumn Washington.

Gu family villa.

Jiang Bo, who had rushed back from the Warring States Office, was returning to Gu Qingcang.

Without missing a single word, he recounted all of Li Futu's words and deeds at that time.

After listening silently, Gu Qingcang picked up his teacup and said softly, "A natural born leader."

"At the helm, I think he will conquer the Warring States much earlier than we thought."

Jiang Bo's words were full of meaning.

Gu Qingcang's eyes were calm, noncommittal.

"Excellent, I'm really curious what this young man did abroad before..."

"At the helm, the subordinates have been investigating, but they still can't find any clues, as if there is a hand in the dark that erased his past."

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After a long time, clues will eventually be revealed."

Gu Qingcang suddenly smiled, "Jiang Bo, do you know what that Daomadan from Chuanshu said to me when he left?"

"Bamboo Leaf Green?"

Jiang Bo shrank his eyes and shook his head frankly, "This subordinate doesn't know."

Gu Qingcang rubbed the teacup unconsciously with his fingers, and said with a smile: "She said don't forget her wedding wine when the time comes."

Jiang Bo was taken aback when he heard the words.

"What a wonderful man."

Gu Qingcang sighed softly, then looked at Jiang Bo and said, "Okay, you go down first, and help me call Qingcheng in."

"Yes."

Not long after Jiang Bo left, Gu Qingcheng knocked on the door and walked in.

"grandfather."

Gu Qingcang smiled and nodded: "Girl, sit down."

Although she has lived with her grandfather almost since she was a child, Gu Qingcheng felt that her grandfather's eyes looked a little strange at this moment. She sat down on the mahogany chair in front of the desk, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

"Girl, today's funeral has worked hard for you."

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, "Grandpa should be the hardest one."

Looking at Gu Qingcheng who had grown into an adult step by step with his own eyes, Gu Qingcang looked kindly, "I saw you at the funeral just now and seemed to have something to say to grandpa. Now there are no outsiders, so you can say it."

Gu Qingcheng opened his mouth, and then bit his lip again, appearing hesitant to speak.

Gu Qingcang took a sip of tea, "But it's okay, in front of grandpa, you never have to feel embarrassed."

Gu Qingcheng clenched her hands, "I want to know what grandpa really thinks."

Gu Qingcang raised his eyes, "Girl, to be more clear, Grandpa doesn't quite understand what you mean."

"Is it true that you gave the Warring States House to Li Futu just to thank him? Is there no other reason?"

Gu Qingcang frowned slightly. "Then what do you think Grandpa's purpose is?"

"I do not know."

Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath, "Grandpa, you have already used him to achieve your goal. The Wang family has collapsed, and your confidant's serious trouble is gone. Why don't you let him go?"

Gu Qingcang's eyes are like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts. "Is this what he asked you to tell me?"

"No."

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, "This is my idea, I think it's our Gu family's business, and he shouldn't be involved."

Gu Qingcang looked at Gu Qingcheng for a while, then suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said with emotion: "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay, and I started to think about him so soon."

Gu Qingcheng's expression froze, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously avoided Gu Qingcang's gaze.

"I don't understand what Grandpa is talking about."

"You have been smart since you were a child. You know what I'm talking about."

Gu Qingcang stared at her, as if he could see through the depths of Gu Qingcheng's heart, "Actually, that's not what you've been trying to say, is it?"

Gu Qingcheng's hands were unconsciously mixed together,
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, girl, grandpa can tell you today, you guessed right, grandpa does have the idea of ​​bringing you and Li Futu together."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes shrank, and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

"Actually, I don't need to hide it from you anymore. Grandpa has already mentioned it to that kid. Do you want to know how he responded?"

Gu Qingcheng's gaze immediately looked over, even though she deliberately pretended to be calm, the anxiety and anxiety surging in those eyes still revealed the true emotions in her heart.

Gu Qingcang saw it and sighed inwardly.

What a silly girl, she clearly moved her heart but dared not admit it.

"Unfortunately, he declined."

Gu Qingcheng's fingers clenched subconsciously.

"Girl, it's not all a bad thing for him to refuse. At least it shows that he doesn't care about things outside of him, and he won't choose to be with you against his will because of factors such as power and wealth. This also proves that he is indeed a man worth entrusting."

Gu Qingcang finally chose to be open and honest.Because he felt that if this dragged on, the silly girl would probably keep lying to herself, and the relationship between the two would not make any progress.

Now in his mind, Li Futu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for his grandson-in-law, no matter in terms of ability, heart, character, and city.

And the most important thing is that his granddaughter also happens to fall in love with him, this marriage can be said to be a match made in heaven.

"..."

Maybe it was because Gu Qingcang's words were too sudden that he didn't have time to digest them, or maybe because he had nothing to say, Gu Qingcheng fell silent.

"Girl, sometimes you need to take the initiative in your relationship, and you need to fight for your own happiness."

Gu Qingcheng bit her lip, and finally opened her mouth: "Grandpa means... let me pursue him?"

Gu Qingcang nodded: "Gu's daughter, you should dare to love and hate."

"But he has already rejected you, and I can see that he doesn't seem to like me."

"If you don't like it now, it doesn't mean you won't in the future. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a word as love for a long time. And he obviously has a crush on you, that's enough."

Gu Qingcang didn't seem to realize that it was appropriate for an elder to say such words to his granddaughter, he said in a leisurely manner: "What you have to do is to let this goodwill sprout and blossom, and then bear fruit, women chasing men, interlayer yarn , and Grandpa believes that you are no worse than any girl."

Gu Qingcheng's white and greasy cheeks couldn't help showing a touch of blushing. Grandpa's words were simply too direct and naked, as if no one wanted him.

But it goes without saying that Gu Qingcang's words were like a pile of firewood, making the flame in Gu Qingcheng's heart that had been suppressed or deliberately ignored suddenly become raging.

She lowered her eyebrows, "That guy...is he so good in Grandpa's heart?"

Gu Qingcang smiled leisurely: "How could the person my granddaughter finally fell in love with be so bad?"

Gu Qingcheng didn't know how she got out of the study, she went back to her room and sat in front of the dressing table.

The blood diamond that Li Futu gave was still in its most original form, and she hung it in the most conspicuous place on the dressing table.

Staring at the magnificent piece of blood diamond, gradually, Gu Qingcheng's eyes seemed to be infected by a magical power, and slowly became coquettish.
