Chapter 18 The Theory of Luck
In the inn that was taken over by the Gu family, in a room that was temporarily emptied as a meeting hall, a middle-aged man in a dark green satin robe patted the table angrily and said:
"I disagree!!"

"Brother Xiucheng, you and I have already discussed this matter, how can we say that we disagree?"

Facing the man's anger, Gu Chengye, who was sitting opposite the man, was very calm and said with a smile.

Tao Yuan Tao Xiucheng, the current head of the Tao family is still furious, pointing at Gu Chengye's nose and saying:
"Deal? Yes! You and I have already negotiated! But what were we discussing at the beginning! Let the illegitimate son of the Gu family in Dan'an City join my Tao family, and then the Tao family will gain a firm foothold in Dan'an City with the help of the Gu family, but now!

"The Gu family in Dan'an City is gone! How can you let my Tao family take advantage of the situation! How can you take advantage of the situation!!"

"Isn't there still our Gu family in Ningzhou?"

"Heh, you Ningzhou Gu family, you can come to help me Tao Xiucheng develop in Dan'an City for the sake of an illegitimate child from a separated family? Tell this kind of nonsense and see if anyone can believe it!"

Tao Yuan said angrily.

He is a concubine of the Tao family in Ningzhou, and the younger brother of the current head of the Tao family in Ningzhou. He originally had some contacts and influence in Ningzhou City, but because of the family struggle some time ago, Tao Yuan lost his right in Ningzhou City .

As a last resort, Tao Yuan had no choice but to go out and establish a branch family. The address was chosen in Dan'an City, which is closer to the center of Ningzhou, and he negotiated with the Gu family in advance to let the local Gu family provide some help.

If you want the Gu family to help, you naturally have to establish a closer relationship with the Gu family. It just so happens that the Gu family in Dan'an City has an illegitimate son. Although it is only an illegitimate child, it is more or less a member of the Gu family. Luo Pingyang, as long as he can get the help of the Gu family, sacrificing his daughter for a son-in-law is nothing.

But Tao Yuan never expected that the Gu family would be wiped out at this juncture!
The Gu family was wiped out, and most of the assets belonging to the Gu family in Dan'an City will be taken back by the main family in Ningzhou, and the rest will be inherited by the legitimate son of the Gu family in Dan'an City who is far away in the academy in the capital. nothing!

With no power to rely on and no assets left, the Gu family still wants their illegitimate son to join their Tao family to separate?

Pooh!Where in the world did such a good thing come from!
"Xiucheng, you have to understand my Gu family's difficulties. Even though I'm just an illegitimate child, if the news of regretting the marriage gets out, it's not good for you and my family, and it's even worse for Qianjin's reputation..."

"Stop talking about these useless things to me!"

Without waiting for Gu Chengye to continue, Tao Yuan waved his hand and said:

"Now I don't need your Gu family's help, just push back the matter of the marriage contract, and treat it as if the marriage contract doesn't exist! I, Tao Yuan, have a way to gain a firm foothold in this city of Dan'an!"

"Brother Tao, don't be so excited, let's talk slowly if we have anything to say."

"I have nothing to say to you now!"

"Ah...Brother Tao!"

Gu Chengye wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the voice of his adopted son Gu Qianjun came from outside the door:

"Father, Gu Chen brought it here."

The corner of Gu Chengye's mouth raised slightly, and he said to the still angry Tao Yuan:

"Look, my nephew is here, Brother Tao, why don't you meet my nephew first?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tao Yuan to speak, he said to Gu Qianjun outside the door: "Come in."

After the words fell, the door was opened, and Gu Qianjun, who had a sword on his waist, walked in with Gu Chen, who looked weak and had a little panic on his face.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, Tao Yuan's eyes fell on Gu Chen. He looked him up and down, and suddenly sneered and said:
"Heh, is this the nephew you mentioned who can be called a dragon and phoenix?"

...a dragon and a phoenix among men?
After hearing this word, not only Gu Qianjun was stunned for a moment, but even Gu Chen was also stunned for a long time.

He knows best what he is like. In his previous life, Gu Chen had only been admitted to a third-rate pheasant university. In the end, he came to this world before he could even find a job.

In this world, Gu Chen is nothing. He has never studied literature or martial arts.

In order to promote himself, did this Gu Chengye brag that he didn't even type a draft?
Gu Chen didn't know how to speak, and of course he didn't need to speak, so Gu Chengye replied to Tao Yuan's words:
"Brother Tao, you can't judge people by their appearance. Do you know what is the most important thing if you want to gain a foothold in this world and succeed?"

"what?"

Although Tao Yuan was angry, when he heard Gu Chengye's question, he still asked subconsciously.

Gu Chengye said with a chuckle: "For ordinary people, in order to successfully accomplish a certain thing, they may need talent, talent, background, and... silver, but for some people, if they want to gain a foothold in the world, they want You only need one thing to be successful.

"That's luck."

When Gu Chengye said this, he pointed to Gu Chen and said, "As for him, I think he is very lucky."

"What nonsense!"

After hearing Gu Chengye's words, Tao Yuan flicked his sleeves to express his complete disdain. He just thought it was Gu Chengye's nonsense in order to let Gu Chen join Tao's family.

But Gu Chengye seemed to really think so, pointing at Gu Chen with a smile and saying:
"Brother Tao, you have to know that my nephew is not born well. He is the son of a prostitute. He was supposed to grow up in the land of willows in Fireworks Lane. With his looks, he might become a rabbit master in the future. Better yet, he is a son of a prostitute. A top card, but that's about it.

"But now, he is lucky enough to stay in the Gu family and become the illegitimate child of the Gu family."

Compared with the experience of becoming a rabbit master in the future, although the treatment in the Gu family is not good, it can be regarded as a big family, at least in terms of status, it is more than ten times stronger than the rabbit master.

Gu Chengye continued: "Now that the Gu family in Dan'an City has been wiped out, he is the only one who survived, and he is the only one who is still alive. Brother Tao, isn't this a kind of luck?"

"Hehe, if he's really lucky, then the Gu family shouldn't be exterminated. Otherwise, even if he is an illegitimate child, after joining my Tao family, I will definitely treat him with courtesy."

Tao Yuan sneered indifferently.

Although the Tao family is also a big family in Ningzhou, it is still not as good as the Gu family. Even if facing the separated Gu family, Tao Yuan must treat him respectfully. No bullying will be done.

So if Gu Chen is really lucky, the Gu family shouldn't be wiped out, at least not now.

"That's wrong." Gu Chengye said suddenly, "Brother Tao doesn't know something. If the Gu family in Dan'an City is still there at this moment, I'm afraid you will never see my poor little nephew again."

"!!!"

As soon as this remark came out, Gu Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and even Tao Yuan looked at Gu Chengye with wide eyes in surprise.

Gu Chengye didn't continue talking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said:
"So Brother Tao, you should go back and think about this matter again. After all, for you, Brother Tao, it seems that there is no other way out."

Tao Yuan's complexion was uncertain, he glanced at Gu Chen again, then stood up and left the room without saying a word.

After the guests left, Gu Chengye put down his teacup. Gu Chen, who was expressionless, asked with a smile:

"What? You seem to be wondering why I just said that?"

"..."

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, he now had some doubts about whether this Gu Chengye knew something, after hesitating for a moment, Gu Chen asked back:

"...what did fourth uncle say just now...?"

"Which one?"

"It's just... the sentence that if the Gu family is still there, they will never see me again..."

Gu Chen asked tremblingly, looking like a child who was afraid of being scolded.
