Alluring City

After all, becoming the mistress of the Gu family is equivalent to holding one-third of the property of the Gu family.

"I say!" After hearing Gu Xiaowu's words, the eldest lady immediately gritted her teeth and said.

Gu Xiaowu found a comfortable position on the imperial concubine chair and sat down, then lazily said: "What's the name of my father whom I have never met?"

"Gu Xizhi." Da Furen was startled, although she was a little unhappy, she still said his name.

When she said this name, there was obviously a trace of hatred flashing across the face of the eldest lady. Obviously, she also had resentment towards this man named Gu Xizhi.

When Dugu Xun heard the word Gu Xizhi, a strange look flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was no stranger to this name.

However, he had only heard about it, but he had never actually met Gu Xizhi.

Gu Xiaowu lowered his eyes, not knowing what it was like.

Gu... Do you cherish it?

It looks like a girl's name!Ah……

"Where is he now?" Gu Xiaowu sorted out his emotions and asked again.

"I don't know." The eldest lady shook her head and said, after thinking for a while, she added: "It should be said that no one may know where he is now. After your mother passed away, he left the Gu family."

"Before he left, he should have explained something, right?" Gu Xiaowu looked calm, as if he didn't feel anxious at all when he heard that his father was missing.

The eldest lady looked at Gu Xiaowu with some surprise, and said after a while: "Yes, he entrusted you to the master before he left, and asked the master to pick you up and return home, in the name of your father. And not No one is allowed to mention his existence in front of you."

"That's all?" Gu Xiaowu asked.

"No, there is more." The eldest lady shook her head and said: "He also said that your marriage is up to you and no one is allowed to intervene."

"Is that so..." Gu Xiaowu lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see her expression clearly.

Duguxun looked at Gu Xiaowu with some worry, and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything at the moment.

It wasn't until the eldest lady thought she would not speak again that she continued: "You guys, do you have any deal with him, right?"

She didn't think Old Man Gu and the others would be the kind of people who would take her in for nothing.

That father of hers must have paid a price, that's why they are willing to accept her obediently!

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then she said in embarrassment: "In exchange for the Gu family, you will be the master's daughter in the future, and we will support you until you get married."

"You mean, the property of the Gu family originally belonged to Gu... It originally belonged to my father?" Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows and asked, almost habitually saying the name of his father whom he had never met, but when he called After uttering the word Gu, he immediately changed his mouth.

"En!" The eldest lady nodded.

Although she doesn't like Gu Xizhi, she has to admit that he is really talented. With his own strength, he made the Gu family the richest family in Tianchen.

Although, that number one position is now in jeopardy.

Dugu Xun felt very surprised, but also very angry.

Is there any father in the world who would rather abandon such a huge family property than his own daughter?

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, but his father has never been so ruthless.

Now, he even feels that his father is probably the best father in the world.

Thinking of this, Dugu Xun looked at Gu Xiaowu with some worry, but saw that she was still very calm.

"Can you draw?" Gu Xiaowu asked in a low voice.

The eldest lady looked at Gu Xiaowu suspiciously, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly asked such an insignificant question.

"Drawing people, can you?" Seeing that the eldest lady was in a daze, Gu Xiaowu asked again patiently.

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then, let's draw a portrait of him, and you can leave after you finish drawing." Gu Xiaowu murmured.

No matter what, she had to find that person, and then ask him personally why she abandoned her mother!

A man who would rather not have such a huge family business than raise a daughter by himself, she was really curious about his reasons!

"This..." The eldest lady looked at Gu Xiaowu with some embarrassment, her eyes full of hesitation.

"Not willing?" Gu Xiaowu slightly raised his voice.

"No, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't draw his appearance at all." The eldest lady said in a low voice: "Although I have been in the Gu family for more than ten years, I have never seen his appearance. These ten In the past few years, no one in the Gu family has seen his appearance. Because he always wears a mask when he is in the Gu family, and he rarely looks back at home, basically living outside. But there is no information about where he lives people know."

Is this...?

Gu Xiaowu was a little disappointed, could she understand that no one had seen her father's appearance for more than ten years?

If this is the case, then looking for a person who only knows his name but not his height and appearance in the vast sea of ​​people is purely looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, in this era, there is no such thing as an 'ID card'.In other words, he only needs to change his name to become a completely different person.

"Since you haven't seen his face, let's draw a picture of him wearing a mask." Gu Xiaowu ordered.

She knows that in this time and space, almost all the girls from rich families have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, so it is not difficult for the eldest lady to draw that person's appearance.

"This..." The eldest lady looked at Gu Xiaowu in embarrassment, since she was going to draw, at least she had to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!There is nothing, what will she use to paint?Where is the painting?

"Wait, I'll get the pen and ink." Gu Xiaowu stood up, then nodded to Dugu Xun who had been sitting silently behind her, and then walked to her boudoir.

Gu Xiaowu quickly took the brush and ink, and even personally laid out the rice paper for Da Furen, and then handed the pen to Da Furen.

The eldest lady took the pen, walked to the table, and while recalling Gu Xizhi's appearance in her mind, she outlined the outline of that person stroke by stroke on the rice paper.

It took nearly an hour for the Da Furen to finally draw Gu Xizhi's portrait, but she hadn't colored it yet.

Gu Xiaowu took the portrait and looked at it carefully.

The Da Furen painted Gu Xizhi very vividly, it can be seen that she puts a lot of effort into the painting.

Through this paper portrait, Gu Xiaowu seemed to be able to imagine what that person looked like.

A man completely different from old man Gu!A man that her mother had missed for more than ten years, a father whom Gu Xiaowu had never met!

The mask covered his entire face, but the exposed eyes were extraordinarily charming.

This is probably the most beautiful pair of eyes that Gu Xiaowu has ever seen.

Although, it's just a drawing.

Looking at the man in the portrait, for a moment, the only word in Gu Xiaowu's mind was the word peerless.

Gu Xiaowu can almost imagine how beautiful the cheeks under the mask are.

Ordinary people would be very excited if they saw the portrait of their own father.

But Gu Xiaowu really wants to laugh now.

Could it be that it was because her father was as beautiful as a flower that her mother never forgot?

Well, anyway, she is getting more and more curious about her father's appearance!

"That..." The eldest lady said softly.

"Huh?" Gu Xiaowu turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Can I...can I go back?" Da Furen asked cautiously.

"Go back!" Gu Xiaowu said lightly, "As long as you don't provoke me again, I don't think I will do anything to you."

As for the family business that that person gave them in exchange for Gu's family, she had no interest at all.

Anyway, no matter how huge the Gu family's family business is, it belongs to that person and has nothing to do with her.

If you really want to say that there is something between them, it's just that he is her ex's father.

Just the ex.

Since he doesn't want to see her so much, why should she go up to him to be hated by others?

But she will still find him, just because she wants to ask for mother, what mother is to him!

Mother's yearning for him for more than ten years can't just be buried in vain.

She, absolutely not allowed!

"It's all settled?" Dugu Xun said playfully after the eldest lady left.

His expression is very calm, no sadness or joy can be seen.

"Well, it's almost there for the time being." Gu Xiaowu shrugged, then handed the still ink-stained portrait to Dugu Xun, jokingly said: "Want to see it? It is said that my father is here."

Gu Xiaowu said it very easily, and he didn't look sad at all, which made Dugu Xun, who was a little worried about her, heave a sigh of relief.

He made a big fuss, and he completely forgot that the little girl in front of him couldn't be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people.

"Looking at it doesn't seem to be a loss to me." Dugu Xun said, then took the portrait and looked at it carefully.

If he guessed correctly, this girl is going to find her cruel father, right? !

However, the reason why she found Gu Xizhi was probably not for herself, but for her gentle mother, right?

However, no matter how powerful she is, it is extremely difficult to find a person who doesn't even know her real appearance in the vast crowd.

Dugu Xun made up his mind in his heart, after returning home later, he will draw another portrait of Gu Xizhi, and then ask the artist to draw more, so that his people can look around.

It is always better to have multiple people looking for it.

Although, he didn't intend to tell Gu Xiaowu about this.

Because Dugu Xun felt that Gu Xiaowu was his friend, and there was nothing wrong with doing something for his friend.

"How is it? Gu Xizhi, that is my father, isn't he beautiful?" Gu Xiaowu asked jokingly.
