Chapter 249: Chapter 249: He Has Been Wrong for So Many Years Chapter 249: Chapter 249: He Has Been Wrong for So Many Years Gu Qingfeng’s gaze and tone were both stubborn.
He seed to want to be more fierce, to overpower Gu Qiaoqiao with his presence, but unfortunately, his voice softened in the end.
This child, impervious to both soft and hard approaches.
Gu Qiaoqiao said indifferently, “There’s no rush about this matter. Let’s talk after I’ve t with Grandma Yu and my father. I can’t make the decision alone. Besides, I have sothing to ask you…”
Gu Qingfeng held back.
After all this ti, she still hadn’t called him Great Grandfather.
That’s not right, in the urgency just now, she had called out.
Maybe she thought then that he wouldn’t make it.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, suppressing a trace of sadness, and said in a deep voice, “Alright, ask…”
“How do you plan to deal with Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng?”
Gu Qingfeng’s brow furrowed, the grudges between the adults were not for Qiaoqiao, a child, to intervene in; she should just be responsible for living a happy life.
“You shouldn’t worry about this. The Great Grandfather has his own plan.”
“Plan?” Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but let out a scoff, her voice cold and sharp, “Are you reluctant to act? Let tell you, my feud with Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng is to the death, and right now, this is just the beginning. So, think carefully before calling yourself Great Grandfather…”
Gu Qingfeng truly beca angry out of embarrassnt.
Ti and again she challenged his limits.
This child, once Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng were ntioned, her whole body instantly bristled with thorns.
Striking whoever she caught.
Both ruthless and accurate.
Directly aiming for the heart.
If Ning Wanru was behind what happened to Gu Tianfeng, he didn’t want Gu Qiaoqiao to be the one to handle it.
He would take care of it.
Moreover, at this mont, he had to admit that over the years, the humble conduct of Gu Cheng and his mother had caused him to lose all his vigilance.
He hadn’t expected that, quietly, Ning Wanru’s influence had grown so large.
Not only had she gathered a number of powerful allies, but in high society circles, Ning Wanru was also a figure of considerable renown.
If Gu Cheng were not limited in capabilities and had a bad reputation, if it weren’t for upright and selfless people like Elder Shen keeping him in check, Gu Cheng might have beco a high-ranking official by now.
At that ti, it would have been even more difficult to deal with them.
Even now it was difficult.
Ning Wanru was patient and resilient, capable of bending and stretching. Gu Cheng had used the Gu Family’s financial resources to build extensive connections in the officialdom. Their eldest son graduated from a prestigious university, and now his future was bright.
In Qingshui County, he had made significant progress in less than two months, forging extensive networks and demonstrating strong work abilities, and appeared to be modest and courteous.
At least on the surface.
With such a Gu Jianhua, it was foreseeable that under his hands, the industries of Gu Cheng and Ning Wanru would climb to new heights.
Gu Qingfeng knew that they had grown to no longer need his clout…
In ti, Gu Jianhua might easily swallow up all that belonged to Gu Qingfeng.
Therefore, this was not a matter that could be resolved overnight. Ice does not freeze three feet deep in one day; to chip through this glacier would not be accomplished in a day’s work either.
This needed long-term consideration.
He had been wrong for so many years.
In the ti that remained, he wanted to make ands for the mistakes he had made.
Moreover, as Gu Qiaoqiao had said, he could not let his descendants take risks.
But if, out of fear, he dared not acknowledge his own kin,
Gu Qingfeng may as well bash his head and die.
It would be a disgrace to live on.
Gu Qingfeng stood up, his hand gripping the cane tightened, and he straightened his back, looking at the seemingly defiant girl, a glint of admiration flickering in his eyes.
But then, he suppressed this flicker of admiration, raised his eyebrows, his expression darkening as he scolded, “Regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not, I am your great grandfather. If you dare speak to with sarcasm or ridicule again, I will discipline you in place of your father!”
