Chapter 168: Being Handsome Is All That Matters!
The brother and sister, Mengyao Gu, were both very surprised by their first taste of cola.
There was no particular feeling with the first sip.
However, as they continued to drink, they found themselves wanting more and more.
Gu Qingheng’s reaction was the most obvious.
Being still a child, he simply couldn’t refuse this kind of beverage.
Afterwards, Gu Yu was not stingy and directly handed his younger brother-in-law a bottle of cola, along with a bag of potato chips.
After Gu Yu reminded him not to be seen by outsiders, Gu Qingheng thanked him with a delighted expression and scurried away with the items.
This left Gu Yu and his little wife to continue their affection, before rolling around on the bed to discuss how to manage a business worth hundreds of millions.
Gu Yu felt both pain and pleasure from this, but thankfully he had prepared for it.
There were a few prescriptions in the Medical Scripture that were specifically for this situation…
After quickly taking the pills, Gu Yu immediately displayed his prowess, causing his little wife to be completely defeated and repeatedly cry out that she couldn’t take anymore.
However, usually it was Mengyao Gu who bullied Gu Yu, and this time he finally had a chance to counterattack, so Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t give up!
The spring night was short, and dawn arrived in the blink of an eye.
This time, Gu Yu was not standing at the door with his hand on his back, sighing at life. Instead, he was refreshed and stood tall, thinking that he must prepare more pills.
The tables had turned, and he was singing!
A single word, “satisfaction,” expressed his inner joy.
However, medicine always had some side effects, so it couldn’t be taken frequently.
Three or four pills a week should be enough.
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Yu walked slowly towards his father-in-law’s courtyard, with his hands clasped behind his back, wanting to give Gu Qing a heads-up in advance.
Although the idle nobles and children of the elite in the capital were not to be feared, it was better to avoid any avoidable dangers in advance.
Gu Yu didn’t want anything to happen to his father-in-law, otherwise Mengyao Gu would be very sad…
Although Gu Yu wanted to strike first.
However, thinking about the silver in the gambling house, Gu Yu felt that he was still too young and couldn’t sit still!
At most, after this matter was resolved, he would give Gu Qing half of the silver he earned from the gambling house.
After all, even though Gu Qing was an official in the capital, he had not accepted any bribes, so there was very little extra income.
It was barely enough to maintain their life, but luxurious spending was out of the question.
Of course, given Gu Qing’s personality, he wouldn’t do such a thing.
However, it was better to have silver in hand, and it would save him from any unexpected situations in the future… when he needed money, it would be too late to gather it.
With these thoughts, Gu Yu arrived at Gu Qing’s courtyard, but he did not see Gu Qing there.
When he saw a servant passing by, Gu Yu immediately asked, and only then did he learn that Gu Qing had accepted an invitation from an old friend yesterday and had not returned home directly after the morning court, but had gone to his friend’s house as a guest.
Hearing this, Gu Yu thought to himself that his luck was bad this time, and he had come for nothing!
However, Gu Yu did not leave immediately.
Instead, he found a chair and moved it into Gu Qing’s courtyard, preparing to wait for his father-in-law to return.
Anyway, he had nothing else to do.
Returning to his own courtyard meant continuing to read the Medical Scripture, and it was the same here. Gu Yu didn’t want to come again, so he decided to wait for Gu Qing to return!
Thinking like this, Gu Yu leaned back in the chair and comfortably read his book under the warm sun, everything was so leisurely and free.
Of course, at times like this, someone always appeared to spoil the mood.
At this very moment, Gu Yu encountered one.
Seeing a man in a light blue robe appear before him, Gu Yu raised his hand and moved the Medical Scripture away from his eyes, then raised his eyebrows curiously, wondering why this person had come to the Gu Residence?
Judging from the way he climbed over the wall, this person was clearly not a guest who had come to submit a visiting card to the Gu Residence.
However, Gu Yu was not afraid at all and continued to sit leisurely on the chair.
Propping up his chin with one hand and placing a finger near the red mole by his eye, he calmly looked at the approaching person.
With the space to protect his life, Gu Yu was not worried about anything happening to himself.
However, he was very curious as to why this man had come.
After all, it had been a long time since he had met such an arrogant guy.
He trespassed into someone else’s house without any disguise and just boldly came over… Seeing the man’s handsome and dashing appearance, Gu Yu couldn’t help but snort inwardly, thinking that being handsome was all that mattered!
He himself was also very good-looking!
“Where is Gu Qing?”
The newcomer was also somewhat surprised by Gu Yu’s calm demeanor.
This man sitting on the chair, upon seeing him, had not shown any panic!
Such a calm performance was truly interesting!
However, the important matters came first.
Otherwise, if his master found out, he would be locked in a forbidden area as punishment.
Thinking about being locked in the forbidden area and only being able to eat mushrooms and grass roots for sustenance, he decided to find the lost treasure quickly!
“You’re looking for my father-in-law? He’s not here, but you can tell me about it, maybe I can help.”
Seeing that the man in the blue robe did not immediately take action, but instead spoke the name Gu Qing, Gu Yu was stunned and wondered when his father-in-law had offended someone?
It should be known that the Gu Residence had strict defenses, and coupled with the guards secretly sent by Bai Qian to protect him… this man in the blue robe had appeared without anyone knowing, which obviously meant he had powerful martial arts!
Gu Yu did not want to worry about this kind of unstable bomb exploding at any time.
It was better to resolve it directly.
However, there was no rush now.
He would chat for a bit, get the other party’s intentions out, and figure out what was going on.
“You are Gu Yu?”
“Yes.”
“Your father-in-law stole some of my things. I’ve come here personally to get them back.”
“…”
After hearing what the man in the blue robe said, Gu Yu’s eyes immediately showed surprise. He never knew his father-in-law had another side to him!
Gu Yu had always thought… Gu Qing was an upright and incorruptible good official, and that he would not accept any bribes in his life.
A perfect good person template!
But now, to hear that his father-in-law had stolen something from someone else, he was truly taken aback!
Just looking at the seriousness on the man in the blue robe’s face, it was clear he wasn’t lying.
Moreover, he disdained lying.
This made things difficult… or not at all.
For Gu Yu, whether his father-in-law killed someone or stole a treasure, they were still his own people.
If others wanted to deal with Gu Qing, they would have to get past Gu Yu first.
“My father-in-law is not only a great man, but also a law-abiding good official. I wonder what treasure he stole from you?”
“It’s not much, just intercepted some cargo escorted by a镖局 (bodyguard agency).”
“镖局?”
After hearing what the man in the blue robe said, Gu Yu suddenly had a very bad premonition.
As he listened, it sounded like something that guy Qiu Ju would have done…
