Seeing that Gu Shao didn't answer, Xu Bei raised her voice slightly and called out, "Professor?"

Gu Shao frowned.

Shen Sheng said: "Let it go."

"Ah, okay." Xu Bei hurriedly put the information in his hand on the table in front of Gu Shao.

Xu Bei stood aside and hesitated, not knowing whether to leave or stay, and then turned to look around, trying to find a place to sit next to Gu Shao.

Xu Bei's gaze fell on the girl beside Gu Shao.

It was also at this time that Gu Xi finished remembering the latest technology that Professor Chen had just mentioned on the podium, and raised her head slightly.

Noting that the person next to her hadn't left yet, Gu Xi subconsciously glanced at the other person.

"You—!" Seeing Gu Xi, Xu Bei exclaimed in a low voice. Obviously, at the first glance, she recognized that the girl in front of her was the one she had seen in Gu Shao's office.

Today, Gu Xi pulled a ball on her head, and she looked even more immature in the tender pink sweater that Gu Yanlin bought for her.

Xu Bei looked at Gu Xi more suspiciously: How does she feel that this girl is not too old, or even looks like a college student at all? But if you are not a college student, how can you explain that the other party followed Gu Shao to attend the lecture?

Seeing Gu Xi sitting next to Gu Shao, Xu Bei's eyes flashed with envy.

Xu Bei's voice obviously interrupted the lecture in the venue. Therefore, when Xu Bei was wondering, Gu Shao glanced over and said, "Go out."

"Huh?" Xu Bei's face was slightly stiff, and he nodded helplessly: "Okay."

Although Xu Bei felt a little unwilling, she could only withdraw from the venue as Gu Shao said.



As soon as Xu Bei left the venue, she ran into her senior sister at the door.

"Sister Zhou."

Seeing Xu Bei, this Senior Sister Zhou frowned: "Why did you send a material for so long?"

Zhou Qingyan is two years older than Xu Bei, and he is in the same class as Xu Bei and Chen Ziyang. Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to entrust Zhou Qingyan with the task of'substitute assistant', but because Zhou Qingyan had just passed the school assessment and officially started the internship The teacher's work was really too busy, so Chen Ziyang had to find Xu Bei again.

"Just now I found that the order of the materials was a bit wrong, so I reorganized it again, so it was a little late." Xu Bei explained.

Xu Bei can be said to be very careful in doing this, but Zhou Qingyan feels unreasonable about the other party's self-assertion, and always feels that it is not right.

In the end, Zhou Qingyan nodded and said nothing.

Zhou Qingyan glanced towards the venue, and was about to leave.

At this time, he was held by Xu Bei.

"By the way, Senior Sister Zhou, I want to ask you something..."

"what?"

"That girl," Xu Bei pointed to Gu Xi next to Gu Shao, and asked, "Is she Professor Gu's assistant?"

Hearing Xu Bei's question, Zhou Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "How is it possible? You see how old she is."

Even if Gu Xi is a genius and has the ability to be an assistant, Gu Shao cannot hire child labor.

"That's Professor Gu's daughter." Zhou Qingyan covered her mouth and explained with a light smile.

Hearing this, Xu Bei was shocked, and her eyes widened.

"Female, daughter?!" Xu Bei was shocked: How could Professor Gu have a daughter?

Xu Bei couldn't accept it for a while. She always thought that Professor Gu was still single. After all, she had never heard of Gu Shao getting married, let alone having such a big daughter.

"I didn't know it until last semester." Zhou Qingyan said-Gu Shao didn't spend much time in school, and his usual style of behavior was not high-profile. Therefore, other people knew about Gu Shao's personal situation. not much.

Even if Gu Shao took Gu Xi to the school several times last semester, most of them were in Gu Shao's own research center, and it was on weekends.

Zhou Qingyan: "Don't you find that Gu Xi and Professor Gu look alike?"

Xu Bei shook her head: "No..." She never thought that Gu Shao would have such a big daughter, so how could she go back and pay attention to the appearance of the two. Besides, she actually didn't see Professor Gu very often.

Zhou Qingyan murmured something like "Gu Xi is very smart" and "I won a prize before participating in the competition." Xu Bei didn't pay attention to it, but felt that his heart was mixed at this moment.

Xu Bei smiled dryly, and asked Zhou Qingyan seemingly casually: "Then Professor Gu's wife should be very good too, right?"

Hearing Xu Bei's words, Zhou Qingyan was stunned, and then lowered his voice slightly, "By the way, I really haven't heard about Professor Gu's wife."

"That's right," Zhou Qingyan couldn't help but gossip about what he thought of: "When I heard our professor and Chen Ziyang talk before, Chen Ziyang said that it seemed to say that Gu Xi was with her mother before and was picked up. of."

Xu Bei's eyes moved: "Do you mean...?" Gu Xi's mother, it is very likely that either is gone, or he broke up with Gu Shao or divorced early? !

"It's all possible." Zhou Qingyan waved her hand and said. Compared with Xu Bei's concern, Zhou Qingyan didn't seem to care much. Obviously, he didn't intend to study the private affairs of another professor in depth.

"Let's go." Zhou Qingyan called Xu Bei, ready to leave.

Xu Bei shook her head, smiled at the other party, and said, "Sister, please go back first. I'll wait here. After the lecture is over, I will see if Professor Gu has any materials that I need to help him pack. Go."

Hearing that, Zhou Qingyan didn't care, blinked at Xu Bei, and smiled: "You are planning to take a lecture here."

"Ah, yes, this was discovered by the senior sister." Xu Bei smiled dryly.

"Those who understand, are all people who come here." After all, such lectures are all delivered by bigwigs, and it is very beneficial to listen to them.

After Zhou Qingyan left, Xu Bei was left standing outside the venue alone, looking into the venue from time to time.



One hour later, the lecture was over and Gu Shao was going to leave with Gu Xi.

Before Gu Shao left his seat, Xu Bei ran in and walked in front of Gu Shao.

"Professor, do I need to take these materials back for you? Or send them to your office?" Xu Bei asked.

"No need." Gu Gu Shao said two words lightly, then glanced at the information in his hand: Since Gu Xi is so interested in these contents, he can just take it home and give her reference materials.

After all, Gu Shao put the pile of materials directly into the schoolbag that Gu Xi had brought back, then took the schoolbag from Gu Xi's back and took it in his own hands.

After weighing the weight in his hand, Gu Shao frowned: How many things is this girl carrying in the schoolbag, so heavy?

"What about today's lecture materials? There should be materials on the lecture site later, or should they be sent to NTN?" Xu Bei asked persistently.

Gu Shao wrinkles slightly every day: "No, send it to my research room and give it to Assistant Wu."

"Ah, good professor."

Seeing that Gu Shao was leaving, Xu Bei felt that there was still a lot to say, but he quickly said: "Professor, go slowly."

When she looked at Gu Xi, Xu Bei put on a friendly and affectionate smile, and shook her hand to say goodbye to Gu Xi: "Goodbye, Xixi."

Gu Xi was dumbfounded by the other party's sudden "familiarity", and she was puzzled, and replied without embarrassment, "Goodbye."



On the way back, Gu Xi quickly forgot the embarrassment of this moment.

In the car, Gu Xi swiped her phone attentively.

At this moment, a hand stretched over, blocking Gu Xi's sight, and he listened to Gu Shao saying seriously: "Don't look at your phone in the car."

"Oh..." Gu Xi replied, but still secretly glanced at the phone again.

This report is still talking about the Lin family.

Recently, the news of Lin's family on the Internet has been refreshed, and it is difficult for Gu Xi not to notice it.

Although, with the conclusion of Lin Yize’s verdict and Lin’s bankruptcy, the news about the Lin family has dropped a lot, but there are still many people who are willing to treat the Lin family’s affairs as a topic after dinner—Gu Xi just read it. The report that arrived is about Lin Yize's verdict.

Although it's already a solid matter, there are still a small group of people in the comment area speculating whether Lin Yize will be fine in the end.

With a trace of anxiety hidden in Gu Xi's heart, she turned her head to look at Gu Shao.

"What's the matter?" Gu Shao asked.

"Lin Family, is it really cold completely?" Gu Xi asked.

"En." Gu Shao gave Gu Xi an affirmative answer.

Despite this, Gu Xi still feels a little ignorant: After all, Lin Yize is also the hero in the novel, with a dazzling halo. In the novel, Lin Yize has also encountered many crises, but every time he turns into good fortune and turns defeat into victory.

Now, this person is so gone, it seems a bit unreasonable?

"Will he be okay in the end? He was released again?" Gu Xi asked, after a pause, and added: "That is, someone on the Internet said that this matter may be reversed. Maybe he found some reason. Will be acquitted."

Gu Shao lowered his head and glanced at Gu Xi: "No, Lin's problem and Lin Yize's charges are well-documented, and there will be no so-called reversal."

Then...

"Are you a display of justice?" Gu Shao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Hearing this, Gu Xi smiled weakly: "No..." In some ancient novels where the three views burst, law and the like really don't exist for the protagonist, but now this is the real world.

"Will Gu Yaobai save him?" Gu Xi asked nervously.

Gu Shao replied affirmatively again: "No."

At the same time, Gu Shao sneered secretly: Gu Yaobai is too busy to take care of himself now, where is the ability and energy to manage Lin Yize's life and death.

Gu Xi didn't know why Gu Shao was so sure. It wasn't until a few days later, through a certain news report, that Gu Xi knew that Gu Yaobai had attacked the Gu family.

—Since the relationship with Xie Hongbo, Gu Yaobai has not been completely unprofitable.

In the name of the Sun family, Gu Yaobai has done many charity projects over the years, but the money did not come from the Sun family, but Xie Hongbo.

In the name of public welfare projects, Xie Hongbo's some unseen money was successfully laundered, while Gu Yaobai received both fame and fortune.

Just a few days ago, at a public welfare project publicity meeting, Gu Yaobai suddenly mentioned in an interview that he was the Gu family, his father's friends, past memories, and so on.

On the surface, it seems that Gu Yaobai is just talking about his family memories, but through the details, people can smell a different breath.

After some scrutiny, those with the intentions quickly figured out the Gu family's problems, and with it came various rumors of Gu family corruption and Gu family Gu Qinghua's collaborating with the enemy.

Gu Yaobai's influence is not large, and the rumors are mostly limited to the speculation stage. Therefore, the whole matter did not cause much disturbance in public opinion.

If you buy the navy, it seems too deliberate.

This was in Gu Yaobai's expectation, and his original target was not those netizens.

He only needs to throw away the leads, and those who are interested will naturally notice-such as people in the power circle, people in the business circle, people who have had a history with the Gu family, and people in the upper echelons.

No wind, no wave. With the rigorous level of those above, once they hear these rumors, they will surely investigate the Gu family secretly. At that time, the letter he submitted to Mr. Gu and some of the business credentials of Gu family will become the most powerful. evidence.

These alone are certainly not enough to bring down the current Gu family, but at that time, Gu Yaobai firmly believes that Xie Hongbo will take action against the Gu family. With his evidence, coupled with Xie Hongbo's relationship, the Gu family will definitely be completely wiped out.

At that time, he took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the Gu family's overseas business to earn in one fell swoop, and the country used Xie Hongbo's relationship to prove that he was not related to Gu Qinghua.

In this way, fame, wealth and wealth are all his Gu Yaobai.



Gu Yaobai had a good idea, but unfortunately, he underestimated the Gu family's defenses against him, and even more underestimated his acting skills.

As the rumors of the Gu family's corruption began to spread, another rumor that was almost forgotten by everyone was turned over again: Gu Yaobai was not the biological child of the Gu family.

Because of this rumor, Gu Yaobai lost several big deals.

Now, this rumor has risen again and once again put Gu Yaobai in trouble.

And rich secrets themselves are more likely to arouse a rush of public opinion than the sensitive issue of corruption.

Therefore, once the rumors came out, they once again became a hot topic in the circle.

The rumors intensified. Some said that Gu Yaobai was raised by the Gu family, some said that Gu Yaobai was the child of Gu's enemies, and even that Gu Yaobai was the illegitimate child of Gu Qinghua. There are all kinds of rumors.

Not only Gu Yaobai's business was affected, but even the Gu family was also affected.

Originally, Gu Yaobai thought that for the sake of the Gu family's reputation and business, the Gu family would act to suppress public opinion, or directly deny it.

However, this time Gu Yaobai was wrong.

-Just when the public opinion became more bizarre, Mr. Gu came forward, did not suppress public opinion, did not denounce the rumors, but directly admitted.

The clarifications made by Mr. Gu directly showed that Gu Yaobai was indeed not the child of the Gu family, but the child of his former comrade-in-arms. Because his mother died of illness, he was adopted by the Gu family.

Elder Gu said most of what happened at the time, only to say how Gu Yaobai came and the three words "Xie Hongbo".

Gu Yaobai did not expect that he would be defeated by the Gu family.

Some people even made a detailed analysis of Gu Yaobai's speech in the interview before, and believed that Gu Yaobai deliberately harmed the Gu family.

Suddenly, the incident reversed, and Gu's family was safe, but Gu Yaobai became a white-eyed wolf who bite back in the eyes of others.



While Gu Yaobai was very angry, the old man Gu took the news in his hand and read with gusto.

"Dad can do this." In the study, Gu Xuan looked at Old Man Gu with a brilliant expression, and said with emotion.

As soon as he said this, Mr. Gu's eyes rolled.

"Of course, otherwise, why do you think I have indulged him for so many years? I am really confused?" Old man Gu snorted, then squinted his eyes and muttered, "I'm not doing charity."

The reason why Mr. Gu has been so indulgent to Gu Yaobai over the past few years is that he has turned a blind eye on many things. Although there is indeed a trace of kindness to hope that the other party will know how to return when he is lost, it is more to let Gu Yaobai relax his vigilance.

If Gu Yaobai had half of Xie Hongbo's caution and fear of Gu family, he would never throw out the weight in his hand so easily and let Gu family take the initiative.

As for the reason why Mr. Gu did this, of course, it was not as simple as dealing with a mere Gu Yaobai.

Gu Yaobai is not important. Father Gu's real purpose is to Xie Hongbo.

After learning that Gu Yaobai was Xie Hongbo’s biological son, Mr. Gu continued to maintain respect for the teacher on the surface, and he did not hesitate to agree to the other party’s request, help the other party to conceal the matter with Gu Yaobai’s biological mother, and withstand the pressure to adopt Gu Yaobai.

All this was just played by Mr. Gu for Xie Hongbo.

Since then, Mr. Gu has become wary and hostile towards Xie Hongbo, but he couldn't do the other side at that time.

For so many years, Xie Hongbo remained silent, and Mr. Gu was not a bit courageous.

Xie Hongbo wanted to use Gu Yaobai's hidden bomb to destroy the Gu family, so the old man Gu also used Gu Yaobai to lure Xie Hongbo into a trap.

"Now, Xie Hongbo should have trouble sleeping and eating." Old Master Gu said leisurely, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes that hadn't been seen for many years.

Gu Xuan and several people on the side were dumbfounded after hearing Father Gu's explanation.

"High!" Gu Xuan sighed.

Gu Shao also glanced at the old man.

Even Gu Feng on the side could not help saying: "You have played this game long enough."

Originally, they thought that in the affairs of Xie Hongbo and Gu Yaobai, Father Gu was a fan of the authorities, so in order not to affect the mood of the father, they would avoid the father most of the time.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Gu was the last one to play this game of chess.

"Old Gu Tou's elegance is not diminished back then." Gu Xuan whispered to himself again: Sure enough, any impetuous retired old man does not exist, it is an illusion.

"That is, this is to let you know that Jiang is still hot."

When the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand to look at the time, frowned, and then made a call, and learned that the three of Gu Xi were still playing outside, the old man jumped up from the chair.

"What time is it, I don't know yet to come back!" The old man said as he walked out quickly with a cane.

Gu Xuan: "..." He retracted the above sentence.
