60 Chapter 60(1/2)
On Saturday evening, Gu Xu drove Xia Zichen home. ˋˊ Considering that his family had just arrived in City N yesterday, he needed to make a jet lag, so he didn't get early.
The main house of Gu's family in City N is located in the south of the city. Although it is a bit far away, it has a very good geographical location and a quiet environment. You can walk to the beach in a five-minute walk, and the safety measures are also quite strict.
Before Xia Zichen went, he only heard Gu Xu briefly describe it to him, but Xia Zichen still felt very shocked when he actually entered the area that belonged to the Gu family.
The car drove up the hillside. Among the branches where the leaves had fallen, Xia Zichen was already vaguely able to the villa above the mountain. It was already late, and the street lights on the roadside were turned on as soon as possible, illuminating the road very brightly.
Not long after, the car drove to a thick hollow iron door. Gu Xu took the ** placed in front of the steering wheel, pressed it, and entered a password. After confirmation, the door opened to both sides.
Gu Xu drove in and the door slowly closed.
"It's quite high-end." Xia Zichen glanced at the door behind and smiled. In fact, he was still a little nervous. Even though he had made himself mentally prepared last night, it had some effect, but he still wouldn't be as calm as if he was going home.
"There are many safety measures at home, and it's a bit troublesome. I'll tell you how to do it later." This place is a bit far from the station, so they usually drive back by themselves. In order to avoid the trouble of ringing the doorbell, the children of the Gu family will have a gate password. Each password has a different password. After being recognized by the electronic system of the gate, the door will automatically open.
After entering the gate, there is a large yard. Due to the cold weather, most of the plants in the yard are bare, and only a circle of dwarf pine decorates the green scenery.
Gu Xu turned the car left and drove around the villa along the four rows of repaired lanes. At this location, you can already see the main building of the villa and another villa on the left. I didn't think it was just now when I drove up the slope, but when I entered the door, I found that it was much bigger than it looked.
Gu Xu said while driving: "The building in front of me is the main building. When my grandfather was in his generation, there were many people in his family. The elders and the next person who took over the Gu family would live in the main building. There was a relatively smaller villa on the left and right behind the main building. At that time, the juniors and uncles lived in the back. There was a garden behind the main building, and there was a two-story building to the west of the garden, for servants and bodyguards."
"It sounds like a feudal landlord." Xia Zichen joked that he had only seen such a family in the economic history of some families involving Europe, and never thought that there would be such a family in China.
"It's true." Gu Xu smiled, "But there are not so many rules when it comes to my father. The whole family lives in the main building. The building on the left is for my second brother to use. He studies medicine and needs a lot of things, so he has to regulate it separately. ˋˊThe one on the right is used to entertain guests, but it is generally not used."
"Well, it's better for the family to live together, otherwise it will feel too distant." If the Gu family still had the same system as the parents, Xia Zichen felt that he would be scared away.
"Well, it's enough to stay anyway." As he spoke, Gu Xu's car had already driven into the parking lot.
More than twenty cars were parked in the parking lot, all of which were black. It felt like the bodyguards were sitting in. Gu Xu drove in the parking lot, and there was a row of garages inside.
Gu Xu took out a small black ** and pressed it. The door of one of the garages slowly rose. Gu Xu drove the car in and turned off the engine.
The garage door slowly fell down, and the sensing light on the roof of the garage was on. Although there were lights, it was not much brighter.
The two got out of the car, Gu Xu led Xia Zichen to a small door in the garage, pressed the password on the numeric keys next to it, opened the door, and the two walked into a glass corridor.
"You can go directly to the main entrance of the main building when walking from here. It's too cold outside." Gu Xu pointed to the land on the right side of the corridor, where a piece of white plum planted, extending all the way to the villa on the left. It was the season of blossoming, and it was snow-white and beautiful. Even in this confined space, Xia Zichen seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
After walking through the glass corridor for a short walk, the two finally arrived at the gate of the main building.
The housekeeper and a few maids were already waiting there. When he saw Gu Xu, he immediately came forward, "Fourth Young Master, you are back."
"Uncle Fu." Gu Xu nodded and called out.
Butler Fu turned his gaze to Xia Zichen again, "It's Young Master Xia, welcome."
"Hello." Xia Zichen asked politely, but Mr. Fu's gentleman's smile made him feel quite friendly.
"It's cold, come into the house quickly." Butler Fu gave in and asked the two to leave first. "Master, Madam and the Third Master are waiting."
After entering the gate, the heating in the house rushed towards him, sweeping away the coldness on his body.
"Is Xiaoxu back?" Hearing the sound, Mrs. Gu, Wang Yuehua walked in from the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Is this Zichen? Come in quickly." As she said that, she came up to meet her.
Wang Yuehua wore a long champagne dress and a light purple shawl with long hair tied behind her head. A person in his fifties looked less than forty, both beautiful and graceful and very noble. ˋˊ
"Hello aunt." Xia Zichen greeted politely. Sometimes I don't know it. Now standing face to face now makes Xia Zichen understand what kind of woman is called luxurious. Even if there is no valuable decoration, Wang Yuehua also makes him feel a natural gorgeous temperament and charm.
"Okay, welcome to your home." Wang Yuehua naturally grabbed Xia Zichen's hand, "Come in quickly, why is your hand so cold? Is it cold?"
"It's okay." Xia Zichen pursed his lips. For him, who had never received maternal love, Wang Yuehua's few words made him both warm and touched.
"So, so, I won't take a trap for Zichen." Wang Yuehua glared at Gu Xu behind her and pulled Xia Zichen into it, "Come and warm up."
"It's because you stayed too warm at home that you feel that others were cold. Besides, they just came in from outside, how could it be hot?" A man who looked no bigger than Gu Xu said while walking out of the living room. After seeing Xia Zichen, he smiled and said, "Hello, I am Gu Xu's third brother Gu Ao."
"Hello, Brother Third." Xia Zichen looked at Gu Ao. Gu Ao and Gu Xu did not look very similar, but they were basically the Gu family, so there was no need to say that they were outstanding. However, compared with Gu Xu, Gu Ao smiled a little more, but even if he smiled very gently, Xia Zichen could feel that Gu Ao was not a truly easy-going person in his bones. Just as Gu Xu only smiled at him, he basically had a cold face to others.
"Go, you're just poor-mouthed, let Zichen go in." Wang Yuehua photographed Gu Ao.
Gu Ao smiled and moved away, Wang Yuehua took Xia Zichen into the living room.
When Xia Zichen was looking outside, although the house was spectacular, the white appearance could not tell anything inside. Once he entered the living room, Xia Zichen realized what luxury was. After all, it was something accumulated over the years. Every part of the house seemed to reveal the history and strength of the Gu family, but it was not too luxurious so that it felt uncontent.
At this time, Gu’s father Gu Zhengqing was sitting on the single sofa in the living room and looking at Xia Zichen who had just entered the door. Gu Zhengqing was also very well maintained. It seemed that time had not left too many traces on his face. Gu Yan and Gu Xu were more like Gu’s father, while Gu Ao looked more like Gu’s mother, but the aura of the three of them was completely following Gu Zhengqing.
Gu Zhengqing's expression was very serious, but not cold. After seeing Xia Zichen, his expression was a little softer and he carefully looked at the person Gu Xu brought back.
"Hello, uncle." Xia Zichen greeted. Perhaps because he had been with Gu Xu for a long time, he had some immunity to the Gu family's aura.
Gu Zhengqing looked at Xia Zichen for a long time before nodding, and said, "Come here to sit down."
Xia Zichen, who was a little nervous after being beaten, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and responded: "Okay.ˋˊ"
Sitting on the couch beside Gu’s father, Xia Zichen took the bag from Gu Xu’s hand and said, “I don’t know what to bring for the first time when I’m here. I hope my uncle and aunt don’t dislike him.”
"Hey, you kid, didn't you say don't bring anything?" Wang Yuehua took the gift from Xia Zichen, and his tone was a little helpless, but his eyes were very happy.
"It should be, as long as your uncle and aunt like it." Gu Xu smiled.
Wang Yuehua took out the white scarf with light orange dark patterns and smiled and said, "This scarf is just right for my clothes." As he said that, he put his purple shawl aside, opened the scarf and wrapped it on his shoulders.
This scarf is much more stylish than the men's style. It is designed with the diverse uses of ladies, so Wang Yuehua also uses it as a shawl, and it matches the current clothes.
Father Gu also looked at his black one, then clicked Guan and smiled, "I like it very much, I've spent a lot of money." Then he asked the butler to send it to his closet to put it in his closet.
"You are so polite, just like it." Xia Zichen was relieved to see that Gu's father and mother liked it.
"If you like it, it's still practical for Zichen to give me." Gu's mother sat next to Xia Zichen and pushed Gu Xu away. "The things you guys have always given you are gorgeous but not practical, and sometimes you can't use them once a year. How great is this, you can bring them when you go out."
As he was talking, Gu Yan walked in from outside, wearing a suit that must have just gotten off work, "Dad, mom, I'm back."
"Brother." Gu Ao and Gu Xu called out.
"Well, Zichen is here." Gu Yan walked over with a smile and handed the suit jacket that the bag in his hand was taken off to the butler.
"Brother." Xia Zichen also called someone obediently. Compared with others, he and Gu Yan were much more familiar with each other.
"What can I get?" Wang Yuehua glanced at the bag that Uncle Fu took.
"The four boxes of Blue Mountain I ordered last week were just airlifted today." Gu Yan sat on the sofa opposite Xia Zichen and sat with Gu Ao, "Let Zichen take two boxes and one box for his father. Yuze likes this, and they keep the one box for themselves. Let the second child take one box to the apartment, and let the left one box let us drink it ourselves."
The Gu family doesn’t like to store too much coffee. It won’t be fresh after not drinking it for a long time, so they always buy less every time and buy it after drinking it. What’s more, Gu Yan is basically the only one living in the family now, so there is no need to spend much coffee. ˋˊ
At first, Gu Xu thought that the guns were all fake, but one day he took them out and took them out and accidentally shot through the ceiling of his house. Then he realized that they were all real weapons. In the end, these things were packed and thrown to Gu Yan for processing. But Gu Ao still enjoyed giving him these things.
Several people were chatting and waiting for dinner when they heard Butler Fu say at the door: "The Second Young Master is back."
Gu Yan got up first and walked out, Gu Ao followed him to the door, Gu Xu got up and pulled Xia Zichen up and walked out of the living room.
Gu Han entered the door in a gray suit, with a wrinkle on the hem of his clothes. Obviously, he didn't have to change it in a hurry, so he hurried back.
"I'm back." Gu Yan walked over, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Gu Han smiled, then greeted Gu Ao and Gu Xu, and the four brothers greeted each other.
Seeing the interaction between the four people, Xia Zichen was quite envious. This is brother. Good relationships are not spoken in words, but can be seen from actions and smiles.
Gu Han looks more like Gu's mother. He is a little cold when he doesn't smile, but he smiles gentle and makes people feel very comfortable. A pair of frameless glasses make the sharpness in his eyes a little bit blocked, making him look better.
After the four people finished greetings, Gu Han noticed Xia Zichen standing behind and smiled and said, "Is this Zichen? Hello, I am Gu Xu's second brother Gu Han, welcome to your home."
Xia Zichen nodded and asked.
Butler Fu had already taken Gu Han's luggage in. Gu Han opened the luggage belt on it and took out a big box. "There are two sets of health products in this place, which our family has been using. The effect is pretty good. Keep one for yourself and give one to my uncle. After eating, I will ask me for it."
"Thank you, second brother." Gu Xu was already embarrassed to receive the gift. He was originally here to visit. Unexpectedly, more people took away than they were sent.
"You're welcome, it's all a family." Gu Han patted Xia Zichen on the shoulder, then went into the house to say hello to Gu's father and mother, and then went upstairs to take a shower first.
When Gu Han packed up and went downstairs, the kitchen was ready to eat.
The meal was very lively. In order to welcome Xia Zichen, the Gu family made more than 20 dishes. Xia Zichen felt full every time she ate. Gu’s mother and Gu Xu kept picking up food for him. But I have to admit that the taste of the dishes was indeed very good.
"Look at what day your father has time, let's meet together." Gu Zhengqing said during the meal.
"Okay, I will make some reservations with my father." Xia Zichen responded.
Gu Zhengqing nodded and said nothing more.
After dinner, the family sat in the side hall, drinking the coffee brought back by Gu Yanxin while chatting. Xia Zichen was naturally the focus of the topic. Wang Yuehua cared about Xia Zichen in all aspects and told him some embarrassing things about Gu Xu when he was a child.
After a cup of coffee, Wang Yuehua said, "From now on, Zichen will be our youngest. You brothers should care more about it and take care of all the places you should take care of."
"I understand, mom." Gu Yan responded first, Gu Han and Gu Ao nodded.
"Little boy, just talk about anything in the future. You are all a family. You don't have to be polite. If Gu Xu treats you badly, you can tell me, and I will expel him from the house." Wang Yuehua said to Xia Zichen.
Xia Zichen was still a little uncomfortable with being called Xiaoyao, but Wang Yuehua's words still moved him. This time, he had a lot of family members, and this feeling made Xia Zichen very satisfied and felt that it was not unreal.
"I won't bully Chenchen." Gu Xu, who was sitting next to Xia Zichen, spoke.
"I don't listen to the promise, I just look at the action." Wang Yuehua raised her chin at her fourth son.
"Isn't it a little demon?" Gu Ao smiled and said, "I originally thought that the fourth brother would have to be alone in this life, but I didn't expect that the first one would be the one who decided that Zi Chen would not be able to control him if he wasn't a little demon."
Only then did everyone realize that the "little demon" that Gu Ao said was not the "little girl".
Gu Xu blushed. He knew that Gu Ao was joking, so he didn't feel angry, but a man was called a "little fairy", which still made him a little embarrassed.
"You're just talking too much." Gu Zhengqing saw that he had photographed Gu Ao. His son was never used to being scrupulous, but he was quite steady in his work, so he rarely preached.
"Don't laugh, maybe you will be the one who is controlled next." Gu Han took a piece of dessert and ate slowly.
