Chapter 2461 Gu Jinzhou 161

Saturday afternoon, at the elders’ home.

The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days and the snow has not melted. Dozens of bright red plum blossoms are in full bloom in the snow. The elegant plum fragrance penetrates the cold wind and drifts quietly in the air.

The elder was dressed warmly and was standing by a plum tree admiring it.

The plum blossoms are red and white, very beautiful.

Soon, Yuan Bojun and Gu Jinzhou also arrived.

After exchanging a few words, the few of them walked into a pavilion three meters away. There was a stove in the pavilion, on which hot tea was bubbling, and there were also roasted sweet potatoes, peanuts, hawthorns, chestnuts, citrus fruits, etc.

Yuan Jinzhi was sitting next to the stove, turning the roasted food with a pair of tongs.

Gu Jinzhou glanced at Yuan Jinzhi, whose hands were slightly red from being burned, and wondered if her appearance here was a coincidence or intentional?

If it was done intentionally, it would be a bit like taking advantage of the situation.

Yuan Bojun invited Gu Jinzhou to sit down, and he and the elders also took their seats.

The seat reserved for Gu Jinzhou was right next to Yuan Jinzhi.

Yuan Jinzhi picked up a few roasted chestnuts and placed them on the wooden plate in front of Gu Jinzhou, saying, "Brother Zhouzhou, they are freshly roasted and hot. They are Qianxi chestnuts, soft, sticky and sweet. Try some."

Gu Jinzhou glanced and didn't move.

Yuan Jinzhi reached out and picked one up to help him peel it.

The chestnuts were hot and she gasped as she peeled them.

She looks more like her father Yuan He, with beautiful and regular eyebrows and eyes, not too sweet or weak, but a generous beauty, just like the plum blossoms that bloom in the cold winter, beautiful and bright, yet elegant, without a trace of vulgarity.

Yuan Bojun looked at her while drinking tea.

Gu Jinzhou actually looked down on such an outstanding girl and chose the girl from the Yan family in Jinling instead.

Yuan Jinzhi peeled a few chestnuts and said to Gu Jinzhou, "Brother Zhou, eat them while they're hot."

Gu Jinzhou glanced at it and remained motionless. He just picked up the teacup and sipped slowly.

Yuan Jinzhi was used to his aloofness and was not angry. He then peeled chestnuts for Yuan Lao and Yuan Bojun, and then peeled oranges.

She leaned forward and stuffed the peeled tangerine into the elder's mouth, saying, "Grandpa, eat a roasted tangerine to relieve phlegm and cough."

The elder said yes repeatedly and chewed with a smile.

He likes Jinzhi more among these children. She is not as aggressive as Shenzhi, nor as spoiled as Lin Ning when she was a child. The Yuan family has always been dominated by men and weak by women, so girls are particularly popular in this family.

After a few cups of tea, Gu Aoting still didn't come.

Yuan Bojun couldn't help but ask Gu Jinzhou: "Did your old man get delayed on the way?"

Gu Jinzhou glanced at him indifferently and said, "It's enough for me to come alone. I represent the Gu family with full authority."

Yuan Bojun sighed in his heart. Now that Gu Aoting was here, he could talk to him about the marriage between Gu Jinzhou and Yuan Jinzhi.

How can we talk if Gu Aoting doesn’t come?

Yuan Bojun took a sip of tea from his teacup and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Lu Qi and Jin Yu to be together, but they are well matched. Qi Lian, Shu Tian and Mo He are all very satisfied with this marriage. It seems that their marriage is a foregone conclusion. Young people, it is better to choose a spouse who is well matched. You always think we are old-fashioned, but you don't know that this is the experience and lesson summed up by countless people over thousands of years."

Only then did Yuan Jinzhi realize that his grandfather still refused to give up.

She tilted her head to look at Gu Jinzhou.

Seeing that his already cold features were getting colder, she hurriedly reached for her phone to send him a message: Brother Zhou, I didn't know about it in advance.

Gu Jinzhou glanced at the message and didn't reply.

He looked at Yuan Bojun, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his lips. "I didn't expect that someone of your status would be so anxious. Tell me, what is it that Yuan Jian came to see you about?"

Yuan Bojun had a smile on his face, but he was amazed in his heart at the boldness of this boy. He actually sent people to investigate him?

His villa is heavily guarded, and nearby surveillance footage is not allowed to be leaked without his permission, so his whereabouts are always kept secret.

Yuan Bojun quickly figured out that the brat definitely hadn't found out and was just deliberately deceiving him.

What a cunning boy!

He suddenly felt like he had met his match.

Yuan Bojun drank the tea in the cup, gently put it down, and said with a smile: "Yuan Jian is my nephew. Isn't it normal for a nephew to see his uncle? Not only that boy, but Jingzhi, Qin Heng, and Xiao Zhao also often come to my house to find me and talk to me."

Gu Jinzhou's eyes were cold, like a sword shining with cold light, staring straight into his eyes, "The person who kidnapped Yan Qingxuan is Yuan Jian."

His tone was affirmative, he was drawing a conclusion, not asking a question.

Yuan Bojun's heart sank.

I didn't expect that the brat would suspect Yuan Jian so quickly.

Yuan Bojun picked up the teapot and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. As he poured, he said, "I don't know about this. Yuan Jian came to me and just said that he missed his father very much. We just chatted for a while."

Gu Jinzhou stared at the tea in his hand. "I asked you a question, and you either drank the tea or poured yourself some. What does this mean? It means you are thinking about how to answer in order to clear yourself."

Yuan Bojun's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Little guy, don't try to trick me with your psychology tricks. I don't mean to..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinzhou stood up suddenly.

He stepped out of the pavilion.

The elder extended his right hand to him and said, "Zhou Zhou, have lunch before you leave."

Before he finished saying "go", Gu Jinzhou had already arrived at the gate.

The straight and cold figure is like a sword shining with cold light, a sword that is difficult to tame.

He opened the door and walked out without even saying "goodbye".

Yuan Bojun was very unhappy. The brat was too rude. He hadn't even finished speaking yet!

I wanted to create opportunities for him and Jinzhi, but not only did I fail to do so, I was also tricked by him.

Yuan Bojun looked at Yuan Jinzhi, "Someone has kidnapped Yan Qingxuan and wants to kill Yan Qingyu. The Yan family is completely scared. Gu Jinzhou is single now. If you can't get him with such a good opportunity, don't call yourself Yuan!"

Because she was a girl, Yuan Bojun always gave her some face.

The words spoken today were so harsh that Yuan Jinzhi's face turned red and white.

Yuan Bojun said, "You are not bad-minded, and you are not ugly. We have accumulated such a good family for you for several generations. Why is it so difficult to deal with someone? You should learn from Lin Ning. She can take down Qin Lu, so why can't you take down Gu Jinzhou?"

Yuan Jinzhi bit his lip and said nothing.

Yuan Bojun continued to scold: "Every one of you is useless! Shen Zhi is right, and so are you! Ah, you are a coward, and the children you raise are more cowardly than the last! If I had known you were so cowardly, I would have brought you up by my side and trained you personally!"

Yuan Jinzhi was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head.

The word "cowardly" is too ugly.

She whispered, "My father is not a coward, he is kind."

Yuan Bojun sneered, "Don't make excuses for your weakness! If you have a little bit of your uncle's courage, what can't you accomplish?"

The elder couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him: "Jin Zhi just returned to Kyoto, you should say less."

Yuan Bojun glanced at him and said, "I'm educating my child, you'd better not interrupt. You only have A Zheng in your eyes, and never take Shen Zhi and Jin Zhi to heart."

The elder knew that his eldest son blamed him for the incident with Su Jingyu and was biased towards Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Bojun stood up and gave Yuan Jin a death order: "No matter what, you must capture Gu Jinzhou, otherwise you will be the next one to be abandoned!"

After saying this, he turned around and left.
