Chapter 3198 Shen Tianyu 598

The next morning.

Shen Tianyu escorted Yuan Jinzhi to her workplace.

On the way back, he made a detour to the Gu Group, where he had something to discuss with Gu Beixian, and had already made an appointment by phone in advance.

The moment he stepped into the group's building, everyone who saw him was stunned!

Gu Jinzhou and Gu Chufan were already top-tier handsome men, but this one had an even more impressive presence and was so handsome that he seemed otherworldly.

The moment he entered, he gave off a refreshing feeling, and the atmosphere of the entire hall changed.

Most of the staff working on the first floor are receptionists, building security guards, and reception staff, so it's difficult for them to have any contact with Shen Tianyu on a regular basis.

They stared at Shen Tianyu in disbelief, not even realizing what was happening, before he had already reached the elevator.

The receptionist, holding the elevator card, jogged over, her face flushed. She wanted to look at Shen Tianyu but didn't dare, and asked shyly, "Sir, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Shen Tianyu arrived six minutes earlier than the agreed time.

The people Gu Beixian sent to meet him haven't come down yet.

Shen Tianyu said, "Find Gu Beixian."

"You're the chairman's..."

"grandson."

If it were anyone else, the receptionist would definitely have called to confirm, but looking at Shen Tianyu's handsome face, which vaguely resembled Su Hua and Gu Beixian, she found the chairman's private elevator card, swiped it, and let Shen Tianyu in.

Shen Tianyu had already gone up to the top floor, but the receptionist was still standing there in a daze.

Who says a man's good looks are useless?

That's not beautiful enough.

Her stunning beauty is incredibly striking.

Upon reaching the top floor, Shen Tianyu immediately spotted Gu Beixian's office by its aura.

He knocked on the door and came in.

Gu Beixian put down the documents in his hand and asked, "You arrived so quickly?"

Shen Tianyu leaned down and sat on the sofa, saying softly, "A smooth ride all the way."

The secretary came in and served tea.

Gu Beixian sat down next to him and asked with a smile, "What brings you here to see Grandpa all of a sudden?"

Shen Tianyu got straight to the point, "My great-grandfather will face a major hurdle next year, and it will be very difficult for him. Have someone dig his grave in advance, and then bury his coffin and burial clothes in the grave according to the time I tell you. I will set up some magic arrays. If he can overcome it, then he will; if he cannot, then there is nothing we can do."

Gu Beixian's expression suddenly froze.

After a long pause of half a minute, he finally spoke, "Is this for real this time?"

Last time, Gu Aoting pretended to be sick, which gave everyone a false alarm.

Shen Tianyu nodded. "It's very serious and shouldn't be underestimated."

Gu Beixian slowly clenched his fist on his lap. "Grandpa must be 113 or 114 years old, right? He always pretends to be young, and I actually believed him. But time waits for no one."

Shen Tianyu said calmly, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of nature. I will do my best."

"Will it hurt you?"

Shen Tianyu said, "It's alright."

But how could it really be harmless?

Any act against the will of Heaven will harm the caster; extending someone's life will cause even greater harm.

Gu Beixian sighed softly, "Forget it, he's over a hundred years old, that's a long life. He's seen, tasted, and experienced everything, it's all worth it. You're still young, you have a long life ahead of you, don't make things difficult for yourself."

Shen Tianyu said, "Give it a try, and listen to me then."

He left after uttering a few words.

Gu Beixian did not see him off.

He raised his hand to wipe his face and squeezed his eyes shut.

Of the three siblings, he and Gu Aoting had the best relationship.

He was the only one whom Gu Aoting had raised single-handedly. When they were young, he would get angry with him and make a fuss over him, but no matter how many rifts there were, they were still father and son.

After a long while, he reached for his phone, dialed Su Hua's number, and said, "Hua, I'm afraid Old Gu won't make it past next year."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

Gu Beixian added, "Tianyu came by earlier and said he wanted to perform a ritual and set up an array for Old Gu to help him get through that ordeal. I'm thinking of giving up. This kind of thing would definitely hurt Tianyu. Their daughter will be born next year, and Tianyu has a long life ahead of him."

Su Hua remained silent.

One is her own father-in-law, and the other is her own grandson.

How is she supposed to choose?

When her maternal grandfather, Hua Tianshou, was seriously ill, she was willing to sacrifice herself to save him.

But she could sacrifice herself, but she couldn't sacrifice Tianyu's health.

After a long while, Su Hua finally spoke up, "You should discuss it with your mother, older brother, and Nan Yin."

“They will definitely give up on Lao Gu too. But, Hua, I feel so bad. Lao Gu really raised me with his love and care, acting as both father and mother to me. I grew up in his arms…” Gu Beixian raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes.

Su Hua said softly, "I understand."

Just like when her maternal grandfather Su Wenmai and her maternal grandmother passed away, she was devastated.

But birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable; for every newborn, someone else dies.

Over the years, she has witnessed so many of her loved ones pass away one after another. Whether she can accept it or not, she has to accept it.

Gu Beixian's voice hardened, "I can't bear to part with Lao Gu."

But he couldn't bear to see Shen Tianyu get hurt again.

Gu Beixian hung up the phone and dialed his sister Gu Nanyin's cell phone number, saying, "Nanyin, try to visit Old Gu's house more often and keep him company."

Gu Nanyin was also taken aback.

When she spoke again, her voice was trembling with tears, "Old Gu is sick?"

"No."

"Then how..."

Gu Beixian said, "Old Gu is too old. Many people die peacefully at a certain age. Tianyu said that Old Gu will face a major hurdle next year and he wants to set up an array to save him, but I refused. Tianyu has suffered so much since childhood, we can't just focus on one person. After Dugu Cheng changed Shen Ke's fate, his health has been poor. If Tianyu were to perform a ritual to prolong Old Gu's life, he would probably suffer similar damage."

Gu Nanyin cried and said, "Brother, you're right to refuse. I'll listen to you. I'll visit him more often after I'm done with my work. We'll just do our filial duty as his children and not cause Tianyu any more trouble."

After ending the call, Gu Beixian got up and went to Qin Ye's office.

Anyone else at this age would have retired long ago and been enjoying their golden years.

However, because Gu Aoting set an example for them, the two brothers from the Gu family still come to the group to work a few days a week, even though they are old. They stay for at least two or three hours before leaving.

He knocked on the door and entered. Gu Beixian's handsome face was solemn, and his eyes were deep.

Qin Ye could tell from his expression that something serious had happened.

Qin Ye stood up from his leather executive chair and asked, "What happened?"

Without saying a word, Gu Beixian strode up to him, reached out and hugged him, "Brother, Old Gu's time is coming to an end."

Qin Ye's reaction was much calmer than his.

He raised his hand and patted Gu Beixian's back. "It's okay, you still have your brother. Your brother will take care of you."

Gu Beixian was already feeling very sad, but when he suddenly heard such cheesy words from his tough older brother, he was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He released him, saying, "Tianyu wanted to perform a ritual to prolong Old Gu's life, but I refused."

Qin Ye nodded. "We'll find a master cultivator from outside to prolong Old Gu's life."

Gu Beixian said, "How easy is that? Those who can prolong their lives are usually not short of money and would not damage their cultivation and health for money. Those who come for money are mostly swindlers. All their efforts are in vain. If word gets out, they will only make themselves a laughing stock."

The two brothers had lost all interest in staying at the company.

They all boarded a car and returned to Gu Family Villa.

Gu Aoting, who was happily flipping through "Song Dynasty Poetry" at home, naming Xianxian, was surprised to see his two sons suddenly arrive at the same time.

Moreover, one of them had bloodshot eyes, and the other's features, which were already hard, became even harder now.

Gu Aoting put down the book of Song Dynasty poems, slowly stood up, and asked, "Xuan'er, Aye, what's wrong with you two? Has something big happened at the company?"

Neither of them spoke.

Everything is normal at the company.

It is he who is nearing the end of his life.

Qin Ye walked up to Gu Aoting, raised his hand and pressed him down onto the sofa, saying, "Dad, you'll move to my house from now on."
