Chapter 3 - 3 002 Ruyi Pawnshop

Chapter 3: 002: Ruyi Pawnshop Chapter 3: 002: Ruyi Pawnshop Doctor Qiao finally finished giving his instructions.

Changling and Jiahui then pushed open the door and entered Old Mr. Gu’s room.

The young man who had been shouting “Fourth Brother” outside was also in the room, squatting by the bed and speaking to the old man, “Grandpa, Fourth Brother has arrived, he’s downstairs.”

Old Mr. Gu’s time was drawing near, and Mr. Xie from the Xie Family was the only guest who had been invited and did not carry the Gu surname.

Nurses were indispensable by the old man’s side. Changling stayed in the room for the duration of one bottle of medicine, after which Jiahui took over. During this time, quite a few members of the Gu Family came and went.

However, Mr. Xie had not come over yet.

The area set aside for the nurses to rest was on the left side of the corridor. If you walked in further, you would pass by a study room. It seemed to be a study room, as the door was not fully closed. When Changling walked past the door, he could see the bookshelves by the wall and hear the voices inside.

“I am also part of the Gu Family. With the Old Master critically ill, why shouldn’t I be here?”

The one speaking was called Gu Shangbin.

Changling had heard some things about the affairs of the Gu Family while he was at the hospital. The eldest and second sons of the Gu Family were both very incompetent, unable to safeguard the family business. Old Mr. Gu had made a will long ago, dividing his property evenly among the grandchildren, each grandchild receiving one portion, regardless of age.

The Gu Family had three grandchildren, two boys: the eldest grandchild Gu Kaiyun, and the youngest, Gu Yihuan.

Although Gu Shangbin also bore the surname Gu, he wasn’t born from the legitimate Madam Gu, but was an illegitimate child that Gu Yihuan’s father had outside. He had heard the news from somewhere and had come running.

The person who went to Moon Cave Gate to fetch Mr. Xie was Gu Yihuan, the youngest grandson of the Gu Family, very young, just over twenty.

“You shameless thing, you don’t even bother to look at yourself; how could someone like you be worthy of the Gu surname?”

Gu Yihuan was the youngest in the Gu Family, the most loved one, and also the one who was the most spoiled and willful. He had always loathed his father’s illegitimate child. If it weren’t for his cousin and Fourth Brother being present, he would’ve resorted to fists long ago.

Gu Shangbin was thick-skinned, with a streetwise aura, and very shameless: “Whether I’m worthy or not, my surname is still Gu.”

“You—”

Gu Yihuan’s fist was already raised but was held back by his cousin, Gu Kaiyun, “Xiao Huan, we still have a guest downstairs.”

Unlike Gu Yihuan, Gu Kaiyun was the eldest son and grandchild. His emotions were stable, and he had a good temper.

Gu Yihuan snorted irritably and then fell silent, grinding his teeth and radiating a cold air, wishing to freeze the shameless illegitimate child to death.
