535: Chapter 535: Behind the Silence 535: Chapter 535: Behind the Silence Lu Yi raised a question, “Why are the Zhu, Luo, and Zhang families interested in the old house again?
They must know sothing, so your family, Gu Fan, must also know sothing.”
In response, Gu Fan gave an awkward smile, “Given the current situation, my father does not seem to plan on telling anything.
Moreover, if I want to know the secrets of the old house, only the elders can tell the younger generation.
Outsiders can’t interrupt, so I’ve yet to find a chance to get my father to speak.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi beca puzzled again, “What do you an, this secret can only be told by the elders to the younger ones?
It seems it can’t be told to outsiders either.
So what are we doing here discussing things?
Aren’t you afraid we will also learn the secrets of your old house?”
Gu Fan shook his head, “The current situation is such that the Zhu and Luo families have joined forces with the big boss, who must have learned the secret of the old house.
That’s why he’s willing to help the Zhu and Luo families reclaim the old house.
The sa is also true for Shennv Xuanhui.
That is to say, outsiders already know the secret of the old house, and it was leaked by others.
So it doesn’t matter if you know it too, especially since I don’t know much myself.”
After so consideration, Gu Fan looked troubled but still spoke, “There’s another thing, I may owe you all an apology.
I called this eting today to brief you all, hoping you could be prepared to face difficult problems with .”
Hearing Gu Fan’s statent, everyone was taken aback.
They all glanced at each other before Lu Yi was the first to speak, “I’m sorry, I seem to be in the wrong place.
I didn’t hear anything that you just said, Gu Fan.”
Xu Haowen quickly chid in, “All right, let’s wrap this up and pretend we were never here.” After saying this, everyone actually started getting ready to leave.
“With each passing day, my mory is failing .
I simply can’t rember what others have said,” Du Jun feigned a sigh.
“Hey, seriously, can you guys not be so harsh?” Gu Fan watched as everyone left, sowhat amused and exasperated.
Once everyone was gone, only Lin Xi and Su Hui remained.
Gu Fan felt that this was a real testant to their friendship.
However, Su Hui looked quite vexed, “I made a mistake.
I was wrong.
I should not have moved in here just because the rent was cheaper.
It’s such a losing proposition.
I’m moving out.
Even if you, Gu Fan, waive my rent, I need to think about it.
If you pay to stay, I might reluctantly remain.” With that, Su Hui went upstairs, “All right, I’ll start packing.
You guys do whatever you want.”
“All of them are doing this on purpose to upset .” Gu Fan turned to look at Lin Xi, who was sitting on the sofa expressing her support.
Gu Fan felt deeply moved, “Lin Xi, I knew you were the best.
I haven’t been treating you well for nothing.”
“Oh, Gu Fan,” Lin Xi straightened his collar, putting on a sorrowful expression, “So much has happened, and I’ve always thought it was my fault.
So it ans so much to that you have been there for through thick and thin.
But according to what you said, it seems that all of this was caused by your old house.
This ans you’ve ruined my life, and you need to take responsibility for .
You need to do this for and that for …”
Listening to this, Gu Fan almost passed out.
What was going on?
Why did the price start going up too?
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Gu Fan inford Lin Xi of the situation with the Lei family, leaving her quite surprised, “What on earth?
You’ve finally found the Lei family, so why would you introduce them to Shennv Xuanhui?”
Gu Fan explained, “I want to balance the three parties.
If I hold too much stake, it may provoke the other two to unite against .”
“Gosh, you’ve considered everything thoroughly,” Su Hui descended from the stairs, offering praise, leaving Gu Fan feeling rather mystified.
He shot back, “Sister Su, weren’t you packing?
Weren’t you planning on moving out?”
At this, Su Hui shook her head, “I gave it so thought, I recently paid three months’ rent, and knowing your character, you definitely wouldn’t refund my rent so easily.
So I’ll stay for the full three months before moving out.”
This is when Lu Yi and the others walked back in, “What the heck, you find a job and end up finding the long-lost Lei family.
This can’t simply be described as a coincidence.
It seems as if it’s ti for the six families to co together.”
Gu Fan was puzzled, “I thought you guys had left.”
“Stop getting off track, we’re talking about serious matters here,” Du Jun said, nearly causing Gu Fan to roll his eyes.
Who were the ones who, just monts ago, were pretending to leave and confusing things?
Qin Jia asked a key question, “What are your next steps, Gu Fan?”
Gu Fan paused to think, “We’re balanced now, none of us would dare act rashly.
This has bought a lot of ti to figure out what secrets the old house is hiding.
My primary goal is my father.”
Su Hui’s eyebrows furrowed, “But I have a feeling that if we figure out the secret of the old house, we might end up in even deeper trouble.
We might regret it when it’s too late.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and Gu Fan also had a mont of realization.
Indeed, he must consider whether it’s truly necessary to uncover the truth.
It was then that Lin Xi said, “Given the current situation, the other five families have already arrived.
The Gu family can’t escape this situation.
We must face it head on.
Therefore, it’s better to understand what’s going on.”
“True, at least we should not face the crisis blindly.” Gu Fan made up his mind, and everyone else nodded, expressing their readiness to face the hardships together.
With the eting over, everyone was truly ready to leave this ti.
But Gu Fan called out to Jie, who had remained silent the entire eting, “Jie, you seem like you have sothing on your mind.”
“Really?
I’ve been dealing with work-related issues recently.
It’s only now that I’ve joined society that I realize how difficult it is.” Jie casually gave an excuse, and Gu Fan pretended to believe it.
Watching Jie’s heavy steps, Gu Fan was worried.
He sensed that Jie was tackling a difficult, almost unresolvable issue, sothing he was even incapable of facing.
You’re right, the problem Jie was considering was that if the big boss ca after Gu Fan with his gang, Hai would undoubtedly assist the big boss, while Jie would certainly be on Gu Fan’s side.
In this case, wouldn’t the two brothers be in opposing camps?
He was puzzled.
Jie couldn’t figure out why Hai had to work for the big boss.
Why did both brothers get involved?
Could it have sothing to do with the Gu family’s old house?
Did it control the fate of the two brothers?
