Chapter 657: Chapter 657: The Richest Man Becomes a Hardcore Fan?!

Zhao Lang had arrived in the Capital in the early hours of the morning.

He Pingzhang kept the news tightly sealed; apart from Old Sir Gu, only a few of the closest servants knew about it.

The Gu Mansion was eerily quiet in the early morning, almost devoid of conversation, save for a few chirps of birds.

Zhao Lang walked along the corridor expressionlessly, followed by a swarm of people, all of whom maintained a stern and indifferent demeanor.

Suddenly, a loud crashing sound shattered the silence.

Before Zhao Lang could identify the source of the noise, a figure dashed out from around the corner of the corridor not far away.

The person was running and shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Boss, you’re finally back, Boss!"

"Wuwuwu, I heard you had an accident on the island, I thought you died there."

Three black lines slid down Zhao Lang’s face.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xu was forcibly held down by Pei Ye from about thirty meters away.

Zhou Xu looked up, and his excitement surged at the sight of the person.

"Woodface, you’re not dead either, that’s great, but uh..."

He glanced at Pei Ye’s outfit.

"Why haven’t you changed out of those hideously ugly clothes yet? They stink."

Pei Ye: "....."

After coming off the island, he had gone to treat his wounds, then arranged for the woman caught on the island, and immediately rushed back with the young master. Where would he find time to tidy himself up?

Just as Pei Ye was about to say something in defense, the cold and distant expression of Jiang Li suddenly popped into his mind.

Despite looking soft and fragile, the girl didn’t waste words and was swift and fierce in her actions.

Perhaps this was what being a hidden boss was all about.

Thinking this, Pei Ye coldly glanced at Zhou Xu and spat out two words indifferently: "Never mind."

Zhou Xu: ?????

How had that lousy island in just one month made the already taciturn Woodface even less talkative?!

Had he developed psychological trauma and become introverted?

He had seen on hot searches that many people came back from the island mentally disturbed.

Could Pei Ye be one of them??

Zhou Xu stroked his chin pondering, while Zhao Lang, accustomed to his dramatic character, automatically ignored him and continued forward.

"Is Grandpa up yet?"

"..."

Seeing that no one behind him had responded after a long while, Zhao Lang stopped and scowled.

Pei Ye hurriedly kicked Zhou Xu, and Zhou Xu finally snapped out of it.

"Ah? Boss, did you ask me?"

"Who else? Assistant He hasn’t returned for a day, and you are Old Sir Gu’s personal assistant. Don’t you even know when Old Sir is supposed to get up?"

"That..." Zhou Xu scratched his head, "Maybe, possibly he’s up, I guess. I was just playing a match and wasn’t paying attention."

"Heh." Zhao Lang scoffed coldly, "Deduct ten thousand from your salary this month."

Zhou Xu: !!!!

His total monthly salary was only fifty thousand!

How could he live if ten thousand were deducted?!

Zhou Xu began to wail, and Zhao Lang signaled Pei Ye with a look, and Pei Ye immediately gagged Zhou Xu.

The world quieted down.

Zhao Lang breathed out softly and went straight to Old Sir Gu’s room.

This time, Zhou Xu had learned his lesson and hurried to knock on the door.

"Old Sir Gu, the boss is back, your beloved grandson is back!"

The door opened with a "pop," revealing the somewhat haggard face of Gu Shengrong.

His eyes, however, were bright and excited.

"He’s back, where is he?"

He then hastily peered behind him.

Zhao Lang uttered, "Assistant He is staying back on the island for some matters and can’t return for now."

"I’m not talking about him; he can come back or not."

Zhao Lang: ?

"Then, Grandpa, who are you talking about?"

"Where’s that Jiang girl?" Gu Shengrong tapped his cane, "Didn’t Zhou Xu say you went to the island to chase after that girl? Where is she? Why didn’t you bring her back with you?"

Zhao Lang opened his mouth, looked at Zhou Xu, and then at Old Sir Gu, clearly unable to react immediately.

"Grandpa, you ..."

Seeing him like this, Old Sir Gu seemed to understand, "So you couldn’t win her over in a whole month, and you’re my grandson, Gu Shengrong!"

Zhao Lang: "I ..."

Gu Shengrong huffed coldly, his previous joy and excitement now completely vanished.

"Why come back if you didn’t bring her? Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

Saying this, he turned around and entered the house, slamming the door mercilessly behind him.

Zhao Lang and the others were left in disorder, blown about by the wind.

Right when the door closed, Zhao Lang caught a glimpse of the television in the Old Sir’s room.

The person on the screen was none other than Jiang Li.

She was in a live interview.

Zhao Lang felt even more bewildered.

Why was Old Sir Gu different from how he remembered him?!

He used to be pretty dismissive of romantic affairs.

Confused, Zhao Lang looked towards Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu let out an "oh," "While you weren’t home this time, Old Sir Gu seems to have become a hardcore fan of that fortune teller, staying up late to follow his livestreams, even waking up early to watch."

Zhao Lang: ?

...

Jiang Yan still felt light-footed when he stepped onto the land.

Not from being swayed by the seawater.

But from shock.

"No way, he really is the grandson of the richest man? Gu Shengrong really is his biological grandfather?"

"Since when did the Gu Family gain a Crown Prince?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"I must be dreaming."

Bai Lu had had enough and silenced him physically.

"Stop doubting life, he is indeed the biological grandson of Gu Shengrong, the Crown Prince of the Gu Family!"

Jiang Yan was gritting his teeth, "So you knew all along, why didn’t you remind me?!"

That’s the Gu Family.

Half of Capital’s companies were under their conglomerate.

Shang Shaojing was so confident and thriving, and half the reason was because he had the backing of the Gu family.

Even though Jiang Yan was arrogant, he knew his limits.

He might dare to confront Shang Shaojing, but as for the Gu Family...

He hadn’t even started yet, and he imagined his father’s slippers flying towards him already.

Not to mention Old Sir Gu only has this one grandson now.

And he had openly, shamelessly claimed on the internet how he had a humble and unclean background.

He even said if he were the grandson of the richest man, then he would be the richest man.

The more Jiang Yan recalled, the more he wanted to turn back and jump into the sea once and for all.

Seeing him like this, Bai Lu could only hastily wave her hands, "It’s not my fault! I found out after leaving the island too, it was Yu Li who told me!"

Thus, several gazes shot towards Yu Li simultaneously.

Shang Shuyue suddenly understood, "I was wondering why you acted so awkwardly when you saw him, being all busy with tea and helping out; you actually kept us all in the dark!"

"I..." Yu Li stammered in his explanation, "It’s not like that, I just, um..."

In the next second, he pointed at Jiang Li, "Jiang Li knew too, and they’re even closer!"

Everyone: !!!

Jiang Yan shocked: "You knew that kid belonged to the Gu family?!"
