Seeing Gu Shen walking over, everyone's gaze landed on him.
Gu Shen swept a glance over everyone on the sofa, and finally fixed his gaze on an old man who had a head of white hair, eyebrows, and beard.
This person was his great grandpa, which was also his grandfather's father.
great grandpa was in his nineties this year, the years mercilessly carved lines of deep wrinkles on his face, his sunken eyes were a pair of deep brown eyes, although he slightly squinted, the corners of his eyes were filled with dense lines from fish tails, but he was still full of energy, just that his stooped body quietly described the vicissitudes of time.
"great grandpa." Gu Shen stood firmly in front of the great grandpa, his tone respectful.
great grandpa nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
Gu Shen looked at Grandpa Gu: "Grandfather."
Grandpa Gu smiled indifferently.
Gu Shen then looked at Gu Yuan and Zhou Lin, and shouted one by one: "Mom, Dad."
Then, he looked towards the man sitting beside great grandpa and called out politely: "Second Uncle." The man who was addressed as second uncle was Gu Shaoting's father, who was also his father's second brother, Gu Zhongan.
Gu Zhong An's appearance was not much different from Gu Yuan's. Although he was old, and had wrinkles on his face, his facial features were pretty, and his body was mighty, making him look like a middle-aged man.
A faint smile hung at the corner of Gu Zhongan's mouth as he lightly spat out, "En!"
Gu Shen looked at Third Uncle Gu Lin and Fourth Uncle Gu Ye An. He respectfully shouted, "Third Uncle … Fourth Uncle … "The two of them were actually the adopted grandchildren of the great grandpa. The Gu family had given them food, clothing, and wealth.
Gu Lin and Gu Ye An nodded slightly and smiled politely.
Gu Shen quieted down and stood there calmly.
"Gu Shen, I heard you went to the police station?" great grandpa's deeply furrowed face twitched, his eyes filled with a fine light.
Gu Shen nodded, the members of the clan had already arrived, so his whereabouts couldn't be hidden.
"Gu Shen, it's not that Second Uncle is talking about you, but you actually went to the police station to see that woman who killed your grandmother. Your actions and style are truly unfilial!" Gu Zhongan's voice was filled with cold air and had an extremely penetrating power.
Hearing that, a displeased look immediately jumped about in Gu Shen's eyes, but very quickly, it extinguished once again, because he could not reveal too much of his emotions in front of the elders, and had to remain calm.
"Zhong An, I know better than you that Gu Shen is filial and unfilial." "He is my grandson, if he does something wrong, I will teach him. But Ye Chaxu is Gu Shen's wife, the matter regarding the murder has not been settled yet, the police are still investigating, he should go to the police station to have a look." He was speaking up for Gu Shen. In front of so many people, he could not tolerate Gu Shen teaching him.
He was very clear about Gu Zhongshan, and he had already guessed a part or two of what he was planning.
"Cousin, you are here to attend my mother's funeral. Don't say too much, it's not appropriate after all, so as to avoid hurting our relationship." Gu Yuan said coldly, his eyes releasing an aura as cold as ice.
Gu Shen had not spoken a word since his seniors were still discussing things, and he was already used to talking about them.
His eyes were faintly discernable as he looked at great grandpa, waiting for him to show his might.
Grandmother Gu was great grandpa's most beloved daughter-in-law. Now that she was killed by someone, great grandpa would definitely be angry, and he would also investigate this matter thoroughly, and be held accountable.
great grandpa's eyes lingered between Grandpa Gu, Gu Zhongshan, and Gu Yuan. His deep and unfathomable eyes had all sorts of emotions that made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"Uncle, I'm only doing this for Gu Shen's own good. I hope that he won't be too stupid." Gu Zhongshan looked at Grandpa Gu with concern.
Grandpa Gu did not reply, his expression becoming solemn.
"Cousin, we appreciate your kindness." Gu Yuan said with a dark face. Even though he didn't like Gu Shen and Ye Chaxu being together, at this moment, the members of the clan had already come knocking. He wanted to protect Gu Shen and prevent them from looking down on him.
"Dad, since Big Grandpa and Uncle don't like it, then let's not talk about it anymore." Gu Shaoting walked in front of Gu Zhongshan and said, "Ah! "It's a pity that Big Grandma was stabbed to death by her grandson's wife, but her husband, son, and grandson all chose to ignore the cause of death and wholeheartedly defended the murderer.
With that said, everyone turned to look at Gu Shaoting.
It was simply annoying to say such words.
However, Gu Shaoting's mouth had always been venomous. To say such words in front of his relatives, only Gu Shaoting had the guts.
"Shut up." great grandpa roared out, his pitch-black eyes suddenly becoming both benevolent and ruthless. He looked at Gu Shaoting with a gaze that carried warning and deep fury.
Gu Shaoting's body trembled, he did not know what was wrong with his words.
"Shaotian, you're going too far. He's already dead. You need to pay attention to his words, and you also need to respect your elders." Because Gu Shaoting was a junior, he had to learn and respect the elders.
However, what Gu Shaoting had just said was a deliberate attempt to provoke an argument.
He had always known about the battles between these people, but he had always turned a blind eye. As long as it was not serious, he would not utter a word.
Hearing that, Gu Shaoting immediately knelt towards great grandpa, his eyes filled with regret: "I was wrong, great grandpa." Only then did he understand that he was too complacent and said some things he shouldn't have, offending the great grandpa.
The great grandpa dotes on the Big Grandma, so she was naturally unhappy to hear these words.
Since the great grandpa did not say anything, Gu Shaoting did not dare to stand up. He could only kneel, because he was very clear on the anger of the great grandpa.
Gu Zhongshan looked at Gu Shaoting who was kneeling on the ground, his face full of anger.
This child had become complacent again.
Gu Shaoting laughed coldly in his heart. As an arrogant person, Gu Shaoting always spoke without concealing anything, the great grandpa would usually protect him. However, when it came to the matter of his great grandma who died, the great grandpa would never forgive him.
"Gu Shen, what do you say to that?" great grandpa shifted the topic to Gu Shen, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Gu Shen did not say anything, and quietly knelt down towards great grandpa.
great grandpa's gaze turned dark.
"great grandpa, Ye Chaxu is not the killer of grandmother, I promise with my own life." Gu Shen said firmly, her entire body was enveloped with a low pressure, her cold face was emitting determination.
Hearing Gu Shen's words, everyone was stunned.
As the successor of the family, Gu Shen actually made such a promise for a woman.
After all, once the successor of the family had a relationship with his children, he would become irrational, and things could easily go wrong. It would also make it easier for the enemy to take advantage of him.
