I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 222

Chapter 222 – [52,099 yuan had been deposited.] (3)

As it was Friday, Old Mr. Gu called before it was end of the workday asking Gu Shao to bring Gu Xi there for dinner.

Over at the Gu's.

After dinner, Gu Xi, along with Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi surrounded Old Mr. Gu tricking him for red enveloped, er, playing games with him.

Their game was very simple. They would pull a random die emoji from their collection. Whoever had the lowest number would send a red envelope.

Gu Xi didn't notice anything unusual at the beginning. It was until after the third round did she notice something out of the ordinary.

After she opened up Old Mr. Gu's “1” roll, she finally noticed that all of their die rolls were random except for Old Mr. Gu, who only had a “1” one.

Next to her, Gu Chenyi, who had just got himself a red pocket, winked at her.

After a little while, she received a private message from Gu Chenyi. [Keep it on the downlow. Grandpa's emoji was created by Big Brother back in the days.]

He even followed that up with a complacent emoji.

Gu Xi, “……”

So this game had already been going on for years? And it had never once failed?

She had a feeling that these other two, as well as Gu Yanlin before he was rich, had “scammed” a lot of money from Old Mr. Gu.

Gu Xi felt ashamed and couldn't help but commented.

Next to them, seeing how much fun Grandpa Gu and his grandchildren were having, Wang Pei picked up her phone and quietly started watching her drama.

She couldn't even bear looking at these kids' trick.

After all these years, there was no way someone as smart as Old Mr. Gu had never noticed that something was off. All he was doing was finding ways to funnel more money to his precious grandchildren was all.

At the same time, over in the study upstairs, Gu Shao and Gu Xian talked about what Gu Xi had brought up earlier in the day.

“Xixi told me to develop a maritime monitoring system specifically aimed at the southeast countries today,” said Gu Shao.

Gu Xi felt that she had been very subtle already. Little did she know that Gu Shao had already saw through her.

Upon hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xian was taken aback a little. Then his eyes lit up and he chuckled. “That was not a bad idea. It was messy over in the southeast and a maritime monitoring system will certainly be a big hit.”

The countries in the southeast would probably be delighted to have a monitoring system that would help them rein in some of the unofficial profit from the “independent parties” back to the government.

Having said that, Gu Xian was a bit surprised. He looked over at Gu Shao and asked, “Did you say this was Xixi's idea?

“Wait!” Gu Xian paused for a little and muttered, “Maritime transportation in the southeast…… why does that sound so familiar?”

Something dawned on him all of a sudden and Gu Xian's eyes widened. “Right! The Lin family! Isn't that Lin Yize's trade?”

They had only happened upon it when they were looking into Gu Yaobai.

“Do you think Xixi wanted to target the Lin family by having you develop such a monitoring system and sell them to the southeast countries?” Gu Xian was very surprised. He thought about it some, smacked himself on his thigh, smiled and said, “That is a great idea!”

Nevertheless, Gu Shao said, “I hope that is not the reason for it.”

Gu Xi could have a very exciting life but, in the end of the day, he wished for her to have a simple life.

Simple and happy. Them adults could take care of the dark and gloomy things.

What made Gu Shao worried the most was what Gu Xi had experienced at the Lin's.

With Gu Xi's personality, if she was only being neglected at the Lin's, she would not have guarded against the Lin's so much. Almost to the point of resentment and hatred. Unless……

Gu Shao's eyes dimmed when he thought about it. The danger in his eyes was terrifying.

Gu Xian cleared his throat next to him and asked Gu Shao, “So, what do you think about Xixi's suggestion.”

Gu Shao looked up, “Let's do it.”
