Spring River Chasing the Moon

Chapter 238 Please

The old residence of the Xu family.

After Xu Zhiye came back from abroad, except for coming here once during the few days he was back home, he has never set foot here again in such a long time.

The main reason was that his grandfather was still dissatisfied with him for going abroad on his own initiative, and he didn't want to give in, even though he had done nothing wrong.

And today, the reason he came here was just for Nan Qiuyue's matter.

Ever since Nan Qiuyue told him that day that Nan Yinbei knew in advance that he would be going abroad, Xu Zhi suddenly remembered that Nan Yinbei had come directly to his school that year, and it was obvious that someone had revealed her whereabouts to her.

And this person must be related to their Xu family.

It’s not that Xu Qingyan didn’t investigate back then, but he couldn’t find anyone related to the Xu family, nor did he find the Jiang Hai that Nan Qiuyue mentioned.

This time, when Nan Qiuyue gave him this information, he immediately contacted Xu Qingyan and used his own connections to investigate.

But he never expected that Xu Qingyan would soon find out who Jiang Hai was.

Because this man was the son of the Gu family's housekeeper, Xu Qingyan had seen him several times before.

Xu Qingyan still remembered that Jiang Hai had a good relationship with Gu Yan'an.

After remembering this relationship, Xu Qingyan immediately told Xu Zhiye, and he immediately arranged for people to investigate what Gu Yan'an had done in this matter.

After learning that it was Gu Yan'an who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, Xu Zhi thought about it for a long time and finally came to find Xu Wen.

Xu Zhi knew too well how important Gu Yan'an was to his grandfather. As the only son left by his only sister, Xu Wen loved him even more than his biological son Xu Qingyan.

Moreover, Xu Wen did not impose too many restrictions on Gu Yan'an because his parents left early. Xu Wen seemed to have no other requirements for Gu Yan'an and only hoped that he would grow up happily and healthily.

It’s not that he can’t deal with Gu Yan’an. Xu Zhi just wants to make it clear to Xu Wen that this time, no matter how their Commander Xu protects Gu Yan’an, he won’t allow it.

He had already informed the Nan family about Gu Yan'an, and also knew that the Nan family had some information related to Gu Yan'an.

Xu Zhi also expressed his position to Nan Qiuyue's grandfather, and assured Grandpa Nan that their Xu family would never become Gu Yan'an's backer again.

"Commander, Zhi is here too."

The housekeeper of the Xu family's old house excitedly pushed open the door of the study. Zhiye, the child, had never taken the initiative to come to the old house to see the commander since he just returned to China. Although their commander didn't say it, he missed him very much in his heart.

Xu Wen was just being stubborn, saying that he was not satisfied with Xu Zhi and would not follow the path arranged by the Xu family, but in fact, whenever there was news related to Lan Jing, Xu Wen would always hide in the study and read it over and over again.

Xu Wen must be happy that Xu Zhi took the initiative to come over this time.

The housekeeper's prediction was correct. When Xu Wen heard that Xu Zhiye had arrived, although his face remained expressionless, he immediately stood up from his seat and subconsciously wanted to go to the door to greet Xu Zhiye. When he walked outside the room, he felt embarrassed and went back to the study.

"Tell him to come and see me in the study."

Xu Wen suppressed his joy and said after taking a sip of tea.

After a while, Xu Zhi also knocked on the half-open door of the study. After hearing Xu Wen say "come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

"grandfather."

Xu Zhi also looked at Xu Wen and greeted him.

"Why are you here today?"

Xu Wen concealed his excitement and asked in a deep voice.

"Grandfather, I came here this time for someone."

Xu Zhi also paused and continued speaking.

Xu Zhi also recounted what Gu Yan'an had done in recent years.

"Grandfather, Gu Yan'an has been secretly targeting the Nan family for many years. He has also secretly joined forces with Nan Younian and done many illegal things. This time I want to ask you for one thing. I hope you will stop protecting him and give up on him."

Xu Wen was stunned by Xu Zhiye’s words. He didn’t understand what was going on.

But when it comes to Gu Yanan, Xu Wen starts to feel biased.

"What are you talking about? You keep calling him Gu Yan'an, but he is your elder."

Xu Wen also spoke seriously to Xu Zhiye.

"Grandfather, don't you understand? Gu Yan'an is no longer the child who lost his parents. He now abuses his power for personal gain, without any limit. And whose power is he relying on? Yours, while pursuing his own selfish interests. Are you still going to give up your principles for him again and again?"

"Grandfather, I really don't understand. You are so strict with my father and me, but why do you always indulge Gu Yan'an?"

Every word Xu Zhiye said touched Xu Wen's heart directly.

"Aye, you don't understand. Yan'an's child suffered so much. His mother back then... it was me who failed to take good care of them..."

Thinking of his only sister, Xu Wen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Grandfather, I think if Gu Yan'an's parents were still alive, they would also be disappointed if they saw him like this today."

"He has been targeting the Nan family for so many years. He even betrayed information about me abroad in order to win over Nan Younian. I will never recognize such a person as an elder."

Xu Wen was stunned when he heard Xu Zhi also say that Gu Yan'an betrayed him.

"What do you mean? He betrayed you?"

"Back then, Nan Younian's daughter kept pestering me while she was abroad. I only now realized it was because Gu Yan'an revealed my whereabouts to her family."

When Nan Yinbei was mentioned, Xu Zhiye's eyes showed impatience.

"impossible."

Xu Wen didn't believe that Gu Yan'an was a bad guy, but he would not hurt his family.

"Nothing is impossible. Do you think that because you allowed the Nan family to exile him, he wouldn't have any resentment towards you for all these years?"

Xu Wen couldn't answer Xu Zhiye's question.

Xu Zhi also stood up and bowed to Xu Wen, with a hint of request in his tone.

"Grandfather, I could have handled it myself, but I still came because I didn't want you to find out later and feel bad."

"Grandfather... There's someone in the Nan family who is extremely important to me. Even if the Nan family doesn't fight back, I won't let anyone who hurts her go. So, I beg you, from today on, no matter what happens to Gu Yan'an, please don't help him anymore, okay?"

After saying that, Xu Zhi also raised his head and leaned forward slightly to look at Xu Wen.

This was the first time Xu Wen saw this side of his grandson.

Only then did he realize that the reason why Xu Zhiye was so determined to get rid of Gu Yan'an today was because of the Nan family.

Xu Wen’s first reaction was that the person who was also very important to Xu Zhi must be a girl, which meant that his grandson had someone he liked!

Xu Wen was so happy that he considered Xu Zhiye's request.

He is not a man without principles. In the past, no matter how much trouble Gu Yan'an caused, it was harmless in Xu Wen's eyes.

But if Gu Yan'an really said what Xu Zhiye said, Xu Wenye would definitely not show favoritism.

What's more, no matter how good he is to Gu Yan'an, Xu Zhi is not as important as him in his heart.

So, the study was quiet for a long time, and Xu Zhi finally waited for Xu Wen to nod.

"I promise you."
