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 something, so your family, Gu Fan, must also know something."
In response, Gu Fan gave an awkward smile, "Given the current situation, my father does not seem to plan on telling me 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 became puzzled again, "What do you mean, 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 same 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 some consideration, Gu Fan looked troubled but still spoke, "There’s another thing, I may owe you all an apology. I called this meeting today to brief you all, hoping you could be prepared to face difficult problems with me."
Hearing Gu Fan’s statement, 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 chimed 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 memory is failing me. I simply can’t remember what others have said," Du Jun feigned a sigh.
"Hey, seriously, can you guys not be so harsh?" Gu Fan watched as everyone left, somewhat amused and exasperated.
