I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 223

Chapter 223 – [52,099 yuan had been deposited.] (4)

Gu Xian chuckled when he heard that. “Haha. Well then that’s that. What’s there to think about? I’m supportive of that idea as well.”

Having said that, Gu Xian added, “Speaking of, Gu Yaobai hadn’t been doing well domestically as of late and had shifted a lot of his things over to the southeast. I reckoned that Lin Yize helped him out quite a bit.”

When Old Mr. Gu announced that Gu Yaobai was not a descendent of the Gu’s, he wasn’t only doing that for the sake of his granddaughter, he was also trying to take Gu Yaobai down a notch.

The businesses that had been partnering with Gu Yaobai switched to wait-and-look attitude one by one. Gu Yaobai wasn’t able to sell off all of his products and had no choice but to sell them to some southeast countries at a discount.

“Dad was quite good at refraining himself,” said Gu Xian as he chuckled.

They were quite certain that there was more to Old Mr. Gu announcing Gu Yaobai’s identity. Nevertheless, so many days had passed, and they had yet to see him make a move.

Gu Shao gave Gu Xian a nonchalant look. “We are not there yet.”

Gu Xian raised his brows, “You know about Dad’s plan?”

Gu Shao, “I have an idea.”

Having said that, Gu Shao had no intention to elaborate.

Gu Xian pushed his lips out a little. He could swear on his mother’s grave that Gu Shao did that on purpose! Just to keep the suspense going!

As he was thinking about that, a couple chimes from Gu Xian’s phone interrupted him.

Gu Xian read the texts quickly then, looking up at Gu Shao, he said, “They had their monthly examinations?”

Gu Shao, “……”

Meanwhile, the oldest of the Gu brothers, too, walked inside. He rolled his eyes without regards to Gu Xian’s feelings when he heard what Gu Xian had said. “You don’t even know that your son had his monthly examinations?”

Gu Xian, “About that……” He had truly forgotten about it.

Mainly Gu Chenyi didn’t bring it up to him either.

Gu Xian smiled awkwardly and heard Gu Feng asking, “Did you get the teacher’s message?”

“The teacher sent out a WeChat message that the parent-teacher conference is next week.”

Gu Feng nodded. He, too, received the message from the class teacher of Class No. 3. It was more or less the same as the one that Gu Xian had received.

Hearing the two other parents going back and forth, Gu Shao, too, pulled out his cellphone stealthily and looked at it.

He hadn’t received anything……

***

A few minutes later, a message finally popped up on Gu Shao’s phone.

It was, however, not a WeChat message but a text to his phone.

And it was not from the class teacher either; it was a notification from the bank.

[52,099 yuan was deposited to your secondary bank card ending in 0717… Memo: Money transfer from WeChat.]

Gu Shao was surprised the minute he saw the message.

Deposit? 52,099?

Gu Shao looked up at the previous message. The previous message, too, was from that afternoon.

[50,000 yuan was deducted from your primary card ending in 0471…. At 13:54.]

52,099?

Looking at the numbers in the text, Gu Shao was visibly baffled.

Ok, so the 50,000 was what he had given her in the afternoon. Where did the odd 2,099 come from then?

“What is it? Lao Er got the message to the parent-teacher conference now?” Looking at the at the look on Gu Shao that was even more exaggerated than that on Gu Xian while staring intensely at his phone, Gu Feng raised his brows and asked.

He had almost forgotten that both men in front of him were inexperienced fathers… NOT!

Gu Shao checked his text and WeChat one more time. Still nothing about the parent-teacher conference.

“Are Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi in the habit of saving money?” Gu Shao asked the other two.

Both men were taken aback by his question before shaking their heads without hesitation and said almost at the same time, “Of course not.”

“I’ll be happy if Gu Yanxiao doesn’t ask for more,” said Gu Feng.

Gu Xian, too, snickered when he heard that. “Yeah, right, don’t even expect Gu Chenyi to save any money.”

He and Gu Chenyi’s mother spent a lot of time overseas, particularly when Gu Chenyi was younger.

The boy was smart. He would ask for money from him and his mother separately. And that wasn’t even enough. He’d then go to Old Mr. Gu and told him that he didn’t get his pocket money.

Looking at Gu Xian who was gritting his teeth, Gu Shao raised his brows and looked away nonchalantly.

Your kids were just not good enough.

Thought Gu Shao in a very “neutral” manner.

The other two, when the noticed the look on Gu Shao, “……”

They had no idea what was going through Gu Shao’s mind, but they felt that he seemed to be making fun of them.
