I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad?-Chapter 92: Astonishment, Confusion, Absurdity

"Dad, you have to hold on! Hold on! I’ll send someone to bring Gu Shuo back right away." Gu’s second son grew anxious. He wiped away his tears, ignoring the hateful glares from the others, and turned to call for his own son.

Mr. Gu lay on the bed, turned his back to the crowd, and secretly pounded his chest. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned his head and said, "Go to General Xiang’s residence and tell the little child of the Xiang family that I am critically ill."

?

"Dad, what does you being critically ill have to do with the little child from General Xiang’s residence?" Gu’s fourth son asked, confused.

"Just go when I tell you to! Why all the nonsense? COUGH COUGH COUGH..."

"Dad, don’t be angry. I’ll go right now, right now." Gu’s fourth son didn’t dare talk back anymore and raised a hand to help his father catch his breath.

Mr. Gu calmed down and slapped his hand away. "Still not going? You’re trying to provoke me on purpose, aren’t you?"

"Yes, yes." Gu’s fourth son agreed repeatedly.

Within half a day, the entire Gu family was on high alert. The Gu family’s daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and even great-grandchildren all gathered outside Mr. Gu’s room.

After all, even though Gu’s fourth son was currently managing the family’s shops, the real power was still in Mr. Gu’s hands.

Now that Mr. Gu was about to write his will, who wouldn’t want to get a piece of the pie?

Gu Shuo, who was usually closest to Mr. Gu, rushed back to the Gu family estate immediately upon hearing that his grandfather was critically ill.

Many members of the Gu family didn’t particularly like Gu Shuo, so none of them gave him a pleasant look.

’A person who’s been removed from the family registry shouldn’t even dream of getting any benefits from the Gu family.’

Once everyone had arrived, Mr. Gu groggily summoned them into the room and declared a will that left the Gu family completely baffled.

In summary, whoever could get the young lady of the Xiang family to acknowledge him as her great-grandfather would inherit all the assets under his control.

Shocking, baffling, and utterly absurd!

’Has Mr. Gu lost his mind?’

’Why is he so fixated on the young lady from the Xiang family?’

The most important part was the will. Mr. Gu controlled eighty percent of the Gu family’s assets. Whoever accomplished this task would directly become the new Family Head of the Gu family.

Gu Shuo was also bewildered. ’How could his grandfather know the little fatty?’

’Great-grandfather?’

’Could it be that his grandfather had someone investigate me in secret and discovered the connection between me and the little fatty?’ 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

’That doesn’t seem to add up. Even if that were the case, there would be no need to put up all the Gu family’s assets!’

’I can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out.’

In an instant, the members of the Gu family all turned their attention to the Xiang family’s child. ’It’s just a matter of getting a kid to acknowledge a great-grandfather. How hard could it be?’

After confirming that Mr. Gu wasn’t just talking nonsense, the Gu family members immediately began to focus on the Xiang family. No matter how many gifts they had to send or what methods they had to use, they had to make that child acknowledge the kinship.

After everyone else had left, Gu Shuo remained seated by the bed, staring at the old man lying there.

"Grandpa."

Mr. Gu remained silent.

"Stop pretending. I know you’re fine."

"What?" Mr. Gu turned his head.

"How do you know the little fatty from the General’s residence?"

Mr. Gu’s eyes lit up. "How did you know she’s chubby?"

"...I’ve seen her a few times." ’Looks like his grandfather doesn’t know about my connection to the little fatty.’

"A few times? Where did you see her?" Mr. Gu sat up in bed. ’I should go try my luck tomorrow too.’

"Um, I don’t remember clearly. Grandpa, what’s the meaning behind your will?"

"It means what it says. Whoever can get the child to acknowledge me, I will give the Gu family’s assets to them." Seeing that Gu Shuo didn’t want to talk, Mr. Gu’s enthusiasm from a moment ago vanished.

"Why?" Gu Shuo couldn’t understand.

"I just feel a connection with that girl. I feel a sense of warmth whenever I see her. The little girl is also clever and bright; I can’t get enough of looking at her." Thinking of Ye Qianning, Mr. Gu beamed like a blooming flower.
