Chapter 288 Help Him
In fact, this was Jiang Mo's expected answer.
The Xu family has no actual relationship with Gu Jichen, and there is no so-called interest involved. The Xu family really has no need to help.
But thinking of Gu Yusheng's crying, Jiang Mo still felt her heart tightening, and an indescribable tension spread, making her subconsciously hold her breath and clenched her fists.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Can't you help him?"
Xu Jingtong raised his eyebrows: "Is it just your request?"
Jiang Mo shook his head and corrected: "It's a suggestion."
Gu Jichen has nothing to do with the Xu family, so does she have one?What qualifications does she have to ask the Xu family to do things for her.
"It will be beneficial for the Xu family to help him." Jiang Mo said very calmly, "If the Xu family takes action this time, it will be a good opportunity to establish a relationship of interest with him."
"Perhaps the Xu family has a great business and looks down on this opportunity, but brother, both people and families must develop. Without development, there is only one way to perish. Are there not many wealthy families in the world? Which one can continue to be brilliant? Has it gone down? There are many established families in Europe whose influence has been reduced to the point where it can no longer be reduced. Does the Xu family want to follow in their footsteps?"
Xu Jingtong smiled: "Why do you think the Xu family will be doomed if they don't cooperate with Gu Jichen?"
Jiang Mo looked directly at Xu Jingtong: "But what you can't deny is that Gu Jichen's future is limitless. Brother, outsiders say that the Xu family has 'retired' and become low-key, but is this 'retirement' active or not?" Passive, don't you know clearly? The Xu family moved overseas voluntarily, or because of political..."
"Jiang Mo!" Xu Jingtong sternly stopped Jiang Mo. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, "Auntie told you these things?"
"Mom didn't tell me anything about the Xu family." Jiang Mo shook his head, "Don't worry about how I knew it, I was right, wasn't I?"
"The Xu family is not as good as it was then, but you don't have to underestimate it. You have never been back to your home, but if you go back and look at it, you will know that the Xu family is very good, and there will be no problems in developing it for another hundred years. But the premise is that it does not involve politics. , You can’t stand on the wrong team. The Xu family has suffered a big loss from being on the wrong team, so now it’s wise to protect yourself.”
What this means is that they will not take sides regarding Gu Jichen this time.
"I admit, Gu Jichen is very powerful. But his affairs are not as simple as you think." Xu Jingtong sat back on the bed, pointed to the only lazy sofa in the room, and motioned for her to sit down too.
"Do you think Gu Jichen's opponent is only Gu Bolian and the Jin family?" Xu Jingtong shook his head, "Too many."
"Back then, Gu Jichen was suppressed by Gu Bolian and had to go abroad. How do you think he made a comeback in just three years? Maybe you think that Gu Bolian started trouble after one year, so of course Gu Jichen can do it in three years. But Gu Bolian He is almost 50 years old. How much accumulation does he have? Gu Jichen was only in his early twenties. What does he have? Do you know how many people he has cooperated with in Europe and how many people he has offended? How many people want to take advantage of this opportunity? Settle old scores with him? There are even many people who have interests in us, do you think the Xu family can help him? "
Xu Jingtong took out another cigarette, but did not light it, but played with it in his hand. After a moment, he said, "No matter how capable Gu Jichen is, he may not be able to escape this crisis surrounded by wolves."
Jiang Mo said nothing again.
She had scolded "Gu Jichen, go to hell" so many times before, but when such a crisis really came, she was not happy at all.
She knew that what happened this time was inevitable - Gu Bolian's counterattack was inevitable, but it did come too fast.If it had been a few years later and Gu Jichen's power had been stronger, wouldn't he have a greater chance of winning?
It turned out that she no longer had any evil thoughts towards him.
She hoped that he would be well. It would be best if he could always be at the top. If not, she would also want to be safe.
"Then where is Mr. Gu now?" Jiang Mo asked again.
"He landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport, but this should be a cover-up. There is no need for him to reveal his whereabouts." Xu Jingtong said, "So now, I don't know."
He sighed quietly: "You care about him so much?"
"I'm asking for Yu Sheng."
Xu Jingtong just smiled, with that kind of see-through look that made Jiang Mo afraid to look back at him.
However, Xu Jingtong did not say anything more on this topic. Instead, he said: "I will report your suggestion to grandpa."
Jiang Mo was quite surprised: "Don't you think about it?"
"But it is undeniable that what you said does make sense. What you said just now is very tough, as if you think that Gu Jichen will definitely win this time. I thought about it and found that his chance of winning is indeed not small, otherwise he would not be Gu Jichen. .”
Jiang Mo didn't even realize that she laughed instantly: "Then go and reflect."
If the Xu family is really willing to take action, wouldn't his chance of winning be even greater?Who would think there are too many helpers? They are still such powerful helpers.
Xu Jingtong couldn't help but joke: "Is this urging for Gu Yusheng too?"
Jiang Mo patted him on the shoulder: "If you ask, just ask quickly."
"But I don't think grandpa will agree, unless Gu Jichen has an identity that we must help him." Xu Jingtong touched his mobile phone and said, "For example, if he is the son-in-law of our Xu family, of course we have to help him .”
"I don't think so." Jiang Mo denied the second part of the sentence, "If he were really the son-in-law of the Xu family, he would not seek support from the Xu family. Even if he seeks help from anyone, he will not seek help from the Xu family. He will never seek help from the Xu family. He won’t give his family a chance to look down on him.”
Xu Jingtong thought for a while and nodded: "That's right. Looking at it this way, Gu Jichen and you are quite similar in temperament."
Jiang Mo was right. Gu Jichen had indeed rejected the suggestion from people around him to ask for support from the Xu family.
In a distant country thousands of miles away, Gu Jichen was leaning back on the sofa leisurely, his black handmade suit not even a wrinkle, as if he had just attended an important international conference.
If it weren't for the bodyguards with live ammunition beside him and the Beretta 92F he was playing with, no one would be able to imagine the purpose of his trip.
In the room separated by a wall, screams could be heard one after another, as if that place was not the human world, but purgatory.
Within a few minutes, the door was opened and Qi Huan walked out: "Brother Chen, Victor said that he has already confessed everything he knows."
Gu Jichen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we'll deal with it."
Qi Huan gestured to the person next to him, and that person entered the room. Soon, the screams disappeared.
Although Victor is Jin Xi's man and has been bribed by Gu Li for a long time, there is not much useful information learned from him.After all, most of the information, such as Gu Li's personal arrangements, had been known to Gu Jichen for a long time.
The most surprising news is Jiang Mo's identity.
She turned out to be Xu Jingtong's sister.
Her mother turned out to be the young lady from the Xu family who died of illness more than 20 years ago.
Gu Jichen suddenly thought that when he and Xu Jingtong were arguing, Jiang Mo did call Xu Jingtong "brother" in a hurry. However, he thought at the time that it was an ordinary call and was simply related to age.
I never thought we were actually related by blood.
In fact, this news was not a shock to Gu Jichen, just an accident.After all, it doesn't matter whether Jiang Mo is just the daughter of a single mother or the daughter of a top wealthy family, as long as she is his wife.
He even hoped that it was just the former.After all, it would be more troublesome if it was the latter.
He clicked his tongue, clearly showing distress.
Qi Huan said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, don't worry, the advantage is still with us. Gu Bolian's secret stronghold has been completely exposed. Within three days, we will destroy them all one by one. That one named Art Lewis is a bit troublesome. That guy was with us two years ago..."
"You said..." Gu Jichen suddenly interrupted Qi Huan.
"Ah, what's wrong with Brother Chen?" Qi Huan bent down slightly.
"What should I give to the old man of the Xu family for his birthday?" Gu Jichen murmured, "I have dealt with that old man before. He is very difficult to maintain and picky. In the past, you had to be careful when giving gifts, but now you have to be more careful. After all, this is about my marriage.”
Qi Huan: "?"
In this thrilling environment full of dangers and constant gunfire, you are still in the mood to think about a birthday gift?
