Chapter 258 A friend in need is a friend indeed
Shen Yang and the other two did not pay attention to Gu Chan's little action.
In their eyes, Gu Chan is a boy and Shen Yang's nominal second uncle. Isn't it normal for the second uncle and nephew to be more intimate with each other?
But if they knew that Gu Chan was actually a woman, they probably wouldn't think so.
After all, Gu Chan liked the handsome boy Shen Yang very much from the very beginning, otherwise she would not have thought of seeing him the first time she arrived in Kyoto.
Shen Yang didn't think too much about it. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Mr. Wang, although you have lost your home and your family has suffered an accident, your uncle is still a high-ranking official in Kyoto! Even if you leave here to find him, he will not kick you out directly out of consideration for his feelings, so as not to damage his reputation as an official."
"Hiss... That makes sense." Wang Tianxiao let out a long hiss and calmed down completely.
He was not stupid, so he naturally came to his senses.
If Wang Feilong ignored him and others knew about it, they would say that he was too heartless and didn't care about his own nephew, which would also be bad for his reputation as an official.
Shen Yang added, "Even if your uncle wants to send you away, he will definitely give you some silver. This way, even if you leave the Ministry of War, at least you will have some silver in your hands. With your ability, you can start a business or do something else in the future. You may be able to make a comeback."
"Yes, I'll listen to you. I have to be thick-skinned and go find him. I'll see how much money he can give me to sever our family ties." Wang Tianxiao clenched his fists and said with a firm look in his eyes.
Shen Yang sighed and said, "In fact, after spending these few months with you, I have also seen that you are not a bad person by nature. Compared with my second brother, you are much better. With your personality, you will not be able to make a name for yourself in the Ministry of War. It is better for you to find another way out. Maybe it will be better for you."
"Oh! I was wrong before. Now after going through so much, I understand that I can no longer be a playboy like before. I need to be capable and achieve something." Wang Tianxiao finally came to his senses and said.
"Clap clap clap!"
Gu Chan couldn't help but clap her hands, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
Wang Tianxiao stood up, bowed to her respectfully, and apologized sincerely, "Manager Gu, I was wrong before, I hope you can forgive me and don't hold it against me. I promise that I will turn over a new leaf and be a good person in the future, and I will never be like that again."
"Since you say that, then there's nothing to say. We can be said to have known each other for a long time. I'll accompany you to find your uncle later. Anyway, I'm here to make sure you don't get beaten." Gu Chan said, patting his chest.
"Thank you very much." Wang Tianxiao said with great gratitude.
After saying that, he sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yang looked at Ding Xiang and analyzed slowly, "As for you, your situation is much better than his. Although your father has been sent to Kyoto as a scapegoat, looking at the state of your second uncle, he probably won't die for a while, and the emperor seems to only want to kill him and has no intention of implicating your family. So if you leave here, you can at least go back to Zhongyuan City to reunite with your mother and others."
"My dear nephew is right. Although your father's head is hanging by his neck, your mother and her family are living well in the wealthy area of Zhongyuan City. After all, your family is relatively well-off, and you will be able to live a good life when you return to Zhongyuan City in the future. I just don't know how long your mother can last with her ability." Gu Chan added.
Ding Xiang suddenly sneered and said with great disdain, "I know too well what kind of person my mother is. For so many years, my family has always been supported by my father. She is just a spendthrift woman. If I really go back like this, not only will she not feel sorry for me, but she will also criticize me in various ways. I will still have a hard time."
"Then what will you do? Continue to stay in the Ministry of War?" Gu Chan asked.
Ding Xiang tilted her head to look at Wang Tianxiao and said softly, "Brother Tianxiao, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. We even came to Kyoto together. Now you are leaving, you can't abandon me. Take me with you! Let's find a place together and work hard to make a lot of money."
"Are you sure? I have nothing now! You will only suffer if you follow me." Wang Tianxiao said in surprise.
He never thought that even though he was in such a state, Dingxiang would still be so loyal to him.
Dingxiang didn't care at all, and said sincerely, "I'm not afraid of hardship, as long as you don't think I'm a burden." "Good sister, then there's nothing to say. Even if it's for you, I will definitely work hard in the future and won't let you starve with me." Wang Tianxiao reached out and grabbed Dingxiang's little hands, saying with great emotion.
After he finished speaking, the tears in his eyes rolled down one by one like pearls from a broken string.
Gu Chan and Shen Yang were also deeply moved by what they saw.
As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!
The fact that these two people can still walk together without hesitation at a time like this is enough to prove that the relationship between them is indeed quite deep.
So what else can they say? They can only silently wish them well in their hearts.
Shen Yang was moved for a while, then he came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Gu Chan and asked, "By the way, second uncle, how is my grandfather's health?"
"Don't worry, the old man is fine, and he is doing well in Zhongyuan City. Everyone in your Shen family will have a good life." Gu Chan said with a smile.
"Then why did you come to Kyoto?" Shen Yang finally asked the biggest question in his mind.
Gu Chan smiled helplessly and said, "It was her father who did it. He insisted on dragging me into this, saying that if I pleaded for him, the emperor would definitely let him go. So, I was implicated and now I'm being targeted by the Tianji Pavilion."
"Ms. Ding, your father is really not a human being!" Shen Yang mocked unhappily.
Ding Xiang smiled awkwardly and apologized, "Manager Gu, I apologize to you on behalf of my father. My father is a scheming man, and he has really hurt you badly this time."
"It's okay. I've only got one miserable life. It doesn't matter. I'll go wherever fate takes me." Gu Chan said with a smile in a good mood.
Ding Xiang immediately admired her.
Gu Chan didn't dwell on this matter any more, and instead patted Shen Yang on the shoulder and said, "What about you? Do you still want to stay here and continue your studies?"
"Of course, I won't leave." Shen Yang said firmly.
"Okay, you have backbone. Then just wait, I will go and deal with that Minister of War and vent your anger for you." Gu Chan got angry and said with a cold face.
Shen Yang was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he wanted to dissuade her.
Gu Chan didn't give him a chance, she waved her hand to interrupt him, and ordered Wang Tianxiao and Ding Xiang, "Go pack your luggage and follow me, I will take you out of the Ministry of War later."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Gu." The two responded in unison.
Then they immediately got up and went back to their room hand in hand to pack their luggage.
Gu Chan sat next to Shen Yang and continued to chat with him and wait.
