"Why bother talking to that person? It'll just make you dirty your mouth."

Gu Qingqing had just boarded the bus when Gu En gave her a lecture.

"Third Brother, I still need to put on a show for An Susu. We can't confront them head-on. We should just keep our distance from them in the future and try not to have any contact with them."

Gu Qingqing knew that Gu Jin had told Gu En that he had a nightmare about predicting the future, so he reacted strongly.

It's easier said than done; in reality, actions may be restricted.

Not to mention that the Gu Group is currently at its peak, it will definitely catch up with the Zhai Group within three years, so sooner or later it will also clash with the Zhai Group.

In other words, the Gu family and the Zhai family can only ever be competitors and enemies.

We can't be friends at all.

Especially now that Fu Jue has joined the Gu Group, its strength has increased a hundredfold. It is likely that the Zhai Group already regards the Gu Group as a thorn in its side and wishes to eliminate it overnight.

Moreover, Zhai Wan'er likes Fu Jue and is madly infatuated with him.

She's going crazy because she hasn't seen him for the past few months.

She also expressed her love for him on various social media platforms online, vowing that she would rather die than not marry him.

This led unsuspecting netizens to believe that Fu Jue was a heartless man, and they all condemned him.

Netizens overwhelmingly supported Zhai Wan'er's pursuit of true love, fueling her arrogance.

In real life, Zhai Wan'er went crazy hiring private investigators to find out about Fu Jue, spending millions of dollars but still failing to find out his whereabouts.

He was in a daze every day, asking everyone he met about news related to Fu Jue.

Zhai Shaolin was so bothered by her that he didn't want to go back to the Zhai family, which is why he got closer and closer to An Susu.

Instead, his relationship with Dong Shu became increasingly strained because she supported Zhai Wan'er's pursuit of love and urged him to do his best to help.

——

It got dark.

Gu Qingqing, Gu Jin, and Gu En ate together at Fu Jue's new home, cooking a Western-style dinner together.

They cooperated very well.

Gu En was a bit temperamental, teasing Fu Jue a few times and making the kitchen a little dirty.

As a result, he was reprimanded by Gu Qingqing several times.

Gu Qingqing glared at Gu En: "Third Brother, if you keep doing this, I won't call you Third Brother anymore."

Gu En said nonchalantly, "It's okay, you can call me Enen, it makes me feel closer to you."

Gu Qingqing stamped her foot anxiously: "Third brother~ you are not allowed to bully Master Fu."

Gu En spread his hands: "You're wronging me. I didn't bully him. It's clearly because he's clumsy and can't even hold things properly. What does it have to do with me if he breaks the basin?"

Gu Qingqing sniffed, looking completely disbelieving: "Hmph! I saw it, don't try to deny it. If you keep doing this, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Fu Jue looked at her pitifully, almost crying: "Qingqing, I'm fine, don't be angry with your third brother. It's all my fault for not handling things properly, I can't even do things right."

Gu Qingqing frowned and pursed her lips: "Master Fu, it was clearly my third brother who bullied you, and you're still defending him. Third brother, look at the distance between you and Master Fu."

Gu En sneered: "What distance? The distance between an athlete and a weakling?"

Gu Qingqing glared at him fiercely: "Gu En! You've gone too far, you're not cute at all, you're punished by not eating dinner tonight."

Gu En grinned crookedly: "What's cute? Can you eat it?"

Gu Qingqing: "Don't you want to eat the vegetable salad and mushroom soup I made? Quickly apologize to Master Fu."

She scooped up some of the mushroom soup she had made with a spoon and held it up in front of Gu En to show off. He opened his mouth to eat it, but she suddenly withdrew her hand, put the spoon in her mouth, and ate the mushroom soup in one gulp.

Gu En surrendered: "Okay! I'll apologize. Fu Jue, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just now."

Fu Jue smiled faintly: "It's alright, I know you didn't mean it."

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow and glanced at him coldly: "If you keep arguing, don't even think about eating my roasted lamb chops or pan-fried steaks."

He used large tongs to pick up a freshly baked, fragrant piece of roasted lamb chop and showed it to them.

Gu Qingqing's mouth was practically watering: "No, big brother, it wasn't me who made the noise, it's all third brother's fault, big brother, please punish him by not letting him eat meat tonight."

That way, all the meat for tonight can end up in her belly.

Gu En pouted and pretended to cry: "Qingqing, you're so mean. You know that your third brother loves to eat meat the most, but you still deliberately don't give me any meat."

Gu Qingqing burst into laughter: "Hahaha—"

"Hehehe..." Several men saw her smile and their faces also lit up with happy smiles.

Standing at the kitchen door, Grandpa Fu watched them chatting and laughing, playfully teasing each other.

He grew to like Gu Qingqing and her brothers more and more. Although they lost their parents when they were so young a few years ago, the siblings united and supported each other.

Instead of becoming withdrawn or depressed after their parents' passing, they became more cheerful and optimistic.

It was because of her that Fu Jue smiled more and more, became much more cheerful, and changed a lot.

"Dinner's ready, Grandpa Fu." Gu Qingqing carried the vegetable salad and mushroom soup she had made herself and slowly walked out of the kitchen.

"You can try my cooking later and see if it's good, but please don't give it a bad review. This is my first time making it too, and it's already pretty good that it didn't burn."

"You little rascal, hahaha, don't worry! I won't give you a bad review. Even if it tastes terrible, I'll finish it."

Grandpa Fu followed beside her and smelled the aroma of the mushroom soup, which told him that her cooking skills were quite good.

This was the first time his granddaughter-in-law had cooked a delicious meal for him, an old man. No matter how bad it tasted, he wouldn't refuse it or scold her.

Gu En also brought out a bowl of mashed potatoes that he had made himself. It looked pretty good, but he didn't know if it would taste good.
