Big Shot Fails at Turning Apathetic

She was reborn as a little fool, but this fool was cherished by the entire family.

The steady and wise Grandpa, the gentle and kind Grandma, the hot-tempered but kind Auntie.

The twin c...

Chapter 301 Giving Up

"The eldest son and his wife are really going too far. I've told them so many times, don't hit the kids when they're grown up. They're shameless."

"Xiao Lin, come and let Grandma see if it hurts."

Luo Feng waved to Jun Lin with a look of tenderness.

"Xiao Ci, I'm so sorry to have you see such a family scandal on our first meeting."

Jun Hai said apologetically to Gu Yanci, who was sitting next to Chu Xingyue.

"Uncle, don't say that. Every family has its own problems."

Junshan sighed and looked up to ask Junlin.

"Junlin, what are your plans now?"

"Grandpa, actually I ran away after I was beaten yesterday. I don't want to stay in this house at all. I want to live alone."

“But you have to understand that they are still your family. Moreover, the dividends I’m giving you are from your grandfather and to you. They don’t get a single penny. After your grandfather passed away, you were designated as the heir to this estate. Now that you want to separate from them and live alone, you’ll inevitably have to make them jump out.”

"I don't know, I'm pretty confused right now."

Junlin's hands, resting on his knees, were clasped together unnaturally.

"Grandpa, what should we do now? Please help me."

"Let me think about it."

"Grandpa, I actually have a plan, it's a bit underhanded, but they definitely won't dare to come forward afterwards."

Chu Xingyue looked at the Jun family members with a half-smile.

"What method?"

"Yeah, boss, stop keeping us in suspense. Look, Junlin is about to cry."

"No, I'm not a crybaby."

"Haha, yes, yes, you're not."

Jun Yan raised her head with both hands and smiled at Jun Lin.

"What do you think they care about most?"

"I know, it's money."

Junyan quickly raised her hand.

"No, what they care about most is face."

"Being too proud is a recipe for suffering."

Luo Feng spat.

"Grandma is right, it's all about saving face at the cost of suffering."

"If we just focus on this point, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give them some dividends. After all, we're still family. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha. After all, Junlin will need to find a wife in the future."

Chu Xingyue has never been a conventional person. Over the years, she has handled only legitimate matters. She hasn't touched this kind of thing for many years, and the thought of it makes her feel itchy to do it again.

Gu Yanci glanced sideways and noticed the glint in Chu Xingyue's eyes. He reached out and touched his nose, a smile playing on his lips. This eldest branch of the Jun family was in for trouble.

"An'an, does this affect you?"

Junshan's words warmed Chu Xingyue's heart.

Chu Xingyue replied with a smile:

"It's alright, Grandpa. We still need Aci's cooperation with you all for this matter."

"Why do we need Xiao Ci to step in?"

Luo Feng was puzzled.

"I'm leaving on a mission this afternoon. I'll tell Aci the details later. Don't worry, Aci is our family's son-in-law, so his affairs are his affairs."

"An'an, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Even Junshan frowned now; his granddaughter's words sounded a bit like the "brother-obsessed demon" described in online novels.

"Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry. This is nothing to me. I'm just worried that you won't come to me when you need something."

Gu Yanci was very happy that Chu Xingyue entrusted him with such a task, which showed that An'an regarded him as family. Moreover, this was really a very small matter for him.

"Boss, didn't you just get back? Why are you going on another mission?"

"Yes, I was planning to stay with you guys for a few more days, sorry."

"An'an, what are you sorry about? Grandpa is proud of you."

"Grandma is proud of you too."

"Like my uncle."

"Boss, you've always been my idol."

"My idol used to be my older cousin, but now I'm announcing that I have another idol. An'an is the eldest, and Yan'er is the second eldest."

"You brat, how come I'm number two? Didn't you say I was your idol for life when we were kids?"

Junyan hooked her arm around Junlin's neck, as if to say, "I won't give up until you change your mind."

"What? An'an is already your boss, so you must be number two. Anyway, you're still my idol, it's just that now there's another An'an."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The siblings interrupted, disrupting the already heated atmosphere.

"Alright, I'm a magnanimous older sister, I won't hold it against you."

Gu Yanci and Chu Xingyue smiled at each other. The Jun family had a very good atmosphere, and none of their previous concerns came to pass.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, we came in a hurry this time. Let's have a proper get-together after An'an finishes her mission."

Junshan and Junhai were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with smiles.

"Oh, you're too kind, you're too kind. We'll definitely be there on time."

"So, shall we walk now?"

"Let's go, let's go."

Gu Yanci stood up and gestured for him to proceed.

Everyone in the Jun family stood up, smiling, and followed Gu Yanci out the door.

"Does your uncle know?"

Chu Xingyue asked Gu Yanci in a low voice.

"If even one of these people has bad intentions, your uncle will not let them appear in front of you and offend your eyes."

"Aci, please thank your uncle for me."

"If your uncle knew you thanked him for such a small thing, he would definitely blame me for not being a good wife to you."

Gu Yanci proudly raised his head, a sight that made Chu Xingyue both laugh and cry.

Chu Xingyue felt that everyone she had met along the way had treated her sincerely, which made her feel that she had never had any worries.

"Let's go, Chu Gu Shi."

Chu Xingyue stretched out her arm, and Gu Yanci, startled, quickly put his arm into Chu Xingyue's crook.

The people who got on the bus first watched Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci's actions with smiles on their faces.

"My sister and brother-in-law have a really good relationship."

"Envious? If you are, you should work harder too."

Luo Feng rolled her eyes at Jun Yan.

"No need, no need, Grandma. Now that I'm the eldest in our family, I'm not in a hurry. You two can wait and stop calling me Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma."

"Haha, Yan'er, what do you think? How about An'an has two babies? Two little darlings, oh my, Grandma is so happy just thinking about it."

Junyan was very happy at this moment. Now that her eldest son was in front of her, her grandparents wouldn't be watching her anymore.

"What is Grandma saying that makes her so happy?"

As soon as Chu Xingyue got into the car, she saw Luo Feng smiling at her so hard her eyes were almost closed.

"Sister, you and your brother-in-law have to work hard together. Grandma wants to be a great-grandmother."

Jun Yan's words made Chu Xingyue raise an eyebrow.

"Aci, did you hear that? My grandma wants to hold her great-grandson."

The sudden braking caused everyone in the car to lurch forward.

"What? Is this because you're unwilling?"

Junshan's indifferent voice rang out from behind, interrupting Gu Yanci, whose mind was blank.

"Ha, no, no, I really want to."

"You idiot, drive properly. We'll talk about everything when I get back from my mission."

"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Yanci's heart was practically soaring to the sky.

The car restarted.

Despite being engaged for so long, he never dared to bring up marriage, fearing that he would delay Chu Xingyue's life.

His sister-in-law and older sister had hinted that he should marry An'an as soon as possible, but his father and uncle stopped him, saying that he shouldn't let such a small matter distract An'an.

He was shocked when he heard this. He realized that he might not really be Gu Jia's biological son, but An An was.

Now that An'an has brought it up, this matter needs to be expedited. He'll go home this afternoon to consult with his father and uncle about auspicious dates. It seems he won't be able to wait for An'an to return. He'll have his uncle invite both sets of elders to come and choose an auspicious date. He'll handle this kind of thing; An'an doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters.

Chu Xingyue had no idea that her words had prompted Gu Yanci to complete all the preliminary work, ensuring that everything would be arranged by the time she returned.

Gu Yanci arranged the entire dinner party meticulously.

This meeting with their grandson-in-law made everyone in the Jun family very happy. Junshan was impressed with the head of the Gu family. He realized that the man was not aloof or eccentric; it all depended on who he was dealing with.

The fact that the head of the Gu family treated them with such respect made them look forward to meeting the Gu family even more.

"An'an, aren't you coming back with us?"

Luo Feng held her granddaughter's hand reluctantly.

“Ah Feng, the children are doing great things. We shouldn’t burden them.”

Junshan was also very reluctant to part with his granddaughter, who had only been home for two days.

At the hotel entrance, Chu Xingyue came out and two men got out of a military vehicle. They were Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng, both wearing combat uniforms. When they saw their boss come out, they quickly went to greet him.

"Boss"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll say goodbye."

Junyan also saw Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng, and smiled and nodded to them.

"An'an, be careful when you're out and about. Don't worry about home, your uncle will take care of your grandparents." These two imposing men called their niece "elder sister," which shows that their niece was definitely more capable than the two of them.

"Yeah, when I get back I'll have a good drink with my uncle."

Junshan stared longingly at Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue said with a smile:

"Grandpa can drink when I get back, and I'll make some for you too."

"But you promised this."

"Yes, I agree."

"Junlin, your brother-in-law will take care of things for you. He will contact you if anything comes up. Take care."

"Yes, have a safe trip, cousin."

Chu Xingyue smiled, turned her gaze to Jun Yan, tilted her head, and opened her arms.

"Boss"

Holding Chu Xingyue, Jun Yan felt a sense of security she had never experienced before. It was so good; she was also her older sister.

"I'm leaving, Aci."

"Yes, I'll take care of everything from behind."

Gu Yanci's words brought a smile to Chu Xingyue's face as she faced them.

He waved, turned around and walked towards the military vehicle not far away. Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng, who had been waiting beside him, quickly followed.

"Boss, we've delivered the person."

"Hmm, how are you? Are you awake yet?"

"They were still asleep when we arrived. Boss, your anesthetic is really powerful. These two are very alert. If it were us before, we definitely wouldn't have been able to handle them."

"This time, I'll introduce you to a few more people who will join our team later."

"Is the training intensity you've set for us not suitable for the newcomers?"

Zhang Cheng said with some concern.

"You'll see when you see them."

Zhang Cheng and Fu Jingcheng exchanged a glance but remained silent.

When Chu Xingyue and the others arrived, it was already afternoon, and many people had already gathered in the research institute where Qin Zhong was.

"Bang, bang bang bang."

"What kind of power is this? Fortunately, the two who were sent here said they wanted to be locked up separately, and that they needed A1 and A2. It's good that they didn't act on their own, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Even Qin Zhong was still a little shaken. Fortunately, he had brought the matter of Teacher Chu as his top priority. If he had been careless, not only would the two people have escaped, but they would probably have lost their lives.

The group of people who had seen the video yesterday were mentally prepared, but seeing the scene in front of them still made them nervous.

Some people were already considering giving up. If this punch landed on them, wouldn't it be the end of the day?

"You're all here? I'm sorry I'm late."

Everyone turned around, some still unable to hide the fear on their faces.

"Teacher Chu."

"Hmm, everyone saw it?"

"Teacher Chu, wouldn't this be a bit difficult for us?"

"Yes, Teacher Chu, we could be killed before we even get close. I don't want to die."

Some people were having second thoughts, and Chu Xingyue knew that not everyone believed in her unconditionally.

"Now, those who want to follow me, stand in one line; those who want to return to their jobs, stand in another line."

Chu Xingyue's words tempted those who were already considering giving up; once the first person was involved, a second would follow.

Fortunately, only a handful of people ultimately wanted to leave.

"Okay, now you won't have another chance to quit."

Chu Xingyue's cold eyes looked at the group of people who wanted to go back, making them shiver.

“Since you don’t want to come along, I won’t force you. There’s a confidentiality agreement here. If any information is leaked from you guys…” Chu Xingyue paused, and the people standing together visibly trembled.

"See you in a military court."

"Zhang Cheng, sign the papers and see them out."

"Yes, boss."

Chu Xingyue didn't even glance at the people behind her, and directly led the group towards the conference room.

"Let's go, everyone."

Zhang Cheng extended his hand.

"Did we do something wrong?"

One of them asked.

“I have the right to refuse to participate. I don’t want to die. Didn’t you see what it’s like inside? We’re risking our lives for him.”

"But Teacher Chu is no ordinary person."

"Even if you wanted to stay now, they wouldn't want you."

The man gritted his teeth, looking like he was ready to risk it all, and followed him away.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the group of men. They were a bunch of cowards who were afraid of death. With their boss around, this was just a bonus for them. He really overestimated them.

Chu Xingyue led everyone to sit down.

He glanced at everyone who remained and smiled.

"I'm glad that so many people have stayed. Since you've chosen to stay, I won't allow you to back down halfway."
