Chapter 4: The little brat is a bit clingy

Gu Chuyue lay shivering in the corner, his wounds reopened and a new one appeared on his forehead. A calculating look flashed in his eyes. After being beaten last night, Gu Chuyue was thrown into this storage room.

Zhang Yuanxuan got up this morning and came to laugh at him. Seeing that Gu Chuyue ignored him completely, he pulled him up from the ground and threw him down again, hitting him directly against the wall.

Then he smashed everything in the house to pieces, the entire storage room became a mess, and the only bed was broken.

There weren't many things belonging to Gu Chuyue in the storage room. Apart from the clothes and pants thrown on the ground and stepped on, there was only a violin, and now the strings were broken.

Zhang Yuanxuan put his hands on his hips and acted arrogantly, not caring about the injuries on Gu Chuyue's body. He laughed and said, "How is it? Gu Chuyue, you are just a dog of my Zhang family now. Your life and death depends on whether I am happy or not. Don't think that you can replace me just because you come back."

"There are conditions for bringing you back. Just do what your father says."

After saying that, he wanted to go up and slap Gu Chuyue, but before the slap landed on him, the door was kicked open.

Before Zhang Yuanxuan could react, he saw a man come over and pick Gu Chuyue up from the ground.

"Master, the young master has wounds all over his body, including on his forehead."

It was too dark yesterday, so Gu Chuyue's appearance was not exposed to Qin Mu. Qin Mu looked at him casually until Gu Chuyue's complete face appeared in front of him. Before he could retract the surprise in his eyes, he looked into people's eyes. His eyes, which should have been lovable, were filled with hostility. This was the little villain, what a surprise.

Zhang Yuanxuan then noticed that there was a strange man behind him, just looking at him. He couldn't help but burst into tears and ran to his mother.

Qin Mu turned his gaze back and saw that it was actually the male protagonist. "Mr. Zhang, you really have a kind heart. Mrs. Zhang is also very good at lying. Is this just playfulness?"

Zhang Jingzhou couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Boss Qin, you misunderstood. The child is ignorant. I will teach him a lesson right now." He pulled Zhang Yuanxuan, who was hiding behind Song Lili, over and shouted, "You are so naughty at such a young age. Who allowed you to bully me? Apologize to me."

Zhang Yuanxuan cried even harder, punching and kicking non-stop, "I don't want to. Why should I apologize to that bastard?"

"Pa!" The crying sound also disappeared, "You are so rebellious, apologize to your brother!"

When Song Lili saw her son being beaten, she couldn't help herself: "It's just a fight between children, why do you have to hit them?"

Just as she was about to continue, she heard Qin Mu's indifferent voice: "Mr. Zhang's family really opened my eyes today. I'm taking them away. From now on, I have nothing to do with your Zhang family. Do you understand?"

How could Zhang Jingzhou let a cooked duck fly away from him like that? "What does Mr. Qin mean? Xiao Gu is my son. Don't take a child's affairs seriously."

The old man is so shameless. Although it was within Qin Mu's expectations, it still makes people very unhappy.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you know? Aunt Gu had already betrothed Gu Chuyue to me. As for why you don't know, I... don't really know either."

"Boss Qin and Xiao Gu are engaged? Then..."

Lin Wu spoke at the right time: "The head of the family means that this marriage contract is a matter between the Qin and Gu families and has nothing to do with others. Mr. Zhang, please respect yourself."

Zhang Jingzhou's face turned green, but he had to put on a smile.

Qin Mu said, "There's no need to apologize. I'm old now, so I can take a break from managing the company."

Zhang Jingzhou didn't dare to mention anything now. He took a break. Whether he wanted him to step down or to bankrupt the company, it all depended on Qin Mu's mood. He glared at Song Lili fiercely: "A loving mother often spoils her son. If you keep making trouble like this, get out of here and go back to the Song family."

Song Lili was now obedient. Mr. Qin was going to take the people away, and who dared to stop him? In Kyoto, Qin, Gu, and Qi were now the three major powers, and no family could shake their position. With the Gu family's wealth gone, the company must not be affected, otherwise all her years of hard work would be in vain.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have brought this little bastard back. I got nothing. Thinking of this, he secretly glared at Gu Chuyue and winked at his son.

Zhang Yuanxuan was pushed forward, and Song Lili whispered from behind, "If you don't apologize, I'll deduct all your pocket money and toys."

She cried and said, "I'm sorry, okay!"

Gu Chuyue didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Yuanxuan straight, with the indifference in his eyes not concealed at all, as if the person in front of him was not a person, but rather did not exist.

The child's injuries hadn't been treated yet when Qin Mu said, "I can let you go from the company, but on the condition that you don't come to him under the guise of being his father. I think it's best to completely sever this father-son relationship."

······

When he got home, the doctor was already waiting. Qin Mu's phone rang. He asked Lin Wu to bring the doctor over and went outside to answer the call. "You took my salary but didn't do anything. Doctor Xiao is very busy."

The person on the other side seemed to know that Qin Mu didn't take it to heart. A crisp laugh came from the other side: "Hey, Mu, your personal doctor has to take a vacation too. You saw the person I found for you yesterday. He's a good doctor."

Xiao Jiangran briefly asked about Qin Mu's injury, then asked, "What are you going to do with this child? Oh, no, why did you pick up a child and take him home when he was fine?"

"His last name is Gu, from the Gu family in Kyoto." This simple sentence was enough to make Xiao Jiangran think. As for the real reason, there was no need to elaborate. Qin Mu heard Aunt Zhang come out to call him and said to the phone, "Hang up."

Aunt Zhang said, "Young Master, please go in and take a look."

"What's wrong?" Qin Mu walked inside.

"Such a small child, with such a serious injury, and he still refuses to get bandaged."

Aunt Zhang was still being tactful. It wasn't that he was being naughty. The doctor and Lin Wu could only stand by. There was some broken glass on the ground, probably from the medicine bottles brought by the doctor. The medicine box was also overturned. The little villain was holding a piece of glass in his hand and not letting anyone else get close.

Seeing Qin Mu coming in, Gu Chuyue stared at him straight, his pair of dark eyes motionless.

The memory of reality flashed by, and he asked, "What do you want to do?" Without stopping, Lin Wu wanted to call Qin Mu, but when he saw the person who had just been uncooperative, he obediently handed the glass in his hand to the boss's outstretched hand.

Throwing the glass aside, he pulled the little villain over. His palm was already scratched by the glass. He looked up at the child in front of him. Their eyes met and Qin Mu said, "The injury needs to be treated, otherwise it will hurt. Doesn't it hurt?" Even if you are a villain, you still feel pain, right?

Gu Chuyue moved his hands, grabbed the corner of Qin Mu's clothes and slowly moved closer, not letting him leave.

Qin Mu waved to the doctor who was standing there stupidly: "Come and treat him." He took the little villain to sit on the sofa, letting him hold the corner of his clothes and cross his legs.

It turns out that he is the villain in the book. The villain is still a child now. He understands that children lack a sense of security when they first arrive in a strange place.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Mu felt that it was a good idea to take the little villain out of the Zhang family, otherwise if he went crazy in the future, he might bring disaster to the Qin family. Gu Chuyue seemed to be just a little indifferent now, not crazy yet.

Qin Mu glanced at the child after a while. He hadn't noticed it just now, but the child was still staring at him.
