Chapter 134 Getting a Boost

Gu Shuyan clearly didn't think she had that ability.

Seeing that Gu Shuyan didn't seem to be lying, Gu Renjie slowly withdrew his hand.

"Whatever his purpose is, you should have less contact with him in the future."

Gu Renjie gave Gu Shuyan a warning look, and seeing that Gu Shuyan nodded seriously, he waved for her to leave.

At the side gate, seeing that Gu Shuyan hadn't been beaten, Gu Yingjie felt relieved but also incredibly jealous of her.

"Big brother let you off so easily. I used to beat you up before I could even explain myself. Big brother is really biased to the extreme."

Gu Yingjie felt extremely wronged when he thought about the countless times he had been beaten before.

"So, does Second Brother mean he'll only be happy if Eldest Brother beats me up too?"

Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Yingjie with a half-smile, and Gu Yingjie quickly waved his hand and said no.

How could he possibly want his adorable little sister to get beaten up? He was just saddened by his own experience of being beaten up.

Seeing that Gu Yingjie was a little listless, Gu Shuyan brought up something that cheered him up: "We had agreed before that Sister Jing would be my tutor, but the person we sent was turned away. So I was thinking that maybe the other party thought that the person speaking in our family was not of high enough status. I wonder if Second Brother would be willing to help his sister make a trip and personally bring Sister Jing here?"

"Of course I'm willing."

As soon as Gu Shuyan finished speaking, Gu Yingjie readily agreed.

Seeing his sudden burst of energy, Gu Shuyan and Mingyu couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Well, you've gone bad now, actually using such things to make fun of your brother."

As Gu Yingjie spoke, he grabbed Gu Shuyan's head and vigorously rubbed her hair.

Seeing that her hair was about to be rumpled, Gu Shuyan quickly begged for mercy, "I didn't, little sister really wanted brother to pick up sister Jing."

"Are you really not making fun of me?"

Gu Yingjie tapped her on the forehead before finally withdrawing his hand.

"Really not, does your sister look like that kind of person?"

Gu Shuyan looked up at Gu Yingjie, deliberately putting on an innocent expression. After all, she was his own sister, so Gu Yingjie could only poke her head, "You, you, I just can't do anything with you."

In the afternoon, Gu Yingjie went to the Ouyang residence as instructed.

To his surprise, the other party simply waved him away as soon as they heard he was from the Marquis of Yi'an's residence.

Having been pampered since childhood, the second young master had never been turned away like this before. As his temper flared, just as he was contemplating whether to snatch the person away, Ouyang Biao returned.

"Isn't this the second young master of the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion? What brings you here today?"

Ouyang Biao strode forward and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Renjie.

Although he is now a third-rank official, he is not from a prestigious family, so even when he sees Gu Yingjie, a newly appointed sixth-rank official, he has to lower his posture.

"You flatter me too much, sir. However, my status is too low, and I am afraid I am not worthy to enter your mansion."

Gu Yingjie usually had a carefree and irresponsible demeanor, but his angry words at this moment unconsciously gave people a sense of arrogance.

Seeing Gu Yingjie inexplicably taking his anger out on him, Ouyang Biao's smile froze. No wonder his colleagues looked down on these scions of wealthy families in private!

As expected, they are all incompetent yet arrogant. If they weren't born into nobility, what would they be?
