Chapter 39: Adultery 06

After Ye Wanqing left, Uncle Li felt a little sorry and said, "She's a good girl." The implication was self-evident.

"Yeah, she's a nice girl."

Gu Rong echoed, but with a rather sarcastic tone: "It's a pity that big brother doesn't think highly of it."

Gu Yanchen frowned: "Gu Rong, stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, does Big Brother think so?"

Gu Rong turned to look at Gu Yanchen: "Why didn't you just agree to it? She's a girl, and she's so shameless as to invite you."

"So you want me to agree?" Gu Yanchen asked back.

He tried to regain the initiative in the conversation with Gu Rong.

Otherwise, this person will be taking advantage of you.

As expected, Gu Rong pursed her lips.

But he quickly sneered and chuckled, "Brother, if I tell you to agree, will you agree? Are you so obedient to me? Then I ask you to give the Gu family to me, will you agree?"

Gu Yanchen's expression didn't change, but Uncle Li's expression obviously changed, and the atmosphere became a little stiff.

"You are a member of the Gu family, what's the point of talking about giving or not giving?"

Gu Yanchen said calmly: "Those who are capable will take the position. If you are capable, you don't need me to give way to you."

These two sentences really hit Gu Rong's heart.

What he meant was, if he could beat Gu Yanchen, would he still need Gu Yanchen to give in? Besides, Gu Rong wasn't really a member of the Gu family at all—so all he showed was a gloomy face, and without saying a word, he just stared at Gu Yanchen fiercely, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

After feeling depressed for the entire day, Gu Yanchen finally felt relieved.

My brother who has mental problems still needs treatment.

When I feel comfortable, I feel hungry.

Gu Yanchen turned around and asked Uncle Li to serve the meal.

Uncle Li uttered an "ah" and turned to go to the kitchen.

Gu Rong: "Grandpa caught a fish today, Uncle Li, cook that fish. Make it sweet and sour to nourish my eldest brother. He has worked hard recently."

"This..." Uncle Li hesitated.

"Second Young Master, why don't you save it for you? The eldest young master doesn't like fish."

Everyone knew that Gu Rong didn't mean what he said, so what would happen if he agreed to it?

But Uncle Li wasn't making excuses.

Everyone knows that the eldest young master in their family doesn't like to eat fish, so he rarely picks up his chopsticks when the fish is served on the table.

Gu Rong chuckled and said, "Let's do it. I just swam and I'm hungry again."

[And who said Gu Yanchen doesn't like eating fish? He just doesn't like to pick bones and finds eating fish troublesome.]

[I also like sweet and sour food, but I never say it.]

[I don’t like green peppers, which is the same as mine...]

Gu Rong stopped talking, but the voice in his heart never stopped.

He was babbling on and on, as if talking to himself.

A little neurotic and a little "scary".

Because Gu Yanchen has never been a person with a strong desire to express himself, it can even be said that he has almost no desire to express himself. Ever since his parents left in an accident when he was a child, he has been raised by his grandfather. As the eldest grandson of the Gu family, he always bears responsibilities and burdens. He has no extra time to express these insignificant preferences, nor is there any need to have this need.

So it’s not that I deliberately want to hide my preferences, but I feel it’s unnecessary.

If he had not been born into a wealthy family, Gu Yanchen would be quite easy to support in some aspects. He would eat whatever was given to him.

Therefore, few people noticed his preference in this area.

Especially the point about eating fish, even grandpa doesn’t know the answer.

But how could Gu Rong...

When he first heard it, Gu Yanchen almost didn't react.

After I came to my senses, I listened to what Gu Rong said next, and the more I listened, the more mixed my feelings became.

He was really surprised and couldn't believe it.

But when I think about what my younger brother likes to eat, I can’t remember anything.

Gu Yanchen felt heavy-hearted, and suddenly realized that he was indeed incompetent as the eldest brother.

Therefore, he became more determined to correct Gu Rong.

After dinner, the two went upstairs one after the other.

Gu Rong was in front, and Gu Yanchen was behind. He looked at Gu Rong's back, and before Gu Rong was about to enter the room, he finally said, "Come with me to the birthday party this weekend."

The two brothers' bedrooms were close to each other, but they rarely went back to their rooms together like now. Standing at the door of each other's room and looking at each other, Gu Yanchen felt a sense of strangeness, as if he had just realized that this younger brother had been living next door to him. He was not a roommate, but a younger brother.

It’s just like Uncle Li said, they were very close when they were young.

Gu Yanchen would also play with little Gu Rong, coax Gu Rong to sleep during thunderstorms, and leave delicious food for Gu Rong.

But as they grew older, things changed between them.

Gu Yanchen had noticed this and had tried to communicate, but he was powerless. Gradually, he just let it go. After all, he was not an emotional person. Faced with Gu Rong's obvious resistance, Gu Yanchen had no way to unilaterally mend the inexplicable rift between them, and they gradually drifted apart and became estranged.

But now, Gu Yanchen really wants to make amends.

He felt that all the reasons were due to Gu Rong's gradually deviated psychology, a psychological distortion caused by some kind of obsession, an illusion, and it would be fine as long as it was reversed.

To do this, Gu Yanchen needs to take action.

He planned to keep Gu Rong with him at all times.

Perhaps after showing his brother's love, Gu Rong's distorted mentality will gradually improve, and he will realize that what he needs is just the care from his family.

The eldest brother is like a father, and it was he who failed to take care of his younger brother on behalf of his parents.

Gu Yanchen has an unshirkable responsibility.

——Gu Rong almost laughed at this development.

"With you?"

Gu Rong tutted his words and said, "Should I go as your brother or as your assistant?"

[Or should I go in Ye Wanqing's place?]

Gu Yanchen was about to open his mouth when he suddenly choked.

Then he heard Gu Rong picking on him again: "You're really thinking of letting your own brother be your assistant."

"Not everyone can do something like framing their own brother."

Gu Yanchen spoke subconsciously and frowned after he finished speaking.

In fact, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Gu Rong's psychology was twisted, and his methods were extreme. He had to use this method to drive Ye Wanqing away from him. When Gu Yanchen realized that this was the truth, he really didn't know what to say. He didn't know which one was more difficult to accept, this or that Gu Rong really wanted to frame him, but at least Gu Rong didn't really hate him.

So Gu Yanchen felt a little regretful after he finished speaking, and as expected, Gu Rong's face became ugly again.

Even though he had done something wrong, he seemed very aggrieved.

Of course Gu Rong didn't show it, he always hid it well, it was Gu Yanchen who felt it, and -

[It's funny, you only remember it when I do something like this.]

"Yeah, I can do it."

Gu Rong sneered and even walked closer to Gu Yanchen: "Big brother, do you still want to settle accounts with me? Anyway, I am like this. How do you say that sentence? Don't learn well, right? Compared to you, I am not a good enough younger brother, and I am a bit redundant. It happens that you have discovered what I have done, why don't you just kick me out of the house——"

"You are a member of the Gu family, where can I drive you away?!"

Gu Yanchen interrupted Gu Rong: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Rong turned his head away and stopped talking.

There is no voice in the heart.

Gu Yanchen just felt a headache, and he also felt that he had a long way to go.

He took a deep breath before speaking again: "I made this decision just to teach you a lesson, Gu Rong, you are still my younger brother."

"Mr. Fan's birthday party is not of any special nature, and there is no need to discuss cooperation. We are just invited to congratulate him."

This is undoubtedly an answer to Gu Rong's previous question.

——Just let Gu Rong go to the birthday party with him as his younger brother.

Perhaps realizing that his attitude had changed, Gu Rong gave him a strange look, but didn't say anything. It was unclear whether he snorted or sneered. Then he turned and went into the room, as if he was disobedient or in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to express it.

Gu Yanchen exhaled slowly, thinking that he could always get it back.

It just so happened that the weekend was the 80th birthday of the old man of the Fan family. It was not only a long birthday but also a full birthday, so it was naturally going to be a grand celebration. A lot of people were invited. It just so happened that the Fan family had their own hotel business, so they closed it directly that day just to celebrate the old man's 80th birthday. However, there were more people coming and going when the hotel was closed than when it was open.

Gu Yanchen came on behalf of the Gu family to congratulate the old man of the Fan family on his birthday. His presence was very noticeable. After all, he was the future head of the Gu family, and no one would easily ignore him.

So when they saw who was following Gu Yanchen, they all widened their eyes or started whispering to each other.

The rivalry between the two Gu brothers has long been no secret, not to mention that Gu Yanchen had some problems before. Although they have been resolved, and even the means used made people feel ruthless, Gu Yanchen was decisive and resolute, and he was able to make the Ye family bow their heads, so no one dared to say anything about it.

Of course, it's not just the Ye family. Those who pay attention to this matter will inevitably find out that Young Master Gu seems to be involved.

So, Gu Yanchen was already ruthless towards the Ye family. Using this incident as an excuse, he probably wouldn't show any mercy to his brother either, right? After all, the Ye family also had Ye Wanqing, and Gu Yanchen, his younger brother, often opposed him. They didn't quite believe in any brotherly love, otherwise how could there be rumors of a feud between the Gu brothers?

But now, Gu Yanchen actually brought his younger brother to attend the birthday party?

But Ye Wanqing from the Ye family and her other male companions came...

This development is really hard to understand.

Ye Wanqing’s side is still understandable, after all, the Ye family has offended Gu Yanchen, but what about Gu Yanchen’s younger brother?

Are they still family after all?

But you wouldn't be so careless as to bring your younger brother to the birthday party, right?

Gu Rong felt the gazes of the people around him and couldn't help but chuckle.

He took a few quick steps, leaned close to Gu Yanchen and whispered, "They might think there's something wrong with you. Maybe you didn't hear the story of the farmer and the snake when you were a child."

Gu Yanchen had adjusted his mood in the past few days, and said calmly: "You are just a hognose snake at best."

Gu Rong: “”

"You insulted me."

"No, I want you to know yourself."

Gu Rong sighed and complained to 01 that he was indeed the male lead. It had only been a few days and his fighting power had increased.

But it may be that he has recovered.

So, this also means that we can make it a little more difficult.
