Chapter 337 Brother, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.
Gu Youran was originally moved to tears, with tears welling up in her eyes, but Gu Beixiao's words made her smile through her tears.
Tears instantly streamed down her face, but at that moment, there was a smile in the corner of her eye: "Brother, how come I didn't know you could have dry humor?"
Gu Beixiao and Gu Youran stood facing each other, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. This girl...
He realized that he, Weiwei, and Youran couldn't make up a complete childhood or a complete life; they were like a bitter gourd in the human world.
Li Huaijin felt very uncomfortable watching their interaction.
When did Gu Youran become so unguarded with him?
He walked up to Gu Youran with a hint of jealousy, as if to assert his dominance, his suave demeanor tinged with arrogance: "Brother, it's getting late, let's go back first?"
Anyway, he just couldn't stand seeing Gu Youran acting like a child in front of Gu Beixiao, crying one minute and laughing the next, as if she didn't consider him an outsider at all.
A girl like her doesn't even know how to care about her image.
No matter what, Gu Beixiao was someone outside their close circle.
Anyway, Li Huaijin will never admit that he was jealous.
Gu Beixiao was taken aback by the word "brother" and couldn't help but retort, "Who are you calling brother? Don't call me that."
He was extremely disgusted.
Moreover, he and Li Huaijin were not familiar with each other.
Li Huaijin, however, shamelessly put his arm around his shoulder and looked ingratiating: "You are You Ran's brother, so naturally you are my brother too. If you really don't want to hear me call you brother, you can call me brother along with Lao San."
Reversing the Heavenly Gang?
Gu Beixiao didn't really want to get involved. The matter was already resolved, and there was no need for him to say anything more to Li Huaijin.
However... Li Huaijin has indeed worked hard during this time, and he needs to express his gratitude: "Thank you for taking care of You Ran during this time. If you need anything, please let me know anytime."
Li Huaijin's brow twitched; this seemed interesting. If he could seize this opportunity, he might be able to build a good relationship with Gu Beixiao.
"Brother, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. Although I'm not as powerful as the third brother, no one in this circle can do anything to me."
Gu Beixiao: "...Do you like You Ran?"
Gu Youran, who was standing there like a quail, suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief. She didn't understand why her brother would say that.
"elder brother..."
How can you tell that?
Li Huaijin stood there stunned for a long while. Then, his face suddenly turned bright red, like a delicate little girl: "Brother, was I being that obvious?"
Gu Beixiao: "..."
You practically have "I like Gu Youran" etched on your forehead, what more do you need to say?
"You..." Gu Youran immediately slapped Li Huaijin, her face flushed with anger, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my brother."
Li Huaijin: "When did I talk nonsense? No, I didn't say anything."
Gu Beixiao: "..."
Don't you understand the principle that silence speaks louder than words?
Although his expression was not good, this was the result he had expected. He had asked before... but Gu Youran's attitude was very firm at the time, so he didn't say anything more.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Li Huaijin is indeed keeping things in check.
At least his sister was not harmed.
He was even protecting Gu Youran.
Gu Beixiao's expression was very serious, his sharp, imposing eyes sweeping over the two of them: "I won't interfere in your affairs... but I'll say it again..."
He looked at Li Huaijin, his words full of warning: "If you dare to hurt my sister, I'll make you regret it."
"I...."
Before he could even utter the word "guarantee," he was interrupted by other discordant voices.
Who the hell dares to ruin my plans at this time!
"Gu Youran, you ungrateful wretch!"
The three of them looked at Gu Bin walking towards them at the same time...
**
Gu Bin rushed forward angrily, but just as he raised his hand to slap Li Huaijin, he was kicked to the ground.
"You dare touch my people in front of me, Gu Bin, you're asking for death!"
Gu Bin, who had been kicked to the ground, was undoubtedly resentful. He stood up angrily and pointed his finger at Gu Youran's nose, cursing viciously.
"You're such an ingrate! Your mother raised you all these years, and you just send her in like that? You know she's in poor health and doesn't have many days left to live. Are you planning to make her life miserable during the last few days of her life?"
He speaks with an air of righteous indignation, but in reality, he is still selfish at heart.
Even Gu Jianguo criticized Gu Youran, looking old and decrepit, as if he was full of disappointment in his daughter: "Youran, I know that your mother and I have wronged you, but that is all in the past. How could you... This is a prison. Do you want your mother to leave with regrets?"
Gu Youran suddenly couldn't speak.
She felt as if she had lost her voice, unable to find her own voice, and her ears were ringing. The tinnitus was very distressing for her.
What did I do wrong?
Why are these two people in front of me criticizing me?
But I wasn't the culprit behind all of this.
Seeing that Gu Youran's mood was a bit off, Li Huaijin grabbed Gu Youran's arm and shook it gently, guiding her out in a very gentle voice.
“Gu Youran, don’t listen to their nonsense. You did nothing wrong. You are the best girl. You are not wrong. They are the ones who are wrong.”
The idea of valuing sons over daughters.
There is also the deeply ingrained idea of relying on one's daughter for financial support.
No wonder the Gu family used to be considered a second-rate family, and sometimes they could even enjoy the benefits of the eldest son's family.
But now, the Gu family is almost ruined by the father and son.
So those two are eyeing Gu Youran's assets, how shameless!
Gu Beixiao shielded Gu Youran behind him, his sarcasm at its peak, unleashing his full power: "Gu Bin, what right do you have to criticize Youran here?"
"she...."
"Your mom called you and told you to get to the hospital in half an hour. Do you know what the stakes were?"
What is it?
"We bet she would spend the rest of her life in the hospital, plus 50% of the shares in Youran Company. Unfortunately, she didn't win the bet."
Gu Beixiao looked at Gu Bin with a sarcastic expression, the level of mockery in his eyes rising sharply.
Because he saw regret and remorse on Gu Bin's face.
They're probably regretting not showing up sooner; maybe back then, they didn't even take Zhang Di seriously at home.
Gu Jianguo was not calm: "What?!"
He glared angrily at Gu Youran: "What do you mean?"
They just missed out on 50% of the shares?
how so? !
Why didn't Zhang Di say a word? If she had explained clearly that there would be such a benefit within half an hour, he and his son would definitely not have wasted time at home.
Now look what's happened; they've actually missed out on the shares.
Gu Youran was also in shock. She initially found it unbelievable, but then she felt relieved because Gu Bin could never finish the half-hour bet, so no matter what, her brother would win.
Compared to her, her brother seemed to understand the importance of caring for the family better; he was a selfish and petty person.
"Gu Youran, say something! Are you just going to watch your brother, who has no blood relation to you, make things difficult for your own father and brother?"
Gu Jianguo is now filled with regret, but he has to find a way to get his hands on Gu Youran's shares, as they are the foundation for his and his son's livelihood.
"You guys made a mistake on your own, what does it have to do with my brother?"
