☆, Chapter 54: Fourth Brother
Chen An sighed and turned around to find that Gu Lan was staring at him as if he could see through something.
"Sorry, I was distracted." He habitually explained his previous behavior.
After all, he had already paid so much, and he didn't want to give up right away, so he made a final struggle.
Maybe there is still hope for the Gu family, and they just want to use the inheritance issue to stimulate Gu Lan?
"Hearing that I won't get a penny of my property, have you lost your focus?" Gu Lan stared at him for a while and suddenly said this.
Chen An immediately became furious. Even though he really thought so in his heart, he hated Gu Lan for being so condescending and exposing his thoughts.
Chen An suppressed his anger and spoke in a cold voice.
"So that's who I am in your eyes. Think whatever you want. I've explained enough, every day. If you don't want to believe me no matter how much I explain, then it's all in vain!"
"Whatever you want." Gu Lan turned her head away and stopped looking at him, and said nothing more.
The red light ahead turned green. Chen An started the car, hesitated for a moment, and didn't say anything else.
Let's leave it at that for now. Although he doesn't want to give up all his efforts, he really doesn't have the mood to coax Gu Lan now.
Anyway, Gu Lan will be away on business for at least a week. I should be able to adjust my mood when she comes back. Let's talk about it then.
…
The next day, Gu Xiyan was unusually active and went home after training at noon.
He returned two hours earlier than Gu Ximing and Gu Yan.
It was really that Gu's father was very good at understanding people's hearts. He told him that Gu Ran was completely recovered. Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be very curious about Gu Ran's current appearance and naturally wanted to see him as soon as possible.
When he got home, his father and his family had just finished lunch. Gu Ran went back to her room to take a nap, while his father and mother were drinking afternoon tea in the small garden.
Gu Xiyan first went to find his parents, and then they pulled him over for a thorough scientific lecture.
There was no way. This son was really stupid and couldn't lie or hide things. The two of them were very afraid that Gu Xiyan would reveal his intention to hear Gu Ran's inner thoughts, so they gave him a lot of precautions in advance.
Gu Xiyan was confused at first, but gradually understood.
When Gu Ran woke up, the voice of his heart could be heard clearly from such a distance. Even if it was something bizarre and unbelievable, Gu Xiyan had to believe it.
He likes to read novels and watch anime. There are many plots about awakening superpowers in anime, so it is relatively easy to accept.
Gu's father and mother tested and beat Gu Xiyan again before they dared to take him to see Gu Ran.
This was also the first time Gu Ran met Gu Xiyan after traveling through time.
Gu Xiyan is 21 years old this year and is the tallest person in the family, nearly 1.9 meters tall. His exposed arms are covered with tight and beautiful muscles, making him look very safe and reliable.
Because he spends all year round in the swimming pool, Gu Xiyan has very fair skin and exudes the temperament of a sunny boy, which is completely different from Gu Ximing's appearance in a suit and tie.
[These two brothers are so handsome in their own ways, and both have good personalities. They are such good people, but it's a pity that their endings in the original novel were not so good.]
"I..." Gu Xiyan almost asked, "Why is my ending so bad?"
He was interrupted in time by a cough from Gu's mother.
"I came back in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything for my younger sister." Gu Xiyan turned around in time.
Gu Ran was flattered. "It's okay, it's okay. We're all family, why be so polite?"
[Wow, my fourth brother is so nice! He even brought me a gift. It turns out this whole family dotes on their younger sisters. I'm the one everyone loves.]
[It's bubbling with happiness.]
A cell phone ring interrupted Gu Ran's happiness.
Gu Ran took the phone and went to the side to answer the call.
[Hey, it’s Bai Yifan!]
"Brother Bai, good afternoon!" Gu Ran was in a good mood at the moment, and her voice was unusually sweet.
Bai Yifan on the other end of the phone felt sweet and couldn't help laughing, "I can tell from your voice that you are very happy."
"Yes, my fourth brother is back." Gu Ran said excitedly.
[There's one more person who loves me, how can I not be happy?]
[I wonder if Fourth Brother will give me a huge amount of pocket money soon.]
Pocket money?
Gu Xiyan was confused.
While Gu Ran was talking on the phone, Gu's father and mother quickly pulled Gu Xiyan aside and gave him a lecture in a low voice.
"I told you to be careful. You almost got caught. If you keep doing this, I'll have no choice but to stop you from seeing Xiao Ran!"
"Isn't this a bit too sudden? You've all been listening to it for so long, you must be used to it. You should also understand that this is my first time listening to it!"
Gu Xiyan felt aggrieved, depressed, and anxious, and protested.
"You don't have to stop me from seeing Xiao Ran like this!"
In the past, this younger sister rarely spoke and had little communication with her family. Her presence was very weak.
Now that everything is fine and he has awakened his superpowers, Gu Xiyan naturally wants to get closer to him.
"We weren't like you when we first heard it." Mother Gu knocked him on the head. "You're just too bad at pretending. If you get caught, Xiaoran will definitely never dare to have such random thoughts again, and we won't be able to hear anything we want to hear."
If it were just gossip, it would be fine, but it also contained a very important prophecy related to the lifeblood of their Gu family, which could not be missed at all.
So if Gu Xiyan really doesn't know how to pretend, we can only sacrifice him and stay away from Gu Ran temporarily.
"I can pretend, I can pretend, I will pretend well! I will definitely not be exposed again, I will definitely work hard! Mom and Dad, please give me another chance!"
Gu Xiyan fought hard, showing a determination and drive that he didn't even have in the competition.
Gu's father and mother finally softened their hearts and said, "Okay, then I'll give you another chance."
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom." Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
[Hot springs? That sounds great. I've never been to a proper hot spring.]
[In the past, places where you boiled water and poured it into a pool were always dirty and you wouldn't want to go in there at all. Hot springs like this, where the water comes from a real mountain spring, sound so comfortable.]
[It’s so private, there won’t be that many people around. Just thinking about it makes me happy!]
[I’m going! I’m going!]
[Thank you, Brother Bai, for taking me to such a wonderful place. I’ll kowtow to you. Dong Dong Dong…]
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to pick me up? I can take a taxi myself."
"Oh, oh, you happen to be on vacation, thank you then."
Gu Ran's inner thoughts and the sound of answering the phone were heard alternately.
The three members of the Gu family in the corner immediately pricked up their ears.
"See you tomorrow, Brother Bai."
Gu Ran hung up the phone and turned around. The three members of the Gu family had already quickly come to her side from the corner.
"Who's calling?" Gu's father asked knowingly.
He had to try to see if Gu Ran would hide who called.
