Chapter 5 Apologize Properly, Don’t Not Cherish
Before Gu Siyue could step forward, the girl explained in a soft voice:
"My sister thinks that cooking a meal at the Gu family means she's treated like a servant. Then, since I used to be responsible for three meals a day at home, was that also the same as being treated like a servant by my father and brothers?"
Gu Siyue paused and looked at the thin and slender figure not far away.
Qin Ruolan's tone stagnated:
"How are they the same? We can't afford a maid, Dad can't cook, and my brothers' cooking isn't good, so you have to cook."
"I'm not picky about food. Just because it doesn't taste good doesn't mean I can't eat it. Even if my dad and brothers can't cook, they should be able to pick and wash vegetables, use the dishes and chopsticks, and set the table.
But in the past, the first thing I heard when I came back from my part-time job was, "Hurry up and cook, I'm almost starving."
My brothers were either playing games or watching TV, or chatting and playing with their phones. No one came into the kitchen to help me.
Once it's ready, when you serve it on the table, you will still complain that some dishes are too salty or some are not spicy enough.
It turns out that my father and brothers treated me like a servant."
When Qin Bingwu said this, she didn't sound complaining, but narrated it calmly. Only at the end did she feel a little sad, as if she had become accustomed to these things, and only after knowing the truth today did she feel a little aggrieved.
Gu Siyue felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.
Is this true? He doesn't believe it.
The Qin family was stunned and everyone fell silent. Finally, the father Qin Baichuan spoke up and reprimanded:
"What? We're all family. I just cooked some food. Do you feel wronged?"
Gu Siyue clenched his fists. Is this an admission?
Qin Bingwu was already used to the expressions of this family, so she did not answer but asked:
"Who will cook for the family when I'm not home?"
Gu Siyue looked incredulous. No, are you feeling wronged?
Qin Baichuan's expression relaxed. He thought she was scared just because he blamed her.
I thought I would become more independent after going to the Gu family.
"Don't worry about that, just go to the restaurant."
Qin Ruolan refused to give up. "Sister, after all, you were brought here by mom when she remarried. Even if the Gu family can't treat you as their own daughter, you are still the daughter of the Gu family. How can you go into the kitchen and do servants' work? If this gets out, where will mom's face be?"
A voice came from behind Qin Bingwu. Qin Bingwu turned her head, and the camera just framed her and Gu Siyue's handsome faces. Gu Siyue reached out and took off the white chef's hat on Qin Bingwu's head:
"That's right, you are my sister now, how can you cook and do such things? Come on, take off your apron and hat, brother will take you to eat delicious food."
The smile on Qin Ruolan's face froze. How could the fourth young master of the Gu family say that he was Qin Bingwu's brother?
In the previous life, this person would mock her whenever he saw her, but now, he actually protected Qin Bingwu?
No, that's not right. Gu Siyue must have said that for the sake of the Gu family's face. If he really wanted to protect Qin Bingwu, how could Qin Bingwu appear in the kitchen?
In the camera, Qin Bingwu tried to grab the chef's hat that Gu Siyue had taken off:
"Fourth Young Master, Grandma gave me so many gifts, I would feel bad if I didn't cook a meal."
That old immortal gave Qin Bingwu a gift?
What's the gift?
Although Gu Siyue was about the same age as Qin Bingwu, he was a head taller than her. He lifted Qin Bingwu's chef's hat and watched as she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried. He found it very amusing:
"What's so much? It's only one million, not even as much as my pocket money. Let's go. I'll take you to get familiar with my home. Don't get lost later."
One million?
The old lady of the Gu family actually gave Qin Bingwu a one million yuan gift.
Qin Ruolan was very upset. Why didn’t she get anything at the beginning?
Qin Bingwu suspected that Gu Siyue was being deliberately Versailles. She had no intention of showing off.
"Fourth Master, this is what I am willing to do."
The video finally stabilized, and Gu Siyue moved closer and challenged the Qin family:
"Did you hear that? She cooked willingly. Our Gu family didn't force her into the kitchen to cook."
Unlike you, who are shameless and think it's natural.
Gu Siyue's character prevented him from scolding the Qin family, whom he had never met before, so he did not say the last sentence.
To the Qin family, these words were simply the fourth young master of the Gu family trying to save the Gu family's face, and not really to protect Qin Bingwu.
Qin Ruolan complained faintly:
"Fourth Young Master, this is not our fault. It's my sister who didn't explain things clearly that led to so many misunderstandings."
Dad Qin Baichuan looked disappointed:
"I told you that the Gu family would never go back on their word. Look, it's all your fault for making the Fourth Young Master angry."
The eldest brother Qin Chunhe said with a face full of blame: "Bingwu, you should quickly apologize to the Fourth Young Master and ask for his forgiveness."
The second brother, Qin Zhuxi, said indifferently: "Don't let them kick you out."
Third brother Qin Shanhai said fiercely: "This opportunity is given to you by my younger sister, so please cherish it."
The girl's eyes were red, she bit her lower lip and lowered her wet eyelashes. Her skin was already pale due to malnutrition, and now because of her family's blame and sadness, a layer of red mist had risen on it.
Is he angry because of her? No, he is angry because he can't stand the Qin family.
Gu Siyue was so angry that he couldn't even punch through the screen. He reached out and snatched Qin Bingwu's phone away, clicked hang up, and then flipped through the phone's contacts and handed it to Qin Bingwu:
"Don't cry, why don't you delete and block this kind of person and keep him for the New Year?"
Qin Bingwu took the phone. She cried not because she was sad, but because she felt sorry for her past life self who had wasted so much time for such a family.
"After all, they are all my family. Even though it may sound harsh, blood ties cannot be resolved by simply deleting or blocking them."
Qin Bingwu will not delete them. On the contrary, she will be very concerned about their life and death.
Gu Siyue didn't know what to say, and scratched his messy hair in annoyance:
"It's up to you, but now that you've entered the Gu family, you'll be my sister, Gu Siyue. If anyone bullies you again, just report my name and I'll protect you."
Qin Bingwu didn't expect that a video call would make Gu Siyue accept her. She was a little happy and smiled at Gu Siyue with red eyes:
"Yeah, okay, thank you, brother."
Gu Siyue was dazzled by the smile, and recalled the word "brother" that the girl had just said in his mind. Oh, it felt good.
"So you still want to cook?"
"Well, everything is ready, except for frying it."
"Hurry up then, I'm hungry."
"Is it late? There's still time."
"Brother is only eighteen and still growing. He must be hungry. Let's stir-fry it quickly. How good are your cooking skills? It won't be some weird dish, will it?"
Looking at Gu Siyue's sunny and handsome face, Qin Bingwu thought of something in her mind.
In his previous life, Gu Siyue seemed to have broken a leg and became a cripple.
