Chapter 6 This is double standard, sowing discord
After the incident, Qin Ruolan gloated to her family, "It's because he acts like he's eaten a fly every time he sees me, mocking me and causing trouble for me. Now, he's getting his comeuppance, and he's become a waste."
I heard that Gu Siyue did not go to Peking University and his personality became bad and violent.
Qin Bingwu responded to his teasing while recalling the time when this incident happened in her previous life. It seemed to be before the start of university:
"Aren't you going to hang out with your classmates during the holidays? School is about to start."
"We've made an appointment to go cycling and camping at Bird Lake in two days."
"Oh, it's great to have classmates and friends." Qin Bingwu pretended to be a little envious. If Gu Siyue invited her to join him, then she could go with him with a clear conscience.
However, Gu Siyue didn't seem to want to take her out to play. Qin Bingwu didn't respond to her and didn't mention it again. She had finally gotten along with Gu Siyue a little better, and if she was too eager to get along with him, it would be annoying.
During the dinner, Qin Bingwu received a lot of praise from the old ladies, which made her wonder if her cooking skills were even better than the head chef's.
Gu Siyue also ate happily. He finished two bowls of rice. Gu Siyan beside him did not eat a single bite for a long time, looking like he had no appetite. It was not until the old lady asked him what was wrong and whether he was feeling unwell that he said lightly that it was nothing and ate a few bites casually. From beginning to end, he did not touch Qin Bingwu's cooking at all.
"Brother, don't you want to try what Sister Wu made?" Gu Siyue asked while chewing the pork ribs.
Gu Siyan's voice was cold: "She prepared that for you and grandma."
"It's okay, I'll give you a piece. Try it. It tastes good." After saying that, a piece of pork chops appeared in the bowl in front of Gu Siyan.
Gu Siyan put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full, grandma, you guys take your time."
"Oh, what a waste. Forget it. I don't mind since my brother hasn't touched it." After saying that, Gu Siyue put the piece of pork chop back into his mouth.
…
Qin Bingwu locked herself in her study all night long, preparing for the meeting the next day. She didn't even know when the sun rose. It was not until the housekeeper sent someone to knock on the door and asked if she wanted breakfast delivered to the room that she realized she was really hungry.
Looking at the dazzling array of breakfasts at the Gu family, Qin Bingwu felt a little dazed. In her two lifetimes, this seemed to be the first breakfast she had not made herself.
I don’t have to worry about what filling to put in the dumplings that Dad wants to eat, or what toppings to add to suit my brothers’ taste in noodles.
Sure enough, changing your life is so wonderful.
At the dinner table, Gu Siyue took a bite of steamed bun and a bite of seafood porridge. He reached for the crystal dumplings before finishing the one in his hand, and was scolded by the old lady:
"Ayue, eat first, then take it. You have no manners. Look at you, are you the reincarnation of a beggar?"
Turning around, the old lady brought the crystal dumplings that Gu Siyue was reaching for to Qin Bingwu, and urged:
"Wuwu, eat more. Look at you, you're so tall and so thin. If you gained another 30 pounds, you'd look so much better. What else do you like to eat, Wuwu? If it's not enough, let the kitchen keep serving."
Gu Siyue looked at the pile of dishes in front of Qin Bingwu that were piled high by the old lady, and then looked at his own empty hands, feeling very dissatisfied:
"Grandma, you have double standards. Why should I have to finish eating before taking more and follow the rules, but she doesn't have to? I am your grandson."
The old lady turned her head and glanced at him:
"Look at how much you've eaten. How much did Wuwu eat? Besides, Wuwu is the younger sister and you are the older brother. You have to set a good example for your younger sister to learn from you."
Gu Siyue looked resentful: "You said yesterday that I was only a few days younger than her."
Qin Bingwu's eyes curved, "If Fourth Brother wants to be your younger brother, I don't mind. I like being a role model."
Gu Siyue glanced at her and said, "You wish."
The old lady was delighted.
The housekeeper came over and whispered, "Miss Qin, someone is looking for you outside."
Qin Bingwu turned around and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
"It's your brothers and sisters. They said they have something to tell you."
Gu Siyue looked at her: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Qin Bingwu wiped her mouth calmly and said, "No need. They are my family and they won't do anything to me. Fourth brother, you haven't eaten enough yet. Eat slowly. I can handle it."
Gu Siyue didn't want to get too involved in other people's family affairs from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, don't be reluctant to call me if you have anything."
"Know."
After the housekeeper left, he went to the gym again and told Gu Siyan, who had gotten up early to exercise, that the Qin family had arrived.
Qin Bingwu met her eldest brother, third brother and younger sister Qin Ruolan in the reception room at the entrance of the old house.
As soon as she appeared, Qin Ruolan's eyes scanned her up and down. Seeing that there were dark circles under her eyes and she was still wearing her old clothes, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
What's the point of the Fourth Young Master calling her sister? It's just talk.
"Sister, why do you look so haggard? What did the Gu family do to you last night?"
The very opening was to sow discord, Qin Bingwu replied coldly:
"No, I just didn't sleep well. You came to see me so early, is there something wrong?"
Qin Ruolan didn't believe this. Although the people in the Gu family were all very bad, the conditions of the Gu family were beyond reproach. Each owner had a separate yard. How could the bed made of a few wooden boards in the kitchen be compared with the Simmons mattresses of the top wealthy families?
If she really can't sleep in the bed, then she is like a wild boar that can't eat fine bran.
"Sister, if you have a hard time in the Gu family, please tell me. Don't worry, we will always be your family and have your back."
Qin Bingwu thought she was talking nonsense, and was afraid that if she said a few words to complain about the Gu family now, it would reach the ears of the Gu family within two days.
She only saw this trick clearly in her previous life when she died.
"No, I'm fine. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If not, I'll get back to work. I still have a lot of things to do."
Qin Ruolan looked as if it was really the case, her face full of worry:
"Did the Gu family arrange a lot of things for you? They..."
Seeing that she was about to talk too much, Qin Bingwu turned around and was about to leave, but her eldest brother stopped her:
"Qin Xiaocao, we're here because during the video call yesterday, the Fourth Young Master said that the Gu family gave you a one million yuan gift."
Gu Siyue, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping while eating steamed dumplings, stopped swallowing and almost choked to death.
No, her nickname is really Xiaocao?
"Yeah." Qin Bingwu did not deny it.
"Is the one million in your hands now?"
"Yes."
Seeing Qin Bingwu's indifferent look, the eldest brother Qin Chunhe's face turned cold. Ruolan was still thoughtful. The money cannot be kept in Qin Bingwu's hands. Look, she dared to show her dislike to them after only getting the money for one day.
"Hand it over."
Qin Bingwu raised her eyes and looked at him: "What?"
"You are now living in a wealthy family like the Gu family. You don't need to spend money on food and clothing. It's useless for you to hold the money. You are young, and it's not safe to have so much money in your hands. Give your bank card to your brother and he will keep it for you.
"Everything at home costs money these days. Xiaocao, you know how difficult it is for your family. Consider this one million as your filial piety. When Dad finds out, he'll definitely praise you for being great."
