Gu Zixiao walked out from Grandpa Gu's side and was just about to leave.
Gu's mother spotted him and quickly called out, "Zixiao, come here."
Gu Zixiao stood there without moving.
Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased: "Zixiao, your mother is calling you. What's wrong with you?"
Gu Zixiao said expressionlessly, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm leaving."
Gu Zixiao regretted it once again; if he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have come.
Mrs. Gu was somewhat embarrassed and angry, her eyes reddening. Mr. Gu said angrily, "Gu Zixiao, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep disobeying your elders?"
Sitting not far from the couple, Lin Qingqing felt a little awkward. She comforted Gu's father and mother, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Zixiao probably just finished a mission and hasn't calmed down yet. Besides, he wasn't feeling well just now, so you have to forgive him."
Mrs. Gu hummed in agreement, her eyes reddening, "Qingqing, you're so understanding, unlike my brat."
Lin Qingqing smiled shyly and looked at Gu Zixiao: "Brother Zixiao, come here quickly. Second Uncle, Second Aunt didn't mean it just now, they are your elders..."
Gu Zixiao picked at his ear and impatiently interrupted her.
"Who are you? Do we know each other? Since we don't know each other, don't call me brother. I don't raise my own sister, so don't ruin my reputation. If I can't get married because of you, I'll come to your Lin family and give you brothers a good lesson."
Lin Qingqing: ……
Gu Zixiao's parents: ...
Mrs. Gu blinked, looked at her husband, and asked uncertainly, "Did I just hear Zixiao say that she was going to marry herself off?"
Mr. Gu paused for a moment, then said, "I think I heard him say that too."
Gu's mother stood up abruptly, her face darkening: "Gu Zixiao, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Gu Zixiao shrugged: "Anyway, you two have so many sons, you won't miss one more. And I just happen to like being a kept man who marries into your family. So don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary, go find your other sons."
Gu Zixiao originally wanted to leave, but then he remembered that Lan Yao wanted the jade, and he hadn't gotten it yet.
Fortunately, Gu's mother had some of the gifts he had given her before.
At the time, Gu's mother seemed to look down on them, casually tossing aside the things he gave her, and even giving some of them directly to her sisters-in-law.
Thinking of this, Gu Zixiao simply went to his mother's place first and collected the jade jewelry there. Then he went to his sisters-in-law's places and took away all the jade jewelry he had brought back earlier.
At first, Gu's mother didn't react. When she did, she cried and started yelling at Gu Zixiao, but Gu Zixiao completely ignored her and even knocked her unconscious to avoid disturbing him.
As for Mr. Gu? Gu Zixiao didn't even give him a chance to talk nonsense, and made him suffer the same fate as Mrs. Gu.
Lin Qingqing was completely dumbfounded. She never expected Gu Zixiao to do such a thing. It was simply too ruthless.
But, but… Lin Qingqing clutched her violently pounding heart.
For some reason, seeing Gu Zixiao's ruthless side, she didn't feel scared at all; instead, she wanted to marry Gu Zixiao even more. What should she do?
Gu Zixiao had no idea what Lin Qingqing was thinking. After taking his things, he also moved a lot of things from the kitchen, including nutritional supplements, and then left in a good mood.
After he left, the entire Gu family started making a scene.
Grandpa Gu said, "Zixiao is doing this for our own good. Things are so strict now. I've repeatedly told you not to stay at home, but did you listen? Now is the perfect time."
With Old Master Gu speaking up and the men of the Gu family reprimanding the women, the women of the Gu family, no matter how unwilling they were, could only accept their fate.
When Gu Zixiao returned to Grandma Yu's place, Grandma Yu was making dinner.
Grandma Yu didn't make anything complicated for dinner. She just made some egg pancakes, cooked a big pot of millet porridge, and some pickled vegetables she had made herself.
Seeing the simple meal, Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao lying on the recliner and asked, "You have diarrhea too?"
Otherwise, given Grandma Yu's doting affection for Lan Yao, she wouldn't have cooked such a bland meal so late at night.
"Yes. But I told Grandma Yu I was fine. But she wouldn't listen."
Gu Zixiao squatted down next to Lan Yao and handed him the boxes she was holding: "Grandma Yu is just worried about you. If it were me, I would also make you light food. Here, these are the things you wanted."
Lan Yao took the item, opened it, and found it was full of jade ornaments.
Where did it come from?
Gu Zixiao: "I found it while doing a mission before."
Lan Yao said "Oh," and replied, "I don't want it. I can't accept something for nothing."
Gu Zixiao: "You've disappointed me a lot."
Lan Yao: "Huh?"
Gu Zixiao: "Didn't you ask me to bring a gift at noon? Now that I've brought it, you're not accepting it. Are you just playing with me?"
Lan Yao: "Yeah, I was just kidding. Besides, this thing is so valuable. I wouldn't dare accept it."
She accepted the small amounts of money for food and other necessities, thinking she could simply return them later.
But the things Gu Zixiao brought back this time were truly incredibly valuable.
Given the inexplicable relationship between Lan Yao and him, how could Lan Yao dare to accept it?
Gu Zixiao remained unmoved: "Just keep it as I told you to. Why all the nonsense? Otherwise, I'll make a scene."
Lan Yao chuckled lightly: "What kind of trouble do you want to cause? Tell me?"
Gu Zixiao: "For example, I'll sneak into your room in the middle of the night and throw myself into your arms, making it impossible for you to shake me off."
Lan Yao: ...
She twitched her lips: "Don't you think you're being despicable and shameless?"
Gu Zixiao: "I don't think so. Besides, Lan Yao, my patience is limited. And I'm not a good person either. Once my patience runs out, I will try every means to get you, even if it's shameful, I will not give up."
The jade Pixiu couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Master, he's so cool!"
Jade Abacus: "What's so cool about that? It's just too crazy. Master, he's in danger, let's run."
Gu Zixiao added, "Don't even think about running away. No matter where you run, I'll find you."
Lan Yao: "Being too persistent is not a good thing. Besides, you are still young. Maybe when you grow up, you will meet someone better than me."
Gu Zixiao's lips twitched: "I'm not young anymore, at least I'm older than you."
Lan Yao is only sixteen, and will be seventeen after the New Year. He'll be twenty-three by then!
Lan Yao said "Oh," and replied, "Yes, I am indeed very young. So you'd better stop bothering me."
Gu Zixiao: "We can get married first. Besides, you're old enough to get married. We can sleep together when you've grown a bit more."
Lan Yao: ...
She really didn't want to talk to him; he had even thought about what would happen in the future.
