Chapter 54 Brother Ji Falls from the Sky
Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding half a bag of potato chips in his hand, chewing them with a crunching sound.
His eyes were fixed on the shaking video on the phone screen.
The video title is particularly eye-catching.
Return of the Century! The mysterious young master of the Ji family, Ji Yunzhou, appears at the airport in City A!
In the picture, the man was surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black. He was tall and slender, wearing a well-cut black coat. His sunglasses covered most of his face, revealing only his cold jaw and tightly pursed thin lips.
With such pomp and grandeur, if you didn’t know, you would think it was the head of state of some country visiting.
Gu Yuan's potato chip crumbs fell all over him.
He suddenly paused the video and zoomed in and out with two fingers.
He almost poked his head through the screen, staring intently at the little bit of nose bridge and the curve of the mouth corners that appeared under the sunglasses.
familiar.
So damn familiar.
This was clearly the same person who was lying next to him last night, forcing him to catch ghosts in the middle of the night.
Then the man who said he had things to deal with early in the morning!
According to the news, Ji Yunzhou is the youngest son of the Ji family, who is so powerful that the financial circle of City A can tremble with just a stomp of his foot. He is held in the palm of his hand for fear of dropping him, and in his mouth for fear of melting him.
Studying abroad for many years?
Now that he has returned to China after completing his studies, he is about to take over part of the family business.
Ten thousand alpaca races raced through Gu Yuan's mind.
Ji Yunzhou?
The Thousand-Year-Old Ghost King?
The young master of the Ji family?
The gap between these two identities is like heaven and earth.
So what he meant by having things to deal with was returning to the human world to be his multi-millionaire young master?
So he came back late yesterday because he went out to go through the motions?
The bag of potato chips in Gu Yuan's hand was completely sacrificed and was crushed into a ball by him.
He glanced down at his silk pajamas and then around the large apartment.
This is simply...
It’s just great!
Will he still worry about having no money in the future?
"Ha ha……"
He laughed dryly twice: "This fate... is really a genius writer."
He thought of his marriage with Ji Yunzhou.
It started as a blood contract forced by Grandpa Lin, but later Ji Yunzhou took the initiative to change it into a marriage contract in order to extend his life.
What is Ji Yunzhou thinking?
Gu Yuan still doesn't understand.
Maybe the Ghost King's thinking is just so different that I like him?
Or is he some kind of cauldron for cultivation that is hard to come by once in a thousand years?
...Forget it, he has done it many times, and he hasn't felt anything wrong so far.
Now he understands.
Maybe Ji Yunzhou came to the human world to experience life!
He really is unwilling to compromise himself whether as a human or a ghost.
Gu Yuan began to fall into deep thought.
Why? On what basis?
This is everyone’s first reincarnation.
No, he suspected that Ji Yunzhou didn't need to reincarnate at all. Why was the difference so big?
Why was it that Gu Yuan, abandoned at birth, had an extremely yin body coveted by all kinds of ghosts and monsters, had a short life, and could only work in the underworld to prolong his life?
Ji Yunzhou was born in Rome. As a ghost, he is the king of all ghosts, and as a human, he is a rich young man. He can switch between the two easily and without any pressure.
Could this be the legendary destiny child vs destiny abandoned child?
Destined to be entangled?
Is the cost of this entanglement a bit too high?
Gu Yuan has a total of 200 yuan on him, and he is playing the game of "contract marriage" with the young master of the Ji family?
He can’t afford the game coins!
Gu Yuan collapsed on the sofa and began to recall every detail of his encounter with Ji Yunzhou.
He never mentioned what role he played in the world.
First, there is the question of "money".
When Ji Yunzhou first arrived, he did take modern human society for granted.
I can also make comments to a large extent and know a lot of things.
Like diving and surfing two years ago?
And many more...
One time when they went to the vegetable market together to buy vegetables, Gu Yuan was picking and choosing and haggling with the stall owner for fifty cents until his face turned red and his neck became thick. Ji Yunzhou was mocking him in his mind.
When Gu Yuan was finally about to leave with the tomatoes that were fifty cents cheaper, Ji Yunzhou suddenly controlled his body, took out a small golden ingot from somewhere, and handed it to the stall owner.
"Is that enough?"
Lord Ghost King spoke in a calm tone, as if he was handing over a stone.
Stall owner: “???”
Gu Yuan: "!!!"
At that moment, Gu Yuan immediately resisted his control, stuffed the gold ingots back into the bag, then took out his mobile phone with a cracked screen, quickly scanned the code to pay, and fled the scene.
"Where did you get the gold?" Gu Yuan asked breathlessly.
Could it be stolen?
"I have plenty."
Ji Yunzhou answered as if it was a matter of course: "Don't people like gold nowadays?"
"I like your head! Don't take it out again!"
Gu Yuan was about to have a myocardial infarction: "Also, where did you hide this thing...is there a lot?"
Ji Yunzhou thought for a moment: "The treasury is piled high like a mountain, and the exact number has not yet been counted."
Of course he was talking about the treasure in his den.
Gu Yuan thought he was bragging at the time. After all, it was a ghost, so it was normal for him to use some tricks to produce some ghost money and gold ingots.
Now he understood that it might be true!
This gentleman may really be sitting on a mountain of gold.
Thinking back to when he first met Ji Yunzhou, Ji Yunzhou complained every day that his food was not nutritious.
They even encouraged him to set up a fortune-telling stall under the overpass!!!
The more Gu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he was just a fool who was kept in the dark.
After the anger and sense of absurdity, Gu Yuan's thoughts began to gallop in a strange direction.
Ji Family...
Do you know the other identity of their precious little son?
Judging from the way Ji Yunzhou was trying to keep it a secret, he probably didn't know about it.
That's where the problem comes in.
In the eyes of the Ji family, their precious youngest son, who had just returned to China, was maintaining an intimate relationship with a penniless man.
There's even an engagement.
This scene is so beautiful that Gu Yuan dare not think about it.
What happens next?
Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
A classic scene from a TV series!
Is it going to happen?
He immediately began to direct and act out the story in his mind...
[Scene: A private room in a high-end coffee shop]
An elite man wearing a haute couture suit, meticulously combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses.
The eldest brother of the Ji family? Or the housekeeper?
Sitting opposite him, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking him up and down as if she was evaluating a defective product.
Gu Yuan, wearing his most torn jeans and a washed-out T-shirt, tried hard to put on a stubborn expression that said, "I'm poor but I have backbone," while his mind was full of calculations.
"Mr. Gu, right?"
The elite man spoke, his voice cold and emotionless: "Let's get straight to the point. We know about your relationship with Young Master Yunzhou."
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes, his fingers nervously picking at the corner of his clothes.
Inner thoughts: Quick! Get out your checkbook! Let me feel the power of capital!
"Yunzhou is young and naive. He might have been exposed to some... bad habits abroad."
The elite man pushed up his glasses, a cold light flashing across the lenses: "But he is a member of the Ji family after all. His future has been planned, including his marriage."
Gu Yuan raised his head at the right moment, his eyes showing three parts of fragility, three parts of unwillingness, and four parts of pretending to be strong:
"Yun Zhou and I are truly in love!"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the elite man's face, and what he took out from his expensive briefcase was not a checkbook, but a document?
"Here's a check for five million."
The man gently pushed the check toward him.
Gu Yuan thought to himself: Here it comes! A classic style! I hope it’s in US dollars, but RMB is fine too! I’m not picky!
However, the next second, the man took out another document.
"Also, this is the 'Lifetime VIP Membership Contract for a Subsidiary of the Ji Group.'"
The elite man said calmly, "With this contract, you can enjoy lifetime free consumption services in all of Ji's properties, including but not limited to hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and entertainment venues, with no upper limit."
Gu Yuan: "!!!"
Holy crap! Upgraded version!
Free meal tickets for life!
The methods of capitalists are so simple and unpretentious!
But wait, this doesn't look like what's shown on TV? Why does it come with a VIP card?
The elite man seemed to see through his doubts and added, "You may soon spend the check, or it may be defrauded. The Ji family does not want Master Yunzhou to be entangled again because of your embarrassment one day in the future. This VIP contract can guarantee you a life of worry-free food and clothing, and a decent life. The premise is..."
The man's voice became even colder: "Please leave Master Yunzhou immediately and promise never to see each other again."
Gu Yuan looked at the check and the VIP contract that gleamed with golden light, his heart torn between conscience and desire.
Five million + lifetime unlimited free card!
vs
A ghost husband who has a great status but doesn’t give him money to spend and has a lot of troubles?
This multiple-choice question...seems a bit difficult!
Well, it’s not that difficult actually.
Should he try to give in to the challenge?
"No! How can you insult our love like this!"
Then the elite men will increase their bets?
"Ten million, plus the title deed to this luxury house in the city center."
Gu Yuan covered his heart, breathing rapidly: "I... I need to think about it..."
The elite man lost his patience: "This is the final price. If you agree, you can take it. If you don't agree..."
The two bodyguards behind the man took a step forward, their muscles bulging.
Gu Yuan immediately became possessed by his acting spirit, two tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and he picked up the pen with trembling hands: "I'm sorry, Yun Zhou... Love is too fragile in the face of reality..."
