CHAPTER 228: CHAPTER 228: FOCUSING FIRE ON GU YUNMU

The busy CEO made a special effort to carve out a day to visit his cousin.

After lunch, he followed them back to the neighborhood.

Gu Cheng brought out a set of casual home clothes.

"Why don’t you stay over tonight."

During the meal, Gu Qize mentioned that he has a business luncheon in Jiang City the following day and would leave after concluding his business.

Although the family also had a villa in this neighborhood, it hadn’t been lived in for years. Even with regular cleaning, it lacked the vibrant atmosphere, making it uncomfortable to stay in.

This was the reason Gu Yunmu stayed the previous day, and Gu Cheng relayed it straightforwardly to Gu Qize.

With his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed and before Gu Qize could speak, a little ball of energy pounced over and hugged his leg.

"Qize Brother, stay over. There’s no lack of rooms in the villa, and not staying is simply wasteful."

Gu Qize: "I..."

Tuanzi compared Gu Qize’s height to her elder brother’s, nodding with satisfaction, "About the same height, about the same build. You can wear my brother’s clothes."

"I..."

Gu Yunmu, who was sitting cross-legged playing a game, loudly remarked, "Miaomiao, he’s disdaining your big brother. He definitely doesn’t want to wear clothes that others have worn."

Gu Qize shot a sharp glance.

Gu Yunmu turned the other way, continuing to play his game, leaving Gu Qize facing Tuanzi and her brother.

The brother and sister stared at him.

The young CEO conceded, "I’ll go change."

Actually, his assistant would arrive in Jiang City tonight, bringing both casual and formal clothes.

But he couldn’t bring himself to say that now.

His cousin and cousin-in-law were just being kind. It was the annoying brother who was at fault.

Having changed into casual home clothes, Gu Qize felt uneasy coming to the living room. Seeing his brother sitting playing a game on the sofa as if it were his own home, acting so carefree, made him somewhat irritated.

But this was someone else’s home, and he had to hold back.

He casually took out his phone to check the news, catching a glimpse of his sister bringing over a plate of preserves.

"Qize Brother, want some?"

Gu Qize looked down at the hand holding the phone, then at his sister’s expectant face, feeling torn.

However, with his usually stern face, ordinary people couldn’t see his dilemma.

"Oh oh, the phone is dirty."

Tuanzi immediately understood, picking up a preserved plum and bringing it to his lips, "Ah!"

Gu Qize: "..."

The system hesitated to speak.

Gu Qize’s hand had touched the phone, but wasn’t your hand not very clean, dear host?

It figured, given Gu Qize’s apparent display of obsessive cleanliness, he wouldn’t eat it.

Gu Qize looked down at the plum, then at his sister’s fair little face, feeling an intense internal struggle.

If he didn’t eat, his sister might misunderstand; if he did eat...he usually didn’t eat things that weren’t packaged.

At this moment, a fluffy head leaned over, grabbing Tuanzi’s arm with one hand.

Tuanzi’s hand turned, and the plum was brought to another’s mouth.

"Ah!"

Gu Yunmu bit the plum off, happily sitting back, loudly saying, "The plum sister gives is the best."

Gu Qize: "..."

The CEO couldn’t tolerate his appearance any longer, "Either don’t get ear piercings or have an equal number on each ear."

Two on one side and three on the other, it just looked uncomfortable.

Someone didn’t even lift their head, "Is someone a mama’s boy? Worrying about so much! Even moms don’t worry this much!"

Tuanzi silently ate her preserves.

After a while, Gu Yunmu, who got cheated by useless teammates, cursed loudly.

Gu Qize warned coldly, "Don’t say vulgar things, especially not in front of the child."

Gu Yunmu couldn’t find words to respond.

It was a rare occasion where he was made speechless, and he quickly found a remedy, reaching to pat Tuanzi’s head.

"Miaomiao, remember to cover your ears if you hear me swearing later."

Tuanzi’s eyes widened, "Can’t you just not swear?"

Gu Yunmu responded awkwardly, "In the heat of gaming, it’s hard to control."

Tuanzi immediately looked at him with contempt.

At this moment, Gu Qize also said softly, "Your hand touched the phone, touched the preserves, has been in your hair, and now it’s touching Miaomiao’s hair?"

Tuanzi: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

She started off running with her little legs.

"Big brother, Miaomiao needs to wash her hair!"

After washing and blow-drying her hair, Tuanzi hugged an apple and went to the yard.

"Can’t get close to those brothers," she seemed to talking to herself, "it’s dangerous."

After speaking, she raised the apple to take a bite.

[Ancient Martial System: The apple was washed, but you didn’t wash your hands]

Tuanzi: "...Have you been infected too?"

In the evening, everyone moved to the second uncle’s house for dinner.

Gu Rui and Mu Xue cooked, and Gu Wangchao was home.

As for the house next door, only Gu Mo, who had just returned from a conference, was there.

Everyone rarely met, so Gu Yunmu enthusiastically took out a deck of cards.

"Let’s play cards."

Five people and one child, Tuanzi didn’t know how to play, stating she could cheer for everyone.

Gu Wangchao, who didn’t like competing with others, also planned to sit out.

Gu Yunmu glanced at him and casually said, "Pei Hai is great at cards, you’re his brother, so you should be pretty good too, right?"

Gu Wangchao: "..." Even knowing this cousin meant no harm, he was still annoyed.

Gu Mo said he hadn’t played before, but he could give it a try.

Gu Yunmu enthusiastically taught him and added, "Gu Chi is pretty good too, but he’s sly. You’re definitely not as cunning as him."

The young professor seemed a bit dissatisfied.

"Little Chi is not sly, he’s very honest."

"Wow, you have such thick brother filters," Gu Yunmu teased him, "Are you a brother-con?"

Gu Mo: "..." This cousin was so annoying!

Gu Qize didn’t participate, so Gu Cheng joined in.

Tuanzi pinched his arm, "Big brother, you have to win okay."

Gu Cheng nodded seriously.

Gu Yunmu casually commented, "Miaomiao, having too much of a competitive spirit isn’t a good thing."

Tuanzi: "...That’s a sister’s concern for her brother, not a competitive spirit."

The system watched helplessly as, round after round, Gu Yunmu offended everyone with just his mouth.

In the end, no matter who was playing cards and no matter who the landlord was, everyone would team up against him alone.

[Ancient Martial System: In a sense, he’s also pretty skilled]

[Miaomiao: Huh? Who are you talking about?]

At the card table, everyone continued to target Gu Yunmu.

The blue-haired handsome guy screamed, "Gu Mo Bro, we’re on the same side, Gu Cheng Bro is the landlord!"

The young professor pretended not to hear.

After a few more rounds, Gu Yunmu became the landlord.

At this moment, Gu Wangchao stood up to fetch water. Glancing down, he caught a clear view of Gu Yunmu’s hand and immediately signaled to the other two at the table.

Gu Yunmu was soundly defeated.

"Strange, why does it feel like you guys know my cards? Did you mark the cards?"

Tuanzi, who had witnessed all the antics, claimed she didn’t understand.

The next day, Gu Qize left hurriedly to attend a business luncheon.

That night, Gu Yunmu begrudgingly attended an event.

Before leaving, he was mumbling something about moving his company to Jiang City.

"I don’t want to stay in the same city as my big brother anymore."

Standing at the door, he looked expectantly at Tuanzi, "Miaomiao, how about I stay at your place when I come?"

Tuanzi blinked and slowly walked to the door. With her little paw, she clutched the handle and shut the door in front of Gu Yunmu.

Gu Yunmu: "..."

That night as well, Shan Fengxing hit 25 million followers on social media and went live to thank his fans.
