CHAPTER 972: CHAPTER 972: GU XINGRUO’S OBSESSION WITH CHANGING FEES

"Ah." Gu Xingruo mumbled a reply, naturally not mentioning why he didn’t eat.

If Gu Huaijin found out he failed at his hunger strike, where’s his dignity?

Gu Huaijin listened to Gu Xingruo’s response but didn’t think much about it.

After all, Gu Xingruo’s profession is special, having a late-night snack this late is normal.

However, not thinking much about it is one thing, but as the big brother, it’s another thing to express some concern for his younger brother, so he casually reminded, "Don’t bring the habits from the base back home."

That habit isn’t good, it’s fine if it harms his body, but there are still two girls at home, they mustn’t be led astray.

Especially the little girl, her routine and eating habits are very healthy. It wouldn’t be good if she learned bad habits from Gu Xingruo.

Hearing Gu Huaijin’s words, Gu Xingruo could guess what Gu Huaijin was thinking, lazily responding, "Oh."

"If you teach the little girl bad habits, your pocket money will be halved again."

Gu Xingruo: "..."

If it gets halved again, there’ll be nothing left!

"I got it, I got it, with her old person’s schedule, who could lead her astray." After saying this, Gu Xingruo didn’t continue the topic but asked Gu Huaijin, "You know about the little girl’s amnesia, right?"

Gu Huaijin was wearing an apron, standing by the stove, cooking noodles.

Upon hearing Gu Xingruo’s question, his actions paused slightly, then he casually replied, "Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingruo sneered inwardly, "So, none of you thought to tell me?"

Gu Huaijin heard this but said nothing.

In this situation, no one would wish for others in the family to know.

Like when Gu Yuluo was the first to discover Gu Zhiqi’s amnesia.

If he hadn’t asked, Gu Yuluo probably would have kept it a secret.

After all, in the entire Gu Family, who wouldn’t want to solely pamper the little girl?

Seeing Gu Huaijin silent, Gu Xingruo spat inwardly, but outwardly he spoke with an innocent look, "With amnesia, the little girl should have forgotten all of you, right?"

Not knowing why Gu Xingruo suddenly asked this, Gu Huaijin turned to glance at Gu Xingruo, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Gu Xingruo leaned against the kitchen door, still wearing an innocent look, "If she didn’t recognize you, she shouldn’t have called you big brother at the start, right?"

Gu Huaijin still said nothing, waiting for Gu Xingruo’s next words.

However, he could guess what Gu Xingruo was going to say.

Gu Xingruo: "How much did you offer her to start calling you brother?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin recalled, then said, "About twenty million."

It wasn’t entirely hush money, but after giving that twenty million, the little girl called him brother for the first time since losing her memory.

Gu Xingruo: !

Gu Xingruo looked at Gu Huaijin, speaking up, "Brother!"

Gu Huaijin: ?

"Are you nuts?"

Suddenly calling him brother, could it be that he’s in some kind of trouble and needs him to clean up?

Gu Xingruo looked eagerly at Gu Huaijin, "I want hush money too."

Gu Huaijin: "...If you don’t want to be kicked out of the house, act normally."

Gu Xingruo: "You’re favoring girls over boys!"

"You’re not my son, go talk to mom and dad." Gu Huaijin said, then turned around, standing by the stove, cooking noodles.

Gu Xingruo: "..."

**

The next day, it was the three siblings, Gu Zhiqi, Gu Huaijin, and Gu Xingruo, riding the car together to Sea City No.1 Middle School.

As they were about to reach the teaching building, Gu Xingruo, wearing a mask, sidled up to Gu Xiyue and said, "Sister Yue, where’s your exam room? I heard you’re also in class 29, so you must be in the last exam room, right? Let’s go together."

Gu Xingruo firmly believed that as long as he called her Sister Yue enough times, he could get some hush money.
