After leaving Lu Yī, Lu San, and the rest of the people at the Council House, Lu Chengzhou took Gu Mang back to the villa. He held her hand and lifted his chin to the upper floors. “Go up and rest.”
On their way back home, Gu Mang felt a little sleepy, so she napped in his arms for half an hour.
“Okay.” Gu Mang nodded while taking off her hat to comb her hair with her hands. She then slowly made her way upstairs.
It was only when she had completely disappeared from sight that Lu Chengzhou retracted his gaze. He turned around to find Gu Si staring at him.
“Hmph!” The little one turned his head away and stormed off angrily at the sight of Lu Chengzhou. However, he was grabbed by the collar before he could walk far. His countenance darkened. “Lu—!”
His voice became muffled as Lu Chengzhou placed a hand over his mouth. The latter’s voice rang lazily above his head. “Don’t make your sister come down. She needs to rest.”
Gu Si immediately quietened down.
Lu Chengzhou, thus, removed his hand and walked over to sit on the sofa. “You can’t be so unreasonable, Gu Si. How can you take my money and still act this way toward me?”
Yu Mufeng was pissed off by how arrogantly Lu Chengzhou was acting in front of Gu Si. “You can’t say that, Brother Cheng. Gu Si doesn’t even want to talk to you. He almost went to kill you.”
“Yeah.” Lu Chengzhou nodded as he poured himself a glass of water. “I even stopped him myself.”
When Gu Si noticed Yu Mufeng and Jiangsui’s puzzled expressions, he put on an aggrieved look and cried, “You guys still don’t know yet! This Bai Sui and the previous Bai Sui are two different people! The one before was Lu Chengzhou!”
“What are you talking about?” Both Yu Mufeng and Jiangsui could not understand what Gu Si was talking about. They glanced at Bai Sui, who was standing quietly at the side, before shifting their gaze to Lu Chengzhou, who was sitting on the sofa.
It was then that Yu Mufeng belatedly realized something. No wonder Gu Mang suddenly trusted Bai Sui so much and even used his things but somehow changed her attitude toward him again.
Jiangsui had also figured out what was going on. He swallowed his saliva with much difficulty. What the f*ck?! So it was Lu Chengzhou all along since the time Gu Mang was forced to take her meds? No, it could’ve been him since way earlier!
Yu Mufeng looked at Lu Chengzhou wordlessly. That explains why Gu Si changed the group chat’s name again and declared that Lu Chengzhou was his sworn enemy. Thinking about it, Gu Si had been singing Lu Chengzhou’s praises, coming to his defense, and even addressing him as Brother Sui. This is g*dd*mn crazy…
Talking about this matter made Gu Si fume even more. He gnashed his teeth. “No amount of money can repair the damage you caused to my poor little soul by cheating me of my feelings!”
Poor little soul, my *ss. Lu Chengzhou was rendered momentarily speechless. “I get it. Ten million isn’t enough, right? In that case, twenty million.”
Yu Mufeng and Jiangsui saw clearly how brightly Gu Si’s eyes lit up.
“Hmph.” Gu Si took out his phone and showed Lu Chengzhou a QR code in a wishy-washy manner. “Add me on WeChat.”
“What for?” Lu Chengzhou cocked an eyebrow as he took out his phone and scanned the code. However, his phone’s WeChat notification alert began ringing like crazy as soon as he added Gu Si as a friend. His phone was vibrating so hard that he almost dropped it. He looked at the screen and noticed that he had received over two hundred messages in just the blink of an eye. All of them read: [Brother-in-law.]
“Twenty million for each time I address you as my brother-in-law. Thank you for your patronage.” Gu Si cackled. My efforts to write a ‘Call my brother-in-law’ program didn’t go to waste!
The phone was still vibrating and the notification alerts were still ringing. The number of unread messages had reached 500 while Gu Si was talking.
Gu Si stared at Lu Chengzhou’s phone excitedly at the thought of becoming rich in no time.
Speechless, Lu Chengzhou wondered, Is this kid trying to make me bankrupt?
