Gu Chen wanted to say something, but Chu Xuxu had already gone in. He chuckled and turned to look at Chu Xuxu. who was she talking about?
Xiao Guyi ran out from the balcony with the cat in her arms. “Brother, what are you talking about with sister Xiaoxiao?”
“I said I’ll keep an eye on you from now on and don’t Go Freeloading,”Gu Chen said as he got up and rubbed her head. “I’m going for lunch break.”
Xiao Guyi looked up at Gu Chen. “Big Brother isn’t a gentleman today.”
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean by a Gentleman?”
Xiao Guyi tilted her little head. “It’s just like how big brothers used to treat our big brothers, but they didn’t treat big sister Tao Yao’s Big Brother.”
Wasn’t he treating Tao Yao very normally?
“Because she lied,”Gu Chen said as he pushed his little sister to her room. “Go to bed.”
“I can lie too.”Xiao Guyi wasn’t convinced. No matter how she looked at it, she felt like her brother treated sister Tao differently.
Gu Chen reached out and threw the cloth bag into its cat bed. He then watched as Gu Yi lay down on the bed. “You’re still young.”
Gu Yi clicked her tongue. This brother was probably hopeless.
Gu Chen sat by the bed and pulled the blanket over Gu Yi. “Go to bed.”
Gu Yi opened her mouth, but in the end, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Gu Chen waited until Gu Yi fell asleep before he got up and went out.
Tao Yao got off the bus and reached into her bag to take out makeup remover and cotton wool. She removed all the light makeup from her face downstairs and put it on. She was simply sick.
After Tao Yao returned home, her parents were watching TV in the living room. When they heard the door open, Tao Yao’s mother hurriedly got up to welcome her. However, when she saw her daughter enter the bathroom, she hurriedly followed her to the bathroom door.
“Yao Yao, what did you do today?”
Tao Yao stood in front of the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. There were still some eyeliner that had not been removed, and it was hanging at the corner of her eyes.
“It’s nothing. I went to the GU enterprise to sign the contract. Mom, you and my dad should go back to Tao village tomorrow. The compensation from the GU enterprise has been given. It will compensate the people in Tao village nine years’salary according to the market price. Moreover, according to the land area that was given out back then, we can change houses,”Tao Yao said, she wiped off the remaining eyeliner at the corner of her eyes.
Gu Chen had promised to triple the compensation back then, and he had done it. She didn’t have to worry about this at all.
Did he go to sign the contract?
Mother Tao was a little disappointed. She had thought that her daughter had put on makeup to go on a date, but now it seemed like she had done it. “Yaoyao, I heard that Zhong Zhuo is back. If you have time, invite her over for dinner.”
She knew her daughter too well, so Tao Yao decided to start with her daughter’s best friend.
Tao Yao did not suspect her. She washed her face and came out with a towel. “Sure, I’ll call her over when I have time. Dad, when you go over tomorrow, bring a copy of the house deed from before. The rooms will be divided according to the area points.”
Tao Yao’s father nodded and looked at Tao Yao, who still seemed to be somewhat prepared.
Tao Yao was supposed to go to the kitchen, but when she saw her father’s expression, she asked, “Dad, What’s Wrong?”
After asking, Tao Yao saw her mother bump into her father. It seemed that she did not want her father to speak, so Tao Yao gave up on the idea of going to the kitchen. She turned around and looked at the two elders. “Do you have anything you want to say?”
“Nothing,”Tao Yao’s mother said and pulled her husband to sit down. “Mom will stew ribs for you tonight.”
Tao Yao nodded and went into the kitchen to pour water.
“Why didn’t you let me say it?”Father Tao said unhappily.
“Say what? It’s been so many years since we’ve contacted your brother. It’s fine now. We’ve received the compensation from the GU enterprise. We’re going to split the rooms, and they’re here again,”mother Tao said unhappily.
