Tang Xing pinched Zhizhi's little face and smiled at her. "Zhizhi, you have to eat well. You'll look better if you're chubby."
"You'll only be uglier if you get fat! Aren't you women on a diet?" A boy's voice in his puberty interrupted. It was Gu Yu who could not wait and sneaked in.
Gu Yu could not hide the surprise in his eyes when he saw his little sister, who seemed to have changed into a different person, but he still spoke rudely.
Lin Wan said to Han Li and Tang Xing helplessly, "Boys at this age are really brash. They just don't know how to talk nicely. Our Gu Chong was like this when he was young.
"Not all of them," Tang Xing laughed and said, "I don't think Gu Lin is like that."
"That's right, even with Gu Su and Gu Tang added together, it isn't as annoying as Gu Yu!" Han Li said.
The three women were talking about Gu Yu in front of him. Gu Yu exploded. "Mom! You're too biased! You despise me, you really only like my brothers! Hmph! I want to run away from home!"
His mouth was saying one thing, but his feet did not move. Instead, he made a face at the ladies that were looking at him curiously.
The adults did not take his runaway seriously at all. After the age of ten, Gu Yu would always complain about running away from home, but he never moved. Later, even the Old Master advised him, "Good grandson, why don't you take action for once? At least keep your word and don't let them always look down on you!"
At that time, his family burst into laughter.
Gu Yu's motto was-as long as I'm not embarrassed, the one who's embarrassed is someone else!
In terms of the thickness of his skin, if he claimed to be in second place, no one would compete with him for first place.
"You'll meet bad people if you run away from home," only Zhizhi said softly. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the young man in front of her with a serious expression.
Gu Yu's heart softened at the sight of those big eyes, but he said nonchalantly, "Tsk! What's so great about bad guys?! I'll punch him left and right! I'll beat him to death!"
As he spoke, he started to perform 'free combat' in front of everyone.
Han Li rolled his eyes at her youngest son, but Zhizhi laughed.
This young man did not seem to have a good brain. Brother Shen Bai was about the same height as him, but he knew everything.
Thinking of Brother Shen Bai, Zhizhi lowered her eyes.
Tang Xing stopped him with a smile. "Alright! You're going to scare your sister like this! What are you doing up here?"
Only then did Gu Yu remember the mission he had been assigned. "Dad is asking if you're done and can eat now."
Han Li reached out and hit his son. "Little Brat! Then why didn't you talk about serious matters?"
Gu Yu felt wronged. "Mom! You keep hitting my head! What if I'm beaten silly?"
Han Li was not in a good mood. "So what if you're silly? You're not smart anyway. I don't mind hitting you a few more times!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to attack again.
Gu Yu bent down and picked up Zhizhi, who was watching the fun, and ran away. As he ran, he said, "Then I'll take your precious daughter away!"
Zhizhi jumped in shock and instinctively wrapped her arms around Gu Yu's neck. Gu Yu quickly ran downstairs, causing a group of women to shout behind him. "Gu Yu, slow down!"
"Gu Yu, be careful of your sister!"
"Little Brat, stop right there!"
Zhizhi could not help but giggle when she finally reacted. This brother was quite fun to play with.
Gu Yu ran down the stairs with his sister in his arms and pushed her to his grandfather's side. He said in disdain, "She's not even as heavy as a cat! There's really no challenge!"
Gu Sen hugged Zhizhi and rebuked, "Don't be so rough, don't drop your sister!"
Gu Yu sat down on the other side of the old man, took his grandfather's arm, and complained, "Grandpa, you're the best to me in the whole family. Now even you're favoring Sister. I'm so pitiful!"
Gu Sen laughed and held Zhizhi in his arms. "You're already 12 years old. When your older brother is at your age, and he's already attending the Board of Directors. He's already starting to make money by investing in the stock market. You have the cheek to be jealous of your little sister?"
Gu Yu blushed, which was a rare sight. He turned his head away and said nothing.
Gu Sen patted Zhizhi's head affectionately and said to everyone, "Before the child was born, Master Yongan of Lingye Temple said that she would solve the problem for the Gu family and suffer on behalf of all of us. Think about it, our Gu family has been thriving all these years. Everyone has been living a smooth life, but this child is suffering outside. Isn't it just as Master Yongan said?"
No one thought that it was superstition or that the old man was biased. Han Li, Lin Yang, and Tang Xing even had tears in their eyes.
