Chapter 42:

On the phone, Lu Ming paused, and asked softly, "Ruan Ruan, are you still there?"

She was overly surprised when she heard the news, and immediately called Ruan You emotionally without thinking about it.

During the long silence, Lu Ming's rationality slowly returned, and she thought of the hurdle that Ruan You couldn't get over, fearing that she would bind herself with emotion, so her voice involuntarily raised two points: "Maybe—maybe it's not Gu Fuchen! He's not the only one who has money, I'm just guessing."

Ruan You: "When you are guilty, your voice will be louder than usual."

Lu Ming shut the microphone honestly.

Ruan You knew what Lu Ming was worried about.

A long time ago, she also had this concern, and was silently relieved because the "only brother" was not Gu Fuchen. For her family, she can't accept blatant favoritism, and always thinks about how to repay it, so that it is only fair to let the other party feel the same preference.

She is very contradictory. On the one hand, she doesn't want her family to be too indifferent, but on the other hand, she doesn't want her family to be too enthusiastic. Sometimes I feel that her biological parents have suffered bad luck for about eight lifetimes, and they want to suffer from her who is so difficult to serve.

When she came back, everything here was completely in line with her requirements.

Brother Ba’s attitude is lukewarm, but he retains three points of concern for his family; his parents are busy abroad and have no time to come back, but they usually chat with her on WeChat from time to time, gradually transitioning from the initial unfamiliarity to the last time Hugging with my mother can also bring you back to your senses very quickly.

She didn't even notice these changes. When she found out, she had already quietly integrated into the family and became a part of the Gu family.

The same is true for his brother Gu Fuchen.

His opinion of him has changed from "a high-ranking heir who assigns homework that costs money" to a playwright domineering boss who inadvertently shows a childish side; But it hasn't progressed to the point where I can talk to my brother about everything.

When she found out that the "only brother" was Lu Jin, she breathed a sigh of relief. But this oolong made her start to examine the distance with Gu Fuchen's siblings.

—Why did she think at first that Gu Fuchen was the only brother?

In addition to being rich and being able to do peripheral work; there is also one thing in common: he treats her very well.

Gu Fuchen was very kind to her, she was vaguely aware of it but didn't have a trace of resistance, because Gu Fuchen, like a director in a movie, grasped the progress of the characters just right, so that she could subtly and calmly accept the care from her brother.

So at first she unreasonably believed that Gu Fuchen was her big fan, and that her brother was motivated and purposeful to defend her in Chaohua, all of which came from his concern for his sister.

Realizing this, as the younger sister, she began to give her brother "feedback".

She went with her brother to meet the people in the inpatient department, and waited for him to come out in the winter; to make him happy, hold a team building invitation, although she was dropped by pigeons in the end, but she and her brother went to the playground to play.

I also accidentally met Aunt Zhou Zhi in the orphanage, and they took pictures together.

When Ruan Chenchen's name became famous all over the country, her first thought was to lose face to the Gu family, and she would panic, but she would not be afraid that Brother Ba would say about her, or Aunt Zhou Zhi in the orphanage.

Taking the initiative to mention the past events and life to her brother seems to represent that she is reconciling with the past events; she is not afraid of making the shameful name "Ruan Chenchen" famous all over the world because she knows that her brother will never will scold her.

The lyrics say, "Those who are favored have nothing to fear"

She really felt this.

When I made a small report to Gu Fuchen about the little rabbit dolls in the past, Ruan You actually thought that her brother would fight back and would give them some color. There are so many ways to fight back, Gu Fuchen chose the most naive but also the most tender in her heart. Looking forward to a path.

When Sheng Bei snatched her rabbit doll, she hoped countless times that someone would come to help and beg Chi Yang, but he was indifferent and asked his adoptive parents, no one cared.

Now, sixteen years later, the expectation of six years old has come true.

The elder brother helped her **** back all the lost things.

Lu Ming was right.

She has a good brother.

In fact, she had realized this a few days ago.

Ruan You and Lu Ming assured her that she was fine now, so they urged Lu Ming to hang up the phone and go to the postgraduate entrance examination to review.

She is fine.

The last time I went to see "the only brother", I had already made enough mental preparations, and now I accept it very quickly. Not only that, but there is also a little joy in my heart, the joy of being liked.

Nervousness and panic naturally exist, but they can still be ignored, not to the point of being kidnapped by self-emotion.

Ruan You put away the little note, her gaze hovering over the two rabbit dolls.

In the end, Ruan You put the little doll that was snatched by Sheng Bei into the corner of the utility room. What she was holding in her hand was an ugly little rabbit made by Gu Fuchen.

She wants to welcome a new life.

At ten o'clock, Gu Fuchen was still awake.

The old housekeeper: "Mr. Gu Xiao didn't go to bed until nearly eight o'clock. I'm going to wake him up at eleven o'clock and leave for the airport to pick up Mr. Gu and Mrs. Ruan at half past eleven."

"Okay, let him sleep more." Ruan You shook the clown rabbit in her hand, and asked again: "I heard from Wei Wen that my brother has been doing this since he came back yesterday?"

The old butler smiled, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "Yes, the servant who taught Mr. Gu Xiao how to make a doll is dying of anxiety."

Wei Wen interjected: "I heard from other people this morning that the aunt who knew how to tailor was very courageous yesterday. She taught Mr. Gu several times and he still couldn't do it. Later, she got so angry that she called Mr. Gu stupid in front of her face. Mr. Gu Xiao can do business on weekdays, but this kind of needlework is deadly stupid. I woke up this morning and recalled what happened last night. I feel very regretful, so let me come over to find out Mr. Gu's attitude."

The scene of "a fierce aunt and a stupid heir" suddenly appeared in Ruan You's mind.

She chuckled, grabbed the ugly rabbit doll and went upstairs, found a well-lit and beautiful place on the balcony and took a picture of the rabbit.

Send this photo to Gu Fuchen.

[Plump Cat: Thank you brother, I like this gift very much]

Then I sent it to Moments again.

【The gift I saw when I woke up this morning~[Picture]】

Five minutes later, a small red dot with the number seven appeared in the column discovery. Four likes and three comments.

[Lu Xuan: Sister Yoyo, so you are so ugly that you can't sleep anymore]

[Jiang Huai: Can such an ugly doll be sold for money? Which manufacturer? 】

[Lu Jin:! 】

Those who liked it included Wu Wei, Cheng Xin, the team manager, and Fu Jiazhan.

Ruan You had no choice but to reply to Jiang Huai's comments.

【My brother made it by hand】

[Lu Xuan: Wow, it looks so good. Gifts are expensive because they are thoughtful. Ugly or not doesn't get in the way]

【Jianghuai: He really has energy】

Turning around, Jiang Huai chatted privately with Ruan You.

【What is Ruan Chenchen doing, sleeping? 】

[Plump Cat: Yes, I heard that the Gu family you came with last night is still sleeping in the Gu family? 】

[Jianghuai: Ruan Chenchen was sick last night, and he ran to N city in the middle of the night without sleep, imitating school bullies and fighting with others, he is in his twenties, and he still has the air of Long Aotian, as if he has returned to a rebellious high school period. 】

Jiang Huai revealed this on purpose, he was so anxious to see Ruan You calling out to his brother. Now that Gu Fuchen has done something for the Bodhisattva sister, he naturally wants to help put Ruan Chenchen's "achievements" in front of Ruan You, so that Ruan You can give Ruan Chenchen a promotion and a raise, and reach the pinnacle of life.

It is not JAC's style to do good deeds secretly.

With that said, Jiang Huai sent several press releases to Ruan You.

[Jiang Huai: Look at it. 】

[Jianghuai: Sharing "Shengshi Group's third round of financing failed", "Shengshi Group's stock price plummeted, hostile brand received 500 million private investment from Bo Zhan's successor Gu Fuchen", "Industry analysis Shengshi Group's webpage won awards this month and is facing a tragic acquisition", " Shengbei High School Bullying Classmates",]

The fate of the Sheng family was even worse than Ruan You thought.

Not only Sheng Bei, but also the insane photos of Sheng Shu high school bullying classmates and asking them to carry bags for their sisters were also posted.

The Sheng family is a big company of the N family, and no one in the local area dares to offend them. Now the competing product has received investment from Bo Zhan's heir, and his own financing has failed. The two children in the family have been found to have problems. If there is no problem, there will be a spectacular scene of rats crossing the street and everyone yelling and beating them.

[Jiang Huai: I don't know who the Sheng family offended, it ended so badly, alas, don't offend Ruan Chenchen in the future, we have all seen the end of offending him. Those who are protected by him are really happy, they are so happy! 】

Ruan You was silent.

[Fat Cat: If you don’t know how to act, then stop acting. 】

Jiang Huai probably knew it was for her, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her so many press releases about the Sheng family out of nowhere in the first place.

[Jianghuai: Is it that bad? 】

[Plump Cat: You almost sent the sentence "I know the truth but I still have to pretend". 】

Jianghuai changed the topic in real time: [I heard that uncle and aunt are coming back today? Will you go with Gu Fu Chen to Mr. Qi's birthday banquet tomorrow? 】

[Fat Cat: And my mother. 】

[Jiang Huai: OK, when the time comes, report to your investors about the progress of making money in the near future]

Ruan You: ...

Why is this person inseparable from money?

Ruan You threw his money into the "destroy the entertainment company every day". Including her own money, the company has a total of 700 million yuan to spend. Recently, she has been very busy and hasn't paid much attention to the entertainment industry. She found it troublesome to report on work once a day, so she changed it to report once every half a month.

Jiang Huai's words reminded her.

We cannot pay out all 700 million.

Let's bring it up next time when Cheng Xin reports to her.

Ruan You put down her phone and prepared to go out to pick up her parents.

In early December, it was very cold.

She was wearing a custom-made coat from the C family, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she was youthful and energetic.

Downstairs in the garage, the pure gold supercar has been cleaned up. The driver drove the car to the entrance of the mansion. It was so shiny and yellow that it couldn't be ignored.

When Gu Fuchen came downstairs, he saw this cool golden color, which made his eyes hurt, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter.

Dad sneaked back?

The old butler said at the right time: "Miss wants to drive this car to pick up Mr. Gu and Mrs. Ruan today. In addition, we will arrange a supercar and two commercial vehicles to accompany him."

Gu Youqian quickly put away his bitter face, and folded his hands on the back of the chair to take a rest, with an appearance of "seeing through the world and focusing on health preservation".

The doctor said it will get better soon.

Ruan Liuyu was helpless.

"Tomorrow is Elder Qi's birthday, I'll take Yoyo and Chen Chen there, you should rest at home."

Gu Youqian had no choice but to nod in agreement.

When he is in good health, it is more important to hold a dinner party for Yoyo.

Elder Qi's birthday was held at Qi's family home.

As the person in charge of the Qi family, Qi Zhiyan stood expressionlessly on the balcony of the living room on the second floor, and many luxury cars were parked outside the Iron Art Gate.

Qi Nuo, the youngest son of the Qi family, took a small snack and secretly looked at Qi Zhiyan from afar.

Their sibling relationship has always been bad.

My sister seldom goes home, and when she goes home, it is also to give gifts.

But every time they get a gift, the whole family is very happy.

Qi Zhiyan took a sip of his wine, and when he caught sight of Ruan You who got out of the car from the corner of his eye, he paused and asked the butler beside him:

"Is Ruan You here too?"

Qi Zhiyan thought that the first time Miss Gu's appearance at the dinner party would be at the dinner party held by the Gu family for herself.

The housekeeper smiled politely, "Yes, Mr. Gu Fuchen and Mrs. Ruan are also present to show respect to your grandfather."

Qi Zhiyan smiled faintly, but didn't speak. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qi Nuo who was stealing food behind the curtain, her brows and eyes were tightly locked.

Trash brother, he was so scared after having a snack at home, he didn't have the guts and temperament that a family should have.

"Find him a seat to sit down and eat." Qi Zhiyan left this sentence and left the balcony on the second floor.

When going downstairs, Qi Zhiyan saw many people.

There are also some rich people who can't be counted as top tycoons, but are at the top of the ranking list.

In general, half of the wealthy families in Marysu City are gathered here.

When Ruan You carried the small gift box and entered the arena behind Gu Fuchen and Ruan Liuyu, the conversation in the banquet hall on the second floor was obviously quieter by two degrees, and the audience focused on the three of them.

His eyes were burning, with scrutiny and deep thought in his eyes, and the way he looked at Ruan You was very different.

Ruan You squeezed the tie in the palm of her hand, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Ruan Liuyu wanted to chat with the wives and asked her to follow Gu Fuchen around.

Ruan You nodded heavily, and followed Gu Fu Chen step by step. Gu Fuchen was happy to feed his sister, and took a small plate to taste the cakes. After taking a bite, he thought it was not bad, and gave another piece to his sister.

Under the scorching eyes of all the ladies and wealthy children, the two tasted all the edible food in the banquet hall, and the gazes of all the ladies and sons were even more scorching.

Gu Fuchen had something to do at work and had to leave temporarily to take a phone call. At this moment, she was the only one left at the small table.

Ruan You felt everyone's burning eyes.

She couldn't help but think of the poor little girl who was lost in the face-slapping novel. After returning to the wealthy family, not only did she not get the slightest compliment, but she was also blamed and criticized everywhere because her manners and etiquette did not meet the standards of a "noble young lady".

She was fine with her brother's friends before, and they upheld the principle of "love the house and the crow". They would not use that standard to judge her. Now they are all strangers from wealthy families. According to the theory of novels, people who read jokes There must be many people.

Ruan You is fearless.

Let the storm come harder!

The three ladies glanced at the pastry in her hand and approached slowly.

Ruan You instantly understood that the **** plot of "taunting Cinderella for eating seriously at the dinner party" in the novel was coming. Whose family held a dinner party to eat cakes seriously.

The celebrities stood still in front of her, Ruan You just wanted to interrupt their questioning, a young lady excitedly held her hand.

"cat-"

Ruan You:?

"Fat cat!"

Ruan You:? ?

"How do you spend more money and get more money?"

"You are so amazing, let Ruan Chenchen's name become famous all over the world, when I saw Gu Fuchen today, I completely ruined his filter."

"President Ba has become a gentle male mother."

Everyone present tonight had seen Gu Fuchen, and after seeing the photos of Ruan Chenchen and Ruan You on the Internet, everyone was shocked.

Is this the low-key and steady Gu Fuchen they know?

impossible!

But all this happened miraculously.

Curiosity towards Ruan You, a strange woman, has increased a hundredfold, and combined with things on the Internet, it is not difficult to deduce that Ruan You is a fat cat.

Plump Cat has been repeatedly mentioned in wealthy circles in the past month. When spending money extravagantly, parents will say, "Look at Plump Cat, the more money you spend, the more money you spend. Why don't you have this ability?"

Chubby Cat, a benchmark figure in the money-spending world of the wealthy circle.

There is a reason for every penny she spends.

The e-sports team allowed her to gain favorability in the e-sports circle, and established a "arrogant and reckless not bad money" character as a young lady; buying hundreds of millions of planes, she gained a lot of favorability in front of Jianghuai, and there were rumors that Jianghuai took the initiative to find her. She cooperates; crazy publicity is even worse.

On the surface, it was spending money like crazy, but in fact it was saving internal entertainment, and sent a live campus variety show with a score of 9.5 to the whole network.

Ruan You invested in this variety show, which is said to have made a profit of over 100 million yuan. The money from the publicity has been earned back, and it has also accumulated a wave of word-of-mouth for Chubby Cat. Not to mention that it is said that she also has a mysterious genius investment consultant. It is not easy, really not easy, to get the genius consultant to serve her faithfully.

It can be seen that Chubby Cat is very attractive.

But everyone also understood why Gu Fu Chen was so kind to his sister.

Who doesn't love such a lucky cat that spends money on the surface but actually makes money!

"Then what will you give Elder Qi later, another gift that will amaze everyone?"

"Prepare a small pure diamond sculpture for Mr. Qi?"

Chubby Cat's arrogant lady was set up, and when everyone thought of gifts, they subconsciously walked towards the rich. Ruan You thought of her small gift of 1,000 yuan, and smiled embarrassingly.

"It's not that exaggerated, little gift."

The three ladies still wanted to talk, but were interrupted by Lu Jin and Lu Xuan who had just arrived.

"Yo yo sister."

Behind them was Yu Chi who had just entered.

It's not that Ruan You wants to pay attention, but that the other party suddenly exudes the charm of the protagonist, as if an incandescent lamp hits her, the whole body emits a faint white light, her back is straight, and the focus of the audience falls on her in an instant.

This was the first time Ruan You saw Yu Chi face to face after the live broadcast.

After two seconds, the white light disappeared.

Lu Xuan curiously followed Ruan You's direction, "What are you looking at?"

"Halo."

Lu Xuan was at a loss, "What halo, watch halo, new investment direction? Can we be happy again?"

"No." Ruan You looked away, and gave Lu Xuan a pastry, "Why are you thinking about investing every day now?"

Lu Xuan smiled, "Happy."

During this period of time, the happiness of their preferred investment was gone forever. Ruan You was busy with her retirement community, so she paid less attention to the preferred investment. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was a little jealous.

hateful.

There is actually a profitable project that has taken Ruan You's attention!

She is very bored every day now, wishing to come to some more projects to pass the time, because of boredom, she even went to her brother Lu Jin to learn about the company.

Lu Jin saw the changes in her younger sister Lu Xuan, and told her parents about it, and she was even happier.

Finally, Lu Xuan's dream of raising a puppy was about to be wiped out.

Lu Xuan said seriously, "I'm happier than the last time I went to meet a male model. Now I wonder if I'm going to embark on a career path of cutting off love."

Ruan You carefully recalled the novel.

There is no mention of Lu Xuan in it.

Ruan You encouraged her: "If you like it, we will find time to study it carefully. You first determine the direction you like."

"Uh-huh!"

In the distance, Qi Zhiyan came over and greeted her as she passed by. Lu Xuan smiled, "I heard that you asked Sister Youyou to go abroad to take pictures of the baby. For the birthday, I took the trouble. Grandpa Qi will be very happy then."

Qi Zhiyan glanced at Ruan You inexplicably, and replied casually: "It's just a gift, where can I be happy."

Ruan You was about to speak when the old butler came over, smiled politely, and then stood beside Qi Zhiyan and said, "Miss, Mr. Qi has come down."

At the elevator entrance, Elder Qi walked out slowly holding his son's hand.

Qi Zhiyan didn't know when he left and went to Elder Qi's side. They are very close, but they are so strange that they feel far away.

Ruan You thought of herself.

She subconsciously looked at Ruan Liuyu. Ruan Liuyu was looking at her with a smile, from a very long distance, with a gentle smile, her eyes seemed to melt into the spring of March, full of spring, making people feel warm and harmonious. This is the beauty of family affection.

She and Qi Zhiyan seemed to be in a family predicament.

It's just that she has already walked out of the maze, but Qi Zhiyan hasn't.
