Chapter 917: Entering Gu Mang’s Room

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It seemed that Gu Si really intended to kill Lu Chengzhou based on how dark his eyes were.

Gu Si raised his eyebrows wickedly when he saw the hesitation in Bai Sui. “Too scared to go?”

“…That’s not it.” Bai Sui paused and then slowly asked, “Wasn’t it just a few days ago when you told me that… Lu Chengzhou is your brother-in-law?”

Bai Sui felt somewhat perplexed by this unexpected turn of events given how proudly Gu Si had been talking about his brother-in-law, Lu Chengzhou, and his protective streak for the past few days.

Gu Si snorted. “Well, I was blind. He’s no longer my brother-in-law as of this moment!”

“…How did he infuriate you, Young Master?” asked Bai Sui hesitantly while carefully reading Gu Si’s expression. His fingers twitched once more. Although he could not figure out what could possibly make the kid so furious, he was certain that it was not because of a game as Yu Mufeng had said.

.

“You don’t have to care about that.” Gu Si revealed nothing. “Just tell me if you’re going with me.”

“No!” shouted Yu Mufeng before Bai Sui even got the chance to say a single word.

Gu Si thus shook Bai Sui’s hand off him and turned around to head toward the exit.

Yu Mufeng made a grab at Gu Si and forcefully restrained him. “Listen to me, Little Si. Calm down. Just calm down a little!”

“Let me go!” Gu Si struggled. I’m not playing with you guys anymore! I have to go settle this matter right away!

Yu Mufeng was not as skilled and strong as Bai Sui, so he had a hard time holding Gu Si back.

Bai Sui frowned and pursed his lips. “What exactly happened?”

“You want to go to Red Flame?” A female voice came down the stairs just then.

Gu Si instantly fell silent as he and the others turned and looked up to see Gu Mang standing on the second floor with her hands on the railing. Her head was slightly tilted as she looked down and said nonchalantly, “I’ll contact He Yidu and get him to take you in as a student. You can forget about coming back then.”

She then whipped out her phone to make a call to He Yidu.

Gu Si panicked. He pushed Yu Mufeng away and walked toward Gu Mang. “No, don’t call him! You heard wrong, sis! I wasn’t going to Red Flame! I-I just wanted to go out and buy you supper! Yes, that’s right! I was going to buy supper for you!”

She obviously wants to send me away! Why is she always trying to send me away?!

Gu Mang paused and looked up. “You’re hungry?”

Gu Si nodded pitifully. “I-I’m craving hotpot… It’s been a while since I had hotpot…”

“Sure, I’ll take you out for a good meal.” Amusement shone in Gu Mang’s eyes.

“T-take me out for a good meal?” Gu Si stuttered as he shrank his neck backward and waved his hands. “Never mind, I’m not eating anymore. It’s too late now. It’s time for bed.”

Settling scores with Lu Chengzhou isn’t worth being sent away.

Bai Sui and Yu Mufeng were equally speechless by how fast Gu Si changed his attitude.

Gu Mang walked down the stairs with her phone in hand while giving Gu Si a reassuring look. “Relax, we’ll just be eating supper. I won’t send you away.”

“Really?” Gu Si shivered. “You’re not lying to me, right?”

“Yes.” Gu Mang stopped in front of Gu Si and said lazily, “Let’s go.”

The way Gu Si hesitated showed how traumatized he was from past experiences.

Bai Sui studied the pair of siblings thoughtfully but could not see anything unusual about them. “Are you going out for hotpot? I’ll help you book a table now.”

While pressing on Gu Si’s head, Gu Mang glanced at Bai Sui and said, “Stay at the villa with Bai Qingqing.”

“Young Lady, Old Master Bai—”

“I dare you to threaten me with my grandfather again.” Gu Mang cut him off impatiently.

Bai Sui lowered his head respectfully. “I understand.”

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Gu Mang’s assessment these days, so things were relatively calm on Jijing Island. Thus, Gu Mang had only brought Jiangsui and Yu Mufeng with them.

Gu Si did not seem to be in high spirits as he left the villa with his head and shoulders drooped.

Bai Sui watched them get into a jeep and drive away from the villa. He stood watching from a window for a long time before eventually turning around and returning to the living room where he placed a hand on the back of the sofa and drummed his fingers against it.

A few seconds later, he looked up in the direction of Gu Mang’s room and hesitated a little before walking over to the stairs to head upstairs.

Once on the second floor he stood outside her room, twisted the doorknob, and pushed the door open.
