13 - Summon the rich to dote on me

WARNING: This chapter contains violence.

“Can I declare bankruptcy on the spot and run away without providing after-sales service?” Pei Xian stood with a blank expression while he could not help but vent in his heart.

The answer was definitely no way. The pitch-black low-key bodyguard’s car at the back firmly blocked the entrance. He was very familiar with this kind of defensive situation. In those years when Grandpa forced him too hard, he made a vain attempt to escape from Si Family every day, but he didn’t succeed.

Madame Gu came so suddenly and Gu Han didn’t inform him anything about it. The old butler hurriedly ran out and said, “Why are you coming, madam?”

“Old Lin, don’t forget for what I put you at Young Master’s place.” Madame Gu’s voice was small but hardly allowed any doubt.

She who came was surely ill-intentioned by looking at this attitude like wanting to lock the door to stop the goblin/hussy that harmed her child. Pei Xian’s small brain spun at flying speed. As soon as Xiao Yuhang returned home, he lost the value as a substitute. It didn’t matter if he was kicked out by Madame Gu.

The butler and aunties in the villa had taken a good care of him these days. He’d better not implicated everyone’s rice bowls.

“Uncle Lin, I just forgot to say that I have an appointment with Madame Gu. I’m just about to go out.” Pei Xian stopped the old butler who wanted to talk.

The honest Uncle Lin was dumbfounded as he said, “Aren’t you going to feed the pigeons??”

“Um… I invited Madame Gu to feed the pigeons together.” Pei Xian resolutely and decisively talked nonsense. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a little while.”

Uncle Lin’s eyeballs almost fell off. “???”

Sitting the car, Madame Gu listened attentively but quietly, with a little arc at the corner her mouth.

The silver-ash Bentley slowly drove up the ring road and was constantly overtaken by worn-out Jinbei and Wuling, seemingly without destination goal and simply wandered around.

Pei Xian sat on the side of the window with his treasure bag in his arms. On the other side, Madame Gu, who sat with her legs folded in elegant posture, was enjoying the view outside the window; she didn’t seem to want to talk with him. There was a little tension in the air.

When Pei Xian thought that he would be directly dragged to other province to be thrown into the river as fish food, Madame Gu finally opened her mouth.

“Pei Xian, are you with my son to seek money or fame?” Jadeite beads glided between her fingers as she asked easily.

“To seek money!” Pei Xian answered loudly in the bottom of his heart but shook his senses as luck brought wisdom. Wait a minute….. Isn’t this a standard plot of “I give 5 million yuan for you stay away from my son” for a wealthy family?

There is such a good welfare before leaving? He almost shed emotional tears. The whole family of Gu Family, old and new, are living Buddha [1] , ah! I’d like to pay respect to your early years!

Pei Xian recalled all kinds of bitter little white flowers [2] on TV and squeezed a few crocodile tears out of pinching his thigh ferociously. “Madame Gu, for a petty and lowly me to have met such a perfect Mister Gu, there is nothing more I want. Please don’t break us up.”

“Oh…” The corner of Madame Gu’s eyebrows perked up unnaturally. “I won’t pay a dime to you then.”

Pei Xian: “……”

Hah-hah, failed!!

As he was seen through his little thoughts, Pei Xian gave in on the spot without drying his tears. “Madame Gu, I was wrong. I thought you would give me five millions yuan to get me scram off.”

Madame Gu finally knew why her foolish son looked for a little substitute and even confessed as though he was a precious pearl. He was so amusing, ah. The brain circuit of this child could be said to be a marvel. Was he molded from the mud left by Nuwa [3] repairing the pillar of Heaven?

“Five millions is too stingy to be worthy of our family’s Hanhan.” Madame Gu casually flicked the fine dust that did not exist on her body. “What do you think of thirty millions?”

Pei Xian: “???”

We are the same wealthy people, but I lived a very hard life in the past life while you see people often go to have fun.

Madame Gu glanced at him as if she were looking at a child in the kindergarten. “If you can hold onto Gu Han and keep Xiao Yuhang away from entering Bolin Road for a year, I will pay you thirty millions yuan.”

Pei Xian’s mood was chaotic and explained in deadly manner: “Madam, I am a fake.”

“A pipe dream is fine.” Madame Gu softly heaved a sigh and took out a card from her bag. She said, “As long as you dare, no matter you win or lose, I’ll thank you first with this ten millions.”

Pei Xian’s small hands were a little bit out of control to grab the bank card. Even if Gu Han immediately told him to scram off when he go home now, he had ten millions more out of thin air!

In the future, he would raise Gu Han who would be in a state of depression. In the original novel, it didn’t explain the ending of Madame Gu. As he rounded up, he definitely had to take the mother to raise, too. Pei Xian felt suffocated as he was aware of the heavy burden.

He was a poor man now, he couldn’t be willful. If he didn’t take the small money, he would receive retribution!

Madame Gu looked at Pei Xian, who was clever and agreeable accepting the card and she nodded with satisfaction. As if there was something to point out, she said: “My family’s Hanhan can spend money to buy happiness, but to spend money on something that turns out to be unsatisfactory or even disastrous…. He might be willing but I as the mother am not willing.”

Recalling all kinds of things that Gu Han did for Xiao Yuhang in the original book, Pei Xian thought that Madame Gu was too polite. That was not to spend money on something that turns out to be unsatisfactory or even disastrous, that was to burn money and being cheap to pursue unremittingly.

“I’m very embarrassed to have received so much money from Madame and Mister Gu.” Pei Xian bowed politely, expressed his thanks sincerely with a face that wrote——I am a goblin/hussy that can be solved by money.

Madame Gu looked at him coldly. To be honest, she didn’t hate Pei Xian very much. The child knew exactly what to ask and what not to ask, and didn’t have trickery. The most important thing was that he didn’t have an improper thought towards Gu Han. It could be assumed that they hadn’t even matched brain waves. So, it was totally safe.

Contrariwise, as soon as Xiao Yuhang came back, he made a move constantly in secret; taking Gu Han to hype the media and happy occasion around the corner? Think you are qualified?!

Unknowingly, the car drove to the basement of Seascape Shopping Plaza.

“Go up and play. Today, all your expenses in Seascape are put in my account, which is to compensate for the scare you got at my place.” Madame Gu added the word 'scare” with a heavy smile.

Pei Xian’s expressionless face flashed with embarrassment. He felt shame as he was completely seen through.

Here, they reached a united front. The two people prepared to fight Xiao Yuhang as mixed double. They shook hands in mutual benefit before they separated.

Over there, as soon as Gu Han knew that his mother had taken Pei Xian away, he almost peed himself in fright. He tracked the vehicle’s whole journey through retrieval monitoring. When the vehicle finally entered a basement, it successfully stopped on the elevated road less than a kilometer from Seascape.

Pei Xian didn’t go up. In the empty basement, he took out the bank card with a password of six “0” and ten millions deposit. A trace of uncontrollable happiness flashed in his heart. It was great that he had reason to stay with Mister Gu again.

His small brain appeared to be flooded [4] . No, no, no. A person who took advantage of others owed the others’ favor. I’m the vicious third party hired by Madame Gu to destroy others’ feelings! I need to stick to Gu Han like a dogskin plaster! Let him tear me off with his leg hair and grieved!

Pei Xian chewed his lips as he entertained all sorts of ideas. His heart felt happy as if he had eaten honey that he could see Mister Gu again. So happy that he wanted to twirl around!

“Pei Xian!” Suddenly there was a chilling voice came from behind him.

Pei Xian abruptly turned around and immediately saw Zhou Kai with a fierce and murderous look striding forward.

What a bad luck, one can’t avoid one’s enemy (much as one wants to)!

This period of peaceful and waveless life made his reflex arc degenerate on top of his not very strong body. He had not run two steps but Zhou Kai grabbed his collar and lifted him like a kitten.

“Still want to run?” Zhou Kai pressed him onto a wall and looked up at the monitor. He covered Pei Xian’s mouth and nose to prevent him from calling for help and firmly dragged him into a blind spot of the side passage.

Pei Xian had never met this kind of violence in his two lives. Besides doing his best to resist, his brain went blank.

“Pei Xian, I told you not to fall into my hands, but unfortunately, you delivered yourself to my door!” Zhou Kai stared at him with bloodshot eyes like that of a demon’s.

Recently, he had been in all kind of unfavorable and repeatedly called into question in the board of director meeting. Today, he specially entertained several important uncles in the clan, but he didn’t expect that they were all mature old turtles [5] . At the critical moment, they refused to say a word more for him.

The full of rage Zhou Kai who had not yet vented his frustration then suddenly saw Pei Xian jumping like a small magpie in front of him. When he recalled of being put in green hat at public, he wanted to go forward and break his neck directly.

In the book, cannon fodder and passer-by A had no human rights at all. They died in all kind of ways. Pei Xian, who was against the wall with his hands twisted at the back, felt a chill in his heart.

“Did Gu Han ** you good?” Zhou Kai was satisfied with the way he closed his eyes and couldn’t resist as he asked indecently against his cold cheek.

Pei Xian clenched his teeth and shut his eyes. Now, no matter whether he begged for forgiveness or cursed loudly, the other man would only be more excited. This man was a real mad dog. It was not worth showing off heroism caused by a bite . Besides, he couldn’t even be a bear now.

“Why didn’t you jump that day? Isn’t it good to die? I won’t make you feel better alive.” Zhou Kai narrowed his eyes as they slid down Pei Xian’s white neck. “It’s a pity that this smooth-skinned body was fed to that old dog Gu Han.”

His hand suddenly lifted Pei Xian’s thin jacket and went in from the waist.

“Zhou Kai! Don’t you regret it!” Pei Xian was pressed tightly against the wall, unable to move and could only squeezed out threats from between his teeth.

“Hahaha!” Zhou Kai laughed wildly. “The dead duck [6] is stubborn to admit defeat. What’s the matter? Do you expect Gu Han to come down from the heaven to save you?”

Before his voice died down, there was a loud “bang”. A car fire extinguisher came flying from nowhere hit him on the head.

Immediately after, Pei Xian’s s vision blurred before he was pulled into a solid and warm embrace.

Gu Han, who came down from the heaven following Zhou Kai’s words, had a shadow on his handsome face. He didn’t utter a single word in the whole process, only held Pei Xian’s hand tightly and left Zhou Kai behind.

When Zhou Kai was hit and fell flat the ground, he could be said to have a sturdy iron head as his head didn’t break and he stood up quickly.

Gu Han protected Pei Xian like an old hen. He, who usually laughed merrily and easily spoiled, had been taken as a simple-minded husky. But never forget that husky would also bite his owner!

With new hatred and old grudges in his infuriating bloodshot eyes as he faced the duo, Zhou Kai flew over to beat Gu Han without saying a word.

Boss Gu was not afraid to push the little quail out of the storm circle. He flicked his tongue before he went ahead!

Immediately after, Pei Xian witnessed a chaotic scene of wild dogs tearing each other, completely lacked rules.

Gu Han and Zhou Kai were both young masters. They didn’t have the chance to fight with people from small until big and they went in and out of the gym merely for fitness. Today, they came into unavoidable confrontation and couldn’t even pose as they directly put out all their strength to press each other to death with the most primitive posture.

This fight that showed one’s true color made Pei Xian incomparably anxious, for fear that Gu Han, who could not fight at all, would get the worst out of it.

Hence, he stealthily came nearer and raised his foot before he kicked his opponent’s kidney while Zhou Kai was pressing Gu Han onto the ground and strangling his neck, which made Zhou Kai repeatedly turn around and scream. Meanwhile, Gu Han seized the gap and beat Zhou Kai wildly on his face.

Soon the duo found a subtle coordination balance; Gu Han beat his face and Pei Xian kicked his kidney. They played the rhythm of disco dancing; move, beat and knockout [7] .

Zhou Kai protected his head regardless of his kidney and very quickly fell into a disadvantage position. Gu Han kicked to turn him over and rode on his body before he boxed both of Zhou Kai’s ears until he howled.

“Zhou Kai, hear this; if you let me see your face again, I’ll beat the shit out of you once more!” At the last point of madness, reason grabbed Gu Han. He panted for breath while lifting up the other man’s collar to warn him.

Zhou Kai, who was beaten into a pig’s head, rolled and groaned on the ground, cutting an extremely sorry figure.

“Go!” He didn’t tidy up his disheveled appearance as he turned back and held Pei Xian’s hand tightly, then towed him away without looking back.

“Mister Gu, you are injured.” Pei Xian grasped firmly onto the vigorously striding and furious man, took out a wet tissue and put it over his neck. The place where Zhou Kai had clutched and scratched appeared two green and red-turning-purple welts.

Gu Han shook him off with face red from anger as he gasped heavily. He was so angry! He’d never been so scared since he was a kid till now, damned it! Almost scared him to death!

“Where did he touch you?” Gu Han asked with malicious-looking, regretting not cutting Zhou Kai’s dirty hand!

Pei Xian was stunned when he was asked that. In fact, Zhou Kai didn’t have time to do anything to him. When Zhou Kai pushed aside his jacket, his hand barely put it on his waist before he was smashed by Gu Han’s fire extinguisher.

But the manic boss seemed to be in urgent need of comfort. Thus, he lifted his clothes to show his small white waist, then grabbed Gu Han’s hand and put it on his waist. He said with a straight face, “Here, touch it.”

The three zhang [8] high flame on top of Gu Han’s skull died out with a “hu”. He was a little embarrassed as he helped pull his clothes down, “Aren’t you ashamed, there is a surveillance camera.”

Pei Xian grasped him firmly. “Let’s go home, Mister Gu.”

“Okay.” Gu Han gently caressed the soft hair on his top.

“Ding!”

The “caring and concern for villain’s IQ system” rewarded:

[ Host, you completed the non-energy task reward “male protagonist unlucky package” of 'scatter a field in your arms”——“male protagonist is beaten violently by elders” had been issued on time, please check! ]

“…..” Gu Han was completely speechless. He was indeed Zhou Kai’s uncle by seniority, but! What f*cking prize does the winner have to make by himself?? Can I still amuse myself happily? I want to accuse you of fraud! Fraud!
