Flawless

Seeing Gu Ci looking over, the young man raised his eyebrows and said hello.

Gu Ci also obediently called out, "Cousin Jingzu."

Cai Jingzu smiled and said, "The ones who have been brushed with foreign ink are different. Every time I see Xiaoci, there will be new changes. Cousin is not as knowledgeable as you now, and I will ask you for advice when I have something to do in the future."

Gu Ci has always been incapable of answering such scenes, and his relationship with this cousin has been a little delicate since he was a child. No matter what Gu Ci says, Cai Jingzu can calmly overwhelm him.Grandma likes this grandson very much, which makes Gu Chen and his wife often have nothing to say.

At this moment, Gu Ci could only purse her mouth and remain silent.

The old lady was a little dissatisfied with his attitude.

"Why don't you answer my brother talking to you?"

He Suxin hurriedly said, "Mother, Xiaoci has just been on the plane for more than ten hours, and she is probably a little tired. You also know that there is still such a thing as jet lag. Let him rest and ask him again."

The old lady glanced at her lightly, and He Suxin immediately shut up obediently.

Seeing her mother being stared at, Gu Ci said softly, "There's nothing I can tell my cousin, my cousin knows more than me."

Cai Jingzu curled his lips and sneered that he wanted to say more, but Mrs. Gu knocked hard on the yellow rosewood walking stick in her hand!

"You know you don't know much? Huh?"

As he said that, a piece of something fell to the ground with a snap, and was thrown in front of Gu Ci.

It was Gu Ci's report card from last semester.

"Look at what are these things? Did I send you out to learn these things?!"

Gu Ci's heart tightened, and she couldn't help taking a step back in fear.

"say!"

Seeing his behavior, Mrs. Gu became angry.

Gu Ci didn't dare to raise her head, her hands were twisted into a ball by her side.

"I'm sorry, grandma."

The old lady Gu snorted coldly, "It's not me you are sorry for, but your parents who have high expectations for you, and your incompetent self! Look at you, who will be able to trust you with the family business in the future? What’s wrong, how do you want me to explain to your grandfather and ancestors when I arrive in Huangquan!!”

The sound of the cane hitting the ground was more uncomfortable than hitting Gu Ci's heart directly.

Seeing that the old lady was shaking with excitement, Cai Jingzu hurriedly stepped forward to support her and kept patting her on the back.

"Grandma, grandma, don't be angry. It's not been a day or two since Gu Ci didn't improve. It's not worthwhile for you to follow him and make yourself angry. You have to take good care of your body, and he still depends on your teaching."

"Teaching, what is it called teaching? With this kind of brain, you can't get it out after a few lifetimes of teaching!"

Gu Ci was stunned sadly, but was pushed hard by He Suxin.

"Mother, don't be as knowledgeable as Xiao Ci, he is not sensible." Turning around, he said to Gu Ci, "Quickly admit your mistake to grandma and say that you will improve in the future!"

Gu Ci lowered her head, thought for a while, and then took out another make-up exam result from her pocket.

"Grandma, I took the exam again... I know I was wrong."

He Suxin was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it to look at it, and when she saw the big "A" on it, she hurriedly handed it to Granny Gu and said.

"Look, mother, Xiaoci has worked hard to correct, and his subsequent make-up exam results are not bad."

Granny Gu glanced at it, and the anger on her face subsided a little, but she still smashed the report card and said coldly to Gu Ci.

"Go back to your room and think about it. What am I doing sending you out? If you keep fooling me with this kind of stuff every time, I'm really raising you for nothing!"

After Gu Ci was taken away by Uncle Gu, he added another sentence, "You are not allowed to feed him today, let him think it through."

He Suxin and Gu Chen looked at each other, and could only sigh helplessly, feeling distressed secretly.

While Cai Jingzu was comforting the old lady, there was a triumphant smile in his eyes.

Gu Ci was hungry until noon the next day, when He Suxin secretly brought him a bowl of green vegetable noodles to pad his belly.

Looking at her son who was wolfing down and hurting his hand, He Suxin said sourly, "You have to fight hard, grandma and the Gu family are counting on you, don't let mom and dad worry anymore."

In fact, Gu Ci is more afraid of her mother talking to herself in such a sad tone than being scolded by her grandma.This will make him feel extremely stressed, as if a whole boulder is hanging above his head, unable to breathe.

But what else could he have done other than nod.

He has been educated in this way since he was a child. If he said "to strive for success", "to win glory for the Gu family", and "The Gu family depends on him", it would pile up like a mountain.But those people still talked without getting bored, and he could only listen without getting bored.

After eating the noodles, He Suxin asked someone to bring a thick stack of books, all about management and marketing.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Mom told grandma to relax and read some books after getting tired today. If grandma finds out, she will feel that Xiaoci is still working hard."

"okay……"

However, within two hours of opening the first page, Gu Ci stared blankly at the leafless sycamore tree outside the window.

His room hasn't changed at all, but the nostalgia he felt when he first came home has been slowly worn away now.

No one knows how much he hates business management. Those boring rules and regulations, shrewd pursuits are too complicated and too gloomy for him. He likes creative, novel and colorful, dazzling things, just like jewelry , like porcelain, like design.

But no one ever cares about what he likes or wants, they only know what he should do and what he needs to do.

Even he himself has long subtly felt that these are his responsibilities, and he is duty bound.

It was only after the sky darkened again that Gu Ci noticed the flickering light source of the mobile phone.For fear of being discovered by his parents and grandma, Gu Ci turned his mobile phone to silent as soon as he got home.

It was a text message from Zuo Yiqiao.

(are you home yet?)

The time was an hour ago.

Gu Ci thought about it and sent a message.

(Well, here it is! O(∩_∩)O)

I thought Zuo Yiqiao must be busy, but I didn't expect to receive a reply soon.

(Looks very happy, let's have fun, happy new year!)

Gu Ci looked at the reference books on the table, smiled wryly and typed (:D)...
