Chapter 239 Family and Country in Dire Straits (9)
From the moment he saw the boy, Xu Qing was silently observing the person in front of him.
With a scrutinizing eye.
After all, this is a child who will be living with their best friend for a long time to come.
Naturally, we need to see things more clearly.
0529 shrank back under Xu Qing's gaze, her hand gripping Gu Yao's long robe tightened, and she dared not look at Xu Qing again with her timid eyes.
Realizing she had frightened the child, Xu Qing sighed and asked in a soft voice, "Little brother, do you remember who your parents are?"
Upon hearing this, 0529 flinched again, and her fair fingers couldn't help but hook onto Gu Yao's fingertips.
Gu Yao sensed his tension and turned to glare at the big bad wolf in front of him.
"Xu Qing, don't scare my brother."
Xu Qing, concerned for Gu Yao's safety: "..."
They're even calling him "little brother" now?!
Is it that fast?
After scolding Xu Qing with a stern face, Gu Yao turned around and put on a gentle expression. He gently ruffled the boy's hair and softly comforted him, "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid. He's not a bad person. Even if he were, your brother would drive him away."
Xu, the bad guy: My mother tongue is speechless.
Watching Gu Yao's extreme change of expression, Xu Qing sensed the malice of this world.
With such a protective attitude, it seems that A-Yao is determined to raise this child.
Xu Qing might give in to Gu Yao on other matters, but on matters of safety, he would absolutely not agree easily.
Even before Gu Yao saved him, he had vowed in his heart that if he ever had the ability, he would protect Gu Yao.
Therefore, he wanted to eliminate all dangerous factors.
The world is so chaotic now, and A-Yao isn't with him, so he can't always send someone to look after him.
Then we can only nip all dangers in the bud.
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.
His face darkened, and he stepped into the house.
"Ah Yao, come in with me for a moment."
Gu Yao watched Xu Qing's retreating figure, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
0529 looked up in confusion, "Host..."
Gu Yao patted the boy's head. "Xiao Jiu should call me brother, understand?"
The boy pursed his lips and then nodded obediently.
"understood."
Gu Yao smiled. "Your identity can be resolved today. Go back to your room now."
0529 nodded and turned to walk towards his room.
Gu Yao looked at Xu Qing, who was already sitting in the chair, lowered his eyes slightly, then looked up with his usual gentle smile.
Xu Qing sat at the table, dissatisfied with Gu Yao's actions.
In his view, someone of unknown origin was far too risky.
He got angry when he saw his friend gently coaxing him.
The child kept turning back to look at the camera.
That's way too clingy.
She's so old, why does she still need Ah Yao to take care of her?
Apart from his face, he's really good for nothing.
Xu Qing now finds everything about that kid displeasing.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea to cool down, and a cool sensation slid from his throat into his esophagus.
Xu Qing put down his teacup with a gloomy expression.
He was a guest, yet he couldn't even get a cup of hot tea.
Only Gu Yao would dare to treat him like this.
Gu Yao slowly walked to the table.
Seeing Xu Qing's displeased expression, he smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
"What's wrong? Who upset you this time?"
Xu Qing was about to complain about the ice-cold tea when he saw the young man opposite him drinking it with great relish, and he subconsciously swallowed his complaints.
"fine."
He was afraid that if he complained, the person in front of him would call him pretentious.
Seeing that the person didn't speak, Gu Yao looked up and saw that the person glanced at the teacup on the table with an extremely resentful look in their eyes.
Gu Yao smiled and put down his cup. "Would you like me to make you a cup of hot tea?"
Xu Qing shook his head.
Looking at the calm and composed person in front of me, I felt a sudden heart attack.
It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.
Who is he getting so anxious and upset about?
Gu Yao smiled when he saw that the person looked like he was suffocating with anger.
Unconsciously, he began to rub the seven-jeweled Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.
“Xu Qing, I know you’re worried about me, but don’t forget, back in school, it was always me who protected you.”
The young man paused, looked directly at Xu Qing, his gaze unwavering, and said, "I could protect you at school before, and I can protect myself now."
Don't forget, I've been through thick and thin since I was a kid. If I weren't a little shrewd, I would have been swindled out of everything long ago.
Hearing Gu Yao's calm tone, Xu Qing choked up.
Yes, Gu Yao was never an innocent little rabbit.
What kind of ordinary person could manage to keep those spoiled brats in school so well-behaved?
He just wasn't willing to let go easily.
He always thought that now that he had the ability, he could protect Gu Yao properly.
Xu Qing sighed and reluctantly compromised, "Then A Yao should be more careful and not be harmed by the people close to him."
Gu Yao's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he nodded in agreement.
Xu Qing glanced at her wristwatch and knew it was almost time. She got up and headed out of the courtyard.
Just before getting into the car, he placed one hand on the handlebars and turned to look at Gu Yao standing at the gate of the courtyard, saying, "I've taken care of this for you. Also, my promise still stands."
After saying that, he didn't give Gu Yao any time to react and directly opened the door and got into the car.
Gu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile.
How could Xu Qing still remember this?
Has the Xu family's bank still not found a suitable financial advisor by now?
There must be quite a few talented people willing to work at the Xu family's bank.
He knew this was a privilege granted to him by Xu Qing.
If he hadn't received the mission from the organization first, he would have been very willing to work at the Xu family's bank, just loafing around and waiting to die.
You won't be fired even if you don't work hard, and you'll still get a high salary.
Who wouldn't be tempted by this?
If you have bad teeth, you should eat soft food.
But he ultimately couldn't enjoy this life of being a kept man.
The handsome young man stood in front of the somewhat dilapidated courtyard gate, gently turning his prayer beads, watching the car leave the street until it disappeared from sight.
He withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to calm his mind, stretched, and yawned.
I need to get some rest before I have to teach Yan Yu this afternoon.
Rebellious kids are hard to manage.
--small theater--
Yan Yu, who had become much more obedient: "..." You're the rebellious one, your whole family is rebellious!
Gu Yao, who will be included in Yan Yu's entire family in the future: "..."
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
