Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 118. Flipping the Table

Liu Yun walked over, opened the door, and froze on the spot.

Gu Kaiyuan was holding a bowl and staring intently inside. Behind him, besides Bai Suihe, there were some other people who were tiptoeing to look inside.

“Third brother,” Liu Yun’s face twisted slightly, but she quickly forced a smile, “you’ve come.”

Gu Kaiyuan ignored him completely, instead looking sadly into the room. "Father, this is the whole family having dinner."

Bai Suihe dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. "Husband, since Father has already eaten, perhaps we shouldn't have the wontons..."

Gu Baijiang and the others stood up in surprise. They were surprised by the large number of people following them, all of whom were looking at them with disdain.

"Open Source, I couldn't find you before, so I didn't wait for you to eat..."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at all this with sadness in his eyes, now that someone had stood up for him.

"How big can this post station be? How could we not find anyone?"

I think it was all intentional, since Third Master Gu isn't well-liked at home..."

"The Gu family's reputation was so good before, it seems it was all just hearsay."

"To divide a family into different classes is utterly despicable."

"What do you know? When it comes to doing things, you need Gu Kaiyuan to be at your beck and call. When there are benefits, both of your brothers get them."

"This place is so small, you could find someone immediately if you shouted. To say you can't find anyone now is just hypocrisy."

"..."

The Gu family members looked very embarrassed. They resented these people for meddling in their affairs, but they were even more angry at Gu Kaiyuan for making a scene.

Bai Suihe could tell from their expressions that they were blaming the two of them for all the mistakes.

With red eyes, she turned around and said to everyone with a wronged expression, "I'm so sorry, it's all my and my husband's fault. Of course, Father won't abandon us. It's all a misunderstanding."

You've all had a long journey, so please go back and rest. We can't let our trivial matters keep you all waiting."

Since Bai Suihe had said so, the crowd could no longer stand there and watch the show, so they quietly retreated. However, their conversation before leaving reached the ears of the Gu family.

"This couple is just too kind-hearted. They're being bullied like this, and they're still covering for each other..."

"No wonder, two of the three sons are in school, and the third one is like an adopted child..."

"With Gu Lao Er's appearance, everyone in the capital knows him. Everyone's betting on him in private. Someone like him will never pass the imperial examination, yet he's always spouting classical phrases, not knowing he has even a tael of ink in his belly..."

"That eldest brother, Gu, is even worse. He's his own brother, and instead of helping him, he leads the way in ostracizing him. No wonder he's stuck in the Hanlin Academy; it turns out all his superiors know he has moral problems..."

Hearing that everyone was biased towards Gu Kaiyuan, the Gu family felt a sense of resentment.

"You unfilial son," Gu Baijiang gritted his teeth, though he didn't name names, his eyes were fixed on Gu Kaiyuan with a sinister look.

"Open source, let's talk things out calmly, why make such a fuss?" Gu Kaiping frowned and rebuked. He was still hoping to have a chance to return to the Hanlin Academy in the future, but the third brother was trying to kill him by ruining his reputation like this.

Gu Kaiyuan looked bewildered. "Brother, what are you talking about? What did I do wrong? I just brought a bowl of wontons to show my respect to Dad."

I had no idea you were having a feast here, brothers. If you had just let me know, I wouldn't have bothered coming here.

After saying that, she looked at the room and the dining table with a wronged expression.

Bai Suihe covered her face with a handkerchief, afraid that she would burst out laughing. Gu Kaiyuan knew how to be two-faced.

Some of these villains came to life, and she began to like them.

"You're here, so why did you bring those people up with you?" Gu Kaichen pointed outside angrily. They abandoned their brothers and ate alone here. Does that sound good to outsiders?
They all understand the principles, but they can't let others criticize them for doing them. Gu Kaiyuan is simply clueless.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Second brother wronged me. I just bought wontons to give to Father. But I couldn't find you. I was so anxious that I asked around. It was the kind shopkeeper downstairs who told us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

The Gu brothers and Gu Baijiang nearly coughed up blood. "You're still asking others down there?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "If I can't find anyone, of course I have to ask around. Otherwise, how would I have found you?"

Bai Suihe couldn't hold back any longer, so she quickly lowered her head and silently grinned.

“Fool, you’re hopelessly stupid,” Gu Kaichen said, not forgetting to use his erudition, “You’re airing your dirty laundry in public.”

"Is this a family scandal?" Seeing that there were no outsiders present and he was no longer willing to put on an act, Gu Kaiyuan sneered, "So, Second Brother also knew that what he did was wrong and would be a family scandal, but why did he still do it?"

“It’s not that we just forgot about you for a moment,” Gu Kaichen felt he was right. “Everyone was tired from the journey, so it’s understandable that we forgot for a moment. Why do you have to keep bringing it up?”

Bai Suihe said, "Second brother, you've misunderstood your husband. He was really worried down there when he couldn't find everyone."

After all, there had been two previous attacks by men in black, and nobody knew if they would target our family again, which is why we lost our composure for a moment.”

Bai Suihe took the bowl from Gu Kaiyuan's hand, went in, and placed the bowl in front of Gu Baijiang. "Father, this is a token of my husband's affection. You may not be able to eat it or appreciate it, but as a son, a daughter-in-law should always do her part to show filial piety. We have made things difficult for you today."

Bai Suihe looked at the mess of leftovers on the table again, "I believe Father will look down on our meager offerings in the future, so my husband and I will no longer embarrass ourselves by eating them."

Without waiting for their response, Bai Suihe stepped back outside and took Gu Kaiyuan's arm, saying, "Let's go, don't delay Father from reuniting with the family."

Gu Kaiyuan nodded. "You're right. We're superfluous here."

After the two left, the Gu family members were still seething with anger. Gu Baijiang looked at the half-bowl of wontons in front of him and felt extremely ironic. He couldn't help but raise his hands and flip the table over.

Hearing the commotion behind them, Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe exchanged a smile, feeling relieved that they had finally gotten their revenge.

Although the methods used were not honorable, success was the goal.

"I believe we'll have a few quiet days ahead," the two said as they returned to their room. Dongmei and the others were busy unpacking their luggage and didn't disturb them before turning to leave.

“Brother Gu, don’t be too sad,” Ma Zhi said as he finished eating and changed shifts, and happened to run into them. “If you have any difficulties, just let us know, and we will help if we can.”

Gu Kaiyuan is generous, but he is also very shrewd. It's best to show him kindness if you can befriend him.
