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

Chapter 185 Chapter 185. Take action
Gu Kaichen stared at Bai Suihe with hostility, feeling that the third brother had been corrupted by this woman.

Gu Kaiyuan used to be so obedient and filial, but now? His heart and eyes are completely occupied by this woman.

Dad shouldn't have let this woman into the family in the first place; look what she's done to their home.

If Gu Kaiyuan had stayed with them, perhaps their mother wouldn't have been injured and died, and their lives wouldn't have been so difficult.

"Are you really going to be so stubborn? Even if you don't care about the third son, you should at least think about the baby in your belly. Do you want him to be born with a terrible reputation?"

Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe's faces turned cold at the same time. It was one thing for him to cause trouble for them, since they were waiting for an opportunity to break away from the Gu family sooner or later. But he shouldn't have used Bao Bao as a scapegoat.

"Gu Kaichen," Gu Kaiyuan stood in front of him, his face unfriendly, and shouted at him by his full name, "You're courting death."

"What did you just call me?" Gu Kaichen's expression changed, feeling that his authority had been challenged. "Don't forget, I'm your second brother."

"Do you act like a proper older brother? What are you trying to do? Come here to threaten and intimidate me?"

“I’m doing this for your own good,” Gu Kaichen said, looking at his younger brother who was a head taller than him. He was a little timid at the moment, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, he mustered up his courage and said, “Third brother, do you dare to put your hand on your conscience and say that none of these things were prepared by the Bai family?”

"So what?" Gu Kaiyuan sneered. "If you're so capable, why don't you ask your in-laws to prepare for you? Oh, I forgot, they're just a bunch of leeches. They only take and never give."

"Don't forget, that's your maternal family." Even with all his resentment towards the Xu family, Gu Kaichen couldn't back down now. "How can you say such a thing to your mother?"

“Don’t bring up our mother,” Gu Kaiyuan sneered. “Whether she was alive or dead, I have fulfilled the filial duties of a son, and I have done just as much as you two older brothers.”

"I owe my second brother, but don't overreach. What isn't yours, don't even think about."

"Don't forget, we haven't split up yet."

Gu Kaiyuan chuckled twice. "Dividing the family? My dear second brother, what do you think our family still has?"
Oh, you mean Father…

Gu Kaichen was so frightened that he tried to cover Gu Kaiyuan's mouth, but Gu Kaiyuan dodged him by turning to the side. "If you don't want me to spell things out, Second Brother had better remember your place and not meddle in things that aren't your business."

I thought the three of us brothers had already reached a consensus, but it seems I was just being presumptuous.

Since my second brother has made such a kind invitation, I will definitely visit Father every day to inquire about his well-being..."

"Third brother, are you really going to be so heartless? Is it really necessary for a woman?"

Bai Suihe raised an eyebrow at Gu Kaichen, who was sowing discord in front of the couple. Should she say he was brainless or should she praise his courage?

Gu Kaiyuan smiled coldly and punched Gu Kaichen directly in the stomach.

"Ah..." Gu Kaichen felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and staggered back a few steps before falling to the ground.

Seeing Gu Kaichen hunched over, Gu Kaiyuan walked over and looked down at him, "Second brother, you're full of bad ideas. As your brother, I'll help you get rid of them."

He then kicked again, and a wail echoed in the darkness, accompanied by the sound of the wind, which was rather eerie.

Those who had been huddled under the tarpaulin to warm themselves by the fire now braved the cold and peeked out. The escorts also came over, grumbling, "Which bastard came along in this freezing weather instead of hiding and causing trouble..."

When they saw the two men causing trouble, they were puzzled. These two brothers hadn't been in contact for a while, so how did they end up together again?

"What are you doing instead of resting so late at night?" After all, he was the person in charge, so Ma Zhi walked over with a whip in his hand, but he stood next to Gu Kaiyuan and pointed the whip at Gu Kaichen, "Do you want to get beaten up?"

Gu Kaichen never expected that Gu Kaiyuan would be so ruthless to him. His face was pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead from the pain. "My lord, this has nothing to do with me. He hit me."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "My lord, this is just us brothers playing around. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

As Gu Kaiyuan spoke, he patted Ma Zhi on the shoulder, and then, in front of Gu Kaichen, slipped a silver ingot to Ma Zhi.

Ma Zhi stuffed it directly into his pocket, saying, "Since this is a matter between brothers, you should talk things out and not make things too ugly."

As he left with his brothers, he didn't forget to call out to everyone to rest and not to join in the fun.

Once they left, those heads that had shrunk back out came out again.

Gu Kaichen nearly ground his teeth to dust when he witnessed Gu Kaiyuan giving benefits to the clerk.

This whole family is very frugal, almost to the point of being extremely careful with their money, yet Gu Kaiyuan is so generous. He wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the support from the Bai family.

"Gu Kaiyuan, you really are something else."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just learning from my two elder brothers. You taught me what it means for everyone to look out for themselves. I've already stepped back and stopped competing with you, so why are you still clinging to me?"
"Oh, is it because you look down on Father's wealth?"

"Don't talk nonsense. What assets do we have left?" Gu Kaichen wasn't very smart, but he wasn't stupid either. Could these things be made public?
Gu Kaiyuan nodded with a smile, "Then there's even less reason for us brothers to argue. Our homes have already been ransacked, and even my wife's dowry has been confiscated. It's not right for you to ask my wife for money."

The onlookers were in an uproar. Although everyone knew what had happened with the two girls from the Bai family, it was wrong for you, as the second brother-in-law, to lay hands on your sister-in-law.

"Are they desperate for money?"

"They're not desperate for money; they're just clever."

"Yes, back then, Old Master Gu had people come up to bribe him, so he must have had a lot of money on him. They really can't stand seeing Gu Kaiyuan and his wife doing well. They won't stop until they've squeezed everyone out."

“I say, Gu Lao Er, that’s enough. If you want money, go ask your wife to go back to her parents’ home and ask for it. You’re supposed to be a scholar, how dare you even ask for it…”

For the first time, Gu Kaichen realized where the phrase "utterly ashamed and indignant" was most fitting; there was no more fitting description than his current state.

"Shut up, all of you! What's it to you?" Unable to bear it any longer, he finally roared angrily at the people around him, "This is our family matter, what's it to you?"

"Then stop making a racket here in the middle of the night. You don't need to rest, but we all do."

"Yeah, this isn't your house, does that mean we can't even speak?"

"We haven't even bothered you yet. We were almost asleep when your yelling woke us all up..."
