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

Chapter 218. Can't Carry It

“Open source, you know that Big Brother has always been so hypocritical,” Gu Kaichen stood up, brushed the snow off his body, and said sarcastically, “He’s been the only one favored in the family for too long, and he can’t stand anyone challenging his authority.”

So what if they have ulterior motives? I have ulterior motives too.

This is a perfect match, and everyone gets what they want.

As for who will ultimately prevail? That depends on their individual abilities.

Gu Kaichen puts on a good act at home, but he also has a reputation for being a womanizer in the capital. Although he doesn't take a concubine, he has quite a few women outside.

Otherwise, with Xu Yulan's good health, there's no way she could have only one child.

"..." Seeing his two younger brothers' unruly behavior, Gu Kaiping felt helpless. If only they were as obedient as before.

"Besides, do you think that if you stop Dad now, he won't find us a stepmother later?"
If you really wait until you return to the capital to find someone of equal social standing, or someone from a wealthy and powerful family, brother, do you have the ability to control yourself?

Now I think this Xu woman isn't so bad after all. She's all alone and helpless. As long as we find something to hold against her, or exploit her weakness, even if her background is dishonorable, she won't dare to do anything to us."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at his second brother as if he were a stranger. Not bad, he hadn't learned anything else at the academy all these years, but he had learned a lot of crooked ways.

Gu Kaiping snorted coldly, "You make it sound so easy. Tell me, what leverage or weakness does the other side have?"

Gu Kaichen's voice was filled with excitement, "Isn't this easy to say? She's just a woman, and she just happened to be blocking our way. We can directly ask her who instructed her. We already know everything about her. As long as she tells the truth, we can even get Father to accept her."

“As for her weaknesses,” Gu Kaichen chuckled maliciously, “her two daughters.”

Don't say I, as your younger brother, don't understand you, my elder brother. Let's each take one and bring them into the room; that way, we'll all be bound together."

Gu Kaiyuan quietly stepped back a few paces, afraid of being infected by this stupidity.

Gu Kaiping was dumbfounded. "You're really our brother?"

Gu Kaiyuan used to seem simple-minded and easy to manipulate, but after this period of time, he has realized that Gu Kaiyuan is the one who is hiding the deepest secret.

On the contrary, the longer you spend time with Gu Kaichen, the more you feel that his thought process is different from others. Could it be that he was influenced by the Xu family? Like his maternal grandfather?
He looked at Gu Kaiyuan and saw that his avoidance attitude meant that none of them were easy to deal with.

“How am I not your brother? Look how much I look like Mother.” Gu Kaichen said, then looked at Gu Kaiyuan with some disdain. “If we’re not blood brothers, then we should be the third one.”

Gu Kaiping said, "...Open source is most like a grandmother."

When his grandmother passed away, Gu Kaichen was only a three or four-year-old child, so it's understandable that he had no memory of it. However, Gu Kaiping was raised by his grandmother for several years, so of course he remembered.

"..." Gu Kai was a little puzzled. Why hadn't he heard them mention this before?

And if the open source looks most like the grandmother, shouldn't it also be the most favored?

Before he could think further, Gu Kaiping continued, "Don't think you're the only smart person in the world. What you can think of, others have already thought of long ago. I even think they're not mother and daughter at all. Can you see any resemblance between them?"

“It’s not that I can be like my father, but I can also be like the other elders in the family, as you said.”

Watching the two brothers go back and forth, Gu Kaiyuan was a little worried for Gu Kaiping. Would he really collapse from anger?

"Think whatever you want. Don't drag us down with your stupidity." Gu Kaiping saw that he was still stubborn and couldn't be led astray. He didn't want to. "As for the family secrets, if you dare to reveal them, our whole family will be stuck in Lingnan for the rest of our lives."

Suddenly, he regretted telling Gu Kaichen about his family matters. In fact, it was all Gu Kaiyuan's fault. If that kid hadn't brought it up, Gu Kaichen would have only had some guesses at most.

“Brother, I’m not stupid,” Gu Kaichen rolled his eyes, feeling looked down upon. “I may be lustful, but I value my life. I’m still hoping that Father and you can take me back to the capital. What kind of beauties can’t we find there? This isn’t something to kill time when we’re bored. I know what’s more important.”

Whether Gu Kaiping believed it or not, he had no choice now. "You know it's best. I suspect they probably came for this reason too."

But I still suggest you don't touch them; we can't afford any more internal strife in our family right now.

After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Kaiyuan and said, "Are you just going to watch our family fall into danger like this?"

Gu Kaiyuan: "Brother, do you want me to get involved?"
It's like the sky wanting to rain, a mother wanting to remarry, and a father wanting to take a second wife. It's the same for us sons; how can we stop it?

Besides, brother, aren't you being a bit of an overreacter? You can think of the problem, but do you think Father couldn't?
I think you should have a proper talk with him in private, so you don't end up doing something wrong with your good intentions.

After Gu Kaiyuan finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Gu Kaiping quickly blocked his way again. "Look, with three more people, it's quite crowded. You have many women on your side, why don't you let the sisters come to your side?"

Gu Kaiyuan was amused. "Brother, what are you playing at this time? Are you trying to shift the blame?"

Gu Kaiyuan showed no mercy and directly attacked, "As we agreed before, wouldn't it be better to keep to ourselves?"
"I still want me, your brother, to give you a helping hand, so you don't have too much free time and start looking for trouble everywhere."

As Gu Kaiyuan spoke, a threatening glint appeared in his eyes. Gu Kaiping was so frightened that he took several steps back. Feeling that his elder brother's dignity had been violated, he darkened his face and said in a hard voice, "I can let them take the rations over."

Gu Kaiyuan ignored him and looked at Gu Kaichen instead, "Second brother, is eldest brother planning to send your twin sisters away? What are you thinking?"

Gu Kaichen said, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Although it's a bit crowded, it's warmer when you're squeezed in."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and let out a strange, chuckling laugh.

Gu Kaiyuan gave Gu Kaiping a provocative look before walking away.

"Can't you have any backbone?" After the scheming person left, Gu Kaiping cursed angrily, "I was just saying that. Gu Kaiyuan definitely won't agree. We'll just send a few of the younger ones over then. Can he refuse then?"

“Brother, don’t make it sound so high-sounding,” Gu Kaichen clearly didn’t believe him. “Look at this world, it’s freezing cold. Everyone would rather huddle around a fire than lie in a cold carriage. There’s no problem with where to stay.”

As for not having enough room, that's out of the question. The journey was so bumpy; sometimes riding in a car isn't as comfortable as walking.
