Chapter 629. Lessons Learned
Gu Kaiyuan said, "You all stay here and reflect on your actions. I'll have someone bring your food over in a bit."

With that, he took Bai Suihe away, leaving the study to the two of them.

Both brothers wore long faces. The food their father had sent over was, as one can imagine, just some simple vegetarian dishes. It seemed they would have to go hungry again today.

"Big brother, did we make mistakes before?"

Gu Xinyu put down his pen. He hadn't written anything for the past few days, and his hand was a little sore from holding the pen.

"Now that things have come to this, whether we were right or wrong, we have to accept the punishment."

I'll go to the island first this time. Remember to plead for me while I'm at home.

Gu Xingchen felt that he was the elder brother, so he took the responsibility. At the same time, he was thinking that Uncle Yunni should not treat him too harshly.

"How about I go instead?" Gu Xinyu felt guilty because he was always the one who caused trouble, and he couldn't let his older brother take the blame every time.

"I'm the eldest brother, so you should listen to me. Besides, our parents won't do anything to us."

Therefore, those who are loved are fearless, and these two boys have mastered the truth without any instruction.

Unfortunately, they ran into Gu Kaiyuan and his group, who couldn't let them continue developing like this.

After finishing their meal, Bai Suihe and the others talked about the two children. Bai Suihe said, "Let the second son go to the island first. I know a lot of things here. He is the one in charge and instigating things from behind the scenes."

Remember to tell Yunni and the others not to go easy on them just because of their status, and to try to correct their temperaments.

They also set up a private school in Shangpu Village, where their two children studied. However, because of their social status, the other children there gave way to them, which made them arrogant and unruly.

I was thinking of sending them to a private school outside when they were a little older, but now it seems I can't wait. I have to send them to the island sooner and find a strict teacher to guide them.

“I’ll talk to Yunni and tell her you’ve been working hard at home,” Gu Kaiyuan said, noticing the weariness in Bai Suihe’s eyes. Bai Suihe’s job at home wasn’t just taking care of the two children; she had to manage the whole Lingnan business and sometimes even worry about her two brothers-in-law’s businesses.

With the increasing number of industries, people have less and less time to spare.

"It'll be fine once this busy period is over," Bai Suihe said, rubbing her temples. "I'll try to bring a few more people out during this time, and from now on I just need to keep an eye on the big picture."

In the early years, she sent out as many people as she could. Now that these people have gone out to work hard, she has selected a few who can handle things on their own. Now she has called them back so that they can take turns being in charge of a part of the job. Only then can she enjoy her retirement. Otherwise, if she keeps working like this, how is she any different from the corporate slaves she used to be?
……

Gu Xingyang still wanted to rely on her parents, but Gu Kaiyuan picked her up and threw her out the door, closing the door in front of her.

The couple had been separated for so long, yet Gu Xingyang was still so oblivious, following them around constantly, which was really an eyesore.

Gu Xingyang stood outside the closed door, snorted coldly, and rushed into the study, saying, "You two, come here."

The two brothers, who were still working late into the night, suddenly trembled with fear; the most difficult hurdle had arrived.

In this family, what they feared most was not their parents, but their eldest sister.

"Sister, you've been through wind and sun with Dad all this way, you must be exhausted!" The two brothers exchanged a glance and immediately fawned over her. If they dared to run away now, their fate would be even more dire.

So the two of them were very attentive, one carrying a stool and the other pouring tea.

Gu Xingyang walked over, took a sip of tea with an air of superiority, and said, "You know why I'm here. Now tell me, what punishment do you want to receive?"

"Sister, we really didn't mean it," Gu Xingchen said with a wronged look. "We are very filial to our mother at home. We serve her tea and water in the morning, and she eats three meals a day. We listen to her instructions obediently."

"It's just that there was too much homework, and I didn't finish it."

"Still trying to fool me?" Gu Xingyang slammed her hand on the table, looking quite imposing. Seeing her two younger brothers flinch, she nodded in satisfaction, indicating that her authority was still intact. "Who gave you two the audacity to row out to sea in a small boat?"

“Sister,” Gu Xingyu swallowed, “it’s really not our fault. We missed you. The thought of being separated from you for so long made us feel uneasy. Besides, we were well prepared, bringing food and clothes…”

Gu Xingyang reached out and grabbed his ear. "You still have an excuse?"
Do you know what that is? That's the ocean. With such a big ship like ours, plus a few experienced helmsmen, we have to be extra careful out there. Sometimes when we encounter big waves, I have to find an island to hide on.

"You lot are something else! You dare to set sail in a tiny, shabby boat? Are you challenging the authority of the sea god, or are you planning to become his servants?"

"Sister, is there really a sea god?" Gu Xingyu was immediately led astray. Could being the sea god's attendant also make one a god?
Gu Xingyang tightened her grip, and Gu Xingyu, no longer able to let his imagination run wild, cried out in pain, "Sister, be gentle, be gentle, my ear is about to be twisted off."

"People who are ugly still have such high expectations. That's just a flattering way of putting it. If the ship capsizes, just imagine what will happen to you."

"I can swim..."

Gu Xingyu's buttocks were hit hard by a ruler that his sister had somehow produced, which struck him several times.

The brothers who promised to share joys and sorrows with me have now disappeared far away.

He didn't think he had said anything wrong. He could clearly swim, and his swimming skills were quite good. He had even gone diving with some of his uncles before.

"That's the ocean, you think it's just those shallow beaches where we take you swimming?"

Do you know how many creatures live in the ocean? Any one of them could be fatal to you.

Can you swim better than those fish? Can you swim better than those dominant creatures of the sea?
And with your skinny arms and legs, how long and how far can you swim?

Even if you're lucky enough not to be targeted by those marine creatures, you might still find land on the vast ocean…

Gu Xingyang grew angrier the more she thought about it. As long as she thought about this possibility, she couldn't suppress her anger.
She was already like this; her mother must have been so scared and angry.

So today, as the older sister, I have to teach these two unfilial brats how to behave.

It's fine if they just mess around at home; nothing serious will happen for the time being. But if one day no one notices and these two kids actually sneak out, Gu Xingyang doesn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

These two little brats, no matter how naughty they are, are still my own brothers, and also my parents' children. If something really happens to them, I can't bear it, let alone my parents.

Immediately afterwards, a series of wailing sounds came from the study. Gu Kaiyuan, who was holding his wife, curled his lip and said, "Serves him right."
