Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 101 Mooncake Delivery

"You're so stupid. You're exposed." Gu Muxue took the dough from Xue Rui.

"It's really difficult." Xue Rui looked worried.

The ingredients for making mooncakes are prepared in advance by the restaurant chef.

He thought making mooncakes was quite simple, as he usually saw the chefs just kneading the dough, putting it into the mould and pressing it.

When he tried to make it himself, he either broke the mooncake skin or got it stuck to the mould. It was not as easy as it looked.

In fact, the most important thing is that Xue Rui didn't do it seriously at all, and was always thinking about whether there were any loopholes in the game.

Gu Muxue pressed another mooncake and carefully placed it on the tray, then asked casually, "Where did you go when you didn't go to evening self-study?"

Xue Rui paused. There was only a wall between the two classes, and it would be a matter of time before they were discovered.

Xue Rui did not answer immediately. After a brainstorm, he sighed and said, "I am afraid that Chen Tingting will affect my studies, so I stay in the dormitory and study by myself every day."

"That's good." Gu Muxue raised the corner of his mouth. Xue Rui's performance improved a lot this time, so he finally listened to the advice.

"Chen Tingting is really something. I don't know what she likes about you." Gu Muxue glanced at Xue Rui.

Don’t girls nowadays only look at appearance?
Xue Rui's appearance wasn't outstanding. Apart from being taller, there didn't seem to be anything special about him...

"You're right. Anyone who likes me must be crazy." Xue Rui immediately said to himself.

Gu Muxue's eyebrows suddenly raised. What was he talking about?

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but she held back, always feeling that Xue Rui's words were a trap.

Xue Rui put the tray into the oven with a smile, thinking that Gu Muxue was such a smart girl and her reactions were really quick.

If it were Lin Ruoxi, she might be stammering while explaining something at this moment.

After a while, the mooncakes were baked and exuded a sweet fragrance.

To be precise, the two of them were just there to knead the dough, and because of technical issues, many mooncakes had cracks on them.

"Why is it cracked so much?" Gu Muxue felt a little disappointed.

Xue Rui picked up a mooncake and said with a smile: "Mu Xue, call and ask if Uncle Gu is at home today?"

There must have been something wrong in the process of baking the mooncakes. Just now, a chef wanted to remind him of something, but was rejected by Xue Rui.

But cracks are not important. The worse it looks, the more it proves that it was not bought.

Gu Muxue was very disappointed, but Xue Rui was very satisfied.

"My dad is at home, and he asked me what I wanted to eat in the afternoon."

"Well, let's go to your house now."

"Going right now?"

Gu Muxue was a little nervous. She was only in her second year of high school. Wasn’t it too fast?
"Xiao Rui, why don't you just forget it? You can wait until you go to college." Gu Muxue advised in a low voice.

Gu Qingshan's attitude towards Xue Rui is really...

Old Gu was still upset about the last time Xue Rui took her to the snack street, and often reminded her not to go out with boys at night.

She knew that the "boy" was Xue Rui.

Xue Rui is going to her house today, and she is afraid that Xue Rui will be kicked out by Lao Gu.

She didn't want Lao Gu to be angry, nor did she want Xue Rui to be bullied.

"Let's go today." Xue Rui was firm.

Wait until you go to college? By then, the opportunity will be gone.

"Oh." Gu Muxue murmured.

It was the first time she saw Xue Rui take something so seriously.

She was now excited, nervous, and a little worried.

The driver was waiting outside the restaurant. After the two got in the car, Gu Muxue became restless.

"Xiao Rui, if my dad says something unpleasant later, don't take it to heart."

Gu Muxue gave Xue Rui a shot of prevention in advance.

"How could that be? Uncle Gu looks like a gentle and refined person." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"I mean if, if you understand?"

"No ifs."

……

Soon, the two arrived at the door of a villa.

It was almost 7 o'clock and it was getting dark.

Xue Rui was carrying a large paper bag containing freshly baked mooncakes, a bottle of Moutai and a pack of Hetianxia cigarettes.

The cigarettes and alcohol were all taken from the restaurant and registered under his father's name.

Ren Jun has been blamed for the cigarettes and alcohol that were taken last time.

This time, Xue Rui said that he would give it to Gu Qingshan. He believed that his father would not have any objection.

After all, Xue Jianfeng had urged him to pursue Gu Qingshan’s daughter some time ago.

What’s the big deal about supporting a little bit of tobacco and alcohol?
Gu Muxue was holding an exquisite pastry gift box in her hand, which contained some seasonal pastries from the south, such as plum blossom cakes.

Xue Rui knew that Zhao Lizhen was from Jiangnan, so he specially went to find these things. Since the restaurant didn't have them, he even had someone buy some for them outside.

For Zhao Lizhen, who comes from a wealthy family, the value of the item is not important at all. What is important is the intention of the gift giver.

However, for Gu Qingshan, Xue Rui still bought the more expensive cigarettes and alcohol. After all, when asking someone to do something, his attitude had to be acceptable.

"Go away, Mr. Gu is not at home." The nanny pushed a man out.

"I saw everything. Please just let me in. Please be flexible." The man took out an envelope and stuffed it into the nanny's hand with a flattering look on his face.

"I told you not to. If you do that I will be fired."

The nanny dropped the envelope on the floor and pointed to the camera at the door.

"Alas~" The middle-aged man picked up the envelope and walked towards Xue Rui dejectedly.

When they passed by, the two looked at each other. Xue Rui saw that the man had something similar in his hand, a large paper bag.

Xue Rui knew what was inside without having to guess.

The man saw Xue Rui holding the same package and gave a bitter smile: "What's the big deal? Students also give gifts."

"I advise you to go back. Director Gu won't accept it."

Xue Rui smiled, did not answer, and continued walking towards the villa.

The man had a worried look on his face. He sat on the curb and lit a cigarette.

Then, he saw Xue Rui being taken in by the nanny with a smile on her face.

"No, why?"

The man angrily threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

After entering the room, the nanny looked at Xue Rui with a strange expression.

It was Mid-Autumn Festival recently, and there were so many people coming to give gifts, just like flies, you couldn’t drive them all away.

The thing in this boy's hand looked like a gift, but the school uniform he wore was the same as Gu Muxue's, so it was obvious that they were classmates.

Should she rush him or not? She was a little unsure.

"Are Uncle Gu and Aunt Zhao at home?" Xue Rui asked knowingly.

Gu Muxue frowned. Didn’t she say it all just now?
"Xue Rui?"

Gu Qingshan was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw Xue Rui and Gu Muxue come in together, he frowned instantly.

"Uncle Gu, isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival? I'm here to give you and Auntie some mooncakes."

Xue Rui took the gift box from Gu Muxue and placed it in the corner of the coffee table with a smile, but he deliberately placed the box of pastries on the coffee table.

The nanny's face looked much better instantly; it turned out to be a friend she knew.

“Xiao Liu, take Mu Xue to eat first.” Gu Qingshan winked.

"I'm not hungry, just now..." Gu Muxue explained.

However, Aunt Liu saw through the trick and pulled Gu Muxue away: "Muxue, go wash your hands first."

Gu Qingshan didn't even look at it, he just said coldly: "Take it back, my family doesn't need mooncakes."

"Uncle Gu, you can't say that. This box of pastries was specially given to Aunt Zhao by me, and it's Aunt Zhao who refuses it." Xue Rui said with a smile.

“What about this?” Gu Qingshan glanced coldly.

The mouth of the bag was open, and the contents were exposed.

Xue Rui is exactly the same as Xue Jianfeng. It's okay to be a brother with such a person, but if he becomes his son-in-law, he will go crazy.

Gu Qingshan had been prepared. If this guy mentioned anything about his daughter, he would kick him out immediately.

"This is the mooncake that Mu Xue and I made especially for you." Xue Rui took out a bag of mooncakes from the paper bag.

The mooncakes given to Gu Qingshan were packaged very simply, in a plastic bag. One could clearly see that the color inside was uneven and some of the mooncakes were cracked.

Gu Qingshan was stunned. Was this mooncake made by his daughter?
Well, this one can't be refused.

Gu Qingshan thought for a moment: "I'll take the mooncake."

"I got this wine from my father. He seems to have kept it for many years. It looks very precious." Xue Rui said in a low voice.

“Hmm?” Gu Qingshan exclaimed softly, and suddenly felt that this wine could be kept.

"Dad, I made the mooncake. Try it and see if it's delicious."

Gu Muxue came over with a bowl of rice, her eyes moving between the two of them.

Gu Qingshan’s mouth twitched. He had just sent Gu Muxue away, and now she comes over again?
"Xue'er, have you finished your homework?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I'm done." Gu Muxue sat down on the sofa, meaning that she was not going to leave.

"Mu Xue, I can't find my first-year high school physics book. Didn't you say you would lend me yours?" Xue Rui said.

"Really?" Gu Muxue looked confused. When did Xue Rui tell her about this?

"Yes." Xue Rui nodded.

"Oh, I'll go look for it." Gu Muxue realized that both of them wanted to get rid of her.

But since Xue Rui is so confident, it would be better for her not to get in the way.

Gu Muxue left with the bowl of rice, looking back every three steps before leaving.

Gu Qingshan’s teeth were about to break.

The most painful moment for a father is when his daughter does not listen to him about the same thing, but listens to another man.

"Uncle Gu, I think the most important thing for students is their studies."

Xue Rui said something very correct.

“Yeah.” Gu Qingshan nodded, his expression looking better.

"Of course, the most important thing for a man is his career." Xue Rui said seriously.

“Career?” Gu Qingshan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Is this what a high school student would say?
"I recently made a game, and I don't quite understand a lot of the procedures and legal processes, so I came here specifically to ask Uncle Gu for advice." Xue Rui said sincerely.

“Is that so?” Gu Qingshan felt relieved immediately. It turned out that Xue Rui had another purpose for coming here today.

"Yes, for example, the issue of registering a company, the process of registering a word trademark, and what category should be registered..."

Xue Rui spoke out his problem.

In fact, he understood most of these things, but it was difficult to handle them due to his current identity.

"You are old enough to register a company, but you cannot be a legal person."

"I know this. I just want to ask Uncle Gu if there is any agency that he is familiar with."

"I have to go to school now, so I don't have that much time to go through the formalities."
