Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 385 The Senior Brother Reappears

"Senior Brother?"

Guan Gu didn't react immediately: "Which senior brother?"

Nanfeng looked at Guangu: "Which other senior brother could it be?"

"impossible!"

Guan Gu replied confidently, "How could Senior Brother come to the apartment without informing me beforehand? He came with Zi Qiao instead."

Nanfeng burst out laughing: "So you think I misheard?"

Guan Gu hesitated upon hearing this.

He knew how sharp Nanfeng's ears were, but he was unwilling to believe that his senior brother hadn't contacted him the moment he arrived at the apartment, but instead went to find Ziqiao.

Without saying a word, Guan Gu rushed to the elevator entrance to wait.

Seeing that Guan Gu had run out, everyone came to the elevator entrance one by one to wait.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, the man standing next to Ziqiao, wearing black-rimmed glasses and with a blank, taciturn expression, could only be Du Jun, Guan Gu's senior brother.

"Senior Brother, you..."

Before Guan Gu could finish speaking, Zi Qiao rushed up and started groping Guan Gu all over.

"Where's my money? Where's my money?"

Ziqiao cried out in grievance, "I may not have contributed to the 'most beautiful suite' thing, but I certainly put in the effort! You can't just swallow all my bonus like this!"

"Everyone……"

The eldest brother spoke slowly, maintaining his steady speaking style even after several months.

Guan Gu disdainfully slapped away Zi Qiao's large hands, which were roaming freely over his body.

"Ziqiao, calm down. We didn't steal your bonus."

"This is all what you owe us. Who told you to owe us money and not pay it back?"

Guan Gu said, "As the saying goes: 'Debts must be repaid; to do so is immoral and against all reason...'"

"Guan Gu, it's only natural," Curry Sauce corrected in a low voice.

"Number one in Tianjin?"

Guan Gu asked with wide curiosity, "So, does that mean people from Tianjin never default on their debts?"

"Oh no, that's not it..."

Curry Sauce continued to explain to Guan Gu.

"..."

"...Okay." The senior brother finally finished his greeting.

Guan Gu was still discussing the old saying with Curry Sauce, while Zeng Xiaoxian was making cheeky winks at Zi Qiao.

"Ziqiao, you always have to pay back the money you owe. Who told you to owe exactly 15,000 yuan?"

"Now that everyone is here, we can confront each of you and see if anyone has wronged you."

Ziqiao was speechless for a moment.

He might not even know how much he owes outside, but he remembers clearly the amount he owes to everyone.

All told, it really does come to 15,000.

Damn, if I had known this would happen, I would have borrowed more.

Yifei glanced at Ziqiao and asked aggressively, "Lu Ziqiao, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

"How could that be?"

Ziqiao smiled ingratiatingly, "If I had the money, I would definitely pay you back, but right now I'm really short of funds... I, I, I'm waiting for this money to save my life."

Seeing everyone busy pressing Zi Qiao for repayment, the eldest disciple remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"you……"

"Help! Whose life do you need help?"

Yifei pushed Youyou forward: "Before, we might have believed your nonsense about your second aunt, third aunt, and fourth cousin being sick, but now that Youyou is here, you'd better think carefully about why you have money but don't pay it back."

Youyou proudly stated, "First, I will absolutely not act impulsively. Second..."

Yifei looked embarrassed: "Youyou, we asked you to be a witness, not to be the Dragonfly Captain."

"Oh..." Youyou pouted.

"..."

"……real……"

Seeing that the "family card" had lost its effect, Ziqiao changed the subject: "Um, I have a friend..."

Before Ziqiao could finish speaking, Yumo interrupted him: "Go on, I want to see which of your friends is so desperate for money that they'd come to you to borrow some."

"...If I urgently need money to pick up girls, would you agree to it?"

What do you think?!

Everyone looked at Ziqiao with kind expressions.

Ziqiao sighed: "Fine, never mind."

"..."

"...Are you just going to ignore me like this?" The eldest brother sighed.

Ziqiao knew in his heart that the chances of him getting the prize money were very slim, but he was still unwilling to give up.

For him, only money that he actually holds in his hands counts as money; bonuses used to pay off debts are just a waste of time.

He had worked hard for half a month, participating in filming and helping to garner votes. If he didn't get a single penny in the end, he would be extremely frustrated.

Ziqiao clasped his hands together and pleaded, "My creditors, I have no problem with you asking me to repay the money, but please leave me some as well."

Nanfeng chuckled mischievously, "In that case... you'll have to ask if anyone is willing to be merciful and let you delay payment for a while longer."

"But don't worry about me. No one who owes me money can keep putting it off indefinitely."

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao immediately looked at a major creditor who owed him the most money and had been in arrears for the longest time.

"Guan Gu".

He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Could you please make an exception?"

"Da me da! Da me da!"

Without even thinking, Guan Gu refused outright: "Zi Qiao, you've owed me this money for a long time, we can't delay any longer."

Ziqiao grinned and said, "How about this, I'll pay you back the three thousand yuan I owe you, and then... you lend me another five thousand?"

"What?!?!"

Guan Gu's forehead veins throbbed violently; he suddenly felt an urge to stab Zi Qiao.

"Lu Ziqiao, do you really think I'm stupid?"

"No, no, it's just a small suggestion."

Ziqiao made a gesture, as if the suggestion was really, really small.

A cold, eerie glint flashed across his eye, and Ziqiao instinctively turned his head to look, but found nothing.

When he turned around, he saw Guan Gu holding a kaishaku (second sword) and glaring at him fiercely.

"Holy crap, where did you pull that long knife from?"

Ziqiao was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter where this knife came from, what matters is where it will stab later."

Guan Gu grinned maliciously, "Watch me commit seppuku in a minute!"

"Calm down, Guan Gu, you absolutely must calm down!"

"Auntie, help me!"

As Ziqiao shrank behind Youyou, he lamented to himself how the world had gone to such a low point.

Guan Gu used to be such an honest kid, but when pushed to the limit, he only dared to say, "Be careful, or I'll commit seppuku in a minute."

After staying in the apartment for less than a year, he now cuts into other people's abdomens instead of his own.

They've really been corrupted by the south wind.

Seeing that Zi Qiao was so spineless as to hide behind You You, Guan Gu could only reluctantly put away his knife.

Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage from Guangu, Ziqiao could only look to Youyou with hope.

"Auntie!"

He said with a mournful voice, "I am the only male in our family. When you came, my mother told us to take care of each other. You are my only relative here."

"Now that your nephew is being chased for debts in front of you, even if you don't help me, don't force me like they do."

"Sorry, your auntie is also broke lately."

Youyou rolled her eyes at Ziqiao: "Also, Twelfth Sister's baby is about to be born."

"If this baby is a boy, you won't be the only male in our family anymore. You'd better watch out, all of us aunties might team up and skin you alive!"

Youyou said fiercely, "This nephew of mine, Lu Ziqiao, is really heartless. He even tries to renege on his aunt's money."

Did he know that he still had more than a dozen credit cards to pay off? Even so, he still managed to save up some money to lend to him.

Oh, it seems he really doesn't know.

That's okay

Ziqiao shuddered in fear upon hearing Youyou's words.

If he were no longer the only male in the family, given the awful things he had done over the past twenty years, he might actually be betrayed by his aunts.

Having been rebuffed by his aunt, Ziqiao then turned his attention to Xiaoxian.

"Teacher Zeng, we're like brothers."

Zeng Xiaoxian said gloatingly, "Don't even mention being good brothers, even if you were my own brother, we still need to settle accounts clearly."

"What about Yu Mo?"

Yu Mo smiled and refused, "No way!"

"Wanyu~"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense!" Wanyu closed her eyes and covered her ears.

"curry……"

Curry Sauce's eyes darted around, but she didn't reply.

……

After trying around, Ziqiao couldn't find anyone willing to give him more time.

If we miss this opportunity, given Zi Qiao's unpredictable income, who knows when he'll pay us back?

Friendship is friendship, but repaying money is repaying money.

If you always talk about feelings when it's time to talk about money, you'll end up losing a lot of money.

OK!

Ziqiao said dejectedly, "Fine, you guys win. I don't want the bonus, okay?"

"Ziqiao, if you borrow and repay, it's not difficult to borrow again."

Yifei snapped her fingers: "To celebrate winning the prize money, and even more so to celebrate Lu Ziqiao being debt-free, we..."

"Let's eat out!"

"Let's have some fun!"

Yifei put two fingers together and coolly made a gun gesture towards the elevator: "Let's go!"

Everyone headed toward the elevator, and only then did they notice the senior brother standing by the elevator entrance, whom they had previously ignored.

"Senior Brother, why aren't you making a sound?" Yifei asked instinctively.

Senior Brother: "..."

He slowly began, "Actually, I just..."

"..."

"...He kept talking."

"But...you guys..."

"..."

"...They all ignore me..."

"..."

"……exist."

Zhang Wei was stunned when he first met his senior brother. After a long silence, he finally asked weakly, "What's up with this guy?"

"That's how my senior brother always speaks."

Zhanbo whispered to Zhang Wei, "If you're not used to it, do what I do. Every time I hear my senior brother speak, I imagine him as a Transformer running out of energy. Doesn't that make it feel more natural?"

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement.

If you imagine it this way, the way this person called Senior Brother speaks not only doesn't seem out of place at all, but also has a faint sense of tragic grandeur.

"By the way, Zhang Wei, you don't know Senior Brother yet."

Guan Gu was reminded by Zhang Wei's question, and he introduced Zhang Wei and his senior brother to each other.

"Senior brother, this is Zhang Wei, my roommate from room 3604. He just graduated with a master's degree and is now a paralegal."

"Zhang Wei, this is Du Jun, my senior brother who studied comics with me. He is also a very outstanding comic artist."

Zhang Weichao extended his hand to his senior brother: "Hello, senior brother, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The senior apprentice politely shook hands with Zhang Wei: "Hello, it's a pleasure..."

"..."

"...I know you."

Guan Gu chuckled sheepishly at first, then seemed to remember something: "Senior Brother, what brings you to the apartment? Why didn't you let me know you were coming?"

"Here's what happened..."

Du Jun spoke slowly.

Here it comes!

"Here's what happened..."

Du Jun spoke slowly.

A whole day has passed since I started talking, hahaha...
