After rebirth, they all moved into my house.

Lu Yuan was brought to the study. Just when Lu Yuan was still thinking about how to knock on the door appropriately and politely, Gu Jiuyi's mother pushed the door open in front of Lu Yuan's stunned gaze, pushed Lu Yuan in, and closed the door in one go.

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Then go back to your room to take a shower and rest." The voice of Gu Jiuyi's mother came from outside the room.

Lu Yuan: ...

With such a mother, it’s no wonder that Gu Jiuyi is unwilling to introduce her to him.

"You are Lu Yuan, right?"

From the depths of the room, a powerful middle-aged male voice came. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a man who also looked very young, with just a little gray in his hair. He was wearing a bathrobe, and the muscular outline of his chest was vaguely visible. He was also a man who exercised regularly.

"It's me. Are you Uncle Gu?" Lu Yuan asked cautiously.

"Haha, don't be nervous. After all, it was me who asked you to come." Uncle Gu explained a little awkwardly, "Come and sit here. I'll pour you a drink."

"Um...Okay, thank you uncle." Lu Yuan was a little surprised because such a big boss actually stood up to find a cup to pour him a drink.

But Uncle Gu brought back two high-heeled glasses and a bottle of red wine, which made Lu Yuan's eyes twitch.

"Um... Uncle Gu, I only have a taste for alcohol. As for red wine, I'm only a high school student. Would it be inappropriate for me to drink it?" Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand.

"Oh?" Uncle Gu raised his eyebrows, looking a little happy. "What would you like to drink? I have black tea, coffee, and juice."

"Black tea."

Lu Yuan sat down on the sofa and couldn't help but look around the study. The collection of books here was quite rich and impressive.

After Uncle Gu sat down, Lu Yuan handed him the tea he had bought.

"Oh, you're so polite! I've troubled you to take care of my daughter for so many days, and you still remember to give me a gift." Uncle Gu took the tea leaves very enthusiastically. "How about this, from now on, you can call me Uncle, and Uncle can call you Xiaoyuan too?"

"Uncle?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

Isn't that a bit too familiar? Uncle Gu, you're indeed my father's most important client, but this is just our first meeting. If the relationship is close, you can call him uncle, but the problem is, if the relationship is that close, wouldn't it be better to call him uncle?

"Well, Xiaoyuan, you help take care of my daughter. If you still call me uncle, it would be so distant. Just call me uncle." Uncle Gu poured himself a glass of red wine and shook the glass.

"...Okay, uncle." Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he took a sip of red tea to cover it up.

"Well, you can also call Yiyi's mother aunt."

"Okay, but Auntie has already told me to call her 'Sister'."

"Sister? That's fine too. As long as Zhuzi is happy."

Uncle Gu took a sip of wine and was not surprised by Gu Jiuyi's mother's behavior.

"Xiaoyuan, your uncle heard that you live alone. Is it tiring to live alone?" Uncle Gu poured Lu Yuan another cup of black tea and began to chat with him about family matters.

"No, I'm used to it."

"I heard that you have always had good grades. While balancing your academic performance, you have also made achievements in track and field and basketball. Your uncle really appreciates this."

"It's just a little child's quarrel. It's still far worse than what my uncle did."

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyuan, you live alone, but you haven't given up on yourself or grown up in a wrong way. Do you have any secret? Can you share it with your uncle?" Uncle Gu's expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing Uncle Gu become serious, Lu Yuan also perked up a little. "Because Yunhai's public middle and high schools both focus on both moral character and academics, it's not enough to just be good at studying. Every school year there are moral character assessments and academic style corrections. Plus, I understand how hard my parents' work is, so I won't think of causing them any trouble."

The educational resources in big cities are not only reflected in the teaching staff, but also in the correction of academic style and ideological work. Schools also have psychological teachers and psychology classes. If you have any psychological pressure, you can go to the psychological teacher for consultation.

School discipline is also strictly enforced at the request of the Education Bureau. For example, at Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, cameras provide almost all-round coverage, and any exposed incidents of campus violence will be discovered immediately.

Even if the high school entrance examination eliminates the poor students but does not filter out the scum, they will not dare to cause trouble in the school. If the matter gets a little bigger and escalates to a point where the student union cannot handle it and the teachers cannot get a proper solution, the school will persuade them to withdraw.

In the vast Yunhai, only less than a thousand people can be admitted to No. 1 Middle School every year. Being persuaded to drop out by No. 1 Middle School means that you can only spend money to use connections to enter a private high school, so no one is willing to give up this degree.

Lu Yuan tried his best in the high school entrance examination and was finally able to enter No. 1 Middle School, and he was unwilling to give up.

Moreover, every time his parents came back and left, they would often tell him that he should work hard to live on his own, not give up on himself, communicate with them if he had any sad things, and call them at any time if something happened, and they would definitely rush back as soon as possible.

Even though so many years have passed, he has never made a single phone call for help.

"I see." Uncle Gu nodded. "Uncle, can you understand that you are so motivated because you want to share some of the pressure at home?"

"It's not that I would say the pressure is too great. The living expenses are enough, and I even have pocket money. They are just busy with work. And I also want to thank my uncle for believing in my ability and giving me such a job." Lu Yuan bowed slightly to Uncle Gu to express his gratitude.

"Xiaoyuan, you don't have to be so polite. Your uncle really admires you. You are so mature and capable of standing on your own at such a young age." Uncle Gu praised.

"Uncle, thank you for the compliment." Lu Yuan said helplessly.

In fact, he didn't have to go through so much trouble and could have stayed in the school. However, considering the efficiency, he chose to live in Yehai Community and accepted his father's advice to tutor Gu Jiuyi.

"Alas, Yiyi is a different child. She just makes trouble with her uncle at home and doesn't even come to see her uncle when she comes back." When he said this, Uncle Gu couldn't help but sigh.

"Um, uncle, I think your daughter...Jiuyi is just still in her rebellious phase." Lu Yuan hurriedly comforted.

Who doesn’t have a puberty at the age of fourteen or fifteen?

Lu Yuan had this experience too, but when he wanted to vent, he would choose to play basketball crazily with his classmates. After a game of sweat, he would continue to be squeezed by the school teachers to study. In the end, he compromised with the teachers and the teachers stopped squeezing his spare time as long as his grades met the standards.

"That's why I envy your parents, Xiaoyuan. But it's not easy for you either. If your parents could give you the same life, would you be like Yiyi?"

"..."

"Did Uncle say something he shouldn't have? Uncle didn't mean to blame your parents for not giving you a good life, Xiaoyuan, nor did he mean to say that you are not good. Xiaoyuan, please don't take it to heart. If you feel that Uncle has offended you, then Uncle apologizes to you. I'm sorry."

"Uncle, please don't be like this. Your apology makes me feel embarrassed and at a loss."

Lu Yuan waved his hands quickly. He knew that what Uncle Gu said was true. It is easy not to cherish things that are easily obtained, and a good life cannot be forced upon others.

"No matter what, if you do something wrong or say something wrong, you should apologize. Uncle made a mistake, so you must have the courage to admit it and correct it. Uncle hopes that you can do what I just said. As for what I said before, Xiaoyuan, don't take it to heart."

"……it is good."

Lu Yuan unexpectedly found it easy to get along with Gu Jiuyi's father. Even though he knew that he was a big boss and a big shot, he didn't feel uncomfortable getting along with him. It was as if he was just a kind elder.

Of course, Lu Yuan knew that Uncle Gu must have received an elite education, and his attitude towards people was not pretended. He would bow to the younger generation just because of a slightly ambiguous word. This made Lu Yuan respect him very much, because respect is mutual.

Maybe it was because of Uncle Gu's influence that Jiuyi apologized to herself in the end?

"It's getting late, uncle, let's chat for a few more minutes." Uncle Gu checked the time, then looked at Lu Yuan, "I heard that Yiyi pissed you off the next night, Xiaoyuan. Please forgive me for that."

"It's okay, it's okay. Jiuyi has already apologized to me."

Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. This was the second time Uncle Gu had apologized to him tonight.

"My daughter wasn't well educated, and it's caused trouble for you, Xiaoyuan. I'm also responsible." Uncle Gu took a sip of red wine and thought for a moment. "So, Xiaoyuan, can I ask you a favor?"

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Uncle, just tell me what you want to say. I'm listening."

"Well, it's like this. Uncle is very busy at work and may not have much time to take care of her." Uncle Gu sighed and then looked at Lu Yuan expectantly, "So can I leave Yiyi to you?"

18. She whispered [30/42]

"what?"

Lu Yuan was really confused. Even though he was confused all day, he was still not as confused as he is now.

No, uncle, you're mistaken, aren't you? What does that look you give your son-in-law? I absolutely don't have any improper thoughts about your daughter, please don't misunderstand me. Even if I'm an adult mentally, I'm only sixteen. I'm not even an adult yet!

"Uncle said, can I leave Yiyi to you to take care of? It's like helping uncle take care of the child. Uncle and your aunt are busy with work, and Yiyi is in a rebellious period and we can't take care of her." Uncle Gu changed the subject and added.

"...You just want me to be a nanny, right?" Lu Yuan was embarrassed. Does this family like to joke so much?

Uncle Gu then looked at Lu Yuan with a serious expression, "Well, it's not like being a nanny. Aren't you Xiaoyuan's tutor now? Besides studying, you should also teach her more and take her out to play more. You don't have to worry about the money. But if you feel that you are too tired or the salary is not enough, just talk to your uncle."

Lu Yuan was embarrassed and said, "You are too polite, uncle. The salary is already high enough. I will not feel at ease if it is higher."

The salary Uncle Gu paid was completely in accordance with the charging standards of the Xinghai tutoring institution outside, and the full amount was given to him. Now he has some money on hand, but he just saved it and didn't spend it.

"Okay, it's past ten o'clock. You should go upstairs and have some rest first. Let your aunt take you there." Uncle Gu waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yuan could leave.

"Then uncle, I'll leave first. You should also take care of your health and rest early." Lu Yuan stood up politely.

"Go ahead, you're welcome."

"it is good."

………………

After Uncle Gu confirmed that Lu Yuan had left, he leaned quietly in his leather office chair, thought for a long time, and made a phone call.

"Hello, Lao Gu." The call was connected quickly.

"Acheng, your son is here at my house."

"I know."

"You've always had people protecting him, right? Why don't you accompany him in person?"

"I really want to accompany him, but Xiaolu and I are also very busy."

"They're all excuses. You've done enough over the years, right?"

"...Aying, you know what's going on here." The voice on the other end of the phone sighed.

"Acheng, if you have time, go back and visit him more often. I don't think he's as strong as you think."

"……ok, I get it."

Gu Ying hung up the phone.

………………

After leaving the study, Lu Yuan closed the door quietly to avoid disturbing Uncle Gu.

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Yuan turned his head and looked over. "Jiu...Sister Yuzhu?"

The beautiful silver-haired girl nodded, "Yes, it's me, your sister."

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Jiuyi's mother and couldn't help but sigh that she and Gu Jiuyi looked so much alike. Rather than mother and daughter, he would rather describe them as twins.

If she hadn't been wearing that simple and light white halter dress, Lu Yuan might have really mistaken her for Gu Jiuyi.

"How is it, did Aying bully you?"

"A Ying?"

"He's Yiyi's father." Gu Jiuyi's mother said with a smile.

"Oh, my uncle is very nice to me." Lu Yuan couldn't help but guess Uncle Gu's name. So Uncle Gu's name is 'Gu Ying'? What a handsome name.

Although Uncle Gu is still very handsome now, it seems that he cannot resist the passage of time. However, this should not prevent Uncle Gu from being very charming when he was young, right? Otherwise, he would not have been liked and loved by Gu Jiuyi's mother.

"Uncle? Aying is really sociable." Gu Jiuyi's mother shook her head and sighed.

Lu Yuan thought to himself, Auntie, you're not much better, okay?

"Come on, sister will show you around your room."

After saying that, Gu Jiuyi's mother directly held Lu Yuan's wrist. This was the same as Gu Jiuyi. It seemed that she learned this habit from her mother.

When they arrived at the door of a room, Gu Jiuyi's mother stopped, stood on tiptoe, tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve to make him lower a little, and whispered in his ear, "The child's room is right here. She's taking a bath now. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Lu Yuan quickly covered his nose, fearing that he would accidentally bleed from his nose.

He had actually seen Gu Jiuyi's good figure. Wrapped in a bath towel, she was probably not much different from Ye Yuhan. She was always a powerful weapon that could kill with one blow.

"Sister Yuzhu, are you really Jiuyi's biological mother?" Lu Yuan rubbed his nose and asked this question subconsciously.

"Of course. If he's not my child, how could he look so much like me?" Gu Jiuyi's mother puffed out her chest and said proudly.

Lu Yuan: ...

Are all foreigners so open-minded? From their previous greetings and their silver hair, Lu Yuan could probably guess that they were either foreigners or mixed-race.

"Are you thinking that we foreigners are very open-minded?" Gu Jiuyi's mother looked at him with a smile.

Holy shit! Lu Yuan wondered, was his expression really that obvious? He was clearly trying his best to maintain a poker face, or were these bigwigs already incredibly skilled at analyzing micro-expressions?

"It's normal for you to think this way, but let me make it clear first, sister and Yiyi are both locals!" Gu Jiuyi's mother raised her index finger, asking Lu Yuan to look at her without being distracted.

"Are you mixed-race?" Lu Yuan asked curiously as he looked at their silver hair and lake blue eyes.

"Yes, Yiyi's grandmother is French, and my sister greeted you in French just now~"

"That's it, I understand."

No wonder Gu Jiuyi only eats Western-style breakfast. It seems that she was influenced by that side.

"But even France isn't that open." Gu Jiuyi's mother stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I just want you to pretend to go in, so I can secretly see how panicked the child is."

Lu Yuan: ...

He had already thought of ellipsis in his mind many times tonight, and his forehead was full of black lines.
