Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 17 – The successor of the top wealthy family, Lu Jin, is Ruan Yōu’s biggest fan.

Lu Jin was taken aback.

“How could that be!”

He simply liked the chivalrous demeanor that Ruan Yōu exuded. Of course, it would be nice to become her family and see her every day, but not being her boyfriend.

Gu Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jin looked at Gu Fuchen suspiciously, “Why are you so nervous?”

“I’m not nervous.”

Lu Jin lightly said, “Could it be…”

Gu Fuchen’s throat tightened.

The doors and windows of the lounge were closed, and for the best viewing experience, the room was pitch black and dimly lit.

In this sealed environment, time passed slowly.

The ticking sound of the clock was audible, as if he could hear the seconds passing by. For Gu Fuchen, who was waiting for Lu Jin to continue with the second half of his sentence, this period of time was extremely agonizing.

As he felt Lu Jin’s scrutinizing gaze on him, his eyebrows furrowed. When he was about to burst out in anger, Lu Jin laughed lightly and asked, “Do you take what the elders say seriously?”

Gu Fuchen relaxed a little, ‘What do you mean?’

Lu Jin turned on the crystal lamp in the lounge, while elegantly and calmly adjusting his tie and suit. With a slight smile on his lips, he provocatively raised his chin and said, “My parents always say that if your sister is found, then I should marry into your family as your brother-in-law. I know I’m excellent, but your Gu family cannot get me.”

“Huh?” Gu Fuchen sneered mockingly, “Remember your words. My sister won’t get married even when she’s forty. Get lost, narcissist.”

With that, he left Lu Jin’s office in large strides.

When Gu Fuchen came out, he exuded an overbearing aura of indifference, and Song Wen immediately followed.

In the elevator of the Lu Group’s building, Song Wen stole a glance at Gu Fuchen’s expressionless face. After they reached the parking lot, he respectfully opened the car door for him.

Once they were all seated in the car, with only the driver, Gu Fuchen, and Song Wen present, Song Wen tactfully spoke up, “Mr. Gu, everything at the Lu Corporation today was eye-opening for me.”

The 996 working hours of the boss, the normal hours of the employees, and the constantly rising market value. Everything was so orderly, it was truly admirable!

Gu Fuchen’s lips tightened, remembering the entire set of equipment for chasing stars in Lu Jin’s lounge: the huge screen for watching videos, the photo album and magazines he had bought after joining the Super Topics. His face darkened a few shades.

“He did indeed do a good job.”

Song Wen suppressed his excitement and deliberately put on a serious face as he said, “We’re just a little behind, but as long as we focus on one goal and work hard, we can always catch up with them.”

Gu Fu Chen raised an eyebrow. “You’re right.”

Song Wen chuckled. The car was silent for about five seconds before two voices sounded at the same time.

—”I will immediately compress your recent schedule and squeeze out more time for work.”

—”Cancel all useless social engagements and find someone who is very good at chasing stars to come see me.”

Gu Fuchen: ” ? “

Song Wen : ” ?? “

The driver sighed and looked at the two people in the rearview mirror.

Even though they had previously chatted across channels so smoothly, they had worked together for so many years after all.

But actually—

They have no tacit understanding at all.

Gu Fuchen glanced at Song Wen, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

Song Wen saw the words unspoken in Gu Fu Chen’s eyes—

Make me work? You try it.

Song Wen felt bitter in his heart.

As a small special assistant, he was handling the boss’s heart while being paid as an assistant.

“Mr. Gu, although Bozhan is in state of prosperity recently, as the ancients said, we should always be prepared for danger in times of peace. If we don’t work hard, the Lu, Fu, Jiang, and even the Qi and Wen families may surpass you. Although you and the others are friends, you should hope for Miss Ruan to earn the most money, right?”

Song Wen thought for a moment and solemnly added, “This is the only thing you can give to Miss Ruan.”

Gu Fuchen’s face changed slightly, hesitated for a while, and nodded reluctantly, “I’ll work during the day and chase stars at night. Cancel the dinner parties.”

He had to use his evening time to catch up with Lu Jin’s position in the Super Topics and become the biggest fan of Ruan Yōu in the industry!

Song Wen had to comply with his boss’s request: “Okay, Mr. Gu.”

“Remember to find someone who loves star-chasing.”

“I understand, Mr. Gu.”

The car drove towards Gu’s home.

As Gu Fuchen got off the car, he suddenly reminded: “Remember to check the fans list and master the Super Topics proficiently.”

Song Wen took a deep breath and said, “Okay, boss. I will become a professional who can master the Super Topics as proficiently as I can master PPT and present it to you.”

“Hurry up.”

Watching the figure of his boss gradually disappearing, Song Wen’s head buzzed with pain.

Who can save his boss!!

When Gu Fuchen arrived home, Ruan Yōu was working with a gardener to take care of potted plants in the garden.

Upon hearing that Young Master Gu had returned, she quickly ran out with a potted plant in her arms, crossed the backyard, the lake, and a cobblestone path, and finally arrived at the front door of the mansion.

This home is really large.

Too large!!

Gu Fuchen handed her his handkerchief and said, “Wipe your sweat.”

Ruan Yōu took it and asked breathlessly, “Are there no other means of transportation in the estate besides the car?”

Such as bicycles, cute electric vehicles, or electric balance cars!

Ruan Yōu couldn’t stand the fact that it takes a car to get from one side of the mansion to the other.

Sitting in a car always made her feel like she was “leaving for a faraway place”.

It didn’t feel like home.

Gu Fuchen remembered the highlights he saw of Ruanruan’s filming with Lu Jin, “Then I’ll buy you a horse.”

Ruan Yōu tilted her head : ?

“Are you serious?”

Gu Fuchen nodded, and then added after a pause, “I don’t lie.”

Especially not to his little sister.

Ruan Yōu thought of that scene and shook her head like a drum.

“I just want a bike.”

It’s very comfortable to ride around in the mansion.

Gu Fuchen’s plan to buy a horse failed unfortunately.

His sister wanted a bicycle, of course he had to arrange it.

This was the first time that Ruanruan has taken the initiative to ask for something. Gu Fuchen considered this matter important and intended to choose the gift himself without the help of others.

“Is that a hyacinth in your arms?” Gu Fu Chen had been paying attention to it for a while. When Ruan Yōu ran over just now, she was holding it all the way.

Ruan Yōu nodded heavily, her lips curled with a smile.

Her eyebrows and eyes formed two sweet crescent moons, and her delicate face, as fair as a Barbie doll, was filled with a smile, and her curly eyelashes trembled slightly.

“You have given me many things, and I don’t know what to give you. So I bought this in the afternoon.” She shook the flowerpot in her hand.

Hyacinth symbolizes rebirth, and it is also a flower that she likes very much.

Brother Overlord always gave her money and arranged for her to spend it, which she regarded as a means of maintaining family harmony and avoiding family power struggles. In the afternoon, Gu Fuchen inexplicably bought her two million followers, which had nothing to do with maintaining family harmony no matter how she looked at it.

She didn’t know why he did this. But after thinking about it, perhaps it was just like what the true fan who bought her a million followers said this morning—

The more fans she had, the happier she was.

Regardless of the reason, it was only natural for her to give him a gift.

And so it came to be.

Gu Fuchen hesitated for a moment, and his hand in his pocket trembled slightly.

He could feel the distance that Ruan Yōu had unconsciously displayed since returning, and he also sensed, sensitively, that she had not called him “brother” even once.

Both of them wanted to pretend to be harmonious, so as to cover up the turbulent waves beneath the surface of their harmony.

Gu Fuchen didn’t have any blame or feel that Ruan Yōu had done anything wrong.

He didn’t know what had happened to Ruan Yōu in the past, and he hadn’t investigated. Even when he asked someone to look at the photos in the orphanage, he deliberately asked them not to ask about Ruanruan’s past experiences, and only asked about the photos.

He wanted to know about Ruan Yōu’s life for the past twenty years, but he didn’t want to hear it from a stranger’s mouth.

Gu Fuchen has been waiting for Ruan Yōu to speak up.

If she doesn’t want to say, he and their parents won’t ask either.

He always respects her.

Always puts her first.

This has been rooted in his heart since he lost Yōuyōu twenty years ago.

Gu Fuchen always thought he had to wait a long time before Ruanruan’s world would open a small door to him.

But she gave him a potted plant now.

His first gift from her.

Gu Fuchen’s nose tingled slightly, and a faint moisture was about to emerge in his eyes, but he covered it up well.

“Thank you, I like it very much,” Gu Fuchen said restrainedly.

Ruan Yōu’s hands were clasped behind her back, smiling as usual, and her eyes were shining: “As long as you like it.”

Gu Fuchen dared not look at her again, he quickly walked inside and said, “I’ll put it in the room.”

Ruan Yōu had no doubt about him.

She tilted her head and glanced at him.

She didn’t know if she was overthinking, but she felt that Gu Fuchen’s back seemed a bit flustered.

She didn’t have time to think about it.

Her phone alarm was ringing.

It was now half-past five in the afternoon.

She had set an alarm for herself:

At seven o’clock, she would play a five-person game with Brother Overlord.

On the sixth floor living room, Gu Fuchen suddenly realized about the game when he passed by the study.

He didn’t have time to feel touched or emotional, and his whole being was instantly filled with panic.

Five-person game?

Playing games with Lu Jin, who claims to be someone the Gu family would never be able to get??

Usually, in a five-person game, players communicate through voice chat, and with Lu Jin’s enthusiasm, it was impossible to not recognize Ruan Yōu’s voice.

It was even more impossible for Gu Fuchen to give up the opportunity to get along well with Ruan Yōu by not playing games with her.

At six fifty, Gu Fuchen received two messages.

One was from Ruan Yōu; the other was from Lu Jin.

Fat Cat : [When are we playing the game? I’m ready.]

Lu Jin : [Are we playing with your sister tonight? Shall we start the game with voice chat?]

Gu Fuchen : Ha.

Dream on.

From now on, he would extinguish all the little schemes of this “boyfriend fan” and not give him any chance. Gu Fuchen firmly believed in the principle of “my sister won’t marry or date until she’s forty or just won’t marry at all.”

What good things do men have!

—With determination, he scolded even himself.

He held his phone and went to the seventh floor, knocking on Ruan Yōu’s door.
