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

Chapter 3 – Everything here is very absurd.

It was rainy and hazy.

A black waterproof carpet winds down from the staircase and covers the hotel entrance. At the end of it, three luxury cars are parked, causing passersby to stop and sneak a peek from a distance.

The agent’s brain was as rusty as it could be, with no ability to think whatsoever. He tried to lower his profile and shrank into a corner, stiffening all over, with a hot and painful sensation on his face.

Damn it.

How could Ruan Yōu have such a stunning scene? Did she rent it with money?

But even if she rented it, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in front of the four burly men.

Xia Shi stood aside and politely smiled at Ruan You.

Xia Shi and the four bodyguards were the most at ease in the whole venue.

Inside the hotel, the female celebrity who had just been surrounded by a group of people looked over eagerly with eyes sparkling with excitement of ‘rich lady, hungry, give me money’.

Sensing the increasing number of onlookers, Ruan Yōu couldn’t say much more and had to step onto the black waterproof mat with a brave face.

The black-clad bodyguard respectfully opened the door of the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom for her.

Not to mention the spacious interior of the car, the foot pads were soft and fluffy, like stepping on cotton.

The calf leather on the rear seats felt delicate and smooth to the touch, and sitting on them was comfortable and soft. Every detail in the car was well-crafted, living up to its expensive price tag.

Even the car roof is extremely dreamy.

Looking up, there is a romantic starry sky ceiling.

In early autumn, the sky had already dimmed at six o’clock, and there were no stars outside the window, only darkness.

Xia Shi increased the brightness of the car roof panel, and the starry sky appeared, as if sitting in a galaxy traveling forward. Ruan Yōu could understand why aristocratic families fight to the death for inheritance rights.

Who wouldn’t love this unique indulgence in wealth and luxury!

After enjoying it briefly, Ruan Yōu gradually calmed down.

If she stayed in the wealthy family, even if she didn’t intend to fight for inheritance, she would be pulled into the vortex of inheritance battles by others. When walking by the river, how could one not get their shoes wet? In the novel, her uncle and aunt were not easy to mess with, and their children would also join the drama of infighting.

But in the end, it was ultimately resolved by Gu Fuchen…

The novel depicts Gu Fuchen as decisive and highly valuing power, almost making him the antagonist. Later, the author probably realized that the male protagonist, Cheng Guyuan, could not surpass him in strength, so Gu Fuchen became a background character.

A moment ago, she hung up his call recklessly.

It’s the thriller of the year.

Meanwhile, Gu Fuchen, who was regarded as the “Great Demon King” by his younger sister, sat on his private plane back to China, his brow furrowed and his expression stern.

The food on the wooden table remained untouched.

The atmosphere in the entertainment suite was so heavy that even Assistant Chen beside him didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

The last time President Gu was this serious was a year ago when there was a mistake in cooperation with the international watch group Ruifeng, which almost affected the further expansion of the Bozhan Group of the Gu family in the foreign market, resulting in a loss of several billion yuan.

But in the end, President Gu perfectly resolved all the crises.

In the eyes of Assistant Chen, Gu Fuchen is omnipotent, there is nothing in the world that can defeat him.

Gu Fuchen is now showing an unusual expression, looking troubled.

Assistant Chen felt a bit uneasy.

Amid a hundred kinds of anxieties, he wished to rush out and ask the special assistant who was waiting for news in the solemn conference room.

It was ten minutes ago that President Gu asked his special assistant to wait for news in the conference room.

How many billions of projects could make him so serious that he maintained this state for a full ten minutes?!

Assistant Chen’s whole body was tense, and he was extremely careful even when swallowing his saliva.

He doesn’t dare to think about it!

Outside the small window, a magnificent red glow emerged, turning half of the sky red. The scenery was so beautiful that it was beyond words.

It’s a pity that no one watched it, and no one cared about it. Inside the suite, the only sound is the continuous buzzing of the rotating wings.

On the high-definition television two meters away from Gu Fuchen, there was a video call between him and his friend Fu Jiazhan.

The two heirs of two top wealthy families were waiting quietly for a piece of news.

Realizing this, Assistant Chen’s legs went weak.

F*ck.

Cut straight to the point and say it, no matter how big the storm is.

Please!!

Perhaps the special assistant heard his inner thoughts, one minute later, Special Assistant Song knocked on the door and entered.

Gu Fuchen sat up straight, raised his hand and took the thin thing, which could hardly be called a document, from Special Assistant Song’s hand and looked at it very seriously.

Assistant Chen : !!

He’s about to say it, he’s about to say it.

The moment everyone has been waiting for, filled with nervous tension, has arrived! Just when Assistant Chen thought the special assistant was going to say how many thousands of small targets Gu’s company lost this time—

Special Assistant Song smiled slightly.

“Mr. Gu, Young Miss really likes tonight’s arrangement. She praised twice that the starry sky dome of the Phantom was very beautiful.”

Assistant Chen was stunned.

Isn’t it…

Isn’t it something related to losing money?

“The Rolls-Royce is indeed good, communicate with them and have a custom one made for my sister.”

Gu Fuchen appreciated.

“In the future, replace the family’s commonly used transportation vehicle with this model.”

He should let the household servants also get accustomed to his sister’s taste and preferences.

Oh, he should also change his ride to this one.

Siblings model, he deserves to have it.

Assistant Chen : ??

Last time on a business trip to DB1, Mr. Gu saw dozens of Rolls-Royces on the street and casually remarked that only kids who have just come of age like this kind of car. How come he likes it now?

He thought the company was facing an epic problem like almost going bankrupt, but after all that effort… this???

Assistant Chen, who was petrified, was pushed away by Special Assistant Song.

As they walked into the conference room, Assistant Chen was still unable to digest everything that had just happened. With a sudden rush of thoughts, he turned to ask, “President Gu, he, he must be a siscon, right?”

Song Wen paused his steps and gave him a glance.

Assistant Chen’s heart trembled.

He forgot, the elite don’t like others prying into their gossip the most.

Just as he was about to apologize, Song Wen said seriously, “Assistant Chen, your wording needs to be more precise.”

Assistant Chen : Ah?

“Mr. Gu is not just a siscon, he’s a sister fanatic.”2

In front of Gu Fuchen, siscons are all just beginner-level dilettantes.

Thanks to the ‘demon king-style’ upbringing by Old Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu since childhood, after the young Miss got lost, they brainwashed Gu Fuchen every day, saying how miserable the little sister would be and how he must treat her well once he finds her. They’ve been doing this for over a decade.

For Gu Fuchen to become a sister fanatic, no one in the Gu family is innocent.

Assistant Chen : ….

It seems that some great secret has been discovered.

In the entertainment suite, Gu Fuchen took a sip of red wine with satisfaction.

Gu Fuchen has perfect bone structure, with slightly lowered eyebrows and eyes, narrow and deep-set, high and straight nose bridge, and well-defined facial features. He has a classic domineering president appearance.

The smooth curvature of the jawline and long, dense eyelashes weaken the aloofness of the high and mighty. When the eyes blink lightly, they carry an unintentional softness. At this moment, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, and his tone is somewhat proud.

“Now, only you don’t have a younger sister.”

In the video call, Fu Jiazhan casually added, “Ruan Yōu likes the cold and aloof type.”

Gu Fuchen’s smile faded a bit, “Shut up, you’re just jealous.”

When “cold and aloof” was mentioned, Gu Fuchen’s expression turned cold.

After receiving the news about his younger sister Ruan Yōu this morning, he quickly had someone search for her related news and interviews. He looked at them for five or six hours without blinking. In the end, he came to a conclusion: his sister likes the cold and aloof type.

After the completion of the movie ‘Family’, Ruan You was asked in an interview, “What type of older brother do you like?”

Her answer was, “The kind like in the movie is good.”

And in the movie, it happens to be the cold and aloof CEO type!!

Gu Fuchen felt so bitter in his heart.

Since he was young, he had an outgoing personality, but his father Gu Youqian thought this was not suitable for a person in power. He wouldn’t be able to control the shareholders and top executives, so his father advised him to keep a low profile and speak less, just maintain courtesy.

In order to be able to say more in front of his friends (bushi

In order to demonstrate the low-key nature of the top aristocratic family, Gu Fuchen dislikes appearing in public.

Gradually, there were rumors that he was a cold and aloof domineering president.

It would be great if he was a real domineering president.

Very distressed and worried.jpg

Since his younger sister likes a domineering president-type older brother, he naturally wants to give her the ultimate family experience.

His younger sister is the glory of the Gu family! Whatever it is, she deserves the best.

If he is not a domineering president, then just pretend to be one.

It is also beneficial for him to intimidate those shareholders and top executives.

Acting is no big deal.

If he acts for another two years, the Oscars and Golden Globes will belong to him.

Gu · Unbeatable-in-spoiling-his-younger-sister · Ruan-Yōu’s-number-one brainless-fan · Fuchen3 thinks so.

After abruptly ending the video call with his friend, Gu Fuchen went back to his bedroom to rest, wanting to meet his sister in the best condition the next morning.

The first rule of being an excellent older brother :

The initial impression is very important.

When Ruan You arrived in Mary Sue City, it was already completely dark.

The night was dark, with only dim yellow streetlights on the roadside.

Ruan Yōu leaned against the headrest. After driving for a while, the car slowed down gradually.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xia Shi was wearing Bluetooth earphones, answering a call from the mansion’s butler while talking to Ruan Yōu, “Miss Ruan, we are almost there.”

Ruan Yōu rubbed her eyes sleepily and lazily looked out the car window.

It was still the dim yellow streetlights, and the trees on both sides had noticeably increased. They had been driving for who knows how long, and the car in front turned a corner.

Ruan Yōu is feeling a little better.

It’s unknown if it was intentionally designed, but the row of trees were dense and towering up into the sky, and after turning around the corner, the view suddenly opens up completely.

The lights flickered and gradually became brighter. After passing through the iron gate, the car continued to drive for several hundred meters.

Like fireworks exploding in the distance, countless lights were ignited, and brilliant fireworks4 lit up the night sky.

The grass and trees were finely trimmed. After turning another corner, we entered a dense path of ginkgo trees. The wind blew, and the falling leaves danced, creating a stunning scene like from a movie.

After driving for some distance, they finally saw a continuous and brilliantly lit foreign-style building from afar.

Xia Shi was stunned and speechless as she looked at everything unfolding before her eyes.

Is this where people live?

No.

Is this a place where people can live?

They should have put a small window outside the iron gate and turned it into a scenic spot, providing more dream material for people like her who dream at night!!

As soon as Ruan Yōu got out of the car, a smart and capable young woman opened the door with a smile and said in a clear voice, “Welcome back, Miss. I’m your private butler Wei Wen, and this is the head butler of the Gu Mansion, Song Gushu.”

Song Gushu, who is fifty years old this year, wore a meticulous black suit that added a touch of peculiar wisdom to this old man. With a deep and powerful voice, he said, “Miss.”

After the solemn old man finished speaking this one word, his eyes suddenly became a bit moist and hot: “This is your home.”

Ruan Yōu hesitated for a moment.

It could be seen that the butler had probably missed her a lot in these twenty years, but when he said these four words full of deep affection, Ruan Yōu still couldn’t resonate with it.

She couldn’t believe that the mansion, which could be used to shoot an aristocratic movies, would be her home.

Butler Song : “Mr. and Mrs. Gu are temporarily not at home. Young Master Gu is on his way back and will arrive home at 2 o’clock in the morning. Please rest well tonight. If there is anything unsatisfactory, you can contact me or Wei Wen to solve it.”

Ruan Yōu nodded eagerly like a little chicken pecking at rice.5

Satisfied, satisfied.

The only dissatisfaction is probably:

She’s sure she’ll have to walk a lot to get to her room later.

Just…

Quite tiring.

It’s not suitable for a sports idiot6 like her.

It was getting late, so Wei Wen didn’t take Ruan Yōu to tour the mansion. After a brief handover with Xia Shi, she respectfully led Ruan Yōu back to her room.

After walking through several corridors and taking one elevator transfer, they finally arrived at her room.

Along the way, Ruan You kept her eyes fixed ahead and focused solely on getting to her room.

It’s not that she didn’t want to.

She’s afraid.

As the saying goes, paper drunk and gold dazzled can be deceiving to the eyes.7

Ruan Yōu admits that her personal character is not so noble. If she were to see antique paintings or calligraphy that she had only read about in history books on the walls or in corners, she would really go crazy and sink into money-worshiping life that everyone despises!

After returning to her room, Ruan You tried to suppress her curiosity and quickly washed up before lying down to sleep.

She was very tired.

After awakening her memories of the novel during the day, she expended a lot of mental energy and experienced so many things that exceeded her ordinary life. She was doubly exhausted both mentally and physically and just wanted to lie in bed and get enough sleep.

The bed was so soft that she rolled over several times with her eyes closed before falling asleep in a daze.

When she woke up again, the room was still dark.

There were scattered lights emerging outside the curtains.

The large bed was against the curtains, and Ruan Yōu, with sleepy eyes, got up and lazily pulled back the curtains to take a glance outside.

She sobered up instantly.

Her room was on the seventh floor.

In the distance, a clear blue lake reflected the mansion, and nearby the mansion, there was a row of bamboo swaying in the ripples.

It combined the sense of atmosphere and the beauty of blank space.

The row of Ginkgo trees she saw last night was far away, perfectly separating the two low buildings in the distance, where the building and golden color interweaved, which was a rare bright color in this mansion.

For the rich, buying a large mansion is easy, and it’s also easy to add various miscellaneous projects in the mansion such as sports fields and golf courses.

However, it is difficult to make everything come together in a way that is aesthetically pleasing.

Ruan Yōu forced herself to focus.

Cannot fall into temptation!

She came here just to talk to clarify her future plans with the novel’s “Great Demon King”, who is her real-life older brother.

Ruan Yōu grew up in an orphanage, experienced two failed adoptions, one of which involved being abandoned, and she didn’t feel the “warmth and love” of family relationships in the eyes of others.

She is used to being alone.

She has seen the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, as well as the extravagance of the wealthy families, but ultimately, it seems that living in a small seaside cottage and tending to some plants and flowers is more suitable for her.

Having made up her mind, Ruan You glanced at the clock hanging next to her.

It’s half past ten.

She can really sleep.

However, living a life without any disturbance during sleep is really comfortable.

Retirement life starts from today!

Ruan Yōu was only wearing her pajamas and her luggage wasn’t next to her. She didn’t know where the closet was either. She vaguely remembered that Wei Wen had told her to ring the bell to wake her up when she was awake last night.

Wei Wen came quickly.

Almost as soon as she pressed the button, Wei Wen knocked on the door and came in.

It’s possible that she was waiting for her at the door the whole time she was asleep.

Ruan Yōu felt a bit embarrassed and spoke with a soft voice that sounded like she had just woken up: “Sorry, I woke up too late.”

Wei Wen politely smiled and said, “Miss, you don’t have to apologize to anyone for sleeping in. Your sleep schedule is your own business, and I have no right to interfere.”

The politeness was so great that she even welcomed Ruan You to sleep for another while.

It was completely different from the dramas Ruan Yōu has seen, where the rich and powerful families are fighting each other and the domestic servants are divided into factions.

There was no silly plotlines in which the real daughter of a wealthy family who wandered outside, returned to the family and was mocked by the butler like in the novels that Ruan Yōu has read.

Perhaps this is the expected quality of a butler in the top wealthy family.

Ruan Yōu is very happy.

“Young Master Gu is waiting for you in the dining room. Would you like to freshen up and change your clothes?”

Ruan Yōu nodded.

“Where are the clothes?”

Wei Wen: “Please wait a moment.”

She took out a tablet and tapped it twice, then walked up and handed the tablet over with both hands.

Ruan Yōu took it with a bewildered look on her face.

Three seconds later, across the bed.

On the eight-meter long and four-meter high wall, the light pink curtains shrank to both sides, revealing a giant screen of the same length and width as the wall. The screen displayed a dressing room that was at least several hundred square meters in size.

Various brands of clothes, high-heeled shoes, jewelry, watches, necklaces, hats, and other accessories, altogether took up almost half of the dressing room.

“I’m very sorry, Miss. After understanding your brand and design preferences, we rushed to purchase sixty sets of seasonal ready-to-wear clothes, as well as some haute couture and evening gowns on your left. If you don’t like them, I will change them immediately, and I will also convey your preferences to the designer as soon as possible.”

Wei Wen looked guilty, as if making Ruan Yōu wear ready-to-wear clothes from luxury brands was such a humiliating thing.

“Miss, you can slide on the tablet, click into the display window, enlarge and choose the clothes, shoes, jewelry, glasses, and other accessories you want to wear for today’s outing. If it’s inconvenient, you can also click on the button at the bottom. There are four top designers who have put together some styling options for you.”

Ruan Yōu : ….

Wei Wen must be a loyal fan of Shining Nikki.8

It can also save your styling and change your clothes with just one click.

Outrageous.

But there is also a bit of fondness in the outrageousness. Who wouldn’t love this kind of life!

2 the raw is 妹控 (Mèi kòng) for siscon (sister control or sister complex), and 妹魔 (Mèi mó) for sister fanatic (or could also be translated is sister demon. 妹控 (Mèi kòng) refers to special preference or protective attitude towards a younger sister (could also be younger girl in general), while 妹魔 (Mèi mó) refers to a more obsessive attitude towards one’s younger sister (and sometimes there is potential harm).
