The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 101

Chapter 101

During lunch, the adults were toasting each other, their faces red from drinking.

The children, with their small stomachs, ate quickly. By now, most of them were full and had started to mess around in groups of two or three.

The children were vaguely led by Gu Nanqi. On the one hand, he looked like he could fight, and his temper was bad, so the children didn’t dare to provoke him. On the other hand, the Gu family was richer than their families.

Old Master Gu was indeed a person who had started from scratch with Shen Tiantian’s grandfather. The Gu family had reached its current state entirely because of his precise and sharp vision.

If it weren’t for Shen Yuanchuan’s flexible business mind, who had later surpassed them, the Shen family probably wouldn’t be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gu family even now.

The children were influenced by the adults and naturally fawned over Gu Nanqi.

If it weren’t for Shen Tiantian’s interference and fighting with Gu Nanqi, Gu Nanqi would probably be on cloud nine today.

The children were chattering noisily, arguing about where to play.

“Let’s go to the back garden. We can play hide-and-seek in the pavilion!”

“So boring! Let’s go to Young Master Gu’s game room on the second floor! There are a lot of rare games there!”

“How about watching a movie? Gu Nanqi, doesn’t your family have a screening room?”

Gu Nanqi waved his hand, not wanting to listen to these children’s chirping, which was giving him a headache.

His swollen and even smaller eyelids blinked, and a hint of light could be vaguely seen in his small eyes.

“Tiantian, where do you want to play?” Gu Nanqi didn’t listen to anyone and instead asked for Shen Tiantian’s opinion.

Tiantian was eating seriously. In addition, he was the youngest, so at this moment, he was still obediently eating the hot bun in his hand, with the fresh and delicious shredded pork.

After finishing the last bite of the bun, Tiantian wiped his mouth, thought for a moment, and said:

“I’m not familiar with your house. You can decide for yourself, Gu Xiaoqi.”

He still couldn’t change his habit of giving people strange names.

But Gu Nanqi didn’t mind at all. He felt that this was because Tiantian had a good relationship with him. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he give others nicknames?

“In that case, let’s go to the bridge in the front yard. The terrain there is complicated, and we can play chase and guerrilla warfare!”

Gu Nanqi patted his chest, very confident.

“Tiantian, you follow me. The two of us will be the generals.”

The group of children were happy to have something to play with and didn’t care what they were playing. With Gu Nanqi’s call, they scattered and ran out like little chicks.

The small bridge and flowing water in the front yard had an ancient and elegant style. A group of children shuttled through it, and their laughter and noise could be heard from far away.

Shen Tiantian was chased by another child for a long time. Seeing that he was about to be caught by the “enemy,” he excitedly bared his little rice-like teeth, and the hair on his forehead flew back from running.

“Ahhh!”

He shouted excitedly twice, and just barely ran down from the bridge, not being caught by the “enemy” child.

Gu Nanqi was also under the bridge. His swollen face was even more red and swollen from the intense running, like a red steamed bun.

But he didn’t care about his image. He wiped his sweat and said:

“Let’s rest for a while, formulate a strategy, and then we’ll break through the enemy’s camp in one fell swoop!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin and weak voice came from behind.

“Cousin, what are you playing?”

Gu Nanqi’s cousin, Bai Qiu, came over. He was about the same age as Shen Tiantian, but his eyes were slightly smaller, and his lips were a little pale.

Bai Qiu’s eyes darted around. He looked at the well-developed Gu Nanqi, then at the child next to him.

When his gaze fell on Shen Tiantian, Bai Qiu was obviously stunned.

Perhaps he hadn’t expected that there was a child here who was even more beautiful than him.

The child’s eyes were dark and bright, his lips were a light pink, his little face was flushed, and his hair was still a little wet and stuck to his cheeks.

In comparison, although Bai Qiu was also good-looking, he was obviously not as exquisite and beautiful as the other party.

Bai Qiu was used to being superior in looks to other ugly children. When he suddenly saw Shen Tiantian, his alarm bells went off.

He asked in his usual thin and weak voice:

“Cousin, are these new little friends? What are you playing? Can you take me with you?”

Gu Nanqi was so annoyed with this weak-willed little brother of his, who would cry at the slightest disagreement.

But Bai Qiu was his uncle’s little son. The Bai family usually doted on him very much, and in addition, he was particularly good at pretending. Every time he confronted Bai Qiu, it was always Gu Nanqi who suffered.

It was either because he had broken a vase and scared his little brother, or because he had accidentally bumped into his little brother while fighting. Bai Qiu would always put on a sensible look and ask Auntie Yueli not to hit his cousin.

But at this time, his mother and father would become even more disappointed, and his father would even hit Gu Nanqi’s leg hard with a stick.

It had made Gu Nanqi’s temper more and more irritable. Now, he would get angry at the sight of a fair and tender little child.

“No! We’re playing well on our own. Why should we take you?”

Gu Nanqi spoke very aggressively, as if he were breathing fire from his nostrils.

Bai Qiu on the other side shrank back, as if he were extremely scared, and his eye sockets immediately turned red.

“Uncle Gu, cousin didn’t mean to be fierce to me. It’s my fault, wuwu.”

Gu Nanqi’s father and a few adults had appeared behind Gu Nanqi at some point. His face was sullen as he looked at this son who only caused trouble for him.

Gu Nanqi’s back stiffened, as if he had foreseen something, and he looked back.

Sure enough, he saw his furious father.

Gu Nanqi’s father roared:

“Gu Nanqi, how are you talking to your little brother?”

Gu Nanqi’s anger was also roared out, and his swollen face even looked a little ferocious for a moment as he roared back.

“I’m not playing with him! He’s just a liar. I hate him, and I hate you too!”

After he said this, Gu Nanqi’s father felt that he had lost all his face in front of a bunch of old friends.

He was about to find a stick to beat his son when Shen Tiantian, on the side, frowned, put his hands on his hips, and blocked him.

“Uncle Gu, you’re too fierce. Gu Nanqi just doesn’t want to play with a child he doesn’t like. What’s wrong with that?”

Gu Nanqi’s father was blocked by a little person, and the other party was a delicate and beautiful child like Bai Qiu.

But Shen Tiantian was not weak at all. Not only had he beaten his son until he cried for his father and mother, but at this moment, when the other children were all scared, he dared to directly block him.

“What do you mean?”

Gu Nanqi’s father had a good impression of this kind of child, commonly known as a looks-supremacist, and his furious temper also subsided a little.

Tiantian was small, but he spoke very clearly and logically.

“Gu Nanqi doesn’t want to play with this little brother. Children also have their own preferences, just like Uncle Gu, you also have friends you like, right? It’s normal not to play with children you dislike.”

Gu Nanqi’s father agreed with this. “Then why did Gu Nanqi scold his little brother until he cried?”

Tiantian looked up at Bai Qiu and pouted.

“Uncle Gu, the little brother is fake crying. He’s not even shedding any tears.”

Bai Qiu, who was pretending to cry, was suddenly stunned. He looked up and looked at Shen Tiantian in a daze.

Shen Tiantian was not a child actor for nothing. He immediately performed a scene.

“Real crying should be like this.”

He cried as soon as he said it. Large tears fell with a plop, his little shoulders heaved, and he sobbed with grievance, his words slurred.

Compared to Bai Qiu, who only had red eye sockets, the effect was simply crushing.

Gu Nanqi’s father’s mouth was so wide open in surprise that he was stunned for a long time before he let out a foolish “ah.”

He felt like a fool who had been fooled by a little brat.

The adults present were also smart. They quickly figured it out and looked at Bai Qiu’s mother, who had followed a step later, with a meaningful expression.

The means by which Bai Qiu’s mother had married into the Bai family were not very honorable.

It was said that she had cried until her eyes were almost blind before she was welcomed into the Bai family’s door by the soft-hearted Old Mrs. Bai.

Now she was teaching this trick to her little child to deal with Gu Nanqi. It was disgusting enough.

Bai Qiu was still a child after all. His usual trick, which had always worked, was exposed today, and he was so flustered that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.

His face was as red as blood, and he kept hiding behind his mother.

Bai Qiu’s mother’s face was also flushed. The ridicule and mocking gazes of the people in front of her were like a needle, and her heart and lungs were hurting.

She hurriedly pulled Bai Qiu and said with an awkward smile:

“It’s just children playing. It’s not a big deal. Nanqi and Xiaoqiu don’t get along. Children, they make a big fuss over a small thing. Xiaoqiu really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Although she said that, Auntie Yueli, who had come out a step later, had already seen it clearly.

Her gaze also instantly turned cold.

The relationships in a wealthy family were very complicated, and the entanglements and grievances were completely incomprehensible.

But of all things, she shouldn’t have used her own son as a pawn!

The subsequent events were not something that children could inquire about. They only knew that Bai Qiu and his mother had left the Gu family, and Gu Nanqi had won a great victory.

This was the first time Gu Nanqi had confronted his cousin. Not only was he not scolded or beaten by his father, but he had also driven his cousin out of the Gu family!

It was so satisfying!

Gu Nanqi was so impressed with Shen Tiantian that his desire to become sworn brothers was particularly strong.

But it was getting late, and Tiantian had to go home with his daddy.

Gu Nanqi was very reluctant to part. He ran all the way to the outside.

“Tiantian, are you coming to my house to play again tomorrow?” he shouted.

Tiantian shook his head and held his daddy’s small hand as he walked out.

“No, I’m going to other uncles’ houses for New Year’s greetings tomorrow.”

Shen Yuanchuan had many business partners, and New Year’s greetings were a good opportunity to strengthen relationships.

Shen Tiantian, this little clever ghost, was still hoping to make a lot of money from New Year’s greetings. How could he come to the Gu family again?

As soon as Gu Nanqi heard this, he felt that the sky had darkened, and his swollen, squinted eyes were throbbing with pain.

“Then you have to come to my house to play again when you have a chance!”

Gu Nanqi eagerly shouted at Shen Tiantian twice. He turned his head and saw his father’s hesitant face.

“What?” Gu Nanqi said in a bad mood.

This son seems to be a fool, Gu Nanqi’s father thought.

Shen Tiantian beat you up like this, and you’re still hoping for him to come?

But Gu Nanqi didn’t care. The corners of his mouth were twitching in pain, but he still felt that this brother, Shen Tiantian, was very loyal!

Even his hitting hurts more than other children!

The night was heavy. When Shen Tiantian returned to the Shen family, he took out the half-dried red envelope from his pocket.

Inside was a stack of red bills, wet and wrinkled.

Shen Tiantian ran to the balcony and laid out the banknotes one by one to dry in the moonlight.
