Chapter 99
The living room of the Gu family was magnificent. The sofa was made of pure solid wood, with a coffee table and a rosewood armchair of the same color in the middle. The background was a whole wall of a magnificent rockery stone carving painting.
The living room, dining room, and tea room were separated by screens, and the space was wide and self-contained.
The brocade cushion on the solid wood sofa was very thin. Shen Tiantian sat on it, and his bottom hurt a little. He twisted and turned, unable to sit still.
He looked up at his daddy and the others exchanging pleasantries, his eyes full of dazed curiosity.
An auntie with a kind face came over. She saw Tiantian, a little person mixed in with a group of company bosses in suits and ties, like a husky cub mixed in with a pack of wolves, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Are you Tiantian? You’re so cute. Come to Auntie. I’ll take you to the small garden outside to play.”
Tiantian glanced at the auntie, didn’t recognize her, and shook his head.
“I’ll wait for Daddy to play together.”
Shen Yuanchuan was embarrassed for a moment and helplessly patted Shen Tiantian’s little head.
“How old am I? What’s there to play? This is your Auntie Yueli. Go and play with her.”
Auntie Yueli was a very gentle woman, with a strong flavor of the Jiangnan water town. Her every frown and smile had the style of a lady from a noble family.
No wonder the old-fashioned Old Master Gu had taken a fancy to her to be his daughter-in-law.
Seeing his daddy say so, Tiantian had no choice but to hold out his small hand and take Auntie Yueli’s, and followed her to the back garden.
The back garden was very exquisite, with pavilions and water pavilions, and a shallow pond, which echoed the style of the front, as beautiful as if he had traveled to an ancient garden.
A few children were gathered in a small pavilion, making a lot of noise, not knowing what they were playing.
When the children saw Auntie Yueli come, they all closed their mouths and looked up at her.
Seeing that she was holding a red-lipped, white-toothed little child, and the little boy’s eyes were like black gems, his hair soft and fluffy, and his whole person was like a freshly baked little bread.
One of the children scratched his head and was the first to ask:
“Auntie Yueli, who is he?”
Auntie Yueli introduced them and smiled, telling Tiantian to play well with the children.
“I’ll go and get you some fruit. Everyone, get along well.”
The children here were also visiting relatives. They were all little guests and welcomed Tiantian’s addition.
Only a single-eyelidded little boy with a slightly darker skin tone huffed, looked Shen Tiantian up and down, and his tone was a little aggressive.
“Are you a boy? Why are you so fair?”
The little boy seemed to dislike fair and tender little boys like Tiantian, feeling that they were different from the other boys and had no boyish spirit at all.
“Could it be that when your mother gave birth to you, the nurse at the hospital got your gender wrong?”
Tiantian heard the malicious teasing in the little boy’s tone, frowned, and the corners of his lifted lips also straightened into a line.
“I am a boy! I’m pretty because my mommy is very pretty!”
The little boy named Gu Nanqi was stunned for a moment, being refuted so loudly for the first time.
And the person who refuted him was a weak little boy he had looked down on!
A wave of anger couldn’t help but surge in Gu Nanqi’s chest.
This was the Gu family’s territory. No one could refute him on the Gu family’s territory!
“Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?”
Gu Nanqi looked at Shen Tiantian’s short and stout stature, gave Shen Tiantian a chance, and as long as he lowered his head and apologized, he wouldn’t argue with him.
But Shen Tiantian was not easy to bully.
His little tyrant status as a Long Tiantian cub was unshakable!
“I don’t know who you are! But Mommy said that impolite children are all little dog shits!”
Shen Tiantian was fair and tender, and his speech still had a slight nasal tone, but his momentum and posture were very strong.
Compared to a spoiled brat like Gu Nanqi, he was not inferior at all.
“You’re a little dog shit!” Shen Tiantian stuck his tongue out at him.
Gu Nanqi was about to be angered to death by this child!
He gritted his teeth, making a creaking sound, and in a fit of anger, he reached out and pushed Shen Tiantian.
Shen Tiantian didn’t stand firm, sat on the ground with a plop, and his head was a little dazed from the fall.
Before he could react, he looked up and saw Gu Nanqi’s triumphant face.
Tiantian patted the dust from his bottom, let out a roar, and like a little elephant, he pounced on Gu Nanqi, pressed him to the ground, and pounded his stomach with his small fists.
“How dare you bully me! I, Long Tiantian, am not easy to bully!”
If reasoning doesn’t work, it’s okay. Tiantian still has his casserole-sized little iron fists that can defeat the enemy!
The other children around, seeing the two of them fighting, were directly stunned.
Gu Nanqi was half a head taller than Shen Tiantian, but he was pressed to the ground and was forced to take several hits.
His nose and eyes were all bruised, but he still held his neck high, wanting to fight back fiercely.
Seeing that the children were making a big fuss, some of them went forward to break up the fight, while the others ran to the front to find the adults in a hurry.
In the front hall, Shen Yuanchuan and the other bosses were discussing the current business situation.
Old Master Gu’s son was smiling and accompanying them on the side.
Just as everyone was in a heated discussion, a clear and panicked voice suddenly came from outside.
“It’s bad. Tiantian and Gu Nanqi are fighting!”
Shen Yuanchuan’s brow twitched. He suddenly stood up and walked two steps out, following the voice.
“What’s going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting?”
The child was so anxious he was about to cry. He pointed to the water pavilion in the back garden with a trembling finger and explained with a stutter:
“It’s just… Gu Nanqi said that Tiantian doesn’t look like a boy, and then the two of them inexplicably started fighting.”
Gu Nanqi’s father followed behind Shen Yuanchuan. Hearing this, his brows furrowed deeply.
The group of them quickly walked to the water pavilion and saw two solid little balls holding each other’s hair, shouting that they were going to beat each other black and blue.
Shen Yuanchuan took a sharp breath and quickly went forward to separate the two little brats.
“Stop fighting.”
Shen Yuanchuan lifted Shen Tiantian, scanned him up and down, and seeing that only his chin was a little swollen and there was no blood on his body, his heart finally fell back into his stomach.
On the other hand, Gu Nanqi’s appearance was a little miserable.
His two eyes were beaten into panda eyes by Shen Tiantian, his nose was also scraped, and his left cheek was also a little swollen. His whole person was clenching his fists, so angry he was about to die.
Gu Nanqi’s father, however, directly slapped his son’s head and gritted his teeth.
“Aren’t you ashamed? He’s a guest. It’s one thing not to entertain him well, but you even fought with Tiantian. The key is that you even lost the fight!”
Gu Nanqi’s father was so angry that he gave Gu Nanqi another heavy kick.
“I’m so ashamed for you.”
Gu Nanqi was beaten by Shen Tiantian, and now he was beaten by his father. The frustration immediately welled up and turned into a series of tears.
“You’re hitting me, wuwu. I’m going to tell Grandpa!”
Shen Tiantian didn’t miss any opportunity to laugh at his enemy. He leaned in and stared at him with his head tilted.
“You’re a little dog shit. You can’t win a fight, and you’re crying and looking for your grandpa!”
A little girl let out a chuckle and covered her mouth.
Being said this, Gu Nanqi’s mentality completely exploded. He cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, and he couldn’t stop.
“Wuwu, you’re all bad guys!”
With such a fuss, and Gu Nanqi being so miserable, the adults couldn’t say anything else.
Shen Yuanchuan held back his laughter, thinking that this kid, Shen Tiantian, was indeed a little tyrant who was always jumping up and down, and he really didn’t suffer any losses.
Gu Nanqi’s father was even more embarrassed. He glared at his son and said with an apologetic smile:
“Everyone, please don’t mind. My son has been spoiled by his grandfather, and his temper is very bad. I apologize to everyone here.”
The people who had come today were all relatively important business partners. Gu Nanqi’s father couldn’t be bothered with his son for a moment. He glared at him, told him to reflect on himself, and then led the other guests to the front hall for tea.
The children were also taken away by their parents, leaving only Gu Nanqi alone, sobbing and crying.
After a while, Shen Tiantian returned alone.
Gu Nanqi was shedding tears unyieldingly and even had to pretend to be fierce.
“What are you doing back? Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?”
Tiantian didn’t think so. He just touched his pocket, his little expression very serious.
“My red envelope is gone.”
Gu Nanqi’s fur instantly stood on end. His tears stopped, and he puffed out his cheeks and said angrily:
“It’s one thing to hit me, but you’re also trying to frame me for stealing your red envelope?”
As expected, a fair and tender little child like Shen Tiantian has as many schemes as his cousin. When he cries, the parents will definitely stand on his side!
At that time, he would become a bad child who couldn’t defend himself!
Gu Nanqi had suffered a lot and hated this kind of fair-skinned little brat who only knew how to cry.
But Shen Tiantian shook his head, lay on the ground with his bottom in the air, and looked for his red envelope everywhere.
“You didn’t steal it. You were beaten so badly by me. You didn’t have time to steal my red envelope.”
Gu Nanqi was stunned for a moment.
He didn’t know what expression to make for a moment. He wanted to cry and laugh, and he was very awkward. After a long while, he said awkwardly:
“You… you actually believe me?”
Didn’t the two of them just fight?
Shen Tiantian had looked around for a long time but couldn’t find the small red envelope. He let out a sad sigh, sat on the wooden bench on the side, his eyes full of sorrow.
“This is the first small red envelope I’ve gotten.”
It was given to him by Auntie Yueli, the first small red envelope he had received on his New Year’s visit to someone else’s house today.
Gu Nanqi wiped his tears. He had cried enough, and his brain was slowly starting to work again.
He found that Shen Tiantian was a little different from the children he knew.
Although he was also delicate and fair, he wouldn’t lie and frame him.
Gu Nanqi said in a muffled voice, “That… don’t be sad. I can help you look for it.”
Shen Tiantian was big-hearted and fat. He didn’t care at all that he had just fought with Gu Nanqi. He nodded and started to look for his small red envelope again.
The two of them looked for a long time, and in the end, it was Gu Nanqi’s sharp eyes that saw the small red envelope on the surface of the pond.
“Shen Tiantian, your red envelope fell into the pond!”
