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

Chapter 19 – Cute Brother Overlord

Ruan Yōu walks with her head held high, her chest puffed out, exuding an arrogant air of “Anyone who looks down on my several hundred yuan bicycle will face my fierce retaliation.”

The defense of the ordinary bicycles battle is now underway!!

Ruan Yōu charges ahead!

“A billion?”

“Yes!”

Gu Fuchen thinks deeply and probably knows what’s going on. He lowers his head and looks at his sister, who is more annoyed than a pufferfish and more arrogant than a panda. He silently chuckles and asks the housekeeper to escort the designer out. Then he turns to Ruan Yōu and says, “Okay. I’ll change my clothes and come over.”

Ruan Yōu nodded seriously, her mind racing with cool scenes of striking back against the evil wealthy people.

It’s time to make them taste the pain that money can’t buy!

Ruan Yōu’s current state of mind was completely brought about by her recent life in the wealthy family.

Every day after returning home, she was very happy, but she encountered wicked things that refreshed her views on money every day. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still numb from the impact of money on her heart. What was even more infuriating was that everyone else seemed to accept it just fine.

Even the private butler Wei Wen could calmly say, “You only spend one hundred million today.”

Ruan Yōu didn’t understand. She spent so much money, why did they still use “only” to describe her expenditures?

She felt wronged, weak, and helpless.

Who did they look down upon?

After encountering it many times, it’s inevitable to develop a desire to fight back.

Brother Overlord taught her for so long, it’s time for her to teach him a lesson.

Before leaving, Gu Fuchen suddenly had a video conference. It seemed that there was a problem with their business in Country Y, and he needed her to wait for half an hour.

Ruan Yōu didn’t think much of it, instead she felt a little sympathy.

Even the successor to the family business has to work 996. Poor overlord.

Handing her coat to Wei Wen, Ruan Yōu strolls around on the first floor.

Gu Fuchen is accustomed to drinking black coffee while working, which is always a complicated matter for the housekeeper. When the head butler walked towards her with a tray, Ruan Yōu was stunned for a moment.

The head butler was still immaculately dressed, and the few white hairs added a touch of age to him. His smile was kind, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened the sense of intimacy.

“Miss, would you like to join me in delivering coffee to Young Master Gu?”

Head Butler Song had a lot to handle on a daily basis. He oversaw several private butlers who managed the employers’ needs, as well as the operation of the mansion.

Although she had not seen him often, Ruan Yōu had a deep impression of him.

She remembered his tearful smile when they first met. In recent days, when they coincidentally bumped into each other, the head butler would smile at her and the smile was not purely respectful or polite. It had emotions but was not excessive, and he showed his professionalism perfectly.

Ruan Yōu had a good impression of him.

When she met his kind eyes, her initial thought of rejecting the request vanished.

As Ruan Yōu reached out to take the tray, the head butler smiled and said, “I’ll take it to the study’s door for you.”

This meant that her only task was to deliver the coffee from the study’s door to Brother Overlord’s desk.

The purpose of this task was self-evident.

Thinking about it carefully, the butler’s job was not easy. Not only did he have to handle mansion affairs, but he also had to manage the relationship between the employers.

If it were her, she would have long been watching the top wealthy family’s cold and indifferent way of getting along with a watching-gossip mentality. She wouldn’t have had this kind of concern.

Ruan Yōu didn’t refuse.

She didn’t want her past experiences to hold her back, but breaking free from the past is a difficult thing, and she had to take it step by step.

Fortunately, no one here is pressuring her.

There is no emotional blackmail, no forcing children to be filial with love in old-fashioned families, just the thought of it makes Ruan Yōu’s blood boil with anger.

Gu Fuchen lives on the sixth floor.

As they entered the elevator, the butler casually spoke up, “Before you came back, Young Master Gu didn’t live here.”

This was the first time Ruan Yōu had heard of this.

“Then where did he live?”

“For the convenience of going to the company, Young Master Gu lived in a villa area near Bozhan. Mr. and Mrs. Gu lived there, and when Young Master Gu has free time during the holidays, he stays here.”

Gu Fuchen’s documents and necessary items were still in the villa, and Gu Fuchen asked someone to bring them back on the day Ruan Yōu returned home.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor.

This was the first time Ruan Yōu had been to the sixth floor.

It was completely different from the minimalist design she imagined than an overlord should have.

The entire floor was designed in warm tones, giving it a cozy feel. On the left side of the living room wall was a light blue background panel, with a layer of off-white semi-opaque curtains covering the deep blue color above, revealing other colors faintly underneath.

The glass door was open, and a gust of wind from the balcony blew a small piece of the curtain.

Ruan Yōu unconsciously scanned the room.

Neatly arranged under the light blue background panel were many crayon drawings, crooked and twisted.

With meticulous and orderly hanging, the crayon drawings looked even more crooked.

It was obvious that they were drawn by three or four-year-old kindergarten kids.

“Miss, would you like to take a look?”

Ruan Yōu turned back with a faint smile, “No need.”

That should be the “works” of Gu Fuchen when he was a child.

When Ruan Yōu was in the orphanage, she also drew these kinds of pictures.

Pencil drawings of families holding hands, some were requested, and some were voluntary.

The head butler stopped her at the door of the study, “I’ll go down and prepare the car for you first.”

Ruan Yōu : “A simple business car will do.”

The head butler nodded with a smile, knocked lightly on the study door, and pressed the doorbell, “Young Master Gu, your coffee is here.”

Each of the living rooms, bedrooms, studies, and cloakrooms on each floor of the mansion was large, so a video doorbell was installed inside. After all, no one wants to shout loudly, “Your coffee is here!”

It’s very inelegant, and the thought of that scene makes her unable to help but laugh.

Ruan Yōu’s thoughts were wandering in the sky.

The voice that sounded in her ears interrupted her wandering thoughts.

“Click.”

The door opened automatically.

“Come in.”

The lazy and casual voice sounded like a sigh from a dog basking in the sun.

Ruan Yōu’s eyes lifted slightly, subconsciously scanning towards the doorbell.

This was completely different from the indifferent tone she usually heard.

And she thought that Brother Overlord would use an automatic door-opening method to silently express his meaning. After all, the overlord was concise when he could be, and silent when he could be.

The butler handed the tray to Ruan Yōu and left.

The door opened a crack.

Ruan Yōu poked her head in and looked inside.

The study was covered with a thick dark blue woolen blanket, and it looked very comfortable and plush.

On the left side of the room was a beige wrought-iron shoe rack, with several pairs of disposable slippers neatly placed on top.

There was also a wrought-iron small table on one side of the shoe rack, probably used specifically for servants to put things on.

Ruan Yōu lowered her head and shook the woolen slippers on her feet, sighing softly.

Unexpectedly, there are so many rules just to enter a study.

As expected, the overlord’s lifestyle is much more refined than hers.

Ruan Yōu changed into the disposable slippers as quietly as possible, stepping on the plush carpet which was soft and warm. Gu Fuchen’s study was large, and one had to go around a small corner to see the main hall.

This design was probably the overall concept when designing the interior of the estate. Upon entering, visitors should not be able to see the overall layout of the room at a glance, leaving a “mysterious” and aesthetic impression.

The study was primarily decorated in warm tones, which once again refreshed Ruan Yōu’s understanding of the term “overlord”.

Ruan Yōu withdrew her gaze and walked lightly with the tray.

The plush carpet absorbed all the noise, making no sound under her feet.

Gu Fuchen casually lay down on the long sofa in front of the desk, his head resting on a cat pillow with a head tilted and eyes widened, looking forward. Because he was leaning, his head unconsciously tilted down, and the angle was remarkably consistent with the cat pillow with a tilted head, the cat and the person both earnestly tilted their heads, looking cute and a little silly.

Gu Fuchen stared at his tablet, sliding up and down on the screen with his well-defined fingers, focusing all his attention on it. When he noticed someone had come, he casually said, “Put it on the table.”

Without lifting his eyelids, he focused on checking the report sent from Country Y.

Ruan Yōu placed the tray on the beige coffee table with some clumsiness, her movements slow and cautious to avoid spilling the coffee.

After finally managing to bring it over, she shifted the cup closer to Gu Fuchen’s side, worried that he might have trouble reaching it.

Ruan Yōu’s fair and slender fingers contrasted sharply with the dark ear-hanging coffee cup, their round and smooth nail beds radiating a faint glow. When Gu Fuchen noticed her hand, his own movements paused.

Following the direction of the coffee cup and the fingers, his gaze moved little by little—

His gaze met Ruan Yōu’s clear and sincere eyes. The air between them was filled with an awkward and peculiar tension.

After three seconds, Gu Fuchen abruptly put down his tablet and sat up straight, throwing the pillow behind him without appearing to care. He then adjusted his suit and resumed his usual overlord demeanor.

However, he was very flustered inside.

Ruan Yōu suppressed a laugh and pretended not to notice, picking up the tray. “I’ll leave now.”

Gu Fuchen calmly nodded his head with an air of grace and dignity, bending down to pick up the coffee cup with ease. He exuded an extraordinary aura of an overlord from head to toe. However, in the eyes of Ruan Yōu, this action seemed like a brainwashing package being displayed desperately in front of her, as if he was about to emphasize “I am an overlord, I am an overlord, I really am an overlord” with his movements.

The calmer and more indifferent he appeared, the more it highlighted his urgency at that moment.

It was quite adorable!

Ruan Yōu left the study with slow steps. As soon as her figure disappeared around the corner, Gu Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the “overlord” prop coffee cup back on the coffee table when a head suddenly popped out from around the corner.

Gu Fuchen immediately tensed up, gripping the coffee cup tightly and pretending nothing was wrong.

Ruan Yōu leaned against the wall with both hands, and with a smile on her face, she said, “You’re not wearing slippers, oh~”

Gu Fuchen’s face turned red, and he quickly retracted his foot, which was not wearing slippers, and hid it under the tassel cushion on the edge of the sofa as if he was caught red-handed.

!

How could an overlord not wear slippers?!

Gu Fuchen thought it was the head housekeeper who came in and was a little too relaxed. Now he regretted it deeply.

But…

It seemed like his little sister didn’t mind?

Remembering the playful smile Ruan Yōu gave him before she left, Gu Fuchen was confused.

Did his little sister think he was a joke, or did she just want to smile?

Before going downstairs, Gu Fuchen sent a text message to Fu Jiazhan seeking comfort in a very complicated way:

G : [My little sister might not like me anymore.]

Fu Jiazhan : [Did she ever like you?]

G : [Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it. You wouldn’t understand.]

Fu Jiazhan : [I didn’t even ask?]

G : [Do you have any language habits or actions that can highlight the overlord’s demeanor?]

Fu Jiazhan : [What do you want to do]

G : [I remember you have a habit of tying a tie? Give it to me, and you won’t use it anymore in the future.]

Fu Jiazhan : [ ? ]

If Lu Jin were here, he would definitely send a bunch of emojis and scream in a voice message:

“How could the overlord’s habit is robbing people? Gu Chenchen, wake up!!”

It’s more troublesome to deal with someone like Gu Chenchen than to deal with the major shareholders.

Fu Jiazhan took a deep breath, hoping to make Gu Chenchen more rational, but the other party clearly didn’t give him the opportunity.

G : [I’ve received your consent, goodbye.]

Fu Jiazhan : ……

If Gu Chenchen had just looked at his response, their communication wouldn’t have been so smooth.

—Today is also a day to block annoying friends.
