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

Chapter 20 – Chenchen and Chenchen’s Sister

Half an hour later, Ruan Yōu finally met the unconventional, cute, and aloof Brother Overlord Gu Fuchen.

In order to maintain her older brother’s fragile self-esteem, she gave him face and didn’t bring up the incident in his study.

She didn’t like talking much, and Gu Fuchen remained silent, calmly getting into the car to buy bicycles.

It would have been better if he didn’t get so nervous and fumble with his hands and feet when he saw her for the first time.

The butler had prepared a Bentley, the standard business car for the overlord.

Gu Fuchen didn’t let anyone else drive, and sat in the driver’s seat himself.

After Ruan Yōu fastened her seatbelt, she opened the navigation and mysteriously instructed him by tapping her phone screen: “Follow the navigation.”

“Okay.”

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the parking lot.

It was already early winter and the weather had cooled down.

Ruan Yōu was wearing a knit dress with embroidered knot collar and an umbrella-shaped, wide-cut seam decorative border with diamond pattern knit skirt.

When she got out of the car, Ruan Yōu picked up a waist-tied coat in the same color as her dress. The short shawl-style collar made her look cute and charming, yet still elegant and noble, like a noble young lady from a prestigious academy.

She didn’t wear earrings or a necklace, keeping her accessories simple. The only accessory she had was a houndstooth check diagonal soft weave single-shoulder bag.

Walking on the street, she still attracted a lot of attention.

Ruan Yōu didn’t want to wear a mask, so she picked a wide-brimmed hat and grabbed a big scarf to cover most of her face. Her face was buried in the scarf, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes that rolled around.

“Let’s go, we’re going to ride a billion-yuan car!”

To strike a blow against the filthy rich, Ruan Yōu emphasized the two words “billion-yuan” deliberately.

Gu Fuchen was surprised and flattered.

“Is there one here?”

Ruan Yōu was a little proud. “Of course.”

It was time to shock her Brother Overlord and leave him speechless!

The “billion-yuan” transportation tool that Ruan Yōu brought Gu Fuchen to ride in was actually—

the subway.

Yes.

It was more expensive and faster than a sports car!

When they went down the escalator and entered the subway station, Ruan Yōu turned around and looked at Gu Fuchen’s expression.

It was very calm.

Well.

Even if the cute Brother Overlord was not aloof, he still had a brain and could figure out the correct answer with a little analysis.

“Have you ever ridden this?”

Gu Fuchen observed the underground structure and shook his head obediently when asked.

Ruan Yōu dragged him to the subway map and pointed to the Beijing North Station on Line 3. “We are going there now.”

Gu Fuchen pursed his lips and didn’t react for a while.

“Why are we going there?”

Ruan Yōu : ?

You don’t know what I came out for, so why did you come with me?

Ruan Yōu had mixed feelings. How could the capable and intelligent overlord be like this, just like this!

“Buy a bicycle,” she said dryly, leaving to buy subway coins.

It was her brother’s first time riding the subway, so she let him feel the round subway coin.

“Subway tickets are easy to buy,” Ruan Yōu explained to Gu Fu Chen as she operated the automatic ticket machine. “First, figure out which subway line you want to take, then select the station and scan the code to pay.”

Gu Fu Chen pointed to the card at the top of the ticket machine and asked, “Is this the subway transit card?”

While speaking, Ruan Yōu felt the people next to her glancing over, feeling embarrassed. She felt like a poor girl with a useless brother who couldn’t even differentiate between grains.

But she still nodded seriously, “Yes. Different versions of public transit cards are released every so often. The ones you’re looking at are the commemorative cards for this year.”

“Buy me one.”

After a pause, Gu Fuchen said again, “But use your own money.”

Ruan Yōu was puzzled and changed to another bank card for payment. She handed the purchased subway card to him and asked curiously, “Are you going to take the subway in the future?”

“No.”
“Souvenir.”

Ruan Yōu looked at him again.

She didn’t expect her brother to be someone who values ceremonial occasions.

There weren’t many people on the subway when they got on, and few people got on at this station.

Ruan Yōu found a seat and sat down with Gu Fuchen. The subway quickly moved forward, and her figure was reflected in the black glass window.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Ruan Yōu buried her head in her scarf and pulled down her hat, afraid of being seen.

It’s not convenient to go out when you’re a celebrity.

Two young men across from them hesitated, holding their phones, and had been pushing and shoving each other to come closer since Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen sat down two minutes ago. They had unstoppable smiles on their faces.

There’s nothing they could do, this big sister was too good-looking!

The attitude of wanting to get WeChat was obvious.

Gu Fuchen was very unhappy.

Don’t they have sisters? Why do they keep looking at his sister!

After all, Gu Fuchen had been in the business circle for several years. Even if he was dressed warmly today, the aura of displeasure emanating from his body was enough to intimidate them.

When the two young men met Gu Fuchen’s gaze, their hands shook.

“Don’t look at my sister.”

In the fast-moving subway, Gu Fu Chen’s threatening voice resounded loudly.

The two young men trembled in their hearts, exchanged glances, and ran away quickly, as if they were parkouring in the subway.

Anyone who can say such things in this situation is undoubtedly a siscon. If they don’t run now, are they waiting for the siscon to grab their collars and settle accounts with them? When the siscon becomes fierce, not only passersby, but even the sister’s boyfriend will not be spared from being beaten up.

Ruan Yōu tried to cover her cheeks with the scarf, her eyes rolled twice, and when she confirmed that there was no one else in the carriage except for them, she lowered her hat and took off the scarf, smiling happily and proudly.

Many years ago, when her neighbor tried to steal her favorite doll but failed, the neighbor asked her own brother to climb over the wall and take the doll away. At that time, she wished she had a brother who could beat up the neighbor’s brother.

She did have an older brother at home, but their relationship was not good.

Although her elder brother was extremely cold and had the demeanor of an overlord, and he might be the villain in the plot, who regarded power and influence as crucial, but he would stand up for her and become embarrassed and nervous when leaning against the tilted cat-shaped pillow, revealing a different side from that of an overlord. Despite his coldness, he was cute.

He is not a character described in the thin paper of the novel; he is a flesh-and-blood person.

Ruan Yōu’s eyes sparkled. “Thank you.”

Gu Fuchen placed his hands on his knees and replied seriously, “You’re welcome.”

This time, their sibling relationship had made significant progress, he was sure!

It was not far from her calling him “brother”!

After arriving at Beijing North Station, they went straight to the basement of the department store. It was a feast for foodies with a wide variety of snacks, skewers, rice noodles, and clay pot rice. Many people were gathered at the entrance.

Gu Fuchen rarely went shopping and only went straight to his destination, so he had never lingered on the basement floor before.

In the basement floor, people come and go, holding various snacks in their hands, some sit directly in the stores. After thinking for a moment, Gu Fuchen asked, “Egg waffles?”

Ruan Yōu’s eyes and brows twitched, her voice filled with a little pride, “The egg waffles here have a strong artificial sweetener taste, they are definitely not delicious. The ones sold outside our school are much more flavorful and delicious, and…”

She suddenly thought of her current image as a spendthrift young lady and changed her tone, “but it’s also remote.”

Gu Fuchen : Hmm?

Is that a good thing?

Hmm.

If his sister says it is, then it must be.

There is a bicycle shop on the top floor of the department store, and a private cinema across from it.

When Ruan Yōu and Lu Ming came here in their freshman year, she wanted to buy a bicycle to ride around the school during leisure time and relax by circling the school, but several hundred yuan was still a painful number for them.

They could afford it, but couldn’t bear to spend the money.

When she was a child, learning to ride a bicycle was a necessary skill for the neighboring children. They would ride with training wheels, panting as they went down the alleys. Compared to electric bikes, in Ruan Yōu’s mind, bicycles were a more “down-to-earth” means of transportation.

She didn’t plan to ride the bike too many times, just a few laps around the mansion.

If she wanted to go for a ride, she could have the driver take her on a high-speed joyride in a supercar on the highway and enjoy the ultimate experience and extraordinary feeling!

There weren’t many people in the store.

Ruan Yōu picked a light pink old-fashioned road bike with a brown wicker basket in the front, priced at only 480 yuan.

When she saw the price, Ruan Yōu’s heart skipped a beat for two seconds.

This bike was one of the lower-priced models in the store. They had mountain bikes that cost several thousand yuan, but without a small bamboo basket, which Ruan Yōu didn’t like.

She was just an old-fashioned resident who wanted to buy a bike with a small frame.

Righteous and confident.jpg

Ruan Yōu thought of something.

She hadn’t informed her Brother Overlord about buying a cheap bike.

Last time, when she used the black card to buy a 20-yuan ice cream mango egg waffle, Gu Fuchen was so worried that he put down his work and came to teach her how to buy, showing the charm of buy-all.

The newly purchased bicycle was also cheap, 480 yuan and 20 yuan were both just peanuts in the eyes of Brother Ba.

The world is wonderful.

In just a few days, she went from being a frugal retiree who struggled to make ends meet by relying on interest, to living a comfortable life where buying cheap things would be “scolded” by her brother.

The money was paid by Gu Fuchen.

Yesterday she gave her brother a potted plant, and her brother bought her a bicycle.

Obviously, Ruan Yōu’s good behavior of being thrifty and economical did not bring any joy to Gu Fuchen.

Ruan Yōu covered her face with a scarf in one hand and waved her fair index finger in front of Gu Fu chen with the other hand, “This is the last time I will spend a little money. From now on, I will try to spend more.”

The staff who was processing the bill was momentarily stunned, rubbed their ears, and continued writing.

They must have misheard.

The next second—

“I really worked hard. I spent a lot of money buying the planes in the live broadcast room, and I’ve almost finished my second homework.”

With a “crack” sound, the pencil in the staff’s hand broke.

Both Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen looked over.

The staff swallowed nervously, holding the card on the table.

She knew about buying the planes!

At that time, her roommate was watching a live broadcast, and excitedly pulled her over to watch together, saying that a super rich woman had spent 400 million to buy a plane!

It wasn’t a prop plane for the live broadcast, nor was it a toy plane for children. It was a real! air! plane!

It was their first time seeing someone spend a lot of money like that, like not treating money as money. It was so exhilarating, like a rush, and those who have watched live broadcasts understand it.

Now, the rich lady who doesn’t treat money as money is right in front of her.

A real rich lady!

The staff glanced up and secretly assessed her.

The eldest lady was very beautiful, and although she couldn’t see her face clearly, her dress and demeanor were enough to explain everything.

But a rich lady who spent 400 million in one go came to the store and bought a 480 yuan bicycle?

Miss, what kind of bicycle do you want!!

Hurry up and take a plane to travel.

As Ruan Yōu finished writing down the address for the delivery-station villa, the staff sneaked a look.

It was a famous wealthy area.

Awesome!

It matched the eldest lady’s identity.

The delivery guy was on leave today, and the other one was far away, but if the product was for local delivery, it would usually be delivered on the same day.

Every time there was no one to deliver, she would go.

She was particularly excited about going out this time, as she had a legitimate reason to visit the luxurious villas in the wealthy area. She had to tell her roommate about this good news.

After buying her things, Ruan Yōu did not linger. She followed the crowd down the escalator and when she turned the corner, she encountered two people coming towards her.

She lowered her head and instinctively walked past them.

“Ruan…”

Ruan Yōu looked confusedly in the direction of the voice.

Lu Ming regretted speaking up as soon as he did, but when he caught sight of the familiar eyes beneath the wide-brimmed hat, he relaxed and smiled: “It’s really you! Just now, I thought I mistook someone else for you.”

Gu Fuchen stepped forward quickly and stood by Ruan Yōu’s side in a protective posture, slightly adjusting his position to stand beside her.

Lu Ming came to the mall today with her research friend Jiang Li to relax and see a movie at the private cinema on the top floor.

The department store is not far from their school, and the private cinema is well-known. The cinema’s decoration style has attracted many literary and artistic youths. There is also a stylish café nearby. The recommendation post about this cinema on the school forum has received over ten pages of responses, making it a popular spot for taking pictures on campus.

More people come on Sundays.

Lu Ming and Jiang Li naturally noticed the man beside Ruan Yōu, who exuded an air of luxury.

When they came up the escalator, Jiang Li noticed him from a distance, but couldn’t make out his appearance. However, the feeling he gave off just standing there was very attractive.

The bright lights in the mall were a bit dazzling, and the glass handrail at the corner was translucent. He was wearing a midnight blue coat, like the sea approaching darkness after sunset, and the sparkling waves of the sea at night merged with the darkness of night. He was wearing a black high-necked shirt and matching casual pants in the same color scheme. His hair was down from its usual workday style, covering his eyebrows with short, fine strands, and his right hand, which was holding a black cellphone, had distinctly white, slender fingers against the blackness.

Moving up the escalator, his profile became clearer.

His jawline was curved and his eyebrows flowed smoothly. The three-dimensional but soft nose bridge softened the overall ruggedness and distant feeling of his features, making them more gentle. Although the mall’s lighting was the same, it seemed to shine a little brighter on him. He stood there, waiting motionlessly, and attracted the gaze of many who secretly stole glances at him.

Seeing him standing next to Ruan Yōu, Lu Ming’s eyes lit up and she raised her eyebrows, indicating the direction of the man.

—Who is he?!!

Ruan Yōu was immediately dumbfounded.

Just a few days ago, Lu Ming had declared that Gu Fuchen was her idol. Although Lu Ming had many idols, it was not a good opportunity to reveal Ruan Yōu’s identity and the successor that Lu Ming pursued.

Especially with an unfamiliar person standing next to Lu Ming.

Ruan Yōu pointed in Lu Ming’s direction with a tilted head and said to Gu Fuchen, “This is my good friend, Lu Ming.”

Since she couldn’t reveal Gu Fuchen’s real name and Ruan Yōu’s last name was Ruan, she introduced him tentatively, “And this is my brother, Ruan…Chen.”

When he heard the word “brother,” Gu Fuchen was very happy, but the next word after “Ruan” made him unconsciously raise his eyebrows.

Ruan Yōu noticed that Gu Fuchen didn’t seem to like that name. In a moment, she realized that his name was three characters long, but she couldn’t think of any other character to add to it. Unconsciously, she blurted out the name “Chen” with a questioning tone as she looked at Gu Fuchen.

So, Gu Fuchen’s introduction became:

“This is my brother, Ruan Chen—chen?”

Gu Fuchen: “…?”
