Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 425 The Beginning of Everything 16

Chen Zhao touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, before realizing he had mistaken the person for someone else.

It turns out this person wasn't a roommate, but a parent.

He emerged from behind Yu Ran. Chen Zhao pursed his lips, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu. But one of our roommates hasn't arrived yet. Shouldn't we wait for him?"

Xie Gui frowned upon hearing this form of address, but made no attempt to explain.

What bothered him even more was something else: Ah Yao was still hungry, so why should he wait for that guy who didn't even know what kind of cookie it was?

Is he worthy?

Xie Gui frowned slightly, and Gu Yao knew what he wanted to say. He grabbed Xie Gui's sleeve and shook his head, "The last person will be here soon, it's okay to wait."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The sound of a suitcase rolling stopped at the door; the last roommate had arrived.

Gu Yao looked up and met a smiling face that was slightly surprised.

He raised an eyebrow. "You've all arrived. Hello, I'm Cen Yubai."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and exclaimed, "What a small world!"

Before he could even look for the person, this person came to him on their own.

His partner in his previous life, Cen Yubai.

A genius in finance from University A.

In his past life, when he sought revenge, this person had tried to trip him up quite a bit, always saying that he was too extreme and that if he wanted to die, he shouldn't drag the company down with him.

It may sound harsh, but there's some truth to it.

However, Gu Yao felt somewhat annoyed when he recalled how he had been exploited by this person in his previous life, forced to dedicate himself to the company.

Evil capitalism.

In the end, this person didn't gain anything either. Gu Yao rubbed his chin, recalling that in his previous life he had donated all his shares and other assets to society as a contribution.

Given Cen Yubai's stingy nature, this person would definitely be driven mad.

Gu Yao clicked his tongue lightly, a sound that was particularly noticeable in the quiet dormitory.

Xie Gui raised an eyebrow and noticed the strange look in Gu Yao's eyes.

Ah Yao, do I seem to know this person?

He looked at the last person with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Want to go out for dinner together?"

Cen Yubai also sized up Xie Gui.

He sized up the young man who clearly seemed out of place among the college students in the room.

Xie Gui was tall, and Cen Yubai had to raise her eyes slightly to look him in the eye. She adjusted her glasses and asked calmly, "Are there five people in our dorm?"

As he spoke, Cen Yubai looked at Xie Gui and asked, "And who is this?"

Xie Gui lowered his brows slightly, showing some displeasure at being scrutinized, but still replied with basic politeness, thoughtfully adding his name, "Xie Gui, Gu Yao's older brother."

He didn't want others to have a bad reputation in front of A Yao when they talked about him.

Moreover, he didn't really want to be the "older brother".

He wouldn't want to create obstacles on his path to getting closer to A Yao.

Chen Zhao, however, hadn't quite caught on yet. Realizing the awkward atmosphere between the two, she stepped in as a bridge, smiling broadly, "Yes, yes, Yu Bai, this is Gu Yao's older brother, Xie Gui. He said he's treating our dorm to dinner, and he's waiting for you..."

Suddenly, as if realizing something was wrong, he turned sharply to look at Xie Gui, somewhat shocked, "Brother Gu's surname isn't Gu?"

Xie Gui clicked his tongue lightly, his gaze towards Chen Zhao carrying a hint of... indescribable emotion.

Gu Yao also turned his head and leaned against Xie Gui's back, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a long reaction time.

The other two couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Zhao clearly realized how stupid his question was; after all, it might have been his cousin.

He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose. "No, Brother Gu, no, Brother Xie, are you Gu Yao's cousin?"

Xie Gui clicked his tongue lightly, "No, we are not related by blood."

Chen Zhao never expected that his casual question would uncover someone's private family matters.

I didn't know what to say for a moment, but I also didn't want to press the matter further.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

Gu Yao didn't react in any particular way; after laughing enough, he got up from Xie Gui.

Xie Gui, somewhat helplessly, steadied the child who was laughing so hard he was unsteady on his feet, and helped him stand up straight. "Stand still."

Gu Yao obediently stood up straight and nodded, "I understand."

He looked at the three people in front of him, smiled slightly, and decided to prepare them mentally. "Brother Xie and I are not related by blood, but in a sense, he is indeed my guardian."

Gu Yao carefully considered his words, then looked at the group with a smile, "Brother Xie has made a reservation, would you like to go eat together?"

The group agreed.

Xie Gui also handed over the right to negotiate to Gu Yao.

He seemed to completely obey Gu Yao's orders.

To spoil someone to the extreme.

Xie Gui didn't say much, but called the driver and asked him to send another car.

He didn't want anyone to disturb him and A-Yao.

Cen Yubai looked at the two cars in front of him, adjusted his glasses, and cast a scrutinizing glance at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao was talking to Xie Gui when he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him. He turned his head and saw Cen Yubai's eyes flashing with a light he knew all too well.

This is the look in his eyes when he's competing with rival companies for projects—a glint of shrewdness in his eyes, as he's calculating the value.

Being preoccupied with gains and losses.

Let's see what resources we can get from this person.

And now, this person has taken that thought back on him.

Gu Yao, not to be outdone, raised his eyes and glared back.

Cen Yubai was taken aback, then lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, his face had changed to a gentle and pleasant expression.

She wore a gentle, warm smile.

It's so appealing.

Gu Yao chuckled softly, as if he had seen through Cen Yubai's disguise.

They're all ancient foxes, why are you putting a ghost story on them?

Cen Yubai, after all, hadn't experienced the trials of the business world in the following years, and was still a bit green compared to Gu Yao, who had become a cunning old fox.

Xie Gui also noticed the confrontation between the two, and glanced at Cen Yubai with his eyes lowered, his gaze carrying an indescribable pressure.

His face was sharp and handsome, with raised eyebrows that gave him an air of arrogance.

Cen Yubai felt a pang of panic when he saw that look and quickly looked away before getting into the car with Chen Zhao and Yu Ran.

Xie Gui withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to protect Gu Yao's head, and let him get into the passenger seat.

However, she had already made a mental note of Cen Yubai.

We are preparing to begin investigating the relationship between Gu Yao and Cen Yubai.

He had confirmed that Gu Yao knew Cen Yubai.
