Gu Jinxi took the elevator straight up to the 30th floor. During the journey, the elevator stopped on various floors for people to get on and off, causing some delays.
With the thought of his sister-in-law currently having a date with that scumbag in the room, Gu Jinxi felt an urgent sense of frustration. He wished he could teleport over and beat the man to a pulp.
After what seemed like forever, the elevator finally stopped on the 30th floor. Gu Jinxi dashed out of the elevator.
The 30th floor had only one large suite. Gu Jinxo went straight to the door of Room 3001 and raised his hand to pound on it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Shiyan was in the middle of a video conference with leaders from other subsidiary companies in his office. When he saw the call on the screen end, he set his phone aside and addressed the person on the opposite side of the computer screen. “Continue.”
Gu Jinxi had always been jumpy and easily startled, so naturally, he didn’t believe his words. It was probably just a chance encounter with Lu Miao and some other classmates outside.
As the person on the computer screen spoke a few more sentences, the phone on the table vibrated again.
Gu Shiyan was on the verge of blocking his little brother’s number when he saw two images that Gu Jinxi had sent.

Gu Jinxi had always been jumpy and easily startled, so naturally, he didn’t believe his words. It was probably just a chance encounter with Lu Miao and some other classmates outside.
As the person on the computer screen spoke a few more sentences, the phone on the table vibrated again.
Gu Shiyan was on the verge of blocking his little brother’s number when he saw two images that Gu Jinxi had sent.
In the pictures, a tall man was beaming and hugging Lu Miao tightly.
Lu Miao didn’t appear to be resisting in any way.
In reality, although Lu Miao seemed delicate and frail, she was quite capable physically. Moreover, she possessed an air of mystery and had skills that made it nearly impossible for anyone to approach her against her will, let alone engage in such an intimate gesture.
Gu Shiyan squinted at the man in the picture. He had blond hair and blue eyes, and he looked like a foreigner. His smile was reminiscent of a fool’s.
He rubbed his fingertip on the phone screen a few times.
“Mr. Gil? Mr. Gil?”
The person on the other side of the computer spoke for a while but received no response. They tentatively called out his name twice.
Gu Shiyan pressed the phone screen to turn it off. “Today’s meeting ends here. We’ll continue on Monday.”
After saying that, he turned off the camera directly, picked up his phone, and walked out of the room.
Gu Jinxi had pounded the door so hard that it resonated throughout the floor. As he frantically looked around for something to use to break the door open, the door ahead finally opened from the inside.
The one opening the door was the foreign guy who had been hugging Lu Miao outside the hotel.
Without waiting for the man to say anything, Gu Jinxi swung his fist and landed a blow on his face. “You filthy scumbag! How dare you take my sister-in-law to a hotel? I’ll beat you to death!”
Aluo, unprepared for the sudden attack, hadn’t expected the newcomer to be so aggressive. He took a punch to his nose and let out a miserable cry.
Gu Zhixing, in the midst of undressing for acupuncture treatment, heard the scream and hurriedly turned toward the door.
Upon glancing at the scene, Gu Jinxi realized there was another man in the room. What’s more, this man was in the middle of undressing!
His mind exploded with shock. This was truly a scumbag. Not only did he bring his sister-in-law to the hotel, but he even invited someone else along!
Gu Jinxi immediately felt the urge to fight, but he didn’t bother to assess the man’s appearance. He acted like a little cannonball, shouting as he swung his fists and charged once again.
“You bunch of dirty jerks! I’ll beat you all!”
Gu Zhixing immediately recognized Gu Jinxi and froze in his tracks.
When he left, Gu Jinxi was still just a child. In the blink of an eye, he had grown so much.
He stood there without evading, and Gu Jinxi’s fist landed squarely on his face.
Meanwhile, Aluo, who had been clutching his nose on the ground, witnessed Gu Jinxi attacking Gu Zhixing and felt an immediate surge of empathy. He got up and charged forward, shouting, “You scoundrel! I’ll fight you too!” While shouting, he grabbed Gu Jinxi and wrestled with him.
Lu Miao walked out and saw the chaotic scene – one throwing punches, the other yanking hair, twisting ears — and couldn’t bear to look, covering her face.
“That’s enough, Jinxi, stop.”
“I won’t! These two jerks dared to bully you. I’m going to beat them to death!” Gu Jinxi, his eyes red with anger, held Aluo’s hair with one hand and tried to scratch his eyes with the other, while his foot aimed to kick.
Aluo, not one to back down, went for his nose.
His Mandarin wasn’t fluent, and he cursed nonstop in English.
A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Lu Miao’s lips. “No one bullied me; that’s your big brother. ”
“What big brother? My big brother disappeared many years ago!” Gu Jinxi shouted, his actions unceasing.
Gu Zhixing stepped forward, squatted down, and grabbed Gu Jinxi’s fist. “Jinxi, it’s me.”
“You scoundrel! How dare you pretend to be my big brother?” Gu Jinxi angrily retorted. He was about to curse further when he looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar face before him and froze.
When his big brother left, he was just eight or nine years old. The memory of that face had become hazy, but in this moment, time seemed to halt. The blurry face in his mind gradually became clear, blending with the face before him.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Big brother?”
Gu Zhixing used one hand for each person, pulling Gu Jinxi and Aluo apart from the ground.
Looking at the disheveled pair, their hair a mess like chicken nests, Gu Zhixing raised his hand to ruffle Gu Jinxi’s head.
However, Gu Jinxi snapped out of his daze and swatted his hand away, angrily demanding, “Where were you? Why did you only come back now? Do you know that Dad passed away? Those relatives who wanted a share of the inheritance came to bully us, trying to take over the company. Second brother dropped out of school just to protect us, to protect the company. Do vou have any idea how difficult it was? Dealing with schemes from behind, enduring curses, almost losing your life. These years, you haven’t had a break, haven’t slept a full night?”
Although he was young at the time, he personally experienced those nightmarish moments, witnessing Gu Shiyan’s struggles and sacrifices.
He didn’t say it aloud, but he truly felt for his second brother.
Seeing tears in Gu Jinxi’s eyes, Gu Zhixing also felt a pang of guilt. He spoke with a bitter tone, “I’m sorry.”
“Who cares about your sorry? Since you left, don’t ever come back again!” Gu Jinxi angrily declared.
Aluo finally realized who Gu Jinxi was by now, but he remained discontent with Gu Jinxi’s aggressive behavior toward Gu Zhixing.
With a touch of annoyance, he said, “He didn’t leave on purpose. He left back then because…”
“Aluo.” Gu Zhixing interrupted him.
Seeing that Aluo had finally recalled why he was there, Gu Jinxi’s anger intensified.
“You, foreign pretty boy, seduced my sister-in-law and took her to a hotel. I haven’t settled the score with you yet, and you dare to speak.” As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready for another brawl.
“You’re the pretty boy.” Alo retorted, irritated.
Seeing the two about to fight again, Lu Miao’s lips twitched, and she stepped forward, grabbing Gu Jinxi by his collar and pulling him over to the nearby sofa..
