CHAPTER 971: CHAPTER 971 GU XINGRUO: I ALSO WANT A NAME CHANGE FEE!

Aunt Li was taken aback for a moment before she silently started tidying up the dishes.

Seeing this, Gu Xingruo had a big question mark above his head.

Come on, at least try to persuade him.

If only Gu Zhiqi would call him Fourth Brother, and Aunt Li managed to say a couple of words, he would definitely eat!

However, that didn’t happen.

Aunt Li continued to clean up the dishes, and she was doing it quite quickly.

Aunt Li had been with the Gu Family for many years and was familiar with the personalities of the young masters and misses.

Gu Xingruo’s favorite thing to do is to go on a hunger strike.

But the hunger strike never lasts more than half a day. He will find something to eat himself, so Aunt Li is not worried about Gu Xingruo going hungry.

"Come on, just call him Fourth Brother; it’s not like it’s going to cost you any flesh," Gu Xingruo sidled up to Gu Zhiqi and said.

Gu Zhiqi buried her head in sending messages and ignored Gu Xingruo.

Seeing this, Gu Xingruo craned his neck and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Why can you call her sister but can’t call me Fourth Brother? We all share the same birthday."

In the past, Gu Zhiqi didn’t like calling him Fourth Brother.

As a child, it was easier to coax her into saying it.

But ever since finding out she wasn’t the Gu Family’s biological child, she refused to call him Fourth Brother.

Now she’s lost her memory, so why does she still not call him Fourth Brother?

Gu Zhiqi listened to Gu Xingruo’s chatter, her eyes flickered, and she turned her head slightly toward Gu Xingruo, "Elder Sister gave me a change-of-title fee."

Gu Xingruo: ?

"How much did she give?"

Gu Zhiqi: "50 Million."

Gu Xingruo: !

He suddenly turned his head towards Gu Xiyue, his gaze burning as he stared at Gu Xiyue, "Sister."

Gu Xiyue, Gu Zhiqi: ?

"Sister, I also want a change-of-title fee," Gu Xingruo looked eagerly at Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue: "...I’m younger than you."

Gu Xingruo: "I’m only an hour older than you. What can I possibly do in an hour, right? So from now on, you’re my sister."

Gu Xiyue: "..."

How could she tactfully tell him that even if he became her grandson, she wouldn’t give him a penny?

Gu Zhiqi, listening to Gu Xingruo’s words, instantly understood that this one, like her, was also poverty-stricken.

**

Gu Xingruo’s hunger strike plan was ineffective. By midnight, he couldn’t take it anymore and got up to find food.

All the while, he regretted terribly.

He refused hot meals, and now here he was gnawing on dry bread.

How is this any different from life on the training base?

Gu Xingruo grabbed a bag of bread and a carton of yogurt, and just as he closed the fridge door, he heard sounds coming from the entrance.

Glancing towards the entrance, Gu Xingruo saw Gu Huaijin in a suit and tie.

Gu Huaijin also saw Gu Xingruo, glanced at him, then looked away, standing at the entrance to change his shoes.

"Big Brother Gu, you’re just getting off work?" asked Gu Xingruo as he chomped on dry bread, watching Gu Huaijin.

Gu Huaijin responded with a faint "Hmm."

With bread still in his mouth, Gu Xingruo mumbled, "Being a CEO is really tough, working so late."

Gu Huaijin paid him no mind, and after changing his shoes, he walked into the house, stopping by Gu Xingruo, and opened the fridge.

Only when he got closer did Gu Xingruo smell the alcohol on him, and he quietly muttered, "Did you drink?"

"There was a drinking session, I had a few drinks," Gu Huaijin said as he glanced through the fridge, then headed into the kitchen.

Gu Xingruo stood at the kitchen door, watching Gu Huaijin, "Are you cooking noodles? Make me a bowl too."

Gu Huaijin turned back to look at Gu Xingruo, "You haven’t eaten?"
