    Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Wuwu wants to talk, Wuwu wants to become…

    What?Replacing teeth?He just changed his teeth?

    Wu Xue was shocked for a moment, and soon became angry. The damn Maine Coon cat had actually lied to him!You have a terminal illness and you are going to die!!

    Wu Xue angrily went back to find the Maine Coon cat to settle the score. However, when he returned to the place with Gu Sichen, he found that the Maine Coon cat was gone.

    Xiao Mian was really about to die. He wanted to die in a cat home, a place that was good to stray cats.While his body could still move, he moved his body little by little and worked hard to crawl towards the cat’s home.

    Xiao Mian climbed over the spiky lawns and hot stone slabs, and finally arrived at the cat’s home.

    But he didn’t dare to get too close, because doing so would spread the disease to other cats.He could only hide in the gutter, watch the happy cats in the Cat House from a distance, and end his last life.

    Looking back at my short life, I am full of failures and regrets.When he left the island, Xiao Mian was in high spirits and wanted to do something big.As a result, he made one wrong step and another, and he could only wait to die in embarrassment.

    The sun was getting bigger and bigger, making the world pale and making him think of death.

    It’s just that in the next life, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with anyone anymore…

    “Meet you again.” In the blurred vision, a boy carrying a backpack came over. He took out a mask from his pocket and put it on, and asked curiously, “Mimi, why are you sleeping here? Isn’t it hot? Mimi, do you want to eat canned food? Mimi, are you sick…”

    In the friendly voice of the strange boy, the Maine Coon cat slowly closed its eyes.

    ·

    Wu Xue didn’t find the Maine Coon cat and went home a little disappointed.But soon he became happy again because he found that he had new teeth!

    The mouth was still not used to the new teeth that had just grown in, so Wu Xue kept licking them with her tongue.After licking it, he opened his mouth again to show off to Gu Sichen: Man, my teeth have grown.

    Gu Sichen looked down and saw two small fangs, as big as grains of rice, emerging from the kitten’s pink gums.

    Gu Sichen: “Wuwu has teeth?”

    “Meow meow meow!” the kitten cried happily, what a big tooth!The new teeth must be awesome!

    Wu Xue started hunting again.

    He was so excited that he ran around the house, having fun everywhere, leaving dirty footprints on the carpet, sofa, and sheets.

    The kitten stopped in confusion. He raised his paw and wanted to lick it clean, but he quickly disliked it.

    He is dirty, he is no longer the sweet-smelling, soft kitten.

    Gu Sichen: “Do you want to take a shower?”

    Take a shower?

    The kitten didn’t quite understand the word and opened its eyes curiously.

    Gu Sichen had already brought the cat into the bathroom.

    Wu Xue looked at everything around him curiously. The pool was so big, white and slippery, and it was impossible to hold onto it. He would slide down halfway up.But this couldn’t stop him. Wu Xue jumped to the bathtub, only to find that the door was closed.The confined space made him a little nervous, but fortunately there were still people there.

    People call him baby, praise him for being so awesome, and say he is the most beautiful kitten in the world.

    The kitten felt dizzy after being praised. When he came to his senses, he realized that all the fur on his body was wet.

    Wu Xue: Meow meow meow?!

    Why does this happen?!He hates wet fur!!

    The kitten turned its head like a hot wheel, “pah pah pah”, and all the water droplets fell on Gu Sichen.

    Gu Sichen knelt down to catch the cat. His custom-made white shirt was wet with water and clung to his strong body.

    Wu Xue slapped his strong biceps and nimbly hid in another corner.

    People are indeed very cunning!

    While praising him with sweet words, he also did bad things to bully him. He should never trust anyone again!

    “Wuwu, come here.” Gu Sichen said.

    Wu Xue huddled in the corner and looked at people warily.The hair on his body was all wet, and his head and eyes looked particularly big, and his nose was pink, like an elf.

    “Hug.” Gu Sichen continued.

    Wu Xue hesitated.

    Gu Sichen reached out to pick up Wu Wu, and while applying foam to it, he said, “Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.”

    Wu Xue hugged Gu Sichen’s neck and moaned for a while.

    Wu Xue took a bath for the first time. It took more than an hour. Gu Sichen stuffed the cat into the drying box and went to the bathroom to take a bath himself.

    By the time he came out of the shower, Wu Wu was already lying in the drying box and asleep.The freshly washed hair is fluffy and soft, like a big dandelion.

    Gu Sichen turned off the drying box and carried Wuwu to the sofa, but Wuwu still didn’t wake up.

    The wandering life these days has made him exhausted. He cannot eat or sleep well outside, and he needs to be alert at all times.It wasn’t until I returned to the absolutely safe territory of my home that I finally took off my guard and fell asleep.

    Gu Sichen buried his face in the kitten’s belly, feeling a strong joy of regaining something in his heart.

    I’m sorry, I won’t let you suffer again in the future.

    ·

    The day after Wuwu returned home, Gu Guangyao felt that he had been greatly wronged. Gu Sichen broke into his house with his bodyguards because of a cat. This incident made him lose face and complained to the old man in tears.

    The old man didn’t say a word. After the old man retired, he stopped doing things. No one would be offended if he was the main one.After learning about this, he called all the people involved back over the weekend, with an obvious attitude: You can solve it yourself.

    At the dinner table, Gu Guangyao cried again.The old man didn’t speak, and the old lady was still practicing in Nanshan Temple. Gu Haixin looked left and right, claiming that no one at the table was more senior than him, and acted like a father to accept the guest.

    Gu Sichen lowered his head to drink the soup without giving him an unnecessary look.

    “I also heard that it’s for a cat? It’s just a pet. Why hurt your brotherhood for something like this?”

    Still no one answered him, Gu Haixin felt a little embarrassed. Just when he wanted to speak for the third time, Gu Sichen put down the spoon and said calmly: “The soup is good.”

    Gu Haixin:?

    The chef was flattered and said quickly: “As long as Mr. Gu likes it, we will cook it next time you come.”

    Gu Haixin was displeased: “Gu Sichen, I’m talking to you, you…”

    “Gu Guangyao,” Gu Sichen said, “I discussed a mineral development project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the international summit last week, and I plan to let you go.”

    What the hell?Congolese?That pimple in Africa?

    “I’m not going!” Gu Guangyao was used to living and drinking, so he subconsciously refused, “Africa is so poor and miserable, you have to go there by yourself.”

    Gu Sichen seemed to just mention it casually, but when Gu Guangyao refused, he said forget it.

    Gu Guangyao originally planned to fight to the death, but he didn’t expect Gu Sichen to give up so easily.What are you doing, are you scared?

    Gu Haixin also did not agree with this arrangement, and said to Gu Sichen: “I remember that there are changes in the secretariat of the board of directors, and there happen to be a few vacancies, otherwise Guangyao will be left.”

    Gu Sichen: “He is not suitable.”

    Gu Guangyao couldn’t hear this the most, and subconsciously retorted: “Where is it inappropriate?”

    Gu Sichen: “You are not good at studies, have insufficient abilities, have a loose temperament, and have no ethics. Why do you think you can enter the secretariat of the board of directors?”

    Half of the people at the table felt that Gu Sichen was right and nodded secretly.

    In a big family like the Gu family, it is inevitable that there will be a few losers in a generation. If you keep to yourself and enjoy the family dividends for the rest of your life, no one will say anything.But he is most afraid of waste and has a lofty ambition to do something big.

    Gu Guangyao held the knife hard, and his whole face turned red visibly.He wanted to do something great and impress everyone, but who knew that Gu Sichen would ridicule him like this in front of his face?

    Gu Haixin couldn’t keep it off his face. He was also a waste. What was the difference between Gu Sichen’s words and scolding him directly?

    But after all, he was much older and thick-skinned. He was not as angry as Gu Guangyao. He just said: “Si Chen, this is your prejudice. Although Guangyao is not good at it, you must give him a chance to practice. Even if his university diploma was bought with a donation, it does not mean that he is useless!”

    After saying that, Gu Haixin turned to Gu Guangyao and said, “Guangyao, don’t you think so? Since you are determined to learn, please beg your brother to give him a chance.”

    “Why should I beg him?” Gu Guangyao retorted, “If you really ask someone, it’s your father who should beg him, right?”

    Gu Haixin’s old face sank: “What nonsense are you talking about? Where can a father beg for his son?”

    “I think it makes sense. Isn’t it your fault that I’m a loser?” Gu Guangyao stared at Gu Haixin and said in a cold tone, “I’m useless, I’m a loser. I did buy my college diploma, but why don’t you think about it, I went to that shabby elementary school in town and went to junior high school!”

    As soon as these words came out, Gu Haixin and Yao Ting lowered their heads in unison.

    “Guangyao, calm down,” Yao Ting tugged on his sleeve, “Your dad doesn’t want this either.”

    “He didn’t want this?” Gu Guangyao stood up suddenly and said angrily, “If he didn’t want it, why would he run to get married when you were pregnant? We had such a hard time, why did he never ask? If he didn’t want it, why did he wait until he divorced his ex-wife…”

    “Pah——”

    Yao Ting slapped her in the face, shaking with anger, “Gu Guangyao! Have you made enough trouble?!”

    Gu Guangyao tilted his head and was silent for more than ten seconds. He raised his head and smiled sadly: “Mom, you have fulfilled your dream of being rich, but what about me? What do the ten years I lost count?”

    “Guangyao…” Yao Ting tried to touch him with trembling hands, but Gu Guangyao pushed her away and ran out without looking back.

    The restaurant became quiet again and no one had any appetite.After a long silence, the old man let out a long sigh, then turned around and went upstairs as if he didn’t know anything.

    Gu Sichen and Gu Ting’an also headed back home. When passing by the garden, Gu Ting’an suddenly stopped and said in a shocked tone: “Brother, is Gu Guangyao crying…”

    Gu Sichen glanced at it and ignored it.

    But Gu Guangyao wiped his face, rushed over to block his car door, and said harshly: “Gu Sichen, don’t think you can use the project to exile me to Africa, I won’t fall for your trick!”

    Gu Sichen suddenly asked: “Gu Guangyao, how old are you this year?”

    The entire Gu family knows that Gu Guangyao’s age sensitivity is a huge scandal.

    Gu Guangyao raised his head and stared at Gu Sichen: “What do you mean?”

    Gu Sichen: “You have accomplished nothing at this age, how do you expect everyone to respect you?”

    “You——”

    “Did I say something wrong?” Gu Sichen lowered his eyes. Under the scorching sun, his eyes were so cold but seemed to be filled with ice. “From your birth to now, have you achieved anything that can be considered an achievement?”

    Gu Guangyao gritted his teeth: “Gu Sichen, don’t think I dare not beat you!”

    Gu Sichen’s bodyguard instantly went into alert mode, but Gu Sichen just waved his hand to signal them to leave.

    “You feel that everyone looks down on you and that I don’t value you, so your value is not brought into play. But look at the things you have done, which one is worthy of respect? Relying on the Gu family’s background to indulge in debauchery, be riddled with scandals, and achieve nothing. Is this what you pursue? Gu Guangyao, if you continue to be so childish, you will only be looked down upon for the rest of your life.”

    Gu Guangyao’s breathing was rapid. He stared at Gu Sichen, wanting to rush forward and punch him twice.

    But Gu Sichen just looked at him calmly. In this ice-like gaze, Gu Guangyao’s anger faded little by little, and finally turned into an emotion similar to shame.

    He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Gu Sichen was already in the car, and Gu Guangyao rushed over.

    The driver couldn’t make up his mind and looked back at Gu Sichen.Gu Guangyao ran to the back seat again and slapped the rear window.

    The car window was lowered, and Gu Sichen’s tone was not warm: “Is there anything else?”

    Gu Guangyao hesitated, closed his eyes, and asked, “What’s going on with that project in Africa?”

    Gu Sichen: “The local political situation is complicated, and there are some things that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot intervene in, so companies need to mediate. The project is difficult and dangerous. You can decide for yourself whether to go or not.”

    After Gu Sichen finished speaking, he left. Gu Guangyao stood there in despair, and it was not until Yao Ting came over to call him that he came back to his senses.

    Yao Ting patted her son on the shoulder and said slowly: “Don’t think things are that simple. You also know that your brother has good means to deal with people…”

    “Can you stop talking!” Gu Guangyao suddenly shouted.

    Yao Ting was stunned and said in surprise: “Do you want to go to Africa?”

    Gu Guangyao did not answer.

    The car passed quietly through the city’s elevated highway, while Gu Sichen was doing his work, and Gu Ting’an stared out the window blankly without saying a word.

    The car stopped and Gu Sichen got out of the car. Gu Tingan remained motionless.

    Gu Sichen: “Xiao An.”

    Gu Ting’an finally came to his senses and asked a little aggrievedly: “Brother, why did your parents give birth to us if they didn’t like each other in the first place?”

    Gu Sichen was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: “I don’t know.”

    “Oh.” Gu Tingan lowered his head, looking a little disappointed.

    Gu Sichen: “It doesn’t matter why our parents gave birth to us. What matters is that it has happened.”

    What matters is that this has happened?Gu Ting’an looked up in confusion.

    “Gu Ting’an, look forward,” Gu Sichen said, “We can avoid repeating the life of our parents.”

    The high-speed elevator ran quietly. Gu Sichen opened the door and entered the room. In the living room, Wuwu was playing with a bird toy. When he heard the door opening, he immediately put down the toy and ran over like a little pony.

    Gu Sichen picked up Wuwu and asked, “Did you miss me?”

    Kitten: “Meow!”

    Gu Sichen played with the kitten for a while and said, “I still have something to do, you can play by yourself first.”

    The kitten glanced at the person and left reluctantly.

    Gu Sichen went to the study to continue working. He was very busy. As the president of the group, Gu Sichen had countless work to do every day.

    Even though he already has a very good team of secretaries and tries to reduce the content that does not require his decision-making as much as possible, there is still not enough time.

    At six o’clock in the evening, Aunt Zhou made dinner. She didn’t dare to knock on the door and call for help. She just put the food in the thermos.

    It wasn’t until ten o’clock in the evening that the study door finally reopened.

    Wuwu disappeared somewhere, and Gu Sichen ate the food in the thermos cabinet. The reheated food didn’t taste very good, but he didn’t mind it.

    After filling his stomach, Gu Sichen went to the bathroom to take a shower.When he came out, he saw Wuwu struggling to pull out the pet button.

    Gu Sichen was sitting on the bedside, his freshly washed hair still dripping with water, and his bangs covered his forehead, making him look several years younger than usual.

    While wiping his hair with a towel, he asked: “Wuwu, what are you doing?”

    Kitty moved the button in front of him and pressed: [People] [Unhappy]

    Gu Sichen blamed himself a little, squatted down and touched the kitten’s head: “Sorry, I’m too busy today, I will definitely play with you tomorrow.”

    The kitten continued to press: [People] [Unhappy]

    Gu Sichen was stunned.

    The kitten is still pressing: [People] [Unhappy]

    “I know,” Gu Sichen raised the kitten’s paw and said, “Do you think I’m unhappy?”

    The kitten presses again: [Yes]

    Gu Sichen: “Did you see it?”

    Kitten: “Meow.”

    Gu Sichen: “How do you know I’m unhappy?”

    The kitten found another pet button: [Smart]

    Gu Sichen smiled, picked up Wuwu and said, “Why is the baby so smart?”

    He closed his eyes and pressed Wuwu into his arms, feeling the kitten’s softness and body temperature. After a while, he said, “Thank you Wuwu, I’m fine.”

    But Wu Wu doesn’t think so.

    Wu Wu rubbed his furry head against the man’s shoulder. Wu Wu wanted to talk, and Wu Wu wanted to become a human.
