68: Chapter 68 Black-hearted Sister

Lu Chi had been listening to this riddle for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Song Yuan, do you mean that James across the table is a fake?"

Song Yuan didn't say yes or no. "I just don't think James would easily agree to any company's terms. Think about it, how many years have so many top companies in the industry been trying to poach James? Which one did he agree to? Why choose Tianyu Company, a second-tier company?"

The several people in the meeting felt like they had a sudden enlightenment.

Li Lei exclaimed, "Holy cow, boss, your analysis is brilliant! When you guys come back tomorrow, you must tell us what happened. It feels like it's going to be very exciting!"

Song Yuan thought to himself, 'Of course it will be exciting, a big face-slapping scene, who wouldn't want to see it?'

What he was most curious about now was where Wang Jincai found a fake.

"Alright, everyone, you can go home now. If anything happens tomorrow, we'll live stream it in the group."

"Go, boss!"

"Go!"

...

After the meeting, everyone left work one after another. Song Yuan locked all the test phones in the cabinet, tidied up his computer, and was about to leave when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

He turned around and saw Gu Shiyuan standing behind him.

Gu Shiyuan hadn't been sticking to him for a while, and Song Yuan hadn't really paid much attention to him lately.

"Why haven't you left work yet?"

Gu Shiyuan casually put his Bugatti car keys into his pocket. "I want to go home with you today!"

He had been sending messages to Gu Shiyu recently, but his own sister wasn't even replying to him anymore, finding him annoying.

He wanted to see how well these two were living their lives, to the point where they didn't even care about him, their own brother.

Song Yuan stopped what he was doing when he heard Gu Shiyuan's words and looked at him. "What are you coming home with me for? It's not convenient!"

He directly refused.

Gu Shiyuan hit a brick wall, and his mood became even worse.

Good heavens, as expected, two people who don't sleep in the same bed can't be of the same kind. His sister and brother-in-law's attitudes towards him were surprisingly similar!

"I don't care, I'm going!"

Song Yuan became very alert. "Gu Shiyuan, don't make trouble. I'll treat you to dinner this weekend. I remember the thing you mentioned, and I'll try my best to introduce you to a girlfriend. Don't be in a hurry!"

After Song Yuan finished speaking, he left with his bag on his back. He walked quickly towards the parking lot, wanting to shake off this strange junior brother.

To his surprise, Gu Shiyuan followed him out closely.

"My family kicked me out, and I have nowhere to go. Senior Brother Song, you have to take care of me. If you don't, I'll go find Professor Zhang!"

Song Yuan leaned against the car door with a look of horror. "Gu Shiyuan, tell me honestly, why are you always pestering me? Are you gay?"

Gu Shiyuan's expression froze, as if he had suddenly been acupunctured. After a long while, he cursed, "Damn it, Senior Brother Song, is this why you've been avoiding me these past few days? Where do I look gay? Should I take off my pants and show you?"

Seeing his strong reaction, Song Yuan didn't think he was lying, so he asked again, "Really not?"

Gu Shiyuan felt greatly insulted. "Even if the whole world turns gay, I never will! Song Yuan, you don't actually think I have a crush on you, do you?"

Song Yuan scratched his eyebrow with his index finger. It was actually a misunderstanding.

As long as he wasn't gay, that was fine.

"Were you really kicked out by your family?"

Gu Shiyuan nodded, putting on a pitiful, homeless puppy look. "My sister won't let me go home. I'm a homeless kid now."

"Then get in the car."

Gu Shiyuan eagerly got into the passenger seat.

Before Song Yuan started the car, he took out his phone. "If you're coming home with me, I need to let your sister-in-law know beforehand. It has to be with her permission!"

Gu Shiyuan had only been happy for a few seconds before he suddenly looked at Song Yuan. "No, don't say anything...!"

If his sister knew, would she still let him go?

But he stopped him too late. Song Yuan's phone screen showed a call to 'Wife'.

Gu Shiyuan's heart leaped, but the call rang for a long time and then hung up naturally when no one answered. His suspended heart dropped again.

Song Yuan started the car. "I'll take you home first. Whether you can stay after dinner depends on your sister-in-law's opinion!"

Gu Shiyuan had a belly full of resentment stifled in his chest.

Song Yuan took Gu Shiyuan to the supermarket first to buy some groceries. Since he and Gu Shiyu got married, the kitchen at home had only been used a few times for simple breakfasts and had never been formally used for cooking.

When they arrived home, Gu Shiyu hadn't returned yet.

Song Yuan instructed Gu Shiyuan to wash the vegetables. The young master was quite reluctant, but Song Yuan shut him in the kitchen. Gu Shiyuan clumsily worked, splashing water everywhere.

Song Yuan cut the vegetables and then instructed Gu Shiyuan to clean the kitchen.

As the two were working enthusiastically, the sound of the door opening came from outside.

Gu Shiyu put her bag aside and changed her shoes. When she went into the kitchen and saw Gu Shiyuan wearing an apron and washing, she froze, then after a long pause, she held back her laughter.

Song Yuan explained to Gu Shiyu, "My junior brother had a conflict with his family and was kicked out. I brought him back for dinner today."

Gu Shiyu nodded and looked at Gu Shiyuan. "A conflict?"

Gu Shiyuan brazenly said, "Yes, my black-hearted sister, who abandons her own brother once she has a man, kicked me out of the house! She even left me without money to eat."

Song Yuan felt only pity when he heard this. "Your sister confiscated your money? And your brother-in-law didn't give you any either?"

Gu Shiyuan put his hands on his hips. "Yes, neither of them is a good person!"

Song Yuan sighed and looked at Gu Shiyu. "Shiyu, I remember you also have a younger brother. Your brother..."

Gu Shiyu interrupted him, saying, "My brother is in his rebellious phase now and is difficult to manage. But for disobedient kids like him, I have a trick: cut off their living expenses."

Song Yuan choked a bit. Why did it feel like all sisters in the world were so heartless?

Fortunately, he didn't have a sister.

"You two go out. I'm going to start stir-frying."

Gu Shiyuan pushed the mop aside and left the kitchen. As soon as he came out, Gu Shiyu grabbed his ear. "What are you doing here, you brat? Did I invite you that you just came?"

Gu Shiyuan tilted his head and cried out in pain, "Sister, sister, sister, let go! If you don't let go, I'll call brother-in-law!"

Gu Shiyu finally let go and glanced at the kitchen. "You haven't said anything out of line, have you?"

Gu Shiyuan looked angry but also dared not, stubbornly replying, "No, would I dare?"

If he said one wrong word, it would confirm his words, and his sister would really cut off his living expenses.

"When are you planning to come clean with brother-in-law? I'm about to burst. Maybe one day I'll accidentally blurt out 'brother-in-law,' don't blame me!"

Gu Shiyu's eyes warned him, "I tested him that day. Song Yuan is a capable man with extremely strong self-esteem. He most likely cannot accept marrying a rich woman. Besides, Grandma is still upset with me. I plan to tell him when his career is a bit more successful."

Gu Shiyuan made himself at home as if he were in his own house, sitting on the sofa with his long legs stretched out. "Alright then, Gu Shiyu, peel me an apple. I'm a little hungry."

Gu Shiyu scoffed. "Are you getting too big for your britches? Are you taking advantage of me?"

Gu Shiyuan felt he could get the better of his sister for once. "You don't want to peel it for me? Alright then, I'll find brother-in-law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Song Yuan had come out of the kitchen at some point and was looking their way.
