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

Chapter 416 The Beginning of Everything 7

Looking at the sweetly smiling child in front of him, Si Yan felt a chill run down his spine. His expression stiffened as he stared at the person before him, swallowing hard, his voice trembling slightly.

Gu Yao's smile remained unchanged as he said, word by word, "I said, I was just brought out of the mourning hall by Brother Xie."

Si Yan turned his head to look at Xie Gui, his trembling finger pointing at Gu Yao, "Xie Gui, is what he said true?"

Xie Gui was serving soup to the child when he heard Si Yan's question. He didn't even look up, but simply nodded slightly. "Yes, that's right."

It's true that they just brought the child out of the funeral hall.

Gu Yao was indeed the one he brought out of the mourning hall.

However, according to Xie Gui himself, he still prefers the children to say that he is the hero who saved him from danger.

Si Yan's gaze towards Xie Gui immediately changed. She stood up and slammed her hand on the table, making such a loud noise that Xie Gui almost spilled the soup in his hand.

He looked up at Si Yan with displeasure and handed the soup in his hand to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao looked at the exquisitely flawless hand in front of him and smiled brightly, "Thank you so much, brother."

Si Yan was already trembling with anger. He took a deep breath and said, "Xie Gui, it's not too late for you to turn yourself in now. If you don't stop now, you'll never get out of here for the rest of your life. If you turn yourself in now, you can still try to get leniency."

Xie Gui, who was serving himself soup: "..."

Gu Yao, who was drinking soup: "..."

Gu Yao glanced at Si Yan, who was filled with righteous indignation and high spirits, then turned to look at Xie Gui, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

"Is this guy out of his mind?"

Xie Gui reached out and touched the child's head. "He's fine, he just has a little mental problem."

Gu Yao nodded. "Oh, how pitiful."

He lowered his head and continued drinking his soup.

Si Yan was already trembling with anger after being subjected to such veiled insults. "Xie Gui, tell me, what grudge do you have against this child's parents that you not only killed them, but also brought such a young child back to continue torturing him! Are you even human?"

Si Yan's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.

Gu Yao and Xie Gui exchanged a glance and fell silent.

The tears dried and silence followed.

Xie Gui glanced at the man, not wanting to talk to him.

Talking to someone with intellectual disabilities can be contagious.

Seeing that Xie Gui remained silent, Si Yan assumed he had tacitly agreed and paced anxiously back and forth, muttering to himself, "Murder, and two of them, child trafficking, how many years will he get for this?"

"Xie Gui is the only son of the Xie family. Isn't his life ruined?"

"Will Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie beat me to death if they find out?"

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on Xie Gui and letting him go down this path of no return."

As the man's words became increasingly absurd, Xie Gui gently tapped the table, trying to attract Si Yan's attention, but Si Yan was already engrossed in her own world.

Seeing that the man was about to take out his phone to call the police and turn his own family against him, Gu Yao sighed, jumped off the chair, and tugged at Si Yan's sleeve, "Brother Si, Brother Si."

Si Yan snapped out of his daze and looked down at Gu Yao. Gu Yao grabbed his hand, pulled it down, took the phone from his hand, and gently shook it. "Brother Si, don't overthink it. Brother Xie is a good person."

Si Yan's eyes were hard to describe.

The look in his eyes was full of sympathy.

See? This kid's been completely fooled by Xie Gui.

Xie Gui sighed softly, stood up, and slapped Si Yan on the head. "Stop making things up all the time. This is Dr. Gu's child."

Si Yan scratched his head: "Oh... Ah?!"

He pointed at the smiling Gu Yao, his voice rising slightly, "This is Dr. Gu's child?!"

Xie Gui nodded, and Gu Yao sat back down and nodded as well. "If the Dr. Gu that Brother Si mentioned is called Gu Yanming, then he is my father."

When Gu Yao spoke of his father, a sense of melancholy arose within him. He lowered his eyelashes, his expression showing sadness.

Si Yan instantly felt guilty, a guilt like that of reopening a child's wounds.

Such a small child...

Then I lost my parents.

Pitiful.

Si Yan sat down next to Xie Gui, leaned close to Xie Gui's ear, and asked, "Xie Gui, what are you doing now?"

Xie Gui paused, stirring the soup with his spoon, and sighed softly. His gaze towards Si Yan was somewhat strange, as if he didn't understand why Si Yan would ask such an obvious question.

"Of course we'll take care of him."

Si Yan nodded, "Oh, you're going to take care of him...you're going to take care of him!"

Xie Gui didn't even spare a glance for Si Yan, but simply put a piece of roast duck into the child's bowl.

"Any questions?"

Si Yan choked, "What do you think?"

Xie Gui doesn't even have the surname Gu, so how could he adopt this child?

And Xie Gui, you're only eighteen, right?

He hasn't even turned nineteen yet, and he already wants to be a father?

Is it permitted under their laws?

Xie Gui could tell what Si Yan was thinking at a glance. He pointed at Gu Yao and said, "This child is destined to be with me."

A dark light flashed in Gu Yao's lowered eyes. Isn't this fate?

We were never meant to be, it's all because you spent money on me.

Five million, without even blinking an eye.

Isn't this fate?

Si Yan scratched her hair, looking at the person's smug expression, hesitant to speak.

Xie Gui seems determined.

He couldn't persuade him otherwise.

Xie Gui reached out and patted Gu Yao's head, his eyes full of satisfaction, as if he were looking at a work of art.

Si Yan: "..."

This doesn't feel like raising a child, it feels like raising a wife!

Si Yan raised his hand and touched his chin, as if he remembered something, and then reached out and grabbed Gu Yao's hand.

Gu Yao tilted his head in confusion and saw the young man in front of him trembling slightly, his face serious. "Little Yao, if Xie Gui treats you badly, I can take you under my wing..."

Xie Gui, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Si Yan on the head.

"Shut up!"

They dare to say anything outrageous.

What a terrible teammate!

That sounds like you're about to elope with a child.

Gu Yao rested his chin on his hand, watching the two of them with great interest.

Xie Gui straightened up and coughed twice. "Don't listen to his nonsense."

He seemed to sense that his complexion wasn't quite right, pursed his lips, and added, "I'll treat you very well."

As he spoke, Xie Gui nodded seriously.

Gu Yao smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Then thank you very much for taking me in, brother."

Xie Gui coughed lightly, his face slightly flushed, and sat down next to Gu Yao, placing a spring roll on the child's plate. "Eat more."

Gu Yao nodded.

Si Yan, who was ignored: "..."

Hello, is it me?

Does anyone care if I live or die?

As it turns out, there was none.

Xie Gui and Gu Yao were a loving and affectionate couple, while Si Yan was completely ignored.

Looking at Xie Gui's gentle expression, he sighed softly and put aside his doubts.

Maybe Xie Gui just wants a younger brother?
