Chapter 27 Female Rogue (Request for recommendations, favorites, and comments)

Gu Beihuai pinched Tang Chuxia's slender waist, his eyes wide as he stared at her.

Indeed...

Tang Chuxia was very satisfied.

That's how it should be!

She had said that the demure tea-girl act just wouldn't cut it; Gu Beihuai wasn't cooperating at all. Being straightforward is better.

When the car stopped, Tang Jianjun pulled his sister over and glared at Gu Beihuai.

"Since it was an accident, I won't chop off your paws this time!"

Gu Beihuai: F***

He nearly ground his molars to dust.

He finally realized, Tang Chuxia is absolutely mad!

She's not just a female hoodlum, but a full-on crazy woman.

As the car started up again, Tang Jianjun kept a wary eye on Gu Beihuai, reassuring Tang Chuxia, "Xiaxia, you wore enough clothes, so little Beihuai didn't get any advantage."

Tang Chuxia nervously glanced at Gu Beihuai.

Truth be told, she had made such a deep impression on her brothers that they couldn't believe she genuinely had feelings for Gu Beihuai.

Gu Beihuai, usually so sharp-tongued, was oddly quiet this time.

Wu Haipeng, pulling Qin Zhan aside, muttered softly, "Do you think Brother Huai really touched something? Otherwise, why is he so quiet?"

Qin Zhan nodded in agreement.

"Very likely!"

Gu Beihuai, who had exceptionally sharp ears, overheard his two brothers' conversation and sent a glare their way.

If looks could kill, he would have turned those resentful brothers into sieves.

Unfortunately for him, Wu Haipeng and Qin Zhan weren't scared and just grinned at him, silently giving him a thumbs-up.

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath, feeling certain if he died young, it would be due to these brothers.

Fortunately, their destination was not far; after two stations, they arrived. Tang Jianjun kept a close watch over Tang Chuxia, not giving her a chance to tease Gu Beihuai further.

As he got off the bus, Gu Beihuai gave Tang Chuxia a deep look.

"Stop staring; I won't come smash your windows tonight, really, trust me!"

Tang Chuxia said sweetly, avoiding her brothers' eyes, and winked at him.

Gu Beihuai: ...

This crazy woman, still fixated on climbing into bed.

As the bus drove away, Gu Beihuai still watched its direction, his expression fierce, like a wild beast.

Wu Haipeng gestured to Qin Zhan, and the two hurriedly pulled Gu Beihuai away.

"Brother Huai, Tang Chuxia is just a girl. Even though you two didn't get along before, you're both adults now; it really isn't necessary!"

Wu Haipeng spoke first.

Qin Zhan followed up: "Exactly, she just promised you, and she's upset about being dumped, so don't be petty with the girl!"

Gu Beihuai looked around and, grinding his teeth, kicked them both in the behind.

"Not necessary? Not necessary? I'll show you not necessary!!!"

Ashamed to admit that he'd been teased by Tang Chuxia, he could only vent his anger on his buddies.

Wu Haipeng and Qin Zhan, thinking that Gu Beihuai was furious because of Tang Chuxia, ran off shouting, "Man up, you can't be jealous just because you're still a virgin and Xiaxia almost got married!"

Gu Beihuai roared, "Why the hell would I be jealous?"

Realizing what he had just blurted out, he yelled again, "And I'm not a virgin!"

Qin Zhan and Wu Haipeng exchanged looks, sensing juicy gossip despite the risk of getting beaten, they quickly ran back and circled Gu Beihuai asking, "When did it happen?"

"With whom?"

"Just three seconds?"

"Could it really be a young widow?"

...

Gu Beihuai couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Shut up!"

He added another sentence, "I'm still a virgin!"

He had barely finished speaking when Qin Zhan and Wu Haipeng simultaneously snorted, "That's still a virgin, then!"

Gu Beihuai: These two need to be blown up!

Where do these weirdos come from?

Skipping how Gu Beihuai dealt with the two brothers, let's talk about Tang Chuxia and her older brothers arriving at their grandmother's house, only to be immediately scolded with a twist of the ear as they entered.

The old lady was especially spirited, almost in her eighties, neither hard of hearing nor visually impaired, and most notably, her voice was scandalously loud; once she started scolding, it wouldn't end in less than half an hour.

As much as Tang Chuxia was pampered at home, she was just as well-behaved in front of her grandmother.

Because the more the grandmother doted on her, the more she loved to scold her.

Tang Jianjun shivered and then helped his grandfather to call his older brother to the study for a talk.

What a joke!

If he had stayed, the crossfire would have caught them.

After all, dead comrades, but not dead Taoist priests!

With their sister holding the line against the fire, they could chat with peace of mind.

"You two little rascals, how come you found the time to come back?"

The grandfather asked with a smile, proud of his successful grandsons.

The two brothers talked with the old man about some military affairs. In his youth, the grandfather was a patriot. Although his family was in business, they always quietly supported the country's wars, and after the revolution, he aligned all the family assets with the state, even leaving the management to the state's arrangement.

Today, the Zheng Family's business is solidly red capital, barely affected by the waves around it.

Many people called the grandfather foolish for just handing over such vast assets. How could he bear it?

But the grandfather said, "As long as it allows my descendants to prosper, none of this matters!"

The old man was about to reminisce when he heard a loud shout from the yard, "Tang Chuxia, are you itching for a beating!!!"

Three grown men simultaneously shuddered.

"Shall we go out and look?"

Still, it was Tang Jianjun who, feeling a bit braver, suggested.

Tang Jianguo furrowed his brow, hesitating whether to go out or not.

It wasn't that he was worried about Tang Chuxia genuinely getting beaten by the old lady, more so whether they would catch fallout by stepping out.

Though the grandmother was almost eighty, her reputation as a fierce old woman with twin pistols had never been forgotten, especially as she aged without mellowing, always ready to throw hands.

If there were to accidentally throw out her back, whose fault would that be?

The grandfather also hesitated, wondering if heading out might get him in trouble with his wife.

After all, if the granddaughter was wrong, the grandfather was at fault too, and he feared being scolded by his wife—how would that look?

And so, the three men lined up at the study window to peek outside, not daring to make it obvious.

Perhaps knowing they were guilty, the grandfather leaned on the window frame to look outside, while Tang Jianjun and Tang Jianguo stooped low, only their eyes peeking over the windowsill.

"Did she hit her?"

Tang Jianguo, unable to see clearly, asked Tang Jianjun beside him.

Tang Jianjun then poked the grandfather, "Did she hit her?"

The old man shook his head like a rattle.

"I didn't see!"

Just then, the study door was pushed open by the grandfather's grandson, Zheng Daqing, who caught a glimpse of the three and couldn't help but show a gossip-hungry face as he came closer.

"Cousin, are you leading grandpa astray again? Be careful grandma makes you go clean the latrines!"

Zheng Daqing shouted out loud, and the hearts of the three men screamed, "Oh no!"

Sure enough, a loud shout came from the yard, "Zheng Youcai, you three little rascals, roll out here!"
