Became a vicious male mother

18: Completely fearless

The child's praise was too direct, and Gu Xinglan stood there frozen in place.

"Big brother?" Geng Yi coughed.

"Alright, hello Xingxing." Gu Xinglan turned her head to the side, her expression becoming slightly unnatural.

Geng Yi wanted to see this person smile again, but the person refused to turn around no matter what.

Gu Xinglan was covered in a cold sweat.

He seemed to remember...

The Geng family does have a second son, but this second son is a high-IQ criminal. He delivered a huge crime to the Geng family as soon as he turned eighteen, selling the Geng family's trade secrets to the Yu family, the Li family, the Meng family... The secrets were sent to eight major families, and he ran away with the money. No one knows how this person bypassed the Geng family's proud physical security system, monitoring system and firewall, which prompted the main family in Huangkou to issue an arrest warrant, regardless of life or death!

It's generally accepted within the circle that the Geng family of Wushui only has one son.

And now, the highly intelligent criminal who will unleash a shocking commercial crime more than a decade later is right next to him.

Gu Xinglan felt uneasy at the thought.

Geng Yi, standing beside him, had already turned cold, staring indifferently at half of Gu Xinglan's head.

"Big brother, why aren't you looking at me?"

"Of course I'll see," Gu Xinglan replied with a professional, fake smile.

Unless they are genetically driven by something, most criminals have an indelible childhood trauma.

The severity can vary.

……

This wasn't the kind of smile he wanted.

Geng Yi lowered his eyes, then looked up again after a while, gazing at Gu Xinglan with a barking voice: "Did I scare you just now?"

I just wanted to praise this person; he's never seriously praised anyone before.

"No, how could that be?" Gu Xinglan hugged her knees and shook her head. "I was looking for other exits."

Upon hearing Gu Xinglan's words, Geng Yi's face inevitably darkened for a moment: "Are you going back?"

Gu Xinglan thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it's getting late."

"It's only 7 p.m. now." Geng Yi took out his diamond-encrusted watch, and the electronic screen on the dial showed 7 p.m.

He just went out for a meal, never expecting to encounter these things. Gu Xinglan was about to brush off the child next to him when a gust of cold wind swept in.

There were people sitting in the chairs in front of them...

His legs were crossed, and the tips of his shoes were pointing at them...

How are we supposed to get out now?

Seeing Gu Xinglan's awkward and uncomfortable expression, Geng Yi chuckled inwardly and wrote on Gu Xinglan's arm with his finger: [Let's hide together.]

Gu Xinglan ignored the child's playful mood and took a closer look at the shoe tips in front of her. The more she looked, the more familiar the shoes seemed.

Lu Yinian?

Aren't these the shoes Lu Yinian wore today?

It takes no effort at all.

He was about to call out to Lu Yinian when he heard the conversation above and stopped himself from speaking.

"Didn't you call Gu Xinglan over?"

Lu Yinian, holding a knife and fork, unceremoniously stabbed a piece of beef into his mouth and said, "Why did you call him over? To be exploited by you?"

Pei Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled a few times: "I'm not going to eat him, what? Just because I came here doesn't mean he can come here?"

"Come on, you're dating the company's CEO now, are you having a blast? Resources are practically yours for the taking, so just let him go."

Pei Xiao remained noncommittal, her raised eyebrows revealing her current mood.

System: [His name is Pei Xiao.]

Hearing this name, a faint sense of fear arose in my heart, my heart seemed to beat too fast, and there was even a slight excitement.

Is there anything wrong with the character design?

Gu Xinglan squatted until her legs went numb, so she simply sat down on the floor.

Now we're stuck in a dilemma.

The child next to him was also tired, his head swaying back and forth as if it were about to fall on Lu Yinian's feet.

Gu Xinglan quickly steadied the child's head.

The child's head slammed into Gu Xinglan's arms again.

Kids are great; they can fall asleep anytime they're tired from playing.

Gu Xinglan was about to help the child steady when someone sat down in the chair next to Lu Yinian.

Now that there are feet in all directions, how are they supposed to dodge?

Gu Xinglan had no choice but to pick up the child and curl up into a ball.

Slightly furrowed brows, weariness in the eyes, and a faint fragrance—like a cradle, a mother's cradle.

Geng Yi originally didn't want to sleep; he just wanted to tease this self-righteous person. But now he's actually a little sleepy.

It feels like this person's very bones are the ideal shape he envisions.

Gu Xinglan was completely focused.

The sounds of conversation coming from outside the table were in my ears:

Lu Yinian said with a forced smile, "Didn't the boss say last time that he wanted to personally create a program?"

"The specific name hasn't been decided yet, but we have a plan."

“There is an urban village on the outskirts of Wushui that needs some recognition. I think both the Li and Yu families have ideas for its development.”

"There? I think that works too. We can find a few school-age children from impoverished families there and swap them with a few rich kids from the city. That should generate some buzz, right?"

"The Li family? Does the Li family have any children?"

"Rather than saying he has one, it's more accurate to say he's an illegitimate child, haha, but the Yu family has confirmed it."

"Both of them wanted to find a reason to develop it."

"Let the children experience it, then use charity as a pretext, and you'll have a reason, right? As long as you do a good job in front of the public..."

Gu Xinglan raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes.

If Lai Ho-Tai goes on this show, what will happen to his elimination time?

He has less than three days left.

This is like roasting him over a fire.

System: [Why don't you join too? There's always a solution.]

As if to cater to the system, someone outside the table said, "Xiao Wang went to investigate the urban villages in Wushui. Sixty percent of them are migrant workers from other places, or people from rural areas who have come to the city to work. They can't even speak clearly."

"If they're all just ordinary people, how can the script be acted out?"

"The company has a few inexperienced people who could be used."

Lu Yinian coughed a few times and smiled shyly, "I remember that someone from the company lives there."

The people at the table were intrigued: "Tell me about it."

"Gu Xinglan".

Gu Xinglan, who was under the table, was startled when her name was mentioned.

Even the half-asleep Geng Yi was startled by Gu Xinglan's tense muscles. He grabbed Gu Xinglan's arm in annoyance and wrote with his finger: [Big brother, don't you want to participate? I can help you.]

The writing process was extremely slow and crooked, but Gu Xinglan could still make out the writing.

This kid might actually be able to get things done.

Gu Xinglan quickly shook her head.

If he could participate, he definitely would, and it would be best if he were in the same group as Li Hetai.

Geng Yi was completely awakened by Gu Xinglan's head-shaking and rejection gestures, and stared intently at Gu Xinglan's smooth chin.

[Then I want to participate too.]

He wrote with unwavering determination through the fabric.

Gu Xinglan glanced at the child in her arms.

Why is this kid meddling in this?

But he kept a straight face and shook his head repeatedly at Geng Yi.

Regardless of whether the company's program plan has been finalized or not, the safety issue alone means that innocent people should not be allowed to enter.

Although this person is a potential criminal.

But right now, this person is just a child.

Unlike Li Hetai, he had nothing to fear.
