Shen Qing didn’t care about the child’s small fist and the action of looking out.

He just couldn’t help thinking about the ending of “Shen Qing” in the future.

As a small cannon fodder, “Shen Qing” actually got more scenes when he died.

…In order to appease the readers’ rage towards this vicious cannon fodder, the author used two and a half chapters to describe in detail how he was tortured and humiliated by his two sons, lost all his face, and died from abuse.

Shen Qing: …

Sigh! Why bother.

It’s not like Gu Huaiyu didn’t leave an inheritance for his wife after he died!

Besides, “Shen Qing” would be the guardian until the two children reached eighteen. Just the money in the children’s education fund could add up to hundreds of millions in education and living expenses.

Living in a big villa, ordering the nanny at home, and taking good care of the children with these hundreds of millions of yuan, isn’t that nice? Why do you have to look down on other people’s children and be so greedy to swallow all the inheritance?

Shen Qing felt very content and thought that even if it was just for him to live a few more years in the future without being tortured to death by the two villains, he had to be nice to the children in front of him now.

So Shen Qing said with heartache: “It’s Aunt’s fault. It’s all my fault. I apologize to you and Ao Zai. Don’t worry, from today on, I will take good care of you and Ao Zai!”

As he spoke, Shen Qing really revealed a bit of true emotion.

—After all, the big boss will be gone in a few months, and only he and the two children will depend on each other…

Maybe he could also not want the hundreds of millions in the fund account, and send these two children along with those hundreds of millions to someone who genuinely likes children to take care of them, and he can visit them regularly…

Thinking that his fate with these two children might only last a few months, Shen Qing subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch Gu Duo’s hair.

No way, although this child is thin, he is just like all children who haven’t grown up yet, his head is big!

With a big head and baby fat, he is so cute even with a straight face!

But Gu Duo dodged the hand Shen Qing stretched out.

Not only dodging, Gu Duo almost violently pulled open the door and left Shen Qing’s bedroom directly.

…Having tasted the coldness and warmth of human feelings after becoming an orphan, Gu Duo’s temper was not good, but he had always been able to endure.

It was the first time that such irritable emotions appeared directly on his face.

…How, how did that man suddenly become like this?!

Running dejectedly to the end of the villa corridor, arriving at the corner, Gu Duo’s voice was very low: “Uncle.”

In the corridor on the other side, Gu Huaiyu called Gu Duo to him: “Duo Duo, what do you want to tell me?”

He still sat upright in the wheelchair, his aura cold and dignified, aloof and noble, difficult to approach like frost and snow.

Gu Duo’s lips moved, but in the end he said nothing more, just shook his head.

Originally, that person’s head was broken and he fainted. His uncle asked him what happened. After Gu Duo took the initiative to admit that he knocked the other party down, he thought of using this trick to arrange for his uncle to eavesdrop outside.

He didn’t say why he ran to eavesdrop, so it wasn’t a violation of that person’s order not to complain.

And according to that person’s past temper, as long as there was no one around, he would never give him a good look.

And this time, they brothers caused the man to suffer such a serious injury again…

Last time Gu Ao just glared at him simply, the man jumped into a rage, beating and scolding!

This time Gu Duo took the initiative to enter the door to receive punishment, thinking that seeing him would undoubtedly expose the other party’s nature, and then his uncle would know the true face of that person.

…Knowing his true face, it wasn’t him who complained.

Presumably Little Uncle wouldn’t blame him for causing trouble.

But unexpectedly…

That person showed a very gentle smile to him.

…Gu Duo didn’t believe that person’s brain could think that he had arranged for Little Uncle to eavesdrop in advance.

But he also really couldn’t figure out which step went wrong?

Thinking of the clear eyebrows and盈盈 (brimming/charming) smile of that person inside the room just now, Gu Duo pursed his lips tightly, confused in his heart, but said no more.

He dragged Little Uncle over to eavesdrop, which was already a waste of the other party’s time.

And when he was in the Gu family, he had always heard that Little Uncle had a bad temper and poor health.

…Big Uncle was always smiling and in good health, but he still punished them not to eat because he and Ao Zai “wasted his time”…

Gu Duo is now just glad that he didn’t bring Ao Zai this time.

Gu Huaiyu looked deeply at Gu Duo, whose face was solemn. He had left the sickbed for too long today, and the discomfort had spread to his whole body, even speaking began to make him breathless.

But he still maintained patience: “Tell Uncle… cough cough, what exactly did you want to show me?”

Gu Duo still only shook his head and didn’t speak.

Gu Huaiyu was helpless and couldn’t help coughing lightly for a while. Then facing the child, he moved his fingertips, seemingly wanting to touch Gu Duo’s head.

But the hand with protruding veins and rugged back ultimately didn’t rise.

Seeing that Gu Duo still had no intention of speaking, Gu Huaiyu said: “Go rest.”

Gu Duo nodded again, looking incredibly obedient.

After Gu Duo left, Gu Huaiyu glanced at the wall beside him, then slid the wheelchair and appeared in the corridor directly facing the first-floor bedroom.

Not far away, Shen Qing’s door was open.

The light projected from inside the room shone on the floor of the corridor outside. At the junction of light and shadow, the young man named Shen Qing stood there.

Looking at himself with a peaceful face.

.

A moment ago, right after Gu Duo rushed out the door and ran away, Shen Qing thought for a moment, found something from his room, and chased out with it.

And he also happened to hear a low but clear voice from around the corner of the corridor asking Gu Duo what exactly he wanted to show him.

…No need to ask, that voice belonged to Gu Huaiyu.

Only then did Shen Qing realize that Gu Duo coming to apologize to him was setting a trap for him.

Worthy of being the future big villain boss, the big boss Gu Duo whom even the rebellious Little Long Aotian has to obey!

…Sigh.

Shen Qing thought, it seems that he really transmigrated too late. That child already has the flavor of a sinister villain now.

Sighing in his heart, he was also a little afraid of his future fate of possibly being tortured to death, but Shen Qing didn’t have much criticism or anger towards the child Gu Duo.

Firstly, the original owner did wrong in the first place, and he wasn’t the original owner, so he couldn’t do things like blaming others blindly.

Secondly, it was also because Shen Qing actually pitied and sympathized with Gu Duo a little bit.

When he was a child, his parents died in a car accident, and he also experienced the feeling of spending his days in relatives’ houses, being pushed around.

It’s just that he was lucky and didn’t encounter so many superb relatives in the book.

He was also lucky to have a grandmother who took the initiative to come from her hometown to pick him up and had been working hard to take care of and raise him. Although the living conditions were a bit poor, at least he didn’t suffer any more dislike or abuse.

Thinking of his grandmother who passed away three years ago, Shen Qing suddenly felt sad.

Three years ago, he happened to be interning in his senior year and found a job with a good income. He thought he could let his grandmother enjoy a happy life from then on, but unexpectedly…

“You, cough cough… what’s wrong?”

A somewhat hoarse voice sounded again, and Shen Qing realized that Gu Huaiyu was already very close to him.

…The big boss’s electric wheelchair is of really good quality, it doesn’t make any sound!

On the wheelchair, Gu Huaiyu, sitting with his back straight, looked at him: “Does the wound hurt?”

Shen Qing: “Ah?”

Gu Huaiyu: “Your eyes are very red. Do you need to call a doctor?”

“Oh, hi.”

Shen Qing quickly wiped his eyes and cheered up to express: “It’s okay.”

“Really okay?”

“Really okay.”

Gu Huaiyu looked at him, with a hint of imperceptible scrutiny in his eyes.

He found that the young man with gauze wrapped around his head still faced him directly, without any avoidance.

His eyes were clear and bright, the corners of his eyes were red, carrying the sleepiness of just waking up.

The gauze on top of his head and his pale face gave the young man a fragile feeling.

Fragile, but not pretentious.

Gu Huaiyu was silent for a moment, then continued: “No matter what, it was the children who hurt you. I apologize on their behalf.”

“Ah no no no.”

Shen Qing dared not accept this apology.

But what made it difficult was that he couldn’t tell the truth that “he” deserved it, nor could he dump the blame on the little cubs, saying things like “children are all naughty like this”.

Finally, Shen Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: “The matter between me and the children, we can solve it ourselves.”

Finding that he had thought of an excellent rhetoric, Shen Qing’s eyes brightened, and he said with certainty: “After all, I am also their Little Aunt. A family cannot have two family feuds! You don’t need to worry about it.”

Gu Huaiyu: “…”

Every word Shen Qing spat out was the truth. But before this, no one had ever dared to speak to Gu Huaiyu like this.

Even the legitimate young master of the Shen family, Shen Yuan, dared not.

Let alone Shen Qing.

However, Shen Qing is not from this world. Neither the original plot nor the original owner’s memory is complete. He has no sense of substitution and does not understand the hierarchical order of the wealthy world.

He couldn’t comprehend how terrifying Gu Huaiyu was, so he didn’t fear Gu Huaiyu.

If one says he was awed by the other’s aura, that still exists.

But Shen Qing’s mind was clear at this moment, knowing that no matter how strong Gu Huaiyu was, he was just a dying person… Here there was no contempt similar to the original owner’s. Shen Qing merely objectively quoted the description of Gu Huaiyu’s state before death in the book—

“Gu Huaiyu was already tired of living and was ready to welcome death”.

Look at his lifeless appearance. A person about to die, what can he still stir up?

At this moment, the other party probably doesn’t want anything.

At most, he is thinking about leaving more inheritance for his two little nephews.

So as long as he doesn’t bully the children and doesn’t make any big mistakes, he won’t be divorced.

Like the original owner who was disgusted inside but still had to pretend to care about the children in front of the big boss, living in fear was simply superfluous.

Standing out at this moment, Shen Qing treated the two children generously as their Little Aunt. Even if he didn’t particularly like them, being open and aboveboard was more in line with President Gu’s wishes.

It would also make Shen Qing feel much more relaxed.

Reliving a life, he didn’t want to continue living an uncomfortable life.

And he just needs to wait to get his own inheritance, no additional income is needed, so he won’t deliberately pretend to like children so much to please Gu Huaiyu!

Thanks to the original owner being usually cowardly and not daring to communicate with Gu Huaiyu.

I guess the other party doesn’t understand his personality yet…

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaiyu suddenly said: “You seem to have changed a lot today.”

Shen Qing: “???”

Mr. Gu sitting in the wheelchair was still domineering. Except for his pale face and occasional coughs, he didn’t look like a sick person at all.

Gu Huaiyu looked at Shen Qing: “You talk more, and feel different somewhere.”

Shen Qing: “…”

Gu Huaiyu: “Besides, didn’t you say before that you dared not be the children’s aunt?”

His voice was deep. Because of his weak body, some sentences were paused word by word, but they were sonorous and forceful, with clear logic.

Shen Qing: “…”

Shen Qing’s expression froze slightly.

The original owner seemed to have really said that.

But the context at that time was that the original owner had just obtained the marriage certificate with Gu Huaiyu, and Mr. Gu immediately paid him the first post-marital living allowance—a full one million yuan.

And added a sentence: “From today on, you are another uncle to the children, equivalent to an aunt. I am in poor health, I hope you can fulfill your promise and take care of and accompany them more.”

As a worker for the Shen family, although the original owner was used to seeing the scenery of wealthy families, he had not actually experienced being rich.

It was the first time he held a real check with such a large amount in his hand, and his eyes went straight at that time.

And he was very afraid of Gu Huaiyu. The ingrained, innate fear of superiors made him flattered instantly, and he said directly: “No no, how dare I be their aunt, I am not qualified… Mr. Gu, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of them in the future.”

The tone was humble, directly classifying himself into the ranks of childcare nannies…

In this way, his behavior of claiming to be the aunt just now was indeed very strange.

Shen Qing didn’t expect Mr. Gu to remember such a trivial matter so clearly!

What about being terminally ill and lifeless, no longer interested in anything?

Remembering everything is too internally consuming!

No wonder the body can’t recover well.

Sigh!

But Shen Qing didn’t panic either.

No matter how early Gu Huaiyu died in the book, he was after all the person who laid the foundation for the Gu family’s later glory and scenes.

It is normal not to be easily fooled.

So long before talking to the big boss, Shen Qing had thought of a strategy. If it was really detected that something was wrong, he could still say…

“Oh, it’s because I am very shy with strangers.”

“Hmm?” Gu Huaiyu tilted his head, his handsome side face hidden in the shadow, inexplicably revealing a bit of depth, making people wonder what he was thinking.

Shen Qing: “Cough.”

Expecting that the high-end, atmospheric, and very capable big boss might really not understand the words of a commoner like himself, Shen Qing considerately gave a detailed explanation: “Shy with strangers means being afraid to get along with people I’m not familiar with.”

Gu Huaiyu: “…”

But still responded: “Mn.”

Trying to maintain patience.

Shen Qing: “So I was just very afraid of you at the beginning!”

“Just very afraid at the beginning…?” Gu Huaiyu’s expression was strange. All along, he was only used to others being afraid of him.

“Then now…”

“Then now we are already very familiar, so I’m not afraid anymore! I can let go too.”

Shen Qing smiled, and let go all the way, leaning forward familiarly: “Don’t you think this makes sense, Hubby~”

Gu Huaiyu: …

“Cough cough cough!”
