Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

As soon as Gu Cheng got busy, he forgot the time. When he looked out the window again, the sun was already setting in the west.

Golden light fell on the delicate lilies in bloom, and the fragrant fragrance shocked his tired spirit.

He rubbed his joints, tilted his neck back, and then stood up to pick up the teapot on the coffee table that was in intelligent heat preservation mode.

After drinking the warm water, Gu Chengcai slowly walked out of the study.

But as soon as he went out, he suddenly found James with his back to him and an apron tied around his waist, cooking something.

The smoke was sucked out by the range hood, and the gurgling sound covered up the sound of him opening the door.

Gu Cheng stopped outside the kitchen, his eyes darkened: "Why haven't you left yet?"

James seemed to be startled, and the spoon he was stirring suddenly fell down and fell into the thin porridge, splashing out traces of sticky soup.

"Ah!" He exclaimed and stepped away, but drops of water still fell on the back of his hand.

Gu Cheng's body moved, but his movement stopped the next moment.

He couldn't give James any more wrong information.

"Brother~" He raised the back of his burned hand to show him, and said in an aggrieved tone: "My hand was burned, woo~ will there be any scars?"

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Rush it with cold water first, and I'll get the burn medicine."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any regrets.

As soon as he left, James stopped posing for pictures. After washing away the water marks, he walked obediently into the living room and watched Gu Cheng turn his back to him to look for medicine.

Although the others were obedient and motionless, they kept mouthing.

"Brother, I made your favorite seafood porridge. Auntie said that you loved seafood when you were in his belly, so I specially asked my chef to learn how to make it."

When Gu Cheng heard about seafood, the painful memories of his childhood rushed to his face.

He paused and didn't look back.

"Although cooking porridge is simple, I am too stupid and always burn my hands. But it doesn't matter if I burn my hands. I just want to be happy eating."

At this time, Gu Cheng had already held the burn ointment in his hand, and the treatment instrument was pushed by his other hand.

"Hand out."

Gu Cheng sat two feet away from him and spoke coldly.

James also shut up at the right time, and moved the back of his white hand and his entire body a step.

Gu Cheng: "..."

"Brother, hurry up and apply it for me, otherwise I will have scars on my hands. What will I do if my uncle asks me tomorrow?"

James urged, wagging his finger and giving him a tick.

Gu Cheng took a deep breath, grabbed his hand, and applied the paste neatly.

"Brother, your hands are so big and your fingers are so long. Compared with yours, my hands are small, fleshy, and not pretty at all."

He sighed again: "If I am no longer beautiful because of the scars, how should I find a boyfriend in the future?"

Gu Cheng quickly stuffed his hand into the treatment device. Although he said nothing, James could see his forbearance from his slightly faster pace and tense shoulder muscles.

He shrank his neck weakly and did not make any more remarks.

The therapeutic device beeped, and the back of James' hand returned to its original state.

He looked over and over at the back of his hand, which had no trace of any trace, and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you for helping me apply the medicine."

Suddenly, he stood up: "It's getting late, so I'm going home first. The seafood porridge will be ready in half an hour. Remember to drink it!"

Gu Cheng hummed in response, James took the clothes he had changed and put his slippers back in place.

Before leaving, he waved to Gu Cheng who was standing on the steps and said, "Brother, I'm leaving. Remember to change into a suitable pair of slippers for me next time. I wear size 38, don't forget."

Without waiting for Gu Cheng to answer, the dark red door was quickly closed.

In the quiet room, apart from the faint scent of burn ointment, the air was also filled with the salty aroma of seafood porridge being cooked in the kitchen.

Gu Cheng sank into the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.

The little monster finally left.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a message popped up on his computer.

A soft voice with a faint smile came from it.

[Brother, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, Huaxi Pavilion, remember to come. 】

[I didn’t lie to you about uncle, but he changed the time temporarily. When I received it, I was already at your house. I didn’t mean it. 】

Gu Cheng glanced at it and after reading all the information, he said softly: "Come on, it will be gone again tomorrow."

This is the horror of James.

He is the youngest son in the family, and because of his poor health when he was a child, it was difficult to feed him, so the whole family pampered him and pampered him.

I just hope that he is safe and alive and healthy.

Not to mention that his family is an energy giant. This kind of technology oligarch who made his fortune by relying on technology has many patents and technologies in his hands. Even if he wants to be liquidated, it is difficult to kill him with a stick.

What's more, he is still a loyal member of the royal family and will spend a lot of time together in the future.

So if they can make good friends, Gu Cheng is not willing to offend this behemoth.

At this moment, Gu Cheng's ambition was soaring and his desire for power reached its peak.

Beauty is a resource, but now he does not have the strength to preserve it.

Although if he is willing, the head branch of the Qi family should welcome his return.

However, his biological father died three years ago, the main branch of the Qi family has withered away, and the side branches are gradually growing, making the internal disputes entering a fierce stage.

Now that he enters the game alone, it is tantamount to dying.

The most ideal situation is that he shines under His Highness and reaches a high position through merit and political achievements.

Entering the game after losing both sides is the best opportunity to protect yourself and Gu Pan.

The next morning

Gu Cheng changed into a blue formal suit and stepped into the door of Huaxi Pavilion.

Sure enough, James was sitting in the waiting area, turning the pages of the book from time to time, but his eyes were always aimed in the direction of the door.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Brother~"

He trotted closer again: "You're here."

"Why don't you go in? Wouldn't it be better to let your uncle wait?"

On such occasions, Gu Cheng always behaves more gently.

This is why James is willing to take him to various parties that he doesn't like.

James grabbed his wrist, and when he struggled, he whispered: "Don't move!"

"Brother, I told my uncle that you were my male partner, so he was willing to let you in."

Gu Cheng shook him off, stood a step away from him, and said, "I came here by invitation, and I don't need your connections to get in."

James obviously didn't expect this, and actually watched him in a daze as he strode to the door and entered the party smoothly.

At this time, Gu Cheng raised his lips slightly and blended comfortably into a group of official veterans.
