With a "thud," the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

After dealing with the person in front of him, Chen Hao quickly turned around to look.

He saw a young, beautiful woman wearing a red bodysuit.

The form-fitting clothes perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look like a rose—alluring yet dangerous.

The woman turned to Gu Xingzhou and scolded him, "I always tell you to practice more, but you never do!"

Even trash like this managed to flee in such a sorry state.

Gu Xingzhou lowered his head and whispered his apology, "Sister, I was wrong. I will definitely practice martial arts properly from now on."

Today's crisis has made him realize that he can no longer afford to be lazy.

Chen Hao stepped forward and whispered his thanks to the woman, "Thank you for saving me."

Before his sister could answer, Gu Xingzhou quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Brother Hao, no need to be so polite. This is my sister, Gu Xinglan. We're all family."

"Who's family?" Gu Xinglan looked at her younger brother speechlessly.

He's already recognized a brother, why is he bringing her along too?

Gu Xingzhou chuckled twice, "Sis, thanks to Brother Hao today, otherwise I would have gotten a beating."

He's my brother, and also your brother.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan roared, "Who told you to shake off your bodyguards!"

My willful and reckless younger brother almost scared me to death today.

"Sis, I don't want to be followed."

"If you don't want to be followed, then practice your martial arts properly!"

......

After reprimanding her good-for-nothing brother, Gu Xinglan turned to Chen Hao, nodded slightly, and said coldly, "Thank you for saving my brother today."

Chen Hao smirked, "Xingzhou is my younger brother, so naturally I have to protect him."

Besides, Sister Lan, you saved me once too, so we're even.

Sister Lan? Who is your Sister Lan?

Gu Xinglan really wanted to retort, but seeing her silly younger brother fawning over her, she kept quiet.

She nodded slightly in response and then led the people out of the antique street.

Chen Hao and Gu Xingzhou followed behind.

After walking for a short while, I saw a row of luxury cars parked on the side of the street.

Gu Xingzhou opened a car door and waved to Chen Hao, "Brother Hao, where are you going? We'll give you a ride."

Chen Hao wanted to refuse, but after glancing at the time, he walked towards Gu Xingzhou and said, "Thank you very much. Please take me to Yuling Tianxia."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhou frowned slightly. "Brother Hao, there's no need to be so polite. We're good brothers."

Sitting in the car, Gu Xinglan looked at her unsuspecting and foolish younger brother and felt heartbroken.

I can't help but wonder if it was right to protect him so well before?

Chen Hao got into the car, sat up straight, and let Gu Xinglan look him up and down.

Gu Xingzhou turned his head and saw his older sister staring at Chen Hao. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Sis, do you like Brother Hao?"

"Ahem." Gu Xinglan coughed lightly, a blush rising to her cheeks, and reached out to slap Gu Xingzhou on the head. "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"

"Then why are you staring at Brother Hao?" Gu Xingzhou asked, puzzled. Then he tried to sell him, "Sis, if you're looking for a boyfriend, I recommend Brother Hao."

Don't let his age fool you; he's very mature and handsome.

There's a saying that goes, "A woman three years older than you is like a golden brick."

It would be so nice if Hao Ge were his brother-in-law; it would be like doubling the family ties.

Seeing her younger brother's increasingly outrageous remarks, Gu Xinglan sighed and rubbed her forehead. Could she possibly abandon this younger brother?

She interrupted Gu Xingzhou, who was about to continue, saying, "I'm not worried about getting married!"

Does she look like she'll never get married?

"But you're twenty-one and you still don't have a boyfriend."

After a pause, Gu Xingzhou continued, "That's right, with your savage nature, no one dares to mess with you."

"You brat, you're asking for it." Gu Xinglan raised his hand to strike Gu Xingzhou.

"Look at you, you resort to violence at the drop of a hat. Who would dare marry you? You should be secretly happy that Brother Hao is willing to marry you." Gu Xingzhou said as he dodged towards Chen Hao.

A smile appeared in Chen Hao's eyes, and then he subtly protected Gu Xingzhou, saying softly, "I'm getting engaged next month."

"What? Brother Hao, how old are you? You're already getting engaged?" Gu Xingzhou exclaimed in surprise.

Then he looked at Chen Hao with disappointment, "So you can't be my brother-in-law anymore?"

The plan to strengthen family ties was aborted before it could even be implemented.

Hearing this, Gu Xinglan felt a little uncomfortable. She snapped at Gu Xingzhou, "Gu Xingzhou! Your older sister doesn't lack men!"

She's the one who rejects others; she's never been rejected by anyone.

Suddenly, she reached up and slapped her head. What was she thinking?

They had no relationship to begin with, so what business was it of hers that he got engaged?!

She must have been led astray by her younger brother.

Seeing his sister's annoyed expression, Gu Xingzhou quickly changed the subject, "Brother Hao, send me your bank card number, we haven't divided the spoils yet."

The money from the bet, as well as the money from selling the store's prized possessions, are all in his possession.

Chen Hao did not refuse and gave Gu Xingzhou the card number.

A short while later, the money arrived in his account. Looking at the string of zeros, a smile flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen so much money in either his past or present life.

In his past life, although he was the true young master of the Chen family, the one who truly controlled the Chen family was his father, and he received a meager living allowance from the Chen family every month.

Now, he no longer has to live a life of having to be mindful of others' opinions.

Suddenly, his smile faltered. He turned to look at Gu Xingzhou, his brows furrowing slightly. "Xingzhou, you miscalculated the money. You gave him too much."

The bet plus the money for the store's prized possessions should have been 80 million, but Gu Xingzhou transferred 100 million.

Gu Xingzhou waved his hand magnanimously, "Oh, why should we be so calculating between us? Besides, I'm not short of money."

Chen Hao's face darkened, and he pursed his lips tightly. "That won't do. Even brothers should keep their accounts clear."

He only wanted to be friends with Gu Xingzhou and didn't want to fall out over matters of interest.

Seeing Chen Hao's anger, Gu Xingzhou quickly begged for forgiveness, "Brother Hao, I was wrong, please transfer the money to me."

Chen Hao picked up his phone and transferred the money.

Seeing this, Gu Xinglan nodded quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, and not greedy for money.

If she weren't so young, she could really be my boyfriend.

Chen Hao and Gu Xingzhou chatted for a while, and then the car stopped at a luxury mansion.

Watching Chen Hao get off the car, Gu Xingzhou said reluctantly, "Brother Hao, we'll meet at school next Monday."

If he hadn't known that Hao was going to his school, he would have loved to go back with Hao.

See you Monday.

After saying this, Chen Hao turned and walked towards the mansion without hesitation.

The Nan family is one of the most prestigious and powerful families in Licheng, and even holds a prominent position nationwide.

If it weren't for the daughter's disability, the Chen family wouldn't have been the ones to arrange the marriage.

Led by the servants of the Nan family, Chen Hao had just stepped into the living room when he heard his good younger brother's provocation, "Uncle, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. He didn't mean to be late."

Please don't blame my brother, he'll be there soon.
