Chen Hao chuckled, rubbing his forehead, then changed the subject, "I asked you to help me find a place to stay, but I can't afford the place you found."

The tens of millions he just earned probably wouldn't be enough to buy a single floor here.

Gu Xingzhou waved his hand dismissively, "This is my family's vacant villa in Licheng. The environment here is nice and it's perfect for you to live in."

"So where do you two siblings live?"

“We live in our ancestral home.”

The Gu family started in Licheng, but by the time of Gu Xingzhou's grandfather, they had developed even better and moved to the capital, where their descendants have remained ever since.

However, the Gu family's roots are in Licheng, and their ancestral home there has been well preserved.

As a direct descendant of the Gu family, it was only natural for him to live in the ancestral home, leaving his residence here vacant.

Chen Hao carefully examined the villa, his heart filled with excitement, and a smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Gu Xingzhou and said, "I can't afford to buy this villa, so I'll pay you rent at market price."

Although the monthly rent is certainly not cheap, he really likes it.

It seems he needs to speed up his money-making plan; he's getting anxious as his savings dwindle.

"Brother Hao, you can stay as long as you want, it's free," Gu Xingzhou said with a smile.

He's not short of money, so why would he accept money from his good brother?

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao stood up and walked outside, saying, "Never mind then, if it's free, I won't stay here."

Even close brothers keep clear accounts; he didn't want money to get involved in his relationship with Gu Xingzhou.

Gu Xingzhou grew anxious as he watched Chen Hao about to walk out the door.

He quickened his pace to catch up, reached out and grabbed Chen Hao's hand, and said in a conciliatory tone, "Brother Hao, don't go. I'll collect the rent, okay?"

But they only accept half.

Chen Hao stopped, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. He turned to Gu Xingzhou and said firmly, "Not a penny less."

"Hey, let me finish. I want to live here too, and you only need to pay half the rent," Gu Xingzhou explained anxiously.

Chen Hao looked at Gu Xingzhou in surprise, "You don't live in the ancestral home?"

“There are too many rules in the ancestral home, and nobody talks to anyone,” Gu Xingzhou muttered under his breath, then reached out and shook Chen Hao’s arm. “Brother Hao, I want to live with you.”

"alright."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Gu Xingzhou immediately made a phone call, and soon all his luggage was moved here.

Gu Xinglan followed.

Chen Hao was dumbfounded as he watched the maid carry Gu Xinglan's luggage into the guest room. Was this a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

"Sister Lan, are you staying here too?"

Gu Xinglan nodded casually, "I don't feel comfortable letting my silly little brother live outside. If he lives here, we can spar every day without having to travel back and forth, which is more convenient."

The reason was impeccable, and Chen Hao responded blankly, "Oh, then please take care of me in the future."

Something felt off, but Chen Hao couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

They're just roommates, no need to overthink it.

The Gu siblings moved into the villa, and their bodyguards and servants moved in with them.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner, Chen Hao finally realized what was strange. He wasn't living together; it was as if he had moved into the Gu family's house.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You guys eat first, I'll cook myself."

"Brother Hao, you can cook?" Gu Xingzhou looked at Chen Hao with admiration.

No wonder he's his brother; he's skilled in kung fu and can cook. He's really amazing.

Chen Hao recalled unpleasant memories, his face darkened slightly, and he replied indifferently, "I can do a little."

Those are memories from Chenjia Village, where he had to fetch water and cook every day before dawn.

If the adoptive parents are in a good mood after the food is prepared, they will give the child a bite to eat; if they are in a bad mood, the child will go hungry.

Fortunately, he would secretly go up the mountain to find food, otherwise he would have starved to death.

"Brother Hao, can I eat the food you made?" Gu Xingzhou looked at him expectantly.

Seeing his expression, Chen Hao nodded helplessly, "Of course."

When Gu Xinglan saw that Chen Hao was going to cook for himself, she quickly stopped him, saying, "The food is already prepared, so come and eat. Why bother cooking for yourself?"

Finally, she added, "There's no need to worry about so much."

Gu Xingzhou, belatedly realizing what was happening, looked at Chen Hao with disappointment. "Brother Hao, you don't treat me like a brother. Otherwise, why would you be so clear about things with us?"

His good friend's decision to start a new business was too hurtful to him.

“I…” Chen Hao sighed, “Then we’ll split the monthly accommodation and food expenses.”

Make money! I must make as much money as possible!

Otherwise, if he eats like that every day, his savings won't last long.

Even though the Chen family is quite wealthy, they've never eaten like this before.

There are also different levels among the wealthy.

“Okay, let’s split it evenly.” Gu Xingzhou nodded vigorously in agreement, then turned his head to look at Gu Xinglan with a proud expression, as if to say, “Am I amazing?”

Gu Xinglan sighed, not wanting to look at her silly younger brother, and picked up her knife and fork to start eating.

"Sis, how can you eat first?" Gu Xingzhou shouted, then pulled Chen Hao toward the dining table. "Brother Hao, let's hurry up, or my sister will eat it all."

"You brat, can't you stop slandering me?" Gu Xinglan glared at Gu Xingzhou through gritted teeth.

She really didn't want this younger brother anymore; he was constantly slandering her.

Is she really that greedy?

As Chen Hao walked towards her, Gu Xinglan unconsciously slowed down her eating pace, gracefully enjoying the food in front of her.

"I didn't..."

Listening to the two bickering, Chen Hao's lips curled up, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Living with these two siblings will surely make life more lively in the future.

The next day.

Chen Hao got into Gu Xingzhou's car, and they went to school together.

Everyone looked at Chen Hao walking with Gu Xingzhou with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Having married into the Gu family, I'll never have to worry about a good life again.

Having seen that look in his eyes yesterday, Chen Hao calmly walked towards the classroom.

Gu Xingzhou, his face cold and his brows slightly furrowed, casually remarked to those around him, "Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Upon hearing this, everyone averted their gaze, not daring to look again.

Chen Hao looked at Gu Xingzhou, who exuded an imposing aura, feeling both surprised and envious, but without a trace of jealousy.

That's the confidence he comes from his family; he can't be jealous of it.

However, he will strive to become someone that everyone looks up to; if five years isn't enough, then ten.

It doesn't matter if you come from a poor background; as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still become a successful person.

Don't bully young poor!

When Chen Hao arrived at his classroom, he was about to enter when the head of the teaching department stopped him, saying, "You can't go in."

"Why?" Chen Hao asked, puzzled.

"The Chen family called early this morning to say that you're not going to school anymore. We've canceled your student status, and you're no longer a student at Boda Academy." The dean of students gave Chen Hao a disdainful look.

The nanny's son should behave himself. Yesterday, he embarrassed the Chen family's young master in front of the whole class. Do you think the Chen family will let him off the hook?

Sure enough, they called first thing this morning.

In order to curry favor with the Chen family, he canceled Chen Hao's enrollment without delay.
