Chapter 231 Being Jealous
Gu Nian became shyer when she found her dog Beta staring at her.
"Did you hear anything last night?"
Beta tilted its head and thought for a while. It was shrewd and cautious because it feared being not allowed to eat pork shanks.
"No, I didn't. I slept soundly last night."
It pretended not to hear Gu Nian moaning.
Gu Nian was amused by Beta's serious expression. She said with a smile, "Well, you can eat drumsticks today. I will punish you next time."
Beta felt aggrieved and howled.
It thought, "Nian still waits to punish me next time. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"Nian always does something surprising."
There suddenly came a snake's hiss. "Nian, I heard some noises last night."
Qing, the green snake raised by Gu Nian, climbed out of a drawer and said proudly.
It stayed in the drawer of the bedside table last night.
Gu Nian blushed scarlet instantly. "Don't talk nonsense! The room was quiet last night."
Qing tilted its head in puzzlement. "But..."
"How stupid you are! Shut up."
Beta immediately rushed over Qing and held it in its mouth.
Qing kept struggling and screamed in horror. "Nian, save me!"
Gu Nian raised her eyebrows and smiled. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes.
When she came out of the room again, Qing stayed motionless on the ground.
Beta flicked Qing with its paws.
Qing still didn't dare to move.
When Qing saw Gu Nian, it immediately slithered up to her.
Gu Nian grabbed Qing and twined it around her wrist. "It seems that I am wearing a beautiful jade bracelet."
Qing would be her secret weapon to take revenge in the future.
Qing was dejected. "Nian, I will pretend not to hear the movement in your room at night."
Beta taught Qing a lesson just now, so Qing realized its mistake.
Gu Nian's cheeks flush red. She poked Qing's head gently and then went downstairs.
Downstairs, the youngest Gu Master was making a video call with his elder brothers, showing off the shoes given by Gu Nian.
"Have you seen my new shoes? Nian bought them for me!"
"Have you received gifts from Nian?"
"I am the first one who got presents from Nian. So I am her favorite elder brother."
"Are you jealous? Are you upset?"
The youngest Gu Master focused the phone camera on his feet. The camera even zoomed in on his new shoes.
He laughed smugly.
His elder brothers were speechless and had an urge to punch him in the face.
They thought the youngest Gu Master was annoying.
Gu Nian stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched him wearing Si Yejue's slippers and flaunting them.
She was very embarrassed.
The youngest Gu Master noticed Gu Nian and hurriedly asked her to come over, "Nian, come here! Tell them the price of the shoes."
The price didn't matter at all.
The youngest Gu Master just wanted to show off his new shoes.
"Nian!"
Gu Nian's five elder brothers called her by name at the same time. She could feel their displeasure even if she was only making a video call with them.
Gu Nian heard Gu Yeting's voice. She asked Gu Yeting, who was her fourth elder brother.
"Have you completed your task?"
The rest of her elder brothers were lost for words.
They were so angry.
They didn't get new shoes from Gu Nian and were even neglected by her in the morning.
Gu Yeting said calmly, "Not yet. I am stealthily playing with my phone. I have to go back to work in three minutes."
He was not allowed to contact his family.
But before going to bed last night, he found the youngest Gu Master flaunting his new shoes on Wechat moment. Then he couldn't fall asleep.
It was because he thought that Gu Nian no longer regarded him as her favorite elder brother!
Gu Nian went downstairs and snatched the phone. She pointed the phone camera to her face.
"How are you? Are you safe? How long will it take to complete the task?"
Gu Nian gazed at Gu Yeting. She rested assured when she found that he was not injured and only looked tired.
Her other elder brothers snorted angrily at the same time.
Gu Nian looked up at the phone screen and felt awkward.
