Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 400: Filial Piety Makes You Strong

The day of the auction.

Gu Cheng had classes and didn’t have time to accompany his sister, so he picked out a traditional style dress for her. Knowing she was lively and active, he also had her wear leggings and styled her hair into twin buns with pretty beaded flowers.

Tuanzi looked in the full-length mirror, spun around, and seeing the smile in Gu Cheng’s eyes, she eagerly threw herself into his arms. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Big brother, thank you for your hard work!"

Having lived in ancient times for four years, she couldn’t do this hairstyle herself. Her big brother learned it instantly—truly impressive!

When Gu Cheng led his sister out to show her off, Duan Xiayou and Ji Zhangzhuo applauded admiringly.

Knowing it was Gu Cheng who did the little sister’s hair, Ji Zhangzhuo was full of admiration, "Big brother, how do you know everything?"

Tuanzi proudly puffed up her chest, "Because big brother is excellent and willing to learn, of course, he gets more and more amazing!"

She was very good at praising, "Big brother is Miaomiao’s role model for learning!"

Gu Cheng, who originally wore an indifferent expression, indeed broke into a smile.

Making his sister feel proud was the best kind of recognition.

Ji Zhangzhuo teased her intentionally, "What you need to learn most is your big brother’s discipline, don’t be so greedy with food."

Tuanzi instantly shrank back.

Everything else could be learned, except for that, it wasn’t very doable.

Her eating wasn’t greedy, it was to grow tall.

Upon hearing the sound of a car outside, Tuanzi dashed out without reservation, lifting her skirt.

"It must be Qize coming, I’ll go greet him!"

As soon as she left, Ji Zhangzhuo keenly remarked, "Little sister is definitely flustered; she didn’t even refer to herself as ’Miaomiao’."

He hadn’t spent much time with the little sister, but by observing carefully, it was too easy to notice the little sister’s habits.

Tuanzi, in her hurry, rushed outside to the yard, only letting out a sigh of relief as she kicked the ground.

"Sigh, Second Senior Brother really doesn’t know how to talk sometimes, always trapping Miaomiao, just like Yun Mu bro."

She suspected Second Senior Brother did it on purpose, how annoying!

"Who is just like me?" A familiar voice sounded above her.

Looking up, she saw that Gu Yunmu was already standing in their yard, clearly having climbed over the low wooden fence.

Gu Qize was also there, dressed in a silver-grey suit, standing outside with a disapproving look at Gu Yunmu.

This brat’s habit of climbing in without a greeting was dancing on his limits.

Even though he felt his elder brother’s intense gaze behind him, having been lectured by him since childhood, Gu Yunmu had gotten used to it. He now calmly lifted his sister up and gave her a few shakes.

"Miaomiao, you look especially cute in this outfit, both cute and pretty!"

Tuanzi pouted, "So is it me who’s cute, or the dress that’s cute?"

"Of course, it’s you~"

Gu Yunmu joyfully held her up and shook her; he was excited having not seen his sister for a while.

It was then that the things on Tuanzi started to fall with a clatter.

She looked down, and so did Gu Yunmu.

"Hey, candy? Your dress doesn’t even have pockets. Where were you hiding it?"

Before Tuanzi could speak, she heard the sound of coughing behind her and froze.

She turned her head to see Gu Cheng standing at the door with a serious face, looking at the ground.

On the ground lay the candy she had hidden, and today was Thursday—it wasn’t yet time for her big brother to give her candies.

[Ancient Martial System: Oh no, caught red-handed]

"Ah ah ah! Gu Yunmu, you big dummy!"

Annoyed, Tuanzi pounced forward, hung onto Gu Yunmu, and started pulling his hair and face.

"Ah ah ah!"

Gu Yunmu held her with one hand, trying to protect his head with the other.

"Pinching the face is fine, just don’t mess up my hairstyle, I just got it done this morning."

Hearing this, Tuanzi rubbed his head even harder.

"Pay me for the candy! Pay me for the candy!"

Her big brother was so smart, he would definitely know she secretly got someone to give her candy. He would certainly confiscate it now.

Her candy. Boohoo, Gu Yunmu is such a big dummy!

Gu Cheng had already opened the courtyard door while inside the house, and Gu Qize had walked in by now, standing by his annoying younger brother.

"Bro, save me, my hairstyle can’t get messed up!"

Gu Yunmu pleaded pitifully, "I still have to go to the auction later, I can’t go with a bird’s nest head!"

As someone who cared about his appearance, he couldn’t allow himself to show up in public without a proper image.

The handsome man with delicate features glared at him, "Serves you right."

Gu Yunmu could only whisper, "I’ll buy it for you, I won’t care about any agreements."

Tuanzi paused and glanced at him, "Really?"

For the sake of his hairstyle, Gu Yunmu quickly nodded.

"Really, really, I’ll be the one breaking the promise, not you being dishonest. Can the heroic lady forgive my poor hair?"

Tuanzi crossed her arms and modestly cleared her throat.

"Since you’ve shown such sincerity, I reluctantly..."

"Ahem," came Gu Cheng’s voice from behind.

Tuanzi froze.

How could she forget that her big brother was still present?

Looking at Gu Yunmu, who was tidying his hair with one hand, she angrily said, "Miaomiao must have been influenced by you, becoming silly and less cautious."

While still lamenting the loss of his hairstyle, Gu Yunmu nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault, even though I don’t know what exactly I did wrong."

Tuanzi: (〝▼皿▼)

In the end, Gu Cheng confiscated the candy and went to school.

An invitation to the auction allowed for up to four guests. Since Gu Yunmu wanted to go, Duan Xiayou conveniently stayed home, feeling smug but keeping the appearance of a laid-back gentleman.

On the way, Gu Yunmu discreetly observed Ji Zhangzhuo’s hairstyle, finding it rather cool, and questioned his elder brother in the driver’s seat.

"Bro, what do you think about me growing out a tuft of hair in the back to make a braid?"

Gu Qize: "I don’t think much of it."

"Why not?"

Gu Yunmu looked incredulous, "With my good looks, I should be able to rock any hairstyle."

Gu Qize sighed.

Ji Zhangzhuo, on the other hand, was quite friendly and chatted with Gu Yunmu.

He admitted that Gu Yunmu was strikingly handsome and vibrant, like, like... he thought for a moment and couldn’t find the right word.

At that moment, he heard the little sister mutter in a very low voice, "The peacock’s showing off again, posturing for no one."

Yes, like a peacock!

Ji Zhangzhuo smiled as he engaged in conversation with the human peacock. Through a few words, he found out that Gu Yunmu had already scoped out an office building in Jiangcheng and planned to relocate his company here in a few months.

Tuanzi, still mourning her lost candy, looked up.

"Hey, your dad doesn’t mind you moving the company here?"

She remembered their uncle was quite resistant to coming to Jiangcheng.

The reason for his resistance was simple. After Gu Yunmu’s mother passed away, their grandfather had strong opinions about how their uncle was raising his two sons. Their uncle got stubborn, and the fallout left him unwilling to come to Jiangcheng or have his son come to Jiangcheng.

What Gu Yunmu was doing might even make the control-freak Gu Yu so upset he couldn’t eat.

"He does mind," Gu Yunmu replied with a cheerful laugh, "The more unhappy he is, the better."

Tuanzi: "...Yun Mu bro, you’re so filial."

"Right," Gu Yunmu said smugly, "I think I’m quite filial too."
