Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 406: The Best Qize

The two brothers want to help their sister buy the paintings, and Ji Zhangzhuo and Tuanzi themselves also want to collect their master’s works.

After all, if the Spirit Jade isn’t effective, their master can’t come to modern times, and they would never see each other this lifetime. The painting is their last memory.

Concerning buying the paintings, the senior and junior disciples have the same attitude.

This is their sect’s matter, they have to pay for it themselves. If short of money, they can borrow from Gu Qize brothers, but they can’t let the brothers buy it and gift it to them.

But now, Mr. Xie wants to give it for free.

Before Ji Zhangzhuo could speak, Xie Yang got nervous.

"Dad, that’s our family’s painting! Even if it’s not a famous work, it can still sell for some money!"

There’s a difference between antiques.

An 800-year-old folk item isn’t worth as much as a 500-year-old official item.

Actually, this sword and painting aren’t famous works, just historically old. Among them, the sword can sell better. As for the painting, a non-famous work, not many would want to collect it, but it’s still money if sold at a low price.

Xie Yang couldn’t understand his father’s act of throwing money away.

In his anxiety, he exposed his true intentions.

This made Mr. Xie extremely angry, waving his cane to hit him.

Not knowing, some might think their family is keeping the sword for profit, isn’t this tarnishing the ancestors’ reputation?

Mr. Xie values reputation greatly, already feeling awkward about taking the payment. Hearing his eldest son’s words now, he was so angry he didn’t even want to accept the previous payment.

Xie Yang was dumbfounded.

Not only is the painting given for free, but the payment is returned? So what has he been working for all this time? He even owed favors getting his friends to contact the professor to come over.

In his daze, unsuspectingly, he was hit several times by Mr. Xie’s cane.

Ji Zhangzhuo watched the drama with folded arms before stepping in to mediate.

Openly mediating, secretly fanning the flames.

And if he wishes, persuading them to accept the payment is an easy task.

Ultimately, both parties reached an agreement, allowing Ji Zhangzhuo and others to directly take the painting and the Listening Wave Sword, while they will pay the Xie Family a custodial fee.

This fee is naturally somewhat higher than before, publicly saying it’s to express gratitude for the custody, wanting to repay them, without mentioning any business about buying the artwork, thus preserving the Xie Family’s reputation.

When fetching the sword, the professor was still researching it with his students.

Hearing the Listening Wave Sword had a new owner, the professor eagerly eyed them, "Can I leave my contact info?"

He hadn’t finished his research, hoping to visit in the future.

Of course, borrowing the sword to research with professional equipment is actually better. But they’ve just met, he felt embarrassed to say this. Once they’re acquainted, he can discuss it.

Ji Zhangzhuo quickly left his contact info.

What didn’t please him was the student brought by the professor constantly stealing glances at his little junior sister.

Of course, he knew his little junior sister is cute, but her senior brothers and siblings are present, stealing glances is too much.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhangzhuo used his tall stature to shield Tuanzi, bidding farewell to everyone.

Tuanzi was polite to the courteous elderly, poking a little head out from behind Ji Zhangzhuo, waving her chubby paw.

"Bye-bye, drive safely!"

Gu Zhuo felt his heart flutter.

Seeing Tuanzi and others about to leave, he couldn’t help but stop them, introducing himself, "I’m Gu Zhuo."

Tuanzi blinked, instinctively saying, "I’m Gu Miaomiao."

Gu Zhuo replied, "I know."

Tuanzi: "?"

"Let’s go, let’s go."

Ji Zhangzhuo directly picked her up, stuffing her into the car.

Gu Yunmu was very calm this time, after all, he was holding the Sword Box, afraid the sword might slip up.

After getting into the car, Tuanzi cherished the Sword Box, and asked Gu Qize if there’s any paper and pen in the car.

Gu Qize took out paper and pen with one hand, handing it to the back row.

"What’s up?"

"Hehe, writing an IOU."

Tuanzi seriously wrote an IOU, signed it, and had Ji Zhangzhuo sign it as well.

Ji Zhangzhuo signed it, "Once back, have Senior Brother sign it too, need to add a fingerprint."

Gu Qize finally reacted.

He shook his head, "No need, consider it my gift to you."

"No way!"

Tuanzi puffed her cheeks, "This is our sect’s item, isn’t it unreasonable to let you pay for it? Besides, even for Big Brother, I’d write an IOU, us senior and junior brothers will repay it together!"

To make Gu Qize accept the IOU, she tried to adorably threaten him.

"Our sect has a lot of things scattered around, buying each one back costs a lot of money, Qize, are you going to buy them all for us?"

Gu Qize indifferently nodded.

Tuanzi opened her mouth wide, feeling touched and worried.

"You’d easily go bankrupt like that!"

Unable to shake her cousin due to seat distance.

"Don’t be too generous, you’ll be tricked out of all your money."

Gu Qize didn’t agree.

"You are you, others are others."

He’s not generous to strangers. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Tuanzi: o(╥﹏╥)o

Ji Zhangzhuo was texting Duan Xia with his head down, hearing strange noises, he turned around startled, "Little junior sister, why are you crying?"

Tuanzi ’boo-hoo’ed, "Miaomiao is too touched, how is there such a good person like Qize in the world? Boo-hoo!"

Gu Qize was so startled he pulled over, trying to comfort his sister, yet clueless how to start, turned to rely on Gu Yunmu.

Gu Yunmu indeed responded to his implied eye signal, reluctantly approaching Tuanzi, nearly face-to-face.

"My brother’s good, am I not?"

Gu Qize: "..."

Tuanzi mindlessly ’boo-hoo’ed.

Gu Yunmu pinched her nose, "I’ll buy it for you too, I’m not short of money."

Tuanzi twitched her nose, stopped crying, and immediately tried to bite him.

"No need, we can buy it ourselves."

Touched as she was, doesn’t mean she’d accept such gifts.

Neither would the senior brothers.

Not hearing that, Gu Yunmu could only cross the seat, whispering in Gu Qize’s ear, "Accept the IOU later, and just give her gifts in the future."

He wouldn’t stop his sister.

Gu Qize reluctantly agreed.

He restarted the car, soon realizing something wrong.

Why did his annoying brother lean over just now?

Seeing through the rearview mirror, he lowered his voice, "Buckle up!"

Gu Yunmu pouted, buckling up.

Back at Jiangshui’s residence, Tuanzi hurriedly asked Duan Xiayou for a signature, and solemnly handed the IOU to Gu Qize.

Gu Qize could only accept it.

Plus, he’s about to fly to another city for a meeting, must head to the airport.

Before leaving, he tried to take his annoying brother away.

Gu Yunmu didn’t want to.

"Anyhow, I plan to move the company here."

He even encouraged Gu Qize, "You move your company here too, wouldn’t it be nice to return home to Jiangshui daily? Our father’s surely not willing to live here."

Gu Qize cast a glance at him, "Is this something I can decide?"

Relocating headquarters is a major affair, even being the CEO, doesn’t qualify for full decision-making.

Gu Yunmu immediately egged on him, cheekily expressing, "Then you usurp the throne, becoming the chairman gives privileges, right?"

Gu Qize turned and walked away, disdaining to listen to his nonsense anymore.

"Sooner or later, to be chairman, why not usurp earlier?" Gu Yunmu muttered quietly, "Become the boss and nobody bosses him around!"

"Impossible," Tuanzi folded her arms, sternly educating him, "Qize won’t do such things, he’s not like you."
