Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 482: Fighting Poison with Poison

Tuanzi, sounding annoyed, called Gu Li. In her childish voice, she said, "Cousin, speak human language! Miaomiao doesn’t understand what being autistic means."

She was being very honest.

The young man on the other end of the line was silent for a while before he explained dryly, "He’s in a bad mood. Last time I went over, I found him hiding in the house, not going out, just staring at the wall."

Tuanzi immediately exploded.

"Could it be that someone at their school bullied him?"

"No," Gu Li snorted, "If anyone at their school dared to bully him, I’d punch... cough cough, didn’t Mom and Dad go to your house for dinner earlier?"

Tuanzi calculated quickly, "That was a long time ago."

"Not too long ago."

Gu Li explained that recently, Jin Xuan and his wife had been frequently coming to Jiang City for business trips. He himself was studying in a neighboring city and could avoid them as long as he didn’t come to Jiang City, but obviously, that couple would occasionally go to find Gu Zhuo.

"They must have said something to him, but he won’t talk about it."

There was a hint of frustration in Gu Li’s voice as well.

"I went to their school, met his advisor and classmates." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Tuanzi still remembered that Professor Gu, who was obsessed with his research.

"What did Professor Gu say?"

Gu Li’s voice grew more agitated.

"The professor said Mom and Dad went to them, asking if he could change his major. They still haven’t given up!"

Tuanzi wasn’t actually clear about the conflict between Gu Zhuo and his parents. When she heard about the major issue, she couldn’t help but think back to when Old Sir Jin was also quite opposed to Jin Chunting studying veterinary medicine.

Could these two situations be similar?

She voiced her doubts.

"Pretty much, but our parents are definitely more excessive!"

The word ’parents’ was bitten off with particular emphasis.

Gu Li usually appeared fierce and didn’t like to interact with people much, revealing his true feelings. Outsiders just assumed that was his nature and stayed far away.

After interacting a few times, Tuanzi indeed found that he was a bit contradictory in his words and thoughts, and now she softly pleaded for him to explain clearly.

"Oh, Miaomiao is occasionally a bit slow, you need to explain clearly, so Miaomiao can understand."

"You’re not slow!" Gu Li retorted anxiously.

Tuanzi: "Hmm?"

An exaggerated coughing sound came from the other end of the line immediately, and as Tuanzi worriedly asked if he was feeling unwell, Gu Li managed to get back on topic.

He briefly described the academic conflict between Gu Zhuo and Jin Xuan and his wife.

The conflict’s origin was simple: Gu Zhuo had a talent for stock trading. In high school, he helped his family’s company overcome a crisis with the funds he earned from trading.

However, despite his talent in this area, Gu Zhuo didn’t like the relevant major. He was more interested in archaeology. Conversely, Jin Xuan and his wife felt that their son shouldn’t waste his talent and believed studying finance would help him trade stocks and make more money in the future.

Gu Zhuo was inherently gentle while Jin Xuan and his wife were strong-willed. Many teachers also thought Gu Zhuo shouldn’t waste his talent, so he studied finance as an undergraduate and performed exceptionally well.

The better he performed, the more painful it became. The ongoing pain gave him the courage to rebel, switched majors at great effort, and became Professor Gu’s student with the top overall grades.

"A soft bun has begun to resist, and they are furious, badmouthing big brother to everyone and endlessly hoping to change his major or push him into the finance industry."

Previously, the couple was busy and had no time to come to Jiang City. Now, when they got the chance, they naturally continued to pressure Gu Zhuo.

Gu Li not only met Professor Gu but also bumped into Gu Zhuo’s classmate Xu Yue at school. From Xu Yue, he learned that the couple had not only met with big brother’s advisor but also with several of his professional course teachers.

This behavior equated to socially "killing" big brother among the teachers.

If any teacher jokingly mentioned it, the students would definitely find out, which would socially "kill" him within the department.

He knew big brother was soft-hearted and easily bullied. Previously, he secretly blocked and taught a lesson to those who bullied big brother and was even called to meet the parents.

But Gu Chang only thought that he hit people without asking why. Clearly, those people bullied his big brother first. What was wrong with him fighting back? He never told big brother about it, fearing big brother might think he did wrong.

Tuanzi had never experienced any of these, but that didn’t stop her from imagining.

For instance, if her master descended from the sky and told her family and senior brothers that she once got stung all over by bees after stealing honey and then jumped into a creek, she would definitely sulk in her room, not coming out for a week!

And her cousin’s situation was far more serious than hers, so his cousin must be feeling even worse inside.

As Tuanzi was imagining, she heard Gu Li’s irritable voice.

"He should just fight back, his parents think he’s an easy target!"

Gu Li majored in Chinese for his undergraduate studies and later pursued graduate research. Parents were also unsatisfied with his choice of major. But Gu Li had always dared to argue fiercely with his parents since childhood, had a strong attitude, and did as he wished when filling out his applications. Today, when parents complain about them, Gu Li lets it go in one ear and out the other.

In contrast, no matter how brave Gu Li, who was raised by Jin Xuan and his wife, was, he couldn’t bring himself to argue loudly with his parents, turning red-faced.

"Gu Zhuo brother is indeed easy to bully."

Tuanzi muttered quietly, "Master said, complaining is useless, we should actively think of ways to solve it. Let’s go find brother Gu Zhuo together, where are you now?"

Someone fell silent.

"Cousin? Are you still there? Can you hear Miaomiao’s voice?"

"...Yes."

"Then where are you now?"

"...At the place he rents."

Tuanzi’s eyes widened slightly.

"Wow, you really care..."

[Ancient Martial System: Don’t say it, if you say it, he’ll definitely deny it, or worse, run away!]

This sentence was spoken rapidly by the system, successfully stopping Tuanzi.

The little girl pretended nothing had happened and said, "Tell Miaomiao the address, Miaomiao will come too."

Gu Li sighed in relief and sent her the address.

Tuanzi immediately went to look for Ji Zhangzhuo.

"Second senior brother, hurry, hurry, we are going to steal someone away!"

Her thinking was still simple. The second aunt and uncle were in the wrong, treating her cousin badly; she would snatch him away and make him her family, humph!

After this brother-sister duo left, Duan Xiayou woke up leisurely from his nap.

He instinctively reached under the pillow and felt the Spirit Jade, broken into two pieces.

"Hmm?"

On the way to the rented house.

Tuanzi kept puffing her cheeks, murmuring about the ’kidnapping plan’.

Ji Zhangzhuo, however, felt this was only a temporary solution.

"That couple can’t be changed anymore, being parents, they’d only make their child follow them."

Tuanzi immediately lowered her little head.

"Then what should we do?"

"Fight poison with poison."

Tuanzi doubted what she heard and looked up.

"Huh?"

Ji Zhangzhuo promptly corrected his words: "In front of your cousin, they are parents, and if they choose not to change, they won’t, ignoring your cousin’s feelings. But they are also someone else’s children."

Tuanzi blinked, then blinked again.

"The grandpa!"
