Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 623: The Last Cousin
Because of Tuanzi’s soaring enthusiasm for martial arts, Jin Shilin stayed for a bit and then left without explaining his intentions.
It wasn’t until the third episode of "Warm Company" ended, and Tuanzi was ordered by her brothers and senior brothers to rest more due to her overzealousness, that Jin Shilin found an opportunity.
"Want to visit your big brother together?"
Tuanzi mumbled a bit with a pine nut candy in her mouth, "Sure!"
Her bright black eyes curiously looked at Jin Shilin.
"Cousin, you visited him last time, right? Did you mention Miaomiao?"
"I did."
Jin Shilin gave a light cough, "But he quickly changed the subject. Very odd."
His rapid response in changing the topic clearly showed that he knew about the existence of his cousin. However, back then, his big brother didn’t seem to show any disgust.
Jin Shilin decided to take someone to try again.
Tuanzi didn’t think much of it. She’s happy to go out with anyone; she’s not picky!
After transferring to Jiang City, Jin Shilin bought a car and registered it, and now conveniently drove Tuanzi for the trip.
Tuanzi obediently sat in the back seat, chatting every now and then.
After the car drove some distance, Tuanzi suddenly said, "Cousin, your driving style is different from theirs."
Jin Shilin: "Hmm?"
"Miaomiao has ridden in Yun Mu brother’s car. He drives really fast, zooming ahead in no time!"
The man driving twitched his eyelid; having spent so much time with them, he also knew who this Gu Yunmu was. Moreover, the Runze Group was a big company, and changes in top-tier personnel could affect the stock.
Due to company business, he accidentally heard that Runze Group internally seemed to be divided into two factions — some support President Gu Qize, while some support the newly emerging Gu Yunmu. And Gu Qize and Gu Yunmu’s working styles are completely opposite.
"Don’t ride in his car in the future."
Jin Shilin disapproved of driving too fast with children in the car.
"If you accidentally exceed the speed limit, it’s very dangerous."
"It seems he didn’t speed."
Tuanzi scratched her face, recalling carefully, "Every time it was about to exceed the limit, he would break just in time."
Isn’t this even more dangerous?
Jin Shilin decided to chat with Gu Cheng.
"I’ve also ridden in Qize brother’s car. Hmm, very cautious and restrained."
"Just like him." Jin Shilin commented.
"Right, cousin, your driving style is," Tuanzi tried hard to find words, "very stable?"
[Ancient Martial System: Does that mean he’s stable as a person?]
Tuanzi again scratched her face.
Jin Shilin didn’t really understand his cousin’s description, but ’stable’ seemed a better evaluation than the other two, right?
Still, he was very satisfied.
Jin Shilin is not only stable but also methodical in doing things.
He calculated the time, pre-checked the road conditions, and successfully brought his cousin to his big brother’s rented house within the estimated time.
This is a new community, with large distances between buildings, good greenery, and overall quiet.
After getting out of the car, Tuanzi looked around with her hands in her pockets, not spotting a single resident.
"Oh? Did everyone go to work?"
"New community, low occupancy rate."
Jin Shilin led her to take the elevator, explaining along the way, "He prefers places with fewer people. He even rented a house near a cemetery before, saying there weren’t many people living there, and many even want to sell their houses; he’s considering buying one."
Over the years, Jiang City has undergone multiple plannings. Occasionally, it happens that a villa area or a community emphasizing good greenery is just completed, and nearby a place is zoned as a cemetery. The owners are complaining bitterly, only wanting to quickly sell off, and the remaining properties can only be sold at a discount.
However, some people with urgent needs still live there before they can sell their houses.
Jin Shilin commented: "Communities near cemeteries are low populated, quiet, and have low housing prices, perfectly suiting his needs."
Tuanzi slightly opened her mouth.
"Your brother is really special."
She’s too young to understand houses. But before, while roaming Jianghu with her master, she discovered many commoners were quite apprehensive about living near graveyards. This cousin she hadn’t met yet was very bold.
The system couldn’t help but sarcastically comment.
[Ancient Martial System: Maybe he prefers dealing with something else over socializing]
[Miaomiao: ?]
After reaching the corresponding floor, Tuanzi lowered her head, seeing her hands empty.
"Ah, forgot to buy a gift!"
Tuanzi doesn’t really understand visiting etiquette; previously, when following her master to meet her master’s old friends, her master would confidently say they were here to sponge. With such confidence from her master, as a beloved disciple, she had to be even more confident!
But over this past year, when other elders and brothers came to see her, they often brought gifts, even if it was just a small confection, it could make her happy for a long time.
Accordingly, Tuanzi also learned to bring gifts when visiting others. The gifts don’t have to be expensive; as long as they convey a heartfelt message that makes the other party happy, that’s enough.
Rubbing her empty hands, Tuanzi helplessly looked at Jin Shilin.
She agreed on the spur of the moment and didn’t think of this till arriving at the destination.
"Don’t worry, he won’t mind."
Jin Shilin took responsibility, "It was my sudden proposal, not your fault."
Tuanzi nodded dejectedly.
After ringing the doorbell for a while, finally, there was someone to open the door.
The door had a peephole, the owner could completely observe the visitors through it and then decide whether to open the door.
Tuanzi perked up her little ears.
She heard someone approaching the door but not opening it.
"Hmm?"
[Ancient Martial System: He’s probably observing you, confirming your identity before opening the door, don’t rush]
Tuanzi obediently waited.
However, two minutes passed, and still, no one opened the door. The person at the door also didn’t leave, seeming to be standing there, staring at them.
Tuanzi was full of question marks.
This cousin is so strange.
Jin Shilin had to ring the doorbell again.
This time, the person inside opened the door, but he didn’t graciously open it wide to let them in. Instead, he cautiously opened a narrow slit, revealing a pair of black-ringed eyes, staring at them.
"Anything you need?"
The question marks on Tuanzi’s head were almost visible.
She couldn’t help saying, "Cousin, you’re making us look like bad people."
Only with strangers or bad people do you need to be so cautious, right? But cousin already saw their faces through the peephole.
The man referred to as cousin trembled slightly, slowly closing the door, making the narrow gap even smaller.
Tuanzi: "?"
[Ancient Martial System: With him like this, I don’t even know what to say]
Unable to bear it any longer, Jin Shilin directly grabbed the door handle, forcefully pulling it outward.
The person inside was unprepared, stumbled forward with the door before stabilizing himself by holding onto the door frame.
Only then did Tuanzi notice the living room curtains were closed, somewhat dark, while the light outside the staircase was quite good.
Upon seeing the light, the man immediately covered his face in distress.
[Ancient Martial System: Is this what they mean by ’dying upon seeing the light’?]
Tuanzi: "..."
