Chapter 78 Gu Ye (ETL)

Chapter 78: Only idiot will decline to earn money
When Gu Ye saw the word ‘cuckolded’ in the text message, he quickly called Yu Ze, “Honey, I didn’t! Don’t listen to their nonsense!”
Yu Ze simply replied with a light “En” and didn’t say anything else. He still didn’t sound very happy. So Gu Ye quickly explained, “Big sister came from far away and wanted to treat me to a meal. It would be impolite to decline, right? She owes me a favor so if I don’t eat, she will feel uneasy, right? Besides, she is several years older than me and treats me like a child. I don’t have that kind of intention toward her at all.”
Knowing that Gu Ye is a face-con, and a veteran face-con to boot, Yu Ze asked with some concern, “Is she pretty?”
But Yu Ze immediately regretted asking this question right after. Sure enough, Gu Ye immediately perked up, “She’s pretty, but not as pretty as you! You are so handsome! I’ve seen so many people, so many ghosts, but only you are the best looking!”
Yu Ze palmed his forehead, still thinking that a large part of the reason why Gu Ye liked him was because of his face.
As for Gu Ye, he couldn’t control his mouth whenever the topic of Yu Ze’s beauty was mentioned, “You are the most handsome! Even when you are old, you are still the most handsome old man! I love you the most, finger gesture love for you~”
Hearing that, Yu Ze was amused, “With your talking ability, even the lame can be tricked by you into standing up.”
“Impossible! I am so well-behaved, I never trick people and only tell the truth. You are the most beautiful person, my man is the most handsome man in the world!”
Even though Yu Ze can’t see Gu Ye’s expression, he can still imagine the little expression on Gu Ye’s face when he says this. It must be arrogant and domineering, with expressive eyebrows. Yu Ze coughed, and his entire body was subdued by the last sentence, “En, it’s good if everything’s fine.”
“Pff!” Gu Ye was amused by Yu Ze’s reaction, and asked with a sly smile, “Are you embarrassed?”
“No.”
“Hehe~”
Then Yu Ze said solemnly, “Serious talk here, I wanted to visit you again before you start school, but unfortunately I have to go abroad tomorrow.”
“Ah?” Gu Ye asked disappointedly, “When will you come back?”
“5 days at least, or a week at most. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done.”
“Okay, be safe on the road, keep in touch with me at any time, and report your location. Also, always be on guard against men, women, old, young, big, small, hairy, hairless, breathing being, non-breathing being, etc. whoever tries to flirt with you.”
When other people are jealous, it’s specific objects, that is, men or women, but when Gu Ye’s jealous, the objects are all over the species, including the dead.
Yu Ze didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and after a while, he said softly, “Are you flirting with me again?”
“No, this doesn’t count as flirting.”
“I feel flirted.”
“Sorry, I was wrong!” Gu Ye admitted his mistake without hesitation, “Just remember to protect yourself when you go out, now it’s not safe for good-looking boys to go out.”
Yu Ze had no way to deal with Gu Ye, so he could only smile and agree.
Gu Ye looked at the time and said, “Well, good night, I won’t send you off tomorrow. I’m going to the amusement park with Lu Yize. It’s something I promised him before the New Year. This kid is very clingy.”
[Banana: In case anyone forgot, Lu Yize is the son of the murdered woman whose soul is now residing in her husband’s body]
Hearing that, Yu Ze asked with concern, “Do you like kids?”
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “I can only like them like 1 day a month. If they are well-behaved, I can like them for 2 more days. But for naughty kids, I don’t want them even for a day.”
Yu Ze smiled, “It’s just right. We don’t want kids then.”
“Yes, you can just raise me.”
Yu Ze tsk-ed and asked, “Are you flirting with me again?”
Gu Ye simply replied with a good night, pretending not to hear that. Then he went to take a shower. When he came back and lay on the bed, he looked at his phone again, Yu Ze had replied with a good night and a late 201st day check-in. Gu Ye smiled and fell asleep contentedly.
…
The next morning, Lu Yize, carrying a small schoolbag, wearing a blue cotton jacket, and a gray hat, his hands in his pockets, stood handsomely at the door of Gu Ye’s house. He grinned when he saw Gu Ye open the door for him.
Gu Ye was immediately amused. The child was at the age of changing his baby teeth, and there was a big hole next to his front teeth, which leaked air when he smiled.
“Have you finished your winter vacation homework?”
“I finished it before the New Year!” After Lu Yize entered the door, he took things out of his schoolbag, “This is what I bought for you with my pocket money, a hot pack, and a scarf. I don’t have money now, so I can only buy this. When I grow up and make money, I can buy better things.”
Squatted down, Gu Ye looked at the child’s pure and serious eyes, and took the gift with a smile, “You just need to be filial to your father, and you don’t need to buy anything for big brother.”
Lu Yize wrapped the scarf around Gu Ye’s neck. Seeing that Gu Ye’s handsome face was half hidden, which should be very warm, he said happily, “That won’t do. In the future, I will come to see you during the New Year, festivals, and your birthday. Also, I will come to visit you when I am free as well.”
Gu Ye smiled and touched the child’s head, “Why?”
“Because you are Big Brother Gu Ye.”
Gu Ye nodded. There was nothing wrong with this reason. “It’s up to you. Let’s go. How about we call the other two brothers to go to the theme park together?”
Before leaving, Gu Ye sent a message to Lu Ling: [Don’t worry, the driver has already sent him to my place. I’ll take care of him for a day, you go to work.]
Gu Ye called Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang to come out. And so, 3 young men and an 8 or 9-year-old child went to the theme park together. Lu Yize is now much more lively and has grown a lot taller recently. He jumped and skipped along the way and everything he saw felt new to him. Many people recognized Gu Ye at the theme park. Seeing Gu Ye bringing a child out to play, they were curious, “Gu Ye, whose child is this?”
Gu Ye smiled and said, “My relative’s.”
Lu Yize corrected Gu Ye, “I’m my big brother’s godson.”
“No!” Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “You don’t even know how to see the generations.”
Lu Yize waved his hand carelessly, “It doesn’t matter. People who achieve great things don’t care about trivial matters.”
Gu Ye was so amused that he held the child’s face in his palms and rubbed it like a bun. Zhao Pengyu suddenly remembered, “My second aunt’s little cousin is this big now, and the twins from my third aunt’s family are also as naughty as monkeys. If one day they let me take care of the children, I will send them all to your house if I get tired of it. I think you can take care of them better than me.”
Gu Ye sneered and gave Zhao Pengyu a word, “Scram!”
“Aiya, my little aunt~” Zhao Pengyu pulled Gu Ye’s sleeve with a playful smile and shook it. It seems that there is no more psychological barrier for him after calling Gu Ye too many times like this. Gu Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and just wanted to hit someone.
Gu Ye’s outing this time was still written into gossip news and posted online, not only in entertainment tabloids but also in business tabloids. Since Gu Decheng took him to the charity gala on New Year’s Day, Gu Ye has been called ‘Papa Gu’s most beloved son’, and people pay attention to everything he does. However, the news did not dare to write anything wrong/misleading this time. It only said that Gu Ye took his relatives’ children to play and provided warm care throughout the whole process.
Gu Ye’s fans all cupped their faces while praising: [My little husband is so warm, the child is so cute, and he will be a handsome boy in the future.]
[My big husband is handsome, while my little husband is warm, I am really a winner in life! (Tagging my big husband Yu Ze, pretending that he has a Weibo.jpg)]
[My little husband is cute yo, he is super cute even if he is afraid of pain!]
[Why isn’t he with Yu Ze? For things like taking care of children, shouldn’t you do it with your official CP?]
[Have you noticed that when there are scandals with others, Gu Ye is the first to come out to fight, but when it is said that he is with Yu Ze, he has never clarified it once.]
[Because Yu Ze is the official husband~~]
…
Gu Ye was speechless when he saw this kind of news. How should he respond? You guys should just keep it in your heart, why do you have to say it out loud?!
Just when the Internet was lively, another bombshell pushed Gu Ye’s name to the hot search! In the staff list of the most popular variety show ‘Let’s Challenge!’, there are two big words in the column of special consultant: Gu Ye!
The variety show ‘Let’s Challenge!’ is the one that Gu Lin’s company has been preparing for more than half a year. After Dingnan Entertainment learned about it, they wanted to get involved because they were attracted by the planning of this program. After the New Year, the first episode of this program became popular, creating a precedent for domestic variety shows and breaking the ratings record. After it was launched on the Internet, the playback rate exceeded 100 million in 2 days!
Since Gu Ye’s name appeared in this program, it made people curious: [Gu Ye as the consultant? What does he do there as a fortune teller?]
The reporter also did an interview on this matter, and the official answer was, “Gu Ye was the one to select the artists, picked the variety show name, and calculated the premiere date. He is a well-deserved consultant for this program.”
As soon as this interview video was broadcast, Gu Ye’s name suddenly became a hot search, and his fame in the circle became even more popular. Compared to the last time when most of the first-line stars just waited and watched, this time many people actually forwarded and liked the post. Especially the artists of Yuming Media Entertainment Company, who affectionately called Gu Ye ‘Little Wangye’.
“Our little Wangye can tell whether there is a chance or not by just counting with his fingers.” This sentence from the actress Gao Yingjing is an affirmation of Gu Ye’s ability. Also, the artists who were poached by Gu Ye are now popular and are deeply grateful to Gu Ye. The title ‘Little Wangye of the Entertainment Circle’ eventually became something everyone called Gu Ye.
Gu Ye was not expecting this. He took a screenshot and sent it to Gu Lin: [Second brother, you have seen how powerful I am. I am now declared as the Wangye. You will have to raise your offering price when you come to me in the future.]
Gu Lin immediately sent Gu Ye a red envelope, and Gu Ye happily clicked it: [250 yuan.]
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and asked dissatisfiedly: [Do you believe me if I say that I will take a screenshot and send it to my dad to let him scold you?]
Gu Lin: [You only bully me. If you have the ability, go and bully big brother.]
Gu Ye: [I dare not, I am a coward!]
Gu Lin: [Alright coward, your brother has a few profitable businesses for you, do you want to make money?]
Gu Ye was amused when he saw it and replied: [Only idiot will decline to earn money, I’ll take it!]
Gu Lin saw this reply and called Secretary Yang with a smile, “Make arrangements for him. As long as the money is in place, he can go to the set to check it.”
Secretary Yang asked tentatively, “It will take at least a day to go to the audition site and select actors in person. What is the price range that our Third Young Master has in mind?”
Gu Lin smiled, “It depends on how much the director wants the box office to be. Let them decide it themselves.”
Secretary Yang looked at his boss with admiration. Others called him a smiling fox, and it was aptly so.
Gu Ye didn’t expect that the job he took on casually would lead to a bloody love-hate relationship and a successor to an ancient secret technique.
