Chapter 543: Chapter 543
Gu Dad became exceedingly reticent whenever he thought about his daughter’s ears, much like Gu Mum.
Now that everything had been purchased, Gu Mum couldn’t bear to reject her son-in-law’s kindness. As a result, the men of the family began helping Gu Mum to replace the household appliances.
Xiao Yebai, cradling the rice cooker in one arm, heaved it onto the kitchen counter—a sight that made Gu Mum’s heart leap with anxiety, fearing he might injure his other hand. After helping him place the rice cooker safely, Gu Mum ordered her son-in-law, "Go, sit on the couch in the living room, or on the balcony, and help me gather the laundry."
Speaking of Zhang Sanfeng, he finally found something he could help with at the Gu Family—that was to gather the balcony’s laundry and fold it.
The big white dog, reprimanded by his mother-in-law, had no choice but to rush to the balcony and join his brother in tidying up the clothes.
With his tall stature and long arms, Xiao Yebai easily took down the clothes from the clothesline. In contrast, Zhang Sanfeng’s fair and beautiful hands, his fingers slender and nimble, resembled those of an adroit and heartful embroiderer.
Gu Nuan glanced over and saw the two attractive men cooperating seamlessly on the balcony, and she couldn’t help but wonder just how long these two had been brothers.
Looking at Zhang Sanfeng, his beauty could upset empires, such a suave and talented man, clad in wealth as if wearing golden armor—why then was he disabled? How had Zhang Sanfeng made his fortune? Thinking of these two men, her whole being was shrouded in mystery.
The money her husband used to buy lottery tickets for her father today must have been borrowed from Zhang Sanfeng, Gu Nuan assumed. Such brotherhood where one freely uses the other’s bank card was something she could imagine. It would be difficult for even the closest of sisters to do the same.
Gu Nuan turned and continued to help her mother with the broom, sweeping up the trash left over from the moving of possessions. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
The two men on the balcony looked into each other’s eyes, understanding each other without words.
"Won a hundred thousand?" Zhang Sanfeng mentioned casually.
"I had thought that with your hundreds of thousands thrown in, you might only win a few thousand at best. I didn’t expect it to be tenfold. Maybe it’s because we used your card that your luck brought fortune here," Xiao Yebai shrugged his shoulders, speaking earnestly.
Logically, they should have been able to make some profit, but the question was how much, or perhaps even the possibility of loss. After all, probability is something that can be calculated scientifically, but there’s always uncertainty to it. If by some unlucky chance the result lands on the side of low probability, even someone as clever as them would have to accept their fate.
So, what was the additional confidence that led them to take Gu Dad to gamble?
That would be thanks to the man before them. His intuition, his sixth sense, had put him on the worldwide list of persona non grata in all Casino Cities.
Xiao Yebai casually tossed the last piece of clothing into his own arms and presented it to Zhang Sanfeng, playfully asking, "Do you find it thrilling? Haven’t gambled in a while, huh?"
"You know I’ve quit gambling long ago." Zhang Sanfeng, with his beauty resembling that of an exquisite man, murmured softly with his head down, "Of course, whenever my ears hear about gambling, whenever my eyes see the lottery, my mind involuntarily conjures up some scenes, beyond my control."
"That’s why you choose to stay silent," Xiao Yebai said, sitting beside him, his gaze extending beyond the window sill.
The last rays of the sunset penetrated the Gu Family’s small balcony, cloaking the two of them in a warm, resplendent veil as if adorned with colorful silk.
Zhang Sanfeng felt the piercing glare of the setting sun and, looking up, saw a layer of serene brilliance on the face of the brother sitting beside him.
