Who Is Siren - 3
Gu Min caught up to Fu Zhi in a shadowed lane.1
He had thrown the bouquet of roses away. Right now, he had a sincere yet casual expression on his face. "Fu Zhi, I truly love you from the bottom of my heart. I'm not messing with you."
The three of them looked at each other quietly.
Ye Jiu had been in a bad mood ever since he had heard what Mu Chenxi had said about Fu Zhi. Although he looked as if he was very calm when Gu Min confessed his feelings for his underage sister before his very eyes, in reality, he was so angry that he could kill a cow with a punch right now.
"You love her? Why don't you take a mirror and look at yourself first?" Ye Jiu snarled. "You've only seen her a few times and you're telling me that you truly love her from the bottom of your heart? Are you kidding me? Let me tell you something, son. Never try to flirt with a girl in front of her brother. Besides, you won't have the right to inherit her property after she dies even if you become her husband in the future. I'm the sole inheritor of her property and assets, so save your breath!"
Gu Min had not expected Ye Jiu to have such a big reaction. He kept retreating as he said, "No. You've misunderstood. I'm rich, and this bank card is a small token from me."
The bank card glinted under the sun.
Rich people loved to settle their problems with money. Ye Jiu waved his arm and slapped Gu Min's shoulder. "Do you think that money is the panacea for everything? Do you think that money can buy anything? Can money buy you love?"
"I didn't…" Gu Min muttered.
"You didn't?" Ye Jiu parroted as he raised his arm once again. Gu Min tried to dodge, but it was useless, for Ye Jiu had cut off any possible way to retreat. Just as he gulped nervously and tried to explain, he heard Ye Jiu say, "Be more confident in yourself, brother. I personally believe there's nothing in this world that money can't buy!"
Gu Min was speechless.
Since Gu Min was not there to take advantage of them, Ye Jiu's attitude had changed. He was grinning from ear to ear, and his eyes were glowing bright like two diamonds. "You want Zhizhi to be your girlfriend, brother? Of course! It's no problem at all! All you have to do is say it!"
The grin on his face was getting wider with each passing second, but Gu Min did not have a good feeling about it. He looked at Ye Jiu doubtfully and said, "We're both men, so can you stop acting like this? May I know who you are?"
"I'm Zhizhi's brother," Ye Jiu replied warmly. Then, he added, "Her biological brother."
Fu Zhi chimed in, "I have no brother like him."
Ye Jiu grabbed Fu Zhi by the back of her collar and grinned at Gu Min. "Well, she had an accident last night, so she's been having selective amnesia."
"Okay..."
Now that they had cleared up the misunderstanding, Gu Min handed the bank card to Fu Zhi and said carefully, "There… There is 100,000 yuan inside the card."
Ye Jiu was stunned.
Perhaps his appetite had become bigger after Huo Ningxin's incident, as Ye Jiu just wanted to comment "This is all you've got?" after he heard that there was only 100,000 yuan inside Gu Min's bank card.
The smile on his face went away instantly. He pushed Fu Zhi behind him and said expressionlessly, "Falling in love at an early age is not a good thing. Besides, my sister loves someone else. He's richer and more handsome than you. Forced love does not last, so let's just forget about it."
Well, Gu Min did not know if forced love could last or not. He just wanted to date Fu Zhi right now. He pulled another bank card out of his pocket and said, "Brother, there is 500,000 yuan in this bank card. If you still think it's insufficient, then you can consider it a down payment. I will pay you the rest later."
"Money is not the main issue. It's just that…" Ye Jiu snatched the bank card and stashed it in his pocket. Then, he offered Gu Min a grin and added righteously, "Anyway, just forget what I said just now. Falling in love at an early age is not a bad thing at all. For the sake of pure and beautiful love, as well as for the sake of freedom, I give you two permission to date!"
Gu Min was getting pumped up. Before Ye Jiu gave the two of them some space, he pulled Fu Zhi to the side and said, "No matter how good the Gu Family is, they are still very far behind the Li Family. Remember, your goal is to become the daughter-in-law of the Li Family. Don't settle for the smaller fish when the bigger fish is within reach, get me?"
"I don't want to be a seductress," Fu Zhi replied, her voice flat.
Ye Jiu had read and watched plenty of novels and dramas. When he heard what Fu Zhi said, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with being a seductress? You have to keep in mind that a girl who doesn't have a troop of boyfriends is not a successful girl!
"It's such a shame that no rich woman likes a perfect young boy like me. Sigh!"
Fu Zhi did not know what to comment.
Ye Jiu ran away after he got the money. Fu Zhi was not in the mood to entertain Gu Min at all. Just as she was thinking about how to get away from Gu Min, a man wearing a black trench coat appeared in her line of vision.
Truth be told, this was one of the few times in Raptor's life that he experienced a Waterloo.
No matter how much he did not want to admit it, Fu Zhi was the one who had fixed the computer, and he knew this better than anyone else.
He could not accept the fact that he, a professional hacker, had lost to an ordinary person like Fu Zhi.
This could become a demon in Raptor's heart, and it could be detrimental to the development of his future career.
He thought for a long while and concluded that there was only one way he could defeat the demon in his heart—by having a fair and square match with Fu Zhi.
If he defeated Fu Zhi and proved that he was better than her, he would not be troubled by this inexplicable sense of inferiority when he picked up the keyboard again.
When he was a few steps away from Fu Zhi, he turned to Gu Min and frowned. "Fu Zhi, I have something to talk to you about. It won't take you too much time. I will give you money if you come with me, and you will still have the time to come back and continue your date with your boyfriend."
"Have you heard the phrase 'a day away from a dear one is like three seasons' before?" Gu Min told Fu Zhi as he clutched her bag. "No matter how much he pays you, I will pay you double."
Fu Zhi looked at Gu Min, and then at Raptor. She just felt that both of them were extremely annoying.
Raptor was going to leave Yu City after he finished his job there. He was not going to come back to Yu City anymore, so this was his only chance to regain his confidence. That was why he was so eager to see Fu Zhi now.
He patted his computer and said, "What do you think, Fu Zhi? Come and have a programming contest with me. I'm willing to put the honor of the 10th member of the Hacker Alliance on the line. After the competition, I will not bother you anymore."
"The Hacker Alliance?" Gu Min was shocked. He knew that everyone in the Hacker Alliance was a monster and there was no way Fu Zhi could defeat him. Thus, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, "Don't say yes. There's no way you can defeat him. It will only be a waste of time!"
Raptor lifted his chin and said, "My skills cannot be doubted, so it's normal for you to be scared. However, there's a second option. If you admit that you're not as good as me, I see no reason for us to continue the competition."
Fu Zhi did not say anything in return. She opened her bag and pulled out the name tag with the words "Director of Psychiatry of No.1 Hospital, Fu Zhi" that she had made herself several days ago.
She put the name tag below her school batch, stretched her hand toward Raptor, and said, "Nice to meet you, sir. According to my diagnosis, you can eat whatever you want. After all, your illness is incurable."
Raptor was speechless, and his face turned red from anger.
Since he had come to her and asked to be humiliated, Fu Zhi had no other choice but to grant his wish.
Gu Min was still trying to stop Fu Zhi. "Do you really want to have a match with him?"
"Nope," Fu Zhi said. "I just want to show him that there are many things in this world that are better than the internet."
Gu Min, who was stumped, started to wonder if Fu Zhi was out of her mind.
Since they had a computer room in No.1 High School, Fu Zhi led Raptor there.
