41: Chapter 41 Even the once-famous Gu Master thought

Just as the real and the Fake Young Master had their arms around each other's shoulders and were walking toward the villa!

Right behind the two of them, not far away,

Chen Jianguo and Wang Xiaoyun were petrified on the spot.

Their expressions were as bizarre as they could possibly be.

If they couldn't hear their dear son's inner voice, seeing this scene of "brotherly affection and harmony" would surely have moved them to tears of joy.

But the problem was...

They could actually hear it?!

The true face of their dear son that they heard was completely different from the heartwarming scene before their eyes!

Chen Fan now wore an honest, simple smile on his face, shouting loudly, "Jing Ci giegie~", looking utterly sincere and earnest, as if he wanted to become sworn brothers of life and death with the other person.

Yet in his heart, he was cursing up a storm!

[That dog! It was the same in our past life; he purposely put on a look of guilt in front of this deity, crying and saying he wanted to make it up to this deity.]

[Once this deity actually made a request, he would resort to all sorts of whining and whimpering, deliberately making that bunch of blind and foolish idiots think this deity lacked magnanimity and was petty!]

[This time, this deity simply won't let you have your way.]

[This deity will do the exact opposite: act like sworn brothers with you, and make you completely let down your guard.]

[When you are completely defenceless against this deity, this deity will stab you fiercely in the back!]

[Let you also experience what it feels like to be backstabbed!]

[Heh hehehehehe—]

[Fool, do you really think this deity genuinely wants to befriend you?]

[Back then, even the illustrious Gu Immortal Master wanted to request an audience with this deity, but this deity didn't even deign to look at him.]

[Just based on you, a mere ant, and you think you're worthy of being sworn brothers with this deity?]

...

The couple felt their scalps tingle as they listened.

Looking again at Chen Fan's honest and simple smiling face,

no matter how they looked at it, he looked like a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing.

This child...

was just too sinister, wasn't he?!

He says one thing on the surface, but thinks another in his heart!

This contrast was as huge as ever?!

Wang Xiaoyun poked her husband with her elbow and asked in a low voice:

"Old Chen... Who on earth do you think our son learned his acting skills from?"

"Why does it feel like the so-called Golden Horse Award best actors don't even act as well as him..."

"..."

Chen Jianguo's mouth twitched as he squeezed out a dry sentence:

"...Don't let your imagination run wild. At least for now, we can still maintain surface-level peace."

"As for the future..."

"As long as we keep treating Chen Fan well, and Xiao Ci continues to show his kindness, sooner or later we can dissolve the malice in Chen Fan's heart, right."

"..."

He didn't even quite believe his own words.

But for now, that was all they could think of.

The couple exchanged a bitter smile,

and followed behind the real and the Fake Young Master, who had their arms around each other and were chatting animatedly, walking together into the villa's front door...

Inside the dining room, the aroma of clay pot porridge wafted over.

Chen Xuening had already served the porridge on the table and was holding a ladle to portion it into bowls.

The four sisters each harbored their own thoughts, yet their actions were surprisingly synchronized as they secretly observed the movements of their two younger brothers.

Seeing the two brothers walking in with their arms around each other, talking and laughing, their jaws almost dropped off!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ!

What is going on???

Shouldn't these two be as incompatible as fire and water???

How do they look so harmonious together? So full of brotherly affection?!

Before they could figure out what had happened,

Chen Jingci had already pulled out a chair and habitually sat in the spot next to the eldest sister.

This was his exclusive seat for the past eighteen years, and also the best spot besides the head seats of Chen's father and mother.

But the next second,

as if remembering something, he suddenly stood up and smiled as he waved at Chen Fan:

"Chen Fan, sit here."

"This spot is close to the air conditioner vent, it's the most comfortable to sit in."

"I'll just sit over there."

"..."

This time he truly wasn't playing any tricks.

Realizing that Chen Fan posed no threat, he genuinely wanted to cede some minor privileges to build a good relationship with him.

At the same time, in front of his parents and sisters, he wanted to showcase his open-minded magnanimity.

Chen Fan was flattered.

Obviously, he also knew what the very first position below the head seats represented.

He bashfully declined, saying:

"No, no, no, Jing Ci giegie, you sit, you sit, it's all the same wherever I sit!"

"We're brothers! Don't stand on ceremony with me!"

"..."

Chen Jingci's smile remained unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of unyielding insistence:

"It's not me standing on ceremony with you, it's that you should sit in this seat."

"This was originally yours to begin with."

"..."

Chen Fan felt a warmth in his heart, (╥╯^╰╥) his nose stinging with soreness.

Jing Ci giegie is truly so good!

He thinks of me in everything!

As expected, the voice pack was always measuring a gentleman's heart with its own mean measure.

Not a single punctuation mark of its words could be believed; it was all fabricated nonsense!

Meanwhile, the expressions of the Chen family members who could hear the "inner voice" grew subtle once again.

Because the true version they heard went like this——

[Heh.]

[That dog is acting again.]

[First he deliberately sits in the best spot, then hypocritically and ostentatiously makes way in front of the whole family.]

[This move of "retreating as a means of advancing" is played quite smoothly, huh.]

[You clearly know that among everyone at this table, you are the least qualified to sit there, yet you still insist on fighting this deity for the seat. Are you testing this deity's tolerance?]

[Unfortunately, the family status you value so much is worth less than dog shit in this deity's eyes!]

[This deity has zero interest in it.]

[Back when this deity sat on the Dragon head in the main hall of the Immortal Palace, overlooking ten thousand miles of sea of clouds, you weren't even a fertilized egg.]

Chen Fan was so shaken by the voice suddenly exploding in his mind that his chopsticks trembled.

Here it comes again! Here it comes again!

Can you not rest for a moment!

Brother Jing Ci kindly gave up his seat, and you can still interpret eight hundred layers of conspiracy out of it?!

And what is this "dragon head"?

What "overlooking ten thousand miles of sea of clouds"?

Why don't you say you were also in the High Heaven Hall playing Landlord with the Jade Emperor!

Chen Fan's mouth twitched, and he decided to ignore the voice pack once again.

Just as he was about to speak and continue politely declining,

Chen Xuening, sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke up.

"Chen Fan, just sit here."

"..."

The eldest sister's voice was cool and crisp, carrying a decisive Aura.

She put down the porridge bowl in her hand, raised her eyes to glance at Chen Fan, then looked at Chen Jingci, and said expressionlessly:

"Xiao Ci is giving it to you, so just take it."

"Stop pushing it back and forth, the porridge is about to get cold."

"And he wasn't wrong either; this was originally your seat to begin with."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Jianguo and his wife nodded in agreement one after another, telling their dear son to sit down quickly.

At the same time, they cast a somewhat complicated glance at their adopted son.

At first, they thought the adopted son was genuinely giving up his seat, and were even exclaiming that Xiao Ci was truly kind and didn't fight or contend.

But after listening to their dear son's inner voice, they couldn't help but doubt the adopted son's behavioral motives.

Could it really be "retreating as a means of advancing", deliberately put on for them to see?

Impossible, right!

How could Xiao Ci possibly have such deep schemes?!

"Thank you, family!"

"Then I shall respectfully obey!"

"..."

Under the strong demand of his family, Chen Fan sat in the seat that originally belonged to the Fake Young Master with a face full of emotion.

Seeing this scene,

Chen Jingci only felt it was extremely glaring, and a wave of displeasure surged deep within his heart.

Although at first, it was he who suggested that Chen Fan sit in that position,

seeing his parents and sisters offer no dissuasion and agree just like that without a second thought still made him feel a wave of frustration.

This was his exclusive seat that he had accompanied them in sitting in for eighteen years!

Now that he was giving it up, wouldn't the family at least strongly object, or at least try to stop it on the surface? Or comfort him a bit?!

Could it be?

Do they really not care about his feelings in the slightest???

Can mere blood relations really outweigh eighteen years of depending on each other through thick and thin???

No, no, no! I absolutely do not believe it ahhhhh!!!!!
