Chapter 436 - 436: Stern Reprimand

“Gu Huanhuan, let me repeat it once more: you’re not suited for the entertainment industry. It’s a cesspool, and look at you now, daring to go out dressed like that,” Gu Shaoting said solemnly.

This kind of girl thought being a celebrity meant glitz and glamour every day, without realizing the various unwritten rules behind the scenes. Gu Huanhuan pouted. “You all don’t care about me anymore, or how I feel.” Tears were starting to well up in the young girl’s eyes.

“Sir, the clean clothes are ready, and the guest room is tidied up,” Mrs. Li chimed in at the opportune moment, just as Gu Shaoting was about to reprimand Gu Huanhuan.

“Get yourself cleaned up first. I’ll be waiting for you in the living room,” Gu Shaoting said before walking away.

Gu Huanhuan made faces behind his back. Such a cold-hearted person, always with a stern face. No wonder he still didn’t have a girlfriend.

“Miss, you should wash up quickly to avoid catching a cold. I’ll make you some ginger tea later,” Mrs. Li said. She didn’t know who had been brought here, but seeing how much Mr. Gu valued her, she must be important.

“Mrs. Li, right? Thank you. Do you know if my cousin usually brings anyone else here?” Gu Huanhuan asked, observing the newly renovated villa. Despite Imowing her brother’s extensive properties, the fact that someone had been assigned to look after this place indicated that someone was coming to stay. But with such a large house, was it really just for him?

Gu Huanhuan was brimming with curiosity.

Mrs. Li, upon hearing her address Mr. Gu as “cousin,” realized that who the girl was.

“Miss, I’ve only been here for a short time, so I haven’t seen anyone else come. Mr. Gu has only visited twice and arranged for someone to buy some daily necessities,” Mrs. Li said, feeling awkvvard. Even if she knew more, she couldn’t just gossip; working in such a wealthy household required discretion. “Okay,” Gu Huanhuan said dejectedly. She had hoped to glean some gossip about her brother.

“In that case, I’ll go prepare some ginger tea for you,” Mrs. Li said, noticing the cooling weather. The young girl seemed resistant to the cold and was dressed so lightly—it would be strange if she didn’t catch a cold.

“Thank you, Mrs. Li,” Gu Huanhuan said as she began to clean up. She was thinking of ways to coax her brother. Once he agreed, it would be as good as the entire family’s approval.

Her brother had a lot of say in the household affairs.

After Gu Huanhuan emerged and found the living room empty, she inwardly rejoiced, thinking she had dodged another lecture. Little did she know, things wouldn’t go as she hoped.

Gu Shaoting returned after just stepping outside for a smoke.

“Tomorrow, you’re going back home. Find a decent job and behave yourself. Otherwise, if you want a position at Gu Group, you can pick it yourself,” Gu Shaoting cut to the chase, making a decision for her.

“I don’t want to,” Gu Huanhuan protested.

“Are you itching for trouble. Gu Huanhuan?” Gu Shaoting showed signs of

growing anger.

Although infuriated, Gu Huanhuan dared not push too far.

Because she knew her cousin was always firm in his decisions. Though he spoiled her, he never compromised on matters of principle.

Throughout her childhood, she never did anything he forbade.

Back then, it was normal for him to be strict. But now, in her early twenties, he still intervened.

Was there something wrong with him mentally or physically for not pursuing romantic relationships and instead focusing on controlling her?

Well, maybe nobody was interested in him anyway. Even as an incredibly beautiful girl, she thought bitterly, he still treated her with such a heart of stone. He deserved to be single..
