Chapter 1097: You Profiteer!

The man nodded gravely, as if confiding a royal secret. "Yes, Su Shen and I go way back—war buddies, you know. We’ve literally had each other’s backs in life-or-death situations. These days, we dabble in business together from time to time, make a little money here and there. So you—" he jabbed a finger for emphasis, "—you’d better treat Su Shen like your own blood brother. Show him proper respect."

Chen Xi rolled his eyes dramatically. "Oh please. Life-and-death, my foot. You sold him this dump, didn’t you? Real touching friendship. You’re nothing but a profiteer!"

Just then, Gu Zi, who had noticed Su Li taking a suspiciously long time to answer the door, wandered out to investigate. Her perfectly arched brows drew together as she caught the end of Chen Xi’s critique. "What’s wrong with the house?" she asked, voice clipped. "Su Li, who’s here?"

Su Li jumped in quickly, "Mom, it’s Dad’s army buddy. And that guy who lost to Big Brother on the train—Chen Xi."

Chen Xi gave up resisting fate. He wasn’t even offended by the way Su Li introduced him. Seeing Gu Zi, he launched into his warning like a public service announcement. "Gu Zi, since we are uni mates, I have to be honest with you—this house is not livable. You see, this place used to..."

Before he could finish, he was abruptly cut off—quite literally—with a swift kick from his older brother that sent him stumbling forward.

How could this clueless kid not have any sense of decorum? First time visiting someone’s home and he’s already insulting their property? Honestly, Chen Yu thought, that kick had been too polite.

Chen Xi staggered toward the ground and, as fate would have it, landed face-to-snout with a massive dog—fangs bared, eyes gleaming. He nearly wet himself on the spot. "G-Gu Zi! Help me! I’m scared!"

Gu Zi called out with practiced calm, "Big Yellow, sit." The big dog immediately pulled back his lips, tucked in those terrifying teeth, and obediently retreated to his doghouse, tail wagging like a good boy.

She didn’t push the subject any further. Livable or not, they’d already moved in. There was no turning back now. If there was something seriously wrong, she’d get to the bottom of it later.

For now, she turned to the two men. "So what brings you both here looking for Su Shen?"

Chen Yu stepped forward with the poise of a man who believed first impressions mattered. "Hello, I’m Chen Yu. And this is my younger brother, Chen Xi. Imagine the coincidence—who would’ve thought you two were uni mates? I heard you moved in, so I brought my little brother along for a formal visit."
