Chapter 470 Mecha Model
Meng Ke had thought that Gu Shuili would have a hard time after failing in the competition, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
He was obviously not much older than her, but he was still a teenager in the interstellar space, but he showed the fatigue of a middle-aged man.
Long Yue was standing next to Gu Shuili. If Long Yue hadn't changed much, Meng Ke wouldn't have dared to confirm the identity of the person in front of him.
"What? I haven't seen you for a few years, so I don't recognize you?"
Gu Shuili seemed to have accepted the reality and teased Meng Ke casually.
Meng Ke didn't know how to respond for a moment. She clearly saw the desolate look on the face of the person walking towards her.
"Master Star Lord, would you like to invite me in and have a seat?"
"Yes! Please!"
Meng Ke immediately followed Gu Shuili's instructions and invited the person in.
What surprised Meng Ke was that Marshal Gu and her cheap dad were both here, and Luo Tian was receiving them.
After meeting the two elders, Meng Ke immediately asked Luo Tian: "Where is Qingyou?"
Generally speaking, Luo Tian doesn’t like to come out to receive other people at home, unless the guest is his brother.
Today, Qingyou was at home and Luo Tian came out to entertain guests, which was a bit unexpected.
"Brother You is busy."
Meng Ke looked into Luo Tian's eyes and waited for what to say next. She had a hunch that something was wrong, as Luo Tian had clearly glared at her with resentment just now.
"Brother You is in the reception room."
After saying this, Luo Tian nodded in the hall next to him.
Meng Ke greeted her cheap dad, handed over the task of entertaining the guests to him, and then stood up taking Luo Tian's hand.
She had already seen that Luo Tian really didn't like chatting with people he didn't know well.
Marshal Gu didn't care. He dealt with Yan Feng every day. This man really didn't consider himself an outsider. He insisted on taking him with him when he went hunting in the trees. Alas! Marshal Gu didn't think about it. He was in his prime. It was a pity that he was old and had to retire and still couldn't rest.
Look, I felt a little embarrassed when I came to see my daughter, and I had to drag him along. It was really enough.
Marshal Gu showed an expression of disgust from time to time on his face, but even he himself did not notice that there was more smile than disgust in his eyes.
Seeing Meng Ke was about to leave, Gu Shuili got anxious and quickly stood up: "Meng Ke, can I talk to you?"
Marshal Gu paused holding the water cup and squinted at his younger generation.
He loves the younger generation, but the loser must accept the corresponding punishment. If he refuses to obey and wants to make trouble, it depends on whether he agrees or not.
Gu Shuili has been gifted since childhood and has been admired by many people. He doesn't have to worry about other people's feelings. Even the elders in the clan love him very much.
But since he failed in his fight for the position of heir to the Gu family, he has experienced all kinds of life and his mind has become sensitive and delicate.
How could he not sense the obvious warning from Marshal Gu? His heart was filled with bitterness. He still remembered that when he was sent to the main star by the side branch, this elder who was far away in the alien star domain specially ordered someone to send back a complete set of star beast bones. The core of his mecha was made of that bone. However, after he lost his qualification as heir, the mecha was also taken back by the family.
"Don't worry, Chief. I won't say anything I shouldn't, and I won't embarrass Meng Ke."
Even if Gu Shuili spoke frankly, Marshal Gu would not embarrass him in front of his younger classmates.
"Yeah! Remember what you said, go!"
Their Gu family does not allow the emergence of twins. Back then, when the side branch had dissenting ideas and wanted to nominate someone to compete with the main branch, he had said at the time that there could not be two tigers on the same mountain. Since they wanted to compete, they had to sign a military order and leave their life and death to fate and to each person's ability.
Now that Xiao Li has failed in the competition, he can't blame anyone else. If he has to blame someone, he should blame the people in the side branch who use him as a knife.
The lounge was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Although this was not a greenhouse, there were potted flowers placed everywhere. Gu Shuili's eyes fell on the fragrant gardenias on the table beside him and he gradually became lost in thought.
Long Yue and Meng Ke looked at each other, and Meng Ke saw the pleading in Long Yue's eyes.
Long Yue was also helpless. There were some things he couldn't say. He was afraid that if he said them, Gu Shuili would lose his life. After all, the military order was there. If Gu Xin felt threatened, he could take Gu Shuili's life at any time.
Meng Ke looked away. Even without seeing the depth of the water in the top families, Meng Ke could imagine how cruel it was.
"Can you give me this pot of flowers?"
Gu Shuili was not the type to ask for something good when he saw it. When he said this, he had already started to use his meager mental power to take things out of the folding warehouse of the optical computer.
"This is a mecha model I collected earlier, a one-to-one replica of my Shuili. Can I exchange it for this pot of flowers?"
He put the box containing the mecha model on the table and looked at Meng Ke with a somewhat forced smile.
It's not that he is reluctant, but he is afraid of rejection. Ever since his brain was destroyed, his mental strength dropped to F. Only then did he deeply understand the saying that self-confidence comes from strength, and his inferiority at this time also comes from strength.
He is weak, an abandoned child of the family, and his life span is only a hundred years. What hope is there for him in this life? Gu Shuili smiled self-deprecatingly.
Long Yue was a little anxious. Everyone in the upper circles knew how much Gu Shuili treasured his mecha, but ever since the mecha was sent back by his family, he often held the mecha model in a daze.
What does it mean to give the mecha model to Meng Ke now?
Long Yue was worried. He was afraid that Gu Shuili didn't care about anything and would commit suicide one day.
Gu Shuili turned his head and looked at Long Yue steadily. If there was anything in his life that truly belonged to him, it was only Long Yue.
He was born into the side branch and was extremely talented. His grandfather and parents valued him very much and told him since he was a child that he was the hope of the side branch and that one day the side branch of the Gu family would be able to stand higher and see farther than the direct line.
Then they arranged Long Yue to live with them. He was six years old that year, and Long Yue was one year older than him. They went to the same school and were in the same class. Long Yue was very outstanding and excellent in all aspects.
Grandpa said that Long Yue would be his right-hand man from now on and belong only to him.
But my grandfather never expected that everything he had worked hard for many years would fail because of his own incompetence.
He still remembers the day he lost his heir status, the look in his grandfather's eyes as he sat in the lobby. It was so cold! So cold that he couldn't help but curl up into a ball, his teeth chattering.
He knew that his grandfather wanted to take Long Yue away, but Long Yue disagreed, so he lost the family's protection and became a waste. He only had Long Yue.
But how could he be so selfish? Long Yue deserves a better future.
Finally, he finally made his request: "Meng Ke, can you help me just once? I'll do anything for you. I just ask you to take Long Yue away and keep him by your side as a bodyguard."
He is a waste, but Meng is a dual-element master. Even if he is just a guard beside her, Long Yue will have a better future.
He had heard people say before that all the major families were trying their best to push their younger generations to Meng Ke's side, but Meng Ke was not attracted by beauty, so no one had succeeded in getting the position so far.
He looked at Meng Ke, then at Long Yue. For some reason, his heart ached.
Before Meng Ke could say anything, Long Yue laughed angrily: "Are you planning to push me out? Do you think I'm an eyesore?"
Gu Shuili pursed her lips: "No!"
To make his case more convincing, he started making up stories: "Rising has a good environment, and I want to grow gardenias to make money. If you go out to work, you can make enough money to buy me a planting robot and some plant nutrient solution."
One is in charge of the outside and the other is in charge of the inside. Meng Ke raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt a little bumpy.
"This pot of gardenias is for you! We're classmates, why would you exchange it?"
"no!"
Gu Shuili reached out and carefully stroked the box on the table: "If you don't change it, just ignore what I said."
It was that ethereal look that was about to dissipate into smoke again. Long Yue was frightened and immediately stuffed the mecha model on the table into Meng Ke's hand: "Take it. Consider it as a favor to you."
Then he stood up, picked up the gardenia pot and asked Gu Shuili: "Should we plant it now?"
Gu Shuili was stunned and exclaimed: "What to plant?"
He was just looking for an excuse to arrange for Long Yue to leave, preferably with Meng Ke to go to the Insect Sea Star Region and stay far away. After the storm in the Insect Sea Star Region ended and a few months passed, Long Yue should not remember him, right?
The dead silence in Gu Shuili's eyes was so heavy that Meng Ke could see it. When she looked at Long Yue, worry appeared in their eyes.
"I've built a residential planet in the Insect Sea Star Region and I'm giving you a villa. Would you like to live there?"
If he stayed away from the main star, maybe Gu Shuili would feel better.
Who would have thought that this proposal not only did not make Gu Shuili happy, but instead made him turn pale.
I don’t understand Meng Ke, what’s going on?
