The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Chapter 229 Little things

Gu Ranle sat leisurely at the door of the wine cellar, devouring a fragrant sauce-flavored duck with relish.

She wiped the remaining oil stains from the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, then stood up, patted her butt, and leisurely returned to the house.

In the kitchen, Gu Jiu was busy as hell. All kinds of ingredients were flying in his hands, as if performing a silent symphony.

As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, she walked straight towards Gu Jiu, spread her hands, and looked dissatisfied. "Old man, you are too much! You actually changed the lock of the wine cellar door. Give me the key quickly!"

Gu Jiu didn't even raise his head, but rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You wish!"

"Why?" Gu Ranle's voice instantly rose several decibels. "I am also a member of this family. Not only did you change the door lock without telling me, but you even didn't give me the key. What do you mean? Tell me, what exactly does this mean?"

Gu Jiu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Gu Ranle's sudden action.

She suddenly lowered her head, as if something had hit her heart.

After a moment's silence, she slowly raised her head. Her originally clear eyes seemed to be covered by a thin layer of mist, flickering with tears, like the ripples on the lake in the early morning, beautiful and heartbreaking.

Her eye sockets were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, revealing a sense of unspeakable grievance and helplessness that made people want to step forward and comfort her.

The tip of her nose was slightly red, and her small lips were tightly pursed, as if she was trying her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, but she couldn't help but let the grievance show from her eyes.

"Master, do you... not love me anymore?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, like a twig swaying in the wind; although fragile, it revealed a stubbornness.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from the bottom of the heart, which made people feel pity when they heard it.

Tears kept rolling in her eyes but never fell, as if she was waiting for an answer, a response that would put her at ease and make her smile again.

Gu Jiu looked at his granddaughter in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Gu Ranle suddenly raised her hand again and wiped her eyes vigorously with the back of her hand, as if to wipe away all the grievances and tears.

She sobbed, and her crying voice sounded again, filled with endless loss and sorrow.

"It's true that love has a time limit."

"Woooooooo..."

She covered her face and her voice became choked.

After saying this, she turned around and ran out desperately, leaving only a series of messy footsteps echoing in the air.

Gu Jiu stood where he was, his eyes closely following Gu Ranle's receding figure. Finally, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

He raised this girl with great difficulty, and now she is playing tricks on him!

"Humph! I'll let you pretend! I won't give you a way out. Let's see how long you can keep pretending!"

Gu Jiu was secretly competing in his heart, with helplessness and doting written all over his face.

Gu Ranle ran all the way to the yard and waited and waited, but her grandfather never came out.

She was so depressed that the tears that she had just worked so hard to produce had long been dried up by the wind without a trace.

She stood in the huge yard, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, her face full of sadness.

That expression was as if the whole world owed her something.

Several bodyguards in the corner witnessed this scene and couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

"Miss, are you...taking pictures?" one of the bodyguards asked tentatively.

"Who is taking a photo of the young lady? But you know what, this pose is absolutely beautiful!" Another bodyguard immediately echoed, his eyes full of admiration.

"When has the young lady ever not been beautiful?" The third bodyguard also joined the discussion, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"I feel that the young lady is not taking pictures, but thinking about you." A bodyguard who seemed more insightful expressed a different opinion.

"Missing?" Others cast doubtful looks.

"Yeah! I must be missing you." He nodded firmly.

"Who are you missing?" everyone asked curiously.

"Of course it's my sweetheart." He said mysteriously, as if he had seen through everything.

"..."

The other bodyguards were speechless for a moment and gave him complicated looks.

At this moment, a bodyguard suddenly took out his mobile phone and took nine consecutive photos. The movement was so fast that it was dazzling.

"What are you doing? Posting in a nine-grid circle?" someone joked.

"Use it as a screen saver. It's much more eye-friendly than those downloaded from the Internet." He proudly showed off his mobile phone screen, his face full of pride.

"You are not interested in the young lady, are you? Buddy, what are our identities? People should know their own limitations." Another bodyguard reminded.

"Don't worry, I know myself very well and I won't indulge in wishful thinking. I just simply like all beautiful things and I don't have any blasphemous thoughts."

He quickly waved his hands to clarify, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity and helplessness.

"It's better to do so, otherwise you can imagine what the outcome will be." Another bodyguard said meaningfully, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Gu Ranle didn't realize that she was the subject of heated discussion. After looking up at the sky for a long time, she felt a little sore in her neck.

So she simply sat down on the steps at the door, rubbed her neck, and her face was full of satisfaction.

When she looked up, she noticed the sneaky bodyguards in the corner.

She smiled and waved at them, signaling them to come over.

Several bodyguards exchanged glances and murmured in their hearts: Could it be that the secret filming and private discussions were discovered?

Their faces were filled with anxiety and they walked towards Gu Ranle with heavy steps.

"Miss." There was a tremor in the bodyguards' voices.

Gu Ranle patted the steps beside her gently and motioned for them to sit down with a smile.

To the bodyguards, this smile seemed mysterious and profound.

The bodyguards looked at each other again, their hearts full of suspicion, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to sit down carefully one by one.

Their bodies were tense, their sitting postures were stiff, and they dared not even breathe, for fear of saying something wrong and angering the young lady.

Gu Ranle glanced at everyone and said in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to be so nervous, I just want to ask you for help."

"help?"

Upon hearing this, all the bodyguards trembled, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Ask them for help?

This is even more incredible than the sun rising from the west!

Alarm bells immediately went off in their hearts, and they intuitively knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

Do you want to report this to the old man quietly now?

But what if the young lady just asked them to do something small? Wouldn't it cause trouble if he made such a fuss?

As his thoughts raced, a bodyguard mustered up the courage to ask cautiously, "Miss, what do you want?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, and a hint of tentativeness.

The other bodyguards also cast concerned glances, waiting for Gu Ranle's answer.

Gu Ranle stared at the people in front of him with a smile, and said briskly: "It's actually a very small matter. Can you promise to help me with this first?"

As she spoke, she made a very small circle in the air with her hand, as if to emphasize that this was really just a trivial matter.

"What?" Everyone looked confused.

Without even mentioning what the matter is, you ask them to make a promise?

Is this request a bit excessive?

Seeing that no one responded, Gu Ranle frowned slightly, showing a little displeasure on his face, "What's wrong? It's just such a small matter, aren't you willing to lend a hand?"

At this time, one of them, after receiving the eye contact from the other companions, gritted his teeth and spoke nervously: "Miss, it's not that we don't want to help, but you have to tell us what it is first. Our abilities are limited. If we agree to it first and then fail to complete the task, that would not be appropriate, right? Otherwise, you can first tell us what this little thing is, so that we can measure it according to our own abilities."

Gu Ranle was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and snorted, "Humph, if you don't want to help, forget it. Then when I go out tomorrow, none of you can follow me!"

Once these words were spoken, it was a naked threat.

It seems that no matter whether this matter is really small or not, they have to agree to it "without hesitation".

They are not asking for help at all. They are simply forced to make a helpless choice due to life's circumstances.

Everyone felt so miserable.

Therefore, they could only bite the bullet and prepare to face this unknown "little favor" with helplessness.

A smug smile spread across Gu Ranle's face. He gently hooked his fingers at the people around him, signaling them to lower their heads and come closer to him.

After muttering in a low voice for a while, she raised her eyebrows slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

Everyone looked at each other silently, their eyes full of hesitation and uneasiness.

"Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Finally, someone mustered up the courage and spoke cautiously.

Gu Ranle gently waved her hand and said confidently, "Just go ahead and do it. I'll back you up. What are you afraid of?"

The man seemed to want to say something, and spoke again: "Miss, if that's the case, why don't you go there in person?"

Facing the bodyguard's question, Gu Ranle's mouth twitched a few times.

She cleared her throat. "If I have to do everything myself, then what do I need you bodyguards for? Stop talking nonsense. You have already promised me. You can't go back on your word, otherwise all your bonuses for this month will be deducted!"

"What?!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in unison when they heard this, with looks of shock on their faces.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle raised a playful smile and continued, "Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person. If you can successfully complete the task, this month's bonus will be doubled!"

“Double the prize money!”

These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

For these workers, this is an irresistible temptation.

Their eyes instantly became hot, as if they saw piles of money waving at them.

"We will make sure to complete the task!" One of them spoke first, his voice firm and powerful.

Others also echoed it, rubbing their hands, and eager to try it out.

Gu Ranle looked at their high morale and nodded with satisfaction.

"Then let's start now!"
