Chapter 921 Tomb Raider Notes 9
Huo Xiuxiu suppressed a laugh and explained, "Wu Si, we had something come up and had to leave early, and then... then we just happened to see you guys racing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi realized that she was telling the truth.
"Alright, brother, let's go back and talk. It's so late, we can't keep everyone here talking to us."
She still has some pride; it's inconvenient to act recklessly when there are outsiders present, and besides, she'll have someone to talk to when she gets back.
When I was speeding, I was so engrossed in the car that I didn't really pay attention to my surroundings or whether there were any familiar people or cars around.
Gu Wufeng saw through her plan at a glance and exposed it without hesitation.
"You want to go back and get help, right? Mom is still awake at this hour. She's soft-hearted and won't be able to scold you if she sees you like this."
After saying that, he changed the subject again: "But it's good to go back, let Mom and Dad talk to you. They didn't know you were so bold before."
Although everyone in the family knew what Gu Wusi was usually like, they had never seen him act so crazy as he did today.
Tilting the accelerator pedal to the floor could lead to a fatal accident, resulting in tears from loved ones.
"I'll take Xiaoluolu home first," Gu Wusi suggested helplessly.
Gu Wufeng rejected her suggestion: "I'll have someone take her home. You just come home with me first."
If you send her off now, she definitely won't be home tonight; there are precedents for this.
Gu Wusi: I'm innocent! There's a precedent, but it was the original owner of this body who was wronged, not me.
Hearing that she could leave, Wang Guiluo quickly ran over and said, "No need, no need, Brother Gu, I can ride my bike back by myself."
"That works too. Wusi, give your car keys to Xiao Wang."
Gu Wusi pursed his lips and tossed the keys over.
Wang Guiluo took the car keys, left with a big smile, and patted Gu Wusi on the shoulder in a comforting gesture.
Not at all, I felt no guilt about leaving my best friend behind.
Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu also suggested going back.
"Mr. Gu, then Xiuxiu and I will take our leave now."
"Alright, Mr. Xie and Ms. Huo, please take care."
"Wusi, I'll contact you another day, don't forget." Huo Xiuxiu said to Gu Wusi before leaving.
"Hmm." Gu Wusi nodded casually.
After the two got into the car and left, Gu Wusi obediently followed Gu Wufeng into the car as well.
The car was quiet on the way back, and no one spoke.
Gu Wufeng rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to rest.
Gu Wusi was lost in thought, realizing that it would definitely be inconvenient for her to go out in the next few days.
I'm not worried at all about the three-way interrogation I'll face when I get back.
At most, I'll get a lecture and then be locked up at home for a few days.
This was the result whenever the original owner committed a crime or angered their family.
That's why her personality hasn't changed over the years.
But it can't be changed, after all, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
Since I had some free time at home, I decided to try out the Bloodline Tracking Technique.
Back home, to everyone's surprise, Gu Wufeng didn't take Gu Wusi to meet his parents.
He said, "Alright, Mom and Dad are getting old, and I'm worried that their excessive worry about you will affect their health, so I'll let you off the hook today. But you have to promise that you will never speed like you did tonight again."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll try my best not to ride motorcycles anymore and just drive a car properly when I go out."
You can speed while driving, but not in special circumstances, and you won't speed that fast.
Gu Wufeng knew this too, and he snorted as a reluctant agreement.
Seeing Gu Wusi's downcast eyes, she couldn't bear to put on a cold face.
Today is my younger sister's birthday, so we should make her happy.
"Stay home for the next two days to learn your lesson. Just tell me what you need to buy, as long as you don't go out and have too much fun."
Ultimately, he couldn't bear to punish his sister too harshly.
Judging from her bowed head, she must have realized her mistake, right?
Gu Wusi lowered his head, clearly trying to hide the emotions in his eyes.
She readily agreed, her face full of emotion: "Big brother, you're the best. You're my favorite big brother."
In her heart, she thought, "This is just my family spoiling me."
The original owners all died because of speeding.
How could such a lenient approach possibly change oneself, let alone the original owner of this body?
However, the Gu family's kindness towards the original owner was undeniable.
When I got back to my own yard, it was already 10:30.
After Gu Wusi finished tidying herself up, she saw that a corner of the room was piled with the birthday gifts she had received that day.
Unwrapping gifts before bed can be quite fun.
She opened the gifts from her family first.
What Grandpa Gu gave was a file folder. When you opened it, you saw that he was giving you 10% of the company's shares, the kind that would bring in hundreds of millions in dividends every year.
As expected of the head of the family, he is generous and domineering. The person who gives money is the most handsome.
Next up were Grandma Gu, Brother Gu, and Sister-in-law Gu.
One company gave away eight storefronts, another gave away two villas, and the third gave away three apartments.
And they are all located in good areas of Beijing with high housing prices.
Did these three plan this out? Did they all give away houses?
However, no one would complain about having too much money, and the wealthy woman Gu Wusi was quite happy.
Opening the gift box given by my nephew Gu Yunchuan, I found a set of car keys inside. It was the latest model sports car. Sure enough, people who join the company are generous.
Gu Yunxiao had previously given her the latest bracelet, and later gave her a necklace as well.
He said he saw it while shopping and thought it suited Gu Wusi, so he bought it on purpose.
Other people, especially those I'm close to, give me all sorts of new and interesting things.
Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu, representing their families, only sent items that were sure to be safe and reliable.
As for Huo Xiuxiu's personal gift, it's jewelry suitable for gifting to girls.
It must have been specially selected to match Gu Wusi's style.
After unwrapping the gifts, I tidied them all up and then washed my hands.
Gu Wusi went to bed and slept well as always.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Gu Wusi lay on the sofa in the living room, his gaze unfocused, eating a small plate of cherries.
Xiao Qi: "Host, weren't you going to use tracking magic to find your family? Why are you still spacing out?"
"You know that using magic requires consuming life essence, so I have to absorb some spiritual energy first."
After arriving here, my cultivation level was suppressed to a very low level, although a small tracking technique didn't affect anything.
But that requires your own essence and blood, so take care of yourself.
Okay, actually I was just making up an excuse to eat fruit after I had a very full lunch.
"How much spiritual energy can this fruit have? You might as well eat some pills."
Gu Wusi continued to zone out: "Why take medicine for no reason? Pills, pills, pills, pills and medicine, I don't have a habit of taking medicine unless I want to look better, then I can make myself look pleasing to the eye."
"Hehe, has the host finished inhaling?"
"almost."
After saying that, Gu Wusi put the plate in his hand on the coffee table.
She sat up, crossed her legs, and placed two fingers together on her chest.
