Chapter 233: There are plenty of ways to deal with this kind of person

Gu Jianfa stared at this overly familiar young man, always feeling he had been scolded, but after thinking it over, this kid was actually quite polite and well-behaved.

But it was useless!

Today I'll give you a show of force to see.

Gu Jianfa narrowed his eyes to size up Wu An, thinking how much money he could extort from this kid.

After Wu An exchanged greetings, he no longer paid any attention to Gu Jianfa.

He naturally knew what kind of person Gu Jianfa was; the first-time greeting was purely to give Gu Anran's grandmother face.

He looked toward Gu Anran.

Unlike her usual ponytail, today she let her hair down, but it was neatly combed; as the wind blew, a few strands fluttered.

Beneath her slender willow brows, her bright eyes sparkled with liveliness, showing delight; her lips, lightly coated with red lipstick, were lusciously tempting.

She wore light makeup today, which made her skin appear even more white with a hint of red, giving her an elegant, unworldly air.

Though her clothing was simple, it had not a single wrinkle, clearly having been carefully tended.

Just a glance.

And he couldn't move his gaze away.

"Hey!" Gu Jianfa couldn't help waving his hand in front of Wu An's eyes; he had said it several times, but Wu An ignored him completely, and he couldn't stand it: "Kid, can you listen to what I'm saying?"

"What?"

"I said, can you listen to what I'm saying?"

"Oh, I heard that sentence you said."

Gu Jianfa stared blankly for a moment, thought it over, then realized and loudly demanded: "I'm asking you, who did you just call 'uncle'?"

"You." Wu An replied impatiently, really annoyed, it was affecting his eye contact with Gu Anran.

"Who told you to call me uncle?"

"Is there a problem?"

"There is a problem, it's inappropriate..."

"Since you think it's inappropriate, let's just each stick to our own, be peers?"

"You..." Gu Jianfa glared, about to shout, but Wu An spoke first, telling him to wait, then asked Gu Anran: "Anran, would you mind if I call him big brother?"

Gu Anran shook her head.

"Fine." Wu An looked at Gu Jianfa, earnestly asking: "Anran doesn't mind, I don't mind either, but if I call you big brother, do you dare accept?"

"I'll accept your ass!" Gu Jianfa roared: "You don't mind, but I damn well mind!"

"Can you call me big brother?"

"You can't even call me big brother." Wu An frowned, sighed; "You're really hard to please."

"Alright, alright, for Anran's sake."

"Then I'll reluctantly call you... younger brother."

"But, younger brother, one should know one's limits; pretending to be young is fine, but don't overdo it—your stubble and that Mediterranean hairstyle—do you realize that calling you 'younger brother' makes me feel like I'm about to vomit?"

Gu Jianfa was completely dumbfounded.

He now suspected this person had a brain problem!

Gu Anran let out a "pfft" laugh, saying: "Enough, stop teasing him; he's not bright, he can't keep up."

Wu An watched her smile, like peach blossoms blooming all over the garden, the fine drizzling weather made everything feel much brighter, and he also smiled, saying: "It's fine."

"I'm teasing him just to make you happy."

"Let's go."

Gu Anran turned back, opened the door, and Wu An rode his vehicle into the courtyard.

"Here I am." The old lady stood under the eaves, waving: "It's still raining, come inside quickly."

Wu An got off the vehicle.

Gu Anran held an umbrella, and the two walked over together.

"Grandma, you can call me A An." Wu An greeted without ceremony, took off his raincoat, and Gu Anran took it and hung it up.

The old lady beamed: "A An, nice name."

"Last time I just said hello at night, didn't look closely, just saw he was tall; now I see he's also quite handsome."

"Come, let's have tea and chat."

Gu Anran pulled over a chair, and the two sat side by side.

Gu Jianfa walked over, only able to lean against the door frame.

He took a sip of tea.

The old lady probed indirectly about Wu An's family situation; Wu An didn't hide anything, briefly described his family circumstances, and also said he had become a fisherman, just bought a small fishing boat, and goes out to sea every day to catch fish.

Gu Jianfa commented: "Fishermen aren't much."

"Coming and going with wind and rain, not at all stable."

"These days, every year there are fishermen who meet with accidents at sea."

The old lady scolded him to shut up.

Gu Jianfa snorted twice: "Besides, I checked the gift you bought—it's just so-so, average."

If it were someone else, their face would probably have fallen.

But Wu An's expression remained normal.

He had long known what kind of person Gu Jianfa was, and naturally was mentally prepared.

The old lady sighed, saying: "A An, you've had to watch a joke."

Wu An shook his head, glanced at Gu Jianfa.

Hmm.

After confirming the look, he is the one to be dealt with.

Fortunately he isn't Tang San; otherwise, Gu Jianfa's conduct would already be a death‑worthy offense.

Wu An thought of this corny joke, feeling amused himself, while the old lady and Gu Anran regarded Gu Jianfa as a formidable opponent; he, instead, was the most relaxed.

He also proactively asked Gu Jianfa about his gambling situation; expecting it to be his "professional domain," Gu Jianfa was very talkative, saying all sorts of things and even mentioning his friends.

In response to Wu An's leading questions, Gu Jianfa said one of his friends is named Guang Liangjun.

Wu An narrowed his eyes.

Very good.

These two have come together.

Gu Anran didn't want to hear Gu Jianfa brag about the gambling table, got up to check the kitchen, saying the stewed soup was ready. The old lady also got up to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Wu An couldn't let the old lady do the work, so he hurriedly stepped forward to show his willingness.

While serving the dishes.

Gu Anran whispered: "You don't need to specially curry favor with Gu Jianfa."

Wu An shook his head: "I'm not trying to curry favor with him."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

Gu Anran: "?"

Wu An smiled, without further explanation.

He came prepared.

Although only the old lady and Gu Anran were at home, he still brought a case of liquor, and without waiting for Gu Jianfa to speak, he directly opened two bottles.

He placed one bottle in front of himself, and with a "bang" put the other bottle in front of Gu Jianfa.

Gu Jianfa was startled.

Who drinks baijiu and opens two bottles right away for two people?

He asked: "What's the procedure?"

Wu An smiled: "What kind of procedure could there be? We'll just do as we please."

"Granny, what do you say?"

The old lady nodded.

The so-called "as we please" meant: you have a cup, I have a cup; after a few drinks, Gu Jianfa's face was red and neck thick, while Wu An remained composed.

Gu Jianfa waved his hand, saying he couldn't drink more, and that he still had something to say; the old lady was displeased: "You said you came to keep company, is this how you keep company?"

Gu Anran also said: "If you can't drink, don't come and embarrass yourself."

Gu Jianfa, with a bitter face, drank a cup.

Wu An saw this and shouted: "No, are you raising fish?"

Gu Jianfa then tilted his neck and drank it all.

Not long after.

He then slumped under the table.

Only then did the old lady breathe a sigh of relief; fortunately he was drunk and didn't cause any trouble.

Wu An put the liquor bottle aside, drank a cup of warm water, and said: "Granny, Anran, let's now have a peaceful meal,"

Gu Anran asked: "You drank so much liquor, are you okay?"

Wu An kicked the tissue beside his foot and said: "I've been discreetly spitting into the tissues; dealing with this kind of person, I have plenty of ways."

Gu Anran suddenly smiled.

Seeing Wu An's double entendre, he immediately felt reassured.
