The Stinking Man Seducing My Little Brother

Honestly, with a production crew stacked with this many debuffs, let alone having Chu Tian join the cast with his own investment, he only wanted to urge Chu Tian to think twice.

"This production is far too mediocre, whether in terms of the director's ability or the cast and crew," Wu Hui advised the young master as tactfully as possible, afraid of provoking his rebellious streak. "If you want to act, there are plenty of more suitable scripts to consider. If none of the current scripts satisfy you, President Chu can invest in one himself!"

Chu Tian might dare say he wanted to join the cast of Nine Provinces Sword with his own money, but Wu Hui did not dare submit such a trash plan.

"You don't understand." Chu Tian shook his head and reprimanded Wu Hui with the air of an old man. "You need to take the long view. The production may look lousy now, but it has a lot of potential! You have to trust me! It's settled, then. I'm joining the cast tomorrow!"

Wu Hui: "..."

Chu Tian hung up at lightning speed, let out a long breath, and happily took the subway home—

Chu Tian, a clear-eyed yet foolish ordinary college student, had retained the habits of ordinary people even after becoming the young master of a wealthy family.

Then he stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up, and froze.

Why were rich people's hobbies all so detached from reality?

Living in a sparsely populated suburb was one thing—you could call that getting away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature—but why did they have to live halfway up a mountain?!

God knew how much effort it had taken Chu Tian to walk all the way here from the subway station on his own two legs. He was already exhausted, and now he still had to climb a mountain!

Good heavens, what kind of terrible adventure was this?!

Beep beep—

A car horn sounded behind him, interrupting Chu Tian's silent fury. When he turned around, the anger had yet to leave his eyes.

Chu Maoming: "?"

"What are you standing around here for?" Chu Maoming stuck his head out the car window and looked at Chu Tian in confusion. "Can't find your way home?"

Chu Tian: "..."

Without a word, Chu Tian lowered his head and charged into the back seat of Chu Maoming's car.

Seeing his flushed little face and sweat-soaked hair, Chu Maoming was even more puzzled. "Why didn't you call the driver to pick you up when you came back?"

Huh?

Chu Tian, who had been sprawled bonelessly across the seat, shot upright. There was a driver?!

Chu Tian could hardly say that he had forgotten, so he merely mumbled an indistinct "Mm."

Chu Maoming started the car and drove up the mountain. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Wu Hui told me you're planning to act? That's good. Looks like this hobby of yours might last a little longer this time."

Chu Tian was not surprised that the news had reached Chu Maoming's ears so quickly. He grunted and slowly reclined against the seat again, secretly massaging his aching legs.

"That boyfriend of yours..." Chu Maoming paused, seeming somewhat reluctant to say it. "He's all right."

Chu Tian abruptly sat upright again and stared in disbelief at the back of Chu Maoming's round head.

Hadn't Chu Maoming disliked Gu Shiyan before, looking like he wanted to break the legs of that stinking man who had seduced his little brother?

They had only met once today, yet Chu Maoming had already changed his opinion of Gu Shiyan?

Curiosity gnawed at Chu Tian's heart, and he wanted even more to know what the two had discussed when they were alone.

Chu Tian had originally thought the Chu family's home was remote, but when he saw the magnificent six-story villa before him, sprawling across an enormous area as though nestled within a garden, he swallowed hard.

Only at that moment did he finally gain some real sense of his identity as a rich second-generation heir.

The more glorious things were now, the more heartbreaking it would be when the family was dragged down by "Chu Tian" and destroyed.

But the current Chu Tian was no longer that cannon fodder character who had received his death notice early on. Now, he was Chu Niohuru Tian!

The Chu Tian in the original novel had been wiped out by the protagonist's halo after only three chapters, yet he was still alive and kicking now. That meant that as long as he did not provoke the male lead, the tragedy that had befallen this character would not happen!

Having realized this truth, Chu Tian's heart surged with emotion, and he became even more determined to get along well with Gu Shiyan.

But he could not put all his eggs in one basket. He still needed to prepare for both possibilities.

One measure was to build a good relationship with Gu Shiyan and change his cannon fodder fate. The other was to make a lot of money and prepare retirement funds for his parents and brother, just in case.

But compared with his initial plan, now that he had seen his family's financial power, Chu Tian slightly changed his mind.

He could only enter the entertainment industry under his brother's protection, and the limit of his own abilities was low. Dreaming of becoming a first- or second-tier celebrity was basically wishful thinking.

It would be difficult for him to make a fortune on his own, but what if he got his brother to invest?

His advantage over everyone else was that he had read the original novel and stood from a god's-eye view.

He knew which variety shows and dramas in the industry would become popular. As long as he could persuade Chu Maoming to invest, wouldn't the money come rolling in?

Chu Tian instantly became excited. He pulled out a little notebook and racked his brain to recall the plot, writing down every future hit project he knew of.

*

Because Chu Tian had been too excited the night before, his nerves had been so stimulated that he could not sleep. He had only barely fallen asleep at dawn, and even his dreams were about making money.

When Wu Hui hauled him out of his blankets, his eyes had not even opened.

"Wh-what," Chu Tian mumbled, his mind hazy and his voice weak. "I want to sleep... sleep..."

"Oh, my young master." Wu Hui gently patted Chu Tian's cheeks with his palm, trying to wake him up a little. "Didn't you say you were joining the cast today? I contacted the director and got you the role of the sixth male lead. You have scenes today."

Chu Tian jolted awake a little. He remembered that he had been the one to insist on it yesterday. He had not expected Wu Hui to move so quickly, but he was really sleepy...

Chu Tian was practically dragged out of bed by Wu Hui to wash up. Even when he was taken downstairs, his eyes were still closed.

Seeing this, Chu Maoming, who was eating breakfast at the dining table, furrowed his brow into a deep knot. "If you're sleepy, go back and keep sleeping. It's not like the family can't afford to support you."

Chu Tian had lived in comfort and accomplished nothing for so many years. There was no reason for him to lose sleep just to earn such a tiny bit of pay.

"N-no," Chu Tian shook his head like a rattle drum and muttered, "I still need to earn retirement money for my brother, and my parents. I-I can do it!"

As he spoke, Chu Tian tried hard to wake himself up. His eyes finally managed to open a sliver.

Chu Maoming was so angered by his foolish words that he laughed. "You?"

Not to mention that the Chu family was wealthy enough that they did not need Chu Tian to support them, even if they really had to rely on him, the little money he earned would not even be enough to support himself. Where did he get the nerve to talk so big?

"Just wait! Sooner or later, I'll show you what I'm capable of." Chu Tian gave a heavy snort. "Hmph, mortal."

Chu Maoming: "..." Why did his hands suddenly itch to beat up his little brother?

Wu Hui was so embarrassed that his toes curled. After greeting Chu Maoming, he swiftly carried the not-yet-fully-awake Chu Tian into the car.

Chu Tian hugged the breakfast and script Wu Hui had stuffed into his arms, yawned, and suddenly remembered something.

"How are those people who went to the police station yesterday? Has the police report been released yet?"
