Mr. Gu’s little stand-in
Mr. Gu’s little stand-in: Chapter 6 Cakes Won’t Sprout and Grow

It seemed that Gu Yingyi disliked him from the first time they met, because Shen Yu was stupid and no one likes a stupid person.

  Gu Yingyi went out to wash his hands irritably. Shen Yu squatted on the ground and picked up the candies one by one, crying as he did so.

  ”Husband, hate Yu Yu because he is stupid and always makes mistakes. No one likes him.”

  …………

Shen Yu didn’t see Gu Yingyi for the next few days. He heard from his aunt that Gu Yingyi was very busy recently and went on a business trip.

  When Gu Yingyi is not around, Shen Yu can let the Shiba Inu out to run around in the garden. The cake that was “planted” last time was dug out by his aunt, and Shen Yu then realized that the cake would not sprout and grow at all, it would only rot in the soil.

  In order to comfort Shen Yu, the aunt bought a lot of sunflower seeds and put them in the greenhouse so that Shen Yu could see sunflowers in winter.

  It was a sunny day, and the long-awaited winter in City A was warming up. Shen Yu was holding his Shiba Inu in the yard to bask in the sun. Aunt Chen said that there was a man at the door who claimed to be Shen Yu’s brother and wanted to see him.

  The man who came was Zhang Fu, the son of the housekeeper who had raised him for ten years. After the housekeeper passed away, Zhang Fu raised him in his grandmother’s place.

  Zhang Fu was not nice to Shen Yu. He often withheld his living expenses and beat Shen Yu many times. Shen Yu was subconsciously afraid of Zhang Fu, but the housekeeper was very kind to him, so Shen Yu always called Zhang Fu brother.

  Zhang Fu looked around the villa as soon as he entered the door, and couldn’t help but show envy. He sat on the sofa and asked Shen Yu to pour him a cup of tea. “Give me a glass of water. It’s not easy to find this place from so far away. I’m so thirsty.”

  Shen Yu timidly called out, “Brother.”

  Seeing that Shen Yu was always slow in doing anything, Zhang Fu didn’t expect him to pour water. He poured himself a cup of herbal tea on the table and drank it. Aunt Chen brought him some fruit. Zhang Fu crossed his legs and took a bite of an apple on the table. “Tsk, rich people are different. Even their apples taste better than those outside.”

  Zhang Fu said while eating an apple, thinking of the purpose of this trip, “Shen Yu, give me some money. I’m not feeling well and need to see a doctor. You know my life is very difficult. Now that you’re successful, you can’t forget me.”

  Zhang Fu said he was not feeling well, but he did not look like he needed to see a doctor. Shen Yu had no money. Gu Yingyi had never given him any. However, he had no worries about food and clothing here, so he did not need to spend money. He said truthfully, “Brother, I don’t have any money.”

  ”You have no money?! Who the hell would believe you if you said you had no money when you married Gu Yingyi? You just don’t want to give? Okay, Shen Yu, now that you’re so powerful, you don’t recognize this brother anymore. Don’t forget who raised you for more than ten years.” Zhang Fu smashed the half-eaten apple on the coffee table and shouted at the top of his voice.

  Shen Yu instinctively shrank back. He really didn’t have much money on him. Although Zhang Fu treated him badly, the housekeeper did raise him for a long time. He went to his bedroom and took out a few cash bills and handed them to Zhang Fu. “This is all I have.”

  Zhang Fu’s eyelids twitched, and he knocked the money out of Shen Yu’s hand, “Five hundred? How the hell are you sending away beggars?”

  ”Brother, I really don’t.”

  ”Shen Yu, my brother is really sick and needs money for medical treatment. If you don’t have money, just ask Gu Yingyi. He must have money.” Seeing that Shen Yu really couldn’t take out the money, Zhang Fu immediately pretended to be pitiful.

  Shen Yu frowned in embarrassment. He didn’t want to ask Gu Yingyi for money, but he didn’t have any money to give to Zhang Fu. He thought for a long time before saying, “I will find a way.”

  Zhang Fu automatically thought that Shen Yu agreed to ask Gu Yingyi for money after hearing this. He smiled falsely and said, “Brother knows that you love me well. Remember to call me when you have money.”

  Shen Yu pursed his lips and nodded.

  When Zhang Fu left, he did not forget to put the five hundred yuan on the ground into his pocket, and then took the fruit on the table.

  The idea Shen Yu was thinking of was to knit woolen dolls and sell them online. This was taught to him by his housekeeper. At the beginning, Shen Yu knitted a lot of small animal dolls and gave them to the children in the welfare home. The director thought they were nice and took photos and posted them online. Unexpectedly, many people liked them and left comments asking if there were any for sale. After that, the director taught Shen Yu how to take photos and put them online. His dolls were not expensive, usually between 30 and 50 yuan for a doll. After he started to do it himself, many people came to him to place customized orders.

  Soon after he posted the photo online, he received a message from a user named Stubborn Little Corgi asking him if he could order 100 bunny dolls. He said he needed them recently and hoped they could be made as soon as possible, and he was willing to pay double the price for expedited delivery.

  Shen Yu’s eyes lit up, and he counted on his fingers for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out. He couldn’t believe that someone wanted to order a hundred of them. A doll was 50 yuan, so 100 of them would be a lot of money!

  And he was willing to pay double, which was even more.

  [“Sure!”] Shen Yu replied immediately.

  The other party asked Shen Yu for his contact information, and as soon as he added him, he transferred a deposit of 5,000 yuan.

  Shen Yu knitted the doll in his bedroom all night long. Ten days passed quickly. When he was almost finished, he realized that the yarn balls at home were not enough. After he told Aunt Chen about it, Aunt Chen took him out to buy some.

  That five hundred yuan was not enough for Zhang Fu. He had been waiting for almost ten days, but Shen Yu still hadn’t called him. He couldn’t wait any longer and ran to Gu Yingyi’s house again, but no one was at home. He just squatted outside the villa, cursing and waiting for people to come back.

  Shen Yu hadn’t come back yet, but Gu Yingyi and his assistant came back first. Zhang Fu squatted at the gate waiting for a long time, his feet were numb from the cold. Finally, he heard a sound and saw that it was Shen Yu behind the car. He immediately stood up and blocked the way in front of the car. The driver slammed on the brakes and Gu Yingyi frowned in displeasure.

  The assistant said, “Sir, someone stopped the car.”

  Gu Yingyi said nothing and looked away indifferently.

  It looks very unfamiliar, but somewhat familiar.

  The car windows were anti-peeping. People inside could see outside clearly, but people outside could not see inside. Zhang Fu knocked on the car window hard, trying to look inside, but he could not see anything. He shouted, “Shen Yu! You are so bold. It’s been a few days. Did you get the money you asked me to pay? You are teasing me. Don’t think I won’t beat you up just because you are married to Gu Yingyi. Do you really think I am a vegetarian?”

  Zhang Fu?

  Gu Yingyi finally recognized who was the person making trouble outside the window. The car that kidnapped Shen Chao accidentally crashed into the sea. In the video recorded by the salvaged track recorder, the two kidnappers mentioned Zhang Fu’s name, but the recorder was severely damaged and only had a short content. Gu Yingyi immediately sent people to investigate Zhang Fu, but they never found this person. He didn’t expect that he would be found on his doorstep.

“Hey! Shen Yu! I’m talking to you! You… Mr. Gu?” Zhang Fu’s voice stopped abruptly as the car window rolled down.
