From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 176 - 87: The Gu Family’s Three Little Bears
Looking back at the past, Gu Ningxuan felt like he was a robot made of iron, the kind with a human skin, his endurance was astonishing.
Under the iron-fisted education of his father, he had made it from infancy to the present, and it was truly remarkable that he hadn’t gone insane.
He had countless times wished to break away from that kind of life, to overthrow all the pressure weighing down on him... Yet now that he had the life he once longed for, his heart felt empty, and he blamed himself for not cherishing the past.
Although the training was tough, the love from his mother never diminished, and though his father always had a stern face, when he was extremely tired from training, his father would reach out and hold him, occasionally revealing a rare gentleness that was so endearing.
The family butler said that when his dad was young, he had a fiery temper and a passionate nature, which didn’t change even after joining the Alliance.
But after experiencing the setbacks of two failed sons, Mr. Gu gradually fell silent, and his stiff face was comparable to a robot.
The two older sons—one went rebellious and became a star thief, nearly giving Mr. Gu a heart attack. Because his eldest brother was such a ’jewel,’ every word and action of Gu Ningxuan, as the last hope, was monitored closely for fear he would follow in his older brother’s footsteps.
The other learned to vagabond, roamed all over, claiming he wanted to tread across the entire universe. To Gu Ningxuan, this was complete nonsense, and what his second brother really meant was simple: I’m not coming back in this life!
Gu Ningxuan was born to his father in his early two hundreds, which was quite late for a child in this interstellar future.
The Gu family followed an elite education path, preferring quality over quantity in children. Maybe it was truly because of some superior ancestral genes, whether it was the eldest, the second, or Gu Ningxuan, the third, each had talents more outstanding than the last.
But heaven is fair, indeed talents became more exceptional, but also more troublesome for the parents. The eldest, after graduating from Xilena, didn’t join the Alliance Military Department, but instead went to be a star thief, leaving everyone dumbfounded, and Mr. Gu internally wounded.
Sons who run away won’t be called back, Mr. Gu was ruthless enough to declare that he didn’t want this son, and father and son went at it!
The following year, the couple had their second son, namely Gu Ningxuan’s second brother.
This child was promising in childhood with all-around excellent performance, but on the day of graduation from Xilena Academy, he went missing. A year later, a letter was sent back, and the second son was also deemed worthless. Mr. Gu wore a gloomy face and created a third son with his wife...
Thinking of this, Gu Ningxuan almost wanted to cover his face. His talent, though stronger than his unseen older brothers, wasn’t the issue. They had both graduated, while he was two years from graduation and then this incident happened. In successive blows, Mr. Gu must be going crazy, "Now I can only hope Dad stays strong enough to give me a younger brother and slowly raise him up..."
Gu Ningxuan has this pessimistic thought, and currently, Mr. Gu is also pondering this problem. Many who know about the Gu’s family matters are watching. Will the Gu Family’s fourth young master surpass the three elder brothers in prowess, and when will he rebel?
Gu Ningxuan did not know that in the distant Star Thief Base, his eldest brother received news of Gu Ningxuan’s expulsion and immediately gave a thumbs up for this third brother he’d never met! Any kid who dared to rebel against the oppressive Gu Family education was a good one in his book.
Meanwhile, Gu Ningxuan’s second brother learned of the news somewhat late, and immediately grinned, "People are just like springs, the more pressure you apply, the more force they return... Rebellion is only a matter of time."
The two older brothers didn’t know what this third brother had done, assuming he did it deliberately as a form of rebellion. They immediately appreciated this younger brother daring to explode before graduating, whereas they both held it in till the end, forever turtles hiding in their shells.
Innocent Gu Ningxuan hit an unexpected X2 situation, and when the three brothers gather again in the future, the miserable story will be a saga left to tell.
Su Jiameng, upon receiving the message from Guan Changxi, considered it for a moment and then agreed to let Gu Ningxuan use the training room, but with time limitations. After this, she logged into the virtual net to play a couple of rounds at the Mecha Fighting Arena.
On the way, she received an anonymous threat letter, the general idea being to not hire Gu Ningxuan, or there would be trouble.
Su Jiameng smirked, dialed the number above, and immediately asked, "I’ve decided to hire him, what kind of trouble do you think you can cause? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, feel free to choose any of the seven colors!"
The other end fell silent for three seconds, a husky voice, clearly altered through a voice changer, spoke up, "If you don’t want to offend the Qiu Family or be unable to make it on Qiming Star, you better fire Gu Ningxuan, or else, I’ll make it impossible for you on Qiming Star."
"I think you’re seriously sick, aren’t you?" Su Jiameng’s voice was slightly raised, "What I hate most is being threatened. If you have the guts to threaten me, just speak with your own voice, please. Qiu Family? Sorry, I know mudfish, but not the Qiu Family, what kind of joke is that? Didn’t you know if the wind is strong enough, it’ll slip your tongue? Talking big like that, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
During the call, Su Jiameng was deliberately stalling for time, using Telekinesis to track the signal location.
Playing ghost and pretending to be scary, did he really think she’d be afraid? Watch out, sis could make you cry with a flick of her sword!
"If you’re a man, stand in front of me and talk. If not, shrink back and hide, you sicko!" Su Jiameng achieved her goal, ending the call and putting the person on a blacklist. (To be continued.
