RMM -Chapter 229 The Dazzling Appearance of Gu Jiawei

Xi Yuehui turned to Xi Yuechen and asked with a smile, “Brother, how about letting me take Xi Zi over? I’ll go show him to my sister-in-law. Ye Huaiming and the others also want to see him.”

Xi Yuechen’s eyes flickered at the words, but before he could respond, Gu Jiawei spoke up.

“Going to see Su Ruo? Then I’ll go too. I’ve been wanting to see this for a long time.”

Xi Yuehui was clearly taken aback by Gu Jiawei’s words and quickly explained, “There are quite a lot of people there. All our friends are around.”

The implication was clear: “Look, there are so many people, none of whom you know. It’s better if you don’t go. If you go, everyone will be uncomfortable. We all know you, Young Master Gu, hate dealing with strangers.”

Gu Jiawei caught Xi Yuehui’s meaning, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and smiled faintly. “It’s fine. Your brother’s been married so long, and I’ve never met your sister-in-law. I can’t miss this chance. It’s also a good opportunity to get to know you guys.”

Gu Jiawei had come specifically to meet Xi Yuechen’s wife and son. There was no way he’d give up just because of Xi Yuehui’s comment. Xi Yuechen’s wife must be extraordinary—he had to meet her today. Besides, it had been a long time since he’d hung out with young people, so today he’d relax a bit.

He knew everyone in Su Ruo’s circle. Overall, they were fine people—none were unpleasant. He could just sit and pass the time casually.

Xi Yuehui hadn’t expected Gu Jiawei to be so determined and felt helpless. A guest had arrived, and Gu Jiawei was a friend of his elder brother—he had no reason to stop him. If they were to meet, they would meet. After all, Gu Jiawei wouldn’t just leave immediately; they could still have fun afterward.

Why wait until Gu Jiawei left to have fun? Xi Yuehui wasn’t stupid. If Gu Jiawei went to the private room, his elder brother certainly wouldn’t skip it either. Then the two powerful presences would dominate the room. Forget having fun—just talking would be awkward. Even He Wen and Shao Ning felt uneasy around the elder brother. And now, adding the legendary Gu Jiawei into the mix…

Sure enough. At that moment, Xi Yuechen made the decision. “Alright, let’s go.”

Actually, Gu Jiawei didn’t need to lead. Xi Yuechen had already decided to go when Xi Yuehui mentioned taking Xi Zi to see Su Ruo.

“Let’s go. Lead the way,” Gu Jiawei said with an unsurprising smile, turning to Su Heng and the others.

Su Heng had wanted to hold Xi Zi himself, but seeing the situation—his brother-in-law clearly had no intention of handing the child over, and with Gu Jiawei urging them—he didn’t hesitate. He shrugged. “Alright, let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Su Ruo and the others were joking around. Just out of her confinement period, Su Ruo naturally became the target of playful teasing.

“Tsk tsk, he’s so chubby. Hey Su Ruo, how much weight have you gained? Why are you wearing such loose clothes? Are you deliberately hiding your changed figure?”

The speaker was Wen Shaoning, wearing a mischievous grin.

“What do you know? Ruo Ruo isn’t fat at all. She’s perfectly plump and healthy—looks like someone who brings good fortune to her husband and child.”

Before Wen Shaoning could finish, He Wen immediately chimed in. It sounded like he was defending Su Ruo, but it was full of teasing as well.

“Alright, alright, enough already. Ruo Ruo is just blessed. You guys should take notes instead of just talking. Especially you two—He Wen and Duan Wei.”

Ye Huaiming joined in, unwilling to be left behind.

Duan Wei, who had been silently observing, couldn’t take it anymore and lifted her brows. “Hey, Ye Huaiming, what do you mean? Why are you dragging me into this?”

Lu Yue, seeing Duan Wei unhappy, got anxious and glared at Ye Huaiming. “Exactly! Su Ruo is pregnant and doesn’t care, and now you’re getting carried away, spouting nonsense?”

Everyone laughed at Lu Yue’s words. Even He Wen, who had been about to scold Ye Huaiming, redirected his attention to Lu Yue and couldn’t stop laughing at his protective stance.

“Lu Yue, you’re impressive. Duan Wei hasn’t even said anything, and you’re so eager to defend her. That deserves encouragement!”

Lu Yue felt awkward under He Wen’s laughter. He was defending her, but since Duan Wei hadn’t agreed, it felt improper. He dared not look at her and loudly retorted.

The room turned into a lively scene, voices overlapping, pointing and teasing one another—a chaotic mix.

Su Ruo sat watching, smiling, completely unbothered. Having been home for so long without seeing anyone, she enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

Even when everyone teased her, she didn’t mind or rebut, simply listening with a smile. She looked genuinely happy.

When Xi Yuechen and the others pushed open the door, they saw a scene of chaos: people sitting around the dining table, shouting, laughing, gesturing—like a bustling market. Hardly the refined manners expected of young nobles.

Su Heng knew they were like this in private—free-spirited. Normally, he’d join in with a comment or two… but now wasn’t normal, with two powerful presences behind him!

Xi Yuehui couldn’t stand it either and coughed to get attention. “Wow, it’s so lively! Look who’s here!”

Better late than never. Even if Xi Yuechen and Gu Jiawei had already seen their antics, a reminder was still necessary. Otherwise, who knew what foolishness might come out.

Su Ruo was near the door and noticed immediately when it opened.

Turning, she saw Xi Yuechen holding Xi Zi, with three people beside him. Apart from Su Heng and Xi Yuehui, the other was unknown to her.

Probably one of the leader’s friends, she thought, and moved toward them.

Xi Yuechen’s gaze swept across the chaotic room, then fixed on his target, ignoring everyone else. They had nothing to do with him.

Gu Jiawei leaned against the doorframe, lips curved in a faint smile, watching the oblivious young crowd. Youthful energy—so loud they might lift the ceiling, arguing about who knows what.

Xi Yuechen stepped forward two paces. Su Ruo reached him just as everyone realized something was off. In unison, they fell silent and looked toward the door.

Xi Yuechen… and… who is that?

Apart from Feng Weijia and Ye Huaiming, no one had seen Gu Jiawei before. Looking at the man at the door—smirking slightly, exuding a commanding presence—they all wondered who he was. Standing next to Xi Yuechen, he was equally imposing. Calm and composed, yet with a presence as strong as the leader.

“Gu Jiawei?! He’s here?” was the immediate reaction of Feng Weijia and Ye Huaiming.

Ye Huaiming recalled the phone call Xi Yuechen made when Su Ruo was kidnapped by Hong Shirong, guessing that Xi Yuechen and Gu Jiawei had an unusual relationship. Seeing him now confirmed that.

Feng Weijia, unaware of this, was simply surprised, keeping his expression neutral.

“Leader, what brings you here?”

Su Ruo was puzzled. Wasn’t Xi Yuechen supposed to be in the front hall with the guests? He usually disliked crowds—why suddenly here?

“Did Xi Zi cry?” she asked, then seeing him wide awake, quickly added, anxious.

It’s been so long—he must be hungry. And he probably needs a diaper change.

“No, he’s very well-behaved,” Xi Yuechen reassured her.

“Oh, that’s good.” Su Ruo relaxed. She hadn’t thought—Shen Liang had brought formula, so even if Xi Zi was hungry, he’d be fed. And the grandmothers were meticulous with diapers—they were already changed.

Gu Jiawei watched the two interact naturally, ignoring others, as if the place belonged only to them.

First impression: not bad-looking. Second: good figure. Third: nice temperament. Fourth: clearly in a legendary love story.

The way Su Ruo’s eyes didn’t leave Xi Yuechen and his tender tone spoke volumes.

Standing there, they looked like a real couple—very compatible. Add a child in the middle… truly a family.

So this was the legendary Su Ruo. No wonder Xi Yuechen’s son was so good-looking—superior genes.

But Gu Jiawei’s attention wasn’t limited to looks. He didn’t believe Xi Yuechen would fall for someone just based on appearance. Curious, he continued observing.

“Leader, this is…?”

Su Ruo looked at Gu Jiawei at the door, puzzled, asking Xi Yuechen, ignoring the petrified group behind her—they were forgotten.

It’s hard not to be petrified. Even strangers acting wildly in front of Xi Yuechen is humiliating. And now, imagining the reactions once they learned the unknown man was the famous Gu Jiawei…

Before Xi Yuechen could introduce him, Gu Jiawei stepped forward, wearing a poised and courteous smile, extending his hand toward Su Ruo.

“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Gu Jiawei.”
