Chapter 1285: Chapter 1289: How about we switch places?

Yun Jue looked up at him, eyes blurred with tears, looking as aggrieved as a child. “Why? Uncle, why is our family so unlucky? Why did my big uncle and second uncle die? Why did Sister Qiao Yi die? And why did my parents die? Aren’t we all good people? Why do we deserve this punishment?”

“Life is unpredictable…” Gu Junzhu rubbed the back of his head and sighed silently: “When you grow up, you’ll understand that there are many people in this world who are less fortunate than us…”

Yun Jue sniffled and said, “I’ve already grown up.”

Gu Junzhu smiled and pinched the back of his neck, “Since you’ve grown up, stop crying and go wash your face.”

Yun Jue’s face turned red, and he got up to go to the washroom.

Ye Xingbei watched Yun Jue’s disappearing figure into the washroom and said reflectively, “I think you are much gentler with Yun Jue than with Xiao Qiao.”

“Really?” Qiao Zui covered his chest, heartbroken: “It’s not easy, finally someone is willing to speak up for me! Auntie, you really are my dear aunt!”

Gu Junzhu glanced at him, “She is indeed your dear aunt!”

“Auntie, look, here it goes again!” Qiao Zui pointed at Gu Junzhu and exclaimed, “Look, this is my real uncle! He’s as warm as spring breeze to Yun Jue, but as cold as harsh winter to me. The difference in treatment couldn’t be more obvious!”

Ye Xingbei nodded, “Indeed, a bit.”

“Only a bit?” Qiao Zui exaggerated, “It’s a lot, alright?”

Gu Junzhu glanced at Qiao Zui, stroked his chin, pondering: “I guess every time I see him, I can’t help but want to take him as my soldier for training.”

Qiao Zui: “…Why am I so unlucky? Uncle, I am your real nephew!”

Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, then at Qiao Zui, and smirked silently.

Although watching the video was painful.

But, finally having Yun Jue back, they must all be happy, right?

Just like divorced parents fighting for child custody.

Now, they have won.

That’s wonderful.

Yun Jue stayed in the washroom for more than ten minutes before coming out.

He had already adjusted his mood in the washroom and felt calm, but seeing Gu Junzhu and Qiao Zui, he couldn’t hold back, and his eyes reddened again.

Just like a child who had lost a fight and saw his parents, his heart was so full of grievances it almost drowned him.

Gu Junzhu looked at him and patted the seat beside him.

Yun Jue walked over and sat down next to Gu Junzhu, obediently like a child.

Gu Junzhu hooked his shoulder and squeezed it, turning his face to look at him, “Your grandfather has been missing you a lot. Just a few days ago, I saw him staring blankly at your photo.”

Tears in Yun Jue’s eyes immediately began to fall, his voice trembling: “I miss Grandpa too… I tried to run away several times, but they caught me back.”

“That won’t happen anymore,” Gu Junzhu smiled and patted his shoulder, “From now on, you’ll stay by Xiao Qiao and my side… I really don’t trust leaving you with those two old folks. What if they lead a good kid like you astray?”

Yun Jue wanted to cry and laugh, “I’m not a child anymore, Uncle.”

“You don’t know how blessed you are,” Qiao Zui sighed, “Uncle is only so gentle with children, and since I’m not a child in his eyes, I live in misery every day… How about we swap places?”
