Chapter 2361: Chapter 2365: Passed Down Through Generations
But Ye Xingbei felt that this was just her old home, not any picturesque tourist attraction. It meant a lot to her, but for Fang Yao and them, it might just be a remote and dull mountain wilderness.
With this thought, she didn’t invite them.
She didn’t invite them proactively, and Fang Yao and the others didn’t mention joining.
This time, it was just their family that came.
Ye Xingbei looked at Wan Chong, who was following Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue, and said, "Wan Chong has had wilderness survival training, right?"
"Absolutely," Gu Junzhu said. "Wilderness survival training is a required course for becoming a special forces soldier."
Ye Xingbei nodded, "Alright, with that in mind, I’m much more at ease."
Special forces soldiers are often referred to as people who can do anything except giving birth.
With Wan Chong around, it’s more reassuring than having ten ordinary bodyguards.
"Having money and status is great!" Ye Xingbei sighed as she looped her arm through Gu Junzhu’s. "Talents like Wan Chong are precious no matter where they go; if you don’t have money or status, why would anyone serve you?"
"I won him over with my personal charm, okay?" Gu Junzhu said. "There are people with more money and status than me, but ask him if he’d go serve them."
Ye Xingbei huffed, "When will you ever be humble?"
Gu Junzhu feigned surprise: "Am I still not humble enough? I think I’m already quite humble!"
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Same old story... As long as you’re happy!
They leisurely followed Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue into the woods.
Xiao Shumiao asked the bodyguard for a plastic bag and went mushroom picking with Lingyue.
Ye Xingbei walked over to him, squatted down, and picked out a snow-white mushroom from his bag, "Xiao Shu, see this? This type of mushroom is the tastiest! When mom was little, she loved soup made with these mushrooms; it’s super fresh and delicious!"
"Really?" Xiao Shumiao’s eyes lit up. "Then I need to pick a lot, so you can make it for me. I want to taste the soup mom had when she was little!"
"Sure!" Ye Xingbei agreed promptly and looked at Gu Chi. "See if you can catch a wild chicken. This mountain mushroom stewed with wild chicken makes the best soup with a completely different flavor."
"We’ll definitely catch some!" Gu Chi pressed the Bluetooth earpiece by his ear. "Team Two, find a way to hunt a few wild chickens."
The earpiece immediately responded, "Roger that!"
Ye Xingbei shook her head and nudged Gu Junzhu. "Dad says our family is valuable, not money—it’s worth spending half our fortune to hire bodyguards. Did you really listen to Dad and spend half our family fortune hiring bodyguards?"
Though Ye Xingbei was joking with Gu Junzhu, Fifth Lord of Gu’s setup this trip was indeed impressive.
Apart from the bodyguards like Gu Chi and Gu Cheng who always stayed close, there were also two teams of bodyguards, six people in each team.
So many people, plus supplies, they had eight off-road vehicles brought over from nearby, all fully occupied.
Those who knew the situation understood they were on vacation.
Those who didn’t might think they were going to demolish someone’s place.
"Don’t worry, the bodyguards are all raised by our family; not even one ten-thousandth of our fortune is used," Gu Junzhu said. "I don’t want to be so ostentatious, alright? Having Xiao Chi and the others guarantees safety, but Dad insists on bringing them, what else can I do but comply?"
