He looked at the documents at that time and decided to sign after finding no major problems.
Now that I think about it, just as he was about to sign, the lawyer accidentally knocked over a glass of water onto his pants, and he took his eyes off the documents for only a short moment to pick up the broken glass and throw it into the trash can.
So, were the files swapped
How could he have imagined that his own mother would scheme against him to this extent
His mother planned to use his hands to divide the Fu family's property. Hundreds of millions or billions of dollars were the most important things to her. She never cared whether her son could recognize his ancestors and have a sense of belonging.
He felt desolate inside, and his grandfather's contemptuous look made him feel as if his heart was stabbed.
"These are my handwriting, but I thought..."
"That's enough..." Fu Huaiyong was too lazy to listen to his excuses. "You and your mother are birds of a feather. You'll never get married to the Fu family again. As for the money, hire the best lawyer and take as much as you can. Don't bother my Nan Li anymore."
After saying that, he turned away angrily.
In private, Fu Nanli always pretended to talk about Gu Xiao casually, talking about things of the previous generation that had nothing to do with the child. He also said that the child had a good heart and was similar to his father, both of whom were soft-hearted and more sentimental, and more like his father than him.
The old man understood that his grandson wanted to choose a suitable opportunity to announce to the whole city that this younger brother was a member of their Fu family and give him an identity so that he would not suffer from the reputation of being an illegitimate child.
But now, all his kindness was ruined by this kid. Fu Huaiyong felt sorry for his grandson and was heartbroken for Nan Li.
He wanted to be nice to others, but all they cared about was money.
Like mother like son.
After everyone left, Gu Xiao was the only one left in the hall. He fell into the sofa beside him, his fingers trembling slightly, then he left the club with a grim face, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the prison on the outskirts of the city.
When we arrived, it was already evening. In winter, it gets dark early. At six o'clock, it was pitch black outside.
Gu Xiao was sitting in the visiting area. When he saw Gu Yunzhu coming out, he wanted to slap her, but he didn't. He just looked at her with red eyes: "Why did you do this? My brother had promised to take me back to the Fu family for New Year's Eve dinner. Why did you do this?"
Gu Yunzhu sneered nonchalantly and rolled her eyes. "You are really bewildered. You have been fooled by your brother's lies. Haven't you figured out who is really good to you and who is deceiving you? It's been so long. If Fu Nanli really wants to welcome you back to the Fu family, why are you still out there? His policy of appeasement is so soft, and you don't understand? The Fu family neither wants to recognize you nor pay for you. Everyone in their family is more evil than the other. Mr. Fu is not a good person, and neither is Ye Minqiu. Fu Nanli is even worse. They let you stay out there alone and let them eat you up without even spitting out a bone. You were sold and you're still stupidly counting money for others."
Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "I am not short of money, and what I value is never money. My brother and I are the same kind of people, and he doesn't value these things either. He is really me to me, and I know it."
Gu Yunzhu raised her hand to slap him, but was grabbed by Gu Xiao. He finally started to resist, which was a rare move.
"Gu Xiao, you are rebellious. I am your mother no matter what. Whatever I do is not for your own good. Real money is the real money in your hand. What family affection is there? Can that thing be sold for money?"
