This is the awareness that his mother Gu Yunzhu has been instilling in him since he was a child.
Look at how good Fu Nanli is. You can't be worse than him. Look at the life he lives. Don't you envy him? If you envy him, you should work harder.
He hated that face.
It has been following me like a nightmare for more than a decade.
Grandma patted him on the back and said, "Good boy, don't think like that. You should see the good side of things and don't always dwell on the bad side."
Gu Xiao stopped talking.
Grandma Gu was heartbroken. After all, it was Gu Yunzhu who raised the child to have such a paranoid personality. She really felt sorry for the child.
Late at night, Gu Xiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, remembering that when he was five years old, his mother had persistently taken him to the Fu family's villa halfway up the mountain in the shallow lake.
The house is very big, with a butler and many servants, a beautiful garden, and a large green lawn. There is a golf course in the backyard, and behind that is a lake.
All this did not have much appeal to him.
He stood in the side hall, looking at the serious-looking old man, his whole body trembling slightly. He still remembered the old man pointing at his mother angrily, "Get out with your bastard. If you dare to come to the Fu family again, and let Minqiu and Nanli see you, you will regret letting that bastard come into the world!"
They were kicked out of the house and were in a miserable state, because the Fu family was too big, the way down the mountain was very long, and he was small and had short legs, so he got tired after walking for a short time.
The young boy asked his mother, "Who is that old man?"
"It's your grandfather."
He was puzzled: "Why is grandpa so fierce? I think other people's grandpas are very kind to them."
Gu Yunzhu turned around and looked at the mansion that was looming among the lush greenery: "No one can stop me from getting what I, Gu Yunzhu, like. Gu Xiao, remember, your last name is Fu. One day, you have to come back and take back what belongs to you."
"Mom, I'm scared. I'm scared of grandpa."
Gu Yunzhu slapped him in the face and said, "Remember, you must not be timid or cowardly. You must be better than Fu Nanli, the eldest son of the Fu family. You must fight for everything that your mother deserves. Do you understand?"
The five-year-old child staggered after being slapped by Gu Yunzhu and fell on the grass. He wanted to cry, but he only saw his mother's hideous face magnified in front of him: "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry, don't cry! Mom is counting on you, you must do your best, understand?"
He cried and said he understood.
The past was dark and could not be retrieved, so he pulled the quilt up to cover his face, closed his eyes, and stopped thinking about those things.
The next day, the heavy rain did not stop until the afternoon. When Wen Qiao entered Fu Nanli's apartment, he heard him talking on the phone, as if someone was helping him book a plane ticket.
As soon as Wen Qiao entered, Fu Nanli asked her, "We are going to New York tomorrow. Will you be free with me?"
Wen Qiao: "Ah? Why do you suddenly want to go to New York?"
"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll have my secretary book a ticket for you. Tell me your ID number."
Wen Qiao took out his ID card from his schoolbag and handed it to Fu Nanli. When Fu Nanli saw his date of birth, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Nine years is a big age gap. His group of bad classmates will definitely make fun of him because of the age difference and say that he is an old cow eating young grass.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nanli pulled her upstairs: "I'll pack my luggage, and you go home and pack your luggage later in the evening. I'll take you to New York."
