Chapter 239 She Must Listen to Me

Fang Hang was arranged by Gu Jinhong to be Gu Suixing's "study companion," but he had no "loyalty" to Gu Jinhong. Because he had been outstanding since childhood, he initially looked down on the carefree and somewhat unruly young master of the Gu family.

Because he had to be the "study companion" for the prince, he couldn't choose his favorite major and once harbored resentment towards the prince.

The turning point came after the first exam results came out. He, who had always been number one in his class, was outmatched this time; he couldn't beat that prince.

Luck, he thought.

However, when the second exam went the same way, he changed his mind.

He was somewhat arrogant, but he wasn't stupid.

He truly came to respect that young master after Gu Zhenjun's car accident.

During that period, many things happened in the Gu family: Gu Zhenjun's car accident, the Gu family's stock plummeting, Old Madam Gu falling seriously ill, a hostess bringing an infant to Gu Jinhong's door demanding that he take responsibility, and the Gu family's shareholders collectively "rebelling" in dissatisfaction with Gu Jinhong's autocratic ways... Gu Jinhong was so busy that he wished he could split himself into two.

Just when everyone thought Gu Jinhong would prioritize dealing with the Gu family's affairs, Gu Jinhong unexpectedly sent Gu Suixing, who was still a freshman in college at the time, to the company, giving him authority to handle the matter, while he himself dealt with Gu Zhenjun's car accident and the bar hostess's affair.

It was precisely because of Gu Jinhong's astonishing arrangement that the business legend of "the young master of the Gu family fighting a brilliant turnaround for the precarious Gu family" was created.

Given Gu Jinhong's doting affection for this precious grandson, Fang Hang had no doubt that if Gu Suixing had listened to Gu Jinhong and broken up with Lu Fengqing back then, the Gu family would have been Gu Suixing's possession long ago.

Fang Hang really couldn't understand it. In his opinion, Lu Fengqing was just an excessively beautiful woman who not only couldn't help Gu Suixing, but would also hold Gu Suixing back.

After a social event, Gu Suixing, who was quite drunk, brought up the matter himself.

"The old man thinks I like her because she's pretty, and that I'm bewitched by her face." Gu Suixing chuckled drunkenly. "To be honest, I've never thought she was that pretty. If I liked pretty people, wouldn't I just look in the mirror myself?"

Fang Hang: "..."

Gu Suixing continued, "When I first met her, I actually hated her. Even though she was the one bullying me, my dad insisted that I was bullying her just because she would cry. Even my mom sided with her, buying only the snacks she liked. I was only allowed to eat what she was tired of eating and what she had left over."

Fang Hang: "...Aren't you going to resist?"

“She fought back.” Gu Suixing raised his fist. “One day, when my parents weren’t home, I beat her until she cried.”

Gu Suixing paused for a moment, then added, "The way she cried was actually quite pleasant to hear."

"..." Fang Hang was speechless for a moment.

"Later, she stopped playing with me and stopped coming to my house. She found someone new, a fat guy in the neighborhood. He gave her a plastic crown, and she went to play house with him, pretending to be his bride."

Gu Suixing said, grinding her teeth angrily, "She ate so many of my family's snacks, the crystal hair clips on her head were bought by my mother, and the little tiger gold pendant around her neck was bought by my father. She actually went to be someone else's bride, and crawled through a dog hole with that fat bastard to 'enter the bridal chamber' in front of me. How outrageous!"

Fang Hang: "..."

After a long silence, Fang Hang asked, "So why do you like her?"

Gu Suixing said expressionlessly, "She said she only listens to the people she likes, and she only likes the people who like her."

The sentence was a bit convoluted, but Fang Hang still understood it.

If you want to control her, you have to like her.

As for why he wanted to interfere, Fang Hang explained it as the male's base instincts at play.

The so-called "baseness" of men can be summarized as: they take things for granted when they have them, and regret them when they lose them.

“My dream used to be to be a spendthrift, to compete with my dad and grandpa to see if they made money faster or I spent it faster. Later, I thought about making money,” Gu Suixing said. “It’s just a plastic crown. I can work hard to make money, buy her a real crown, and build her a castle, but she has to listen to me.”

Fang Hang: "..."

This relationship really had nothing to do with looks; the trouble stemmed from their childhood friendship and innocence.

When love and dreams become intertwined, influencing the direction of one's life, love transcends mere romance, and giving it up becomes incredibly difficult. Moreover, Gu Suixing had never considered giving up.

Just as he never imagined that Lu Fengqing would give up on him.

Despite his resentment, when Gu Suixing learned of Lu Fengqing's engagement, he was only one step away from success. However, he still wanted to drop everything and rush back to China. If Huo Huai'an and Xie Chaoyin hadn't stopped him, all of Gu Suixing's efforts over the years would have been in vain.

Gu Suixing listened to the advice and did not return.

It wasn't that the words of those two people carried much weight, nor was it that he was heartbroken over material possessions; rather, he knew that once the engagement banquet was over, rushing back wouldn't change anything.

Assistant Fang told Lu Fengqing these things not to blame her or complain about her, but simply to let her know about them.

Today, Assistant Fang's thinking has changed a lot compared to back then, and she no longer thinks that Miss Lu is a useless vase.

The fact that she could make Gu Suixing, a young master who aspired to be a spendthrift since childhood, improve himself for her sake shows that no one can match her ability.

Assistant Fang concluded by saying, "President Gu may resent you, but he cherishes you even more."

Lu Fengqing remained silent for a long time before saying softly, "I understand."

It's already four o'clock without me even realizing it.

After receiving Gu Suixing's call, Lu Fengqing went downstairs to wait for him and went with him to pick up Rui Rui from kindergarten.

Gu Suixing casually asked, "Why is it so quiet?"

Lu Fengqing frowned. "Am I usually noisy?"

"..." Gu Suixing dared not say it.

Fortunately, we arrived at kindergarten, so we moved on from that topic.

After picking up Rui Rui, the family of three was discussing where to eat when Gu Suixing suddenly received a call from Huo Yao.

Gu Zhenjun woke up.
