The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
203: She is his only soft spot
Fu Hong felt that she had guessed Gu Jun's thoughts.
Hearing Fu Hong's condescending tone, Gu Jun couldn't help laughing.
"From the tone of your voice, you are very rich now?"
The neighbors in the villa area hinted that Fu Hong was a mistress of a certain man. Gu Jun even asked someone to check Fu Hong's life trajectory before immigration. She did not have any profitable industries under her name, and her ability to live a comfortable life was indeed supported by financial support from unknown sources.
A man with an unknown source of wealth actually boasted in front of Gu Jun, who had made his own fortune, that he would give him some money. Gu Jun thought it was ridiculous, so he couldn't help laughing.
His laughter was interpreted by Fu Hong as "greed".
Fu Hong on the other end of the phone was a bit cautious: "Even if you go to court to sue me for child support, I can't give you much money based on the living standards in Nancheng over the years. But you and I are mother and son after all. I am willing to compensate you one million... No, two million, I will give you two million in one lump sum. Don't bother me and Jason anymore. What do you think?"
Two million.
Not to mention that Gu Jun looked down on it, Xu Yao who was standing beside him also curled her lips when she heard it.
Before Xu Yao started selling products, she could earn 2 million yuan a year. In addition, Xu Yao owed more than 300 million yuan in foreign debt. The amount of 2 million yuan was not attractive to Xu Yao at all.
Xu Yao didn't know how much wealth Gu Jun had now, but Gu Jun was able to buy a house in "Shenghai Garden" and spent a lot of money on a three-carat emerald. In addition, Shen Zhongjun also wanted to send wine to Gu Jun, so a mere two million should not be able to impress Gu Jun.
What's more, Fu Hong's tone was one of condescending charity. Even if Gu Jun's career development was just average now, it was impossible for him to accept Fu Hong's charity with his personality!
Xu Yao couldn't understand where Fu Hong got the confidence to give alms to Gu Jun. When Fu Hong ran away from home, she borrowed money from all her colleagues and leaders in the school. The money she borrowed over 25 years would be more than 2 million today!
Xu Yao was angry, but Gu Jun was calm.
"I don't think so."
"Don't be too greedy—"
Fu Hong was halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Gu Jun.
Not wanting Fu Hong to call him again, Gu Jun put Fu Hong on the blacklist.
Xu Yao was indignant: "She really deserves to be scolded. How can there be such a disgusting person in this world?"
"For someone with a thick skin, scolding her harshly is like tickling her. If I scold her, she might think I'm craving her motherly love. If I don't scold her, she doesn't know how I will treat Jason, and the time when we can't get through on the phone is the real torment."
Gu Jun thought very clearly.
Xu Yao also felt that this was very satisfying.
Xu Yao looked upstairs and asked, "Are you going to stay with Jason tonight?"
Jason went upstairs to draw again.
Fu Hong does not recognize the contract signed by Jason and Jiang Zhiyan, but Jason himself attaches great importance to the contract.
Just now, Jason even called Jiang Zhiyan and said he wanted to meet his fiancée.
The custom painting was given to his fiancée. After meeting his fiancée in person, Jason could grasp the emotions more accurately.
Jiang Zhiyan was not bothered by Fu Hong’s video accusation.
Jason's request stumped Jiang Zhiyan. He asked Jason if he could take a look at his fiancée's videos and account.
"...There are some misunderstandings between us. She doesn't even want to see me, you know?"
To be honest, Jason didn't quite understand.
But Jason sensed Jiang Zhiyan's embarrassment and immediately agreed to check Tangtang's videos and account. Jason had left his original phone at the hotel, so Gu Jun gave him a new one.
Xu Yao was worried that when Jason watched Tangtang's videos, he would inevitably come across Fu Hong's accusation video. Big data recommendations were so accurate.
There are all kinds of comments under Fu Hong’s accusation video. Most internet celebrities can’t bear the pressure of public opinion. Can Jason do it?
"I'll go back with you."
Gu Jun paused, "So much has happened today, he needs time to digest it all. He feels more at ease without me here."
"Then how does he eat?"
"I arranged for someone to deliver his meal on time."
"He... Hey, am I being too long-winded?"
Xu Yao realized it later.
Gu Jun took her hand and said, "This is not nagging, this is the tenderness from your heart."
Xu Yao didn't need to get involved in this mess. It was all because of Gu Jun's love for her that she loved everyone in the house.
It was already evening when the two left. Gu Jun called Jason down to confirm: "Xu Yao and I are going back. Is it okay for you to go alone?"
Jason's eyes were red from staying up late. He had been watching Tangtang's videos all afternoon and was now a little distracted.
"I can be alone."
"Then let's go."
Gu Jun was efficient and quick in his work. This time he didn't turn around immediately after he finished speaking. He looked at Jason, and Jason also looked at him.
Jason obviously didn't understand what Gu Jun meant. Gu Jun frowned, "Jason, what should you say now?"
"……goodbye?"
Seeing that Jason finally remembered, Gu Jun's brows relaxed.
Xu Yao turned around and waved at Jason. Her smile was very gentle, but Jason turned his face away in panic.
On the way back, Xu Yao sighed, "Isn't Jason too shy? I doubt he's ever been alone with a girl his age. He's like a blank slate when it comes to social skills. He just becomes whatever the people around him teach him."
Fu Hong only wanted Jason to devote himself to painting. She deliberately isolated Jason from the real society and did not want him to integrate into it.
Gu Jun is different.
Although Gu Jun was rather harsh when speaking to Jason, every request he made to Jason was to help him integrate into society and allow Jason to gradually acquire the ability to live independently.
After seeing how Gu Jun and Jason got along with each other, Xu Yao finally understood why Jason had changed so much.
Gu Jun praised Xu Yao for her gentleness that came from the heart, but Xu Yao felt that this evaluation should belong to Gu Jun.
Gu Jun hid his tenderness under hatred.
"In fact, if I hadn't reminded you that day, you would have chosen not to hurt Jason's means of revenge, right? I should have trusted you."
Xu Yao apologized to Gu Jun.
Gu Jun tacitly agreed with Xu Yao's statement.
——He couldn't admit his meanness in front of Xu Yao.
——There were many moments when Gu Jun had the urge to destroy Jason.
Fu Hong would be in pain if Jason escaped her control, but as long as Jason remained the talented and gifted painter she was, Fu Hong would still be able to find spiritual harmony.
The more successful Jason becomes in the future, the more proud Fu Hong will be.
She would not reflect on herself or herself, but would only be proud that she was the one who raised Jason.
Therefore, the greatest revenge for Fu Hong is actually to destroy Jason. If Jason never picks up a paintbrush for the rest of his life, every day of Fu Hong's life will be extremely painful.
It’s not like Gu Jun doesn’t have such an opportunity.
He first gave Jason hope. When Jason mustered up the courage to resist Fu Hong, Gu Jun only needed to coldly reject Jason's request for help to completely defeat this fragile young man.
Gu Jun was soft-hearted not because of Jason, but because he was afraid that Xu Yao would be disappointed.
Gu Jun saved Jason, and Xu Yao saved Gu Jun.
