Chapter 125: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (36)

In his previous life, he spent more than a decade completely bankrupting the Lu family company and sending both Lu's father and son to prison. As for Liu Meiyun, she spent the rest of her life in a mental hospital, living out her later years with guilt and pain.

He brought Xiao Shuyun's ashes home and buried them next to his grandmother.

This time, Gu Sheng protected his sister, but that doesn't mean he will let the Lu family father and son and Liu Meiyun go. Moreover, this time, the time will be even shorter.

Gu Sheng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Mengxin Technology had been expanding at an extremely fast pace throughout its life. He had known a principle for a long time: in this world, if you want to protect the people you love, you can only become stronger, strong enough to build a wall for the people you care about.

...

Wen Wan also learned from the system that Gu Zhengguo had been released from prison. This was terrible. After Gu Zhengguo was released, wouldn't he cause trouble for Gu Sheng and Grandma Gu?

"What can we do? System, do you have a solution?"

System: [I don't even have a physical form, what can I do? And what are you worried about? The male lead will kill him in the end anyway, so relax.]

What the system didn't tell its host was that Gu Zhengguo wouldn't have a chance to do anything bad, since the male lead had already sent people to take him away, and who knows where he's suffering now.

However, if you're really worried, then go and stay by Gu Sheng's side. After all, Gu Zhengguo hates Gu Sheng the most.

The system suggested to its host that since reader satisfaction had been stuck for a long time, it would be better to let the host misunderstand and then cultivate more feelings for the male lead.

"What use are you? I'm just a weak woman, why don't you give me some cheat codes?"

System: [None.]

Wen Wan: "You useless dog, you're completely worthless. I'm going to replace you."

system:【……】

Since it doesn't dislike this host, the host has no choice but to accept its fate; changing systems is out of the question.

When Liu's father returned, Wen Wan asked him about his safety, mainly to remind him to be careful. After all, the reason Gu Zhengguo was able to go to jail, besides the domestic violence, was mainly because Liu's father had uncovered his loan sharking activities, which led to his imprisonment. So Gu Zhengguo might also hate Liu's father.

Mr. Liu wasn't worried about himself; he was worried about his daughter.

After all, whenever Liu's father thought about the scene of Gu Zhengguo hurting his daughter, he was still extremely angry and fearful.

"From now on, you must have a bodyguard or Xiao Gu with you when you go out. Don't go out alone, understand?"

"I know, but you should arrange for more bodyguards to protect you and my mother, so I don't worry."

Because of Gu Zhengguo's release from prison, the atmosphere in the Liu family became quite tense. Wen Wan thought about it and hired two more private bodyguards from a bodyguard company. One would guard the door of Gu Sheng's house to protect Grandma Gu, and the other would guard the door of Xiaoshuyun School.

Although this is only a temporary solution, it at least ensures safety. Gu Zhengguo was a madman back then, capable of doing such beastly things to Xiao Shuyun. After serving five years in prison, who knows how terrifying he might become now? Moreover, they are in the open while the other is in the shadows, so we can only take precautions.

Meanwhile, he went to Mengxin Technology every day to deliver meals to Gu Sheng, and also followed Gu Sheng around. After all, as the male lead and the person Gu Zhengguo hated the most, there was far too much danger around Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng accepted this readily and was quite happy about it. The company's employees noticed that the atmosphere around President Gu warmed up because of the arrival of the boss's wife. Many people even saw President Gu smiling gently at the boss's wife, something that would have been impossible before.

Only the boss's wife can pluck Mr. Gu, this unattainable beauty.

Wei Cheng and a few others felt the effects most acutely. Wei Cheng was scolded far less often, so he took every opportunity to shower Wen Wan with compliments.

For the next two weeks, nothing happened, and Wen Wan gradually relaxed. Perhaps Gu Zhengguo had really reformed after serving five years in prison, so he wouldn't cause any trouble.

That day, Wen Wan and Gu Sheng were just about to have lunch when a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Gu Sheng with lightning speed. "Ah Sheng, please let me go."

Gu Sheng's mother?

Wen Wan stared at the woman in front of her for a long time before she realized that she had met Liu Meiyun once five years ago. At that time, Liu Meiyun was dressed in designer clothes, with exquisite makeup, and looked like a glamorous socialite. But the woman who was holding Gu Sheng now had disheveled hair, a terrible complexion, and looked very haggard.

Wen Wan reached out and pulled Liu Meiyun away, "Let go of him, didn't you see you're hurting him by grabbing him?"

Liu Meiyun didn't even look at Wen Wan, but looked anxiously at Gu Sheng, "Ah Sheng, I know that I was sorry to you and Shuyun when I left, but I had my reasons. If I didn't leave, your father would beat me to death. I had no choice, I really had no choice."

Wen Wan looked at Liu Meiyun, "But Gu Sheng was just a child back then. When you left, didn't you ever think about what Gu Zhengguo would do to him? How could a child like him fight back against Gu Zhengguo?"

Liu Meiyun glanced at Wen Wan, "I didn't. I can't take them with me. I have no job, no money, I can't even support myself, how can I take them with me?"

Wen Yan: "..."

So you just abandoned your child to someone like Gu Zhengguo?

Wen Wan could understand Liu Meiyun's decision to leave Gu Zhengguo. After all, divorcing a scumbag is in line with human nature. However, leaving behind her still-breastfeeding daughter and young Gu Sheng, if it weren't for Grandma Gu's protection, those two children would probably have been beaten to death or sold by that old gambler.

Besides, you've been doing well since then, so why don't you come back to take the children?

I'd like to take them in, but only as a daughter, not a son.

Damn it, from Gu Sheng's perspective, I really, really hate this woman, just as much as Gu Zhengguo.

Wen Wan stood in front of Gu Sheng, "Since you gave up on them back then, what are you doing here? And why are you in this state? Are you trying to scam me?" Wen Wan glanced around and didn't see any media reporters or anything like that.

“I just want Ah Sheng to let the Lu family go. Lu Xiao has gone mad. He beats me every day.” As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, which were covered in bruises. “He doesn’t want to divorce me. Ah Sheng, please save me.”

Wen Wan was somewhat puzzled. Was this Lu Xiao Liu Meiyun's current husband?

Wen Wan was reading a poorly written novel with a bad ending. She only knew that Gu Sheng had achieved success in both her career and love life, but she didn't know the specifics. The system only knew the outline of the plot, and it knew nothing about the minor characters.

When Gu Sheng heard Lu Xiao's name, he knew why Liu Meiyun had come to find him. He had never intended to expose all of this to Wen Wan, but when it actually happened, Gu Sheng did not stop it.

Liu Meiyun was instructed to tell Wen Wan about how she had suppressed the Lu family company and gotten Lu Chengran into prison.

"You're Ah Sheng's girlfriend, right? Please help me persuade Ah Sheng to let me go and let the Lu family go."

Wen Wan: "That's slander. Why did you come to Gu Sheng for help?"

Gu Sheng looked at Wen Wan and said, "Lu Chengran is in jail for rape and intentional assault. What does that have to do with me? Even if I reported him, it was for the good of the people, and you don't have any evidence to prove that I did it. Besides, in business, success or failure is a matter of ability. Why blame me for being too capable? That doesn't make sense. And what about you? Why don't you consult a professional lawyer? If this involves domestic violence, you can file for divorce unilaterally, right? So instead of begging your son whom you abandoned long ago, you should go see a lawyer."

He pulled Gu Sheng along, "Let's go eat."

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Mm."

Liu Meiyun wanted to follow, but Gu Sheng glanced at her and said, "If you keep coming, I guarantee the Lu family will go bankrupt."
