Chapter 599: Foster Brother (1)

#The Adopted Brother

*

"Qianqian, this is Gu Liu, he will be your older brother from now on."

Standing next to Liu's father was a slender young boy, while opposite him was a little girl holding a Barbie doll.

The little girl glared at the boy and said, "Dad, I don't want him to be my brother! I don't want him! Tell him to get out! I don't want him in my house!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed the boy, knocking him to the ground.

"Qianqian!!! How can you be so insensible? Is this how I've always taught you?" Father Liu said angrily.

"I don't want to, Dad, you don't love me anymore. He's your illegitimate child, isn't he? I don't want you anymore either. You guys are so awful."

The little girl rushed up the stairs and went upstairs, while Liu's father looked at the boy apologetically, "A-Liu, don't worry about her. Qianqian is just spoiled by me and her mother. She's not a bad person at heart. It's probably a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to her. You can live here in peace from now on and treat this place as your own home."

However, no matter how Liu's father explained, in Liu Qianqian's heart, it was because of Gu Liu and his mother that her father often stayed away from home, often quarreled with her mother, and eventually caused her mother to fall ill and be hospitalized. She was determined to protect her home and her parents, and that Gu Liu was a piece of trash who couldn't be brought to light.

So afterwards, Liu Qianqian would cause trouble for Gu Liu every few days.

Mr. Liu was very busy, and the servants in the house were all cunning and opportunistic, so they naturally helped the only little master in the family to mistreat Gu Liu, the illegitimate son.

Yes, in their minds, Gu Liu must be the gentleman's illegitimate child, and they even said that Gu Liu's mother was the gentleman's first love.

Bringing her first love's child home, it must have been born together.

...

When Wen Wan transmigrated, she was in the hospital receiving emergency treatment. She didn't even know what had happened, and the system promptly shielded her from pain.

This was a death start.

[Host, don't worry, you don't have any fatal injuries, just some aftereffects.]

Wen Yan: "..."

[Host, take advantage of this time lying down to quickly absorb the plot of this world.]

Without waiting for the host's consent, the system directly transmitted the entire plot novel to her, almost making Wen Wan curse.

The male protagonist of this world is Gu Liu, and the female protagonist is Zhao Ke.

The male protagonist, Gu Liu, lost his mother at a young age. His adoptive father, Qin Shou, was a gambling addict and a scumbag who was also prone to domestic violence. When he was dating his mother, he was incredibly sweet-talking and treated her very well, even disregarding the fact that she was pregnant at the time. Eventually, Gu Liu's mother was moved by this man, and since she was all alone at the time, the two spent a period of loving days together.

But after the marriage, Gu's father changed.

They revealed their true colors, plundering all of Gu's mother's savings to gamble, and nearly beat her to the point of miscarriage.

Even after giving birth, life didn't change. Gu's mother worked various odd jobs to support her child and had to avoid Qin Shou's exploitation. When Gu Liu was six years old, due to long-term exhaustion and working in various small factories, she had no health protection and eventually developed late-stage cancer, passing away before she could receive treatment.

At this time, Liu Zhenjiang came to Gu Liu's house and saw that Gu Liu, a young boy, was as thin as a stick, even though he should have been enjoying his life. So he took him home.

Knowing that her days were numbered, Gu's mother couldn't bear to leave her son alone in this world, but she also couldn't bear to let him go with her. She searched through all the people she could contact and finally called Liu Zhenjiang.

She asked Liu Zhenjiang to help take care of Gu Liu.

Liu Zhenjiang took Gu Liu back to his home, which was also the home of Wen Wan's identity. Liu Zhenjiang treated Gu Liu very well, but he was too busy and often went on business trips. Because of her mother's situation, Liu Qianqian always felt that Gu Liu was her father's illegitimate son, and she would never treat Gu Liu well.

The family's nanny targeted Gu Liu, refusing to feed him, frequently playing pranks on him, and even spreading rumors at school that he was an illegitimate child, leading the way in isolating him.

Because of Liu's father, Gu Liu silently endured all of this.

And so, Gu Liu stayed in the Liu family for three years, becoming increasingly withdrawn.

If it weren't for the female lead, he might have taken his own life.

The female lead, Zhao Ke, is the daughter of the nanny in the Liu family. Because the nanny had family matters to attend to and was unable to take care of her daughter, Liu's father arranged for the nanny's daughter to work at the Liu family.

Zhao Ke is a sunny, cheerful girl with a strong sense of justice. She is extremely angry at everything this family has done to Gu Liu. She tries to protect Gu Liu several times, but is targeted by Liu Qianqian.

Later, they even falsely accused the female lead's mother of theft, then kicked her out, and the female lead was also forced to leave the Liu family.

Later, Liu Qianqian's behavior escalated, and by chance, her father found out about it. He was furious, and his relationship with Liu Qianqian reached a freezing point. In the end, he sent Gu Liu abroad.

Gu Liu completed his studies abroad and earned his initial capital, then founded an investment company.

Within just three years, it became a well-known dark horse investment company in the industry, and Gu Liu became a famous new tycoon in the industry, even jokingly referred to as the reincarnation of the god of investment.

Two years later, Gu Liu finally returned to China.

In contrast to Gu Liu's situation, the Liu family, whose main business has always been traditional manufacturing, has been declining due to the rise of the internet, which has made manufacturing increasingly difficult.

Liu Qianqian, on the other hand, grew into an arrogant and domineering young lady. She attended an ordinary university but insisted on becoming a star in the entertainment industry, which led to her being criticized by the entire internet. She was even chased and scolded by everyone for going to the door of a movie star's room in the middle of the night and bothering him.

Liu Zhenjiang is going crazy trying to deal with both his company and his troublesome daughter.

Just then, the male lead returned. Liu Zhenjiang knew that if the company were handed over to Liu Qianqian, it would inevitably go to its end. Gu Liu, on the other hand, was extremely capable. So Liu Zhenjiang told Gu Liu that he would hand over the Liu Group to Gu Liu, and the only condition was that he marry his daughter, Liu Qianqian.

Liu Zhenjiang knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he said, "I don't ask you to love her. You just need to give her enough money to spend each month. You don't need to cultivate a relationship with her. In addition, this will allow you to inherit my company more reasonably. The directors won't have any objections. If you can't make it work after five years, you can get a divorce. My only request is that you take good care of her and let her live a good life."

Gu Liu eventually agreed, but Liu Qianqian disagreed.

However, Liu's father directly stated that if Liu Qianqian did not agree, he would make her lose her inheritance rights. How could Liu Qianqian be willing to accept that? So she registered her marriage with Gu Liu.

Even after marriage, she didn't give Gu Liu a good look. Gu Liu joined Liu's company and quickly gained the praise of the board members.

May the Liu family prosper.

While secretly married, Liu Qianqian pursues so-called true love in the entertainment industry, entangles herself with a movie star, and in the end, Gu Liu has to clean up her messes.

However, Gu Liu's ability to clean up messes couldn't keep up with Liu Qianqian's speed in causing trouble. Because of his entanglement with the movie star, he incurred the wrath of the movie star's fanatical stalker fans, who then crashed their car into Liu Qianqian's car, sending both of them to the hospital.

The obsessive fan became a vegetable, but Liu Qianqian was rescued.

Even though Liu Qianqian was the victim, because she was so troublesome, she had no public support, and even though the person involved was dead, no one felt sorry for her anymore.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist, after leaving the Liu family, continued to excel, successfully gaining admission to the best university in the country. After graduation, she joined the Liu family and became Gu Liu's employee.

Gu Liu recognized her and transferred her to a position closer to him, making her his secretary.

As they spent time together every day, feelings developed between them, but both of them restrained themselves, since Gu Liu was already married.

However, Liu Qianqian accidentally saw Zhao Ke and felt that she had seduced Gu Liu. She clearly did not love Gu Liu and even pursued other men while married, but she did not allow Gu Liu to be with Zhao Ke.

So they started targeting Zhao Ke.

She did a series of vicious things as a supporting female character, which eventually angered Gu Liu, who then insisted on divorcing her ahead of schedule.

It was around this time that their divorce was photographed, and then everyone knew that the two were husband and wife. Liu Qianqian's reputation was even worse, after all, this was marital infidelity, and the person she married was Gu Liu, the dream lover of countless girls.

How blind must someone be to ignore Gu Liu and insist on pestering the movie star?

After that, Gu Liu only gave Liu Qianqian money and guaranteed her survival; he didn't care about anything else.

In the end, Liu Qianqian ruined herself. Later, she fell in love with a singer in the entertainment industry, who was a drug addict. He took her to use drugs with him, and they were eventually arrested.

Let's go sing "Tears Behind Bars" together.

Then, while in prison, Liu Qianqian was found to be pregnant. She later gave birth to a son. After she was released, Gu Liu sent her to an island, provided her with food and clothing, and took care of her for the rest of her life, but never visited her.

The male and female protagonists went through a series of events, bravely faced each other, and successfully got together, becoming a beautiful story. They also took good care of Liu Qianqian's son, Gu Liu, and handed over the Liu Group to him when he grew up.

This was the original ending.

However, the story ended poorly.

After the male lead and Liu Qianqian got married, the female lead did not join the Liu Group, but instead entered the entertainment industry and became Liu Qianqian's assistant.

Afterwards, she was drugged by Liu Qianqian and given to a spoiled rich second-generation heir, and later the female lead committed suicide.

The male protagonist thus developed an extreme hatred for Liu Qianqian, defied Liu's father's wishes, divorced her, and let Liu Qianqian ruin her life. He remained unmarried for the rest of his life. Wen Wan's current timeline coincides with the plot where Liu Qianqian is hit by a car by a stalker fan and is in the emergency room. After watching the plot, Wen Wan can only say that whether the ending is bad or not, Liu Qianqian is a piece of trash, and she deserves her fate.
