In a story, the supporting male role can be an evenly matched opponent, a handy tool person, a brother who shares life and death, or a lifelong enemy that's hard to dispel, the ultimate villain...
Chapter 101 Origin 02
In this world, Gu Rong's original family background was actually quite good. After all, they were a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but it was still not comparable to the Wei family. There was even a huge gap between the Wei family and the Qin family. The Qin family was a behemoth, and Qin Boxiu had pushed the Qin family to another level in his early years.
Qin Boxiu is Qin Mengshan's late-born son. He has been raised by Qin Mengshan since he was a child. His abilities and means are even better than those of Old Man Qin. He has stood out from the crowd since he was a child, so he is very much loved by Old Man Qin. It is obvious that since Qin Boxiu showed his talent, Qin Mengshan has been training him as his successor.
But no one knows if it is because God is jealous of his talent, but Qin Boxiu has been in poor health since childhood, and his temperament is also changeable. He does not leave any room for others in his dealings with others, and his methods are decisive and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not have been able to push the Qin family to a higher level at the age of just over 20, and therefore earned the title of "Living King of Hell".
There are many people who hate Qin Boxiu, but there are even more people who are afraid of him.
Even within the Qin family, there were open and covert struggles. Whether openly or secretly, everyone wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Qin Boxiu.
Because they all thought that Qin Boxiu would not live long.
In this case, why can't the Qin family hand it over to them instead of handing it over to the short-lived Qin Boxiu?
Unfortunately, Qin Mengshan was too partial. Even though he knew that Qin Boxiu was in poor health, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to cure his youngest son.
But even more unfortunately, before they found a way to cure Qin Boxiu's illness, he had a car accident.
Even so, Qin Mengshan never gave up on Qin Boxiu.
But in Gu Rong's memory, Qin Boxiu had been in a vegetative state until he killed him.
But when I came back this time, the situation was different.
Qin Boxiu actually woke up?
The Qin family held a banquet this time because Qin Boxiu had woken up, and Qin Mengshan also wanted to give Qin Boxiu some good luck.
He said to others that he wanted to find someone who could get along with Qin Boxiu and take care of him personally, but in reality, he was "marrying" Qin Boxiu, which was equivalent to being tied to Qin Boxiu. That was why Gu Li was so reluctant. He was not only afraid of Qin Boxiu as a person, but also afraid of being tied to Qin Boxiu, not to mention having to take care of Qin Boxiu personally...
In the past, the Qin family had thought about showing goodwill to Qin Boxiu. After all, Qin Boxiu was in poor health and might have an accident one day. Therefore, showing goodwill to Qin Boxiu was much more beneficial than going against him. However, Qin Boxiu was too lonely and cold. Even if they were relatives, he would not say a word to anyone except Qin Mengshan.
Almost all those who tried to show goodwill ended up in failure with Qin Boxiu.
What's more, some people failed to show goodwill and instead offended Qin Boxiu, which led to an even worse outcome. So over time, more and more people were so afraid that they didn't dare to get close to Qin Boxiu.
But this time when Qin Boxiu woke up, Qin Mengshan planned to hold a banquet with great fanfare, just to tell others his attitude that he still preferred Qin Boxiu as his successor.
Qin Mengshan is still strong and is the one who has the final say in the Qin family. With Qin Mengshan around, even if Qin Boxiu is a cripple now, it will be difficult for others to shake Qin Boxiu's position for a while. Therefore, with profit being the top priority, many people still want to send people to Qin Boxiu based on the news that Qin Mengshan has spread.
However, the person sent out will definitely not be that important.
So after picking and choosing, the Wei family chose Gu Li, remembering that there was such a person as Gu Li.
But the person Gu Li likes is Qin Yihan, and he would never be willing to stay with Qin Boxiu. Although Qin Yihan's status in the Qin family is not low, he is a generation younger than Qin Boxiu and is Qin Boxiu's nephew. Qin Yihan's father, Qin Boyan, is Qin Boxiu's eldest brother, but the two have the same father but different mothers. They have not been close since childhood and can even be called hostile.
Therefore, it was impossible for Qin Yihan to beg Qin Boxiu not to choose Gu Li.
But just in case, Gu Li still came to Gu Rong for help.
Although the Qin family may not necessarily choose Gu Li, overall, Gu Li still has a lot of "advantages". After all, he grew up in the Gu family, and the Gu family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine with profound Chinese medicine skills. If he can be chosen, it will be much more convenient for him to take care of Qin Boxiu. But because of this, Gu Li is even more reluctant to be chosen.
After all, who would be willing to be a "caregiver" beside Qin Boxu?
It seems that following Qin Boxiu can benefit from the Qin family, but in fact, in the eyes of many people, if you can't please Qin Boxiu, it is tantamount to torture and humiliation to your self-esteem. In the final analysis, it is just like a "follower", a follower with little autonomy and can only be ordered around.
So it is conceivable that the people sent to Qin Boxiu were probably not taken seriously.
For various reasons, Gu Li didn't even want to appear in front of Qin Boxiu. He didn't want to take any risks, but was willing to push Gu Rong out.
After Gu Rong "agreed", Gu Li happily went to tell Qin Yihan.
Qin Yihan called that day.
The call was connected, and Qin Yihan's voice sounded on the other side:
"Arong, are you really willing?"
Qin Yihan's voice seemed a little hesitant, as if he wanted to confirm it again: "You and Xiao Li are both my saviors. If you don't want to, I can still think of a way. Even if it means losing my status in the Qin family and offending Qin Boxiu, I will not hesitate. Really, you have to believe me."
Okay, then go and offend Qin Boxiu.
"No need, you finally returned to the Qin family."
Naturally, he couldn't say what he was thinking. Gu Rong couldn't help but sneer. It was impossible for him to reverse something that went against Gu Li's wishes.
So Gu Rong naturally had to "refute" what Qin Yihan said.
The Qin family is in a mess. After Qin Boxiu had an accident, the power struggle in the Qin family began to shift to the next generation. It was because Qin Boxiu's half-brother Qin Boyan was not capable enough. Even if there was no one of the same generation who could match Qin Boyan's status, Qin Boyan's ability was not enough to support the huge Qin family.
Fortunately, unlike Qin Boxiu, there are still many people worth seeing in the third generation of the Qin family, one of whom is Qin Yihan.
But Qin Boyuan is not very capable, but his emotional life is extremely rich. He is a playboy. He has three, if not five, illegitimate children, and all of them have been adopted into the Qin family. Therefore, Qin Yihan's family alone has many competitors. Qin Yihan had an accident before, which was caused by an illegitimate child, and it almost prevented Qin Yihan from returning to the Qin family.
Although the illegitimate child has been sent abroad and will never be able to return to China in this lifetime, Qin Yihan still has many rivals.
What's more, Qin Boxiu has woken up now.
So I'm afraid that what Qin Yihan said was not even a little bit sincere.
When Gu Rong rescued Qin Yihan, he saw the injuries on Qin Yihan's body and knew that this person's identity should not be simple. However, there was no information on Qin Yihan's body that could prove his identity. In addition, Qin Yihan suffered a head injury and had some amnesia after waking up, so he had no way of knowing Qin Yihan's identity at the beginning.
But Gu Rong didn't want to keep Qin Yihan.
After Qin Yihan's wounds were almost healed, he wanted to send Qin Yihan away, but was stopped by Gu Li. Otherwise, he would never have been so involved with Qin Yihan, and even had to sacrifice his parents in the end, all for Gu Li's so-called love and Qin Yihan's struggle for power in the Qin family.
Really...why.
Gu Rong couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath.
There was no way. He hadn't found a way to escape from the control yet, he couldn't contact 01, and... he didn't even know where his lover was.
We can only wait and see.
At least Qin Boxiu still needs to meet him.
"It's just taking care of Qin Boxiu. It's no big deal. Gu Li is still young, so as his older brother, I should take better care of him."
Gu Rong did not resist, and continued to speak following the feeling of being dominated: "You don't have to worry about me. If I can enter the Qin family, maybe I can help you. After all..."
"What is it?" Qin Yihan couldn't help but ask.
Gu Rong lifted his chin with his hand and tapped his cheek with his fingers. He had just activated his mental power and suddenly realized that although he still couldn't go against Gu Li's wishes, he could have some freedom of movement when speaking in accordance with Gu Li's wishes, such as -
"nothing."
Gu Rong's voice seemed to drop a little, but he quickly concealed it, then pretended to be excited and said, "You...you and Xiao Li can be happy, which is more important than anything else."
"Arong..."
Qin Yihan's voice on the other end of the phone grew deeper, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
"Okay, that's settled. You really don't have to worry about me."
After talking to Qin Yihan for a few more words, Gu Rong hung up the phone.
Sure enough, just as he thought, as long as he followed Gu Li's wishes, under this premise, he still had room to operate by using his mental power.
After all, Qin Yihan has been wavering between the two of them, but Gu Li has the additional identity of being the illegitimate son of the Wei family compared to him, and he does not hide his friendship for Qin Yihan at all. As long as Qin Yihan is willing to coax Gu Li, Gu Li will probably do anything for him. Gu Rong, on the other hand, has been wary of Qin Yihan from the very beginning.
Qin Yihan must be able to feel this as well.
Moreover, under Gu Li's "will", Gu Rong has always maintained a sense of propriety and distance with Qin Yihan. It is obvious that Qin Yihan will choose Gu Li no matter what.
In the later period, because Gu Li helped Qin Yihan a lot, and with Gu Li's presence, many things seemed to go smoothly, Qin Yihan's feelings for Gu Li became deeper and deeper. However, their relationship was getting better and better, but it was based on trampling and sacrificing him. This time, how could Gu Rong let these two people get what they wanted so easily?
As long as Gu Rong is willing to maintain the personality of "being interested in Qin Yihan, but choosing to take a step back because of Gu Li", he doesn't believe that Qin Yihan will not waver because of this.
But it is difficult to appease his parents now.
Gu Rong let out a sigh and thought, forget it, I can only wait until after the banquet.
He must first find an opportunity to break free from control.
Soon, it was the day for the Qin family to hold a banquet.
Gu Rong and Gu Li were invited to attend together, and Qin Yihan came to pick them up.
As soon as Gu Li saw Qin Yihan, he went up to him and called him "Brother Yihan" affectionately.
Qin Yihan responded and was about to speak, but when he raised his head and saw Gu Rong, he couldn't help but pause.
