352: There is no turning back for you
Wang Kui stared at Gu Jun for a long time, and finally sneered:
"Your silent dedication can only move yourself. I won't tell Xu Yao about what you've done."
Gu Jun stood up and said, "I like your persistence, and I sincerely hope that this persistence will never change."
——Gu Jun did this not because he wanted Xu Yao’s gratitude. It would be better if Wang Kui never said it.
In the past, Gu Jun would calculate what he gave to others and what they gave back to him. When the giving and receiving were not balanced, Gu Jun would feel very uncomfortable. Now, he just wanted to give and did not need anything in return from Xu Yao... As long as she could live a good life, everything he did was worthwhile.
Wang Kui watched Gu Jun leave his office with a stern face. After Gu Jun walked away, Wang Kui's serious expression gradually softened.
"He's a responsible man."
Wang Kui said to himself, "My personality does have some flaws, but no one is perfect. My strength is that I'm kind to Yaoyao."
Yes, Wang Kui had already recognized Gu Jun.
Earlier, when Gu Jun's identity had not yet been exposed, Wang Kui was very optimistic about Gu Jun.
Men don't necessarily judge a man by his wealth; as long as the young man has his own abilities and truly loves Xu Yao, his future will only get better. Based on this premise, Gu Jun's wealth of hundreds of billions is merely the icing on the cake—in fact, possessing a huge fortune at a young age is not necessarily a good thing.
However, Gu Jun is still young, and Xu Yao is also young, so both of them have many opportunities to try and make mistakes.
Wang Kui couldn't help but smile mischievously as he thought about it.
He really wouldn't give Gu Jun any assists. Young people, after all, wouldn't treasure things that came too easily. He just had to work hard on his own.
Now that Xu Qinghua is gone, it is his duty as his uncle to help Xu Qinghua examine his son-in-law.
…
Italy.
Fu Hong looked at the various push notifications on her phone, a hint of sarcasm on her lips:
"Has this world gone mad?"
But how come internet celebrities have become so valuable in just a few years? Xu Yao paid off her father's debts totaling 150 million twice within a year, while a painting by Jason was sold for a mere 5.8 million at an auction in Hong Kong!
The money Xu Yao earns in a year is equivalent to Jason's 26 paintings - and they can't be daily practice paintings, they have to be at the same level as "Fate" and "Black Sea" sold at the Hong Kong auction. Jason may not be able to paint a new one in a year.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
Jason showed extraordinary talent for painting since he was a child, but Xu Yao was the child who had no talent for painting.
Jason persisted in his painting career, but Xu Yao gave up halfway.
Jason's development path was created by her personally, while Xu Yao only had the mess left after the Xu family's bankruptcy.
How could Xu Yao, who was taking care of that mess, make more money than Jason?
Fu Hong thought of Gu Jun from Xu Yao. Gu Jun was the child Fu Hong had given up on. Without any guidance or help, Gu Jun started his own business from scratch and successfully earned hundreds of billions of dollars.
Although Fu Hong said that she didn't care about Gu Jun's wealth, she was still hurt by his success.
Because she didn't help Gu Jun, Gu Jun was still able to succeed.
Does this mean that even if she didn't help Jason plan everything, he would still shine, or even that her help actually had the opposite effect... No, that's not the case. Without her persistence, Jason's talent would not have become a solid technique; without her persistence, how could Jason have immigrated to continue his studies abroad?
If Jason had not immigrated and continued to stay in South City, his painting career might have been abandoned halfway like Xu Yao!
"What's the point of making a lot of money temporarily? Being an internet celebrity is a career that overdraws your future. Fake popularity will fade away and the world will not remember it. But a great painter can be remembered forever in human history. Just based on this point, Xu Yao will never be able to compare to Jason."
Fu Hong talked to herself, belittling Xu Yao and praising Jason.
An Yongmao was standing at the door at some point.
After hearing Fu Hong's words, An Yongmao's face turned pale.
Fu Hong looked up and her eyes met An Yongmao's, and she immediately felt guilty.
"Why didn't you knock?"
"If I knock on the door, won't I be able to hear what's really in your heart? Do you think Xu Yao will never be as good as Jason?"
An Yongmao's voice was calm, but Fu Hong's expression was unnatural: "I'm just saying what I feel. I'm Jason's mother. In my heart, Jason is better than anyone else. I didn't belittle him—"
An Yongmao suddenly flew into a rage: "Don't I value Jason? Jason is a good kid. You can think Jason is the best kid in the world, but you shouldn't praise Jason while stepping on other people's kids... They shouldn't be compared to each other. You should know this better than anyone else in the world!"
An Yongmao was very excited, and the muscles on his face looked a little ferocious.
He usually speaks politely, but now he seems like a different person.
Fu Hong couldn't help but take two steps back.
"That's not what I meant, you're being too sensitive!"
Fu Hong retreated, and An Yongmao stepped in. "What do you mean?"
Fu Hong was speechless.
She was afraid of such an An Yongmao, and she was also angry at such an An Yongmao.
Even if she said something wrong, were all things An Yongmao did right?
It takes two hands to clap!
Fu Hong's head was buzzing, and her words became incoherent:
"I saw the news that Xu Yao paid off 150 million yuan in debt for her father in a year. You felt empathy, didn't you? You were moved, didn't you? You felt bad, didn't you? It's so easy for her to make money as an internet celebrity. Even if things don't work out, there's Gu Jun to cover for her. Why do you feel bad? You treat Jason well. Jason is not a heartless child. If he could make that much money, he would be willing to do the same thing as Xu Yao. It's just that painters have to accumulate a lot of experience before they can achieve success. We need to continue paving the way for him!"
“That’s enough!”
The vein on An Yongmao's forehead bulged, making his facial muscles look even more strange. "Do I want him to repay me for my efforts for Jason? I was wrong. I never let you experience the hardships of making money, so you have the illusion that it's easy to make money as an internet celebrity!"
It's not easy for anyone to make money.
Businessmen have their own difficulties, and internet celebrities have their own difficulties.
An Yongmao was very angry about Fu Hong's evaluation of Xu Yao. He felt that Fu Hong was not qualified to evaluate Xu Yao.
Fu Hong's voice became sharp. "I didn't force you to immigrate. I didn't force you to immigrate. From the beginning, I just wanted to take Jason out. It was you who was desperate... You regret it now, right? You want to go back to find them?"
Fu Hong's smile was twisted and cruel.
"With what identity can you go back to them? You are now Jason's 'Uncle An' and my lover. God has long cut off your way back. God made two people who should not be together get married. You can't go back."
An Yongmao wilted like a punctured ball.
He clenched and unclenched his fists, then clenched them again before finally slamming the door and leaving.
This house was bought by An Yongmao, but he no longer had the energy to compete with Fu Hong, so he chose to pack up and move out.
