Chapter 601 Abandonment
That year, Gu Zhiyu was seven years old and already had complete and clear memories.
In most people's eyes, the image of a mother is basically virtuous, gentle, kind and benevolent.
But in his mind, there is only one impression of his mother: beauty.
It’s not that he has any filters for his own mother, but her beauty is really very aggressive.
Putting aside her figure, temperament and dress, her facial features alone are all of the heavy and vivid variety.
Thick eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, thick red lips...even without makeup, she looks like someone with heavy makeup on.
Her temperament and dress are also very bright. She has long black hair and likes to wear red.
Red sweaters, red dresses, burgundy tweed coats... always look flamboyant and gorgeous.
When walking, her chin is slightly raised, and her heels make a "tapping" sound on the ground. She is eye-catching from the inside out.
Even though Gu Zhiyu has seen countless beauties today, including rich girls, beautiful actresses, and internet celebrities who are famous for their looks...but it seems that none of them can surpass his mother in appearance.
He was still young at the time, and now he can no longer remember his mother's personality and character, but there is only one thing that is particularly deep in his mind: whenever she appears, people around her, regardless of gender, will turn their heads to look.
Such a beauty is destined not to live a unkempt life in a public housing.
When Gu's father was still the big boss, the two of them were considered a perfect match, with a rich man and a beautiful woman.
But now the man in a suit has turned into a poor boy in a sweatshirt who works everywhere to pay off his debts.
Even if a woman does not wear makeup or fancy clothes, it is still difficult to hide her beauty.
What's more, no matter how bad her life is, she will still dress herself exquisitely.
If you can’t afford a manicure, just buy some cheap nail polish and apply it yourself at home. If you can’t afford a haircut, then study more braiding techniques.
If you don't have a big-name perfume, just buy a strongly scented shower gel and add a small amount of floral water. You'll still be scented wherever you walk.
The same goes for clothes. She used to wear good fabrics and good brands, and many of them were custom-made. Now she can’t afford those good things anymore, so she goes to flea markets to buy them.
I focus on style rather than material. As long as it looks good, I am willing to accept low-quality or second-hand items.
Now that prices are cheaper, I can naturally wear different clothes every day like before.
Gu Zhiyu dropped out of kindergarten after something happened at home.
After two years at home, when he was seven years old, he was already old enough to go to primary school, but his mother was still only concerned with studying how to maintain beauty.
His father did remember this and secretly saved some money without the knowledge of his creditors so that he could go to school and learn to read.
However, when his mother found the money, she used it to top up her credit card at a beauty salon as if it were a treasure.
In Gu Zhiyu's limited memories, his father had never spoken loudly to his mother. It seemed that it was the first time that he was angry with her.
He kept shouting, "That's money for my child's education, how can you touch it?!"
The mother's voice was even louder, full of grievance: "I haven't had a face lift in two years! If I don't take good care of myself, I'll get fine lines!"
Gu Zhiyu always remembers that scene.
A dirty and messy crowded house, days of dirty dishes piled up, a tired and shabby father... and a beautiful, delicate mother who was out of place in the whole room.
After that, Gu Zhiyu was unable to go to school and had to wait until the next year.
But before the second year, my mother left.
Although her determination to maintain her decency and beauty was not beneficial to her family, it was very useful to herself.
When I go out for a walk, I will be noticed by the big bosses passing by.
During the two years when the family was in poverty, many men extended olive branches to his mother, but she basically looked down on them all.
Although she wants to live a good life, she knows in her heart that a good life cannot be achieved by just having money. The other person must also be a good person and treat her sincerely.
Therefore, she was very strict in screening those suitors. At most, she would be nice to them and accept their convenience and benefits, but she never had the intention to commit herself to them.
Until that time, she must have met a man who was very good in every aspect.
So he left without looking back.
A seven-year-old child can already understand many things. He sensitively sensed that something was wrong and reached out to grab his mother.
The other party only said: "Son, Mom has her own life, don't be so selfish."
Since then, he and his father were the only ones left at home.
Father Gu was unwilling to believe his wife's betrayal. After all, it had been two years since his accident. Although his wife's temper had become worse and worse, and she was unwilling to work, do housework, or take care of the children, she had never tried to leave him.
Why did he leave so suddenly?
So he went out to look for it several times, but of course, he always failed.
After finally recognizing the reality, this man who had been hit hard by the constant blows was completely devastated. When he went out to work in a daze, he encountered a car accident and died on the spot...
The car has arrived at the foot of Luoan Mountain.
Annan looked at the familiar road ahead, but at this moment he no longer felt the joy of going home. He just felt sad.
Gu Zhiyu never described his own reactions and feelings at the time.
It's like his feelings don't matter at all.
The more this happened, the more distressed Annan felt.
She grew up in her mother's love and took it for granted that every mother would love her children.
It is really hard to imagine that there is a mother who can be so cruel as to abandon her own child.
And that poor child who was abandoned was still her cherished lover...
Annan bit his lip and began to feel disgusted with this "mother-in-law" whom he had never met before.
Can you really enjoy the wealth and glory you have gained by throwing away your innocent child with peace of mind for the rest of your life?
If this woman who despises poverty and loves wealth knew that the husband and child she abandoned were, one, the young master of the Gu Group, and the other, the future helmsman of the Gu Group, would she regret it?
Even if the man she found was richer than the Gu Group, would they still be wealthy after the natural disaster?
Countless thoughts flashed through Annan's mind, and he felt that he didn't seem to wish the other person well at all.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Gu Zhiyu turned around and looked at her. Seeing that she looked very bad, he immediately smiled comfortingly:
"It's all in the past. It's been so many years, even I have forgotten how I felt at that time, why are you still sad?"
Annan curled his lips.
Forgot what feeling? How is that possible! You know, he was sent to an orphanage after that.
She knew how hard life was for him to lose his parents at such a young age and to live in an orphanage. She knew it just by thinking about it.
