Qiao Guangyu can be said to be Mr. Wu’s late son.
The old man had his first child, Wu Jun, when he was 30 years old. Qiao Meirong was only two or three years younger than him, and she was not young anymore when she had her first child. In addition, the old man's career was in a difficult rising period at that time, and he could not take care of her as a pregnant woman, so the birth of this first child was a little difficult. The two had originally planned to have only Wu Jun as their child, but after several years of recuperation, Qiao Meirong's health improved and she unexpectedly became pregnant again. At this time, she was already an elderly mother, and giving birth to Wu Yu was even more difficult than giving birth to Wu Jun. After giving birth to this child, she even had to stay in bed for half a year before she could get out of bed.
From then on, Mr. Wu dared not touch her no matter what. He treated her like a porcelain doll and raised his two sons with all his heart. The old man himself also achieved a prominent position in the industry, had no worries about food and clothing, and his family lived a harmonious life.
But it is still a bit difficult for a man in his thirties or even forty to live an ascetic life for years. Although the old man loves his wife very much, sometimes the body and soul are not in sync, especially when someone deliberately seduces her. It was at that time that the daughter of the Sun family interfered with the relationship between the couple.
"A woman who is younger, more beautiful and more talented than his wife appears in front of him, and she loves him deeply and is so humble. It is hard for any man not to be moved." Quan Quan flipped through the list and marked it with a highlighter from time to time.
Qiao Guangyu was helping him, and when he finished reading a page, he handed him the next sheet of the banquet invitation list that Assistant Wu Jun had copied for him. At the same time, he took the page that Quan Quan had finished reading, searched Baidu for the names of the people marked with a highlighter, and found the relevant web pages and archived them so that they could study together later.
He asked curiously, "So my dad cheated on me?"
Quan Quan shook his head: "No, the news of the marriage was released by the Sun family. At that time, the Sun family was more powerful than the Wu family, which had just established itself. If Mr. Wu confronted them head-on, he might have ruined the business he had worked so hard for, which would not be worth the loss. So Mr. Wu chose to pretend to be friendly with the Sun family, intending to delay them first and then find another way."
"No wonder that incident caused such a stir back then. If my dad had come out to clarify that it was a misunderstanding, it wouldn't have spread like this." Qiao Guangyu snorted, feeling a little sorry for his mother. "Besides, since the Sun family is so capable, how could they not have found out that the old man was married?"
Quan Quan chuckled, "You can get divorced after you get married. Maybe in their opinion, the old man will definitely choose Miss Sun, who is much better in all aspects, compared to Ms. Qiao, a housewife from an ordinary family."
"...They feel so good about themselves. What does other people's marriage have to do with them?" Qiao Guangyu said gloomily. This Sun family is so annoying. Can they decide who others like? Who gives them such a big face?
Quan Quan sighed, "Some people are used to living high and mighty, used to giving orders, and even arranging other people's lives. Wu's is a new company, and Sun's wants to get Wu's technology, but it can't take over such a large industry through mergers and acquisitions. If they want to acquire shares, Mr. Wu is very cunning and will not give them this opportunity. As a last resort, they resorted to the honey trap."
"Tsk tsk, they really do everything they can." Qiao Guangyu shook his head in disdain.
"Of course, this beauty trap didn't work in the end. The Sun family's methods were too cruel, and the old man completely broke off with them." Quan Quan shrugged.
Qiao Guangyu frowned: "What did they do?"
Quan Quan: "They kidnapped Ms. Qiao and threatened her not to return to her husband and son, otherwise they would destroy the Wu family at all costs."
Qiao Guangyu opened his mouth and looked at Quan Quan in disbelief: "My mother just believed it? No way, that's too stupid! TV dramas don't even play it like that!"
Quan Quan looked at him helplessly: "The Sun family did have the ability at that time, otherwise they would not have been able to suppress the missing person notice. It's just that they wanted the core technology of the Wu family more. They would not want to destroy the Wu family unless it was absolutely necessary. But Ms. Qiao didn't know this. She had to swallow her anger for the sake of her family and didn't dare to contact them. In the first few years, she was still under surveillance by the Sun family, so she didn't dare to do anything. It was later that the Sun family collapsed, and she gradually learned about your father and brother's situation from the newspaper. At that time, her health was probably not very good."
Qiao Guangyu tried hard to recall and then remembered some details that he had previously overlooked. For example, when he was a child, his mother was always by his side. Even when he went to kindergarten, she repeatedly told him not to talk to strangers, not to go out with strangers, and not to trust anyone in the world except his mother, not even the police. At that time he thought it was the nervousness of a single mother, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
This situation got much better when Qiao Guangyu grew up. He thought it was because he had grown up, had gradually matured his values and had a certain self-protection ability, so his mother didn't nag him as much as when he was a child. Now it seems... maybe it's because there is no one watching him, so he is completely left alone?
Qiao Meirong was already 40 years old when she gave birth to Qiao Guangyu. Her condition was even more dangerous than when she gave birth to Wu Yu. Her health had not been very good to begin with, and she was very nervous during the first few years of taking care of the child, relying entirely on her willpower to persevere. Later, when she learned that the Sun family had gone bankrupt, she felt relaxed and her stubborn illnesses came to visit her one after another. She basically spent the last few years in the hospital. With Qiao Guangyu by her side, she had no intention of reuniting with her long-lost family members.
Later on, her mind even became a little fuzzy. She only recognized Qiao Guangyu, and she spent more time in a coma than when she was awake.
This way, she would have no way of telling Qiao Guangyu about his background.
As for Daniel Wu and the like...it was completely a childish act by Joe's mother when she was young, and it was completely unintentional.
Qiao Guangyu recalled the past and sighed: "If my father had found her at that time and moved her to a place with better medical conditions, maybe she could have lived longer... But if that were the case, maybe we would not have had the chance to meet each other."
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat relieved.
There are not so many good things like rebirth and time travel in the world. You can't go back to the past to save your regrets. Instead of thinking about what would have happened at that time, it is better to do well in the present and let the future go according to your expectations.
Qiao Guangyu stretched and typed the last name into the search bar, yawning and saying, "Okay, the last one! All the information is here. When do we have class, Teacher Quan?"
Quanquan pursed his lips and smiled, placed his right hand on his left chest, and bowed slightly, like a medieval tutor who strictly observed etiquette.
"At your service, my young master."
