When Gu Jixing mentioned Gu Yuanli, his tone was very calm, without any hint of hatred, as if he were talking about someone insignificant.
However, Gu Jixing only looked calm, while Fu Bai clearly felt that Gu Jixing's hand was tightly holding his hand inside the blanket.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Fu Bai looked up and kissed Gu Jixing's chin, saying.
Gu Jixing shook his head: "There's nothing I can't talk about, it's all in the past."
“My mother was also one of the victims.”
Gu Jixing's mother, Zheng Qingqiu, was unfortunate.
As soon as she entered the Gu family, she caught the eye of Gu Yuanli and was subsequently assaulted.
Zheng Qingqiu wanted to seek justice for herself, but her family had been bribed by Gu Yuanli and personally sent her to Gu Yuanli's bed.
She became Gu Yuanli's "pet".
She was the most beautiful of all the "pets," and Gu Yuanli liked her very much. So, after his first wife passed away, he bestowed a favor upon Zheng Qingqiu and "promoted" her to the position of "official wife."
Only after becoming Gu Yuanli's wife was Zheng Qingqiu "qualified" to get pregnant. The year after marrying Gu Yuanli, Zheng Qingqiu gave birth to Gu Jixing.
Everyone says that Zheng Qingqiu went from being a crow to a phoenix, successfully marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a rich wife.
But no one knew the bitterness in Zheng Qingqiu's heart.
Before being forced by Gu Yuanli, she had her childhood sweetheart, a high level of education, and a promising future.
However, Gu Yuanli destroyed all of these.
Not only was she unable to return to her job, but she was also locked in a gilded cage by Gu Yuanli and targeted and humiliated by her stepson, who was about the same age as her.
All that she had experienced finally overwhelmed Zheng Qingqiu, leaving her trapped in darkness day after day, unable to see any hope.
So, on Gu Jixing's third birthday, she jumped off the roof in front of her own son.
Gu Jixing recounted Zheng Qingqiu's brief life in just a few words, his tone remaining consistently calm, as if he were telling someone else's story.
Fu Bai stared at Gu Jixing's face. His handsome face remained indifferent, devoid of any other emotions, and it was impossible to tell whether he was sad or not.
But Fu Bai suddenly wanted to touch Gu Jixing.
He did exactly what he thought, raising his hand to gently brush over Gu Jixing's deep features, then moving downwards to touch Gu Jixing's legs.
Fu Bai's palm gently massaged Gu Jixing's legs as he asked, "What about your legs?"
Gu Jixing reached his hand under the covers, grasped Fu Bai's hand, and held it tightly in his own.
"They did it."
The "they" here naturally refers to Gu Jia.
To Gu Yuanli, Zheng Qingqiu was just a "pet." His death didn't cause much of a stir in Gu Yuanli's or his family's hearts.
As her son, Gu Jixing's status in the Gu family is self-evident.
The three children in front of Gu Yuanli also bullied Gu Jixing at will, and as a father, even when he saw Gu Jixing being bullied, he just pretended not to see it.
Gu Jixing grew up in the Gu family with great difficulty.
Everyone thought he wouldn't amount to anything, but he suddenly became a sensation and caught Gu Yuanli's eye.
So Gu Yuanli let Gu Jixing join the company and start from the bottom.
Gu Jixing was indeed outstanding, climbing the ranks step by step, leading everyone in the Gu family to believe that he would succeed Gu Yuanli and become the head of the Gu family.
Given Gu Jixing's status in the Gu family, being too outstanding is a sin.
His older brother was so jealous that he conspired to stage a car accident.
Gu Jixing's legs were paralyzed in this car accident.
According to Gu Ji's subsequent investigation, the real culprit behind the car accident was Gu Yuanli.
Clearly, Gu Yuanli only saw Gu Jixing as a tool of the Gu family, only wanting him to work for the Gu family. The true heir of the Gu family could only be the son born to his first wife.
The car accident was a warning to Gu Jixing.
Warn him not to touch things he shouldn't.
Gu Jixing seemed genuinely frightened, and worked diligently for the Gu family, avoiding any contact with the company's senior management or board members.
Little did they know, Gu Jixing had been digging a pit for them from the moment he entered the Gu family. He was just waiting for the right moment to push the Gu family into the abyss.
After that, Gu Xiuzhe began to stand out in the company. Gu Yuanli recognized his grandson's abilities and then plotted how to get Gu Jixing to leave the Gu family business so that Gu Xiuzhe could make room for him.
Gu Jixing sensed his intentions and went along with it.
He knew that his assistant, Meng Qizong, was Gu Xiuzhe's man, and he also knew that Meng Qizong planned to revise the bidding documents.
Gu Jixing never stopped Meng Qizong and even provided him with convenience.
The bidding documents were altered, and Gu Jixing made a serious mistake.
Gu Yuanli then proceeded to expel Gu Jixing from the Gu Group, completely disregarding Gu Jixing's contributions to the company over the years.
Gu Jixing turned and left without looking back.
He hasn't just been working for the Gu family all these years; Gu Jixing started secretly building his own company when he was eighteen.
Now, ten years later, Gu Jixing's company has become an industry leader. In addition, Gu Jixing has excellent foresight, and many of the companies and industries he has invested in have made a fortune.
He is known as the "Midas touch" and has countless assets under his name.
The Gu family thought Gu Jixing was an ant they could crush at will, someone who would have to rely on the Gu family for his entire life.
Unseen by them, Gu Jixing had become a business tycoon whom even the Gu family dared not look up to, the most mysterious and legendary Mr. G in the business world of Country C.
When the time is right, he only needs to make a slight move to destroy the entire Gu family.

Not long after the 748 ended its blocking, it heard what Gu Jixing said. It stared blankly for a while in Fu Bai's sea of consciousness, and couldn't help but compare Gu Jixing's current actions with the original plot.
