"Nini, come down for dinner."
"Your second uncle and his family are here too. They'll be having dinner at our house tonight. Hurry up and come out, or you'll get scolded again."
"Nini, can you hear me?"
A gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Um... Mom, I know, I'll be right down..."
Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her unbelievably beautiful self in the mirror, Gu Nini was filled with disbelief.
"I...I've transmigrated into a book?"
"And she even became a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name who was trampled underfoot by the female lead in the early stages of the book?"
After Gu Nini finished processing the memories in her mind, she was surprised to find that she had actually transmigrated into a book, specifically a period novel called "The Domineering Young Master of a Hong Kong Tycoon Falls in Love with Me".
She had only recently come across this book on a novel app's reading list. When she saw that there was a female supporting character in the book with the same name as her, she had a very special feeling, so she clicked on it to read and kill some time.
Because she shares the same name as the female supporting character Gu Nini in the book, she naturally unconsciously views the novel from Gu Nini's perspective.
After she finished reading the book, she couldn't help but complain.
This book has problematic values.
She was almost driven mad with anger.
In the original book.
The Gu family, to which the original owner belonged, was a capitalist family that had stood for hundreds of years. The family was incredibly wealthy and owned a steel mill and a cotton mill, each employing tens of thousands of workers.
Moreover, the original owner's father, Gu Baoguo, was the eldest son of the Gu family. Logically speaking, Gu Baoguo should have been the next head of the Gu family. However, because of his dull and rigid personality, he was not liked by the old master Gu and his mother. Therefore, he was strictly educated by the old master Gu and his mother from a young age, and they required him, as the eldest son, to always put the interests of the Gu family first and to take good care of his younger brother and sister.
This also led him to become a selfless and devoted son who was single-mindedly devoted to his family.
This is simply called blind filial piety.
Whatever Grandpa Gu and his mother say goes.
If we were to say that he disobeyed Old Master Gu in his entire life, there was only one time: when he was in the countryside negotiating business with a commune, he suddenly had an accident and was saved by a girl from Fangjia Village.
Gu Baoguo fell in love with her at first sight.
Despite the objections of Old Master Gu and his mother, he insisted on marrying this girl, who was also the original owner's mother, Fang Xueqing.
In the end, Grandpa Gu agreed.
However, who knew that Fang Xueqing would be told that she would suffer from severe bleeding after giving birth to the original owner, which would make her unable to have children again, making Old Master Gu and Gu's mother even more disgusted.
This made Fang Xueqing and the original owner of the body live on thin ice in the Gu family, and also fostered the original owner's timid and observant personality.
As for Gu Baoguo, in his view, he had already given her the best life by marrying a girl from the countryside into the Gu family. At the same time, he felt increasingly indebted to Old Master Gu. Therefore, in the days that followed, he worked even harder, and everything he did was for the Gu family.
However, even so, he still couldn't win over Old Master Gu's favor.
When Gu Nini saw this scene, she couldn't help but complain that Gu Baoguo was truly a filial son. If this were her father, she would definitely scold him to wake him up.
If you really can't wake him up by scolding, then just kick this filial son away and let him continue being a filial son.
After all, the rest of the Gu family clearly treated him like a beast of burden, yet he remained oblivious.
Such a person is incredibly foolish.
She felt suffocated just thinking about it.
I can't even imagine how difficult it must have been for the original owner of this body.
...I've gone off on a tangent.
As for Gu Weiguo, the second son of Old Master Gu, he was handsome and charming, with a mouth as sweet as honey. He was eloquent and perceptive, and had always been deeply loved by Old Master Gu and his mother, who wished they could pluck the moon from the sky for him.
It happened naturally.
He was the most favored son. After marrying a lady from a prominent family, he did not disappoint Old Master Gu. His first two children were sons, and his third child was a daughter.
After giving birth to two precious grandsons for the Gu family, Gu Weiguo and his wife Fang Shuyuan naturally received much favor.
If they are the wealthy young master and mistress of the Gu family, then Gu Weiguo and Fang Xueqing are like the Gu family's top servants and laborers.
Gu Weiguo's daughter is named Gu Qingqing, who is also the female protagonist of this book. Because she is jealous that the original owner is prettier than her, she targets her in every way, frames her in every way, and always tries to put her down.
This made the original owner feel like she was walking on thin ice in the Gu family, and she had a very miserable time.
This continued until Mr. Gu passed away in 1963.
Gu Weiguo whispered in his mother's ear, urging her to separate the eldest son's family and let them live in a bungalow next to the Gu family mansion.
Since Gu's mother didn't like the eldest son's family in the first place, she naturally agreed.
In response to this.
Gu Baoguo had no objections.
As an extremely filial son, he does whatever his parents say and never refuses.
Naturally, they wouldn't feel there was any problem.
And so, the time came to the eve of the 1965 movement. The second son, Gu Weiguo, unexpectedly learned that the authorities would be purging capitalists. So he conspired with his mother to transfer all of the Gu family's assets, accumulated over hundreds of years, to Hong Kong Island and move the whole family there. Meanwhile, he left his eldest brother, Gu Baoguo, and his family of three in Beijing to bear the brunt of the storm.
The family fled to Hong Kong Island, where they quickly established themselves thanks to their centuries-old assets.
As for Gu Qingqing, the female lead, she was accidentally injured and dripped a drop of blood into the bracelet she had snatched from the original owner of the body. As a result, she unexpectedly gained a personal space containing a spiritual spring. Drinking the spiritual spring can improve one's physique and prolong life, making it an absolute divine medicine.
With the help of this magical spring, she cured a powerful figure from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, which led to her being chosen by the family and marrying the young master of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, becoming the young mistress of the family. After marriage, she gave birth to three sons for the Lu family. With the help of her sons, Gu Qingqing quickly gained a foothold in the Lu family.
After the reform and opening up, the Lu and Gu families returned. Riding this wave of opportunity, their assets expanded rapidly, making them prominent figures in various news reports. For a time, they became figures admired by countless people, enjoying immense prestige.
As for the original owner's family, they were left in Beijing. In fact, the Gu family handed over their steel factory and textile factory to Gu Baoguo for management. They said that he was the eldest son of the Gu family and that the Gu family would still be managed by him in the future, which made Gu Baoguo work like a chicken on steroids, diligently managing the two large factories.
As a result, after the movement began, they, as members of the Gu family, were directly demoted and sent to remote mountainous areas in Northwest China by the villagers. Because they were capitalists, they were subjected to all kinds of suppression and insults by the villagers. Gu Baoguo and Fang Xueqing had a very difficult time and lived a precarious life.
