When Yue Linze was ten, Gu Yansheng’s illegitimate son Gu Linying appeared, and Yue’s mother discovered that this illegitimate son was actually a few months older than her own son. She suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Emboldened by the lack of opposition, Gu Yansheng directly changed Gu Linying’s surname to Yue and declared that the two brothers would split the family assets.
Yue Linze was young and unable to resist, so he could only endure for over a decade. He had just wrested control of the family assets from Gu Yansheng, but then suffered a car accident, allowing Gu Yansheng to seize most of his assets and severely damage his company.
After this incident, the father and son were essentially enemies. Logically, they should never interact again. So why was Gu Yansheng calling him now?
Tao Yu was curious and couldn’t help glancing at Yue Linze. Yue Linze responded briefly and hung up, then looked up to meet Tao Yu’s gaze. She quickly lowered her eyes.
“Want to know?” he asked.
Tao Yu replied seriously: “No.” Yeah, right.
Yue Linze curved his lips, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
Yue Linying’s expression stiffened for a moment, and he awkwardly stepped back. Tao Yu observed him without changing her expression, thinking that his skills were too shallow, becoming uncomfortable after just a few words. He didn’t seem like the mastermind who had caused the rift between Gu Yansheng and Yue Linze.
Before Tao Yu could observe further, Yue Linying noticed her pushing the wheelchair and asked, “Who is this?”
“How long are you going to block the way?” Before Tao Yu could introduce herself, Yue Linze spoke coldly, his first words after getting out of the car.
Yue Linying’s face showed embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, “Let’s go inside, let’s go inside.”
Tao Yu pushed Yue Linze forward, with Yue Linying following attentively, asking after his well-being along the way. Zhou Yanran walked half a step behind, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes when she saw Yue Linying’s behavior. Although she came from a low-status family, she had been pampered since childhood and didn’t want to marry a sycophant.
