1224 Master For A Day, Father For Life

Gu Zheng’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “He Weinian is indeed my benefactor. He even has my mother’s token. At that time, he didn’t know that I was the legitimate son of the Gu family, but he promised my mother that he would teach me. He naturally didn’t go back on his word.fr???e?n?vel.???

“Hence, he didn’t curry favor with Huang Lilan. Instead, when the Gu family was suppressing me, he always helped me. He’s my master, so I grew up with the children of the He family.

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. He Weinian was actually asked by Lu Qingyun to take care of Gu Zheng. Moreover, a person who Gu Zheng addressed as ‘Master’ was definitely someone he respected and trusted.

Qiao Xi suddenly recalled that before she met Gu Zheng, she once heard people talk about him. He did not have many friends and was not close to his family. In the entire Li City, there were only a few families who were willing to lend him a helping hand. Other than Ye Qingyuan, who was his closest friend, there was only one family that had always spared no effort to support him. If it were not for that family, perhaps Gu Zheng would not be where he was today.

Although these words were a little exaggerated, it was undeniable that this family had a deep impact on Gu Zheng. It turned out it was actually the He family.

“But…” Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment.

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “Do you want to ask why we parted ways? Take a guess.”

Qiao Xi thought carefully. At that time, Gu Zheng definitely trusted the He family very much and treated their entire family as his own family. A master for a day was a father for life. He Weinian was his master, so Gu Zheng naturally respected him as much as he respected his father. The sisters of the He family were his childhood playmates, and He Tingchen was his good friend. However, Qiao Xi was able to sense that Gu Zheng had no feelings for the He family and was even slightly disdainful of them.

What exactly happened?

She thought for a long time and said in a cold voice, “The He family betrayed you, right?”

“Yes.” Gu Zheng nodded, his eyes filled with coldness.

Previously, when Lu Yan was blind and Old Master Lu lost his position as the head of the family, she had asked Gu Zheng why he did not react at all. His answer at that time was, “I don’t care about these people at all. Their outcome won’t affect my emotions.”

To Gu Zheng, it was inevitable that the Lu family would end up like this. Those people could not affect him at all, but the He family was different. When Gu Zheng mentioned the He family, his eyes revealed a trace of disdain.

The more emotional he was, the more it meant that the He family was very important to him back then but they were also the ones who had hurt him the most.

When she thought about this, Qiao Xi’s heart ached. The young man who was abandoned by everyone had been struggling at death’s door under the suppression of the Gu family. When someone found him with his mother’s token, it was like a ray of light that illuminated his dark life. He gave the remaining love and trust in his heart to the He family.

To him, He Weinian was his master and father, but such a person had betrayed him. The He family had hurt Gu Zheng greatly. They had torn his heart into pieces.

Gu Zheng’s tone was indifferent. “Ever since then, the He family went overseas and never returned to Li City. We never contacted each other again.

Song s.h.i.+yu said indignantly, “Young Madam, the He family went overseas to take refuge. They offended many people and their company wasn’t doing well either. Coupled with the fact that they betrayed the president, they should’ve gone bankrupt at that time. It was the president who gave them a sum of money to tide them over.”

Qiao Xi looked at the man beside her, and her heart ached even more. He had clearly been hurt, yet he still went soft-hearted and helped them again.

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

However, at the thought of this, Song s.h.i.+yu was so angry that his face turned red. He could not understand why the He family was so heartless. With the president’s character, he should’ve killed them all after they betrayed him, but the president actually gave them money!

Qiao Xi also understood Gu Zheng’s thoughts. It was a fact that the He family had betrayed him, but it was also a fact that the He family had helped him at his lowest point. He remembered the He family’s kindness, so he gave them a sum of money. He similarly would not forgive them for their betrayal, so from then on, he cut off all contact with the He family.

After the He family left Li City, they went to another city to start afresh. Even with Gu Zheng’s sponsors.h.i.+p, it was still very difficult. It was not easy for the situation to stabilize. Initially, the grudge between the He family and Gu Zheng was resolved with the family’s departure, but they suddenly came back.

Qiao Xi’s heart trembled as a wave of anger instantly surged into her head. She gritted her teeth and said, “Did the He family come back this time to reconcile with you?”

Back then, they had already decided not to contact each other anymore. However, the He family pretended that nothing had happened and looked for Gu Zheng again. They wanted to use Gu Zheng’s power to establish themselves in Li City once more. What right did they have?
