Chapter 150: Nangong Jin Fights With Fierce Might

~7 min read 1,390 words

Chu Xuanming took a deep breath, his pupils suddenly contracting as he looked at Gu Tingyan in disbelief.

He had not expected him to value Sheng so highly.

"Are you really going to gift so many shares to Sheng?" Chu Xuanming quickly flipped through the equity transfer agreement, seeing that Gu Tingyan's scientific research company focused primarily on pharmaceutical products.

The integration of Gu Tingyan's company with the Chu Family's industries, with their overlap in technological innovation and medicine—this betrothal gift had simply struck a chord in Chu Xuanming's heart!

Gu Tingyan said calmly, "This is what she deserves."

Hearing that Gu Tingyan had arrived, Chu Sheng lifted her skirt and ran over quickly. Hearing the two of them talking in the study, she did not enter immediately, but stood outside listening to Gu Tingyan and her father speak.

Hearing that Gu Tingyan was going to give her half the shares of one of the companies under his name, Chu Sheng's heart also trembled.

Tingyan was actually so generous; he had offered a billion right off the bat.

Chu Sheng's heart began to beat wildly; she pursed her lips slightly, the corners of her eyes moist with emotion.

Chu Sheng pushed the door open and entered, looking at the two people in the study: "Tingyan, Dad."

Gu Tingyan had his back to her, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

Chu Xuanming accepted the items Gu Tingyan had given him and locked them in a cabinet, an unprecedented joy on his face.

By boarding Gu Tingyan's ship, the Chu Family had a promising future!

Their Chu Family would surely become the second-largest noble family in Beijing, with a future status second only to the Gu Family!

Qin Shu had once cursed him, saying he would surely face retribution.

Where was there any retribution?

That was nothing more than a little trick the weak used to comfort themselves.

He, Chu Xuanming, would henceforth be Gu Tingyan's father-in-law, and his daughter would be the future Head Mistress of the Gu Family!

With an excited smile on his face, Chu Xuanming led the two young people downstairs.

The Chu Family's engagement banquet was about to begin.

Guests arrived in an endless stream.

Jiang Chenxue came downstairs with a beaming smile, grabbed Chu Sheng, held her hand excitedly, and asked, "Did Gu Tingyan really give you half the shares?"

A shy smile appeared on Chu Sheng's face: "Mm."

Hearing Chu Sheng confirm it herself, the smile on Chu Laotaitai's face, who was beside Jiang Chenxue, deepened, and she said with particular excitement, "I said it, Sheng is our family's little lucky star!"

Chu Laotaitai: "Gu Tingyan is really good to you; you must live well with him in the future."

"As for that disabled son of his, you don't need to take him to heart; just go through the motions."

"The power of the Gu Family will not be handed over to him in the future."

Jiang Chenxue said, "Gu Tingyan seems to care about him a fair bit; he even brings him along when returning to the country."

"You should restrain your temper and don't lose your temper at him in front of Gu Tingyan."

"Once you give birth to a second son with Gu Tingyan, your position will be completely secure."

Jiang Chenxue: "One Gu Yichen is nothing to fear."

Chu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled: "I know."

"I'm not stupid; a stepmother is not easy to be, and I won't let anyone get a hold on me."

Chu Sheng was not stupid; before marrying into the Gu Family and giving birth to Gu Tingyan's second son, she would naturally not do anything to Gu Yichen.

Hearing Chu Sheng say this, Jiang Chenxue felt a bit more at ease.

Jiang Chenxue: "Mother believes in your methods."

Chu Laotaitai let out a cold snort: "What is there to fear from a little cripple?"

"The Gu Family can only belong to our Chenchen in the future."

"I heard that in the last final exam, Gu Yichen got last place again."

"Our Chenchen got a hundred in math!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Chu Sheng's face widened even further.

In the past, Qin Shu had always outperformed her in studies, but now, Chu Sheng's son had outperformed Qin Shu's son.

This sense of satisfaction made Chu Sheng feel exceptionally pleased.

Gu Yichen sat in a corner nook holding a plate, listening to the three women's gloating discussion, even thinking about how to drive him out of the Gu Family in the future.

There was no expression on Gu Yichen's face as he used a small spoon to dig into a cupcake and put it into his mouth.

This cupcake was cloyingly sweet to the point of being sickening.

He knew that all the kindness Chu Sheng had shown him over the years had a purpose.

His father was right about one thing: the more he retreated, the more others would only pressure him further and leave him no way to survive.

After the three women of the Chu Family left, Gu Yichen remained sitting in the corner, unmoving.

This engagement banquet held no interest for him.

Chu Chen was surrounded by Chu Family servants as he came downstairs; he was dressed as a little flower boy today, his crisp suit making him look a bit more adorable.

Seeing Gu Yichen sitting in the corner, Chu Chen walked toward him with a smile. Looking at the plate of apples on the table, Chu Chen picked one up, weighed it in his hand, and raised his arm to throw it hard at Gu Yichen.

Gu Yichen did not expect Chu Chen to appear suddenly and throw an apple at him; the apple struck Gu Yichen's fair temple, bruising it bright red.

Seeing that he had accurately hit Gu Yichen, Chu Chen laughed out loud several times: "Your daddy doesn't want you anymore."

"He's going to marry my mommy!"

"Little cripple, if you have the ability, come and hit me." After saying this, Chu Chen ran off, laughing wildly, mocking Gu Yichen as he ran.

Gu Yichen watched Chu Chen run away, his eyes blood-red; he clenched his fists tightly and pressed his lips together firmly.

He had a disability in his legs and could not outrun Chu Chen.

Therefore, for these past four years, Chu Chen had relied on his own healthy legs to find Gu Yichen and bully him whenever there was no one watching.

Whether at home or at school, he would bully Gu Yichen whenever he caught him.

Chu Chen bullied this little cripple with ease and felt no guilt at all, because Grandpa and Grandma clearly liked him more now.

Chu Chen was not afraid of being punished either; anyway, every time Grandma found out, she would at most scold him a few times and that would be the end of it.

Chu Chen had just run a hundred meters away when he suddenly felt a pain in his butt; his expression changed abruptly, and looking down, he saw a four-year-old toddler biting down on his butt.

Chu Chen cried out in pain and reached out to hit Nangong Jin: "Let go of my butt!"

He slapped Nangong Jin, and this move completely enraged this tyrannosaurus!

Nangong Jin was sturdy and much taller than his peers; having been invincible in fights since he was small, he swung his fist and viciously smashed it toward Chu Chen's nose!

Chu Chen was struck until he saw stars, felt dizzy, and staggered back several steps.

Chu Chen was much taller than Nangong Jin; once he stood steady, he rushed toward Nangong Jin like a madman and gave him a sound thrashing with his fists and feet!

"How dare you hit me! I'll bite you to death!"

The little tyrannosaurus roared in anger: "You're dead meat!"

Nangong Jin was hurt by the beating, but he was not one to be outdone; he opened his mouth, grabbed Chu Chen's arm, and bit down hard.

He bit down hard and painfully, fierce and incomparable like a little wild beast, ruthless and precise; he bit Chu Chen's arm until it bled, making him wail in pain.

He raised his hand to slap Nangong Jin, but was kicked flying by Gu Yichen, who had just arrived.
