Gu Jin stayed at the Chu family for three days. Due to the pressure exerted by the young master of the Chu family, Gu Jin surprisingly received decent treatment during his stay. As a result, his trust and reliance on Cen Xiuzhi also strengthened.
But no matter what, Gu Jin is still a child of the Gu family. The two sides are only forming an alliance through marriage, not welcoming him as an outsider. If Gu Jin gets too close to the Chu family and gives them the opportunity to manipulate him in any way, causing him to turn against the Gu family, it would also be detrimental to the Gu family.
A few days after Gu Jin was taken away, Cen Xiu Zhi calculated the time and called the steward, saying that he wanted to go and see Gu Jin.
For both parties, this is a reasonable request. After all, they will be husband and wife in the future, so it is normal for them to visit each other's homes.
After obtaining consent from the supervisor, Cen Xiu Zhi made an appointment with him to meet Gu Jin on Friday afternoon.
The Gu family has three sons and one daughter. Although the eldest young master Gu Mo is favored by the madam and the patriarch, he cannot control his temper and is prone to jealousy. In fact, he is the son of the second madam and the assistant of the Gu family, born out of their secret affair. Only the second madam and the assistant know this secret very well.
Second Young Master Gu Wang spends his days indulging in endless amusement, showing no interest in inheriting the family business, which the elders have left to him.
Third daughter Gu Ling excelled academically and had a steady personality. However, because she was a daughter, the patriarch did not consider passing down the family business to her.
Among them, there is another character, and that is Chen Yihan, who conspired with Su Che to set up Chu Fan and plays the role of the second male lead in this world.
Chen Yihan is actually the illegitimate child of Duke Gu's family. He was born to a maid in the Gu family when Duke Gu was drunk. Afterwards, Duke Gu felt that this matter was damaging to his reputation, so he sent someone to take the maid to the hospital for an abortion. Unexpectedly, the maid escaped halfway and gave birth to Chen Yihan outside. She told Chen Yihan about his origins and raised him while making a living through the flesh trade.
After the maid died of a sexually transmitted disease, Chen Yihan, who harbored jealousy and a desire for revenge, disguised herself as a companion and approached Gu Jin. On the surface, they were good friends, accompanying him through his youth and into adulthood. However, deep down, she was plotting her moves. With the help of Su Che, she gradually caused the deaths of Gu Mo, the head of the Gu family, and Gu Jin himself. In the end, she successfully obtained all the shares of the Gu Corporation and inherited the entire fortune.
It was said that the young master of the Chu family was coming, so the lady of the house, the head steward, and several children from the Gu family came to greet him. Although they appeared to be enthusiastic, Cen Xiuzhi knew that these people must be secretly mocking him for being foolish. Even someone as useless as Gu Jin was desired, indicating that the Chu family's glory would not last long.
After Gu Jin and Chen Yihan finished school, they didn't know when they would arrive home. Usually, the two of them would enter through the back door. Cen Xiuzhi said he would wait for them in the backyard, so they spent some time together without needing any servants to accompany them.
The Gu family's mansion is no smaller than the Chu family's. The servants come and go, carrying out their tasks. Every now and then, a passing maid would greet Cen Xiuzhi with a cheerful "Good afternoon, Mr. Chu." Cen Xiuzhi walked all the way to the backyard of the mansion. Through a layer of green wooden wall, he keenly caught sight of Gu Jin not far ahead. However, he didn't see Chen Yihan. Just as he was about to call out to Gu Jin, he suddenly noticed another person accompanying him.
With a fair complexion and a gentle speaking voice, she smiles like a refreshing breeze in spring. She is the childhood white moonlight that had captivated Gu Jin's heart, making him unable to forget for a full seven years. She is also a time-traveler from a different world who doesn't originally belong to this world - Su Che.
