Gu Li exchanged a few pleasantries with several esteemed shareholders of the Gu family, and when his eyes fell on his younger brother, he couldn't help but show more interest.

  He has never liked Gu Yu Chen since he was young.

  One is his origin, which is indeed not glorious; the other is that he always makes himself feel a sense of crisis.

  He still remembered that after Gu Zichen was taken back to the Gu's house, Ye Siyun had always been mean to him - a child born from an affair between her husband and his mistress, how could she possibly treat him well?

  At that time, he was already in junior high school and was a guest at his second uncle's house, where he also met Gu Tichen for the first time.

  What he knew was that Gu Zichen had a tough time when he was young, his birth mother's income was meager, and later she was plagued by illnesses, eventually developing depression, showing even less care for Gu Zichen than a stranger would. So at that time, Gu Zichen was slender and pale, with a personality so cold it was frightening, never taking the initiative to talk to people.

  That day, the nanny bought candies for her own children and had two extra lollipops. Seeing Gu Zichen staring blankly at his mother's photo alone, she pitied him and handed those two lollipops to him.

  Gu Zi Chen stared at her with his big, clear eyes for a long time before saying "thank you", taking the candy, carefully unwrapping it and putting it into his mouth.

  The nanny let out a sigh and busied herself inside and outside.

  She did not expect that those two lollipops would bring so much trouble to Gu Zichen.

  Ye Siyun and her friends had finished shopping, carrying a large bag of brand-name bags and clothes back home, with a proud look on their faces. However, when they saw Gu Zichen in the corner, their expressions immediately changed.

  She threw the paper bag in her hand to the ground and scolded: "Where did this wild species come from, dare to enter the Gu family's door? Others can give you face, but you can't be shameless yourself, really just like your mother, that fox spirit!"

  Gu Zhuo Chen ignored her, glanced at her, put the photos in his pocket and prepared to return to his own room.

  Seeing his lukewarm attitude, Ye Siyun got even angrier. "You really plan to stay here and not leave? Do you think this is a place where someone like you can set foot? Oh, I forgot, it's because your shameless mother died, and Old Master took you back out of pity for you. You're just a piece of trash, and sooner or later, you'll be kicked out."

  That year, Gu Zi Chen was seven years old, an age where he already understood everything. He clenched his fists tightly, and the prominent bones on his hands were covered with bulging veins.

  The second floor's Gu Li was also watching with amusement, and wanted to see how the "little mixed breed" in this big mouth would face all of this.

  Ordinary children would have cried and thrown a tantrum by now, and if they were more impulsive, they might even fight with Ye Siyun.

  Ke Gu Zichen didn't, he had an age-defying calmness and composure, quietly staring at Ye Siyun's pupils, the pitch-black eyes without a hint of emotion.

  Ye Siyun suddenly felt a wave of anger, her husband's infidelity, her own infertility, her father-in-law's favoritism, everything was suffocating her, so she vented all her anger on Gu Zichen.

  She saw the sugar in his mouth and rushed forward in a bad mood, snatched it away and slammed it to the ground.

  "How old are you and still eating this kind of thing, are you stupid?! People like you shouldn't be living in this world, your mother that cheap woman why didn't she abort you, letting you come into this world to disgust people!" Ye Siyun scolded more and more fiercely, even wanting to use physical force on him.

  Just as a slap was about to land, Gu Zichen, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
