Chapter 608 A Different Him
rise and laughter, Gu Chi remained calm as ever. He glanced down at his finger, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It was chosen by my wife for me. She has always been frugal and averse to extravagan...Chapter 608: He's Different
When Gu Ke'yu thought of this, a sense of oppression welled up in his heart, making him feel stifled. The cake in his mouth suddenly seemed bland and tasteless.
"I see. So how is your brother doing now Is he mentally alright"
"No way, my brother is now a true high-quality single man. He's very capable in the company and in the eyes of others. It turns out those relatives and friends who looked down on him are now regretting it."
Speaking of this half-brother, Si Nian didn't seem to have much rejection. The relationship between the two looked pretty good. Her eyes were full of admiration and liking for Lu Jiayan, just like an ordinary sister's concern and love for her brother.
"Lots of times, those aunts and uncles want to get in touch with my brother through me because he just ignores them. My dad has tried to reason with him too, but it's no use. I often receive lots of presents!"
The little girl became more and more excited, her eyes sparkling. It was like an underage brother who had received chocolate from a secret admirer, being absorbed into his innocent younger sister's collection. I never thought this kind of plot would happen in real life.
Gu Ke'yi still couldn't understand one thing: why did these people change their attitude so quickly Was it simply because Lu Ji was handsome and wealthy
"Why did everyone change so quickly"
Si Nian looked at Gu Ke Yu, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression, and burst into laughter.
"How could there still be this question! Of course, Lu Jiayan is excellent and capable."
The excited Si Nian even pulled Gu Ke Yu's hand, looking like a lively young girl. Then, hugging a pillow, she giggled and continued talking about her brother.
"Actually, my father isn't very good at the various new investment methods I'm exploring now. Our family's previous business didn't have such a large-scale plan. Everything we have now is because my brother came back, studied and invested for a while."
"My older brother actually lost his memory, but all that professional knowledge didn't disappear. He led our family to a higher level and expanded into more overseas industries. Now everyone knows how amazing my brother is."
Si Nian's admiration was about to overflow from her eyes. Gu Ke Yu, listening to these words, finally understood the pressure and difficulties Lu Ji Yan had faced alone, helping his family break through the encirclement and move forward. What kind of experiences would a man in his twenties need to go through to have this courage and determination It was really not easy.
I thought he was a rich second generation, enjoying life on his parents' shoulders, but it turns out he got to where he is today through his own hard work and effort.
He was more capable than Gu Ke'yu had imagined, bearing greater pressure. This man wasn't simple.
"Your brother is truly accomplished. I've never heard him talk about these experiences before."
Gu Ke Yu slowly said this sentence.
Si Nian let out a light laugh.
"It's normal, my brother is such a strong person, how could he possibly say these things to a girl."
She was looking at Gu Ke Yu with increasingly gossipy eyes.
“But my brother wouldn’t normally be this attentive to girls, but the way he looks at you, his eyes are so gentle they could cry. However, at work, he's always scowling with no smile on his face, working incredibly hard. He’s completely different from the Lu Jiayan you see.”
Gu Ke'yu was very curious about what was different.
When asked this question, Si Nian seemed to tremble slightly, and her face shifted from the joy she had just moments ago to a somber expression.
"My brother is a very intelligent and capable person. He doesn't care about emotions or anything like that. He just uses whatever means necessary to achieve his goals. That's why our family has developed so quickly."
"My dad also said that Lu Jiayan is a principled and capable person. He's very hardworking, even more so than my dad when he started his business from scratch."
Speaking of this, Si Nian's expression was different from before, with more admiration and concern for Lu Ji Yan. Her eyes were full of respect for him, a younger sister's love for her elder brother.
Meanwhile, Si Nian hesitated for a moment before continuing.
Back then, there was a pretty big incident. My family was just getting started, and I was still in college. Because my brother developed too quickly and blocked the way for others, they would cause him trouble every day.
Once, when I was playing outside with my classmates, we wanted to stay in a hotel outside at night. However, we were blocked by bad guys unexpectedly.
Si Nian swallowed nervously, clearly feeling hesitant and tense as she spoke about this.
"I will never forget this in my life. At first, I thought our family was just doing business. If my brother hadn't been there that day, I might not have survived to see the world today. It's all thanks to my brother that I'm alive today."
The girl's eyes were filled with fear and apprehension about the event, but also with gratitude and trust towards her brother. This might be the turning point where Si Nian began to see Lu Jiayan in a new light, and the siblings started being honest with each other.
After that incident, my attitude and feelings towards my older brother truly changed. Because it was the first time I felt his concern and care for me. Although he's usually very serious and rarely smiles, he is still a good brother.
Si Nian didn't say much about the details, presumably because it wasn't a pleasant experience. For a girl, this kind of experience is best not to happen again. But this conversation also made Gu Keyu understand how complex Lu Jiayan, this man, truly was.
Although Mingming is not much older than himself, the stories and experiences behind him are unknown to others. Especially the personalities reflected in these things are something Gu Ke'yu feels but Lu Jiayan doesn't know.
But for Lu Jiayan himself, coming to the city alone and facing so many challenges and difficulties, fighting alone must be what kind of loneliness and helplessness, a sudden change in identity would also leave a person at a loss, how difficult he must have been at that time.
Although young, he entered a wealthy family in an unflattering way. The eyes upon him held a strange curiosity, and opinions about him ranged from admiration to criticism. These were the pressures and shackles he carried on his back.
So, under these circumstances, Lu Jiayan's ruthless personality was forged. If he had followed the rules and regulations, the Lu family might not have reached its current status. Take Li Donghai before, if he had fallen into Lu Jiayan's hands, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as going to jail. He should be thankful that he didn't fall into Lu Jiayan's hands.
Gu Ke Yu's heart still had a tinge of disappointment. Lu Ji Yan was shrouded in mystery, making it difficult for her to see through the man's true nature. Today's conversation was just the tip of the iceberg. She herself didn't know how much Lu Ji Yan had experienced.
Maybe men are too good at disguising themselves, even someone like Gu Ke Yu who has lived a second life can't see through their facades.
"Ke Yu, what's wrong What are you thinking about"uld be a stretch. In reality, it was more like a storage room.All sorts of junk were here, but Gu Ke Yu's gaze finally landed on several plastic bottles. A glimmer of ruthless determination flashed in...
