Chapter 1434: Who Was Harmed by Who
Zhao Huimin stood where she was and watched Fang Hua’s car drive away. Her heart was in a knot.
She couldn’t let this matter ruin her Zhiqian. She had to fight for the position of the head of the Gu family for her son!
In the coffee shop, Zhao Huimin’s eyes were cold as she looked out of the window at the smokey and foggy scenery.
This coffee shop was located at the 99th floor. Zhao Huimin sat by the window and had a good view of the city. However, it was drizzling outside today, which had cast a layer of haze over the already not-too-hot weather, just like Zhao Huimin’s heart at the moment.
Zhao Huimin’s complexion was not too good. It was a little sallow. No matter how much foundation she applied, it still could not cover her large puffy eyes. This was because she had been depressed all year round and could not get a good rest.
Zhao Huimin has a very thoughtful mind. Ever since she married into the Gu family, she had been living in fear every day. Before she gave birth to Gu Zhiqian, she had been worried that she would lose her position as Mrs. Gu, so she had to compromise. Even though she was often bullied by the three siblings, she gritted her teeth and endured it. After all, it was not easy to be a step-mom. Because of this, the three siblings had become like wolves, tigers, and leopards in Zhao Huimin’s heart. She was tired of dealing with them every day, and she had to suffer the supercilious looks from Old Master Gu, which made her mentally and physically exhausted.
Later on, she became pregnant with Gu Zhiqian because she was afraid that the child in her stomach would be harmed, since her child would affect the three siblings to a certain extent, especially Gu Zhilin and Gu Zhiming. Therefore, before giving birth, Zhao Huimin had always declared that she was pregnant with a girl, because a girl did not involve the right of inheritance.
It was also because of this that Old Master Gu’s att.i.tude towards Zhao Huimin was even worse, and he did not have much hope for the child in her stomach. Perhaps it was because he wasn’t expecting much from the child himself, coupled with his dislike for Zhao Huimin, even after Zhao Huimin gave birth to Gu Zhiqian, she still did not gain Old Master Gu’s favour. On the contrary, Old Master Gu was instigated by Gu Zhilin’s birth mother’s family, saying that Zhao Huimin deliberately concealed the child’s gender out of ill intentions.
Old Master Gu believed in such words. In order to prevent Zhao Huimin’s so-called ill intentions from succeeding, Old Master Gu’s att.i.tude towards Gu Zhiqian had been very cold ever since Gu Zhiqian was born.
Zhao Huimin knew that it was because of her that Gu Zhiqian was not favored in the Gu family. Therefore, she lowered herself even more and compromised in the hope that Old Master Gu would like her. However, things did not go as planned. The more she showed herself and lowered herself, the more Old Master Gu disliked her. In the end, she gradually became the least favoured one in the entire Gu family.
However, Zhao Huimin still had hope in her heart. She thought that even if she was not doing well now, Gu Zhiqian was the grandson of the Gu family anyways. As long as Gu Zhiqian was outstanding, it was not impossible for him to take the position as the family head in the future. As long as Gu Zhiqian became the head of the family, then she could have all her suffering rewarded.
What Zhao Huimin didn’t expect was that her wishful thinking was broken again. As Gu Zhiqian gradually grew up, he was indeed as Zhao Huimin thought that he was an outstanding and very smart child, he even left Gu Zhilin and Gu Zhiming, who were much older than him, far behind. However, Gu Zhiqian never put his mind on the fight for the right of inheritance. Not only did he not work in the company, he chose to be an actor instead!
