They looked down on him,
saying he was just an unwanted brat and that it was his good fortune to be adopted by their family.
He remembered how, once when he had performed well on a test, Gu Zihan had harshly chastised him, warning him not to show off at home, or else he would suffer the consequences.
So,
he didn't show his true abilities; he deliberately did poorly on exams, deliberately disobeyed.
Qi Huifen was very kind to him, accommodating him in every way.
Gu Yaoqi, however, kept scolding him, saying he was ungrateful— the family was raising him, yet he couldn't give them peace of mind.
Back then, all he could do was endure it,
endure it in silence!
Now,
he looked up at Gu Zichen's room and saw Qiao Xiguan suddenly walking out.
Their gazes met.
A smile suddenly appeared on his lips; he would start his revenge on the Gu family with this woman!
Within the Gu family's large courtyard.
