Chương 274: Chapter 227: The First Stage, Refining the Heart_3

For three full years, Gu Chen led a life where he wandered through a multitude of temptations untouched. In his thirty-eighth year, Gu Chen's career soared even higher as he monopolized even the overseas markets, amassing a net worth of over one hundred billion. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention.

However, it was in that same year that his father suddenly fell gravely ill, becoming paralyzed and bedridden. His mother, anxious because of his father's illness, grew physically weaker than she used to be.

In that same year, at his parents' urging, Gu Chen abandoned his absurd life of unattachment and chose the most beautiful and compatible woman among his many female friends to marry.

When Gu Chen turned forty, his company's stock price suffered a Waterloo moment, its market value evaporated by hundreds of billions overnight, and that was also the year when his child was born.

No one can be smooth-sailing forever, and Lady Luck won't always stay by someone's side.
