"Why do you fly first class, while my dad and I have to squeeze into economy class?"
"Tsk, I did something wrong. Your father never flew in first class until his death. You can't let him squeeze you in now. Come on, give it to me and go back."
"I mean, why do you let me fly economy class! I don't care, please upgrade me as soon as possible."
Gu Yu slowly regained consciousness, and heard the conversation between a girl and a middle-aged man. The girl's tone was obviously angry, and she asked the man,
Gu Yu frowned slightly and rubbed his temples. The memories in his mind began to merge with his own consciousness, and countless picture fragments flashed by.
Because the first-class cabin boarded the plane half an hour early, Gu Yu's previous drowsiness and now waking up would not appear abrupt. He and the lady sitting next to him both wore eye masks.
The quarrel in the ears gradually became louder, and the flight attendant came to persuade the girl to return to her seat. However, the girl was in the rebellious stage, and the noise became louder and louder.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Are you going to let her sleep? Isn't there an empty seat? Use my miles to upgrade her."
As soon as Gu Yu took off his blindfold and prepared to watch the excitement, the lady sitting next to him already spoke impatiently,
"You look like you're rich, right? I won't be promoted!"
I don’t know if the woman’s arrogant attitude hurt the girl, or if she just wants to confront others.
He said angrily and returned to his seat. The woman next to Gu Yu was so angry that he was speechless.
The girl's companion, the middle-aged man who had quarreled with her before, laughed mockingly.
"ill!"
The woman rolled her eyes angrily, cursed, and immediately wanted to get up and argue with the other party.
Only when she was domineering and bullying others, she never experienced such cowardice.
Gu Yu also figured out the situation now. Yes, they are all acquaintances.
The scene just now is the beginning of the chapter. Lu Yuan, Peng Jiahe and Jiang Lai had an unharmonious encounter on the plane as they set off to return home.
Gu Yu took a look at Jiang Lai, who was sitting next to him. She wore a red dress with beige high-heeled shoes, and her flaming red lips made her cold-white complexion even more obvious.
The small square face that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, coupled with the tall and slender figure, has the temperament of a royal lady. She looks strong, aloof, and full of aggression.
"Ms. Jiang, what a coincidence, we took the same plane back to China."
Gu Yu had met Jiang Lai at the Jiang Group's investment dinner. Generally, Miss Jiang would not take care of her family's business. Her life was relatively boring, spending money on eating, drinking, having fun, dating, and shopping.
The scene at that time is relatively clear in Gu Yu's memory. Because her brother Jiang Haokun stopped her from being with her new boyfriend, Jiang Lai made a scene at the investment dinner and issued a vigorous declaration of love.
Under the witness of so many partners of the Jiang family, Jiang Haokun was really helpless against his sister, whom he had doted on since childhood. He pinched his nose and reluctantly said that he would no longer care about her.
Jiang Lai's proud and free-spirited figure left a deep impression on Gu Yu.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Lai suppressed his unhappiness, frowned slightly, and looked at the handsome and sunny Gu Yu,
She already has a boyfriend and is in love, but she disdains Gu Yu, who looks like a high-quality and successful man at first glance. Money and looks are not her criteria for measuring whether a boy is good or not and her taste.
"Mr. Jiang and I have a business cooperation and have invested in several projects together. I have met you before at a dinner hosted by the Jiang Group." Gu Yu replied with a casual smile,
"I haven't officially met you yet, Gu Yu."
"Hello, Jiang Lai."
When I heard that he was her brother's partner, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family was not easy to look at, but she still had a sense of alienation on her face.
It’s not that she is overconfident in her appearance and feels that all men who come into contact with her have some plot against her.
But there were too many things like this in her growing up experience, especially among the business partners who had dealings with her brother and the Jiang family, there were many people who coveted her and the Jiang family's financial resources.
So usually when dealing with such strangers, she will appear aloof.
Sometimes fate is so ridiculous. Jiang Lai wanted to find true love without materialistic interests, so he jumped out of the Jiang family's network, but he met a scumbag all at once.
Realizing Jiang Lai's indifference, Gu Yu did not talk more with a sullen face. There would be plenty of opportunities later.
On the plane returning to China, Gu Yu sorted out his identity in the world and discovered something very interesting.
Gu Yu is from Yanjing. After his parents died in an accident, he left behind a house in Yanjing HD District with a mortgage and insurance money.
My parents are from Beipiao, a small city in Hebei Province. My mother has no relatives and is an only child. My grandparents also died early. My father’s side is a bit more complicated. He has many brothers and sisters, including two brothers and a sister.
After hearing the bad news about Gu Yu's parents, he rushed to Yanjing. His grief was on the surface, and he cried and secretly inquired about the arrangement of the inheritance.
Gu Yu was still a freshman in high school at that time. Even if he was smart, he had no good way to deal with these shameless relatives who kept saying that Gu Yu was still underage.
Fortunately, neighbor Xia Donghai and Liu Mei came forward, contacted the neighborhood committee, and asked a lawyer friend for help.
Seeing that they could not do anything and could not get any benefits, a group of annoying relatives reluctantly left Yanjing.
In fact, Gu Yu's parents didn't leave much money. After paying off the insurance money and deposits, there wasn't much left.
The house we live in now was actually bought not long ago. It is a large apartment that Gu Yu’s parents worked hard for half their life to replace.
Seeing that Gu Yu was alone, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, driven by compassion and kindness, took on the responsibility of taking care of Gu Yu's life.
During the three years of high school, Gu Yu ate and drank at Xia Donghai's house, and his relationship with their three children became increasingly close. They were not brothers and sisters, but more like brothers and sisters.
In high school, Gu Yu's academic performance was always excellent and he was very thoughtful. He passed the TOEFL exam in his senior year of high school with a score of 110.
Successfully passed the interview at New York University and received an undergraduate admission notice, which included a scholarship, but it was not a full tuition fee. It only exempted all tuition fees. Gu Yu still had to pay for living expenses and other expenses by himself.
The cost of living for at least four years is not a small sum. After much thought, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei informed Xia Xue, Liu Xing and Xia Yu that they decided to bear the cost of Gu Yu's study abroad.
But Gu Yu, who deeply felt that he owed too much affection to Xia Donghai's family, secretly sold the house left by his parents without telling Xia Donghai and Liu Mei.
By the time Xia Donghai and Liu Mei found out, it was already a done deal. With four million in proceeds from selling the house, Gu Yu took the first step in the legend.
At New York University, in addition to completing his studies, Gu Yu joined the Asian fraternity and actively participated in organizing various activities.
When I graduated in 2014, I already owned a capital investment company registered in Shanghai and a financial securities company registered in Xiangjiang.
Unlike those students who set their sights on the United States, his sights are basically on China.
Using the contacts accumulated in college and his several successful operations in Hong Kong and US stocks, as well as the virtual currency market, he developed a reputation.
I have also invested in several Internet companies with great prospects. The net worth of over 100 million is just the beginning, and the future is promising.
