Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 2: Death



Mr. Gu even suspected that some shareholders saw that they were going to die soon and suddenly felt guilty and put on a show for their son. In his opinion, this speculation was more reliable than that the little bastard who had been dissolute for so many years suddenly came to his senses.

When Gu Shao arrived at the hospital, what he saw was his father staring at the corridor.

The young man is lazy and cynical, but his face is truly amazing.

No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you will blush if you look at him for more than three seconds.

Because he really is so handsome.

Well, this familiar nonchalant look is definitely him.

It wasn’t swapped.

Mr. Gu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was furious: “What are you hanging around outside for? Why don’t you get over here?”

Gu Shao, who was smiling, suddenly lost his expression when he heard this, and quickened his pace as if he had accepted his fate.

“What’s going on?” Mr. Gu was very worried and looked serious.

If he still can’t see that there is something fishy about this kid at this moment, then he has really grown these eyes in vain.

The only thing Mr. Gu didn’t understand was when did this little bastard start pretending.

“When did you know about Xiao Xu? Why didn’t you tell me before?”

When he thought about how he regarded Xu Li as his most trusted subordinate, how he always took him with him no matter what, and even once regarded him as the successor of the company, in order to prevent this rebellious son from squandering the company and starving to death on the streets after his death… Mr. Gu felt upset just thinking about it.

Of course, what made him even angrier was that the little bastard in front of him just stood by and watched, knowing the truth but refusing to tell him, which ended up causing him to lose face.

Mr. Gu always had a premonition that he would never be able to wash away his reputation of not being able to judge people well.

Seeing him mention this, Gu Shao also felt very wronged: “Didn’t I tell you before? It was you who didn’t believe it, how can you blame me?”

Gu Shao had said long ago that the vice president named Xu Li had one face when facing his father and another face when facing his employees. He was arrogant at first and respectful later, and he really didn’t seem like a good person.

In particular, Xu Li seems to attach great importance to money.

Although Gu Shao does not work in the company, he is the young master after all, so it is not difficult for him to inquire about Xu Li’s salary.

Comparing it with that guy’s consumption level and doing a little calculation, Gu Shao found something wrong.

After all, he was someone his old father relied on. Out of caution, Gu Shao naturally investigated the matter in secret. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t feel at ease letting the other person stay with his old father.

What poor Mr. Gu didn’t know was that no one he had dealt with over the years had actually been able to hide the truth from his own son.

After the words fell, Mr. Gu said without thinking: “When did you——”

The next second, Mr. Gu suddenly remembered that it seemed that this little bastard really said that.

But at that time he didn’t take it seriously. He just thought that Gu Shao was saying bad things about Xu Li behind his back because he was planning to hand over the company to Xu Li.

Mr. Gu thought that Gu Shao was simply jealous as a child and was very angry at the time, thinking that Gu Shao was already eighteen or nineteen years old and still so ignorant.

Mr. Gu: “…………”

“So, you knew it from the beginning?”

“I guess so.” Otherwise, in just a few days, he would not have had time to react. The evidence had been collected long ago, but he did not expect it to come in handy so soon.

“At that time, Xu Li’s connection with Huangmei’s CEO was not that deep. Even if they wanted to arrest him, they could only arrest him alone, and Huangmei’s CEO would not be implicated. I saw that Xu Li had not made any major moves in the company, and the impact was not very serious, so I did not care.”

I originally wanted to catch a big fish, but something unexpected happened, so I had no choice but to close the net early.

So, this little bastard was indeed standing by and watching.

The veins on Mr. Gu’s forehead jumped violently.

Because of Gu Shao’s sudden outburst, Mr. Gu gradually remembered many details that he had previously overlooked.

For example, before my son was six years old, he was indeed very, very smart, not just ordinary smart. Everyone who saw him at that time would praise him as a child prodigy.

So later on, Gu Shao “degenerated” very quickly. Mr. Gu was very puzzled at the time. How could a good child, who had not been stimulated in any way and whose family was so happy, grow up in a bad way?

Mr. Gu once thought that it was because of the death of his biological mother was too great a blow to him, which led to this behavior, and he became like Zhongyong.

[Zhongyong = A man who was prodigy in his childhood, but later became became an ordinary person.]

Now that I think about it, this little bastard didn’t suddenly become stupid, he simply evolved.

By the way, when Xiao Shao was eight years old, less than three months after Lao Hu divorced, he had clearly stated that he did not like this uncle, hated this uncle, and felt that this uncle was heartless, and his character was questionable.

What did you do at that time?

Mr. Gu thought he was just a kid, what did he know? He almost beat him up for not respecting his elders.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Gu suddenly realized that his vision was not as good as that of a child.

“But you obviously don’t know anything.” No, no, Mr. Gu still couldn’t convince himself.

At this time, the secretary beside him couldn’t hold back any longer and added in a low voice: “Boss…you forgot that Mr. Gu graduated from the top three universities in the world…”

Those who can enter there are all outstanding people.

But in fact, before today, the secretary often ignored this matter.

I really don’t know how Mr. Gu can use such an impressive resume but still give others such an unreliable impression.

Mr. Gu was stunned: “What, didn’t he get in through the back door???”

“He obviously didn’t attend classes much in high school!”

Gu Shao: “…I’m not attending class because I’m participating in a competition. Thank you.”

Otherwise, how can he apply to foreign universities?

Only at this moment did Mr. Gu realize that he knew very little about his son.

He always thought he was the best father in the world, but in the end, he was still so unqualified.

Looking back, I didn’t actually spare much time to spend with him. Sometimes, father and son didn’t even see each other for a month or two.

Like other bosses, he seemed to often use money to reward his son.

Thinking of this, Mr. Gu felt extremely guilty.

“You must be very resentful of me, so you don’t want to tell me.” Even though I once looked at him with extremely disappointed eyes, he never said a word to defend himself…

“No.” The next second, the young man’s confused voice sounded.

“What makes you think that?”

“Dad, what are you thinking about?” Gu Shao shrugged: “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would become lazy!”

“What if you think I’m promising, and you stop working so hard to make money?” Compared to the first generation of rich people who work themselves to death, Gu Shao would rather be a useless second generation of rich people who has no worries about food and drink and just asks for money.

Caught off guard, Mr. Gu suddenly raised his head and said, “Huh?”

“As long as I am useless enough, there will always be someone who cares about me.” And this is indeed the fact. Ever since Gu Shao discovered that the more useless he was, the harder his old father worked, he suddenly became clear-headed.

“Especially in recent years, haven’t you noticed that the company’s market value has increased several times?”

This wave, this wave is called hoping your father will become a dragon.

Mr. Gu: “Hmm???”

Mr. Gu was shocked. He looked at his son in disbelief: “No… Don’t you want to build a career for yourself?”

How could a young man not even have this much ambition? ?

“???Isn’t our family business big enough?” Gu Shao was also a little shocked.

Then, he couldn’t help but count on his fingers: “We already have a house, a yacht, and a private jet two years ago. If you like sports cars, you can buy them at will…”

Gu Shao was a little puzzled: “Do you think I still need to struggle?”

Mr. Gu choked suddenly… He suddenly felt that what this little bastard said made a lot of sense!

In other words, I have been suffering all these years while he has been enjoying himself.

Mr. Gu suddenly felt a little unbalanced and couldn’t help but try to save his dignity: “… But if this is the case, you may never experience the feeling of holding power in your life. You are just dependent on me. When I turn against you one day and give birth to a brother or sister for you, you will have nothing.” Mr. Gu felt that he couldn’t go on like this and couldn’t help but threaten him.

Gu Shao was not frightened at all, and even looked at his old father with some amusement.

Mr. Gu was speechless for a moment.

The child trusted himself so much that he believed that even if he had a younger brother or sister, he would not abandon him.

Sure enough, favored children are always fearless.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of personality that Mr. Gu becomes more and more worried about him.

“…you brat!” Feeling that he was doomed, Mr. Gu gritted his teeth.

Then, he said angrily: “Didn’t you say you don’t care? Then why are you willing to take over the family business now? If you have the ability, don’t take it. Just watch it collapse!”

To be honest, Gu Shao was really willing to do so.

After all, relying on his savings, shares, and investments over the years, he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Actually, Gu Shao doesn’t care much about his family’s company. He has other activities outside, the kind that would surprise others if they were revealed.

Otherwise, why would Xingyu Technology suddenly come to us for cooperation?

But after all, the company was Mr. Gu’s hard work, and Gu Shao couldn’t bear to see him sad.

“Isn’t it because I see you’ve been so busy these years? I don’t want to see you worrying anymore, so I want you to have a good rest.”

This rebellious son always speaks so nicely.

Mr. Gu told himself not to be fooled by this brat, but he couldn’t help feeling happy in his heart.

The child has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for his father.

“…You just say nice things to please your dad.”

Relaxed, Mr. Gu fell asleep mumbling something.

What Mr. Gu didn’t know was that not long after he closed his eyes, Gu Shao’s expression changed.

The secretary was startled and looked over subconsciously.

What Gu Shao didn’t say just now was that another reason why he never asked about the company’s affairs over the years was that he didn’t have time.

Yes, Gu Shao doesn’t have time.

Everyone, including his father, thought that his father’s cancer was caused by overwork, but only Gu Shao knew that it was not the case.

When Gu Shao went abroad to attend university, he discovered that his family actually had a history of hereditary cancer.

Gu Shao even went to a professional institution to do genetic testing, and the results were very bad.

This is also the main reason why he doesn’t pay attention to money.

Power and glory are like passing clouds, which you cannot bring with you when you are born and cannot take with you when you die. Only a healthy body is the most important thing.

His father’s test results were relatively much better, and Gu Shao had been paying attention to his father’s daily routine and diet a few years ago. But even so, Mr. Gu still fell ill in middle age.

Gu Shao has been trying to find a solution over the years, including contacting several laboratories abroad.

I just hope that the efforts I have made over the years will really be useful.

The secretary at the side was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Young Master Gu, ah no, Mr. Gu in front of him, as if he was looking at a monster.

He understood every word of these words, so why couldn’t he understand them when they were put together?

Fortunately, Gu Shao only told his secretary the truth, hoping that the other party could help cover up, and did not expect the other party to give any constructive suggestions.

The secretary swallowed and silently said that it was no problem, and he would definitely cooperate.

At this time, Gu Shao didn’t know that there is a saying in this world: Man proposes, God disposes.

Sometimes it is destiny and it is beyond human control.

Gu Shao spent several years customizing the medicine in advance, and it did have a very good effect in the beginning. The cancer cells in Mr. Gu’s body were indeed gradually disappearing, but this medicine was also extremely harmful to the body, and he had to stop taking it every once in a while.

Once the cell cycle stops, the remaining cancer cells will fight back desperately.

After this happened several times and lasted for more than five years, Mr. Gu’s life finally came to an end.

“After I die, don’t be sad and don’t make it hard on yourself. Dad knows you have tried your best.” Before his death, Lao Gu was always relieved. He always felt that the child was not born in vain.

The love I had for him over the past twenty years was not in vain.

Looking at the company’s current scale and the batches of drugs shipped from the laboratory, Mr. Gu, who looks sick, still can’t hide his pride.

Looking around, whose child can be as filial and capable as his son?

It’s just that this child is too sentimental, which is not a good thing.

Seeing the young man in front of him with his head down and not saying a word, but his joints were white from being pinched, Mr. Gu felt so distressed that it hurt even more than his own body.

On his deathbed, he kept admonishing, “Ah… whose parents don’t die before their children… everyone will go through this in their life…”

“No matter who reaches this age, they will start to experience these things…”

First, the grandparents, then the parents, brothers and sisters, and even the partner’s children.

When we are born, we are constantly losing.

Can…

That was someone else, Gu Shao was unwilling and unable to accept it.

He always thought that as long as he was smart enough, he would be able to do it.

First it was his mother, then it was his father. Gu Shao wanted to say that if he was gone too, there would be no one in this world who would love him unconditionally, even if he was really a playboy who knew nothing.

Care about whether he has enough food and clothing, and worry about his safety in life.

But Gu Shao didn’t say it after all.

He couldn’t let Mr. Gu leave with worries and regrets.

Gu Shao pinched his palms almost to the point of bleeding, and used his acting skills from the past when he lied to others. He raised his head and said with a relaxed look: “Don’t worry, Dad, I will take good care of myself.”

Mr. Gu’s eyesight was already failing, but he didn’t even doubt it.

What he feared most was that this brat would cry. If he really cried, he would definitely not be willing to leave.

Hearing this, Mr. Gu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, Mr. Gu gradually lost his breath.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of life. Everyone thought that Mr. Gu would be fine after being sad for a while.

After all, life still has to go on as usual.

It was not until two months later that the secretary accidentally found a diagnosis.

The secretary thought it was left by Mr. Gu until he saw the signature on it.

——Gu Shao.
