Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this day, Butler Fu had gone to wake Baby Chu as usual, but no matter what, the boy was unwilling to get up. He nestled under the blanket, refusing to get up to go to school.
No matter how Butler Fu coaxed him, he would not move. In the end, he only said, “Baby Chu doesn’t want to study anymore!”
When he said that, Butler Fu realized the seriousness of the matter! It seemed that this little fellow had encountered some issues in school!
No matter how Butler Fu tried to persuade him, Baby Chu kept himself nestled in the blanket. His little body was curled up under the sheets and he refused to pay heed to the man.He would only say, “Anyway, the other kids don’t like me! It doesn’t matter if I go or not! So, I’d rather not go!”
When Butler Fu heard this, he couldn’t help recalling the time when Gu Jinglian was little. At that time, he was in kindergarten at a private international school. That school was more prestigious than the kindergarten that Baby Chu was studying at now. It was an international school, hence the children who attended it were also from foreign countries. They were children of expatriates, high-ranking officials from the embassies, and senior management of international corporations…
However, only Gu Jinglian had a special background.
At that time, although the Gu family was not as powerful as it was now, it was still a force to be reckoned with. At first, when Gu Jinglian entered the school, the Gu family did not place much emphasis on his identity.
Butler Fu had already forgotten what the reason was – it seemed that another child in the kindergarten had provoked Gu Jinglian and the two children started fighting.
At that time, Gu Jinglian was only five years old. However, he had inherited the Gu family’s bloodline, being a quiet boy without much of a temper. Even when angered, he would not start a fight. As far as he could remember, Gu Jinglian was a person of very few words. Rather, he was quiet and distant.
In kindergarten, he wasn’t very popular. Rather than saying that he did not get along with the others, it would be more accurate to say that Gu Jinglian was very mature for his age. After all, given such a family environment, he had seen way more of the world than other children his age.
Violence, fights, he had even followed his father to the casino to patrol the venue when he was a child. Many times, he had watched helplessly as the gamblers either got themselves into debt or cheated. They would be beaten up by a gang of men until they wished they were dead.
Growing up under such circumstances, he was comparatively more mature than other children. Most other children at this age were innocent and ignorant. Hence, this created a gap between him and them.
Gu Jinglian, on the other hand, did not want to mingle with those children. Because of his arrogant nature, he distanced himself from them. However, after attending kindergarten for a period of time, his aloof personality improved slightly. It was just that he got careless in that one particular fight and failed to control his own strength, causing the other child to be badly injured.
Five-year-old children are good at mimicking. Whatever adults do, they will watch and do the same.
When most children fight, they would grab at each other’s clothes, kick their opponent, or throw soft punches. However, Gu Jinglian pushed the child to the ground, casually picked up a small stool and hit the child with it.
His violent personality frightened the other children in the class. But Gu Jinglian did not know that fighting this way was wrong. He felt that this was a fair competition.. That child was as tall as him, if not slightly taller, and was considerably strong too.
