Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

A little after eight in the evening, in a high-end coffee shop in Ande Square, a young couple sat facing each other by the window. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, which made people passing by couldn't help but take a second look.

"Ayan..." The girl held a small spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup anxiously. The expression in her eyes seemed to contain a lot of words to say, but after gently calling the man's name, she bit her lips and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her mouth.

The man had originally lowered his head, and when he heard her call, he raised his eyes and looked at her, frowned slightly, then picked up his mobile phone and opened it to look at the date on it, and his face suddenly changed.

"I have something to do and I'm leaving first!" After saying that, he ignored her reaction, stood up quickly, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and ran away.

The noise he made was very loud, and the sound of the chair rubbing on the ground startled everyone in the coffee shop. Everyone turned around but only had time to see his back as he pushed the door open, so their eyes all fell on the girl who was sitting alone in the same place.

Being watched by so many people, the girl looked very embarrassed, and the expression on her face almost made her cry, but she forced herself to hold it back, stood up politely, bowed slightly to everyone, and said apologetically: "Sorry everyone, my friend is in a hurry and disturbed you."

Everyone responded with a tolerant smile with understanding, but they had a very bad impression of the rude man.

The man who ran away was unaware of all this, but even if he knew, he would not care. This person was of course Yang Yan, and his identity in this small world was a rich second generation.

He was handsome and rich, and his family business was carried by a super capable sister. Gu Yangyan had lived a relaxed life for the past twenty years. He did whatever he liked according to his own wishes, which could be said to be very comfortable.

But everything has changed dramatically since today, or it has changed since his grandfather passed away half a year ago, but the Gu family didn't know it at that time.

The Gu family's business was earned entirely by Grandpa Gu from scratch. This man started as a small shoe repairman, then opened his own workshop and slowly expanded it into a company.

He also developed the company step by step until it occupied half of the shoe industry, which amazed everyone who heard his legendary story.

But his life was not without regrets. When he was young, he focused on his career and neglected his family. His wife got cancer at the age of 40. When she was diagnosed, it was already in the late stage. Even more money could not save her life.

At that time, their only daughter Gu Xiuyun had just turned 18 years old. Seeing her mother being ignored and neglected, she not only separated from her father, but also affected her view of choosing a spouse.

She didn't care about the other party's family background or appearance. What she valued most was character and whether he was sincere to her. After picking and choosing, she finally fell in love with her future husband, a man who held her, protected her, and thought of her first in everything.

Although Grandpa Gu looked down on this son-in-law and thought that he was with his daughter only for their family's money, he had protected his daughter like a treasure since his wife passed away, and finally he couldn't resist her and agreed.

However, he made very harsh requirements, that the man must marry into their Gu family, and the children born in the future must also have the surname Gu, and he himself can never work in Gu's enterprise.

Qi Yuxuan agreed without hesitation, saying that he was with Gu Xiuyun because he admired her, and he was willing to give up everything as long as he could spend the rest of his life with her.

Gu Xiuyun was moved to tears, and she was more convinced that she had not found the wrong person. The two soon held a wedding. After marriage, they were very affectionate. Within a year, they had the fruit of their love, the eldest daughter Gu Luoling, and four years later, they gave birth to Gu Yangyan.

Grandpa Gu always felt that his son-in-law had bad intentions, but he had never done anything out of line in the past twenty years. He did not flirt with other women, and never cared about the Gu family's business. He used his wife's private money to run a mediocre bookstore, and spent all his free time around his wife and children.

At the moment he closed his eyes, Grandpa Gu finally felt relieved. He thought that he had been in the business world for many years and had become snobbish. He always looked at people and things with a critical eye.

He handed the company to his granddaughter who had shown extraordinary business acumen since childhood. In addition to the property left to his daughter and grandson, he also prepared a copy for his son-in-law, which was considered to be his recognition of him.

Today, just half a year after Grandpa Gu passed away, Gu Luoling was insulted by someone who broke into her hotel room while on a business trip. Although this caused great harm to her body and mind, this kind of thing could not defeat her tenacious character.

But not long after, what happened in the hotel was recorded in a video and posted on the Internet, and everyone knew about it. It was obviously someone deliberately framed her. Her face was clearly photographed in the video, and everyone knew what happened to the chairman of Gu's Shoes.

Then her fiancé, who had been engaged for two years and was about to enter the marriage hall, broke off the engagement. A few days later, Gu Luoling was found hanged in her apartment. Gu's Shoes lost two people in power and was in turmoil for a while.

It was at this time that Gu Yangyan, who endured the pain of losing his relatives, entered the company and began to try to manage.

However, he had never been interested in business before, and he knew nothing about the sudden power. He was annoyed every day, so when his father offered to help him, he hesitated and agreed.

Later, he unexpectedly discovered that his father was very talented in business. Many things that he could not figure out could be handled quickly and perfectly in his hands.

Gu Yangyan also knew more or less about the grievances of the elders. He felt that his father really loved his mother. He had such a talent for business but was willing to live an ordinary life just to marry his mother.

Therefore, he relied more on his father. He discussed many core secrets with him without any defense, and handed over some important affairs to him.

Until one day, he signed a document brought by Qi Yuxuan without even reading it. Soon after, he was told that Gu's had been changed, and the new chairman was his father whom he fully trusted.

Gu Yangyan was completely confused at the time. He ran to question Qi's father in disbelief, but saw a young man who looked very much like his father beside him.

That person turned out to be his half-brother. Qi Huarong was half a year older than his sister. He was born to Qi Yuxuan's girlfriend before he met his mother. Qi's father had never known his existence until his mother passed away not long ago. He learned about his life and came to him.

Qi Yuxuan avoided talking about his attempt to seize his son's company. Instead, he shamelessly asked him to call him brother, and said that he owed them mother and son in the past and would definitely compensate him in the future.

Compensation? What compensation? The company he cheated from him, the family business that his grandfather had worked hard to build?

Gu Yangyan seemed to know his father for the first time, and threatened to sue him to take back what belonged to his family. If he couldn't get it back, he would never let it fall into the hands of outsiders even if he destroyed it.

Then he slammed the door and left, ready to go home to discuss this matter with his mother. Unfortunately, he didn't get to see his mother for the last time. He was hit head-on by a large truck on the way and lost his life on the spot.

Everything would have ended here. Although he was very angry and unwilling, he did not have deep resentment. However, Gu Yangyan saw a novel about his family after his death.

From that book, he learned many truths that he did not know before. First of all, his half-brother designed his sister to be insulted. Her death was not suicide, but murdered.

Back then, Qi Yuxuan hooked up with a rich girl and abandoned his lover of six years. Qi Huarong's mother left heartbroken and found out that she was pregnant. She left him because she could not bear it. Then she raised him alone with difficulty.

In fact, Qi Huarong did not know his life experience not long ago, but he knew it as early as two years ago when his mother passed away. His mother died of exhaustion at a young age. He hated his biological father and Gu Xiuyun who relied on power to destroy the relationship between his parents.

So he came to City A early, but never showed up. Instead, he hid around the Gu family and made arrangements. After Grandpa Gu passed away, he first sent someone to destroy his sister Gu Luoling. Seeing that she was not defeated, he actually designed to kill her.

After that, he secretly recognized Qi's father and won Gu Yangyan's trust and dependence by giving him advice behind his back. In fact, Qi Yuxuan knew nothing about business management. All his things were taught to him by Qi Huarong.

After successfully deceiving Gu Yangyan to transfer the company to Qi's father, he was afraid that he would really destroy Gu's as he said. After all, he had been the chairman of the board and knew a lot of company secrets. Once sold to the rival Gu's, it would inevitably be affected.

So Qi Huarong went all out and sent someone to pretend to cause an accident to kill him.

After that, it was very simple to deal with Gu Xiujun. Her daughter and son had accidents one after another. She was already deeply shocked. Qi Huarong appeared and exposed her identity. She learned that her husband had betrayed her a long time ago. She was so angry that she stopped breathing quickly.

The Gu family died out, and Qi's father didn't end up well. His beloved son with his surname hated him the most. After deceiving the company, he sent him to a black-hearted nursing home, where he was tortured and slowly died.

After reading the original owner's memory, Yang Yan had to say that the male protagonist in this world was cruel enough, but his temperament was too extreme.

Qi Huarong's mother was indeed miserable. She met a scumbag and was deceived by her body and heart, but Gu Xiuyun was also a victim of deception, and the Gu family siblings were even more innocent. It was really too much to cause anger to harm them to this point.
