The Regent's Little Wife

Wang Fang knew that Gu Nian's true identity was the daughter of the Gu family, but she didn't understand why the Gu family was so indifferent to their own daughter.

One weekend, Wang Fang went to Gu Nian's house to do homework. Gu's villa was magnificent, but when she walked into Gu Nian's room, Wang Fang was stunned.

Gu Nian's room was out of tune with the luxury of the villa and was so simple that it made people sad. Later, Gu Nian moved out of the Gu family and went to live with her grandparents.

Wang Fang worked hard since she was young. Although she was not as smart as Gu Nian, she worked ten times harder or even more. However, her grades always hovered around fifth or sixth in the class.

In contrast, Gu Nian has a photographic memory, and can remember everything he has seen. Wang Fang always memorizes words by rote when learning English, but Gu Nian can master them easily. Wang Fang often envies Gu Nian's talent, but also feels indignant about the injustice that Gu Nian has suffered. Why do people with such outstanding talents not receive the love of their parents?

That day, the school bell finally rang. Gu Nian wanted to buy a high-quality review material to fully prepare for the upcoming exam.

In the bookstore, she carefully selected and finally returned with a full load. However, when she passed by a fruit store, a unique fragrance hit her nose, that was the smell of durian. Looking at the golden flesh, Gu Nian couldn't help but think of her grandparents at home, who had worked hard for most of their lives and had never been willing to taste such an expensive fruit.

Although she recently received a scholarship of 100,000 yuan for her excellent grades, she has always been frugal and never spends a penny. But today, she decided to splurge and bought a durian to give the elderly a surprise.

Carrying the heavy durian, Gu Nian was in a particularly happy mood. However, just as she was about to leave the fruit shop, an unexpected figure came into her sight - Gu Yao.

Gu Yao was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and was surrounded by several classmates from aristocratic schools. They were chatting and laughing, and seemed to be planning to go to a classmate's house to hold a party.

When Gu Yao saw Gu Nian, her face instantly changed to another expression, an expression full of contempt and jealousy. "Hey, isn't this Gu Nian? What, you have money to buy durian? People like you, I'm afraid you can only afford these cheap goods for the rest of your life."

Gu Yao's words were full of malice and ridicule, as if she wanted to reduce Gu Nian to the dust.

Gu Nian held the durian tightly and looked at Gu Yao firmly. She wanted to refute, but considering that this was a public place, she chose to forbear.

However, Gu Yao did not give up. She continued to provoke: "Look at you, you look so poor, you can only be my foil forever. Do you think that winning the scholarship can change anything? Let me tell you, a pheasant will always be a pheasant and will never become a phoenix. And I am the phoenix that is high above, and you will never be able to compare to me."

Gu Yao's words became more and more outrageous, and she even began to threaten Gu Nian: "You'd better not mess with me, otherwise, as long as I act coquettishly and shed a few tears in front of my parents and brothers, they will kick you out of the Gu family without hesitation. After all, you are just a child adopted from an orphanage, and you have no status at all." Gu Yao's words made the classmates around her laugh, and they seemed to enjoy the pleasure of bullying the weak.

However, Gu Nian's patience was limited. She could no longer tolerate Gu Yao's insults and provocations, so she took two steps forward, stretched out her hand and gave Gu Yao two loud slaps. This move shocked everyone, including Gu Yao herself. She never thought that Gu Nian would be so brave to resist her.

"You dare to hit me?" Gu Yao covered her cheek and looked at Gu Nian in disbelief.

"I'm going to hit you!" Gu Nian's voice was firm and powerful. "Gu Yao, I tell you, sooner or later everyone will know what kind of person you are in your heart. I don't care about your so-called Gu family at all. I tell you, don't mess with me, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it." After saying that, Gu Nian turned and left, leaving Gu Yao standing there in a daze, at a loss.

Seeing this, Gu Yao's followers hurried forward to help her up and asked her if she needed to go to the hospital. However, Gu Yao was no longer in the mood to attend the party. She made an excuse and hurriedly left the scene.

Gu Nian returned home with the joy of victory. She handed the durian to her grandparents, and seeing their surprised expressions, she felt extremely satisfied and happy.

Gu Jingxiu was recently upset because of Gu Nian's cheating. Although he had used money and power to silence the teachers, the news still spread. In this circle, people are always keen to talk about these gossips. Gu Jingxiu was depressed and even started to take leave to stay at home.

When he saw Gu Yao coming home injured, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and asked her anxiously what happened.

However, Gu Yao evaded the question by saying that she had accidentally bumped into him. She did not want Gu Jingxiu to know the truth, because that might cause her to lose more favor and status.

The driver stood at the door, watching Gu Yao's back as she left, hesitant to speak. He saw the conflict between Gu Nian and Gu Yao, but he didn't see Gu Nian hit Gu Yao. However, when Gu Jingxiu cast his gaze towards him, he still hesitated, and finally stammered out what he had seen.

Gu Jingxiu sat upright on the sofa with his fists clenched. During this period of time, his thoughts were like a lake stirred by a strong wind, and it was difficult to calm down.

The perfect score that Gu Nian achieved in the physics competition was like a huge rock thrown into the center of a lake, stirring up ripples in his heart.

Physics competition, this annual event, has been held for nearly ten years. Since its inception, no one has been able to reach that perfect score. Even the closest one always has a gap of two points, and these two points were deliberately given up by Gu Nian. He couldn't help but wonder, has Gu Nian's grades really gotten this good?

However, in the Gu family, a seemingly glamorous family, Gu Nian is always regarded as the one who comes from the bottom and is incompatible with them.

Her efforts and achievements seemed to never be able to break this inherent prejudice. In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Gu Jingxiu went to Gu Nian's school, had a long talk with the principal, and carefully checked all of Gu Nian's grades from the first to the third year of high school.

The result surprised him - Gu Nian's report card was full of dazzling full marks. This made Gu Jingxiu start to re-examine Gu Nian. What kind of girl is she? Could it be that they really misunderstood her for so many years?

Just as Gu Jingxiu was immersed in his thoughts, the laughter of Gu Jingxuan and Gu Jingshen came from downstairs. Their voices were so loud that even Gu Yao on the second floor could hear them clearly.

Gu Jingshen's voice was filled with excitement. He shouted, "Yaoyao, where are you? Brother brought you something good!" However, all he got in response was silence. So, Gu Jingshen took the gift in his hand and stepped onto the stairs to the second floor.

He gently pushed open the door of Gu Yao's room, only to see Gu Yao sitting at the desk with her back to him, as if she was concentrating on writing something.

He walked to Gu Yao's side, gently shook the gift in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, look at what this is?"
