Chapter 1339: Trophy Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Juexi’s comment caught Du Mingsheng by surprise. He put the coffee cup on the table and said with a smile, “I am incomparable to Brother Gu, of course. I only know some simple tricks.”

“I remember you being very smart since you were young, you don’t have to be so humble now,” Gu Juexi said. He put his cup on the table and leaned back against the sofa.

Du Mingsheng looked down anxiously, as if he wanted to hide something that was displayed in his eyes.

After a while, Du Mingsheng looked up at Gu Juexi and said in a straightforward manner, “Brother Gu, what is the real agenda of this meeting?”

Gu Juexi crossed his right leg over his left leg, adjusting himself to a comfortable posture while peering at Du Mingsheng’s hands that had clenched into fists and quickly unclenched.

The young man was still a little too green.

“Nothing, really. It’s just that I heard Auntie Yuan mention that you were at B City, and my mom has been pestering me to invite you to my house for dinner. She misses you very much,” Gu Juexi said flatly, avoiding the real agenda.

“How is Madam doing lately? Is she alright? She was always good to me every time I visited Gu Mansion when I was a kid. I’ve been occupied with the company lately, but I’ll visit her when I’m free,” Du Mingsheng said sincerely, smiling fondly.

Gu Juexi clasped his hands together, his eyes focusing on Du Mingsheng. “Mingsheng, what am I to you?”

Du Mingsheng looked at Gu Juexi in surprise. “Young Master, what do you mean?”

Gu Juexi shrugged and continued, “It’s nothing. Are you facing any difficulties at work?”

Du Mingsheng shook his head. “Everything is under control. May I know why you called me here?”

Gu Juexi nodded. He reached over and pushed his laptop forward, showing it to Du Mingsheng. “Someone installed a surveillance device in my office, or should I call it a bug? Although the bug was destroyed, the mainboard is still intact. Mingsheng, my guess is, the IP address belongs to your new company.”

Gu Juexi spoke in a monotonous tone, but there were slight changes to Du Mingsheng’s face. His eyes darted from left and right, sweat started beading on his forehead, and the blood slowly drained from his face.

Gu Juexi looked at Du Mingsheng’s pale face. After all, he was still too young to react, or at least pretend, accordingly.

“Brother Gu, what do you mean by that?” Du Mingsheng asked anxiously, not daring to look Gu Juexi in the eyes again.

“For all those years Auntie Yuan worked in our house, she overlooked your upbringing a lot, I suppose. Moreover, I think the thing Auntie Yuan said the most to you every time she went home was ‘Look at the Young Master’, wasn’t it?” Gu Juexi said as if he didn’t notice Du Mingsheng’s peculiar expression.

Du Mingsheng hung his head low, not saying a word.

“It must be terrible to live under the shadow of a trophy child, even if you are already very excellent and intelligent. You hate me,” Gu Juexi said frankly.

Du Mingsheng clasped his hands together tightly, his body trembling.

“Mingsheng, it’s not too late to turn back now,” Gu Juexi cut to the chase and said.

Suddenly, Du Mingsheng got to his feet. “Turn back? What have I done wrong? I don’t understand why she couldn’t stay with me, why she couldn’t watch me grow up. Nothing was more important than the Gu family. Since I was young, all I ever wanted was her compliments, but no, all she ever talked about was how great you were. She never praises me, I am nothing to her!”

“So when someone wanted to attack me, you chose to help her, didn’t you?” Gu Juexi lifted his head and looked at Du Mingsheng.

Du Mingsheng curled his hands into fists and growled, “Yes! I just wanted my mother to know that you are not that great after all.”

Gu Juexi stood up as well. Being slightly taller than Du Mingsheng, his height showed some sort of superiority to the young man. “Your mother takes pride in you, she always does. If you keep on doing this, Auntie Yuan will be heartbroken.”
