Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot-Chapter 17: Genius Son, Gu Ziyu

Gu Ziyu had a reclusive and eccentric personality. In the previous life, when he was sent to kindergarten, he was isolated. The children at the kindergarten who isolated him and bullied him all ended up with unfortunate outcomes.

Combined with the occasional abuse from Lu Shijie and Gu Chuyun, Gu Ziyu grew up with the belief that there were no good people in the world. He despised everyone except for Gu Ci, which made him prefer staying at home and not having any pets. All his time was spent on the internet, engaging in battles with other people.

As Gu Ziyu was dragged out of the house by Gu Ci for a run, he had an expressionless face and his eyes were filled with resistance.

"Children need to sleep early, wake up early, and exercise more in order to grow taller."

Gu Ziyu smiled and replied, "Mom, those lies to deceive children won't work on me."

"You are a child!"

Gu Ziyu had no choice but to accompany her, so he went out with her. In order to let Gu Ziyu interact with more people, Gu Ci took him to a nearby park for a run. After running for ten minutes, Gu Ziyu was already panting heavily.

Gu Ziyu, who was weak and easily defeated, felt his competitive spirit ignited. He held on for another ten minutes, but eventually admitted defeat. He stood with his hands on his waist, huffing and puffing from exhaustion. Gu Ci couldn't help but find him adorable.

As the sky gradually brightened, more people joined in the morning run. Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu attracted everyone's attention. A little girl of similar age to Gu Ziyu came running towards them, wanting to run together with him.

The little girl chirped cheerfully and was very lively. She asked Gu Ziyu where he lived, which school he attended, and if they could be friends. She suggested meeting up for morning runs together.

Gu Ziyu coldly refused, saying, "No!"

"Why?" The little girl felt hurt by the rejection.

With a stern face, Gu Ziyu, at such a young age, had an expression that seemed to say, "No strangers allowed. I don't like making friends."

Just as Gu Ci finished running a lap and returned, she witnessed the situation.

The little girl's heart shattered, and Gu Ci realized that during the two hours they were out for a run, her son had rejected over a dozen children who wanted to play with him.

Gu Ci chuckled lightly and said, "Even though you possess the charm of a heartthrob, why do you insist on playing the role of a villain?"

Gu Ziyu coldly expressed that being a villain felt great. He could be unscrupulous and do whatever he wanted.

After returning home, Gu Ziyu took a shower, had breakfast, and went back to sleep. Lu Zhiyuan didn't come down for breakfast today. Gu Ci checked and found out that the college entrance exam results would be released in a week. With some spare time on her hands, she registered an account on a popular social media platform and posted some violin pieces she had recorded.

At noon, a breaking news notification popped up. It reported that Lu Shijie, the young master of the Lu Corporation, was suspected of tax evasion, sexual assault, and intentional harm. He had been taken into custody by the police for investigation.

The news sent shockwaves throughout the internet!

Lu Shijie's misdeeds were an open secret within the upper-class society, but on social media, his public image was impeccable. He was handsome, graduated from a prestigious university, came from the influential Lu Corporation, and was currently the CEO of the company. He seemed like a perfect winner in life, and he had attracted a large following online with his righteous and outspoken persona, fearlessly standing up against powerful authorities.

As soon as the news broke, the entire internet went into a frenzy.

"Lu Shijie has spoken out for abducted women multiple times. I refuse to believe he is capable of such things!"

"I don't believe it either. My husband is upright and just. Someone must be framing him."

"The waters run deep in these wealthy families. He must have been set up. Last year, Lu Young Master even donated to sixteen schools. He seemed harmless."

"I heard that he's going to join the Lu Corporation's board of directors next month. I have an immature speculation. Could it be the third young master's doing? Sibling rivalry and all that."

"Ah, get lost! Don't bring up Lu Zhiyuan. The third young master is a world champion and has never involved himself in family conflicts."

"I can't help but laugh. Lu Zhiyuan is the legitimate heir, while the other is just a bastard. How dare he try to get involved? Stay far away and don't get tainted, okay?"

"It might not necessarily be a family conflict. What about women? I heard that Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Chuyun grew up together, and Lu Shijie was engaged to Gu Chuyun before it was called off. And now he's been detained right after that. I can't believe it's not related to Lu Zhiyuan!"

"Gu Chuyun is a femme fatale. The two brothers fought over her!"

"Our Chuyun is so pure and lively. It's unbelievable. She even inherited Jiang Mingyue's violin talent. Such a perfect girl, it seems only Lu Zhiyuan is worthy of her."

Gu Ziyu looked at the online gossip with his young yet icy voice, "Tsk, bad luck!"

What did his father do wrong to be paired with Gu Chuyun? Isn't that an insult to his father?

In the era of the internet, Lu Zhiyuan, Gu Chuyun, and the news of Lu Shijie's arrest were trending topics, especially the one about Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Chuyun being childhood sweethearts who betrayed their brother for love.

In a fit of anger, Gu Ziyu managed to bring down the world's largest social network. For a full ten minutes, the entire social network was inaccessible and couldn't be refreshed.

All the programmers were baffled.

What was happening?

Everything was fine, so why was there a hacker attack? In this entertainment-driven era, it couldn't be possible!

Gu Ci leaned against the doorway and chuckled lightly, "Baby, we have freedom of speech. We live in a democratic society. Don't shut others down." 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"We live in a feudal society," Gu Ziyu replied expressionlessly, his young face filled with displeasure. Gu Ci chuckled, and Gu Ziyu's eyes brightened. His mother rarely laughed, so he would endure for the sake of eliciting another smile from her.

Gu Ziyu moved his finger and unblocked the social platform.

The programmers at Doufu looked bewildered. "There was just a bug... right?"

Gu Ziyu's tone turned sinister. "Dad did a great job. I hope the charges can be substantiated."

"Not necessarily!" Gu Ci said softly. "Your father has always stayed out of internal family conflicts, wholeheartedly focusing on racing. He has a high opinion of himself and disdains getting involved in the fight against Lu Shijie. Whatever Lu Shijie did, Lu Ze has always managed to settle it. He couldn't find any evidence, so this time he was taken away, probably just as a warning to Lu Shijie."

If Lu Zhiyuan didn't inherit the Lu family, Lu Ze wouldn't give up on Lu Shijie.

While the news of Lu Shijie being taken into custody for investigation was initially explosive, it unexpectedly took a backseat to the news of Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Chuyun's engagement. Furthermore, reporters leaked that on the day Lu Zhiyuan won his third championship title, he declined the award ceremony in order to be with Gu Chuyun.

Suddenly, the love triangle involving Lu Zhiyuan, Gu Chuyun, and Lu Shijie became the subject of gossip and speculation. Rumors even spread about the two brothers fighting over Gu Chuyun.

Surprisingly, Gu Chuyun had become the modern-day princess, and the trending topics were filled with envy for her status as a winner in life, being pursued by the exceptional brothers of the Lu family.

"Such bad luck!" Gu Ziyu, with an expressionless face, began to remove the trending topics. Although he didn't want Gu Ci's attention to be occupied by Lu Zhiyuan, his feelings towards Lu Zhiyuan were complex, filled with jealousy, envy, and a hint of hostility.

However, Lu Zhiyuan was someone his mother liked.

Anyone who tried to take away something his mother liked deserved to be damned!
