One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

It was late into the night. The wind was chilling to the bone.

They agreed to meet at the Imperial Private Chamber.

The Imperial Private Chamber was located within the luxurious Longchuan Manor. The scenery there was spectacular. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was a precious place for peace and relaxation.

A few hundred years ago, most of the nobility resided in these acres of land. As a mafia family with a legacy of over ten decades, if one traced back their ancestry, it would be found that they were people with blue blood.

With the progression of time, this land was now the most unattainable place for those living in the capital. Nonetheless, on this land, where every inch was worth gold, with formidable influence, the historic Gu residence dominated a sizable plot.

The Gu was the most powerful family in the underworld and the top of the three most influential families in the capital. Even now, after hundred years of vicissitudes, it still dominated the underworld, its reputation reaching far and wide.

The glorious Gu family, which was an existence that commanded half of the entire underworld and generated fear in other powerful families, once went through a period of chaos.

About 15 years ago, there was an internal conflict within the Gu family. Vying for the position as the family head, members of different branches fought until they were battered and bruised, and all sustained heavy losses. Thus, for a period of time, the family was on the decline; its influence greatly weakened, and its status hit rock bottom.

Because of this, for exactly a decade, the Gu family had been in tatters.

Those with the Gu blood running in their veins were significantly reduced; earlier in the days when the status of the Gu was still unstable, Gu Liancheng, the previous family head, had two of his children assassinated.

Later, he kept having children, and now, other than the eldest, Gu Jinglian, he had another son outside. This child was Gu Xingze.

This son was born out of wedlock. In other words, Gu Xingze was his illegitimate child.

Gu Jinglian was born from Gu Liancheng’s legal wife, so he was the legitimate successor of the Gu family. However, his younger self was, aside from being arrogant, wild and rebellious. He thought himself to be a world above others – truly a classic second generation rich kid.

Despite being younger than Gu Jinglian by three years, Gu Xingze was doted on by their father the most. Alas, in the hundred-year history of the Gu family, there was never a case of an illegitimate child becoming the family head.

Even if his father wanted to support him, the family elders would certainly oppose it.

To a hundred-year-old mafia with noble lineage, legitimacy was especially emphasized.

A b*stard child would always be that: an absolutely shameful existence.

With solemn eyes, Gu Xingze glanced at the passing scenery outside from within the speeding vehicle.

His status was always something shameful.

He had never once taken a step into the Gu residence with a legitimate identity before.

Years ago, at the age of seven, his father passed away.

Gu Jinglian called for him and provided him a bank card and a plane ticket to a foreign country.

This was the brothers’ first meeting and, apparently, their farewell as well.

Back then, Gu Jinglian was already the de facto leader of the Gu family. He naturally did not allow for the existence of any threats.

His elder brother stood in the study room and told him clearly and precisely, “You don’t have be so studious. You are ‘studying abroad’, so you don’t have to be too hardworking. As the b*stard kid of the family, you don’t need to pursue any dreams. Just enjoy your life while you can and play to your heart’s content. After all, I will provide you with limitless wealth in your entire life.”

That egoistical appearance of his was filled with mockery.

“I would have gotten rid of you, but dad had left behind a will. I’m sending you overseas as my last act of kindness for his sake. However, do remember one thing: the position of the family head will eventually be mine.”

His words were apathetic and explicit.

If it were not for the will his father had left behind, his elder brother would definitely not allow his existence.

Going overseas was just another way for him to seek temporary peace and for his elder brother to be rid of him.

…

It was only when he made his debut a decade ago that he was pardoned, and he was once again permitted to step foot into the country.

Gu Jinglian’s position and powers were already stabilized then, so he needed not be concerned about him anymore, and even more so, he needed not be afraid of him coming back to snatch away what belonged to him.
