The silly girl became a wealthy wife

Derek Gu didn't call her "sister" very often, usually just calling her "Little Nine" or "Nine."

He had a sturdy, robust appearance. His height of 186 cm and weight of 150 kg didn't make him look fat at all. Standing next to him, Sophia Gu looked as petite as a nestled bird. Ten out of ten people, if they were born of the same mother, would definitely mistake Derek Gu for the older brother and Sophia for the younger sister.

She would pout coquettishly, pinching Derek Gu's cheeks and gently pulling them sideways. "You must have robbed me of all my nutrients!"

And in fact, Sophia Gu weighed just over four pounds when she was born, while Derek Gu weighed nearly six pounds.

Sophia Gu had been well-behaved from birth, rarely crying or making a fuss. Derek Gu, on the other hand, was the opposite. He was very fussy, with a loud cry and a face like a dough-shaped doll, making anyone's heart ache. At school, he was a little bully and extremely mischievous.

Perhaps it's true that the child who cries and rolls around gets the candy.

The eyes of the Gu Family, the elders, and the sisters, were all on Derek Gu. Few noticed her. Even in kindergarten, when the teacher praised her for her intelligence and ability, no matter how hard she tried, she remained invisible, unnoticed.

Despite their distinct personalities, the eight older sisters were all gifted. Good grades were her due, and poor ones... no one scolded her, only ridicule and frequent bullying from her sisters.

Even with good grades, no one paid attention. Teachers often praised her for her intelligence. With her quick wit, she could grasp a simple instruction in class and apply it to other situations. She was bold and fearless, even playing games in the teacher's office. When caught, she would smile at you, her smile tinged with anxiety and stubbornness, making her particularly endearing.

Her parents were busy with work and only came home a few times a year. In Sophia Gu's memory, her parents were vague, if not nonexistent.

Derek Gu was different. Wherever he went, his parents always took him with them, loving him like their own precious child.

The most profound memory for Sophia Gu occurred when they were six years old. It seemed like it was time for them to start studying, but Old Man Gu forbade his parents from taking Derek Gu out again, forcing them to reluctantly separate. Later, when his mother returned, her eyes welled up when she saw Derek Gu. She hugged him tightly, rubbing him like she was her flesh and blood, and showered him with kisses.

At that time, she stood quietly by, watching in bewilderment, a look of envy and bewilderment on her face.

As a child, she had always believed she had no parents. Her sisters told her she was adopted, and though heartbroken, she never doubted it.

She had no idea that the man and woman were actually her parents. She even wondered why everyone else had parents, but she didn't.

Derek Gu caressed her beautiful eyebrows with a caressing look. He still remembered the year when the uncles scolded her for not calling for help when she saw her parents. He was held by his mother, looking up at his sister, whose eyes were wide and bright. [Jiujiu Novels TXT99.CC Free TXT Mobile E-book Download] Those dark, bright eyes, as if splashed with ink, were pitch black, black without a limit.

She tilted her head and looked intently at her mother and her serious father, her long, straight eyelashes fluttering twice. Her voice was as clear and crisp as bamboo shoots pulled out of a bamboo shoot after a spring rain: "They are not my parents. I don't have any parents!"

"Asshole!" He remembered that his grandfather was furious, and so were his father and mother, who slapped her hard.

Derek Gu felt a slight pain on his face. Five shocking red handprints suddenly appeared on her fair, tender face.

Her eyes were red, and her clear, inky black pupils were misty, flickering faintly without leaving her eyes. She looked at them with aggrieved confusion, her voice booming, "If they were my parents, why would they only take Derek Gu out to play and not me?"

Golden light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filtering through the off-white floral curtains and shimmering onto Sophia Gu's delicate, moist skin. She buried her head in the soft blankets, rubbing them gently. A soft moan escaped her lips, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, a hint of sleepiness in them.

She rose, curling up like a restless baby, her limbs curled up in her center. Her movements were as slow and leisurely as a tortoise basking on a spring day, indescribably lazy and leisurely.

After rising, she didn't immediately go to the bathroom to wash. Instead, she cradled the soft blanket, her hands resting on her lap. Her expression was as pure as a baby's, her eyes half-lidded, her rosy lips slightly pouting. She sat there for about five minutes before slowly lifting the blankets, half-closing her eyes, and scrambling out of bed barefoot.

Her long, smooth legs seemed transparent in the morning sunlight, her delicate, jade-like feet treading the light brown floor as she slowly and leisurely strolled into the bathroom.

The sound of running water echoed, and she emerged freshly groomed. After applying some skincare, she shed her robe, slipped into simple, comfortable casual clothes, and went downstairs.

As she descended, she happened to see Vivian, dressed stylishly and competently, leaving with her bag, without so much as a glance.

Breakfast was over, and she was the only one left at the table.

Derek Gu had also left for the company early.

He was destined to inherit The Gu Family, and had joined the company early to gain experience.

After the servants brought breakfast, she ate a simple meal and headed out, her bag on her shoulder.

It was past the morning rush hour, and the bus was not crowded. It passed through the bustling city center and stopped in front of a towering office building. She pondered over an excuse for being late.
