To Gu Yu, Xu Weilai was an accident through and through. That would be Xu Shuai's opinion if he was in the position to comment.
Gu Yu and Xu Weilai's engagement was agreed upon by Mr. Gu Sr. and Mr. Xu Sr. During Mr. Xu Sr.'s generation, the Xu family was still quite wealthy. They weren't as powerful or wealthy as the Gu family but they didn't lag behind by too much. They were equal in social status.
However, Mr. Xu Sr. passed away early and Mr. Xu took over the business. He had a huge ambition but his ability was lacking. Within the short span of a few years, the Xu Corporation kept expanding. It looked glorious on the surface but in fact, all kinds of problems had appeared internally.
Ever since Gu Yu's parents passed away, Mr. Xu had doubts about the Gu Corporation. He once suggested breaking the engagement but Mr. Gu. Sr disagreed.
