At that time, many people had already caught wind of Gu Guotai's intention to hand over the Gu Family to his second son, so they went out of their way to win over Gu Chengsong.
Even though Gu Chengsong was married, women kept throwing themselves at him one after another. Among them were women who had once desperately tried to please Gu Chengqiao.
Gu Chengqiao turned overnight into an unattended castoff of the family. He was so broke, he was ridiculed for being unable to afford meals when dining out.
The stark contrast made him reflect on his behavior, prompting him to strive to reform and start fresh.
He stopped associating with frivolous women and began pursuing the only daughter of the Hou family with great determination.
Around this time, Gu Chengsong got into a car accident and was hospitalized for the better part of a year.
