Mr. Gu's Money-Grubbing Substitute Runs Off with His Cash

[Ruthless and heartless x innocent little fool]

Shen Yu was diagnosed with an intellectual disability at birth. Not long afterward, the Shen family sent him to live in the countryside with their housekeeper, and from then on claimed that his older brother was their only son.

Because Shen Yu and his twin brother had identical faces, the kidnappers who meant to abduct Shen Yu mistook the brother, who had come to visit him that day, for their target.

With the brother's fate unknown, the Shen family concealed the truth to preserve their marriage alliance with the Gu family. They brought Shen Yu home and had him take his brother's place as Gu Yingyi's bride.

What Shen Yu didn't know was that his brother had long been the one Gu Yingyi fell for at first sight, a cherished love he could never attain. Shen Yu was merely the mosquito-bite blood that had killed his brother.

“Why couldn't it have been you who died?”

“You don't deserve that face, the same as his. Looking at you disgusts me.”

“You're nothing but a plaything. Do as you like with him.”

Trembling, Shen Yu begged Gu Yingyi not to give him to anyone else. Gu Yingyi only lifted his chin with the tip of his leather shoe, his voice cruel. “Shen Yu, you owe him this.”

By the time Gu Yingyi learned the truth and was consumed with regret, the little fool who could spend an entire day happy over a single piece of candy was gone.

Later, everyone said the president of the Gu Group had gone mad searching for someone.

When he saw Shen Yu again, his little fool was dressed in rags and out of his mind, clutching a torn pillow beside a trash can as people beat him, mistaking him for a beggar stealing from the garbage.

Gu Yingyi's heart felt as if it were being torn apart. He rushed over and pulled Shen Yu into his arms, choking back sobs. “Yu Yu, don't be afraid. Let's go home.”
