Chapter 26 - 009 His Past_3
Su Wan just listened quietly like this. Such a glamorous identity is not something one can easily obtain; a minute on stage requires ten years of hard work off stage. It’s just that Fu Weiheng’s effort and dedication were beyond her imagination—she wasn’t even one-tenth of him.
"When my parents sent him to learn the violin, they hoped it could ease his mood and cultivate his interests and skills. But unexpectedly, it became the source of his heavy pressure. He was really crazy, that persistent and unyielding nature—who knows who he inherited it from. Four years ago, at the last stop of the orchestra’s tour, in London." Fu Weijin tilted his head slightly, looking serious. "Do you know what happened that day at the London Grand Theater?"
Su Wan was slightly stunned.
Fu Weijin choked up slightly: "At the end of the performance, Neil, exhausted, missed his step as he was exiting the stage and fell. Later, he was taken to the hospital, and the doctor said sleep deprivation led to physical weakness, and hitting the back of his head caused a mild concussion."
Su Wan was shocked, her heart filled with a sour feeling, unable to speak for a while.
"Neil recuperated in the hospital for a whole month, and Grandfather rushed from the United States to London upon hearing the news. Later, citing health reasons, Grandfather forcefully demanded that Neil take over the Endless Group as the heir. Once Grandfather spoke, even if Neil had a million reasons not to, he wouldn’t disobey. Actually, we all know Grandfather wanted Neil to change his lifestyle. Four years have passed, and Neil indeed no longer puts as much pressure on himself as before, but in his heart, he might still have some things he can’t let go of; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort on H&Y in these four years." At the red light, Fu Weijin slowly stopped the car. "Wanwan, telling you so much is not to make you sympathize with him or feel sorry for him; it’s to let you know that, for someone as proud and persistent as him, paying so much attention to you means that, in his heart, you are special."
Su Wan was silent.
The traffic light turned green, Fu Weijin shifted gears, and drove back onto the road, "Wanwan, even if there’s nothing more, I’m happy that Neil has made a friend like you because he indeed has changed a lot during this time."
