Ever since Gu Erhao made up his mind to be with Lu Youyou, he developed a huge rift with his mom during his college years.
At first, his mother tried to stop supporting him financially to force him into breaking up with Lu Youyou.
Initially, Gu Erhao thought of sweet-talking his mother during the holidays, but after his allowance was cut off, he sulked and decided to play hardball with her.
If Gu Erhao really reached a point where he had no money, he might have gone back to his mother.
However, he happened to take Lu Youyou's advice and invested money in Huo Feng's game.
Indeed, listening to his wife paid off. In the following years, the dividends from Huo Feng's game were enough to support both him and Lu Youyou.
Besides, Lu Youyou didn't need his support; she had her own small shop and also received dividends from the game, earning much more than Gu Erhao himself.
