It took my father four years to tell me
It had been more than ten years, and the person here was not Gong Ou. It was impossible to recognize Gong Yu with a single movement, a single figure, and even a single voice.The warm sunlight fell on the whole castle. There were many strange flowers and plants, and there was someone taking care of them. From afar, the sound of horses could be heard.
Shi Xiaonian turned to look at Gong Ou, who was walking beside her, with a handsome face that was so cold that it would cause people to be afraid, staring straight ahead.He did not take her hand.
Shi Xiaonian's heart sank. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't, so she could only silently lead them forward.
In front of Gong Jue's study, Charles was waiting there with the key in his hand. He had only received Shi Xiaonian's call saying that everything was possible, and thought that it must be Shi Xiaonian who persuaded him to do so.
Seeing them coming over, Charles did not recognize Gong Yu, and only respectfully lowered his head, saying, "Second Young Master, no matter what, please consider it more for Madam."
The Madam thought that Gong Ou was innately rebellious and refused to properly manage the Gong Jia even after knowing that he was dead. With Shi Xiaonian's help, things should be much easier."Open the door."
Gong Ou walked forward, his voice ice-cold like frost.
"Yes, Second Young Master." Charles glanced at Shi Xiaonian, then stepped forward and opened the door to the study, inviting them in.
Gong Yu followed him in, and Charles immediately reached out to stop him. Shi Xiaonian looked at Charles, "Let him in."
"Young Madam, although I'm not against you telling this to Second Young Master." Charles frowned, "You should understand that there are not many people who are suited to know about this matter unless we come up with a solution that is absolutely correct."
Shi Xiaonian was actually letting others know about it.It shouldn't be a bad thing.
"Let them in!"
Gong Ou's voice carried an indescribable chill."…"
Charles looked at Gong Yu with surprise, but he still could not recognize him. He only felt that it was strange, since it was not good for him to say anything when Gong Ou said it, he could only regret and discuss it with Shi Xiaonian.
The less people knew about such secretive matters, the better. Once they failed, the Lady would be destroyed.
Charles walked inside and took down the books on the bookshelves, extended his hand and twisted, causing the bookshelves to slowly open up like a door in front of them.
A wave of ice-cold chilliness assaulted his senses.
Gong Ou and Gong Yu walked inside with large strides. Gong Ou bumped into Shi Xiaonian's body, and when she looked up and saw Gong Ou's gloomy face, he felt really bad.
Gong Ou and Gong Yu walked to the other side of the door. There were flowers all over the floor, and a few white candles were burning in front of the heavy cross relief sculptures.
The moment Gong Ou walked over, he saw the specially crafted heavy coffin was glowing, his breathing became sluggish for a moment, his long legs became stiff and he walked over to the coffin.
He was dressed in a priceless suit, a coat, a stiff tie, and a watch on his wrist. The time on the watch had stopped, and he still had his wedding ring on his ring finger. His face was a mixture of blood and ice, and his eyes were closed and his face was white.
It was Gong Jue.A father who had once severely criticized the two of them for faking his death, a father who had gone away, had truly passed away.
The room was cold and oppressive, not a sound could be heard. Only the flickering light of the white candle could be seen.
Shi Xiaonian stood by the side of the door, her clear black and white eyes looked towards Gong Ou, his lips pursed tightly, and her hands by his side tightened.
Gong Ou stood there and lowered his eyes to look at Gong Jue who was lying inside the ice coffin."Bam."
Gong Yu suddenly knelt in front of the coffin, both of his knees emitted a deep sound, his hands folded on the coffin, and his head leaned on the coffin.
"…"
Charles looked at Gong Yu in shock. Why did he have to kneel?
Gong Ou stood there, his gaze sweeping past the coffin, reaching out his hand and pressing a button. The glass coffin's lid automatically moved backwards, and he bent down to look at the watch on Gong Jue's hand, "Is this the time my father passed away?"
The time on the watch had stopped.
"Yes." Charles nodded, "It was Madam who stopped pressing her watch."
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at the time. This time, it was a long, ancient style and there was even time of the year on it. He looked at the time and suddenly laughed sarcastically as he closed the coffin.
Gradually, Shi Xiaonian saw her eyes turn red.In the next second, he glared at Charles and walked over to grab his collar as he roared hysterically, "Four years! My father's been dead four years before he told me? Who gave you the guts! "
The fire in Gong Ou's body was ignited, his eyes stared straight at him, he wanted to tear Charles apart.
No one could stand such a concealment."This is the joint decision of Master and Madam, I, as a butler, am unable to say anything." Charles did not dare to retaliate, and was directly pressed onto the coffin by Gong Ou. Looking at Gong Jue who was in the coffin, Charles could not help but say, "When the Old Master died, Second Young Master and his family made the most trouble. After that, when Second Young Master disappeared for four years, there was nothing he could do about it."
If they didn't do this, what hope did the two lost Gong Jia have?
"A joint decision? What a great decision! " Gong Ou pressed Charles onto the coffin, his black eyes staring straight at, "The decision was to freeze my father's corpse for four years?"
Gong Ou held onto Charles's neck tightly, preventing him from moving.
"Gong Ou, you don't have to act like this." Shi Xiaonian went forward to pull Gong Ou, and Gong Ou fiercely glanced at her. That gaze made Shi Xiaonian's heart turn cold, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Gong Ou." Gong Yu knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Gong Ou, his voice calm, "Father, don't be so presumptuous, come over."Hearing Gong Yu's voice, Gong Ou pushed Charles away fiercely. Then, he walked to Gong Yu's side, bent his knees, and knelt down in front of the coffin.
"…"Father?
Charles looked at Gong Yu in shock.
Shi Xiaonian quietly looked at the two of them. She had heard Feng De say before that when they left the world, they must have their own children by their side to see them off.She didn't know if Gong Jue was waiting for this moment, but it was obvious that this moment was four years late.
Gong Yu and Gong Ou knelt in front of the coffin for a long time before they stood up.
The two of them walked out of the study room. Gong Ou asked coldly, "Where is Mother?"
"Madame is downstairs in the official room looking through the documents."
Charles lowered his head and said.
Gong Ou walked down the stairs in large strides. Shi Xiaonian looked at his back, lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. Gong Ou, who had always liked walking with her in his arms, did not even touch her once.
Shi Xiaonian's gaze dimmed. After that, she walked forward, and was still by Gong Ou's side.The door to the official room was immediately pushed open by Gong Ou.
Luo Qi sat neatly at her desk, her hands flipping through a file covered with cow skin. His long hair was hanging down, she wasn't tidying it up, and she didn't put on any makeup.
Ever since his argument with Gong Ou on the day of the wedding, Luo Qi had not taken proper care of himself.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Luo Qi raised her head and looked at Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian, then said, "It's you two. Come in, Gong Ou.
Shi Xiaonian followed Gong Ou and slowly walked in. Gong Yu followed behind them, but was not noticed by Luo Qi.
Luo Qi flipped through the information in her hands, and said with furrowed brows, "Today, I felt my body a little better, so I came down to take a look at the internal affairs that you have helped me with. In the end, I realized that you weren't working hard at all."
"…"Gong Ou walked to the front of Luo Qi's desk and stood there. A pair of slightly red eyes stared deeply at Luo Qi.
"If I let you help me manage some of my internal affairs, wouldn't you be more perfunctory? In the future, when I let you take over the Gong Jia, wouldn't you be more perfunctory?" Luo Qi said as he flipped through the documents, "Before your father left for Switzerland yesterday, he told me that if he wasn't busy with other things, he would definitely personally scold you. At that time, what would happen if his ear was torn apart again?"
The large internal affairs office was quiet, only Luo Qi's voice could be heard.
It was as if she was performing a one-man show, and the main character was herself, believing that she had deceived the audience.
"He's always been a heavy hand."
Gong Ou said in a low voice."You dared to be so perfunctory even when you knew he was being heavy-handed. Fortunately, I haven't shown him these internal affairs, or else even I would have been reprimanded by him." Luo Qi said as she sighed, "Back then when you went out to establish the N. E., your father was very proud of you, but you did not just focus on the outside. You treated our family's internal affairs like this, how could I let your father be at ease and hand over the Gong Jia to you?"
Gong Ou stood there, and upon hearing Luo Qi's words, he slightly raised his face. His eyes flashed twice, and his hand that was by his side clenched into a fist.Seeing Gong Ou like this, Shi Xiaonian wanted to pacify him, but she didn't know where to go to do so.
"Oh right, before your father left Switzerland, he wanted you to try taking over the management of the Gong Jia. You can stay and take care of it."Luo Qi said, and added, "This was instructed by your father, you know that he is a man who does not care when his words are spoken, and it wasn't easy for him to agree to your marriage, so stop messing around."
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Qi, who was sitting there.
"Did you hear what I said? You and your father are going to have a quarrel. "Luo Qi said as if nothing had happened.
"Aren't you tired of playing two roles by yourself?" Gong Ou suddenly said.
"…"
Hearing that, Luo Qi's body froze, she raised her head and looked at Gong Ou in a daze.
Gong Ou took a step forward, his hands pressing on the desk, he bent down and stared at Luo Qi with his reddened eyes, "Previously, when I came back, I called father and discussed a lot of things with him, and you already know about all of this, you want to use your father's role to reprimand me, and you want to use your mother's role to miss me, aren't you tired?"
Only now did Gong Ou understand that the person he had been dealing with all these years was Luo Qi.
Immersed in these two characters, could she tell the difference?
