Hearing his questioning tone, Shi Xiaonian hugged her pillow tightly and looked at his furious face, "Are you angry that I didn't tell you immediately, or angry that I stopped Gong Yu?"
"Is there any difference?" Gong Ou stared at her and said, his voice becoming heavier, "This is a matter of the Gong Jia, shouldn't I make the decision? "Why are you doing so much?"
Why do so much.
Yeah, she did so much, she was nosy.
She tried her best to hold it in as she said, "Charles said that mother's situation isn't too good, and that someone has to take responsibility for everything regarding the Gong Jia, so she can be at ease. I don't want that person to be you.
She couldn't think of a better way.
She admitted that she was being selfish, but if she had to choose again, she would do the same.
"Destined?" Gong Ou repeated her words, and then let out a cold laugh, "Shi Xiaonian, you think you're perfect just because you did that?"
"…"
Shi Xiaonian bit her lips.
"Shi Xiaonian, am I not enough for you to trust me? Why didn't you be the first to tell me such a big thing? " Gong Ou stared at her.
Shi Xiaonian blinked twice, moisture appearing on her eyelashes. "If I were to tell you, you wouldn't let your brother stay."
She knew this too well.
Gong Ou had deep feelings, respect, and hate for Gong Yu, but in the end, he was still willing to let his brother live a carefree life.
"So you forced my brother to stay?"
Gong Ou immediately stood up from the bed, his bare feet stepping on the soft blanket as he glared at her.
"I didn't force it."
Shi Xiaonian said softly, Gong Yu was willing to follow her, if he really wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"He feels too much guilt towards me. If you say so, will he come back?" Gong Ou glared at her, gritting his teeth, his anger building up, "Shi Xiaonian, why do you love to make your own decisions? I don't need you to be like this for my own good! "
he shouted.
"…"When Shi Xiaonian heard this, she couldn't take it anymore. She put the pillow on the ground and ran into the bathroom, closing the door tightly and locking it shut. She stood in front of the washbasin with her head lowered, letting the tears fall as her hands trembled.
Actually, when she made this decision, Shi Xiaonian had expected that she would be blamed, but she never expected that he would be so angry.
"Bang bang."The bathroom door was slammed a few times.
"Open the door!"Gong Ou shouted unhappily from outside.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't tell if she was feeling wronged or guilty, but she felt incredibly sad. She lowered her head and cried while clenching her teeth tightly on her lips.
Tears did not run down his cheeks, but fell directly into the sink.
"Hey, come out, what are you doing hiding inside!" Gong Ou said loudly, "I only said a few words and you lock yourself up, what do you mean by that?""…"
Shi Xiaonian closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing her tears. She used a towel to wipe his eyes, then stepped forward and opened the door.
Gong Ou stood nervously at the door, staring at her with his eyes. When he saw that there were no tears on her face, the nervousness in her eyes subsided, and he turned her face away, "I thought you were crying.
"What would you do if you were me?"
Shi Xiaonian stood there and asked, her voice somewhat choked.
If Gong Ou stood in her position, what would Gong Ou do? Could it be that he wouldn't look after her first?"Naturally, we listen to men!" Gong Ou stared straight at her, pointing at her with his finger, "Shi Xiaonian, you still don't know where your fault lies!"
With that, Gong Ou turned and left. He did not even bother to put on his shoes and left barefooted.
"…"Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at his resolute back. She bit her lips hard and bit down hard, tears still flowing down her face.
Gong Ou said that she still did not know where he was at, and very quickly, Shi Xiaonian found out.
Gong Yu's return allowed his to reexpand his happiness, and allowed his to see hope.At night, the family sat together for a rare meal. Luo Qi sat at the main seat, and Shi Xiaonian sat beside the two children.
Gong Ou's expression had not changed since the moment he had Gong Yu stay behind.
As for Gong Yu, Shi Xiaonian had never known him to be a man who was good at talking and laughing with others. Previously, she had only felt that he had a kind of gentle temperament, but it was also a little gloomy as she had never heard him speak so much.
Luo Qi could not stop smiling at what Gong Yu was saying, she turned to look at the two children who had a puzzled look on their faces, "This is your father's older brother, called Uncard.""Uncard."
Gong Kui sat there and called out sweetly, while Gong Yao looked at him with a bit of surprise."Good boy." Gong Yu smiled and replied, "Solanum nigrum is so cute, I have a present for you. I'll get the maid to give it to you later."
Hearing that there was a gift, Gong Kui's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Uncard!"Shi Xiaonian's sweet voice made everyone smile a little more. Shi Xiaonian did not laugh, she only looked at Gong Ou who was sitting opposite of him, eating dinner with a cold expression, and did not say a single word.
Gong Yu looked at Gong Yao's small face that was still covered in gauze, "What about you, Holy?"
"You're the one who kidnapped us."
Gong Yao's face was cold, his young voice was ice-cold.
"What kidnapping?"Gong Kui looked at her brother with a baffled expression.
"…" Hearing this, Gong Yu smiled awkwardly, "Your eyes are quite vicious, don't try to imitate your father. A little child shouldn't have so many things in his head, you can just play with them."
Hearing that, Gong Kui's eyes immediately opened wide and gave him a thumbs up, "Uncard, I like you!""…"
Gong Yao looked at his own sister coldly. His stupid sister really couldn't differentiate anything between the two of them, so Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and whispered into Gong Yao's ears, "That time, he was only joking with you guys, he had no ill intentions."
Hearing Shi Xiaonian's words, Gong Yao nodded reluctantly and began to eat.
"How come you've already seen two children?" Luo Qi asked Gong Yu curiously.
"Yes, I saw it when I was in S City. Solanum nigrum has a lively and pure personality, Holy is cool and smart, a bit like Gong Ou, but he's not like how he would when Gong Ou was young." Gong Yu said. Gong Ou had always been the only one who held himself back, he was stubborn and unconvinced. No one could hold him back."That's true." Luo Qi nodded, looked at Gong Ou, and said, "Previously, only you were able to make him listen in."
After that, it was Shi Xiaonian's turn.
Only Shi Xiaonian heard the words of the others, so she did not take the rest of the people's words to heart.Gong Ou still sat there eating with a dark face as if the topic of their discussion wasn't him at all. He didn't have the slightest bit of appetite as he sat there.
"I've just combed through the internal affairs of the Gong Jia, there's nothing too difficult about it." Gong Yu put down the tableware in his hands and said, "I have already asked Charles to do it, the news of me still being alive will be released tonight. I might need to run over a few more times in the next few days to verify my identity."
"You really don't need to rest?" Luo Qi asked.
"Mother, I told you, I've already rested for a long time, it's time for me to take some responsibility for my family." Gong Yu said, "Once the matter regarding Father is exposed, it will definitely deeply affect our Gong Jia, so before that, I still have to contact all the parties concerned and consolidate my position. At least, when that day comes, no one will try to mess with me in private. "
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked at Gong Yu. He spoke a lot, as if she had a lot of plans for the future of the Gong Jia, but he had never thought about returning to the Gong Jia at all.Was Gong Yu pretending?
Luo Qi looked at Gong Yu, and was very pleased, "You've grown a lot after your trip out. If your father saw you, he would definitely be very happy."
"Father has always been afraid that I would not be able to support Gong Jia."
Gong Yu said.
"That was because you were too young in the past, but now that you have grown up, the two brothers will take care of each other, and the Gong Jia will get better and better." Luo Qi said with a smile, as she reached out and grabbed Gong Yu's hand again.Finally, there was some light in this gloomy life.
told him about the current aristocratic circle. He also described to him which ones he should befriend and which ones he would get the wrong benefits from.
"I'm full!"Gong Ou suddenly stood up, threw the knife and fork in his hand onto the plate, and turned around with a cold face.
Seeing his actions, Luo Qi frowned in dissatisfaction. "Gong Ou, what are you doing?With that, Luo Qi sat there stiffly, his face pale white. She realized that he had said something else wrong.
Even if the truth had been completely exposed, Luo Qi would still subconsciously say such words, as if Gong Jue was still alive. Perhaps, deep in her heart, he still had not completely untied the knot in her heart.When she said that, Gong Ou, Gong Yu, and Shi Xiaonian all looked at her, and Luo Qi's expression became even more unsightly.
"…"Gong Ou looked at Luo Qi deeply, then turned and left.
Luo Qi called out to him, "Gong Ou, I'll send someone to get you later. We'll go accompany your father tonight.""I want to go with grandpa as well!"
Gong Kui immediately raised her hand up high, she did not know that her grandfather who she had met since she was young was only a substitute.
"You don't need to go." Luo Qi's words were directed at Gong Kui, but her gaze landed on Shi Xiaonian, "I want my two sons to accompany my husband well."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian tactfully understood the meaning of her words.She couldn't bother them.
After dinner, Gong Ou and Gong Yu were called to the study room to mourn the death of their father.
No one can be very sympathetic.
Shi Xiaonian was in the bathroom washing the bath by herself. Warm water dripped from her seaweed like hair and slid down her fair skin. She raised her head, allowing the water to wash off her face.
She crouched on the ground, letting the water wash over her, her hands tightly wrapped around herself.
