For more than ten years, the people here are not Gong Ou, and they cannot recognize Gong Yu with just one action, figure, or voice.
The sun shines warmly on the entire castle. There are many exotic flowers and plants, all of which are taken care of by dedicated personnel. The sound of horses can be heard in the distance.
Shi Xiaonian turned to look at Gong Ou, who was walking beside her, with a handsome face without any expression, so cold that it was scary, and a pair of black eyes staring straight ahead.
He didn't hold her hand.
Shi Xiaonian's heart sank. She couldn't say what she wanted to say, so she could only lead them forward silently.
In front of Gong Jue's study, Charles was waiting there with the key. He only received a call from Shi Xiaonian saying that everything might get better. He thought it must be Shi Xiaonian who persuaded Gong Ou.
Seeing them coming, Charles did not recognize Gong Yu, but bowed his head respectfully and said, "Second Young Master, no matter what, please think more about Madam."
Madam believes that Gong Ou is rebellious by nature and refuses to manage the Gong family well even after knowing that Gong Jue has passed away. Sometimes Xiao Nian's help should be much easier.
"Open the door."
Gong Ou walked forward, his voice as cold as frost.
"Yes, Second Young Master." Charles glanced at Shi Xiaonian, stepped forward, opened the door to the study, and invited them in.
Gong Yu walked in, and Charles quickly reached out to stop him. Shi Xiaonian looked at Charles and said, "Let him in."
"Young Madam, although I have no objection to you telling the Second Young Master about this matter." Charles frowned, "You should understand that it is not suitable for too many people to know about this matter without a complete solution."
Shi Xiaonian actually let outsiders know.
It can't be a bad thing.
"Let them in!"
Gong Ou's voice was filled with an indescribable chill.
“…”
Charles looked at Gong Yu with some surprise. He still didn't recognize him for a while. He just felt strange that Gong Yu had spoken. He couldn't say anything. He only regretted discussing it with Shi Xiaonian.
The fewer people know about this kind of secret, the better. Once it becomes self-defeating, the wife will be ruined.
Charles walked inside, took down the books from the bookshelf, reached out and twisted the knob, and the bookshelf slowly opened in front of them like a door.
An icy chill hit my face.
Gong Ou and Gong Yu strode in. Gong Ou bumped into Shi Xiaonian's body. She raised her face and saw Gong Ou's gloomy face. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
When Gong Ou and Gong Yu walked into the other end of the partition door, there were flowers all over the floor, and a few white candles were lit in front of the heavy cross relief. The cold light filled the entire cold room.
As soon as Gong Ou walked over, he saw the specially built thick coffin glowing. His breathing stagnated for a moment, and his slender legs were a little stiff as he walked step by step to the side of the coffin.
There is a glass-like transparent coffin lid sealed above the coffin, and inside lies a figure that the two brothers are very familiar with. He is wearing a priceless suit, coat, straight tie, and a watch on his wrist. The time on the watch has already He stopped, still wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger, his mixed-race face was covered with white frost, his eyes were closed tightly, and his face was completely white.
It's the palace prince.
The father who once scolded the two brothers so harshly that one faked his death and the other walked away really passed away.
The room was cold, the atmosphere was depressing, there was no sound at all, only the light of the white candle was swaying gently.
Shi Xiaonian stood next to the partition door, looking at Gong Ou with a pair of black and white eyes, her lips pursed tightly, and the hands at her side clenched.
Gong Ou stood there, looking down at Gong Jue who was lying in the ice coffin. The look on his face was so deep that it was impossible to guess.
"boom."
Gong Yu suddenly knelt down in front of the coffin, making a dull sound on his knees, folded his hands and placed them on the coffin, leaning his head on it.
“…”
Charles looked at Gong Yu with some surprise, why was this man kneeling
Gong Ou stood there, looking past the coffin. He stretched out his hand and pressed a button. The glass coffin lid automatically moved back. He leaned over and turned the watch on Gong Jue's hand, "This is the time when my father died." ?”
The time on the watch has stopped running.
"Yes." Charles nodded, "Madam stopped the watch at that time."
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at the time. This model was from a long, long time ago. It was very old. There were years, months, and days on it. He looked at the time, and suddenly laughed sarcastically, and closed the coffin lid.
Gradually, Shi Xiaonian saw his eyes turn red.
The next second, he glared at Charles, walked over, grabbed Charles' collar, and yelled hysterically, "Four years! My father has been dead for four years and now you tell me? Who gave you the courage!"
The fire in Gong Ou's body was suddenly aroused, and he stared at him fiercely, wishing to tear Charles apart immediately.
No one can bear such concealment.
"This is a joint decision between the master and his wife. I, the butler, can't say anything." Charles did not dare to fight back. Gong Ou pressed him directly onto the coffin. Looking at the palace prince in the coffin, Charles couldn't help but said, "When the master passed away, , the second young master had the most violent quarrel with the family, and then the second young master disappeared and disappeared for four years, so it was helpless to come up with this solution. "
If not, what hope would the Gong family have after losing two sons
"Joint decision? What a joint decision!" Gong Ou pressed Charles on the coffin and stared at him with a pair of black eyes. "The decision is to freeze my father's body for four years?"
Gong Ou held down Charles' neck tightly, making Charles unable to move.
"Gong Ou, don't be like this." Shi Xiaonian stepped forward to pull Gong Ou. Gong Ou turned his eyes and gave her a stern glance. That look made Shi Xiaonian feel cold and subconsciously took a step back.
"Gong Ou." Gong Yu knelt on the ground and raised his face to look at Gong Ou, with a steady voice, "Don't be so presumptuous in front of father, come here."
Hearing Gong Yu's voice, Gong Ou pushed Charles hard, then walked to Gong Yu's side, bent his knees and knelt down in front of the coffin.
“…”
Father
Charles looked at Gong Yu in surprise, with confusion in his eyes.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the two of them quietly. She had heard Feng De say before that when you pass away, your children must be by your side to see you off, so that your life will appear complete.
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 standing up. Both of them knelt so that their legs were bent and they could not stand up straight.
The two walked out of the study, and Gong Ou said coldly, "Where is mother?"
"Madam is looking at documents in the office downstairs."
Charles lowered his head and said.
Gong Ou strode downstairs. Shi Xiaonian looked at his back and lowered his eyes at his hands. Gong Ou, who always liked to hug her when walking, didn't even touch her this time.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed, and then walked forward, still walking beside Gong Ou.
The door of the official office was pushed open directly by Gong Ou.
Luo Qi was sitting at his desk, rarely dressed neatly, flipping through a document with a leather cover in his hand, his long hair hanging down, unkempt, and no makeup on his face.
Since the quarrel with Gong Ou on the wedding day, Luo Qi has never taken good care of herself.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Luo Qi raised his head, glanced at Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian, and said, "It's you, come in, Gong Ou, I just have something to say to you."
Shi Xiaonian followed Gong Ou and walked in slowly. Gong Yu followed them without being noticed by Luo Qi.
Luo Qi flipped through the information in his hand, frowned and said, "I feel a little better today, so I came down to take a look at the housework you've been helping me handle these days. Only then did I realize that you didn't care at all."
“…”
Gong Ou walked to Luo Qi's desk and stood there, staring deeply at Luo Qi with a pair of slightly red eyes, tightening his thin lips and saying nothing.
"You were so perfunctory when I asked you to help me take care of my internal affairs. Wouldn't you be even more perfunctory when I asked you to take over the Gong family in the future?" Luo Qi said while flipping through the documents, "Your father told me yesterday before he went to Switzerland that if he hadn't You are busy with business, so he will definitely reprimand you personally, what will you do if your ears are torn again?"
The huge internal affairs room was quiet, and only Luo Qi's voice was heard.
It was like she was performing a one-man show, with herself as the protagonist, and she thought she had deceived the audience.
"He's always very aggressive."
Gong Ou said in a low voice.
"How dare you be so perfunctory even if you know he's serious about it. Fortunately, I haven't shown these internal affairs to him, otherwise I would have been scolded by him." Luo Qi said and sighed, "When you went out to create NE, your reputation was huge. , your father is very proud, but you don’t just care about the outside world and mess around with the internal affairs of the family, so how can your father trust you to leave the Gong family to you?"
Gong Ou stood there, raising his face slightly after listening to Luo Qi's words, his eyes flashed twice, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
When Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou like this, she wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to comfort him.
"By the way, before your father came to Switzerland, he asked you to try to take over the management of the Gong family for a while, so you can stay and manage it."
Luo Qi said, and then added, "This is your father's order. You also know that he is a man of his word. He finally agreed to your marriage, so please stop making trouble."
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Qi who was sitting there, his throat tightened and his chest felt stuffy as if something was blocking it.
"Did you hear what I said? I want to quarrel with you and your father."
Luo Qi said, still as if nothing had happened.
"Aren't you tired of playing two roles by yourself?" Gong Ou suddenly said.
“…”
Hearing this, Luo Qi froze, raised his face and looked at Gong Ou blankly.
Gong Ou took a step forward, put his hands on the desk, leaned down, and stared at Luo Qi with a pair of red eyes, "I called my father before when I came back and discussed many things with him. You all know that you have to scold me as a father and miss me as a mother, aren't you tired?"
Only now did Gong Ou realize that it was Luo Qi who he had been dealing with all these years.
Immersed in switching between two roles, can she distinguish clearly? (To be continued)
