Listening to his questioning tone, Shi Xiaonian hugged the pillow hard and raised her eyes to look at his furious face, "Are you angry that I didn't tell you right away, or are you angry that I stopped Gong Yu?"
"Is there any difference?" Gong Ou stared at her and said, his voice getting deeper and deeper, "This is a matter of the Gong family, should I make the decision? Why do you do so much?"
Why do so much
Yes, why is she doing so much, being nosy.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, her eyes were extremely sour, and she almost shed tears. She tried her best to hold on and said, "Charles said that her mother's condition is not very good. Someone must take care of everything in the Gong family to make her feel relieved. I don't want her to feel relieved." That person is you. Isn’t it destined that my brother will appear at this time?”
She couldn't think of a better way.
She admitted that she was selfish, but if she was given the choice again, she would do the same.
"Destined?" Gong Ou repeated her words, and then sneered, "Shi Xiaonian, do you think it's perfect if you do this?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip.
"Shi Xiaonian, am I not trustworthy enough for you? Why didn't you tell me such a big thing first?" Gong Ou glared at her.
Shi Xiaonian blinked twice, her eyelashes were wet, "If I told you, you wouldn't let your brother stay."
She knew this all too well.
Gong Ou had deep feelings for Gong Yu. He had respected and hated Gong Yu, but in the end he was willing to let his brother live his whole life.
"So you force my brother to stay?"
Gong Ou suddenly stood up from the bed, stepped on the soft quilt with his bare feet, and stared at her with his eyes.
"I didn't force it."
Shi Xiaonian whispered that it was Gong Yu who was willing to come back with her. If he really wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"He feels too guilty about me. If you say that, can he not come back?" Gong Ou glared at her, gritting his teeth and getting angry, "Shi Xiaonian, why do you like to make your own decisions so much? I I don’t need you to be nice to me like this!”
he shouted loudly.
“…”
When Shi Xiaonian heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore. She put her pillow down and stood up and ran to the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it with all her strength. She stood in front of the sink, lowered her head, let the tears fall, and pressed the hand on the bathroom sink. The hands on the stage were shaking.
In fact, when she made this decision, Shi Xiaonian expected that Gong Ou would blame her, but she didn't expect that he would be so angry.
"Bang bang."
The bathroom door was knocked hard several times.
"Open the door!"
Gong Ou shouted displeasedly outside.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't tell whether she felt aggrieved or blamed herself. She just felt terribly sad. She lowered her head and cried, biting her lip tightly with her teeth.
The tears fell directly into the sink without sliding down her cheeks.
"Hey, come out, what are you doing hiding in there!" Gong Ou said loudly, "I told you to lock yourself up with just a few words, what do you mean?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes, held back her tears, wiped her eyes with a towel, and stepped forward to open the door.
Gong Ou stood nervously at the door, staring at her with a pair of eyes. When he saw that there were no tears on her face, the tension in her eyes eased slightly, and she turned her face directly, "I thought you were crying. Since you didn't cry, just be fine." Think about where you went wrong!”
"What would you do if you were me?"
Shi Xiaonian stood there and asked, her voice choked.
If Gong Ou stood in her position, what would he do? Could he not take care of her first
"Of course you listen to men!" Gong Ou stared at her and pointed at her, "Shi Xiaonian, you still don't know where you went wrong!"
After saying that, Gong Ou turned around and left without even wearing shoes, so he left barefoot.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there, looking at his decisive back, biting her lips hard, tears still flowing down.
Gong Ou said that she still didn't know where she went wrong, but soon, Shi Xiaonian knew.
Gong Yu's return made Luo Qi regain her joy and see hope.
At night, it was rare for a family to sit down to eat together. Luo Qi sat at the head table, Shi Xiaonian sat next to the two children, and opposite them were Gong Yu and Gong Ou.
Gong Ou's face never looked good from the moment she left Gong Yu behind.
As for Gong Yu, Shi Xiaonian never knew that he was such a man who was good at talking and laughing. Before, he only thought that he had a gentle temperament, but he was also a bit gloomy. She had never heard him speak so many words.
Luo Qi smiled frequently when Gong Yu said this, and turned to look at the two children with doubts on their faces, "This is your father's brother, his name is Uncle."
"Uncle."
Gong Kui sat there and called out sweetly, while Gong Yao looked at him in surprise.
"Be good." Gong Yu responded with a smile, "Xiao Kui is so cute. Uncle has a gift. I will ask the maid to bring it to you later."
Gong Kui's eyes lit up when she heard there was a gift, "Thank you, Uncle!"
Gong Kui's sweet voice put a little more smile on everyone's face. Shi Xiaonian didn't smile and only looked at Gong Ou opposite. He sat there with a cold face and had dinner without saying a word.
Gong Yu looked at Gong Yao's little face that was still covered with gauze, "What about you, Holy?"
"You're the one who kidnapped us."
Gong Yao's face was cold, and his childish voice was full of coldness.
"What kidnapping?"
Gong Kui looked at her brother with a puzzled expression.
"..." Hearing this, Gong Yu smiled awkwardly, "Your eyes are quite poisonous. Don't imitate your father. A child doesn't need to hold so many things in his head. He can just play."
Hearing this, Gong Kui immediately opened her eyes and gave him a thumbs up, "Uncle, I like you!"
“…”
Gong Yao looked at his sister coldly. His stupid sister really couldn't distinguish anything. Shi Xiaonian lowered her head and whispered beside Gong Yao, "He was just joking with you that time, there was no harm."
After hearing what Shi Xiaonian said, Gong Yao reluctantly nodded and started eating.
"Why have you already seen two children?" Luo Qi looked at Gong Yu curiously and asked.
"Yes, I met her when I was in S city. Xiao Kui is lively and innocent, while Holy is calm and smart. They are a bit like Gong Ou, but not as noisy as Gong Ou when he was a child." Gong Yu said, Gong Ou has always been self-centered and stubborn. No one can hold a person who refuses to surrender.
"That's right." Luo Qi nodded, looked at Gong Ou, and said, "In the past, you were the only one who could listen to me."
Later, it was Shi Xiaonian.
Only Gong Ou could listen to what Shi Xiaonian said, and he didn't pay attention to what the others said.
Gong Ou still sat there eating with a sullen face, as if what they were talking about was not him at all, while Shi Xiaonian sat there with no appetite at all.
"I have just sorted out the internal affairs of the Gong family, and there is nothing particularly difficult." Gong Yu put down the tableware in his hands and said, "I have asked Charles to do it, and the news that I am still alive will be announced tonight. , I may need to run a few more times for identity authentication in the next few days.”
"You really don't need to rest?" Luo Qi asked.
"Mom, I told you, I have been resting for a long time, and it is time to take some responsibility for the family." Gong Yu said, "Once my father's affairs are exposed, it will have a profound impact on our Gong family. So before that, I have to contact all parties and consolidate my position first. At least, until that day comes, there won't be any scumbags who will mess around in private."
Shi Xiaonian raised his eyes and looked at Gong Yu. He talked a lot and seemed to have many ideas about the future of the Gong family, but he had never thought about returning to the Gong family before.
Is Gong Yu pretending to be like this
Luo Qi looked at Gong Yu and was very pleased, "You have grown a lot since you went out. Your father will be very happy to see you."
"Father has always been afraid that I won't be able to support the Gong family."
Gong Yu said.
"That's because you were too young before, but now that you have grown up, the two brothers will take care of each other, and the Gong family will definitely get better and better." Luo Qi said with a smile, reaching out and holding Gong Yu's hand involuntarily.
Finally, there is still a little more light in this gloomy life.
Gong Yu and Luo Qi had a heated discussion. Luo Qi told him about the current aristocratic circle, what interests were intertwined, and who he should make friends with.
"I'm stuffed!"
Gong Ou suddenly stood up, threw the knife and fork in his hand on the plate, turned around and left with a cold face.
Seeing his behavior, Luo Qi frowned dissatisfied, "Miyao, what do you look like? If your father sees it, he will scold you."
After saying that, Luo Qi sat there stiffly, her face turned pale, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing again.
Even though the truth has been completely exposed, Luo Qi still can't help but say such words, as if Gong Jue is still alive. Perhaps, deep in her heart, this knot has not been completely untied.
As soon as she said this, Gong Ou, Gong Yu, and Shi Xiaonian all looked at her, and the look on Luo Qi's face became even more embarrassing.
“…”
Gong Ou took a deep look at Luo Qi, turned around and left.
Luo Qi stopped him, "Mong Ou, I'll send someone to call you later, and we'll spend some time with your father in the evening."
"I also want to accompany grandpa!"
Gong Kui immediately raised her hands high, not knowing that the grandfather she had seen since childhood was just a stand-in.
"You don't need to go." Luo Qi said to Gong Kui, but his eyes fell on Shi Xiaonian, "I want my two sons to spend time with my husband."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian understood the meaning of her words very wisely.
She couldn't disturb them.
After the meal, Gong Ou and Gong Yu were called to the study room to mourn their long-dead father. Their pain and sadness were the same.
No one can empathize with it.
Shi Xiaonian was taking a shower alone in the bathroom. The warm water flowed down from her seaweed-like long hair and slid over her fair skin. She raised her face and let the water wash over her face, feeling extremely sad. Depressed.
She squatted down on the ground and let the water wash over her, wrapping her hands tightly around herself. (To be continued)
