She looked back at Gong Ou, who was still flipping through books frantically, flipping through one book and tossing one after another. Shi Xiaonian's eyes were red.
Gongou.
I feel a little uncomfortable, and I really want to talk to you, but I know I shouldn't bother you now.
He has his troubles.
Her her trouble.
Shi Xiaonian withdrew her gaze and sat quietly on the ground, holding her knees tightly with her hands, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
Xi Yu.
She suddenly missed this brother she had never met, her father and mother, and missed him so much.
If she could, she really didn't want to get into the muddy waters of the Gong family, but she had no other choice. She felt sorry for Gong Ou, and she couldn't let go of Gong Ou, but Gong Ou didn't want her to let go.
Shi Xiaonian sat on the ground, listening to the sound of turning the pages of a book behind her, feeling heartbroken.
On this day, Gong Ou did nothing. He just rummaged through books on the bed and asked Feng De to help search for them. He did not ask her to help.
She watched him busy like an outsider.
She pulled Gong Yu back, but she did not let Gong Ou let go of the shackles of the Gong family. Instead, she added an emotional burden to him.
Another day passed.
Gong Yu was on a blind date, and a group of people were sitting in the garden talking and laughing happily.
When Xiaonian stood at the window upstairs and looked downstairs, she saw Gong Yu walking with a young blond girl. The two were talking about something and smiling from time to time.
We had a great time talking.
That was the life in which she brought Gong Yu back. As she looked at their figures, Shi Xiaonian gradually understood what Gong Yu was thinking.
It must be a kind of atonement mentality. The guilt towards Xi Yu led him to agree as soon as she said it, and the guilt towards Gong Ou made him care about the Gong family, even if he was avoiding all this in his heart.
But no matter what, she still brought Gong Yu back to the life trajectory that he had finally escaped.
When Shi Xiaonian was looking down, he suddenly saw Gong Ou beside a pillar. He stood there, staring coldly at Gong Yu and the girl on a blind date, expressionless.
That look stung Shi Xiaonian's heart. Gong Ou didn't argue with her, but he had already made it clear that he didn't like her behavior and hated her for dragging his brother into it again.
Suddenly, Gong Ou suddenly raised his head and looked in her direction, his handsome face still expressionless.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian bit her lips and met his gaze from a distance.
Gong Ou looked away.
Time passed slowly, except for Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou, everyone had a smile on their face, welcoming Gong Yu's return, and the entire Gong family regained a lot of vitality.
Even Luo Qi's health has improved a lot.
Gong Yu likes to give gifts to his servants, which causes a lot of laughter and laughter in the Gong family. This kind of communication means Gong Yu does not have.
Gong Yu chose an aristocratic lady from his blind date who was closely related to politics, and specially held a dance for her at home.
Young men and women of similar age in the clan were all invited to the Gong family, which was very lively.
Gong Kui was so happy that there was a lot of excitement, flying around like a little bird.
On the grass, men and women held hands and danced. The woman's gorgeous wide skirt drew a beautiful arc. Gong Yu and his marriage partner danced at the front of the crowd. The music was melodious and cheerful, making the sunshine of the day even brighter.
It's a beautiful and joyful day.
But Shi Xiaonian didn't know what was hidden behind the smiling faces. She stood outside the crowd and looked at them quietly, with no expression on her face.
"Young lady, aren't you going to dance?"
Charles stood behind Shi Xiaonian and asked. Shi Xiaonian was wearing a light yellow wide skirt today. She was delicate and beautiful. The pearl necklace around her neck was gentle and flawless, which made her even more radiant.
Shi Xiaonian shook her head silently, how could she be happy.
"Young Madam is so beautiful today, the Second Young Master will definitely come over and invite you." Charles said.
Gongou.
He would not invite her. In fact, she had been sleeping with Gong Ou for several days. He was frantically looking for precedents and studying how to replace Gong Yu's position so that Gong Yu could get rid of the responsibility of the eldest son.
She tried to talk to him, but every time he looked at her there was a hint of restraint.
He was restraining himself from blaming her.
"Mom, why don't you go dancing?"
Gong Kui jumped up to Shi Xiaonian in a beautiful little skirt, pulled her skirt and asked, Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly, bent down and wiped the sweat from her face, "Don't play too crazy, I’m all sweating.”
"I'm so happy." Gong Kui took her hand and said, "Mom, go dance. Go dance with Dad. I saw him over there."
Gong Kui held her tightly and walked to the other side.
On the lawn, Gong Ou sat in front of a white round table not far from the crowd. He was like an outlier. Everyone here was dressed gorgeously. Even she had to change into a skirt to greet the guests. Only Gong Ou wore a gray suit. Wearing home clothes and slippers on his feet, he looked like he had just stepped out of the bedroom, with a pair of black eyes looking coldly at the dancing crowd.
"Mom, go dance, go dance, I'm going to play with Holy."
Gong Kui pushed Shi Xiaonian forward.
Shi Xiaonian walked forward helplessly. Before he could get closer, Gong Yu, who had been dancing, walked towards Gong Ou with a glass of champagne and sat down next to him. He didn't notice Shi Xiaonian's presence and said, "What's going on between you and Xiaonian?"
The two of them sat there with their backs to Shi Xiaonian.
“…”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian stood there stiffly. At this time, the atmosphere became weird when she walked forward. She had to stand by the bushes and pretended to watch others dancing.
"nothing."
Amid the joyful music, Gong Ou's voice seemed cold and unsociable.
Although she was used to hearing Gong Ou's voice these days, Shi Xiaonian's heart was still stabbed as she looked at Gong Ou's figure.
"Brother is not a fool, I can see that." Gong Yu sat there and took a sip of champagne and said, "Don't blame Xiao Nian because of me, she is doing it all for you."
"I know."
Gong Ou said coldly.
How could he not know that Shi Xiaonian was doing it for him.
"I knew you were still like that?" Gong Yu frowned and looked at his younger brother.
Gong Ou had a cold face and a pair of black eyes looking at the person dancing on the grass indifferently, "She is my woman, her fault is my fault, I can't allow myself to make mistakes!"
"Gong Ou, Xiao Nian is not to blame for this. She just said that, and she didn't tie me up and force me to come back." Gong Yu looked at him and said solemnly, "It's me who's coming back. The decision has nothing to do with Xiao Nian. If you get angry with her for this, I will feel guilty for her. "
“…”
"I already owe her brother, and I don't want to owe her anymore." Gong Yu said, looking at Gong Ou solemnly.
"Are you going to die?"
Gong Ou sat there and asked suddenly, his eyes still not looking at Gong Yu.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian stood not far away and was shocked.
Gong Yu sat there and smiled, took another sip of champagne and said, "What are you talking about? I'll die in peace."
"Marrying, having children, and inheriting the family business are more painful for you than death." Gong Ou suddenly turned his eyes and looked at him sharply, seeing him through. "More than ten years ago, you just faked your death. This time Will he really die?"
It turned out that Gong Ou was afraid of this.
He was afraid that she would drive his eldest brother to a dead end, just like Gong Jue had done before.
Shi Xiaonian stood there silently, Gong Yu sat next to Gong Ou, took another sip of champagne, and smiled forcefully, "So you are worried about this matter, don't worry, brother will not die."
“…”
"It was before. Your brother and I were too cowardly and made so many mistakes. Now I have come to my senses. Don't worry about me anymore." Gong Yu said, reaching out and patting his shoulder, "I think everything is right now. What I want, I won’t reject.”
Gong Ou stared at him with a heavy gaze, "Okay, you swear on your mother's life."
"It doesn't have to be so serious."
Gong Yu still smiled, feeling a little guilty.
"Gong Yu." Gong Ou's dark eyes were sinister, his thin lips were slightly raised, and his voice was low and cold, "You are the most cowardly man I have ever seen. You can escape for more than ten years."
“…”
Gong Yu's face looked a little embarrassed.
"But you are my only brother, and I won't watch you die." Gong Ou sat there in home clothes, suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped his collar, stared at him and growled, "Before it's too late, Before now, give up your position to me! Do you hear me?"
He searched for a long time, but could not find a way to perfectly replace the eldest son without causing any trouble.
If you delay any longer, Gong Yu will get married.
Gong Yu let him hold his collar, frowning slightly, and said in a mature voice, "Gong Ou, you must give me some responsibility as an older brother. You and Xiaonian should go back to S City. I promise, I won't die."
"I don't believe you!" Gong Ou said each word from his throat, his eyes were extremely sharp, "Gong Yu, listen, give up your position, I will not allow my mistakes to cause unpredictable results! "
For a person who has been hiding under pressure for more than ten years, Gong Ou really can't believe that he can carry the Gong family. He will only carry himself to death.
"There are no unpredictable results. You and I, brothers, will work together to leave a lasting mark in this world! This is the greatest expectation of father and mother!" Gong Yu's brows furrowed deeply and his tone became serious. stand up.
"Dark and colorful?" Gong Ou sneered, "I only see your death!"
"Gong Ou, I am your brother. I admit that you are smart, but don't think that you are omnipotent." Gong Yu said.
"I'm not like you, who only resort to death to solve problems!" This made him feel relieved.
"Gong Ou, that's enough! You have the IQ to manage the Gong family, but you don't have the EQ to manage it! The Gong family is mine, don't cause any trouble!"
The two brothers started arguing like this. After hearing this, Gong Ou stood up and kicked Gong Yu, knocking him and his chair onto the grass.
"boom!"
The noise was violent.
The music stopped abruptly.
The dancers stopped one after another and turned to look at the two of them in surprise. Charles and Feng De both moved forward. (To be continued)
