286: The younger brother's protection of his older brother

Just look at the guests on celebrity imitation shows and you will know that there is no shortage of people who look alike in this world, and Jason does not just recognize brothers randomly.

When he saw Gu Jun, he knew that this was his brother.

He also said that it was not Fu Hong who told him.

Gu Junfu suddenly realized: "Is it your Uncle An?"

Jason nodded and then shook his head. "My uncle didn't say it directly, but I did know about it through him. After I knew about your existence, I secretly came to see you, but you didn't notice me."

Jason already knew at that time that Gu Jun was the eldest son abandoned by Fu Hong.

He went to the school to look for Gu Jun.

He watched Gu Jun wearing his school uniform and going to and from school every day, and watched Gu Jun picking up bottles on his way home from school.

Jason was ashamed.

Same mom, different life.

Jason couldn't understand why Fu Hong treated Gu Jun like this. Even if she couldn't bring Gu Jun with her, couldn't she secretly help him?

If he skipped a few classes, it would be enough to pay for Gu Jun's tuition for one term.

However, Jason was only 14 years old. He attended an expensive private high school, studied painting, and had comfortable living conditions, yet he had no pocket money. Fu Hong felt that he had everything and didn't need any, so he never had any. Seeing that Gu Jun was struggling, Jason couldn't help.

He had followed Gu Jun several times. Sometimes when he was supposed to go to the art teacher's class, Jason would secretly run to see Gu Jun.

Jason was not good at lying and missed the painting class, which was soon discovered by Fu Hong.

Fu Hong was furious and smashed Jason's drawing board, threw brushes and paint at him, saying that Jason was wasting his talent and her efforts. Because Jason still refused to tell her where he had skipped class, Fu Hong locked Jason out and asked him to reflect on his actions.

"I stood in the yard until midnight that day, and it was my uncle who brought me home. He patiently asked me where I had been, and I said I was following you. He told me not to mention your name at home, saying that my mother couldn't bear to hear the word 'Gu'. He also said that if I couldn't become the painter my mother wanted, I would be abandoned like you... I'm sorry, I was too timid at that time and didn't have the courage to recognize you."

If only I had been braver.

Then he can have a brother sooner and still see his grandfather.

Jason's voice was a little choked up again, but this time he didn't cry. Weakness wouldn't solve any problems, so Jason didn't allow himself to cry anymore.

Gu Jun listened to him quietly.

"Even if you had the courage to meet me then, I wouldn't have accepted you. I used to be a very dark person, and I would have attacked you with the sharpest and most vicious words. Meeting each other at the wrong time isn't necessarily a good thing. You wouldn't be who you are now, and I wouldn't be who I am now."

At that time, Gu Jun was not only poor, he had not met Xu Yao yet, he had not experienced love like the sun, and he would never accept Jason.

The two brothers sat in the Gu family's old house for a while.

On the way back, Jason asked Gu Jun if he really loved Xu Yao.

"Without Xu Yao, will my brother be happy?"

"I will try my best to make myself happy."

——That means you are unhappy.

Jason nodded. "I understand."

Jason said he was planning to meet with Uncle An and asked Gu Jun not to "eavesdrop" again this time. "Brother, can you trust me just once? Just this once, I can handle this."

Jason's tone was almost pleading, and Gu Jun finally nodded.

"……good."

Jason smiled sincerely: "You have suffered so much, you should be happy. I really like Xu Yao to be my sister-in-law."

Gu Jun found these words very pleasing to his ears. "Take your time. I will make her accept me again."

The two returned to the townhouse together. Jason took the house key and left. This time, Gu Jun kept his word and didn't let anyone follow him. Still at the same coffee shop, Jason arranged to meet Mr. An alone. Mr. An arrived earlier than Jason, and Jason saw Mr. An watching short videos on his phone.

Mr. An was surprised to see him coming alone: "Where's Gu Jun? Didn't you say he wanted to see me? Your test results are out, right? I didn't lie to him. You two really are brothers."

"The results are out, we are indeed brothers. But my brother won't be coming today. It was my own idea to ask my uncle to meet."

Jason's words made Mr. An frown.

"Why didn't Gu Jun come? Didn't I tell him I would explain to him why your mother left home?"

There wasn't much expression on Jason's face. From the side, his outline really looked like Gu Jun.

Jason was intentionally imitating Gu Jun.

Gu Jun's voice is not too high and his speech speed is not fast, but he is very convincing.

Jason thought that was the confidence that Gu Jun gained from his strength.

Jason doesn't have Gu Jun's strength, so he wants to achieve his goal by imitating Gu Jun. After all, what he has to deal with is related to Gu Jun's happiness. Thinking that he is fighting for his brother's happiness and protecting his brother from harm, Jason has the courage:

"Is it necessary to know why she ran away from home? The reason cannot change the result. Her choice did cause the Gu family to fall into trouble. I think it's meaningless to say these things now. Uncle, please take my mother away from South City. Don't come back, and my brother won't chase you abroad and do anything bad to you. Just like all those years before, not disturbing my brother's life is the best compensation for him and me."

When Jason's mental state is bad, he has trouble communicating with others, so it's impossible for him to say such a long and coherent speech.

Mr. An was surprised.

We haven't seen each other for a while, and Jason has changed a lot.

Mr. An even hesitated for a moment: Maybe it was right to leave Jason in South City.

The next second, Mr. An regained consciousness.

Fu Hong would not agree to leave Jason in South City. Mr. An has loved Jason like his own son for many years, and now that he lives abroad, having Jason by his side is also a kind of emotional comfort.

Mr. An frowned. "Maybe your mother needs to compensate Gu Jun, but she's already given you 100%. What kind of compensation do you want from her? From what you said, you're not going with us, right? Then your mother won't leave either!"

Jason wasn't good at arguing, nor did he want to argue, so he had prepared himself before coming.

Jason took out his phone and said, "Uncle, have you seen this video?"

Mr. An's expression was a little unnatural: "I see it occasionally. They say it's recommended by big data."

Jason murmured, "Big data sometimes understands us better than we do ourselves. People can lie and say one thing and mean another, but big data doesn't. Everything we search for and pay attention to leaves a trace, just like we lived in the same city for many years. How can we just erase those traces? As long as you and my mom don't come back, my brother will be happy, I will be happy, and many people will be happy too."

Jason swiped his fingers through short videos one after another.

"You know what? My brother is married. His wife is a very good sister. She studied painting like me. She even won prizes in art competitions that I didn't participate in. I've heard of her name for a long time. Although she gave up painting for some reasons, she has made a good living through her own efforts. I want her to continue to be my sister-in-law."

Mr. An looked at Jason and then looked down at his phone, and finally understood what Jason was talking about.

Mr. An's lips moved, and his facial features all looked droopy and gray.
