"Yes, it's me. I've come back to see you. Your illness..." How come it's gotten worse again?
Gong Linyuan couldn't bring himself to say the second half of the sentence.
A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes. He released Si Jin, helped the palace mother back into her wheelchair, and asked in a soft voice:
"Mom, what happened to you while I was away?"
"What happened? What happened?"
The palace mother completely forgot what she had just wanted to do and just lowered her head to think seriously.
The hair at his temples was much grayer than that of people his age.
In a unique way, it reveals the immense torment this noblewoman, not yet fifty, endures in her heart.
After a moment, the palace mother finally remembered what she wanted to say.
She patted Gong Linyuan's hand and said incoherently:
“Xiaoyuan, your brother, Silin, has been found. Mom can at least make up for some of the mistakes she made back then.”
At this point, a few tears welled up in her eyes.
Following his mother's directions, Gong Linyuan looked in the direction of Gong Silin, his gaze gradually darkening.
It seemed like a question: Knowing Mom has a mental illness, why are you still provoking her like this? Are you even her biological son?!
Gong Silin was frozen by those icy eyes, and instinctively shrank back.
This was the first time he had felt the pressure from his ruthless and decisive older brother, and it was somewhat terrifying.
"Okay, Mom. Are you hungry?"
Gong Linyuan looked away from Gong Silin with disgust and continued to coax Gong's mother.
"No, I'm not hungry. I get IV fluids every day, so I'm not hungry. It's just..." Madam Gong said, letting out a soft yawn.
"I'm just a little sleepy."
"Alright, then I'll push you back to sleep." As Gong Linyuan left, Si Jin took the opportunity to inject a wisp of divine power into Gong's mother's body so that she could fall asleep quickly.
Then, she glanced at the isolated and helpless Gong Silin, lowered her head and sat back down at the dining table, starting to eat as if nothing had happened.
Half an hour later, Gong Linyuan came out of his mother's room with a gloomy expression:
"Gong Silin, come with me to the study."
After saying that, he strode towards his study.
The Gong residence has two large studies, one belonging to Gong's father and the other to Gong's eldest son, Gong Linyuan.
These two places are important locations for the Gong family, containing many confidential documents from the company and the Blood Hunter organization, and are guarded by bodyguards.
At the same time, it is also the most serious place in the Gong family.
When he first returned to the Gong family, Gong Silin, relying on his mother's favoritism, acted lawlessly and tried to force his way into his father's study. He was beaten out by the bodyguards with electric batons.
Therefore, he would tremble all over at the mere mention of the study and stand frozen in place, too afraid to move.
Gong Linyuan said with displeasure, "Why do I have to treat you?"
Gong Silin dared not, and only shrank back two steps, tears welling up in his eyes from fright.
Gong Linyuan was even more dissatisfied: "A grown man like you, all you do is cry all day! What are you crying about?! Are you coming or not?"
Gong Silin shuddered, feeling that entering the study would mean being shocked with an electric baton again, and pleaded:
"Brother, can...can we say this here?"
"If you don't mind the embarrassment, you can have it too!"
Gong Linyuan walked to the dining table and spoke righteously:
“Si Lin, first of all, I’m glad you’re back, and I’m also glad you accepted your new identity so quickly.”
"Losing you back then was my fault, and a mother's sins are a mother's sins to be repaid by her children. I apologize to you on her behalf."
As she spoke, she bent down at a 90-degree angle to Gong Silin.
Gong Silin was flattered and thought that his brother had finally taken his side, so he quickly stopped him:
"Brother, it's really not necessary. I'm happy to be home too, it's just that there's a fake family member who's taken over my place..."
"Okay." Gong Linyuan interrupted him, not allowing him to continue.
He continued:
"If you come back, the Gong family will send you to the best school, give you the fairest treatment, and the best resources. But Gong Silin, Mom has been mentally unstable for so many years, and instead of comforting her, you're provoking her. What are you up to?!"
Gong Linyuan's voice suddenly rose, startling Gong Silin so much that he almost jumped up. His eyes instantly reddened, and he hurriedly offered an explanation, at a loss for words:
"Brother, I didn't, I..."
Gong Linyuan: "Dad is on a business trip in the US right now, and I stayed with him there for a few days. He told me to take good care of you and Mom."
"If Dad comes home and sees Mom's condition has worsened like this, how are you going to explain it?!"
"Brother...I..."
"Shut up! I saw Mom's lab results in the room. Medical data doesn't lie. There's no dinner for you tonight. Go back to your room and reflect on your actions. Don't come out until you've figured it out!"
Gong Silin was terrified by the furious Gong Linyuan, and as soon as he saw that he could leave, he quickly hid back in his room.
After closing the door, she angrily kicked the table twice, sweeping away all the decorations on it.
However, even the shattering of bottles and jars on the ground was not enough to quell the hatred in his heart.
