Chapter 37: Adultery 04
What Qi Si didn't know was that not only was Gu Rong not hit hard, he also hit Mr. Gu hard.
If Gu Yanchen knew the internet buzzwords, he would probably be in one of the following three states: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
He was stiff from head to heel.
I couldn't believe what I saw.
Shattered all three views.
until--
[I smell nothing.]
A sighing voice sounded, and Gu Rong raised his head and seemed to curl his lips.
When Gu Rong hung up his shirt and came out of the small room, he saw Gu Yanchen already sitting behind the desk.
Gu Rong stopped where he was and asked, "When did you come back?"
Gu Yanchen raised his head: "When did you come in?"
Without waiting for Gu Rong to speak again, Gu Yanchen said, "Gu Rong, aren't you being too tactless? Who allowed you to walk directly into my office, or even into my rest area?"
The tone of the words was very stern, as if he was giving a warning.
"I'm your brother. Do I need your permission?"
Gu Rong sneered, "You asked me to come over and be your assistant, but why didn't you consider whether I was willing? Mr. Gu enjoys such a large office and even a lounge. Don't be partial. I'm close now, so I can come over and rest when I'm tired. Big brother, you won't even give me this little convenience, right?"
"I remember we used to sleep in the same bed."
"you--"
Gu Yanchen's forehead twitched as he spoke word by word, "Those were all things that happened when I was a kid."
Gu Rong: "Just tell me whether you have slept with it or not."
Gu Yanchen: “”
After pinching his forehead, Gu Yanchen organized his words again: "Gu Rong, you are not a child anymore."
"Then don't rest while I'm resting in there."
""
Gu Yanchen was speechless.
His brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed, and he looked very serious, which made people feel scared.
but......
[I’m not happy.]
Gu Yanchen heard Gu Rong laughing in his heart:
[Ha, I'm happy if you don't have a good time.]
Gu Yanchen remained silent, his brows furrowed even tighter.
It was like solving a difficult puzzle. Even though I could hear Gu Rong's inner voice, I still had many questions and became more and more confused.
And after hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Gu Yanchen was indeed a little surprised.
This is the truest voice in Gu Rong's heart. It is too bad to build one's happiness on embarrassing others. Moreover, Gu Yanchen really can't understand. Is Gu Rong's various behaviors because he hates him very much, or what... Why does Gu Rong reject him as his elder brother so much?
"You seem to be looking at me all day long."
Gu Rong spoke sharply, walked over and sat down on the sofa, crossed his arms and looked at Gu Yanchen: "Brother, why are you looking at me? Do you regret transferring me to your side?"
"He was transferred to be my assistant."
"Is there a difference?"
Gu Rong narrowed his eyes, then suddenly stood up and walked towards Gu Yanchen.
He walked to Gu Yanchen's desk, supported himself on the edge of the table with both hands, and pressed his body down, getting closer and closer to Gu Yanchen, almost making Gu Yanchen want to lean back.
But fortunately, Gu Rong stopped quickly.
Keep staring at him at a distance that is neither too far nor too close.
"You're going to fire me, right?"
Gu Yanchen was suddenly startled, but quickly calmed down.
It's not surprising that Gu Rong knew about this.
He naturally has his own channels.
But suddenly bringing this up...
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Gu Rong kept a close eye on the person.
Gu Yanchen actually felt uncomfortable being stared at.
I always feel that that look has a special meaning.
He shifted his gaze slightly, then looked back over, lowering his voice and saying, "Grandpa also knows about this. Do you know that he is very disappointed in you?"
"so what?"
Gu Rong asked back, "Are you going to give me another chance for grandpa's sake?"
[Why bother? I'll always be like this anyway.]
Gu Yanchen was about to give an affirmative answer, but when he heard this, his face suddenly sank. He felt that Gu Rong was really stubborn and unrepentant. Grandpa had always opposed his decision to dismiss Gu Rong. Even if Gu Rong could not understand Grandpa's good intentions, he could not do this -
[Only by being a carefree younger brother can you keep an eye on me.]
Suddenly, waves arose out of thin air.
No, a sudden storm arose.
Gu Yanchen raised his eyes and met Gu Rong's gaze. They were separated by an office desk, one sitting and the other standing. There was less than half an arm's length between their faces. They could clearly see the color of each other's pupils, and even themselves in each other's eyes. In Gu Rong's black and white vision, Gu Yanchen's figure was even more clearly visible.
At that moment, Gu Yanchen didn't know what he was thinking.
There seemed to be a rumbling sound in my mind, and there was no trace of calmness or indifference.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Gu Yanchen opened his mouth, but his voice was so dry that he didn't know what to say.
——What’s the point of being a troublesome younger brother?
"Speak."
Gu Rong whispered, as if waiting for something.
Gu Yanchen closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was stiff and hoarse: "Yes, if it weren't for grandpa, I wouldn't give you any more chances."
"Yeah."
Gu Rong said softly.
Then he sneered, withdrew his hand and stood up, his eyes full of mockery: "Then it seems that I should thank you for listening to Grandpa so much."
"You should thank Grandpa."
"You don't have to say that."
The two were speechless, and Gu Rong turned and left.
But Gu Yanchen couldn't calm down for a long time.
He seemed unable to deceive himself any longer, or try to find an answer that he could accept from other explanations. The facts were before him, and he had to force himself to accept them.
The first thing is that he suddenly gained the ability to hear other people's thoughts, and this ability seems to be only for Gu Rong, and the reason is still unknown.
The second thing was that because he could suddenly hear Gu Rong's inner voice, he discovered that Gu Rong's inner activities were contrary to his outward behavior, and the difference in this inner activity was very obvious in him - his own brother seemed to have a strange psychological feeling towards him, and he didn't know when it started to become distorted.
This is pathological and needs to be corrected.
Maybe there was a deviation somewhere.
Gu Yanchen always thought that he had a good ability to accept things, but now he suddenly was not sure. At least today, reshaping his world view and cognition made him physically and mentally exhausted and unable to cope. At the same time, Gu Rong's words seemed to keep ringing in his ears, making Gu Yanchen have an inexplicable complex feeling.
Such loneliness and desolation, as well as the self-deprecating tone of giving up, it has to be said that Gu Yanchen couldn't let it go.
It was not only the meaning revealed in the words, but also the tone that had never been shown in front of him before.
Gu Yanchen suddenly realized that he really didn't seem to know his younger brother very well.
When I think about it carefully, I have no idea when Gu Rong started to become abnormal.
It could also be because he's been hiding it well.
Or maybe...
They care too little about Gu Rong.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanchen pinched his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.
As it was almost time to get off work, Qi Si called in and said that he had made an appointment with the doctor for Gu Yanchen. He asked Gu Yanchen if the appointment time was okay and whether he needed to change it.
Gu Yanchen had actually already made up his mind, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the hospital.
The results of the physical examination naturally showed no problems. Gu Yanchen went to the psychological counseling room again and asked some questions, such as whether children would have certain developmental deviations if they lacked parental companionship during their growth, and whether they would have self-emotional cognitive defects, etc. The more he asked, the heavier his heart became, and he didn't even smile when he came out.
It was already late when I got home.
Gu Yanchen had told him earlier that there was no need to save any food for him, and he had no appetite to eat. Now he was only thinking about one thing, asking Uncle Li where Gu Rong was now. He saw Gu Rong's car when he came back.
"The Second Young Master should be swimming in the pool in the back garden right now."
"swim?"
Gu Yanchen almost got angry, thinking that he was still in the mood to swim.
"Where's Grandpa?"
"The master is in the study."
Gu Yanchen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go find Gu Rong.
As a result, when I was walking through the corridor, I heard the servants chatting.
Naturally, they were talking about him and Gu Rong.
Family disgrace should not be made public, but the things that Gu Rong did and the daily conflicts were still inevitably discussed by others.
But Gu Yanchen didn't expect that the servants at home were also talking about it.
And also mentioned their parents.
"Oh, you don't know. Mr. and Mrs. passed away on the day the second young master was born. At that time, the wife was very pregnant, and they got into a car accident. There were three people in the car, and they almost couldn't save the child. But luckily, the second young master was born. It's just that Mr. and Mrs. couldn't save him in time, and since the wife was still pregnant at the time, they saved the older one and the younger one survived."
"Ah? So, the Second Young Master's birthday is... the anniversary of his parents' death?!"
"Yeah, the Second Young Master never celebrates his birthday. It's because he was born in such an unlucky time. Maybe it's because of this... Well, the Gu family doesn't seem to like the Second Young Master very much. Although this is understandable, rich people are often quite superstitious. Not to mention the old man, the Second Young Master's uncle and aunt don't like him very much either."
"What about the eldest young master? He's the biological brother, so he should take better care of his younger brother, right?"
"Ah, that's hard to say. You know, the eldest young master has a very sullen and serious personality. After all, when his parents died unexpectedly, he was only five or six years old. He lost both parents so suddenly, and only had a younger brother left. It must have been difficult for him to accept it. It seems that since then, the eldest young master's personality has become what it is now."
"No wonder the eldest and second young masters are at odds now. It's come to a point where they're fighting to the death. It's terrifying. But I think the second young master is definitely no match for the eldest young master. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second young master is simply not as good as the eldest young master. Yet, they're still fighting over this and that. I really don't understand."
"Maybe he's still unwilling..."
Gu Yanchen didn't know what he was feeling. He stood there stiffly without moving until the two of them left.
After a while, he took a breath and walked towards the swimming pool.
But Gu Yanchen had never been in a situation like this moment, with a thousand words in his heart but no idea what to say first.
But when he walked to the pool, none of these were a problem.
Because Gu Yanchen suddenly saw a person floating silently at the bottom of the swimming pool——
Gu Rong? !
