“He and I were never brothers!” Perhaps the boy was so angry that he began to babble. “I have a little brother and it has always been Youyou. This boy is not. He’s just an intruder!”
When Gong Fan heard this, his expression became even more embarrassed. His face flushed red, but he stubbornly pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Despite his pretense of calm, Little Yichen’s cold and decisive words had set off a storm within him.
He and I were never brothers!
I have a little brother and it has always been Youyou. This boy is not. He’s just an intruder!
…
Intruder?!
So in Little Yichen’s mind, he was just an intruder?
So…
Did everyone else think the same way?
Gong Fan’s lips trembled slightly. When he thought of this possibility, he felt a piercing pain in his chest! He looked up at his father and Hua Jin, scanning their faces intently, trying desperately to catch a hint of what was going on!
Was the concern in their eyes sincere?
Or were they just faking it?
Or were they worried that he’d take it out on the boy, so they were just putting on an act, pretending to be concerned about him and treating him like family?
Had everything been a lie?
Gong Fan felt the sharp pain in his heart growing!
Sadness…
The boy lowered his head dejectedly, a picture of loneliness.
When Little Yichen saw this, he assumed Gong Fan was putting on an act. Furious, the boy lunged at him and gripped his shoulders tightly. “Please return Youyou to me,” he growled. “And don’t show yourself to us ever again! Leave us and stop pestering us! What family? We don’t have family like you!”
It was obvious that in Little Yichen’s heart, Gong Fan, who had stabbed Yun Shishi and even wanted to kill her, was unforgivable! However, Gong Fan remained motionless, like a soulless puppet.
Feeling sorry for the boy, Mu Yazhe went up to Little Yichen to stop him. “Calm down, Mu Yichen! What’s gotten into you!?” He didn’t think it was that simple, but then, he was an adult. He would never evaluate something from a single point of view. Even though Little Yichen had witnessed the incident with his own eyes, from another perspective, Gong Fan had no motive to do what he did. In other words, it didn’t benefit him in any way.
Despite his suspicions, he did not come to any conclusions.
“I’m not crazy!” The boy tried to defend himself. “Daddy, don’t you realize? You’ve always treated him like your own, but what happened when he came to our house? We tolerated him and accepted him, but he tried to harm Youyou and Mommy! I can’t forgive him and I don’t want to hear his lies anymore!”
“I … I didn’t …” Gong Fan used the last of his strength to try to explain, “I really didn’t…”
“I don’t want to listen to you! Get out of this body!”
That was a harsh comment!
Little Yichen shoved him away violently. Caught off guard, Gong Fan was shoved to the ground.
Mu Yazhe yanked Little Yichen towards himself and raised a hand to grab his face. “What are you doing, Mu Yichen? Shut up! Calm down!”
