Chapter 1448: The Grand Finale (34)
The two little monkeys heard that this man was their other uncle. Lingxin nudged his younger brother’s shoulder secretly: "Go over and try that trick you used before?" But Mingli didn’t dare to go over. This uncle was different from Uncle Ou Yanan. It was obvious at a glance. Uncle Ou Yanan clearly seemed like a kind-hearted man, very soft-hearted. But this uncle named Gu Sheng was more like the cunning Professor Tang, with a face cold as ice and eyes devoid of any liveliness, as if pushing people away from a thousand miles away.
"Brother, I’m scared," Mingli voiced his true feelings.
Gu Dad and Gu Mom, sitting nearby, heard the child’s words and looked over altogether, seeing the expression of their adoptive son, their faces turned equally silent. Let alone the children not daring, the two elders dared even less. Gu Dad had already said everything before, that if the adoptive son hated them for a lifetime, it would be acceptable. Gu Mom had no opinion on what Gu Dad had said.
Xiao Jianming, who knew a bit about their family’s situation, moved closer to Gu Dad and said, "The issue between a father and son is not about who’s right or wrong."
"Then what is it?" Gu Dad didn’t believe Xiao Jianming could understand anything, as Xiao Jianming hadn’t gotten along well with his own son either before.
Xiao Jianming admitted, "I always thought I was right, he always thought he was right, and that’s the conflict. I see you’re the same, always thinking your way is the right way, aren’t you? How do you know what he’s thinking?"
Gu Dad was stunned: What, the adoptive son doesn’t resent him? How could the adoptive son not resent them? If he didn’t resent, why wouldn’t he come home or call them mom and dad?
Resentment, hatred? Of course there’s none. Gu Sheng wasn’t deaf to the sounds around him, but it was no use even if he heard them. Because as long as he thought about Gu Nuan not being able to hear anything, this was the result of his actions, and the only thing he could think of was, if only he could bear all this for her. The problem was that it was impossible. No resentment, no hatred, because the one who should have resented and hated him the most never did.
Since childhood, she had been good to him, even knowing he caused her to be like this, she was still only good to him. He lowered his gaze, turned his head, and saw those two pairs of small eyes, just like her eyes.
At the moment Mingli saw him looking over, he immediately hid behind his brother. Lingxin frowned, pulled his brother out from behind him, and shouted at Gu Sheng who had turned his head: "Uncle Gu."
Were they calling him uncle? But what right did he have to be their uncle? He almost got their mom killed. Gu Sheng thought, lowering his head again, not speaking.
The two little monkeys were unhappy seeing him like this and shouted, "Hey, how can you be like this, my brother called you, how can you not respond?"
Gu Sheng looked up and saw the angry face of the second little monkey, seemingly understanding him properly for the first time, and said, "You’re right."
"Do you know what I’m saying?" The second little monkey was displeased, pouting, "Can you not hear? Your ears are fine, how can you not listen well to others, do you know how unfair this is to my mom? My mom’s ears—"
The angrier the second little monkey got, the more saddened he became, his little face pouting to the side.
They just now knew that their mom originally couldn’t hear, because their mom usually appeared too normal, especially when listening to them speak. If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t, wouldn’t have spoken like that, especially him, he definitely wouldn’t have gone missing making mom worried.
Gu Sheng didn’t expect a child would say such words to him. After hearing the words of the second little monkey, you really couldn’t say, the little monkey had no reason. No, he was very reasonable, too reasonable.
