When Huo Guanchen heard his brother, who had been away from home for 18 years, mention his mother, Xie Ziyan, he said bitterly, "Brother, do you know that you didn't take care of yourself earlier and allowed Head Nurse Zhang to stay by Dad's side? Now you're blaming me?"
He struggled to free himself from Huo Guanyuan's grasp and stood up from the ground.
Although Huo Guanyuan was pinching the back of Huo Guanchen's neck, he didn't use too much force. Otherwise, Huo Guanchen wouldn't have been able to stand up.
However, Huo Guanchen only felt that he had become more capable. Although his brother was powerful, he was no pushover either!
He looked back at his big brother who was half a head taller than him and sneered, "Big brother, what do you do for a living? What do I do for a living? I'm not as perceptive as you are in my life. I really didn't know that Head Nurse Zhang had a shady relationship with Dad. "
Huo Guanyuan's gaze fell on Xie Ziyan's photo opposite him. His expression was slightly cold as he said, "Don't try to excuse yourself. Even if you didn't know at first, how could you not know when her whole family moved in?! No matter how slow you are, you would know. Otherwise, how could you have climbed to such a high position? "
"Hahahaha … Big Brother, you finally spoke the truth! You just can't bear to see me better than you! "
Under the bright light in the room, Huo Guanchen's expression turned ferocious for a moment.
"Ever since we were young, you've always been better and more capable than me. I admit it! Who asked you to be my big brother?! "
"In my memory, Big Brother was kind to his brothers, caring for his comrades, and respectful to his parents. He was perfect without any flaws. He was a good man that everyone praised! I respect and worship such a big brother because he is worth it! "
"But now you …" Huo Guanchen reached out and tapped Huo Guanyuan's chest heavily. He said angrily, "Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like now?!"
"Extreme! Narrow-Minded! Selfish! Jealousy! You even hit me! I really wonder if you are an imposter! "
The corners of Huo Guanyuan's mouth twitched. He grabbed Huo Guanchen's wrist and almost broke it.
However, Huo Guanchen tried his best to endure the pain and did not bow down in front of Huo Guanyuan.
Huo Guanyuan looked down at his younger brother. When they were young, he had been like a follower who had been by his side like a shadow. Now, he had grown up and knew how to push all the blame onto others.
"Huo Guanchen, if you think I'm perfect and flawless, that I'm a good person that everyone praises, then you don't know me at all."
As Huo Guanyuan spoke, his face regained its calm and composure.
"Don't you know what I do for a living? — People who do this kind of work are the best at disguising. If you can't see through the appearance and see the essence, it's your own incompetence. "
Huo Guanyuan pushed hard and let go of Huo Guanchen's wrist. He said indifferently, "I'm not a perfect person. My loyalty is all dedicated to my work and my country. I don't have so many feelings for unrelated people. Huo Guanchen, since you refuse to admit your mistakes and repent, then we have nothing else to say. "
As he spoke, Huo Guanyuan knelt down in front of Xie Ziyan's portrait and kowtowed to her three times respectfully.
"Mom, I came back late. I've made you suffer!"
Huo Guanchen felt a little guilty when he saw Huo Guanyuan like this. He didn't know what he was going to do, so he couldn't help but kneel down as well. He admitted defeat and said, "Big brother, I really didn't know. I didn't do it on purpose …"
He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Besides, when you suddenly 'died', my parents were so sad that they fell ill in bed. I was alone, so I couldn't take care of them."
"Head nurse Zhang took care of my father's body for so many years. With her around, I had the time to take care of my mother."
"And compared to my mother, my father suffered a greater blow. You didn't see how sad my father was … "
"Big brother, you don't know. You're my father's hope. Ever since I was young, my father has always had higher expectations for you. He doesn't actually have that high of me."
"At that time, Head Nurse Zhang suddenly said that the family didn't have enough manpower and wanted to bring her son and daughter-in-law's family in to help us. My father readily agreed."
"I saw how happy my father was, as if it could make up for the loss of you, so I acquiesced."
Huo Guanchen stood up with Huo Guanyuan and said with a bitter smile, "I only found out about Head Nurse Zhang and my father after the Zhang family moved in. I also found out that Zhang Baochen was my father's illegitimate son …"
"But what do you want me to do? If I had cried out at that time, I could have chased them away, but everything my father had would have been destroyed! "
Huo Guanchen was extremely excited. "Do you think my mother didn't know?! My mother didn't say anything for the sake of my father's reputation … "
Smack! Smack!
For the first time, Huo Guanyuan realized that he couldn't control his emotions. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Huo Guanchen's face!
Huo Guanchen staggered from the slap. His body spun around and he fell onto the mantel behind him.
Huo Guanyuan was so strong that Huo Guanchen almost broke the mantel.
Xie Ziyan's photo swayed twice and fell from the mantel.
Huo Guanyuan quickly reached out to pick it up. He wiped it with his sleeve and held it in his arms.
"Brother, you hit me over and over again. What did I do wrong?!"
"Why do you think I didn't do anything after discovering Zhang Baochen's background?!" Huo Guanchen felt extremely wronged and was filled with grief and indignation. "That's because I wanted to make up for the loss of my father's beloved son!"
"You didn't see how happy father was ever since Zhang Baochen's family moved in! His health gradually improved! "
Huo Guanyuan waved his hand and strangled Huo Guanchen's neck. His voice became even colder. "You replaced me with Zhang Baochen? In your heart, I'm just like that piece of trash?! "
"Also, you keep saying that your father is the saddest and sickest, but he's still alive and well. Meanwhile, your mother, who you've always taken care of, passed away early!"
"Who's the saddest? Huo Guanchen, are you blind?!"
Huo Guanyuan was furious. "We're both brothers, but I didn't know that your IQ was so low!"
"My IQ is low?" Huo Guanchen felt that he had been backing down all this time. He had no choice but to resist. "It's obviously easy for you to say that! You still think that father doesn't care about you just because he's not dead? Huo Guanyuan, I didn't know you were such a cold-blooded and heartless person! "
"You really have a low IQ. You can't even understand what I'm saying." Huo Guanyuan let go of his hand. He was extremely disappointed with his younger brother. "Not only did you not understand, but you also deliberately twisted my words. You're good. Now I can see that you're capable. You're able to rise through the ranks. You didn't learn anything good, but you learned all these messy things! "
"I also learned from you!" Huo Guanchen adjusted his collar and sneered. "Yes, I'm not as capable as you, but I married the person I love the most and even gave birth to the most powerful son with her!"
"What about you?! You're shameless and coveted your own sister-in-law! "
"That's right, I didn't see your true colors! When you suddenly married your comrade's woman and gave birth to a child only seven months after marriage, so many people in the military said that you had a problem with your style. It was my father and I who stood firmly on your side and fought against those who spread rumors! "
"But how did you repay me and my father?!" Huo Guanchen's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious to the extreme. "You think my father wasn't sad enough because he wasn't sad enough to die!"
"You also think that I'm not smart enough and drag down your heroic image!"
At that moment, the door behind them was suddenly pushed open. Lu Jin stood at the door with Song Jinning, wanting to talk to Huo Guanyuan.
Huo Guanchen's attention was focused on Huo Guanyuan, so he didn't notice and blurted out, "But so what?! Not only did I woo the goddess of your heart, but I also married her and even divorced her! "
"You're so powerful, but you still want to pick up my used shoes!"
Song Jinning originally didn't want to get involved in the Huo family's matters, but when she heard Huo Guanchen's words, she was so angry that she was about to die.
She pushed Lu Jin away and stomped in. She raised her hand and slapped Huo Guanchen's swollen face again.
"Huo Guanchen! I was indeed blind! Why would I marry a scumbag like you! "
What made Song Jinning even more angry was that she had once loved this man with all her heart!
Huo Guanchen had only wanted to provoke Huo Guanyuan to the greatest extent, so he had said the words that could provoke a man the most.
He hadn't expected Song Jinning to overhear his words.
A trace of panic flashed through his eyes, and he immediately ignored the presence of outsiders. He pulled Song Jinning and sobbed, "Jinning, I was wrong … I was just arguing with my brother. I didn't … I didn't mean to belittle you … I was just angry. Don't you know how I've treated you after all these years?"
Lu Jin walked in as well. A hint of slyness flashed through his eyes, but on the surface, he said seriously, "From a psychological point of view, words that are blurted out in anger are a person's truest emotional reaction. Because these words are actually in the deepest part of your consciousness, and they are also the part closest to your nature. "
"If you've never thought about these words, then no matter how angry you are, you wouldn't have said these hurtful words."
"So when you said that Ms. Song was a used shoe, it was definitely not out of anger, but the truest reaction and opinion from the bottom of your heart."
This kind of argument, which seemed fair from an academic point of view, but was actually biased, added fuel to the fire.
Not only was Song Jinning's heart cold, but she was also disgusted.
She kicked him hard, and Huo Guanchen reflexively covered his vital parts. He took a few steps back and let go of Song Jinning.
Song Jinning turned around and ran out of Xie Ziyan's room.
Huo Guanyuan was worried about Song Jinning. He glared at Huo Guanchen coldly and said, "Huo Guanchen, we have nothing to say. I don't have a younger brother like you. Don't worry, from now on, I'm no longer Huo Guanyuan, and I won't regain my identity and name. "
His gaze fell on Lu Jin, who was at a loss for words, and he said word by word, "I'm still Lu Yuan. Lu Jin is my real brother!"
