“Er… so you say.”
Now that he thought about it, Hua Jin agreed that there was nothing to fear about Gong Jie. Although his identity was a little intimidating to most ordinary people, once they became familiar with him, they wouldn’t be so afraid.
But… for some reason, no matter how he’d tell himself that Gong Jie was an ordinary man, and that here was no need to be particularly afraid of him, every time the man was around, he’d be overwhelmed by his invisible aura.
Even though he might show no visible expression on his face, a person with a powerful aura was nevertheless a force to be reckoned with.
Oddly though, the actor had an insatiable curiosity about Gong Jie. “Did you grow up with him?”
!!
“Er… sort of! He was a greenhorn when I met him, but after all those years in the Hurricane, I’ve heard about what he was like as a child, from his father.”
Yun Shishi’s interest was piqued, too. She and Gong Jie had been separated since they were children. It was many years before they met again. Therefore, she was very interested in Gong Jie’s youth.
“What was Gong Jie like as a child?”
Alice narrowed her eyes and frowned slightly. She thought long and hard about where to start. “How should I put this?”
Yun Shishi gave her a starting point. “When did Xiao Jie return to the Gong family?”
Alice was a little stumped. After a long hesitation, she said, “I have a vivid memory of the Old Master mentioning that it was because of an accident that Gong Jie first returned to the Gong family. I think you know about that accident, Shishi. When Old Master brought Gong Jie home, the boy seemed to have lost a part of his memory because of a car accident. All he remembered was that he had an older sister. According to him, the rest of his memory is blurred.”
He returned to the Gong family at a young age, having lost his older sister and mother in the car accident. However, that accident felt like a dream to Gong Jie at the time.
When he returned to the Gong family, the little fellow did not cry or make a fuss, but he had trouble eating and sleeping. It was only later that the long-term hunger strike caused malnutrition, so he began to receive intravenous drips.
Later, after Gong Shaoying and Gong Jie had a talk. The two of them spent the afternoon in the study where the older man brought a bottle of whiskey for the little guy.
At the time, everyone was terrified. Gong Jie was a noble young master, but Gong Shaoying actually gave alcohol to such a young child. At that time, many people tried to stop him. Except that no one could really stop Gong Shaoying.
All they knew was that Gong Jie got drunk that day. Although he was drunk, he did not argue or make a fuss. He simply sat on the sofa stubbornly, his eyes reddened from crying, his tears wetting the carpet. The more he drank, the harder he cried, sobbing for his mommy, for his big sister.
Gong Shaoying had no choice but to tell him a cruel truth. His mother was dead. His sister was dead too…
In an instant, it was as if a floodgate had been opened. The little guy cried all night and developed a high fever the next day. He almost got pneumonia.
When the fever subsided, he finally came to his senses, but his temperament had changed drastically. He didn’t like to laugh anymore, neither did he easily cry.
It was as he had become impervious to everything and everyone!
