Chapter 614 A Good Thing That Would Strike Like a Lightning Bolt
When Grandpa Gao and the others heard Gao Ziyou's hoarse, strained voice, they all looked at him. However, Grandma Gao hesitated and dared not make a move when she tried to go over and offer her some comfort, because she was frightened by a glare from Grandpa Gao.
"My dear grandson, keep your voice down. I finally managed to persuade them to put you and Grandpa in the same room so they can take better care of you. There are also special agents guarding outside. They'll take you away as soon as they know you're awake!"
Although Old Mrs. Gao didn't move, she kept talking. She felt terrible just thinking about the special agents guarding outside the door. Being hospitalized felt like being in prison. Everyone was watching her every move and every word. She had never been treated like this before.
Meanwhile, the special agents who had retreated from the ward because Old Madam Gao disregarded her status and kept complaining and insulting her had already noticed the commotion inside. They sent out two people, one to find the doctor to move the prisoner and the other to notify Zhou Yichen.
Still unaware that his eldest son was dead, Old Master Gao scolded Gao Ziyou in a low voice, filled with resentment for his lack of ambition, "What can you do to Su Zihang now? When will you realize your situation? Our family is not what it used to be. If you continue to act recklessly, no one can protect you!"
What you did in the army will only be a stain on our reputation, a stain on the entire Gao family. Even if you're unhappy about it, you'd better keep it to yourself!
No one came to help him up, so Gao Ziyou propped himself up and got up on his own, ignoring all his grandfather's words. In his eyes, his grandfather was also unqualified.
Whether it was his own growth or his involvement with Yu Jing, he saw that no matter how comforting one's words may be, people are inherently biased from the start.
The old man's reason for protecting him in so many ways was simply to prevent his eldest son from falling into ruin.
Judging from recent events, Gao Ziyou understands this perfectly.
Previously, there were still Gao Ziyang and Gao Zishuo to pin their hopes on, so most of the time they ignored him and gave him a job in the Public Security Bureau, which was considered their best effort. But when Yu Jing's affair was exposed, the old man's first thought was to assist the Central Special Branch in handling the case and try to make amends. Then, after Yu Jing was arrested, he quickly sent Gao Ziyang to the countryside to work as an educated youth. He said it was to appease him, but in reality, he was afraid that Gao Ziyang would kill him.
I have to admit that old ginger is still spicy.
"I'll handle my own affairs. If you're afraid of being implicated, just cut ties with me. After all, the first wife has another son, doesn't she?"
Gao Ziyou stood up unsteadily, lowered his head and glanced at Old Master Gao with an indescribable coldness in his expression, even curling his lips into a smile, "To avoid being angered to death by me, I advise you to do it this way!"
After saying that, he was about to walk out.
Old Master Gao's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that Gao Ziyou, who would still show him tenderness even in his madness, would suddenly be so disobedient. For a moment, his face turned red, his neck thickened, and his hands began to tremble.
Grandma Gao quickly patted his back, crying in a trembling voice, "Old man, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
The Gao family's daughter, who was waiting in the ward, was also terrified and didn't know what to do. "Dad, don't be angry. Ziyou is just delirious from the fever."
Then she turned to Gao Ziyou and said sternly with a sob in her voice, "Ziyou, have you lost your mind? Hurry up and apologize to your grandfather!"
Her second and third brothers stayed with her all night yesterday, and now they've gone out to handle her eldest brother's funeral arrangements. How can she take care of two elderly people all by herself?
Gao Ziyou continued to move towards the door, showing no intention of stopping. He didn't even give him a glance, only coldly suggesting, "Finding a doctor is more useful than finding me. Old man, your son is in such a state, you're really useless. He probably won't live much longer either. I've always wanted him dead. If you really take him down, you'll be doing me a favor!"
Old Master Gao froze abruptly. These words were utterly treasonous, practically a curse wishing him and his eldest son dead.
Old Mrs. Gao was touched on a painful memory. Since learning of her eldest son's death yesterday, her heart had been breaking. Hearing Gao Ziyou's heartless words, she could no longer suppress her grief and immediately began to sob and cry.
Although the Gao family daughter who was by his side had many complaints about her elder brother, it was no use saying anything now that he was dead. So she directly scolded Gao Ziyou, "How could you be so heartless? The Gao family raised you and you don't even show any affection. You'll be struck by lightning!"
"Struck by lightning? Good aunt, if that were to happen, your good older brother would be the first one to be struck!"
Gao Ziyou sneered, his words filled with hatred for his own father.
Aunt Gao was so angry she lost her mind. The words she had said she would keep from the old man immediately spilled out, "Then you can laugh out loud now. Your father died yesterday, on his way to the hospital. Are you satisfied now?!"
Gao Ziyou was stunned, completely taken aback by the news. He stared at her, wide-eyed, "What did you say!"
The Gao family daughter, realizing what she had said, felt a chill in her heart and quickly turned to look at her father. She saw him looking at his mother, who was crying uncontrollably, with a pale face and disbelief. His lips were moving incessantly, trying to say something, but he couldn't utter a single syllable. Then, he closed his eyes and fainted.
The ward erupted in screams, "Ah, Dad, what's wrong?!"
"Old man, old man, wake up! Doctor, doctor, come quick, doctor..."
