Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: You are Confused

Gong Chen continued peeling the apple with his knife, his movements slow and seemingly casual, yet emanating an unwelcoming chill.

"A girlfriend who sends women to her own father, and you ask me to have Second Brother marry her? Then watch as she continues to send women your way to curry favor?"

Old Mr. Gong looked at Gong Chen incredulously, clenching his fists tightly.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Gong Chen, with his eyes downcast and speaking deliberately, said: "Didn’t that woman stop seeking you out afterwards? Because Second Brother dealt with her personally. You might have forgotten since, in your eyes, women are like clothes; unless the old is gone, the new will not come."

"..."

Old Mr. Gong’s lips trembled slightly.

"Eldest Brother was already three when he came to the Gong Family, but Second Brother was sent to the Gong Family right from birth. He was raised day and night by my mother herself. In his heart, my mother is his biological mother, and he couldn’t face my mom after seeing the betrayal of his girlfriend and father."

"Why do you dislike Liu He so much? Apart from her having no background and a daughter of unknown paternity, there must be other reasons, right?"

After speaking, Gong Chen lifted his eyes and glared coldly at the old man.

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Gong’s cheeks, which retained some color, began to turn pale inch by inch.

He gasped for air, glaring at Gong Chen, signaling him to stop speaking.

Gong Chen continued, enunciating each word: "During the time you were injured at the racetrack, Liu He immediately took care of you. Afterward, you grew to dislike her more and more. Not because she took bad care of you, but because she saw someone she shouldn’t have."

"Who was the woman riding horses with you?"

"Enough!" Old Mr. Gong suddenly started coughing, his body trembling slightly against the pillow.

The butler hurriedly stepped forward to help him catch his breath.

"I didn’t even know I had a sister, nor did I know how well she and her daughter are living in New Zealand. If not for Liu He’s simple-mindedness and lack of overthinking, with such explosive secrets, she would have established herself in the Gong Family long ago."

Old Mr. Gong was stunned, a flash of guilt crossing his eyes, but it was fleeting.

He stood at the pinnacle of power, having experienced the adoration of many women and manipulated the lives and deaths of others.

One might say he was arrogant, but he indeed had the capability to be arrogant.

Even at this age, he was still covertly controlling many matters and people.

The Gong Family was like a vast net; what was visible was the flourishing prosperity of a great family, hidden were tangled interests and complex intricacies.

This is the reality, the more uncomfortable it is, the harder it is to eradicate.

Old Mr. Gong casually and calmly said: "They, mother and daughter, won’t threaten you and will never step into the Gong Family’s gates. They just occasionally come back to the country to see me."

In Old Mr. Gong’s view, this was not a big deal, just a mistake all men in the world would make.

Upon hearing this, Gong Chen applied force to the knife in his hand, and the apple skin snapped and fell to the ground.

He chuckled coldly, "My mom is your most beloved woman? How many women have you told that to?"

"Your mother is in the Gong Family’s ancestral hall! She is my only wife! After her death, why didn’t I remarry if not because I recognized her?" Old Mr. Gong emphasized.

During the argument, the apple was peeled.

Gong Chen lifted the apple, staring at the marks gouged out forcefully.

Old Mr. Gong watched him silently, thinking he acknowledged his words and looked somewhat relieved.

He even looked somewhat like a benevolent father.

"Gong Chen, although you are cold by nature, I know you value emotions profoundly. You cherish the things left by your mom; otherwise, you wouldn’t still keep the scarf and sweater she knitted for you over a decade ago."

"As long as you do the things I ask you to do, all these will be yours."

Gong Chen remained indifferent and silent, as if he had long been accustomed to Old Mr. Gong’s rhetoric.

When his mother died, he was still young, and the inheritance she left was entirely controlled by Old Mr. Gong, his guardian.

Ever since he took over the Gong Group, he has been striving to stand firm, all for the sake of reclaiming his mother’s belongings.
