Chapter 147 Parallel Space ()
"You two stop gossiping. It's better not to discuss this kind of thing." Lin Xiaoyu interrupted them.
Everyone nodded. Although they were curious, they did not dare to discuss it loudly.
After all, the Wu family has a very important status in the imperial capital, so ordinary people like them should not get too involved.
On the other side, Wu Bai drove himself and took Wu Kairui home.
Along the way, Wu Kairui seemed a little nervous. He didn't know why his brother suddenly came to pick him up.
Back home, Wu Bai sat on the sofa and looked at Wu Kairui expressionlessly: "Tell me, what did you do in school?"
Wu Kairui lowered his head and said weakly: "I just went to bars and KTVs with my classmates a few times. I didn't do anything bad."
Wu Bai sneered, "I didn't do anything bad, do you think I don't know anything?"
Wu Kairui muttered softly: "It's enough for my parents to have a child like you. I'm just a waste."
Wu Bai's eyes sharpened: "Have you always thought this way?"
Wu Kairui was so frightened by his brother's aura that he dared not speak anymore, but he was very indignant in his heart. His parents never cared about him, they only cared about his brother. So who would care what he did!
Wu Bai was so angry at his brother's words that his chest heaved violently. He frowned and coughed twice in his throat, trying to calm himself down.
Just at this moment, the vehicle stopped steadily in the courtyard of the villa.
Wu Bai didn't even look at Wu Kairui. He pushed the car door open with force, strode back to his room, and slammed the door shut. The sound echoed in the empty villa.
Wu Kairui swallowed his saliva. He could feel his brother's anger. Otherwise, why did he leave in such a hurry? He felt a little uneasy. He had always been in awe of this serious and unsmiling brother.
He knew that he had spoken too impulsively just now and might have angered his brother.
Although his brother was very good to him, he always felt aggrieved. From childhood to adulthood, people always compared him with his brother. No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to get no recognition.
Carrying his schoolbag, he slowly walked into the living room and just happened to see the butler arranging the vases in the living room.
When the housekeeper saw Wu Kairui, a loving smile immediately appeared on his face. He walked up to take his schoolbag and asked gently, "Young Master, why are you back now?"
The frustration in Wu Kairui's heart surged up again, and he said unhappily: "It was my brother who took me back." There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
The butler was stunned for a moment. He had just seen the eldest young master with a bad look on his face when he came back, but he didn't expect the young master to come back so soon.
It seemed that there was a dispute between the two. He had always thought that the young master was just in a rebellious period and liked to play outside, but he didn't expect that the problem seemed to be more serious than he thought.
The housekeeper sighed and said earnestly, "The eldest young master still cares about you very much."
Wu Kairui sneered, with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Be good to me? He only has work in his eyes. He is the good son of his parents, and I am the only bad person. Anyway, everything in the family will belong to my brother in the future. What does it have to do with me?"
When the butler heard this, he was stunned for a long time. He finally understood why the young master had become like this.
He looked at Wu Kairui and said in a heavy tone, "Young Master, everything in the family will actually be yours in the future. The eldest master got sick many years ago and won't live long. He has been holding on until you are able to inherit."
"Are you lying to me?" Wu Kairui's eyes widened immediately.
The butler's waist seemed to be more bent, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes. "The eldest young master fell ill after the incident fifteen years ago. He was ill for a long time and attempted suicide many times. Madam and sir took the young master to the hospital for treatment for a long time, but it was ineffective. It happened that Madam was pregnant at that time, so you kept the eldest young master. Madam asked him to wait until you were able to inherit the family business and grow up. You have always been the pillar of the eldest young master's life, do you know?"
These words pierced Wu Kairui's heart like a thorn.
Wu Kairui's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene from many years ago. At that time, he was still an innocent child, always chasing after his brother's shadow.
He remembered that his brother always looked at him secretly, his eyes filled with some emotion that he could not understand at the time.
At that time, he liked his brother very much and always wanted to stick to him, but there was always an aura about his brother that scared him. He now understood that the aura was death and despair.
Although his brother was not often close to him at that time, he would take him to and from school every day, rain or shine.
As time passed, Wu Kairui grew up, began to have his own circle of friends, and gradually became estranged from his brother.
But he could always feel that his brother's eyes were becoming more and more complicated, and that look contained too many things that he could not understand.
He still remembered that there was a period of time when his brother and parents would always quietly leave for a while. Every time they came back, his brother's eyes would become deeper and his parents would look more tired.
Although he was curious at that time, he never investigated further. Now, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with all this.
He stared at the housekeeper and asked in a trembling voice, "My brother and my parents always left for a while. Can you tell me what they were doing?"
A trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in the housekeeper's eyes. He lost his temper and said in a heavy voice, "Young Master's suicidal tendencies always appear and disappear. Madam and sir will take Young Master to get psychological counseling. We never told you because we were afraid that you were too young to bear such pressure."
Wu Kairui seemed to be frozen in place, with a storm of emotions rising in his heart.
All his jealousy and dissatisfaction seemed like a ridiculous joke at this moment.
For so many years, he had been doing stupid things, trying to attract their attention by using extreme methods and rebellious behaviors, but in fact they had always loved him and had been silently enduring great pain for him.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his heart was filled with self-blame and regret.
He had been wrong all along, his brother, his family, had never stopped loving him.
But he has always been like a willful child, ignoring this deep love.
At this moment, Wu Kairui felt his heart hit hard, and he knew he had to make a change.
