Chapter 495 Just like his gentle mother
The Gao and Zhou families have different philosophies on raising children, so neither can blame the other; each family should just love its own child.
But ever since his son met the Zhou family's son, he has become completely ruined. Although Gao's father often gets furious about this, it is all in vain.
He would never believe that Gao Ziyou could go this crazy without Zhou Yichen's interference.
But what good would it do to know? His son, concerned about his reputation, wouldn't say a word. To save face for the family, he suppressed his anger and didn't even have a reason to approach the Zhou family.
After his men gave Gao Ziyou the injection, he sent them away and found a place to sit down, closing his eyes and quietly waiting for the sedative to take effect.
His hand, resting on the armrest, bounced repeatedly, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
It was only at this time that he could fully vent his dissatisfaction.
“Ziyou, you’ve made enough trouble. Kyoto is not a place for you. Staying here is not good for your physical and mental health.”
“If you keep making a scene like this, it will make things very difficult for me at home. You know that our family isn’t as harmonious as it seems on the surface. Now that you can’t help me anymore, you should give me a break.”
"Don't worry, as your father, I won't abandon you. We, father and son, must be of one mind..."
As Gao's father continued talking, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and he opened his eyes abruptly, only to find that Gao Ziyou, who should have been fast asleep, was nowhere to be seen.
He didn't call for help immediately because there were always people guarding outside the house, and if Gao Ziyou went out, it would be impossible not to alert them.
He got up, picked up the fork stick from the table, gripped it tightly in his hand, and began to examine every corner of the room.
At the same time, in order to prevent Gao Ziyou from suddenly attacking him, he changed his previous dissatisfaction and his words became more reassuring.
“Child, don’t be afraid. I’m here to help you. What you need most right now is rest. Once you’ve adjusted your mindset, we can really discuss what to do.”
...The room remained silent.
There was still no response, and Gao's father could not find Gao Ziyou anywhere.
It was at this moment that he truly began to get anxious.
"Someone come quickly!"
The person waiting outside immediately pushed open the door and went in upon hearing his summons. "Boss, what's wrong?"
The father's hand, gripping the pitchfork tightly, trembled slightly. The veins on his forehead seemed about to burst. He spoke slowly and deliberately through gritted teeth, "Turn the house upside down and find that unfilial son!"
No one had lived in this house since the Gao family acquired it; Gao Ziyou was the first member of the Gao family to move in.
In such a short time, it was already quite impressive that he, a grown man, had managed to make the place habitable. Mr. Gao never expected to find such an unexpected secret room in the cupboard.
The large cabinet made of rosewood had both doors wide open. Inside, there was nothing but a few clothes hanging on the walls. One could immediately see the dark, gaping hole in the back panel of the cabinet, which was silently mocking Gao's father.
Mr. Gao was so angry that he laughed.
Good, good, so I was already on guard against him!
But when he thought about his infuriating son and the huge stain on his reputation, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Go in and see where it leads, then find him as soon as possible!"
After the others chased after them, the person who had given Gao Ziyou the injection pursed his lips and comforted him:
“Father, the dosage of my eldest brother’s injection was quite large. He may lose his mobility and fall asleep at any time. He won’t go far. We’ll find him soon. Don’t worry.”
The second son's words of comfort did little to ease the father's mind. He sighed deeply, "Ziyang, you're not a soldier, so you don't have to worry about these things at home. Your eldest brother carries all the hopes of our family, and right now... sigh!"
The child we spent so much time raising has been ruined. Even if we start to raise the second son with all our might now, is it too late?
Whenever Gao's father brought up this topic, Gao Ziyang would look guilty.
“Father, it’s not my eldest brother’s fault. It’s my mother who didn’t do a good enough job, which made him hold a grudge and even distance himself from you. That’s why he turned out this way.”
But don't worry, I will definitely work hard to study the medical challenges in psychology so that my brother can recover as soon as possible.
Mr. Gao patted Gao Ziyang on the back with great satisfaction, his expression much more kind than when he was facing Gao Ziyou.
“Ziyang, I know you’re a good kid. Your older brother is just too radical. He’s very hostile towards you, your mother, and even your younger brother. I’m really happy that you’re still so considerate of him, especially since you even went to study medicine for him. At the same time, I feel guilty. They’re all my children, yet I’ve always made you suffer.”
He has really let down his wife and children.
Gao Ziyang's mother was his second wife. Ever since their marriage, she had been targeted by his eldest son, Gao Ziyou. Later, he developed a mental illness, which made him even more reckless.
Countless times he had seen Ziyang's mother secretly wiping away tears behind his back, but when he asked her about it, she would always smile understandingly and say that nothing was wrong and that he shouldn't worry.
In order to ease the tension with her eldest son, his wife devoted a lot of energy to him, thus neglecting Ziyang and his younger brother, and was often complained about by the two brothers.
These wives never complained to him once; she endured it all silently on her own.
Gao Ziyang simply smiled at his father's praise and continued the previous topic.
"Since Father has brought my eldest brother home this time, let's not let him go out to work. Various factors outside may stimulate his sensitive and violent heart. It's better to let him stay at home and recuperate in peace."
"Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to treat your brother, and I am absolutely confident that I can make his mental world even more indestructible."
But Gao's father hesitated.
In fact, this wasn't the first time Gao Ziyang had brought up this matter. He had almost accepted the proposal many times, but then he had more concerns.
Gao Ziyou is able to go to work and come and go as he pleases. To outsiders, he seems perfectly normal and has no problems whatsoever.
If they suddenly lock him in his house and he doesn't see anyone, how will outsiders guess what's going on in his family?
“Ziyang, I know you are thinking of Ziyou wholeheartedly, but this matter has a great impact and we can’t make a decision so easily. Let me think about it some more.”
Gao Ziyang heard these words every time.
He knew it was his father's excuse, but he always only touched on it briefly. Some things shouldn't be done too actively, otherwise it often backfires.
As always, Gao Ziyang looked at his father with a look of filial piety, "Yes, Father, I just feel too sorry for my elder brother, but you have your reasons, and I respect and understand them."
Mr. Gao couldn't help but sigh again.
Oh, what a wonderful son!
If this child, like the eldest son, enjoys wielding sticks and spears, he would definitely do his best to cultivate him.
I don't know if there's any hope for my youngest son.
He lowered his eyes, deep in thought about the possibility of raising his youngest son. Gao Ziyang stood silently behind him, his face bearing his usual gentle smile.
Just like his gentle mother.
