NOVEL NEXT Chapter 372: Little Brother He Doesn't Know-III
Xiao Yun could accept the truth but Andy couldn't. She could see how Andy's green eyes became unstable. His breaths became roughed. He shot a glare to Choi Yeon Jun as if wanting to deny his words and say that he was lying but he couldn't. Deep down, somewhere in his heart he believed that Choi Yeon Jun had said the truth while Mrs. Sophia had said nothing but a great lie.
That day on his eighteen birthday, by chance he overheard Mrs. Sophia's conversation, talking about how she had been traumatized by Hernely with everything the woman had done to her. Mrs. Sophia had also said that the woman had ruined everything of her life that had Andy felt his heart broken by the guilt.
He had never held grudge against how Mrs. Sophia had abused him in his childhood but what was wrong was wrong. He could sense that Mrs. Sophia wasn't in a good mind and as her son, he believe the only thing he could do was to bear with everything. But it didn't mean he never tried to stop his mother from abusing him. However, he was only but a small child, he wasn't powerful enough to stop his mother whose eyes had turned red from rage he didn't know why it existed.
By the time he knew that Hernely was the reason why Mrs. Sophia hated him, he despised himself. He felt guilty and shameful for being the son of the woman who had ruined Mrs. Sophia's life and had even thought that he was grateful that Mrs. Sophia still took him as her own son despite how his birth mother had killed her own father.
Choi Yeon Jun studied Andy's expression and his smile became small but wide. He was good at reading people especially when it comes to digging people's weakness. He knows exactly what he had to do and proceed, "Mother's relationship with your father also wasn't bad. Instead, they were very close like an inseparable half hearts. They were always together and they had never argued. I also must to add, Sophia was the one who had pushed grandfather, he died but mother never suspect Sophia to be the one who had pushed him. It kept going on that way since then. No one knows what Sophia had done including the police." Choi Yeon Jun looked at how Andy's expression taking to anger and had the pleasure to see the anger.
Seeing the expression Choi Yeon Jun had and Andy had, Xiao Yun could feel the reason why Andy slowly tilting to help Choi Yeon Jun but she wished that before Andy forget his reason, he would notice that Choi Yeon Jun was not someone he could trust. But her wish fades to thin air like her body which was transparent to their eyes now.
"Don't you also think how weird it was for Hernely to be capable of taking you as her own son and fool everyone of how you are her son?" asked Choi Yeon Jun, bringing Andy's unstable eyes toward him.
With the guilt taking over and anger he felt burning in his heart, he didn't lie and replied truthfully, "I did." in a curt manner. He wasn't slow to make conclusion and ask, "Was it your father who had helped her?" Xiao Yun also thought of the same question to hear the man opposite at Andy reply,
"Yes." Choi Yeon Jun offered him a sympathy look but there was also the happiness he had in his heart. "The one who had killed your father, Ru Ming is my father too. Mother and your father tried to escape from my father who was crazed to marry mother which was why they had always move from one family to another."
Andy sunk in silence and his emotions that bubbling coldly. The knuckles of his clenched palm turned white and veins bobbed from the surface of his skin. They say the fastest change was when love turn to gate and hate to love and he could agree to the words. In a few minutes from the love Andy felt for Mrs. Sophia as his mother, it had turned into hate for his aunt who had been the one to destroy his mother's life.
At some point, Andy's hand which was holding the gun to Choi Yeon Jun's head had fallen low to rest beside his hips. Xiao Yun brought her hand and tried to touch Andy's hand, wanting to tell him to calm down and perhaps find a word to help him through his hard time so he wouldn't take Choi Yeon Jun's hand and fall to make mistakes. But the anger and rage had engulf his reasoning. His eyes which was in the color of green was void from emotions and a determination to clear Hernely's name from Mrs. Sophia.
Choi Yeon Jun then suddenly stood up from his seat and Andy took a step back. His hand gripped the gun was wavering to kill or not to kill him now. "Can I believe your words?" asked Andy with his eyes glancing sideways at Choi Yeon Jun who had stood right next to his left side.
Choi Yeong Jun first wondered what his question was directed at and when he found the answer, he grinned at him. "Of course. Like you I have my own objective. As long as we did everything correctly and you behave clueless like you've always did, Xiao Yun would continue to live." and Choi Yeon Jun began to walk to the door. When he reached the door and pushed for it to open, he stopped his feet, his brown eyes moving at Andy who slowly turned to look at him.
"Come with me, I'll show you something fun." said the man and out of all the words he had said throughout the conversation, this one was the most excited like a child to Andy's ear. Xiao Yun would have said no and stopped Andy if her voice could be heard but there was nothing she could do in the state she was now. It took her a while to swallow the fact that this had already happened and that she had no control or chance to stop anything,
There was the moment where Choi Yeon Jun could have screamed for help for Andy who had sneaked inside the building and it was many times on top of that. When Andy was still hesitating whether to kill or not, he had the chance to do so and he could have use other ways he had plenty in his hand which he didn't do. Andy saw that he could sense no deception from Choi Yeon Jun. Maybe it was because the man had really uttered no lie since the beginning to the end of their conversation or that he was a good liar. Or maybe it could be both.
Andy stride toward the door where Choi Yeon Jun offered him to and when he reached the corridor, two men appeared from behind. Andy turned his face, seeing one man pushing the glasses that dropped low to the bridge of his nose and another man who looked younger than than him or Choi Yeon Jun. Xiao Yun who had also followed Andy knew who the two men was, Zheng Xi Shi the crazy man and Chengye, the psychopath.
"My subordinates." Choi Yeon Jun explained starting from the left side of Andy, "Zheng Xi Shi and the other one is Tian Shi now he preferred to be called by Chengye."
"Your words were correct." Chengye grinned at Andy and as Andy wasn't in a mood to smile seeing how Chengye smile with wicked thoughts made him frown. "There really is someone who would still be able to sneak into your office." said Chengye to Choi Yeon Jun.
Chengye than took steps forward and even if Andy believe no dangerous harm should come to him now it doesn't mean he would forget to protect himself. When he saw Chengye coming close and raised his hand to his shoulder, his gun had come faster to Chengye's neck.
Chengye swiped his eyes down at the gun, his smile was unfaltering instead, it had moved further. "What's this?"
"Don't get close to me." Andy scowled. He wasn't in his best behavior now and Xiao Yun could feel that Andy wouldn't hesitate to kill Chengye if he continue to push Andy's button that had her worry to no less. Her heart breaks as she watch how Andy who had always been a kind person change into a bloodthirsty person who would kill anyone without batting an eyelid at the deaths.
Chengye also didn't stepped back. With the threaten, he seemed to be more pleased, wanting to continue and test Andy's anger. But before the fight broke out, Choi Yeon Jun cleared his throat. "I don't mind if you guys fight but can you leave it later? There should be time for you to get know each other later."
"I didn't say I would work with you." Andy dislike the all-knowing tone Choi Yeon Jun used at him.
"Of course you don't." Choi Yeon Jun brushed his words off to then turn and ask the quietest amongst them all, Zheng Xi Shi. "I will be going there now."
"I have prepared everything." said Zheng Xi Shi who then marched before Andy and Choi Yeon Jun as if to show them the way despite Choi Yeon Jun knowing the way himself.
Xiao Yun wondered where they were going. She followed their steps. Her eyes moving at the house she felt she had grown accustomed to in the past that filled her with an unsettled and uncomfortable feeling.
