Chapter 648 - Taking off the mask (1/2)

All heads turned towards the direction of Guan Gao Huan's frantic shout.

”Grandpa!”

Guan Gao Huan ignored all the sympathetic eyes looking at him and ran towards the bed hurriedly.

As he was about to take one of the hands of the old man, Guan Xixin suddenly stood up and shoved him away in anger.

”You have no right to call him Grandpa! You fake!”

Guan Gao Huan was pushed back so suddenly that he tripped and fell to the floor on a heap.

Guan Gu Ri frowned and stopped the volatile Guan Xixin from coming towards Guan Gao Huan.

”Xixin! What are you doing?! Stop it!”

His grandfather was dying, yet this fake was still living under their roof and comfortably stealing his third brother's identity!

It should be his real third brother who should be here!

”He has no right! Our third brother cannot even spend this important moment with our grandfather, all because of this fake! What if grandfather... what if grandfather gives up and he never sees our real Gao Huan again?!” Guan Xixin could not bear to say the word 'die' again.

He vented all his anger and unwillingness on this fake who stole everything that his third brother should have.

”This was all because of this fake! It's all your fault!”

Guan Xixin was too mad and disappointed that everyone had withheld such grave information from him. He was very upset that he had just learned today that his grandfather was actually extremely sick.

Had he learned this much earlier, he would not have wasted so much time about the succession trial! He would have spent his time finding his real third brother instead!

Then his grandfather... his grandfather and third brother could at least reunite, even in his grandfather's last moments.

Alas, his grandfather seemed like he was going to disappear anytime today.

Guan Xixin's nose soured and his reddened eyes blurred with tears. He broke away forcefully from Guan Gu Ri's hold and rushed towards the fallen Guan Gao Huan on the floor.

His fists rose and punched the man's face. He landed two more hits before Guan Gu Ri and the head butler finally managed to separate him from the beaten up Guan Gao Huan.

”Xixin! Stop it! What are you doing in front of grandfather!”

But Guan Xixin was lost in his rage and grief. He struggled crazedly. He wanted to rip off that fake bastard's face!

”S-stop...”

An old man's weak voice was drowned by the noise in the room, but the head butler heard it.

The head butler could not let go of Guan Xixin and pleaded piteously. ”Second Young Master, please stop. Master is asking you to stop. Please, get hold of your anger.”

When Guan Xixin's rage was still unstoppable, Guan Gu Ri clenched and unclenched his fist, then slapped his second brother hard on the face.

Smack!

The sound was very loud and crisp that everybody in the room fell quiet.

Guan Xixin's head was swung to the side. A red palm print was visible on his cheek. A little blood trickled to the side of his mouth and his ears rang.

It was a slap infused with a bit of qi.

Seeing the man calm down, Guan Gu Ri finally let him go. His voice was cold. ”Get out of the room and clear your head.”
