Chapter 664 - The shocking truth (1/2)

Guan Gu Ri's heart clenched. He put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

”Xixin, don't think about the succession for now. With me as the head of the family, Gao Huan will not cross the line and use his authority to suppress you. Right now, what is important is to nurse you back to health. Grandpa will not like to see you like this--”

”Don't mention that name for that fraud, brother!” Guan Xixin pushed him away.

Guan Gu Ri was stunned by his brother's hostile expression. ”Xixin?”

”How could you, brother? I can't believe that you allowed that fake bastard to inherit the Guan Empire! Why can't you open your eyes? You're losing everything the family had worked hard for to a fraudster!”

Guan Gu Ri opened his mouth to reason with him, but Guan Xixin was full of emotion.

Like a dam that broke, he poured out his frustrated emotions.

”You and Grandpa didn't believe me at all. Until the end, he died… He died not knowing the truth!”

Guan Xixin's soulless eyes moistened. Tears welled up and threatened to come down.

Guan Gu Ri halted.

The truth...?

The matter of the scandal crossed his mind.

A chill rose in Guan Gu Ri's back. ”W-what are you saying Xixin? Are you still in that delusion about third brother? The news are just nonsensical. Haven't we done tests before?”

”Eldest brother!” Guan Xixin yelled. His eyes became colder as he looked down on the files that Guan Xixin was still holding.

It was the doc.u.ment containing the details of the news. The evidence that proved that the man everyone thought as their third brother was nothing but a fake.

This was no longer reasonable, this was plain in denial!

Guan Xixin clenched his fists and laughed exasperatedly.

”You already have those evidences in your hands yet you still want to play blind? Brother, how great is your guilt towards Gao Huan that you don't want to admit the truth to yourself?”

Guan Gu Ri's eyes turned wide.

His hand shook.

Guan Xixin: ”Brother, wake up. No matter how much you want to deny the truth, all evidences are here. You can check it all you want, and the truth will still remain. Our real third brother is already gone. Our little Huan is gone! He died alone! He died without waking up!”

A big thunder clapped in Guan Gu Ri's mind.

The blurred thought that he was trying to deny until the very end, the instinct that he was trying to push down, and the suspicions and doubts he locked away…

They all poured out from his mind again.

The time that Guan Gao Huan first appeared was five years ago.

Those unfamiliar eyes and the unreal smile.

….None of it was their brother's.

No matter how much Guan Gu Ri made excuses that his brother had just changed over the years, that uncanny feeling in his heart never went away.
