Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 217: Canβt Be Biased Anymore
If he had cared even a little for his son Gong Tao back then, would things have been different?
If he had not helped any of his sons that time and let them develop on their own, now, whenever he went out, people would say he has an impressive son. πππππ¬πππ·ππΏππ‘.ππΈπ
Gong Dajiang dared not imagine that scene, "Hey, just keep watching your gate well in the future."
Gong Dajiang knew there would be fights between his sons too, but knowing someone would get ahead, to do such a thing, is this even human?
Moreover, knowing Gong Qiang is a person without ability, Gong Dajiang wouldnβt be willing to support him either, no matter how much money or resources are spent on him, no matter how much of the sonsβ prospects are filled in, he is just an incompetent fool who canβt be helped.
At this moment, Gong Dajiang suddenly remembered that it was for such an idiot that both Gong Tao and Gong Zhengβs prospects had been ruined.
No, itβs Gong Tao who ruined it, Gong Zheng still has a chance to rise again.
If there was only one opportunity to help a son, Gong Dajiang would only be willing to give it to Gong Zheng.
"Get lost, donβt think I will help you again." Gong Dajiang indicated for Gong Qiang to roll out quickly; he really didnβt want to see this idiotβs face, seeing his face brought too many reminders.
The aura Gong Qiang felt from Gong Dajiang scared him to the point his legs went weak, hearing he could finally get lost, he left, practically rolling and crawling.
Gong Dajiang went into the room and grabbed Gong Zheng, "Apologize to your mom."
Gong Zheng stood there, unwilling to apologize, even though his words were a bit overboard, but wasnβt mom at fault too?
"I wonβt apologize, in her eyes, itβs only about big brother."
Seeing Gong Dajiang enter the room, Zhang Lan was initially quite worried, afraid the old man would ask if she knew about Gong Taoβs promotion beforehand. Honestly, she really didnβt know, but would the old man believe it?
Unexpectedly, the first thing the old man said after coming in was asking Gong Zheng to apologize to her, she was quite happy.
"Donβt worry, I know." She could express her grievance, say they didnβt understand the heart of elders, but with more and more children accusing her of favoritism, could Gong Dajiang ignore it?
"How could I dare think of finding a way to make you get ahead with your attitude?" Gong Dajiang obliquely hypothesized.
Let him get ahead? Ha ha ha, treating him like a three-year-old? The old man has already stepped down, how can he help him forge relationships?
If he really had this ability, why not act when he was just demoted, why wait until now?
Itβs all just a sham, huh, Gong Zheng bit his teeth, "Iβll head to my room and see how Wu Rui is doing."
Gong Zheng turned around and opened the door to leave, as for what the old man would do afterward, Gong Zheng didnβt think about it, after all compared to his mistakes, Gong Qiangβs issues were the biggest.
As long as Gong Qiang was there as the idiot forefront, he was safe; he could apologize to the old man later when the time was right.
With only them two in the room, Zhang Lan was worried seeing the old manβs complexion looking bad, "Look at Gong Zhengβs attitude..."
As Zhang Lan was about to explain the cause of their prior discord to avoid the old man thinking she favored someone again.
If Zhang Lan felt any bit of guilt towards Gong Zheng before, after hearing his accusations and refusal to admit wrong, she felt none at all.
Such a rebellious son who only had his wife in his eyes didnβt deserve her kindness, but the old man seemed eager to make amends to this son, how could this work?
Zhang Lan thought over and over, though the eldest sonβs ability wasnβt great, his kindness to her as a mother was great, always cheering her up.
"Alright, I know." How could Gong Dajiang not apologize to Gong Zheng, was it because he wasnβt willing to speak up as the old man?
But besides Gong Zheng, who else was there to promote? "Alright, Iβm tired."
Gong Dajiang lay down on the bed, ready to sleep; he had to think about how to write to Gong Tao for help.
Seeing Gong Dajiang lying on the bed, Zhang Lan was restless in the room, she contemplated going to advise Gong Qiang.
At this crucial time, she couldnβt let Gong Qiang harbor thoughts against Gong Dajiang, though Gong Qiang wasnβt great, Gong Zheng wasnβt someone the old man was satisfied with either.
To Zhang Lan, sheβd rely on the eldest son for her days; she couldnβt let the eldest grandson suffer, Gong Qiang couldnβt keep just watching the gate.
Seeing Zhang Lanβs figure in the room, though Gong Qiang was displeased with her, he knew he couldnβt offend his mother after offending the old man.
Gong Qiang kept apologizing to Zhang Lan, about not wanting to make her uneasy regarding the matter with Gong Tao.
Seeing the considerate Gong Qiang, Zhang Lan felt sweet inside, no matter what, her eldest son only had eyes for her.
In her joy, Zhang Lan revealed all the things discussed with the old couple previously to Gong Qiang.
Gong Qiang was shocked; he hadnβt expected his old man to be so flexible, knowing before he returned, he had said he wouldnβt watch Gong Taoβs face.
"Son, listen to your mom, donβt go against your dad, or the good opportunities will fall to Gong Zheng." Zhang Lan kept advising Gong Qiang.
Gong Qiang really wanted to roll his eyes, was he that stupid that heβd give up such a good opportunity, especially to Gong Zheng?
After todayβs fuss, Gong Zheng surely harbored no hatred towards him, "Mom, donβt worry, I know Iβm a bit selfish, but my feelings towards you two old ones, mom, you know them."
Gong Qiang had a face that looked ready to cry but couldnβt, looking all sorts of aggrieved, if Gong Ruini were present, sheβd probably say he was overacting, that his acting couldnβt be considered.
But as long as Zhang Lan liked it, no matter how exaggerated, it was fine; seeing the grievance on her sonβs face, Zhang Lanβs heart almost broke.
"I know, I know, itβs all Gong Zhengβs fault."
"That guy wonβt have a good life."
"With only eyes for his wife." Zhang Lan indicated all this wasnβt Gong Qiangβs fault, even if he were a bit selfish, some things were past, why bring them up?
"I used to think he was good, now it seems heβs the worst, just like Gong Tao." Zhang Lanβs hatred towards Gong Zheng could rival that towards Gong Tao.
When mother and son were venting about Gong Zheng, they didnβt bother checking if anyone heard them, perhaps to them, it didnβt matter as they thought they ruled the house, as long as they pleased Gong Dajiang.
Taking out the trash, Gong Zheng naturally didnβt miss Zhang Lan and son railing at him; toward such a biased mother, all he could do was glance coldly.
Since his mother saw him this way, he was right not to apologize earlier, even if he did, sheβd only think of him negatively, just like his wife said, apart from Wu Family, others treated him coldly.
Back then, when he was successful, they all crowded him to seek help, and now, seeing him down and out, each of them... canβt even think, donβt dare think.
If some people did it once, they shouldnβt blame him for retaliating later.
