“Oh, I get it. So Gong Ze was young and naive back then. He met some woman while out partying, and after just starting to date — before they even slept together — they got married.”
“But that woman was actually a single mother who had abandoned her own child. However, she still had a shred of conscience left and didn’t want to send her biological son to an orphanage. So she found an honest, kind-hearted sucker, tricked him into marriage, and then dumped the child at Gong Ze’s house, hoping someone else would raise her child while she went off to enjoy her freedom. She ran off. Am I right?”
Jiang Lin’an finished summarizing.
Feng Yuan let out a breath through his nose, tacitly agreeing.
He raised a hand to rub his aching, stuffy nose bridge, closing his eyes as he massaged it and nodded. After learning the truth, he had also been shocked. He only found it absurd and bizarre.
“Holy shit…”
Jiang Lin’an and Ji Huai were dumbfounded.
“Can things like this really happen in the real world?”
“Heh. The real world is far more bizarre than this.”
While Jiang Lin’an’s brain CPU was smoking, Ji Huai said quietly to Jiang Lin’an, “So Gong Ze is also a victim. Although it’s a bit unsettling that he was married, it’s not like he and his ex-wife did anything. And the kid isn’t his. The fact that he’s raising him shows he’s loyal and kind.”
“…Yeah.”
Feng Yuan said, “Gong Ze really is good.”
Jiang Lin’an choked upon hearing this. He glared at Feng Yuan with a sarcastic smile.
He would bet that, back when he had misunderstood things, Feng Yuan had definitely wanted to kill Gong Ze. Now it’s good? He’s good? And you’ve already beaten him up. Heh.
“You, of all people… You deserve this!”
“…”
The person being cursed, however, had lost his explosive temper. He lowered his head and accepted the scolding.
Feng Yuan looked down, thinking, Gong Ze has no faults.
He was beautiful, had a good personality, was loyal and kind. Although his family background wasn’t good, he was poor, and he had been deceived in love, he hadn’t taken it out on the child. He was still kind, almost to the point of foolishness.
“He didn’t have much money to begin with. When the child got sick and was in the ICU, he went to that club to try to get some money to save him.”
Hearing this, Ji Huai and Jiang Lin’an were deeply shaken.
This wasn’t a sucker. This was clearly a candidate for ‘Moving Chinese Figures’!
As Feng Yuan said this, guilt twisted his brows. His voice hoarse with remorse, he said, “But I hurt him…”
Gong Ze would probably break up with him.
No!
He couldn’t let that happen!
He and Gong Ze had done everything together. Although he had said it was just playing around, things had gone far beyond that now.
If, if Gong Ze asked to break up…
Feng Yuan’s breath caught in his chest, and a dull pain throbbed.
But this was indeed his fault.
He had been driven mad by anger at the time, his reason completely replaced by fury, and he had beaten the man without a second thought.
After learning the truth, Feng Yuan was filled with regret. He wanted to talk to Gong Ze, but Gong Ze was holding the child and completely ignoring him.
And the child looked at him as if he were a bad guy. Under that gaze, Feng Yuan was speechless. Embarrassed, he lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.
But then something occurred to him. Feng Yuan clenched his jaw and asked Jiang Lin’an and Ji Huai darkly, “What about Gao Chun? We’ve been friends since childhood. How many times have I helped him? And this is how he repays me? He stabs me in the back?! If I catch him, I’ll never let him off!”
Ji Huai, who was closer to Gao Chun, was taken aback. “What did he do? What does he have to do with this?”
Jiang Lin’an was confused. “When you got into trouble, I sent him a message. Normally, you’d think we’d both get here, and he wouldn’t.”
Hearing this, Feng Yuan was so angry he let out a series of cold laughs.
“He didn’t come because he doesn’t dare to come! He was the one who told me that Gong Ze was married and had a child. At the time, I thought he had an ulterior motive, but I was in a hurry to find Gong Ze and didn’t have time to ask him. But the information he gave me was incomplete.”
“After reading what he sent me, I thought Gong Ze was still married and that the child was his biological son!”
“What exactly was he trying to do? Huh?!”
The more Feng Yuan spoke, the redder his eyes became. Thinking that Gong Ze would break up with him, that he would become disillusioned, Feng Yuan was filled with regret.
And the more he regretted, the more he hated Gao Chun.
Finally, Feng Yuan stood up, his chest heaving violently, and smashed his phone on the ground, roaring, “Does he just hate seeing me happy? How many times have I helped him, and this is how he repays me? He stabs me in the back?! He better not let me catch him. If I catch him, I’ll never let him off!”
Ji Huai and Jiang Lin’an were astonished.
They were speechless.
“What’s wrong with Gao Chun…”
The four of them had been friends since childhood. They had a great relationship. When they were younger, Gao Chun had been not only gloomy, withdrawn, and solitary, but also a little Beta who wasn’t well-liked in their circle.
As for Gao Chun’s family, both his parents were a Beta and an Omega. Plus, in those wealthy households, there was some gender discrimination.
Except for Alphas, they didn’t consider children of other genders as heirs in their eyes.
Omegas were slightly better — at least they had a gland. But Betas, in the eyes of some wealthy families, were very… emmm…
And Feng Yuan, despite his bad temper, actually had a good heart. Seeing Gao Chun treated like an invisible person, Feng Yuan had a moment of softness and took the initiative to include Gao Chun in their little group.
He remembered a time when Gao Chun and Feng Yuan had a particularly good relationship. Even Jiang Lin’an had been jealous.
Until secondary differentiation.
Jiang Lin’an and Ji Huai became Alphas. Meanwhile, Gao Chun, despite his family secretly giving him medication to promote differentiation, still failed his secondary differentiation. He remained a Beta.
As for Feng Yuan, to everyone’s astonishment, he became an Omega.
It seemed that around that time, Gao Chun had changed a lot. His relationship with Feng Yuan wasn’t as good, and he became quieter, sometimes looking strangely melancholic.
But no matter what, Feng Yuan had been Gao Chun’s benefactor.
Had Gao Chun gone crazy, stabbing Feng Yuan in the back?
“How should I know!”
Although Feng Yuan was angry, his reasoning was still intact. Just because Gao Chun had informed on someone didn’t make him a good person. Replaying the incident in his mind afterward, he didn’t blindly conclude that Gao Chun simply disliked him.
The probability of Gao Chun suddenly stabbing him in the back was low.
So, if you went through this incident, picked out the victim, and eliminated himself, who Gao Chun was trying to hurt became clear…
Feng Yuan narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, “Does Gao Chun have his eye on Gong Ze?”
Jiang Lin’an and Ji Huai were stunned.
“That’s…”
It was actually possible.
“Gao Chun is a very sensitive person,” Ji Huai spoke. “Probably because he was neglected by his parents since childhood. Gao Chun has a strong possessiveness toward his friends. Maybe… he might feel that Feng Yuan’s time and attention have been taken away by Gong Ze. He dislikes Gong Ze and wanted to break you up.”
After hearing this, Feng Yuan’s eyes turned bloodshot with hatred for him.
Strong possessiveness? Because he sees him as a friend?
Is that how you treat a friend?!
Even Jiang Lin’an muttered, “Psycho.”
Good brothers naturally want the best for each other. Even if they often tease, afraid their brother will suffer but also afraid their brother will drive a Land Rover — but Feng Yuan had spent the first eighteen years of his life thinking he would become an Alpha. Then he presented as an Omega. That was already bad enough.
It was like: you and your boyfriend are about to get married and have a baby, so you go for a check-up. The doctor says, “Ha ha, young lady, you’re actually a man. You can’t get pregnant. You don’t have a uterus.”
You ask the doctor, “What do I do? I’m about to marry my boyfriend.”
The doctor smiles and says, “You can still be brothers. How tragic.”
Or it was like: you’re a man and a straight guy, but then one day, they cut off your dick…
Tell me, wasn’t that tragic?
Feng Yuan, who radiated Alpha energy, was actually an Omega who hated Alphas.
A rich, handsome man who had been single his whole life. Finally, the heavens opened their eyes and he found Gong Ze, who radiated Omega energy but was actually an Alpha.
Especially since Gong Ze was beautiful, quiet, and even though the child wasn’t his, he was still willing to sell everything he owned to raise him.
His life was already hard enough. You, because you’re afraid your friend will be taken away, pull a stunt like this? If Feng Yuan hadn’t stopped, he would have strangled Gong Ze to death, and the two of them would have died together!
Because Feng Yuan himself wouldn’t have wanted to live either.
“Isn’t that just trying to ruin someone?!”
Jiang Lin’an and Ji Huai were furious. They wanted to drag the person out and beat him up just to vent their anger.
Just as Jiang Lin’an was pacing back and forth, his hands on his hips, and Ji Huai was calling Gao Chun repeatedly, muttering curses under his breath, the sound of footsteps stopped in front of them.
The three of them looked up.
The beautiful Alpha, his lashes lowered, looked at Feng Yuan, who had frozen, his face turning pale. The blood on his collar, the injuries on his neck, and the gauze on his nose bridge made all three of them unable to lift their heads.
In this matter, there was truly only one victim.
It was Gong Ze, who was already tragic enough and still so good.
“Gong Ze…”
Feng Yuan murmured, looking at him as he stood up. His heart plummeted into the abyss. Even someone as fierce as Feng Yuan turned pale.
But Gong Ze lowered his gaze, avoiding his eyes, and said softly, “Let’s talk.”
“……”
