In the tavern.
When Gong Jie took out the aged dry red wine from his collection, Alice was
inevitably flattered.
“I see that you’ve had this for a long time. But now you can bear to part with it?
Gong Jie smiled and filled her glass. Alice returned his smile briefly and took a
sip of the wine.
“You didn’t rush back just to have a drink with me, did you?” Alice teased,
“Could it be that you’re back because you miss me?”
Gong Jie was used to her teasing, however, right now, he was less interested in
bantering with her. He said bluntly, “I came back because there’s a matter I
wish to have some answers to.”
“Alright. Ask away. I’ll answer whatever questions you have.”
As Alice spoke, she pursed her lips against the rim of her glass and eyed him
intently.
Gong lie went straight to the point. “A while ago, you disappeared for a long
time. No one knows where you went.
Alice held the wine glass and stared, as one transfixed.
Gong Jie looked into her eyes intently and said with deliberation, “You wouldn’t
leave the headquarters for no reason. There must have been something
unusual going on that had to be kept from everyone. Where exactly did you
go?”
Alice said nothing
“Can’t talk about it?” Gong Jie narrowed his eyes and asked again, “Then let me
ask you another question. Gong Fan.. who exactly is this child?
Alice’s fingers tightened around the wine glass. Gong Jie observed the change
in her expression and saw her stiffened fingers. He knew at once.
Alice replied, “Gong Fan? Why are you suddenly asking about him? No one in
the entire Hurricane Group knows where this child is from.”
“But you do.”
“L
“Alice, you know that the mouth can lie but the eyes can’t.” Gong Jie continued
expressionlessly, “Now that things have come to this, are you still trying to
hide it from me? If I weren’t confident, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.
Tm here because I’m 90%o sure that Gong Fan is Yun Tianyou, right?
Alice suddenly fell silent! She turned ashen and said, “I don’t know anything.”
“Do you really not know anything, or did Father tell you to keep it a secret, and
you can’t talk about it?
Alice could not reply. She felt that she could not lie to Gong lie. But the rational
side of her reminded her to keep this secret. However, it was a big struggle for
her! Her heart ached for Youyou as well as Gong Jie!
Alice put down her wine glass and suddenly said, “Gong Jie, as a friend, I wish
to remind you to persuade your sister to come back to the Gong family and
acknowledge her father. Blood is thicker than water – they are related by blood.
How can a biological daughter not acknowledge her father?
Gong Jie narrowed his eyes with a gloomy expression.
“Alice, are you implying that Father is hiding Youyou as a punishment for my
sister?
Alice looked away in panic. “I didn’t say that!
He suddenly grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. “Alice, loolk into
my eyes!
Alice looked up at him.
Gong Jie said to her in no uncertain terms, “If you lie to me, Alice, you’ll regret
it!
Gong Jie
“Do you know that we’ve gone crazy searching for Youyou?!” Gong Jie suddenly
flared up. He stood up and said in a cold voice, “What is this? Hiding a helpless
child and using him as a puppet.. What is this?!
