Chapter 1112: Second Damage
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’ve never been into bridge construction, yet d*mn it, I’ve got an inspection to do tomorrow. Something I don’t fancy,” Zhou Hengguang exploded. He slammed the gla.s.s onto the floor, shattering it to pieces.
“Everyone thinks I’m the luckiest among us three brothers, free to do as I please,” Zhou Hengguang sneered and opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with a fierce, almost malicious glare. “But who knew after all my struggle, I’d end up choosing something I don’t even like.”
“What’s the point?” Zhou Hengyang’s expression turned cold and indifferent. “Who isn’t enduring it? As long as one was alive, one could not do whatever they wanted. Even if you’re from an ordinary family, don’t you still have to compromise?”
“Since you’ve been enduring and working hard without any regrets, why did you run away from home?” Zhou Hengguang taunted.
“Hengshan didn’t have to die.” Zhou Hengyang suddenly looked down.
“Yeah.” Zhou Hengguang slumped back onto the sofa, devoid of energy. “Second brother is dead. He shouldn’t have died. Because Big brother left when he shouldn’t have.”
Zhou Hengyang was stunned. Only then did he realize that his sudden disappearance and severing ties with his family had hurt his brother.
When he left, Hengguang was away on a field trip with his mentor, far from the Capital.
Hengguang’s pain over Hengshan’s death was no less than his own.
And his departure was a second blow to Hengguang.
“I’m sorry.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. No need to apologize.” How could he let Zhou Hengyang apologize? How could he let Zhou Hengyang stay longer in the house where his twin had died?
“I’m compromising too! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up choosing bridge design,” Zhou Hengguang muttered in frustration.
Zhou Hengyang chuckled softly. He affectionately tousled his brother’s head. His soft, dark hair felt comforting.
Zhou Hengguang pulled away in distaste. “I’m not your wife. If you want to touch someone’s hair, go touch hers.”
“B*stard, you dare to joke around with me using your sister-in-law.”
“I have no qualms about it. Haven’t I always been bold?”
“Then get ready to explain to your sister-in-law!”
“No need.” Zhou Hengguang’s voice grew quieter.
“Oh?”
“She won’t tell anyone.” The Qingqing he knew was heartless. If she found out, she would turn her back on him and not recognize him. She wished she could never know him. No, she wished that she had never seen him before. That’s what she would do.
So, of course, she wouldn’t complain to Su Wen.
Su Wen was smart. If Su Qing didn’t say anything, even if she knew, she would act like she didn’t.
Honestly, he would rather Qingqing confront Big brother and Su Wen, hold him accountable, and question him.
It would prove that Qingqing cared about him.
“You brought it on yourself.”
“It doesn’t matter. Even though I failed, I didn’t lose anything.” Zhou Hengguang waved his hand dismissively, urging Zhou Hengyang to leave. “You better go! I need to sleep. Early start tomorrow, with all those old men around, I need to stay sharp.”
“You… Forget it.”
With that, Zhou Hengyang waved and left.
Zhou Hengguang sat quietly in the living room. He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there. He waited until Ji Fang knocked on the door before taking a quick shower. He packed his clothes and supplies and left.
…
Two days flew by quickly. As Su Wen struggled with her workload, Dong Na and Xu Junfeng arrived from the Capital.
