Chapter 4219: The Other Side 188

Yun Shishi recalled, “When he was younger, he was never so overbearing. In fact, he loved to smile. I loved to see him smile. It was so infectious. No matter how sad I was, his smile would instantly chase away the gloom.”

“But since that time, he had not smiled much.’

From then on, Gong Jie stayed at the Gong family residence, and began to receive military training. As he grew older, he gradually rose to prominence among his peers.

Gong Shaoying was proud of such an outstanding son. When Gong Jie reached adulthood, the Old Master handed over more and more Hurricane Group to him over time.

Gong Jie was very hardworking. He could always complete any task Gong Shaoying assigned him. However, Gong Shaoying had clearly underestimated his son’s ambition.

As the saying goes, the younger generation will surpass the older. This is true.

Gong Jie’s ambition would only be greater than Gong Shaoying’s.

The Gong family had a main family and many branch families. In the huge family, juniors of the same age as Gong Jie were inevitably interested in girls and romance. The young men were given to debauchery, however Gong Jie was not interested in women.

“Did you know that at that time, the Old Master was so anxious thinking that his son had taken an abnormal turn! Therefore, he also kept hinting to Gong Jie to find himself a girlfriend.”

Oddly, at this point, Hua Jin found his eyelids twitching at Alice’s words. He couldn’t quite bring himself to meet Alice’s eyes. Could it be that Gong Jie really wasn’t interested in women!?

Yun Shishi was worried, too. “I don’t think he’s interested in women, either, but I really don’t know. I don’t think a straight guy like him would be into men!” She paused, then added, “But even if he likes men, I’ll support him. I’ll support him unconditionally, no matter what his orientation is.”

“Cough.” Hua Jin happened to be drinking water and choked at this remark.

Yun Shishi shot him a look and rebuked him. “You can’t even drink water without choking?”

“I’m fine!” The actor quickly added, “I was just shocked by what you said. But I’m sure Gong Jie doesn’t like men!”

“What makes you so sure?” Alice was unimpressed. “Most of the men I’ve met are creatures who think with the lower half of their bodies. It stands to reason that the grown man would have his biological needs, just like any other men, right? Even if we don’t talk about relationships, it’s unbelievable that he’s not had a woman all these years. Anyway, everyone in the Gong family thinks he’s abnormal.”

“Ahem, well… not necessarily! Some men are able to exercise better control over themselves.”

“Haha!”

Alice couldn’t help laughing. “You don’t understand men. Have you never had a woman, either?”

“Uh…” The actor looked away guiltily.

He’d had women. However…

It had never been out of his own will. Given that, it didn’t seem he’d ever had any special feelings for any women.

Least of all Lin Xueya. With Lin Xueya, all he had was a sense of business transaction.

Initially, after spending so much time on the same set as Yun Shishi, he had assumed that his muddled feelings for her were some sort of romantic affection. But in essence, it was just a desire for the reliance one could place on a family member!

He treated her like his own sister, and there was nothing complicated about it.
