Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Not Admitting Mistake
Su Lifan, upon hearing this, knelt on the ground and cried.
Guo Ji stared intently at Guo Xuwen, not blinking as if he had forgotten, holding his breath, waiting for Guo Xuwen’s response.
But Guo Xuwen stared straight at the ceiling.
As if he hadn’t heard Guo Ji’s words, he let out a cold laugh and talked to himself.
“Guo Xuwu, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be disliked by everyone every day. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t seem so worthless. It’s all your fault. You deserved to die…”
“Yes, I pushed you into the water and drowned you, so what? If you have the courage, then kill me!”
Hearing Guo Xuwen’s words, Guo Ji grabbed his collar, his face flushed, “What did you say? Say it again, how did your big brother die, tell me!”
It seemed only then did Guo Xuwen hear Guo Ji’s words. He looked at Guo Ji and grinned, “You all said Guo Xuwu was smart, that Guo Xuwu was good, and that it would be better without a son like me. So I killed him. Without him, you’d only have me as your son, and you could only be good to me…”
Upon hearing this, the blood drained from Guo Ji’s face. He took a few steps back, stumbled over the chair behind him, and fell heavily onto the chair.
Su Lifan covered her face and cried intensely.
Listening to her cries, Guo Ji looked at her dazedly and hoarsely asked, “Su Lifan, did you know all along?”
Su Lifan’s crying suddenly stopped.
She clutched her face in agony, “It’s all my fault, all my fault…”
Just as Guo Xuwen had said.
Guo Xuwu and Guo Xuwen were twins, born one after the other, only a few minutes apart.
When Guo Xuwu was born, he was much weaker than Guo Xuwen. To pray for Guo Xuwu’s health, they gave the carefully chosen name, Guo Xuwu, to the elder son.
At that time, they planned that whichever child was born first would be named Guo Xuwen.
Perhaps the naming was a mistake from the very start.
Guo Xuwu’s health had always been poor, and he naturally received much more care from his parents.
Guo Ji was always working outside, so the family matters were mostly left to Su Lifan. Managing two children alone, she couldn’t help but be a little exhausted.
Guo Xuwu had always been obedient, well-behaved, and intelligent. He would help Su Lifan with household chores from an early age, preventing her from worrying. Once he started school, Guo Xuwu’s grades were always top-notch, always an outstanding student praised by all teachers and the child every neighbor spoke highly of.
Guo Xuwen was completely the opposite of Guo Xuwu. Although they shared part of the name, Guo Xuwen was mischievous, either bullying the neighbor’s children or getting into fights with street thugs, and his school grades were always at the bottom.
They were the same age and attended school together, always in the same class before high school.
The gap in their grades was too wide, and Su Lifan could not help but get angry. Every time she received their report cards, she couldn’t help but reprimand Guo Xuwen.
“Why don’t you learn from your big brother—”
“Such simple questions, your big brother got them all right, and you got them all wrong. Is it that hard?”
“You attend the same class, your big brother can understand, and you can’t?”
“When will you grow up and be sensible like your big brother, so I can worry less, always fighting and playing games! Can’t you learn something good from your big brother apart from these?”
“Both were born by me, how can the difference be so great?”
These words were repeated in Guo Xuwen’s ears over and over as if they cost nothing.
