Chapter 670 His Life Was Done
"I— " Liu Chin furrowed her brows as she wondered if Zhou Jingren was only playing with her emotions. Was he making fun of her? "It should be Lily." Certainty apparent in her voice. "She is shallow and petty. She wants to cause chaos simply because some women in the community wanted to see her closet. She is too illogical."
"I see." Zhou Jingren nodded. "You can leave now." He said.
"Then— What about Lily?"
"What about her?"
"I— nevermind!" Liu Chin uttered. "I hope you will deal with her accordingly," She added before leaving his office. At least, she was able to accomplish her goal in coming here today. Liu Chin immediately called her brother's number. After a few rings, his groggy voice reached her ears.
"What?" he asked.
"You are drunk?"
"Not yet." He answered. "What is it?"
"Where are you now?"
"Why do you care?"
"Elder brother… are you in your flat? I am coming!" She ended the call without giving him the chance to decline. She gritted her teeth as she left Zhou Capital.
Seeing her brother like this was just heartbreaking. Liu Chin immediately drove towards Gannon's flat and used a key card that he gave her when he bought this place. A loud sigh escaped her lips. She would do everything to help her brother out.
...
The thick smell of alcohol assaulted Liu Chin's senses the moment she walked inside his flat. She furrowed her brows, her eyes scanning the mess in front of her. "Elder brother!" She gasped when she saw him, lying on the couch, shirtless. "Are you alright?"
"Why are you here?" His brows furrowed, irritation apparent in his tone. "Leave me alone Chin."
"Brother… listen… I did something to help you out. I went— "
"I don't care." He interrupted her.. "Leave me alone."
"Elder brother… you are still drunk. You said— " She said when she realized that his breath still smelled of alcohol. She eyed the empty bottle of alcohol lying near him and let out a long sigh. "If you keep this up, you will get sick. I understand that you are angry… but… please take care of yourself." Her voice turned gentle.
She let out another sigh before she added. "Come… Go sleep in your room while I clean this place up." She nudged her arm, "Brother… let's go… I will help you up."
"What are you doing?" Gannon hissed. "I told you to stay away from me."
"I was only trying to help you out! Why are you being so cruel?" Unable to stop herself, Liu Chin blurted. She could feel her face turned scarlet as tears pooled in her eyes. "I just want to help you out! Is that so wrong?"
"Shut it Liu Chin." Gannon said. He opened his eyes and glared at his younger sister. After a few seconds he pushed her hand off him. He rose from his seat and grabbed a half empty bottle. "Leave me alone." He walked towards his room.
"Brother…" Liu Chin followed him. She tried to grab the bottle of alcohol away from him, but it was futile. Her strength is not even half his. "Stop drinking… you need to rest. Why don't you sleep? I will make a soup for you to avoid— "
"Can you stop acting like you care? Stop pretending will you?" He hissed. "Stop this— whatever this is… grandfather said that I am no longer a part of the family! You should stay away from me."
Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she shook her head. "No. Please…. "
"Stop it. You are a coward! Mother, father and even you did not even try to help me out in front of grandfather! All of you— are cowards!"
"Brother!" How could she help him when she was also miserable? Her grandfather knew about the university and now hated her, scrutinizing everything that she did for the company before. He was doubting her capability. "Please stop… just… I know you are angry." She tried to calm herself. "We can talk once you are not drunk. Just… get some sleep first."
A snort escaped her brother's lips. "Leave me alone." He said before going inside his room. The Liu Family was now standing against him. His grandfather was so mad at him that he even warned the other companies not to hire him.
What kind of grandfather would do such a thing?
Now that he lost his grandfather's backing, Gannon felt like his life was done. He had a little savings, his parents refused to help him until he begged and kneeled in front of his grandfather, and his sister was now pestering him like a cat. Could his life get any worse than this?
Shutting the door behind him, Gannon fell into his bed before letting out a curse. That Xun Yiyi really did good in ruining his name.
"Elder brother?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" He exploded. This Liu Chin is just too obnoxious and stupid. "What? Why are you crying?"
"I— I was just… trying to be helpful."
"If you want to be helpful then… leave me alone! Don't even think of seeing me again!"
"But…brother…"
"Stop acting like a love sick puppy!" He hissed, irritation flashing in his eyes. "I am your brother! Can you look at yourself? What are you still a teenager?"
"I— "
"I— I— I—" He mimicked her. "Stop acting like a child and grow up! I am your elder brother for crying out loud! I already told you— you and me… there is no way that we will happen! Do you understand?" Memories of her confession when she was still a teenager resurfaced in his mind.
"But— don't you really see me as a woman?"
"I see you as a stupid woman!" He answered. "I don't know if you are just being stupid or… you are really this obnoxious. I already moved here so I could stay away from you! I have avoided you so that you will move on from whatever it is that you are thinking! This... pretense will not convince me otherwise." He said. "Now… leave… leave me alone and don't even think of coming on her again!"
