In the blink of an eye, I found myself in an unfamiliar living room.
Xu Gang passed right through me.
His wife was lying in the bedroom, playing on her tablet. She merely lifted her eyelids slightly and grunted, "You're back."
Xu Gang answered, "Mm," grabbed his pajamas, and went to the bathroom.
Before long, I heard the sound of running water from inside.
After finishing an episode of her show, Xu Gang's wife tossed her tablet onto the bed, opened the bathroom door, and stood in the doorway, muttering, "How did your talk go? What does he want this time? What did your dad say? He's trying to smooth things over again, right? I told you, that old man's biased as all get-out. I sometimes wonder if you're even his real son. He'd really stoop to playing mind games with his own son. Xu Tie is the only one he treasures. He thinks of Xu Tie in everything. You're just destined to spend your whole life serving him. Just you wait. Xu Tie's son is all grown up and old enough to get married. The old man will definitely ask you for a house and money. He might even make you pay for the gift money he gives the bride's family when they meet. You're such a fool. After all these years, you still believe him. You're a complete idiot, and he's still keeping his guard up around you. You asked him ages ago to move in with you and Mom. What did he say? I think he and Xu Tie drove your mom to her death. She was perfectly fine, no illness or pain, and then suddenly she had liver cancer. Meanwhile, they're both doing just fine..."
Xu Gang's wife seemed to have a whole bellyful of grievances.
