The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 502 Doubt

After listening to Hongliang's analysis, Anthony felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. He was particularly familiar with my situation. Anthony was driving and thinking. He thought, I have told my mother about my situation, but no one else knows about it. I haven't even told my father. My mother will definitely not harm me. I will go back and ask my mother.

Soon Anthony brought Hongliang and others to Anthony's house. When Hongliang carefully pushed open the slightly worn-out door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The room was dark and damp, and the walls were peeling badly, as if telling the vicissitudes of time; there were few furnitures, which seemed particularly empty and simple. A stale smell came to his face, making Hongliang frown involuntarily.

However, at this moment, Hongliang suddenly remembered all the things about Anthony. He knew that Anthony came from a poor family and was often bullied in school because of this. Those children always laughed at him for his shabby clothes and worn-out items, and even deliberately excluded him from participating in some activities.

Although Hongliang had always known that Anthony's family was not rich, when he actually saw it with his own eyes, he found that the reality was much worse than he had imagined. This place could be described as destitute, and the degree of poverty was far beyond his expectations.

"Mom, this is my friend Hongliang." Anthony introduced Hongliang to his mother enthusiastically. Then he pointed to the people behind him, who were Hongliang and assistant Li Min.

"Hello, auntie." Hongliang also happily called Anthony "Mom."

"So you are Hongliang. Anthony often mentioned you and said that you often took care of him when he was at school. Thank you." Anthony's mother said with tears of excitement in her eyes.

"Come on, kids. We are poor and don't have anything delicious to eat. Let's have some fruit." Then she picked up the fruit on the table and asked them to eat.

"Okay, thank you, auntie," Hongliang and their assistants answered Anthony's mother in unison.

After everyone sat down, Anthony immediately asked his mother, "Mom, I only told you about my situation. Who else did you tell?"

The mother thought for a moment and said, "I only told your father. What's wrong, kid? Can't I tell him? I'm going to tell him so that he won't ignore you and me and make our lives so hard."

"What did you tell Dad?" Anthony asked his mother anxiously. He thought to himself: Mom is a person who always loves to brag!

At this moment, the person standing opposite her was her father! You know, her father always bullied her mother in the past, and he didn't care about Anthony and her mother at all.

But now the situation is different. Mom thinks her son has a promising future. Given her personality, she will definitely show off in front of Dad! Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't help but feel a little worried. He didn't know what his mother had said.

"I just said 'You've made a lot of money' and told you that you found a very rich girlfriend in the United States and that you two are going to get married soon! Is there anything wrong with saying that? Humph, look at you now, you've made a lot of money!" The mother put her hands on her hips and looked at her son with a firm face, not realizing the problem in her words. Her slightly raised chin and firm eyes seemed to declare her firm belief in what she said.

"That's the problem. Who else is in your family?" Hongliang blurted out when he saw Anthony's mother being so affectionate.

"I have three half brothers with the same father." Anthony looked at Hongliang with a puzzled look.

"What is your relationship with them?" Hongliang looked at Anthony with a very serious expression.

"This is actually not a particularly good thing. It's just that my father doesn't like my mother, and those people take advantage of the fact that their fathers like their mothers and often bully me unscrupulously." Anthony slowly recounted this past event in a calm but slightly sad tone.

Deep in his bright eyes, there seemed to be endless grievances and pain. Every word seemed to carry heavy memories, which moved people.

"Where are they now? Let's go see them." Doubts suddenly arose in Hongliang's mind, and he was very sure that the problem was in their home.

Anthony had no choice but to take Hongliang to his father's house and asked, "What are your father and his sons doing now?"

Anthony thought about it and seemed to find it difficult to speak. His voice became low, as if shrouded by an invisible pressure: "They are just unemployed vagrants who do nothing at home, idle all day long. Moreover, they often indulge in gambling. Once they lose money, they will do those shameful and sneaky things." His eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and shame, as if he was very sad that what he described was the behavior of his brothers.

"Therefore, my mother felt extremely proud and proud because of the fact that I stood up for her. It was as if all the grievances she had suffered had been released and she could finally stand up straight and be proud of herself." Anthony paused, and then took a deep breath.

"So, when facing those people who once looked down on us, mother and son, my mother could no longer contain her joy and pride, and she showed off in front of them without any hesitation." Anthony seemed to see his mother smiling and in high spirits, and her words were full of praise for me and satisfaction with the change in her current circumstances.

After a while, Anthony brought Hongliang to Anthony's father's house. Hongliang looked around and found that his father's house was a little more spacious than Anthony's mother's house, with more and better furniture, but still not rich. Hongliang wondered if this was the common family situation in Thai families.

At this time, a fat, dark-faced, wrinkled old man in his sixties or seventies, wearing a navy blue T-shirt, with a weather-beaten look and a face full of worries, walked out of the main room. His steps were a little staggering, as if every step was carrying the weight of the years. His eyes revealed a deep worry, as if he had endless troubles in his heart. The old man looked a little lonely and desolate in the main room, as if he was out of tune with the world around him.

"Dad, this is my friend Hongliang." Anthony introduced Hongliang to his father.

"Hello." Anthony's father greeted Hongliang, "Please sit down." Then he poured a cup of tea for Hongliang in a teacup, and then Yi Yi's assistants also poured a cup of tea each.

"Dad, brother and others haven't come back yet?" Anthony looked around and saw that only his dad and stepmother were at home.

"He hasn't returned home since yesterday, and I don't know where he went to gamble. If he loses, the family will suffer." Anthony's father looked helpless, shook his head, and sighed heavily.

"Hey, they are all my sons. I wish they were like you." He looked at Anthony.

At this time, Hongliang wondered why Anthony did this. Yesterday, he asked Anthony to ask his family to help him find Li Min, but Anthony said he couldn't find anyone. What was going on? At this time, Hongliang had a doubt in his mind. Could it be that...
