Over at the Gu Family.
Li Xuemei prepared a table full of dishes, and everyone sat around the table to start eating.
Gu Ruhai had a few drinks, of course with Gu Ruhe as his companion.
As the two drank, Gu Ruhe started to complain to Gu Ruhai, "Big brother, you're living well now. Seeing your days like this makes me happy for you. You don't know how hard it was for me all those years, unable to help you, watching you and sister-in-law struggle, and still having to ask you for food. It broke my heart."
He downed a glass of baijiu.
Gu Ruhai smiled and said, "Don't mention it, we're brothers after all. Right or wrong, it doesn't matter; what's past is past. As for the second brother, I don't acknowledge him—a wicked child so ungrateful I dare not admit as kin. If he can harm his own parents, I wonder who he wouldn't harm. In my eyes, our Gu Family only has two brothers."
Speaking sincerely from the heart, Gu Ruhai felt a bit sentimental.
