"Since the fifth one is here—" Zhan Dapeng’s words stopped midway with urgency.
Zhang Sanfeng needed to remind him, "Second Brother already said, the fifth ca to save his sister-in-law, not for anything else, let alone to see us."
Zhan Dapeng thought of the previously gloomy Sixth Brother, who evidently missed the chance to et the fifth, and with a bit of dejection, he sat down: What should they do for the fifth to be willing to co back?
In the bedroom, Gu Nuan sat quietly, and next to her, Xiao Yebai also sat quietly.
The intermittent sounds from downstairs all indicated one fact.
He was back!
That day, before she went in for surgery, it was him who walked into the operating room. It wasn’t her hallucination, it wasn’t a dream, Gu Sheng wasn’t wrong. However, he didn’t talk to her, didn’t face her, but why?
Father Gu’s remorseful tone, Mother Gu’s sobs, Ou Chunhua’s hysteria, Ou Shihua’s anger.
If he were here now, hearing these people’s voices, what would he think? Gu Nuan imagined, without needing much thought, if it were her, her heart would probably turn completely gray.
No matter how much these people regret, they cannot erase the facts of what had happened, the past and the pain he endured. Just thinking of even a bit of it made her heart twist with imnse pain. That was the younger brother who grew up with her, because their parents were busy with work, it beca that the two siblings depended on each other, sharing a special bond. So, when even her parents could choose to give up on him, she was the only one who didn’t. Every year searching, saving money every day.
Gu Nuan slowly turned her head, looking at her husband’s face beside her: "Is he—the fifth one?"
Xiao Yebai raised his head, the people downstairs didn’t ntion the fifth one, how did she think of him.
"Last ti, when he ca to save , they, you, all called him the fifth. The fifth is my brother Gu Sheng, right?"
It turns out she had tied all these matters to her heart. After all, he was her brother; she recognized him at a glance, rembered every detail, which was very normal.
After Gu Nuan asked these questions, she noticed her husband’s expression becoming even more silent. In fact, the pain on his face was not less than hers, but even more and deeper.
Just like the other brothers, Xiao Yebai had never thought the fifth had such a past, as if like the protagonist from a tragic world, suffering more than any of them. After all, before being kidnapped, they were truly pampered young masters, growing up in a protective, trouble-free family environnt. But the fifth was not, he not only grew up in a materially poor family environnt but ultimately was used as a substitute by the wealthy family.
The funniest thing is, fate played the biggest joke on the fifth, who was actually the true son of a rich family. Because of this, the fifth never enjoyed a single day as a rich young master.
Abandoned by adoptive parents, pushed into an abyss by his biological mother, and then betrayed by his brothers. What trust could the fifth still hold towards this world? If he were the fifth, he would just want to destroy this world utterly.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Nuan lowered her head, spotting his two clenched fists.
Pulled back by her, Xiao Yebai softly uttered three words, "I’m sorry—"
This apology was instinctive, needing no thought from him.
In an instant, Gu Nuan understood his aning, looking into his eyes: "You an, if he really is the fifth, my brother Gu Sheng, is it because of you that he doesn’t want to see , right?"
His wife, such a clever person, with one sentence, pierced right to his heart.
